Don't fight the expectation

Don't fight the expectation. When you go to meditate, start the meditation by asking what is my expectation for this meditation. And then just list off in your head all the expectations. Like, I want clarity, I'll feel better.

This is going to make me not fight with my partner. This is going to help me become enlightened. This is going to help me be a better father, whatever it is. And just say them out loud.

Don't fight the expectation. That will just increase the strength of the expectation. What we want to do is just become aware of the expectation without fighting it. And just the awareness itself will begin to disempower and unravel the expectation, right?

Trust and believe in the bright light of your own presence, of your own soul, that it will see through illusion and erode the illusion so all that is left is the diamond of truth. Hi, I'm Scott, a spiritual teacher guiding people through spiritual awakening by embracing our humanness.
