I’ve been reading and practicing some of the concepts from non-duality and the direct path, and they suggest that we keep looking for what needs change or fixing in the wrong place.
So I wondered what that means — and came to the conclusion that we keep insisting on changing our personality: shadow work, personal development, healing, becoming, and so on.
If our personality is "the wrong place", then what’s the right one?
When we experience unity, we realize that even our personality is a story — an interpretation of reality seen from a limited perspective. Unfortunately, we identify with that story and can’t see that reality is different from the description of it.
If we ever experience that glimmer of unity, we realize there’s nothing that truly needs fixing.
I very much like the idea of glimmers, John.
