I absolutely love this. I posted a note recently about how when I’m dis regulated I know because I start searching for answers outside of myself. There is only so much searching you can do, it’s the stillness that gives the answers

It's amazing that you couldn't retain the spiritual lessons you'd read about- I had a similar experience. I agree wisdom and connection is in life, away from the books. I think reading - whether fiction or instructive texts - is it's own pleasure. Sometimes you'll get insight, but sometimes you'll be pulled into a whole other world away from the truth of your heart. Not a bad thing, but it needs to be balanced with presence

Beautifully said. I’m not sure about your experience, but when I was going through the period of time where I couldn’t retain anything I thought I was losing it! I’d put a podcast in, couldn’t listen. Pick up a book, nothing stayed. I sense that many go through this.

That sounds so scary! Mine was that whatever latest truth I'd become enamoured with would steamroll over the last - even though I'd been just as taken with that idea. I was taking too much in and not pausing and listening enough
