Remembrance is one of the great spiritual keys; remembrance of Self, of the Beloved One. It opens doors and invites new insights and new feelings. Part of the natural cycle of remembrance is forgetfulness, indifference, doubt, etc. In other words these are natural reactions by those parts of us that are in fact not so natural.
And what often follows these kinds of reactions is a sense of being dead-ended or of being derailed. Eventually another part of the cycle takes over and we're back on track.Sometime the 'recovery time' can be shortened by the simple awareness that it's a cycle. Then awareness of indifference can even be a form of remembrance.
It is like a seesaw of effort and grace, with the effort part varying whereas the Awakening Grace part is invariably available.
