You are connected to the Original when you are not able to shift responsibility of your actions upon any comforting idea or some one else. You are ready to bear pain and pleasure of the outcome.
If you are interested in what you are doing-you need no philosophies about life. You are on the Original ground. Philosophies about life are required when you are not interested in what you are doing, in what is before you or you escape ‘what is’ by complaining, blaming, feeling guilty.
Any discomforting situations you face- loss, defame, rejection-your life energy is not affected. If your life energy is in danger-you will act first to save your life energy and then will talk about anything. Noticing this fact puts you on the Original ground.
Liberation is release of energy tied within the pattern of compulsion and relief. Compulsion is superficial interest or compulsive interest in any thing, in any activity, in any work. This has to be essentially countered by some relieving activity, relieving interest for the brain to sustain. When noticed clearly, either relief is disregarded or compulsion is dropped. One is in the fused state.
