<p>I hear what you're saying. I've been a writer for about 14 years and have seen that tendency to want to capture insights that arise so they can be recorded and shared with "others". In a sense, it's the mind's way of justifying its own existence. In recent years I've grown to see that these insights aren't "mine" and don't need to be captured and shared. If they need to be, they will. Letting go of thoughts, even seemingly significant insights and realizations, seems to foster resting in aware stillness...</p>

<p>I like the staircase. It is still a mental trap, there will always be more levels. I say trap because it is keeping your mind away from here and now, clinging to... some need or desire to do something so we can get or achieve some improvement.. Go back to breathe, love the breath, lol.. We are exactly where and what we are supposed to be.. Everything is perfect, even if perfect isn't perfect that is perfect. </p>

<p>The best of my understanding, there is nowhere to go or come from because we are already there. As the observer of self, its still a duality. The ego needs to understand, especially to help others, that's the sweetest bait. I bit lol...</p>
<p>I'm becoming aware of this awareness that exists independent of form, yet abiding in form. </p>
<p>Don't take my word for it though, I'm just waking up myself.</p>
