Your pointer to John Wheeler just caused something that felt a lot like learning...

Thank you.

Edited to add: No, it felt a lot like stopping.

The point is simple: Just ... Stop.

I wonder if that message is so hard to hear because our monkey-minds tell us things like this: "Being is doing, doing is being. If you stop doing you will stop being. I don't want to stop being!!! So don't stop, do something!!!"

And then seekers who are "on a path" can say things back to their monkey-minds like, "Don't worry, it's OK. I am doing something - I'm learning how to Stop."

And the monkey says, "Oh well, learning about Stopping isn't Stopping. Learning is OK. Just make sure you don't Stop."

And the monkey-mind calms down and goes back to sleep in the corner while the seeker goes on learning, and not Stopping.

I think I'll stop now.
