Important note: All the posts on this blog were written by Bob Harwood (AKA 'zendancer') on the forum spiritualteachers.proboards.com. I have merely reposted a collection of them in blog format for the convenience of seekers. Some very small mods were made on occasion to make posts readable outside of the forum setting they were made in.

The goal-less goal

...is to become free of mental habits/patterns that lead to feelings of anxiety, sadness, unhappiness, lack, etc. If we stay in the present moment (either through remaining in the I AM, ATA, etc), then comparing thoughts, checking thoughts, self-centered thoughts, etc. remain absent. The mind becomes open, empty, tolerant, free, detached, etc. It is like dropping one's psychological burdens and becoming child-like.
