it's not enough

we’re constantly looking for that ‘something more’ in things; in our relationships, in our jobs, in possessions, in our state of physical shape, in our philosophies about life.

we're right in one thing: there’s something we’re overlooking, something we’re not quite getting right. everybody has this sense in life, but where we make the mistake is in looking for that something more that keeps on eluding us in things.

our relationships change, we get tired of our jobs, a car in the end is just a car, our philosophies – no matter how elevated and intelligent – don’t end up solving anything in our day to day experience.

none of these things will ever be enough. only in enoughness itself will we find the fulfillment we seek, and it is already present as the simplest aspect or our nature. if you’re looking for it, you’ve already missed the point.

there's no solution

we spend so much time, so much energy looking and looking and looking for the solution in the mind. our frantic search will continue as long as we look in the mind for a solution.

when it comes to truth there is in fact no solution, because solutions can only exist in the mind. where there is no problem, there is no solution. problems can only exist in the mind.

peace is besides the mind, something completely outside of it. peace isn't broken and in need of fixing - it's alywas there, no matter how strongly we choose to focus on what's going on inside the mind.

step into the mind-realm and you're in the arena of problems and solutions. that's fine, it's how our world operates. it's useful for a lot of things.

but to experience peace, truth, being, we have to stop keeping our attention fixed on the mind, raise our vision and see what's beyond its walls, what's all around it. it's so obvious!
