Rabbit Hole Paradox: Nothing is Permanent but NOW, which is infinite.

Sometimes the seeker feels like Alice tumbling down a Rabbit Hole that seems to have no bottom.

The thirst for understanding and insight appears to be unquenchable and, at times, exhausting.

As soon as we are given another piece of the puzzle, and the picture we see expands, we go rooting around in the box lid for another piece, like a 6 year old that can’t wait to see the “whole picture” unfold.

It has just occurred to the Argentine Tango dancing, Rabbit Hole tumbling traveler that she has been seduced by a Siren’s call.

She is startled by the thought that her desire for MORE understanding is really no different than a power hungry politician or CEO’s lust for MORE POWER… MORE CONTROL… MORE… you name it.

The quest for understanding may appear to be a more ‘NOBLE’ path than the aforementioned to fellow seekers on a “Spiritual Journey,” but that is, pardon me for putting it plainly, Bullshit; beautiful Bullshit, but Bullshit never the less.

In truth, we are all on a “Spiritual Path” whether or not we acknowledge it by name.

Why do we need MORE answers when the only real thing is, in fact, this Present Moment?

We are looking for a sense of permanence so we can feel, if even for a moment, secure.

In truth, the only thing we can be certain of in this life is… NOW.

There is no guarantee or “security” other than NOW.

There is nothing permanent about life except the NOW we are given.

The money, the fame, the lover, the friends, the business, the pet, the career, the gadgets, the kids, the house, the car, the spouse; the very breath we breathe… are impermanent.

It’s true.

Anyone who has survived a natural disaster, a painful breakup, been fired, lost a child, lived at all, knows this.

Each of us has had experience with the loss of something we once viewed as “permanent.”

There is nothing permanent about life except NOW, which exists with or without our awareness of its Divine Presence.

We complicate our lives by needing MORE success, MORE control, MORE self-actualization, MORE answers.

We choose self-imposed labels for ourselves to find MORE meaning and a false sense of permanence.

The comforting news for Alice; to find respite from the queasy feeling of free falling down the bottomless Rabbit Hole of self-inquiry, all we have to do is STOP and be NOW.
It is interesting that we need so many tools to find something so simple, but that is the way of humanity at this time in our development =).

Alice is tired and wants to sleep a while, but before she does, will list a FEW of the keys she’s been given along the way, just in case she dies before she wakes, which sometimes happens with people.

Thank you, from my depths, to The Sage who continues to inspire.

The following are some of the Integral tools for my path. Enjoy.

Ken Wilber and Integral Naked A one stop shop for yummy goodness.

The Sedona Method Best pain-killer on the market.

The Enneagram Institute Can’t say enough about it. It's transformational.

Genpo Roshi - Big Mind Big Heart Watch the Big Mind Movie even if it makes you fidget and yawn.

AND… The Stuart Davis Show!!! Cuz we all need FUN!!
Check out the pilot episode.

I like to watch this show when my head hurts from thinking too F-ing much! Or when I just want to laugh.

Watch them in succession if you can, and keep going, even if you don't like it, because there's gold in them thar hills.

That’s enough for now.
Alice needs a nap.

Love.
