Welcome!

You Have Always Acted From Your Essence

I wanted to say a bit about the effect an awareness of headlessness has on an individual. I was worried that my personality would change, that I would turn into a blob with no will, or I might lose capacity for joy and pleasure. I quizzed Douglas Harding about this at the time and his reply was that awareness of one's headlessness doesn't make any difference. This is the way it is, one has always been headless, one has always acted from one's essence. But it makes a huge difference in that one KNOWS one's true nature. Not a lot of help but this is the nature of this whole thing - it is a paradox! My personality probably has changed over the years. I am perhaps calmer, appear more confident, more empathic etc. but nothing very drastic as far as I can tell. S.
