Search no more

Consider how it feels to stop searching. Notice what is happening as you stop striving to discover or prove yourself.  The mind may convince you this is self-defeating, that you are running away, but from what?

Slowly, something inside reminds you things unfold and come at you from all sides. There is nowhere to go.  Another option exists- to stop observing extremes.  The watcher evaluates experience.  As you feel the watcher disappear, urges to do or be things falls away.  Life transforms itself. Awareness simply is.

Interesting, when as a watcher, or a witness, I don't have the urge to DO anything, but at the same time, I then do not have the urge to BECOME anything either. Therefore, if the witness, too dissolves, then we become One with our surroundings and then experience what Nature and the environment have to offer at any given Moment. The watcher or the witness, though, can be a vital tool to detach from strong habitual tendencies. But I love how you describe forgiving the concept of the witness, leaving us with the Now and no expectations. Synchronicities too then collapse into this Moment. One then blows with the wind and always lands in the perfect place, becomes married to God, is a Free Spirit, or leaves form altogether. The seeker or the searcher no longer has anything to find. They then embody infinity and the spaces between points of experience.

To run Away: If one runs away from something in the perceived exterior world, they then get chased within till they are cornered and have to face a stuck expression of their personality. Re-integrate the schizophrenic nature of humanity by seeing beyond the faces, and wholeness bridges and un-bridges the points along the curve to infinity. Everything is then connected, yet individualized and unique.

what I like feeling lately is kinda like a feeling of not expecting anything, I like feeling this way because then everything that comes/unfolds feels like it is a present :) or maybe a pre-sent :) and now I think :) of a pre-sent and a pre-sent as something that has always been there

Very well stated. Wise and true words.

In the beginning there is the dualism of the observer and the observed. With experience and practice, this turns into the unity of awareness, and practice goes away.

Great pointer, and very clear. Thanks!

Transformational non-resistance unfolds.

Judging extremes is futile. Going with the flow of the minute opens the heart to the incredible creativity within. See the deep thoughts you get me to? :)

Bernie, another perspective is one is already God. Stop the search. Be all that is.

tumel, every moment awareness grows, one opens senses that are dormant or forgotten.

Mark, remembering how to simply be boggles the mind and releases the soul to float to infinity.

Kaushik, the ego-mind suggests practice makes perfect. Soul already knows yet has no ego.

Jannie, every experience is meaningful. Unbeknownst to the mind, you move beyond thought.

Hilary, one view is reality unfolds regardless of what you think you do or not do.
