Find the Way

This Zen tale is from the annals of Zen.  Take heed, step back from what you believe, and learn to find your way;

A master was asked the question, "What is the way?" by a curious monk.

"It is right before your eyes," said the master.

"Why do I not see it for myself?"

"Because you are thinking of yourself."

"What about you: do you see it?"

"So long as you see double, saying I don't and you do, and so on, your eyes are clouded," said the master.

"When there is neither 'I' nor 'You,' can one see it?"

"When there is neither 'I' or 'You,' who is the one that wants to see it?"

What a wonderful way to start my day. Coming to your blog always reminds me that simply "being" is a joyful gift.

This is so close.

I cannot see the way because I cannot find where I am

Jannie, as you learn what it feels like to be present, you forget about the illusions you had created in an effort to be somewhere else, to feel like someone or something you are not. The revelation triggers indescribable shifts and immeasurable transformation. You reconnect with what is.

[Liara Covert]

henry, the omnipresent part of you always knows where and what you are. As you read about the remote-viewing posts of this blog, you gain insight into this inner-knowing or consciousness you are constantly connected with. It is the you that always is. You selectively forget things in order to awaken to the meaningful process.

Mama Zen, the impact of what resonates deeply defies words.

[Liara Covert]

Kaushik, every story has a message. Every person gets what he is ready to accept at a given moment. The ah-ha moment says it all. What ensues travels through all of you.

[Liara Covert]

Hilary, Zen stories offer timeless wisdom. They remind human beings of the wealth of untapped wisdom within the soul. You connect unconsciously and whenever you have the conscious inclination. Every insight shapes you.

Ah yes, I love these types of stories for the demonstration that when we're truly awakened, we no longer feel the need to question. Inquiry disappears, along with the inquirer.

Blessings!

[Liara Covert]

Meg, as the inquirer within dissolves, then you get far closer to rediscovering the real you. This is a very meaningful journey. Unconditional self-acceptance is always within reach.

[Evita]

Wow how powerful is that?

To really envelop oneself in the oneness with all, the oneness of all, that is a transformational moment indeed.
