can't get what you can’t not have

if you’re seeking final truth it’s critical to accept that what you have now – or more accurately, what you are – is exactly what you’re searching for.

the you you think you are is a fabrication, and what you truly are is what the you you think you are thinks it’s seeking. no matter what the invented you does, it remains a fabrication; and what you truly are remains immutably true. as you can see, ego seeking truth is as unresolvable a situation as a dog chasing its own tail.

illusion, no matter what its configuration, doesn’t yield reality. could anything you do in a dream make it become real? or change the fact that you’re actually snoring away in bed? illusion can neither add up to nor subtract from the truth; it can only act as a distraction.

adding to and modifying your dream character will only result in… additions and modifications to your dream character. a legitimate activity in and of itself, but it won’t produce enlightenment.

so how do you realize truth? by ceasing to chase its conceptual mirage through the dreamscape and allowing it to sink in of its own accord through non-identification with everything you aren’t – which, until the spark of unmistakable recognition sets flame to the bonds of illusion, includes everything you think you are.
