There's a great tension between the inner and outer purposes, which seem to capture many in the modern world (me included). An intellectualised desire to express what one 'thinks' is the full expression of one's inner purpose. This year has been an immense effort of chipping away at this immense thread of attachment and severing this tension to bring a great stillness and peace.
Paradoxically, the more I am at rest and in my 'being', my outer manifestations, whether physical or conceptual, have 'felt' as pure and aligned as they ever have.
I absolutely agree. The drive to know has often led me to stark lands. Dropping the resistance feels like the antithesis of what I should do but it works like magic every time.
