Things are Not Linear & Why we Give Up - (4945)

Things in the work and in the path are not linear. Meaning progress does not follow an upward sloping line.


Things are more like a spiral with many zig-zags along the way.


Time is round and karma is also round. 


To be a bit cryptic: we wash and wash, repeating the same washing, cleaning more and more with each cycle...


One of the reasons why we give up in small or big ways is because we believe our progress and the progress of things is linear. 


When it seems that we are going backwards or are revisiting a previous problem or a previously experienced negative state we think we are going nowhere...


We then get disheartened and give up, but according to the spiral, we may well be closer to the progress we were hoping for than it seems.


In conclusion, don't give up because our apparent progress is not obeying some thought up straight line.


End (4945).
