Hello,
My name is Paulus Doksis and now I would like to share about wisdom of depth and precision and how that ties into achieving a greater state of flow in your life.
More of the path of least resistance in your life.
So that wisdom of depth summarizes in one of the quotes of Lao Tzu which sounds like if you want to attain knowledge add things every day and if you want to attain wisdom remove things every day.
So this was pronounced long time ago but I feel that nowadays this wisdom is even more relevant because our cultural conditioning.
The path that humanity took is very much connected to adding more,
Adding more,
Accumulating things.
And that may create the illusion of depth.
You may think the more knowledge you get,
You will become more wise.
But wisdom usually comes when we are emptying out our mind.
Then all the brilliant insights naturally come and naturally can reach the depths of the situations or matters which truly matter.
And when we just accumulate things,
Usually we are just distracting ourselves.
It is same with the state of fulfillment or bliss,
Happiness.
It is not about having more.
It is about having more space to appreciate what already is.
And I also.
.
.
Found this wisdom in a very practical way when I was working with the music that I also put here.
So initially I was also very infused to add more and more layers on top of each other and just later with the help of my teacher I realized that sounds are building on top of each other and the more we are adding on the same frequency range the more sound becomes noisy.
So if we want to achieve depth in the sound,
In producing sound,
Yes,
We need to find spaces,
To give spaces for particular sounds to come into life in their full depth.
Yes,
So it is art of removing,
Sacrificing.
First of all,
Finding what sounds are truly unnecessary,
Like certain frequencies that just makes additional noise.
So we are cutting that and then finding maybe some sounds that sound good,
But they are just too much when many sounds are playing at the same time.
So we also then need to sacrifice certain good things and that is the most challenging part.
It was for me and I believe for many of us to let him go what feels good.
And it can be with various forms of pleasure if we are talking about our lifestyle.
If we are not clarified what is most meaningful and important in our lives then yes,
We are usually crowding our lives with various forms of pleasure.
Avoid themselves.
Pain.
Avoidance of discomfort,
Yes,
We are building a comfort zone where we can experience in the long run stagnation and even depression.
Resentment and so on.
So there is nothing wrong with comfort,
There is nothing wrong with various forms of pleasure,
But what is a relationship,
What is a proportion,
What is the balance of that with all other things that might be more of your true heart's calling.
So are you giving space for that heart's calling to blossom?
But first of all,
Yes,
You need to clarify for yourself what is your deepest heart's desires.
And for that you also need to create more space,
More emptiness in your perception.
In your sensing into your heart.
So.
.
.
In Chinese,
Ancient Chinese,
There was a particular discipline called fasting of the heart.
Yes,
It is like we are doing fasting from foods,
Sometimes fasting from social media.
So there is also fasting from your own thoughts.
When you are consciously stopping investing energy into your thoughts.
Which are just suggestions from your subconscious mind,
From your conditioning.
So when you are consciously withdrawing from those inertias of your mind,
Yes,
You can then tap into a deeper layers of your being and find your true calling,
Your true resonance with this world,
With this particular life that you are having.
You clarified those issues.
Goals those Collings does.
Meanings for your life.
Then yes,
It is more easy to reconstruct your way of life.
To adjust things.
Maybe to minimize certain things and maximize other things.
Sometimes even sacrificing,
Removing certain things.
Creating certain boundaries.
Where you feel like your energy is just leaking into nowhere.
So yes,
Then you are fixing those leaks and consciously directing your flow.
And creating again more space around those things that are truly meaningful to you.
So it is also a game of precision.
The more we are precise the more easily we can solve various challenges.
For example,
When we are pointing into a heart of a challenge,
Where maybe we need just a gentle push into some direction and everything changes,
Instead of trying to force certain situations from more surface.
Level of understanding that is not piercing into the core of certain issues.
So for a precision in various matters in our lives,
Yes,
We need to cultivate awareness of space,
Emptiness,
Depth,
Ability to focus just on one matter,
On one thought,
And see it through various different angles,
Various depths in that empty space.
But to have more space,
Yes,
We need to cultivate that awareness.
Because we are usually conditioned to focus only on those things that are standing out,
That are stimulating our five senses and mind.
But we can also learn to focus in between those things.
In between their thoughts.
And then that space in between widens the more we are focusing,
For example,
On silence.
Between the sounds.
On space between the objects,
On awareness between the thoughts.
A gap between breath in and breath out.
Then yes,
This awareness comes back online.
And yes,
It gives us depth,
It gives us wisdom,
And it gives us insight and precision.
So it is very very valuable thing that which to our conditioned mind seems like nothing For our soul,
It might be everything.
It might be,
Yes,
The very essence of that bliss that I was mentioning in the beginning.
So where is space,
There is flow of energy.
Where is emptiness,
There is fullness of potential.
The room is useful because the empty space within it.
So i just want to highlight that into our awareness because i feel it is very very relevant especially in nowadays when we have so much abundance.
And so much stimuli around us.
So it is necessary for a healthy balance to also cultivate that balance.
Spaciousness emptiness and sincere discernment on what is most important in your life and in each situation of your life.
So I hope that helps and also where is a guided meditation for that that you can immerse yourself in.
Activate more of this wisdom of depth and precision within your direct experience.
So thank you very much and see you around.
