Enthusiasm Expresses Being

A woman describes experiencing luminosity where darkness once was, bringing tremendous enthusiasm, and asks if there’s reason to curb this enthusiasm as some spiritual teachings suggest. Rupert affirms enthusiasm as the natural channel through which being’s innate peace and happiness express in the world – the impulse to share and create. The woman expresses relief at permission to feel good about mundane activities without self-criticism. Rupert reinforces this understanding with reference to the film Perfect Days, where a toilet cleaner finds equal peace in all activities because his happiness isn’t invested in content.
