Week 7: Expectations

• Expectations become projections and filters and compromise the pure idea of “simply take what you get.”

• Spiritual digestion, on the other hand, is an effortless process of letting relevant energy and information find you.

• Effortlessness includes letting go of the drive to explain things or find answers. Seeking attributions for internal material becomes a distraction, and a diversion from simply letting it all clarify for you.

• What we perceive is colored by whatever we expect to see, beliefs, assumptions, and any indoctrinations about things that we come to expect. These expectations become filters for how we will shape and create how and what we see.

Actionable Tip: Remain mindful and become effortless. Stop putting effort into finding “logical explanations.”

We need to “address to digest” and resolve compulsions to attribute negative conditions to some preconceived explanation.

Rather than having what we encounter link our minds to something with some superficially similar content, it’s so much better to be able to see every moment and situation as the unique experience that every moment could and should be. So be fully present in the moment, and thereby move smoothly, lightly and successfully through life.
