Thank you.
It came as a shock when I saw that a seeker is not a finder.
The double edged sword of language. Developed our survival chances but at a price.
Thankyou
There is no what should be and What should not be in a desireless state.
Wanting desirelessness is a desire.
Hi Steve, I have been very busy with acceptance for a long time and I'm starting to figure it out but the biggest irony is that I couldn't find acceptance because I was seeking acceptance. The harder I tried and the further away it was which made me mad and wanted to try even harder. It was always "ok, I am going to accept this so that this other thing disappears" or "I want this resistance to go away so I will accept this thing". And obviously there is a problem with that approach because it's really avoidance. So I've done some research and I've come up with a few ways to accept things and one that works for me is to pin-point the source of resistance and then I repeat "I let it be" as many times as necessary... Or I repeat outloud the undeniable fact I am resisting. If my intent is pure, it works. Anyways I'm glad to find a like-minded person, not many people think about this stuff which is actually the whole point of life in my opinion.
But if I were to ask something specific, it would be about awareness. I know it's talked about a lot but I don't see how awareness gets me closer to acceptance. What I do is that I observe the content of my thoughts, which usually relate to reality ("this room is untidy") and try to spend time with it instead of trying to do anything about it. To spend time with reality. But when I practice awareness through the senses, it feels like I am fleeing an experience -> "I ll be aware so I stop feeling this way"... We sure didn't get a manual at birth...!
Thank you! 🙏
I think when we are seeking, we are trying to find awareness through conceptualization, and the mere act of thinking takes us away from that. It's only after you understand that what you are seeking can't be set into words and you give up the idea of understanding through concepts what you already know within, that you allow yourself to be conscious.
Stop deluding yourself by thinking there's anymore you need to know. You have everything you need already. You have been there before. You are at it now, but you need to allow yourself to see it. Wake up.
Thank you so much!
Good stuff Steve. Found your channel the other day. Clarifying a lot for me.
Beautiful and Beautiful
Timeless and boundless SeekING (verb) is ALL there is, but at no point does a 'SeekER' come into BeING (verb)
- Re-cog-nis-ing this ever-present living fact in the absence of any abstracted and lifeless belief is simply revealing freedom, without any attainment - a simple clear seeing that demands the absence of convoluted 'objective knowledge' (memory-imagination) without the cherishing of an unqualified 'objective interpretation' or inference - that has no real independent existence of its own outside the truth of indivisible BeING (the truth of indivisible SeekING)
- only once did 'I' see from a 'place' that was sane, that nothing 'becomes' nor ever 'became', but a boundless BecomING exalted of name, where no love was 'lost' in a timeless refrain..
You seem to know what you’re saying but your trying to sound profound rather then getting ti the point. I bet you’re selling something
I’ll try not to sound profound.
@@steveford4249 no offense meant. I have no business looking outwards at this time in my life. Awakening is brutal. I don’t know how much you know about that. Do you? Maybe I’m just looking for someone to practice my swordsmanship on and you are an easy target. The spiritual marketplace is a sham and you appear to epitomize it in my eyes. I’m in a death match with ego and seeing people promoting niceness pisses me off. Spirituality is destruction .
Please read my book walking awake, and if you feel it promotes nicenss ill give you your money back.
@@steveford4249 I'll read it for sure. Thanks. I'll let you know when I do.
