When we haven’t tried it yet, we believe some external things, will make us feel fulfilled
This is a way to explain what happened to me some years ago. paradoxically The sense of lack was growing inside me, becouse I got on a race to find that feeling of fulfillment.
Being in the journey of innovation gave me an insight: we don’t include ourselves in our mental model of how the world operates. When I realized that, Including myself into the model, radically changed the thoughts inside my mind; the preconceived assumptions started to disappear, so it lead me to search by months some knowledge that could explain that change. I read a lot of scientifical papers, books and other sources to finally made me realize logic has its limits(Gödel’s incompleteness theorems ).
I realized that reality is based on truth and interpretentions of mind, that every individual experiences his own reality.
After that, my reality had changed but not the sense of lack inside me. In a gleam of consciousness, I noted that my way to see the world was totally flawed, so googling “the forces of life”, I stumbled with “The Power of now” by Eckarht Tolle, the clarity of his teaching surprized me. At the begining, listening his teachings didn’t help me too much, but as Tolle says: “it’s something the mind can not understand”, so it took me awhile to be really aware of the identification with the mind. “You take the thinker to be who you are”[Power of Now].
That kind of identification is the essence of a sense of lack. from the identification with form of any sort, a thought arises, that things people does or achieves, creates identity and even it makes us happy; but on the contrary, experience mighty things is the result of being complete in the present moment.
Suddenly this quote made sense to me:
“Your vision will become clear only when you look into your heart. Who looks outside, dreams. Who looks inside, awakens.” Carl Jung
