What we truly want is what we experience in our lives. When we realize that this world and its experiences will never truly satisfy us, we are then ready to rediscover the truth that we are. We will begin to experience peace, love, joy and happiness when we desire truth more than anything else.
We live and actively participate in a grand and illusory drama. The only way out is to become still and allow our wild egoic-mind to come to a stop. Then the peaceful and joyous center, that’s already there, makes itself known. That’s who we are. When that original self becomes dominant in our lives we’re ready to spread and share that loving-joy with those around us. That’s the only way to change our own world and the planet.
The body, the ego or who we think we are doesn’t awaken. What we are is the light within. This light eventually envelopes its body-ego under certain conditions. And that is an awakening, the larger subsumes the smaller, the part that thought it was on its own collapses into its parent.
Oft repeated but seldom fully understood, Reality (truth) can only be found in the experience of the present. And while we experience the present we disappear, there are no thoughts either. There’s just the experience of what’s going on. To experience the present in this fashion is the only way to experience it.
The only path that matters is this one. Where we find ourselves, today, is the result of all that has happened to us. And it could not have been any other way. We must come to terms with what has happened and what’s currently happening. There’s only one path, this one.
The truth is here and now. It’s within us and is us. We can’t put our finger on it because we can’t point to our own essence. We’re a dynamic and an ongoing creation of God. Our beingness and the active experience of living is a big clue to who we are, it’s also the experience of truth. The truth starts to become more evident to us when we seek it, within us.
There isn’t enough only when we compare to something else or impose a limit on ourselves. We often run around chasing time, as though we just don’t have enough of it. That too is a state of mind. If we think we don’t have enough time or worse, if we think we’re not enough, then we’ll forever be chasing that elusive ‘thing’ or ‘perfect person’. We have enough when we just recognize that we do. We are enough when we decide that it so and refuse to compare to anyone else or to another time, past or future.
