Awakening to frustration.

One realises a lot to say the least in awakening & there's a kind of obligation to share the information. One also sees that one will not be understood, because one is attempting the impossible (to waken sleeping minds). One may also face a direct objection & argument most of the time. Yet this is ones final sacrifice. Ones 'mission' is complete & one will not face rebirth.
I realise it is impossible to awaken a sleeping mind & that it must awaken of its own accord. The 'bliss' is of an inner not outer nature. I still advise that it is the only way to freedom from the cycle of birth & rebirth, however frustrating it may be.

I can honestly say I have never really expected anything from awakening. It's simply a situation I find myself in. I did actively move towards it by dedicated meditation & I certainly have no regrets. Only ego has expectation, so only ego would have any feelings of disappointment or frustration. Hen...

I'm enjoying your series I have a friend going through some troubles as well, a situation that's been going on for awhile, I'm over it she's not, so I asked her, what purpose does it serve holding onto anger and resentment? What positive benefit do you get from it? I want peace, so I'm being still a...

Thanks Catherine. I'm ok. It's something I'm quite used to going through & have less attachment to it each time. Also, each time it doesn't last as long
