A simple reality

All,

I think I grasped something actually kind of profound, although it is rather very simple!

It's the nature of overthinking, and how that can creates so much unnecessary stuff.

I know that some zen schools and "spiritual" type stuff can talk about that a lot, but in a real grounded way, there is a real experientially profound dynamic here.

It's that wrapped up in this dynamic, you're not only creating and relating to a bunch of stuff, (that's not really there,) but you also suffer all the consequences of having them.

In alignment with my old post about hard work and having a "drama," it correlates there exactly, and then even in relationships, you might not really be relating to your partner or showing up with what's right in front of you! And it FEELS like it also relates to some of the lessons about being "in your head" or the internal person as the alternative.

Without all that feels a lot more present and comfortably extroverted, you could just do stuff without jargon and not suffer unnecessary consequences whether you do or don't decide to do something. You can just act without a "drama."

Literally just the absence of that alone is hugely relieving and provides bigger opportunities, in my opinion. Even for learning somehow by observation rather than speculation.

Also, let me know if I'm yapping too much on here cuz I don't wanna impose. Thanks everyone
