So much of spirituality is smoke and mirrors.
And yet simplicity is complex :)
One of my spirit guides recently counseled me about meditation:
"Linda, when you step into the Casino you do not expect to win ~ you would do well to adopt this same philosophy with regards to your meditation practice."
Us spiritual beings in physical form expect a lot of ourselves and, through unrealistic expectation, can end up self sabotaging.
Just Be is certainly the way to go.
Leave the over thinking at the door!

Well, most people going to the casino actually do expect to win - that's what makes this place so filled with the energies of scarcity and despair.
So I would say: "Don't bring your casino mind to meditation" - or do, but while your are expecting to win the meditation game, just be. 😀
Yes, reality is simple - if it was complex, everyone would understand it! 😉
Exactly ~ most people going to the Casino erroneously do expect to win as do most people expect some sort of win from meditation.
I too was a little confused by his analogy until he further explained that the expectation of winning in the Casino was ill founded as was the expectation of meditative success each time.

Happy Zen~ing!
