Seeking

Resistance of the here and now is a subtle form of seeking. It is the false self coming in and judging or labeling this present experience and saying it is not "good" enough. It is a search for another moment that will be better or good enough. The search is kept alive moment by moment. We search and search for the experience that will fulfill the story and make the false self complete. It never happens. No matter how long we search that moment will never arrive. It is a time-bound story that can never be completed because the false self will not allow it. The false self actually can not see that the peace, joy, etc. . . that we have been searching for is right here. It is the timeless awareness that is here right now. It is what is beyond the search, beyond the story, beyond any concept of happiness. It is "THIS." It is what is here before and after any seeking or Resistance even arises. It is the eternal! When Resistance or seeking is noticed--Rest. Rest in this moment, in this present awareness. That is all that is necessary. There is nothing to do, no-where to go, nothing to seek. This is enough. It always has been.
