Is Goal Setting an illusion

Ive wondered about this and have as a long time meditator have discovered that “I am the goal’ and the goal was never outside myself’
Its not something you get,Its something you are”
Your subconcious mind already knows what you want” Sure’ write it down if you must but to think its separate from yourself takes away the alignment to your god source energy”
We are moving in a sea of conciousness in a quantum unified field”
The electrons that make up who you think you are are the same electrons that create the mental wave patterns of what you think you need”“
If you are alive and breathing you are achieving”

Buddha said,
“Do not believe in anything simply because you have heard it.
Do not believe in anything simply because it is spoken and rumored by many.
Do not believe in anything simply because it is found written in your religious books.
Do not believe in anything merely on the authority of your teachers and elders.
Do not believe in traditions because they have been handed down for many generations.
But after observation and analysis, when you find that anything agrees with reason and is conducive to the good and benefit of one and all, then accept it and live up to it.”

It sounds like you are describing passion for goals. Passion is an inside job..with connection to God-Source of course(:

I love how you said: “I am the goal’ and the goal was never outside myself’

Though as someone who is finishing up some ‘hoops’ before starting graduate school, I will say one of my largest “tools” is feeling that flow/connection with God..letting go ..and that flow..

• Goal setting comes from within ..though goal keeping/maintaining/attaining uses many avenues…like to stay focused on goals…writing..reading, visualization, letting go, prayer..acceptance, gratitude..

Is this just a semantic thing and we’re kind of agreeing ..or are we saying different things?

Hi laurie
````````````````````````````````````````````````````
Thank you for your reply again.
Likewise I learn things from you as well.``````````````````````````````````````````````````

The semantic thing is interesting as all thought waves eventually disolve
into the god source. Also known as quantum mind measurement”

Its from this perception that time and space start to distort and the truth only relative from the position of where you are standing ‘lol’‘

I have thought about this a lot and I know that the western mind thinks in terms of goals and objectives where as in the east one flows from one moment to the next’which could be tantamount to saying that if your life was truly guided by your intuition,would you be able to change your direction contrary to the planned goal’in midflight’‘ and upset the ego/personalities plans“so your god source alignment would be your total guiding force.

I watched this happen a lot to others and the change that happens after surrendering to the ultimate truth from within’

I have a few perceived plans myself but the more I align to source the more I can drop them as my awareness grows”

As I always say.What you want in January may not be what you want in July”

Always good to get your messages’

Thanks for your considerate time and thoughtfulness toward defining your thoughts and beliefs. I enjoy it very much. I love your profound insight!

I want to give what you said a bit of thought..and a bit of “seeing what is inside”(:

though in the meantime I wanted to share a quote that may not be saying what you’ve intended..but it ‘feels’ like it has a commonality when it comes to trying to interpret experience.

“What is laid down, ordered and factual is never enough to embrace the whole truth: life always spills over the rim of every cup”

in re: to what you said: “What you want in January may not be what you want in July”

I believe that is very reason for flexibility. We are all on a journey..finding our truth..and since truth sometimes comes in bits and pieces and our interpretations of the pieces may take time..an openness to see..and an openness for flexibility is key. Wouldn’t you agree?(:

Here’s to:Love, Respect, Truth, Harmony(:
Thanks for contributing to the beauty of my day(:

hi Laurie:
We are all on a journey and Im wondering if the journey is also an illusion’
Semantics for sure” or have we arrived but have not realized it yet”

“Do not the most moving moments of our lives find us without words?” To those cognizant of the fact that Zen and general semantics must be experienced in order to be understood, a definition cluttered with words and subjected to over-interpretation is not helpful. However, in a literal and figurative sense, a grey area exists where Zen and general semantics affably co-exist, uncommon common ground where distinctions between the two are imperceptible. Perhaps when all is done and said, you too will be left speechless
