The truth in this, for me is staggering. Part of me wanted to stop it. That part, was so exposed. The empty, phoney, dissatisfied entity that I’ve carried with shame. Think I may have fallen into the void. At last! Thanks Ady
It's possible to develop staying as presence while acting and interacting with the world. This is the meaning of "in the centre of the marketplace" (I think I remember that from Ram Dass). If at first you need to be completely still, then start there. Then slowly bring more action and notice when you lose yourself, which is coming back to yourself. A key is that forcing is always a step in the wrong direction.
