Rose, Guys, the thing about the uncarved block; or the useless tree; what it means, or how I see it ..

Well, it doesn't mean to be a useless bum, sit around and do nothing all day, and to be happy with that. It's more like, not striving too far for things, so that you've gone behond the bounds of your innate nature. It's more like, what you do in life, comes out of, or is dictated by you following, your own innate nature. The thing we struggle with, I think, is that our mind wants to know, it wants to concopt something, anything, that we can then go off and do; so, just that is coming from a place of ego, instead, of it being more in line with what your own heart and your higher self wants for you.

Sometimes, you just can't rush it; and the more you rush, the slower you go; in contrast; relaxing, letting go, having faith in your own nature and the nature of the universe; good things can come out of that.

I'm relating this to my own life; I've had times of panic myself, and my mind takes over, and wants to know there and then, exactly what to do, it want's a quick solution, because it panics; and maybe, that's just the time we need to relax, be still, and feel within for a direction?

I dunno how applicable any of that is to you though Rose ...

I guess, to be still, connect with yourself, and get a feeling for your purpose (life purpose, or just your purpose in this moment), arising from that stillness.
