My husband uttered these words to me today. I was explaining to him a situation in which a discussion based on finding our purpose in life and understanding ourselves ended with the ego emerging within the very beings trying to disidentify with the ego. It just blew my mind…
I had this epiphany. Many of us have experiences and choose the journies to which we will explore and grow. Today, I realized that many people who have been down particular journies find it an annoyance to see other’s walking down that same journey. The annoyance comes in that been there and done that attitude. You know it very well - “I did that already” - when those of us new to the journey annoy others. But why do we annoy others with our journies? I really don’t know and you would think that they would be a source of knowledge and example. Instead I saw grown ladies react from their ego.
This quote my husband said, says it all. Just because the river constantly flows down the same path, does it mean it gets tired of flowing. I would have hoped that this enlightment would help me to facilitate or take away with me the very essense of what it means to find my purpose..just as Tolle’s journey has inspired millions.
