If we are paying attention, disappointment is one of the best things that can happen to us. Normally, we spend tremendous energy avoiding, dispelling, and overcoming disappointment...only to be revisited by it in some other way. To use disappointment is to welcome an intense humiliation that burns us all the way through to what's true. Disappointment as a feeling is only the surface experience, that's usually as far as people go.
But, to allow yourself to be be fully dis-appointed is to fall from the place that you thought you were, and to discover your true appointment as Nothingness. You are appointed to that which is always your Self, and all self-appointing leads to disappointment. To see this as a gift rather than something to be feared, we begin to see things in their true form. We begin to see that our pain is the doorway in.
To be fully and completely disappointed, without dwelling on the thoughts and emotions of disappointment, is to reveal yourself as you are in wholeness.
