So what\u2019s next?<\/span><\/h3>\n<\/div>\n
\n
You seem to be spiritually evolving, gaining momentum, seeing more and more and more.<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
But now what?<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
More meditation?<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
Courses?<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
Books?<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
Or would less be better, extreme minimalism, becoming a vegan, giving up sex and pleasure and money?<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
WHAT to do next?<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
It can drive you crazy.<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
It\u2019s like you\u2019re always one step behind.<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
Like the universe is leaving without you if you don’t find the magic ticket.
\n<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
You are most definitely not doing enough, learning enough, growing enough.<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
Or you are doing too much, but how much too much?<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
You can\u2019t fucking Tao or Wu Wei yourself through life, can you, when there\u2019s taxes and mortgages and insurances and bills all these other obligations?!<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
You HAVE to keep busy, expand, attract, yeah, keep attracting the good stuff, make it work, go fast or die young, Go Go Go!<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
Or should you pull back from life, live in the woods, meditate 48 hours per day?<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
The bad news is: it doesn\u2019t matter.<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
And the good news?<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
It doesn\u2019t matter.<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
It is not your job to figure it out.<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
If there IS a boat, you won\u2019t miss it.<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
If there IS something to do, it is unavoidable and it WILL be done, and you\u2019ll know exactly when that is.<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
If there IS more learning to do, it will happen without a doubt, whether you think you are responsible or not.<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
You can either drop it all, or try and pick more up than ever before.<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
You can run or hide, but you can never REALLY hide.<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
It doesn\u2019t matter.<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
You are on your way.<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
You ARE the way.<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
It is all unfolding perfectly.<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
And you just can\u2019t go wrong.<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
