       A long time Series students reconnects with me....

       A few big realisations just hit me now...
       I had always thought that T/R and H/A was a particular state of
       mind where, for lack of better words, when you got there you'd
       be "something" and not "someone", where you just happened to be
       free to do anything you wanted with nothing Maya/ego holding you
       back... hard to articulate exactly what I mean.
       But I just realised exactly what it is (or isn't, rather) - it
       means navigating life completely "truthishly", always acting on
       your truth which is anything and everything... saying no to your
       partner about a holiday instead of saying yes, when you really
       want to say no because it doesn't  feel like a good financial
       decision... saying yes to meet up with friends if that's what
       feels right instead of letting anxiety (Maya) make you say no
       because of whatever stories she comes up with of why you can't
       come... taking action on the business idea  you've been wanting
       to get started on instead of telling yourself stories of why
       it's not the right moment or why you can't do it.
       T/R and H/R isn't about a state of mind, it's about navigating
       this life/experience in its truth. There's no programming on how
       it can or can't be done, you're just along for the ride and
       doing whatever the hell you want.
       While realising the above, it reminded me of the Thoreau quote
       you mention in one of the Knock Knock Contemplation or Modules,
       which was along the lines of "most men lead lives of quiet
       despair".
       I get what that means now... most people live their lives a lie
       (untruthishly), trying to desperately suppress deep down the
       pain that comes from KNOWING they're living a lie and not doing
       anything about it. From constantly doing or saying things they
       don't want to do or want to say, but the stories their ego tells
       them "makes" them do. They know it's all a lie, so they pretend
       it's the truth by making up more stories (lies) to support the
       previous lie. And on and on it goes, creating more and more
       pain.
       I wonder if knowing this will make a difference in how I
       continue experiencing life or Maya/ego will just try throw
       stories at me to 'forget' or make it seem less important. Let's
       see what happens...
       Kind regards,
