I am re-reading the first chapter of WOB to deepen my intention. I am struck by the attitude he takes towards this text. That it was something that he constructed to keep his own intention steady, that he never dreamed that it would be something for others.
And now it's this classic.
I started this blog first with the intention of writing it for others, but now it has become something that has been the anchor in my own journey. I struggle sometimes with the intention of this blog. Is it only for myself, is it meant for others? It's been a wonderful tool in my own development and I will keep it up for that reason. But whether it is useful for others does not feel like something within my power.
For it to be useful to others maybe what it needs is the clarity of intention. For this to be the expression of my bochichitta and to embody the energy that is engaging.
My intention is to live in non-duality. To move beyond the struggle. To truly and deeply understand the value of just being.
To just be my true self, to recognize that I don't need to change. And then to change.
