Nowhere Is Now Here

When the feeling of separation comes up on our spiritual journey and we feel alone, we have a choice: we can walk around in alienation, or we can come into the present and realize that we’re not nowhere—we are now here!

The main thing,

The main danger on the spiritual journey,

Which isn't even a danger,

It's just what we have to face,

Is,

You know,

When separation comes up and we feel alone and lost,

Like Anna was talking about yesterday,

Feeling like nowhere,

And I pointed out that nowhere spells now here.

So we have a choice between whether we're walking around in alienation,

Feeling that we're nowhere,

Or coming into the present,

Coming into our bodies and being now here.

Right.

And do I know that feeling of being nowhere?

I do.

I remember once being pretty not feeling good and driving out to Richmond to an old friend's house and getting hopelessly lost,

Even though I knew these neighborhoods,

And I just felt like I was driving around a maze.

And,

You know,

It was my maze of my intellect.

I was stuck in.

Yeah,

So I got an experience of being lost in the labyrinth,

You know,

And I was feeling like really cuckoo,

Like,

What's the matter with me?

It was sort of like the twilight zone.

But we all have these weird experiences,

But they're always just showing us,

You know,

The thing that Premasuddha did was I noticed these things and I'd make connections and I'd go,

Well,

This is like my labyrinth of my intellect.
