Maya and samsara
This is my first time posting here, but have been attending sessions for the last 6 months at different times.
I attended last night and watched last week’s session. I was really struck this morning by a deeper understanding of duality and how it manifests in the world of name and form. That the physical and material things that feel so sure and permanent (relationships, homes, jobs, feelings, people) in how I feel about them, are constantly changing. First it’s good, then it’s bad, then it’s good again, then bad. And on and on. And how much of my life, my inner world and life decisions have been bounced back and forth over and over based on this ever changing “reality” that is constantly moving.
I can see how destabilizing it is to create a life around these external experiences of good and bad, and how much my own inner world has been rocked back and forth over the years trying to get ckoswr to what I once thought was bad or far away from what I once thought was good. It’s a roller coaster ride that never ends.
Welcome Zena! Wow! Yep, I relate to "it's good, then it's bad, then it's good again! These teachings give us the way to see through our samsaras. I always hear Shunyaji's voice saying "are you getting tired, yet?"
