Reality ALWAYS trumps Expectations.
Carefully keep your awareness on what's happening around and inside you, retaining freedom from over-involvement in what you'd like to experience.
Reality doesn't intend for YOU to get what you want, and don't hope for anything particular. Reality LOVES everything. EVERYTHING! You can see this in Jesus' statement about 'Loving your enemies' (which from a normal person's perspective is completely absurd, even dangerous!)-
Mt. 4.43 "You have heard that it was said, 'Love your neighbor and hate your enemy.'
44 But I tell you: Love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you,
45 that you may be sons of your Father in heaven. He causes his sun to rise on the evil and the good, and sends rain on the righteous and the unrighteous.
46 If you love those who love you, what reward will you get? Are not even the tax collectors doing that?
47 And if you greet only your brothers, what are you doing more than others? Do not even pagans do that?
Matthew
