The problem is " seeking " which implies there is something to be found.

There is nothing to be found, nothing to seek, realizing this is the end of

seeking.

Are you " coming " to know that? It has already arrrived, it has never left.

You can't find it, it was never lost. Wake up then.

You are IT, I am IT, They are IT. Right now, the only place that IS, that

exists, in this endless present.

Call it love, call it peace, call it wonderful, or just live your ordinary

life. Anyway you do it is O.K. Experience the freedom that is yours in

understanding this. And even if you never understand it, you are still IT.

We can notice that, for a dream character, waking up can be problematic. The

dreamer, however, has his own dream to help show him how. The dream is not a

pointless endeavor in that regard, it simply isn't the methodical search

that mind would like it to be.

 

The question was never whether or not Reality needs to be found, but rather

what is required to bring about the willingness to notice that we are That.

The irony is that, in spite of what we say, we prefer not to notice it. It's a

matter of willful denial. Asking the truth questions as to why this denial

continues can be very revealing.
