So long as we have emotional reactions and we believe in those emotional reactions, we know that we have attachments at work. That is causing us to suffer.

How do you go further?

As Alessandra said, someone else–something more intelligent–is sailing the ship now. The wise thing is to go deeper in inner work and surrender more of the ego that is still seeking. You haven't gone far enough that's why you can still be upset and scared and seeking motivation and other things.

This is a question that I might be asking myself right now. As a 'creative and motivated person' I was driven by desires. Now that person is simply no more, and I'm struggling to get it back somehow, mainly by changing one creative goal with another one. It doesn't work and it's not nice. Recently there is a kind of invisible force that seems to be driving me, I'm following it though I don't know why, it just feels right. I have absolutely no idea of what's going on, where I'm going, what I'm becoming, if anything at all. Kind of scary. It feels empty and absolutely full at the same time. I can breathe more easily and deeper when I let it go, I stop questioning it and leave Life to be the captain of the ship. This ship doesn't feel to be mine anymore. I hope this may be helpful somehow. With love, Alessandra

I'm still struggling with the concept of freedom of individuality. Where do you gain motivation from? What about creativity? This is ideally very personal and tied to identity. What does creative and spiritual life look like?
