We create a story of meaning. Then we hold on to that meaning, aligning our lives and our efforts to it. It gives us a sense of meaning, of security. Something to hold on to. This becomes the foundation of the reality we inhabit. A self created limitation of reality that we feel somewhat safe in. That we recognise.
To dare to step out of that self created loop takes enormous courage. To let go of meaning, that is immense. What am I then and in what direction do I go?
The career loop, awakening loop or save the world loop. The content of the loop varies but the nature of the loop stays the same. We create it and then lock ourselves into it.
It seems that it is that falling out of context that holds the key to true freedom.
