Great post Elle - you got it, thanks! :-)
"The modalities of awakened doing are acceptance, enjoyment & enthusiasm. Each one represents a certain vibrational frequency of consciousness. You need to be vigilant to make sure that one of them operates whenever you are engaged in doing anything at all - from the most simple task to the most complex."
Thanks so much Elle - this is the answer!! It is about operating in EITHER one of the three modalities. I thought being fully aligned meant being enthused. I love when I am feeling enthusiasm - all tingly and buzzing with joy and anticipation. But I cant keep it going. Looks it is not to be expected to be like this all the time anyways.
Lately I have been doing pretty good, feeling one of the three modalities. I felt there I was doing something "wrong" when I felt content = accepting. I never feel bored.
I notice I go back and forth between those three, spending much time being accepting. Maybe a bit more than I would like though ;-) I LOVE feeling this high you get when feeling enthusiasm.
On the other hand, its when I feel acceptance/content that I feel I am listening to my IB more about what else it desires. Its when I feel myself shooting new rockets of desire. You dont have to fall all the way donw on the EGS to find contrast to do so. If I dont like something, I can still stay accepting, content and think about what I rather want.
I think I mistook this feeling of acceptance for feeling "blah" and not in alignment.
