I AM fully desiring to take the leap to the path of dharma, and end the cycle of karma which holds me in a cycle of everyday life.
By karma I don't mean the sense that you have some debt to pay or that you can't indulge in things that make you feel good like the passionateless Buddha did. I don't mean you must become completely detached from your passions in order to free yourself of karma, and not take part in things which make you feel good.
I mean karma in the sense that one receives the vibration they give out in physical form, and unless one is more in-tune than out-of-tune, the cycle repeats (which also leads to the 'magic-pill' mentality).
I already know what I must do (feel good! appreciate! all is well!). ITS ALREADY INSIDE OF ME TO MAKE THIS CHANGE THIS EXACT MOMENT. Right here and NOW.
yet- my successfully doing this for any extended period falls pray to my ever-changing states of being human.
Therefore to get out of this loop of CONTRADICTING thought, do I need to somehow change something outside my control to cleanse my thoughts before I can move forward with ease, not forward/backward/forward (through meditation, releasing subconscious beliefs, EFT, affirmations, and so on)?
Or on the other hand... I know everything is inside of me, and all is well. This is simple, and doesn't need to be complicated. I don't need anything out there, just a change of mind and then it is done...
Yet if that's the case, why is it not easy? why do I keep falling into this endless cycle of forgetting then remembering, not learning from past 'mistakes'
Why does my taste of universal being fade. I feel truly perfect and in tune when I read abraham-hicks. I feel very brief 'bouts' of this eternal feeling when I appreciate a certain aspect of my life, and I feel the emotion spiral towards me and upwards.. and for a fleeting glimpse of 30 seconds I truly feel the leading edge of creation. Then no doubt it fades, and the same mental process of appreciation yields not the same result, but perhaps irritation and once again the repeating over of that cycle.
I read abraham-hicks, or the book I AM THAT by sri maharaj, or BE HERE NOW by ram dass, and for those moments I'm reading I feel truly aligned with my being. I feel wholesome love and potential for infinite creation, I feel love for all that I'm reading. But seconds after I put the book down it all fades again.
I am asking the universe to give me the knowledge, answers, resources, faith, ability, power, desire and feeling to fully set me free from this cycle, and to make that giant leap into constant awareness and uncontradicting thought, the complete control of the power which creates worlds.
I desire a cleansed mind flowing with unconditional love and compassion to all things, and a mind which is disciplined in mindfulness and releasing resistance, planting seeds and not digging them up.
I am asking to once and for all move beyond the cycle into being fully connected with my source so that, even if I experience 'high' periods and 'low' periods (periods of contrast), I still am in full AWARENESS and mental discipline to maintain steady course, and not fall behind once again.
Feeling that I must 'do something' daily to change my habits does not feel good to me now, and I desire that this change come through experience or other means, a permanent awakening to my true self, not of some repetitive thing I must do or some magic-pill I must take to 'fix me.' I am already perfect, and I desire to become aware of this and become enlightened to true-self-love which doesn't fade
