Transformation, Enlightenment, and Freedom

We might say that the essential "insight" of transformation is the
realization that we will not become "enlightened/happy/complete/fulfilled"
THROUGH/AFTER doing or achieving "X" (a relationship, a job, money, fame, a
quiet mind, etc.). That is the essential illusion that leads to
disillusionment. Rather, WE ARE THAT which we want always/already. We
already have a left foot. The "doing" of meditation/creation/sex/success is
distinct from who we are, and CANNOT change who we are. We ARE a perfect
expression of existence. We are already full participants in Divinity, and
nothing we do or do not do can EVER change that.

Given this insight, we can either approach the doing "seriously/personal" (as if it
is somehow important in a soulful/spiritual sense, as if it will somehow
change who and what we are, especially our value/goodness/worth), or we can
approach the doing "playfully/practical" (in my terminology, as a Game: a set of
conditions/challenges we take on for the joy of the challenge and to expand
our capacity/experience of FunJoyment/pleasure/joy/love/beauty).

As I like to say, there is absolutely nothing to prove and no one to prove
it to, AND there is EVERYTHING to do.

The Key Is In The Darkness - Problems Are The Solution.
