Jeremiah 25:5 · World English Bible
saying, “Return now everyone from his evil way, and from the evil of your doings, and dwell in the land that Yahweh has given to you and to your fathers, from of old and even forever more.
To turn from your evil way is not mainly about morality. It is about waking from the unconscious patterns that run your life, the reactions and resentments the mind repeats without your ever choosing them.
From the Ego v. Being reading below.
The same verse, read by one tradition.
EGO & BEING
To turn from your evil way is not mainly about morality. It is about waking from the unconscious patterns that run your life, the reactions and resentments the mind repeats without your ever choosing them. Each one carries you out of the present and into a story of grievance.
The land given to you forever is not a place on a map. It is the present moment, the only ground you can ever stand on. When you turn from the old compulsions and return to this moment, you come home, because the present is the only place where life actually happens.
Ego v. Being lens
Which old reaction have you been treating as just who you are?
The same reaction, repeated, wears a deeper groove. Freedom begins the moment you see the groove instead of running down it again.
You can step out of this at any moment and return to yourself. The present is always open, however long you were away.
The journey of a thousand miles begins under your feet. Not somewhere ahead, but exactly where you are standing.
