Today I have been painting a huge set of iron gates to the entrance to the flats I'm working on:) It suddenly came to me I was thinking of nothing, I felt such peace & calmness:) Could this be the 'oneness' that was mentioned before on this forum?.........

Nah your mind was probably occupied with getting the painting right.
Welcome to the world of wages mate
£180 quid in your pocket for a change
You'll be the life and soul of the party on Friday night at the pub,
It will all be gone by Monday
Enjoy it
You earned it.

yes, that is the oneness.
because you allowed yourself to totally accept that which was at that moment, thoughts stopped.
you forgot the story about you and the world.
there was no more you and no more world,
there was only the whole... that's why it's called "non-duality" or oneness.
i'm happy you found a job you are happy with.
i haven't found a job i like yet, but perhaps i'll give painting a try one day.
i also want a job where i don't have to think. this way i can continue living the now,
and working becomes fun :)
working only sucks, when the work sucks.
when the work is fun, working is fun.
