8 – Passing into the future
The gradual realisation that the stillness and peace we seek is to be found within the mind is a beautiful and profound realisation. It is an awakening and a new understanding.
Imagine a tiny island that has appeared in the centre of a vast ocean, rising above the surrounding waters, with a clear and panoramic view of what lies all around, and of what exists above.
And as time passes, and the island develops stability, there arises a sense of permanence, safety and security, as the choppy waters and storms can no longer wash over the island or erode its shores.
This gradual change is similar to how our realisation of inner peace grows and develops, from our first brief initial glimpse, transforming over time into a stable and continual adventure of growth. And as time passes, the small events and trials that would have deeply upset or troubled us will lose any potential to affect our peace of mind, and then, as time moves into the future and we continue our practice, the capability to withstand emotional storms and tempests will improve.
