There is a lot of helpful stuff in A New Earth about aligning the Power of Now teaching with everyday life, planning, taking action and operating in the world of form in general.
A fundamental realization in all of this is to get to a point where you don't mind what happens. I think J. Krishnamurti said something like this at one of his lectures, asking the audience "do you want to know my secret? I don't mind what happens."
It is the realization that "nothing matters but everything is honored", which is another Krishnamurti quote I think. A way of approaching your life in a playful way: you realize that nothing you could ever do or accomplish has the power to make you happy, but you do it simply because you enjoy it. And so when you decide to cultivate new skills and so on, you do it for the play of it and not because of some future projection in which it will have paid off. |
