Being impeccable

[ARNWAY]

Good point Bob about attaining goals that are really hard to achieve.


---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------


All of these experiences had one element in common. To one extent or another they were only possible because I had reached what I call "the end of
myself."


And this is my point and the reason for starting this post.


The importance of attempting to reach an unattainable goal.


NOT LEGALISM. Legalism is almost unavoidable in the attempt, I will grant you. So is Ego and self righteousness, etc., etc.


But, these can be corrected if we admit that it is OUR goal, not other's.


So let's take other people out of the picture completely for the sake of discussion and look at someone who has set their foot on the Path. A spirit
Journey of any kind.


To set an unattainable goal is to set yourself up for failure. Period. That is a goal that completely uses all of your Tonal. Every waking hour of every day is
lived for the purpose of acheiving something. Ordering your Tonal to achieve only that goal.




For Carlos the goal was "seeing."


In the Bible (Old Testament especially) it is righteousness (or right standing with God). Which also implies "seeing."

I think that the element of self importance has an element with this.




To defend things or obstacles that one can not attain, maybe?




For me to not to cling to my reason is easy for me but not for others.
