What am I going to do now?
The updated mind essentially lives from action to action,
In the constant anchor of doing in the compulsive fulfilment of its own agenda.
Visual observation shows us that this is easily visible and identifiable in moments when the mind has nothing to do.
What am I going to do now?
Even if for a moment she appears rested and relieved,
The mind soon becomes bored,
Restless and disturbed,
Actively looking for answers and solutions to what am I going to do now?
The perspective of meditation reveals this evidence without any judgment or condemnation.
It just brings awareness that the updated mind is subtly obsessed with productivity,
Always wanting to do something.
We are obviously talking about productivity in the broadest sense,
Which goes far beyond professional actions and which includes everything we already do such as cooking or cleaning the house,
Watching a series or a show,
Reading the newspaper or studying,
Helping our spouse,
The children or arranging something with a friend,
Walking or going somewhere and so on,
Jumping to the next action in response to the mental impetus,
Putting things another way.
It is tremendously difficult and torturous to be and to remain doing nothing.
And please,
This intentional academic and absolutist nothingness also includes not reflecting on a certain subject,
Not paying attention to breathing or to the body,
Not contemplating or not listening.
The perspective of meditation does not compel us to contradict or invert the mind as it is and as we inherited it.
The perspective of meditation invites us to give breath and infinity to the grip of personal and collective productivity that grips us,
Allowing and embracing incredibly productive actions such as pure rest and premeditated rest,
Just touching full presence,
Simply being the space to feel,
To freely express,
To sit in silence,
To explore imminent contact,
To allow transcendent being to meet in the darkness of doing nothing.
And you?
What are you going to do now?
Thank you,
My dear friend.
Please leave a word or a sentence in the comments as the echo of this reflection in you.
A big hug in your heart.
See you in the next Daily Pneuma.
Thank you.
