Looking For Something?

[Guest guest]

I noticed that

in the notion of 'seeking'

one is prone to fall prey

in the trap

of a scarcity conscious perspective...

Perhaps a better way

to express

the lively state of inquiry

(as perpetuated by the wise ones)

without the sense of lack,

might be,

in place of the word 'seeking'

we use the word 'discovering'...?

Maybe that better expresses

(in our native english)

what the Buddha was trying to convey...

(shrug)

After all,

it's just me

asking

(and discovering...)

I wonder

because

once I was told

that in order to discover

I needed to seek first...

But my Master said,

"Seek from a perspective of fullness

and discover *that* spirit,

as 'Emptiness' is full,

...and the folly

is to dream that it is empty..."

Perhaps "being" a finder would be a better way of looking at it rather than seeking /looking.

All paths go

somewhere. No path goes nowhere. Paths, places, sights, perceptions,

and indeed all experiences arise from and exist in and subside back

into the Space of Awareness. Like waves rising are not different than

the ocean, all things arising from Awareness are of the nature of

Awareness. Awareness does not come and go but is always Present. It

is Home. Home is where the Heart Is. Jnanis know the Heart to be the

Finality of Eternal Being. A true devotee relishes in the Truth of

Self-Knowledge, spontaneously arising from within into It Self.
