Relax and Enjoy Your Cosmic Taco

When I hear people say they are depressed, I know they are doing too much. "What do you mean, Joey? I sit home all day and do nothing." "Do nothing?" I ask suspiciously. I know if they actually did nothing, their problems would disappear. "How do you pass the time?", I inquire. "Well, I watch TV until 4pm, and then I drink booze in the evenings." "You are doing much in your activity." "Say what?" "Those are your intentional efforts to prevent yourself from your natural actions. You are busy!"

It takes a tremendous amount of effort to hold oneself back. Just as pernicious, the human activity of reaching for what one perceives missing. "If I could just lose 25 lbs", "If I could just get a good job", "If I could just have a romantic relationship." Their resolve is weakened by their ambition, and they experience the law of reversed effort, that in any force applied, an equal and opposite counter-force is realized.

The path forward, wu wei: effortless action, doing by non-doing. Only by the elimination of intentional activity will there be realization. All good things come from heaven, our mere participation is trusting and allowance. We become an instrument of the divine, unhindered so we may vibrate freely. We become balanced by allowing balance to balance us. It is impersonal, ambition-less, and without any planning or intelligence. We get out of our own way, so we may become animated by the Supreme. If we are lucky, we may even get a Taco Supreme.
