My experience has been when I experience stillness nothing happens, I feel my inner body but do not feel anything else other than that, even after I dropped all expectations.
What usually arises is the expectation for something to arise from the depths of being but nothing happens.
I think what's not happening is your expectations of something happening. If you're looking for some
cosmic consciousness event you may disappointment and creaping skepticism.
The truth is, something is always happening. What ever it is, accept that. Expectations are ego traps. If you have expectations, find the space around them, and experience them fully as what they are. I find expectations to be enticements of mind to make one feel special, and special is separate from that which is not special.
How would it be if you became enlightened, Tolle level enlightened, Bhudda level enligntened, and no one ever listened to a word you said? If you are not okay with that, maybe there's yet some greater understanding to be gained.
Could it be that the POW is another very influent mind concept?
Are all of us in this forum destine to be spiritual teachers?
Power of Now is a concept. All statements and ideas are concepts. The Tao Te Ching states from the beginging that any Tao that can be written is not the true Tao. The message of course is that
Genuine Truth is known in direct awareness, not discriptions and pointers to that awareness.
As to all of us becoming teachers, who knows? The future is only an imagination in any case. What is real is ones presence in this moment. The quality and depth of that presence effects all that is contained within that moment. Become ever clearer within the present moment and that clarity radiates throughout. Light one candle in the darkness and the darkness is changed.
