The dynamic occurred for me as you describe it, only I wouldn't call
it a decision by me, more of a complete exhaustion, and surrender,
that I ever knew what I was doing in the first place, that all the
stress and strain of trying was gone, that all and any attempts to
align myself with anything at all, be it a belief, or a way of doing
things, or a description of enlightenment, all vanished in less than
an hour, washed away by a blissful torrent of tears, and here I am,
ever since, completely empty. Just me.:-)
