I can SO relate to the endless cycles of suppression you describe here, where there is no push towards understanding or applying practical solutions. The power of now is a lovely thought, but I guess it just isn't that simple. However, understanding one's own mind and finding practical solutions to step out of the stress isn't exactly complicated business either, in fact, I think it more directly leads to the simplicity we deep down so desire. thank for this blog Kim, really cuts through some of the bullshit we accept and allow and call wisdom, but is really just endless cycles of the same thing!
