Jake's Summary

This week I tried to let go of my goals and ambitions. At first, it was very uncomfortable. It brought me a feeling of emptiness. What can I do if I have nowhere to go? After the first impression of emptiness, I glimpsed at completeness. Without needs and goals, there is no misery, because each need makes me less complete.

All goals and needs are not necessary easy to let go of. Especially needs such as happiness, awareness and understanding. But, they too are goals. So the paradox is 'How can we go on if we have no goals?'. My best guess for now is that goals are not the 'Will'. That Will (or 'Drive') exists without the goals.

The WH tells us that to strip ourselves from needs we don't have to do it progressively, we can just drop them, because there is no 'I' having those needs. If I drop my search for happiness and if I am not waiting, happiness might find me. But what happens when I drop the 'I' and 'who' is doing the dropping?
