We are constantly spending the energy from the sources that creates the conditions of our mind. How we spend it to interact with those around us and to make it accessible to them does not end. It has no beginning and no end. It is always present. How we spend it creates the connection between us and other people. To nature and its inherent wisdom. It opens us up to the content of our mind. To our self-observation. The more we open up the more it respond to us and we enter deeper and deeper into life, and into that which is not dependent on any single lifetime. It has the lifespan that contains all of them. All the time. It doesnt change. We are. Life changes all the time as the content of the mind is spent into it and we pay attention to it. It is this relationship to life that makes us believe that everything in it is permanent. Not that what changes in our reality exists in us, and in every single relationship all life has to its origin independent of every individual embodiment of it. If we are truly searching for something of ourselves that will remain in a future without us, or for what this is, that we have become out of our history, then what we are striving for is here all along, within us.
