When there is a belief running that there is a me doing this thing called Life.
What is actually happening is that the personal identity is getting in the way of what is already done. What is already divinely orchestrated.
What we come to realise is that Life is actually on course ~ always has been, always will be.
Life knows the best route for us and is taking it no matter what the mind tries to do to control it.
There are no punishments or lessons here, simply a steering back ‘on’ course ~ which to the mind can be seen as a setback, a mistake, an annoyance.
An analogy we could use for this is that we are riding on the back of a horse believing that we are controlling where it is heading ~ when in fact the horse in question is on the back of a trailer being smoothly guided along.
Annoyance will arise when we believe that ‘this’ path is not to our favour so we most often try to manipulate it and get in its way.
In observing the antics and annoyances of perfectionism rather than being carried away by it, we come to see that Life IS already happening ‘for’ us!
In observing the mind and subsequent emotions, they settle and calm. This can take a process which is perfectly ok.
We can now hear the whispers of Insight and not only follow the truth of the heart but recognise (with clarity) that we were never in control.
Life IS already done and we simply go with its flow ~ because we see that anything else would be tiring and not to mention absurd!

Ha loved the analogy of the horse, rider and trailer 😂 - just visualising it made me chuckle. But, on a more serious note, so true, it just needs to be “seen.“. Your blogs, meditations,
Q & A sessions and 1:1 sessions are helping me in expand in my seeing”. Thank you 🙏
So amusing that there is no control and the image of the horse being pulled along on the trailer quite happily and not having to ‘do’ any ‘thing’. Just brilliant!
