X Factor

Think that you can create the life you want? That there is a state in which all things will be created according to your ideals? You may assume that this unnerving impulse to have a life other than the one that is showing up is a tap on the back to improve yourself, stop wasting time, get a grip. Waiting for clarity about your goals and the knowledge of how to achieve them is a common state.

Instead, Life is creating the sense of you right now. This state is the perfect combination of all the forces at work including your conditioning, outside events, and the emotional state of the moment. Even your bottled up, forward moving energy is given.  Don't forget to include that factor representing what even the most practical will call a mystery, or the "X Factor."

The X factor means you are not in charge. Your most frustrating and doubtful moments are the result of things you can't name. You can not not swim in the life you have now. You are just the noticing of this energy unfolding.

Where is all this movement heading? Speculation is only dreaming. Stop resisting the parts you don't like and you can be more present to what is actually happening. By noticing the resistance that arises, you can be aware of the story it creates. You can truly see if the pendulum of all this energy really means anything about you or the "quality" of the living. Question it.

Next week, next month, or next decade will only bring more of the same. Present awareness with bubbles representing a trail of memories and tomorrows daydreams. Nothing else is possible. Give yourself over to that. Find out what would it be like to be completely present to that.
