Leave your nets and follow me
Mr. Jesus
The net is our investment of being a particular person.
“me” is attention, relaxing back into its Source – Awareness.
All words as concessions.

I’ve been thinking about another metaphor from Jesus: It’s as hard for a wealthy person to get to heaven as for a camel to go through a needle’s eye.
But it can be a metaphor for getting to the true self. You must let go of everything: Your concepts, opinions, stories, and your body. Otherwise, you can’t squeeze through.
“It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter the kingdom of God.”
The rich man is the opinionated man,
the result of the sense of separation, of personal doership.
The needle’s eye as an opening in the wall, where you had to unpack your camel in order to enter the city (the spiritual center).
The kingdom of God as our natural, normal, effortless being here and now.
Both, the rich man and the burdened/loaded camel is you?
At the core of suffering is the sense of personal doership.
One day we might see that we are being lived by Life itself.
