Get A Life

The title of this writing is actually a joke. "Get a life" is a common expression which is taken very seriously (by the story of "me"). How do you achieve something that you already are?? If you rest in this present awareness, and look beyond every concept, belief, and story you will see what I mean. Our true nature, this present awareness, is life itself. Life is living itself through each of us. Trying to "get a life" is like a cat wishing it was a cat. There is nothing to achieve.

The problem is that this awareness, this life goes unnoticed. Most people experience the world through the mind (i.e. the false self.) Experiencing the world through, stories, concepts, and beliefs is not true life and very very limited. Therefore we start seeking for something that we call life, which is just an image created by the false self. We seek and seek and seek through, food , drugs, people, books, religions, etc . . . and can never find it. That is because we are looking everywhere but right here! Right here, right now in this present awareness is everything we have been looking for. There is nothing to get!
