One of my arguments against updating here is that it makes me attached to my "story". More accurate to say that I hardly get enough time to update, and this is one of my rationales for why that is okay.
Writing down my thoughts, experiences, my worries and fears. These things are all part of my story. But you are not your story, I am not my story. You are an expression of the vast and timeless consciousness that underlies all of existence, that is inseparable from existence. The essential mistake that we keep making here is to believe we are separate from this consciousness, this light. When I hold on to my story, I am creating this separateness. I am fueling it. I am believing that my story makes me who I am. Which is to say that I am forgetting who I am. I am the stillness, I am the emptiness. You are too. So don't get too caught up in your story, in your endless stream of thoughts.
Your story will end when your body dies. It must not be so important after all. Nothing real can be threatened.
(Mostly these are not my words, I am only remembering them here.)
