Learning to dance with Unknowingness

Many Human Souls nowadays have a penchant for developing schedules or plans as auxiliary means to “rejig” their lives from disarray into order. Common ways of upgrading one’s life take shape, among many others, by the installation of a particular workout routine or a special diet plan. Even though each occupation itself undoubtedly brings about many benefits such as health-improvement and Joy, especially during our Awakening we come to see that the somewhat constrictive nature of schedules is, quite frankly speaking, hampering our surrender to the Universal flow.

Contracting habits, behaviors or actions in accordance with seemingly rhythmic Time patterns curtails our Freedom in that we may feel obliged to accomplish or “do” something within a specific Time frame. Compliance with strict schedules often necessitates discipline. In actuality, however, discipline is an artificial by-product of the ego. When we live from our Heart’s Joy we don’t need discipline because we feel this natural drive to act in Love and Time literally flies by.

All creations are taking place in the Now, yet the Joy and Happiness during the process of creating and the final longevity of the end result both share a symbiotic relationship with focus.

The success and efficiency of Heart-based work is unmatched because when we create in a state of pure Joy we are constantly focusing on the Now. When discipline is necessary in one’s work, however, then this means that the work itself is not really fulfilling and external incentives are the propulsory force, dragging us to the patterns of the past or future outcomes and, thus, stealing away our creative power which lies exclusively in the Now.

Having said that, the reliance on a stringent rhythm combined with ego-based discipline comes along with a sense of expectation. Having expectations, again, means following constructs of the past and transferring them onto the Now. In this way, the internal and external corroboration of “have to” or “should” is gradually being maximized.

Even more, as we feed our expectations we cloister ourselves away from miracles. Expectations rely on Knowingness. Miracles go beyond our Knowingness, being open for the unexpected and unknown without the pondering of past patterns. Exclusively seeing the limitless possibilities in each Now, disabusing our purported Knowingness by placidly trusting that the perfect epiphany will blossom just in the nick of Time. Going with the Universal flow without any attachment to Time gives us the golden opportunity to cultivate a splendidly fruitful friendship with our Unknowingness. Drawing our power from Unknowingness makes us to practitioners of our Intuition, the gradual development of which safely and soundly enhances our reconciliation with the feeling state of Beingness, Trust and Love, finally lending us the authentic and inherent feeling that magic and miracles are all around at all times.

Synchronicity doesn’t mean the establishment of tactful routines, but the breakdown of routines. Liberating ourselves from self-imposed prisons, the unfulfillment of which only instils magnified feelings of doubt, disappointment and loss of control in us as a result of unmet high expectations.

Quintessentially, this is what the Soul awakening is about: the reclaim of our Soul’s Joy by decalcifying our Hearts from the whole rust of the past and apprehension about the future and finally returning back to fully leveraging the power of the Now…

Nice ancillary effect: being handed over the extension of our cosmic citizenship from “Earth” to “Universe”.

Much Love and Light,

Alex

Thank you for writing this. It really resonates with me a great deal. As a digital nomad, I am constantly meeting people that have liberated themselves from the pernicious effects of the ever vilified 9-5 only to create another prison of their making: conscious productivity. I meet people who humblebrag about their iron-clad adherence to daily yoga, meditation, vegan eating and whatever else that helps them feel more grounded. Though I have no bone to pick with any of these practices, it is more the cultivation of a culture of routines. Ultimately it makes little difference whether your routine is a morning commute to the office or a one-hour meditation session if you must 'will' yourself to do it. I love what you said about how letting go of the ego-driven need for routine opens the door to the synchronicity that dwells in the present moment.

Great words, you expressed that very well, thanks.

When it comes to spiritual practises, compliance with schedules is actually exactly counteractive to these practises, not only because of the stress factor that naturally comes along with that attitude but also because we treat the entire practise like a to-do list. Many people these days are practising yoga or meditation without truly understanding the actual essence of these practises. I guess many just follow certain trends that are "hip" without even considering the emotional, mental and spiritual work.

Great post :)
