Well Being with Don Oakley

Going All In

We may meditate for years, go on retreats, maybe even notice the ever-present quality of awareness, and yet still hesitate. The internal conversation might be, “Yes, I have glimpsed awareness, but how do I know I can really trust it?” The thinking mind can conjure up an endless list of doubts and questions. Any one is enough to obscure that formless purity, much like a hand held in front of the face can obscure the enormity of the Sun. What will it take to go all in?
