Otis Posted February 12, 2011 How on earth would we find what our core purpose is? Easy! Follow the dwarves! The dwarves are my motivation; my real source of power. "I" (i.e. the part of me that wants to control my path), on the other hand, is merely a self-image! I am a conditioned aspiration towards a fantasy of "who I'm supposed to be", rather than just allowing myself to be who I am. The problem is not: "how do I change the parts of me that I don't like?" Rather, the problem is: "how do I surrender the illusion that I am separate from my parts?" The best way to do that is to stop trying to be in control. Listen to the dwarves. Build a round table, at which they have equal say. Don't be "above" any part of me, or I will always be in separation from myself. Post script: it is important not to "KNOW my core purpose", because I "know" in words, and words will only create more delusion. Instead, my core purpose is realized in the living of it. If I follow my path, then it will lead me through my purpose, without me having to "know" anything. If, however, I try to "know" that purpose, then I will continue to act as a conditioned aspiration, i.e. as an ego. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
