Finding a direction or wholesome self care are not easy, or simple. In deciding what is important, we often forsake meaning for details. Our primary approach is to rely less on detail or definition, and cultivate the capacity to keep on increasing insight. The beginnings of insight lie in reflection and contemplation. If we are too tied down with details and impressions, it is difficult to devote time to starting the discovery of insight.
Finding a direction is actualized with insight. The clarity that comes with sincere investigation is fueled not only by good fortune but as much by difficulties. When we discover this fact, we can rest in the knowledge that our movement is steady. With clarity, wholesome self care can begin.
Depending on how much we are called upon to handle, we might choose to emphasize outcomes or we might get immersed in process. While goals are important, the commitment to finding and realizing insight is the main driver of arriving at meaning and value.
All this might sound complicated but it really isn’t. If we do as much as we can to handle whatever may be arising and then return to seeking insight, direction comes of itself. If our seeking takes us to details and elaboration, we stay stuck on superficial mechanism and structure and miss the essence.
That is our main message.
To minimize reliance on definition, and hence form and mechanism.
Self care ought to be accomplished with diligence. If we can remember to not look for ourselves in all matters, we acquire the capability to see beyond confines. More often than not we are confined by our dependence on who or what we think we are. Finding a direction is made easier if we can let go of this innate disposition.
Direction isn’t a matter of goals or outcomes, it is a journey of learning. If we can keep moving towards acquiring clearer vision, even obstacles can be the means to fruition.
Our Vision
To keep learning to acquire clearer vision.
