Here's one more just to continue the conversation. In terms of "feeling" more alive, I might ask why it even matters. For many people I have worked with, their "standard of measurement" for how they are doing in life has to do with how they feel. Much like thoughts, of which we have a seemingly infinite number of every day, feelings come and go. We make some of them very important - in this case feeling "alive" - while we let others pass virtually unnoticed. I might suggest a different relationship to feelings overall, and exploring cultivating a different standard/criteria for assessing if life is going well for you.

To add to the conversation - I reckon we like desiring more than we like getting the object of desire, in part because desiring gives us a sense of identity, not to mention purpose. The feeling of desiring is what we consider to be our 'self'. So when we get what we desired, desire is gone and we're left without a goal, or purpose towards which we are directing our life-force, consciousness etc. And if we take to the state of feeling desire as our 'self', then when desire leaves, it's like we don't know who we are. For some (maybe most people, I don't know), not knowing who you are is discombobulating, hence a new cycle of desire is born to recreate the conditions in which the 'self' can feel like it exists. nice points made, and I appreciate your responses Bryan where you point out that paradoxical ‘stuff’ can happen simultaneously.

Really rings true for me. Seems like the mind is designed to seek and therefore the seeking goes on and on and on... The art of being fully alive and present in the moment is no small task. Can sound so simple. "Be here now." And yet to do this moment to moment to moment, takes a deep dropping in and quieting of the monkey mind that I am still refining. Thanks for the reminder.xo Great response!! Really rings true for me.
