There is a famous line that states, 'The more I know, the more I don't know.'

When i do some research about a subject i know very well on google or another search engine, i am always amazed at the many things i didn't even know about my fave subject....Looks like there is always more to discover...

"What can be more natural, than to merely be? All paths lead to the mystery of eternity, contained in the present moment."
I love that, and learning to just 'be' is the toughest thing I've ever worked on. Thanks for another great post my friend.

Bingo!
All discontent arises from rejection of what is.
Man, did you ever hit the nail on with that one.

That's a great quote. And it's so very true. Acceptance is the greatest healer. Not that it is condoned, but understood.

Thank you for the kind words. Being is the only reality, which of course reveals yet another reality beneath it. Thanks again for a great comment and compliment.

Thank you. Even the most disciplined must realize that returning to being is a neverending journey.

Unquestionably, it can. For, we spend so much time covering up 'what is', that we have to question it to get a handle on what 'it' is.

"It is what it is." That's one of my favorite sayings. It always brings
me peace.
Good post.

Wonderful post
...most especially loved the last part about "all paths lead to the mystery of eternity, contained in the present moment." Wow...now there's food for thought! It doesn't matter the path we take to lead to the Divine, so we should stop the thoughts of discontent. We need to just be so we CAN connect. (although Sannhet's got a point there...how many of us can just be?...as for me, it's more like -- how many of us can just be,
every moment of every day.?) Also, I agree with Sannhet -- love your new name for the blog.

Love the new post name. And for this post, how many of us truly can just "be"?

Discontent is Definitely Not Good for Soul, Mind, or Body

being discontented leads to a slow spiritual death...Learning to be
content in every situation is the key to spiritual growth and happiness.

Rejection of what is
I can relate to. I also think it can come from a simple questioning of what is, rather than just outright rejection.
