James: correction: “I am drawn forward by pure intent to gladly allow the universe to live me to have af happen.”
Does this sound exactly right? [link]
Hi @James,
No, it does not "sound exactly right’.
The very fact that you have replaced my phrase of “allowing the universe to live me” [link] with the acronym “af” speaks of a distancing yourself from, and thus watering down (i.e. depreciating), the very quality and magnificence of your ultimate goal. Instead of trying to be more “succinct” (i.e. minimalistic and economical), what is required now is to contemplate at length and in overwhelming depth what your aim actually entails – to altruistically and willingly abandon what you hold as the most precious thing ‘you’ are, ‘your self’, in order to be able to leave the ‘real’ world behind and come into the actual world.
Your phrasing “to have af happen” does in no way represent an actual freedom from the human condition, not in those words and hence not in your mind/consciousness.
An actual freedom from the human condition means living the “magical perfection of the purity of this infinite and eternal universe twenty-four hours a day” and experiencing “the purity of life” which “emerges from the perfection that wells up constantly due to in immense stillness which is utterly immense in its scope and magnitude.” (quotes from Richard’s Journal, Article Twenty-five).
Without a full acknowledgment, a presentiated awareness and a deep appreciation of what you are aiming for, how can you possibly invite and experience pure intent (as described by Richard above) to guide you, to draw you forth, to immerse you in the sweetness and tenderness, which are the qualities of this utterly benignant universe, and to ultimately seduce you to let go, to give up, to abandon what ‘you’ presently hold most dear?
As Richard said in the same Article “One has to be daring enough to live it …”
