Without inner silence the mindfulness needed to not create stories will not occur. Even this writing is a story of how not to create stories, but the mindfulness of writing helps to minimize the attachment to it and thus once it is written it is complete. It’s the end of the story or not, depending on how “I“ relates it to an identity. The more “I” needs it for an identity, the more it’s attached to and the more of a story is created. No attachment, no needed story, no needed story, no discontentment of what isn’t, so all you are left with is what is, not the story, but the actual reality of what is occurring now.
Story after story. The story of how I feel, or the story of my book, or my life’s story, every life is an endless book of stories, that is until one becomes mindful the story teller and the story are one in the same. Being with what is instead of a created story will be the most difficult thing you will ever do in life; just be in the silence of what is. Attach to nothing and nothing will be needed. Imagine that, not needing anything to be happy, joyous, and free with the understanding your completeness already is. It‘s right here within your grasp, but you will never truly be mindful of it until you realize it’s not a story that you are grasping for, it’s learning to simply be with what is…
