We’ve all been told that if something feels impossible, that it just means your limiting belief systems are getting in the way of you experiencing what you want… and… granted… in many cases, that’s true.

When it comes to spiritual awakening though… that’s a different story.

If awakening feels impossible, that’s because YOUR version of it probably IS. In fact, ANY version of awakening is impossible because in order for awakening to have a ‘version’ at all, it must first be based on a pre-conceived, pre-imagined idea that says who and what you really are is somewhere else; in the form of something else… a something else that exists at another point in time… apart from this one and only moment.

So most seekers of enlightenment shoot themselves in the foot before even taking the first step. It’s a universal error of epic proportions that we all share; a confused and troubled mind eventually becomes dissatisfied with itself and suddenly decides one day that clarity and ultimate truth exists and that it’s just a matter of finding the right version of it. And for a time, we appear to come close to achieving that end.

But of course, eventually we realize there must be some subtle flaw in our particular version that’s preventing true freedom from taking root. We assess and reassess until we finally arrive at a new version of truth that seems infallible and unbreakable. We repeat this cycle over and over again. Fortunately, even hamsters get tired of the wheel.

Let’s stick with that analogy a little bit more… the hamster IS the troubled mind that was once convinced that with just the right amount of effort, an end will eventually be reached where contentment and freedom will be realized.

But how did it all start? Innocent curiosity.

The mind (the wheel) was a device that was very different from the hamster’s normal experience of reality and yet there it was nevertheless; something easily accessible that offered a potentially different way of experiencing things. And sure enough, just that simple experimentation with it was all it took to begin the long journey to nowhere.

We’re all on a long journey to nowhere.

Your sense of hopelessness will depend upon where you are on this journey. If you feel that just a few more turns of the wheel will bring you to your destination, then hopelessness will remain on the menu for a little while longer. If, however, your tiredness is reaching the point of exhaustion, then perhaps it’s likely you’re starting to take your eyes off the path in front of you and are starting to turn your gaze to the side where an entire universe is waiting without an agenda.

And, of course, the more you take notice of this ever-present, journeyless reality, the more suspicious you’ll become of the promise that claims “just a few more steps… just a few more steps are needed and you’re there”.

Eventually, you’ll just stop. You’ll give up on the goal of fulfillment and you’ll step off the path into true fulfillment; a fulfillment that never left you, an unshakable freedom that you just stepped away from for an unknown period of time…
