Seeking The Truth of Now Right Now is Different Than Seeking The Truth of Now in the Future10/20/2019
I find it to be so helpful to become aware of the many ways we cover up the direct knowing and sensing of peace now. When we don’t know that Wholeness is already the case we try so hard to find it through something we do – all the while unaware that those very ways we try to find peace are the very ways we are covering up what we are trying to find! So … seeing the ways we cover up the realization of what we are can be extremely helpful in letting those ways go. Three general ways we believe we can get to what we seek is through earning, demanding or withdrawing. Those who try to earn their way try to be good, try to learn or do more, try to figure things out. They believe the answer lies in the goodness or knowledge or activity or success that they accumulate – not in what they actually are. Those who try to demand their way to what they seek try to fix others, learn about ways others aren't measuring up and how they can be helped to do better. They believe the answer lies in what others do or don’t do – not in what they actually are. And those who withdraw believe the way to what they seek is in trying to remain safe from all hurt –physical and psychological. They have either temporarily given up trying to find the answer and want to be left alone or want to find the answer within the safety of being left alone. They believe the answer lies in what they keep away from – not in what they actually are. Seeking is an honest energy. When we don’t know the Truth of Being we are built to seek. But the seeking energy of trying to earn, demand or withdraw our way into the discovery of what we seek is not open to life now. That energy is fixed on the future. To discover what we seek we must be open to Now. Openness to Now is a dropping out of seeking into discovery.

It is all very simple. Instead of seeing things imagined, learn to see them as they are. When you can see everything as it is, you will also see yourself as you are. It is like cleansing a mirror. The same mirror that shows you the world as it is, will also show you your own face."
