Abandonment

An abandoned state is one free of the stifling reassurances of ego. Think about it. Every action we make from the most trivial twitch to the most sweeping life change is absolutely loaded with expectation. And not just the expectation of habit or of planning but the expectation of suffering. Suffering is disconnexion, and disconnexion needs to be maintained because there are natural processes of connexion in play all the time bringing us together. When we abandon our suffering, our ego, our tendency to disconnect, then connexion is assured. But nothing else is.
