Expectations, Desired Outcomes, and Disappointment (Nonduality) In this video I answer a question about someone being disappointed with an outcome at work. Expectations = Disappointment. Yet expectations happen...until they don’t, until it is known (deeper than knowing), that our true nature is Consciousness. Life is a mystery, but there can be a tendency to fill it with expectations. We don’t really know what’s going to happen in this great unfolding, pretending otherwise is just that: pretending.
The simple truth is, we don’t know what’s good for us. We don’t really know what events and outcomes are going our way, but one could say EVERYTHING is going our way, there’s no other way it could go! Everything happens because it does. Not for a reason, not by some deeper meaning or purpose, it just happens.
Thoughts arise, “if X happens, it will be great,” or “why shouldn’t that be the case, I/you/we worked so hard!” Leave that to the Creator, God, Consciousness, etc. This doesn’t mean don’t try, it doesn’t mean don’t work harder, or attempt new methods to see if you have different outcomes. Activities such as those will happen or not happen, so it goes in the play of life.
That said, allow any feelings of guilt, shame, disappointment, or otherwise to be. Witness them arising, find the source of their arising, realize they’re all just thoughts, and allow them to be.
