This truth has been transformative for me in the last week.
I rest in the heartspace (am I really saying that?), but I don't search anymore for sensations, or even emotions as much. I rest in my intention to achieve enlightenment for all beings. The fruit of that intention is not a sensation, a mood, a hormonal shift, all those these things happen, it's ultimately a stillness, and enduring truth.
It feels like emptiness, but it is as full as the cosmos is of stars.
This is liberation.
