What Happens Next?

Because the content of the unconscious issues is (by definition) unknown to our conscious minds, and further, because the different levels of Essence are not only unknown but unimaginable to the personality, having expectations or preferences about what will happen next can only interfere with the process of freeing our Essence. The process of essential development has its own logic, which you can discover only as it happens. (Diamond Heart Book 1, pg 170)

To allow the process of growth you need to allow that anything is possible, anything can happen. You don’t know what it will be. There is no way for you to know the next step. If you try to direct it in any way, you're just going to stop it. You can only be yourself, be what you are now and allow the next thing. For, after all, the core of life is a mystery. (Diamond Heart Book 1, pg 171)

What I’m doing is opening your mind so you can allow and perceive a certain attitude, a certain way of being. That is the freest attitude for the process of growth – the attitude of complete allowing. You are not passive. You are not active. You are allowing. We will see that the process grows, unfolds from one thing to the next. The process emerges if you allow it, give it the space to emerge. Your most important work is to understand the barriers you have against the unfolding. Wherever you are, you look at yourself and understand what are your barriers, what are the things that are stopping you from experiencing fully what is there. When you do experience fully, you don’t try to hold on to the experience or determine what direction it will take. You just experience it fully and that’s it. Your mind is open for anything to happen. (Diamond Heart Book 1, pg 171)
