From the article:

“...paradoxically, the cure seems to arise in the willingness to be completely incurable.”

From Nisargadatta:

"...there is no remedy -- except one -- the search for remedies must cease... If you could only keep quiet, clear of memories and expectations, you would be able to discern the beautiful pattern of events. It is your restlessness that causes chaos." - I Am That, Chapter 53

Thank you Joan, for yet another very valuable reflection. Interesting that you end with a quote by Pir Elias Amidon. A dear friend of mine who lives in Lugano, Switzerland, has received from Elias permission to lead a yearlong program called "The Open Path" based on Elias's book by the same name (https://camminoaperto.tumblr.com/). Three years ago I participated in the first edition. It was a deep immersion in love, compassion, and beauty. "Free medicine for the soul" is another very good read by the same author. Like you say, we can reach out to all that helps us on the way home.
