New Habit for When Your Lost in Being

"Is it effortless to release attention and return to being? And is there similar ease when moving back into experience whilst trying to remain in touch with being? Rupert says: ‘What is effortless is your being. You may need to use effort on the inward-facing path to extricate yourself from the content of experience and come back to yourself. You may need to use effort on the outward-facing path to remain in contact with your being in the midst of experience. Otherwise you get lost in experience. So effort could be used on both paths, but in being itself there is no effort. Being is effortless. The problem is you lose contact with being without knowing you have lost contact, until suddenly it occurs to you. When you come to yourself, by definition you’re back in touch with being. Places like this train the mind, increase the likelihood of remembering the presence of being. Fewer and fewer experiences take you away from yourself. When you are taken away, it doesn’t last so long because your mind is much more inclined to remember. You’re creating a new habit.’"
