Don't seek the truth

As the Japanese Zen masters say, “Don't seek the truth; just drop your opinions”. Drop your theories; don't seek the truth.

Brain fart? Universal problem?
![image.png](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmdhzt4vGttyiWALFevdeqxepzzf7jhxvgc8wE92T48dtW/image.png)



***Consider this headline:***

*‘No evil’* Putin will not commit to hold on to power, Zelenskiy says

What does it seem to mean? Did it take you a while?

I read it as if it had this structure:

‘Ugly’ Putin will not commit to hold on to power, Zelenskiy says

That is, it seemed to begin with an adjective. Even knowing what it means, I have a hard time reading it properly, because quotes like that often surround a nickname adjective.

If it has said  

‘No evil Putin will not commit’ to hold on to power, Zelenskiy says

I would have no problem reading it. 

Alas, apparently that entire thing wouldn’t be an accurate quotation

Become the waves...
![image.png](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmVY5iwezuuyuYd9889j4vYgxD6si7ZBfJiVNveh5ibyiF/image.png)

It isn't by getting out of the world that we become enlightened, but by getting into the world…by getting so tuned in that we can ride the waves of our existence and never get tossed because we become the waves.

Present moment.
![image.png](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQme2kNkhhuRiP322gskLfaRaJ5ao1NjP8Ay69J2ob9JMs6/image.png)

The present moment, the now not what is happening. People believe that the present moment is what happens and since what happens is always changing, people believe that there are many present moments. If you look deeper, of course you don't. There is only the space of this moment. There is what happens and the space in which it happens. That space is consciousness instead of identifying with what is happening in the now, you become aware of the now itself, beyond what is happening in it. What does it mean to become aware of the now itself? You become aware of an underlying field of silence, of serenity, in which everything happens. You feel it, you don't just feel it. You realize that you are that.

The seat of Realisation...
![IMG_20240311_015237_229.jpg](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmeZXbpLAT6mo7dgygTwxvV75sFiKVP2UuSkChgpKKSRJZ/IMG_20240311_015237_229.jpg)

The seat of Realisation is within and the seeker cannot find it as an object outside him. That seat is bliss and is the core of all beings. Hence it is called the Heart. The only useful purpose of the present birth is to turn within and realise it.

Whenever you are upset...
![IMG_20240311_015204_414.jpg](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmWzcNkf8vGJaLhHbPRpdg6g1nZdXqzUWsuiqxkGKdFKgv/IMG_20240311_015204_414.jpg)

Whenever you are upset about an event, a person, or a situation, the real cause is not the event, person, or situation but a loss of true perspective that only space can provide. You are trapped in object consciousness, unaware of the timeless inner space of consciousness itself. The words This, too, will pass when used as a pointer can restore awareness of that dimension to you.
Another pointer to the truth in you is contained in he following statement: “I am never upset for the reason I think.”

## <center> Transformation is my favorite game and in my experience, anger and frustration are the result of you not being authentic somewhere in your life or with someone in your life. Being fake about anything creates a block inside of you. Life can’t work for you if you don’t show up as you. </center>

<p>The Earth abundantly provides for everyone; all we need to do is treat Mother Nature and Planet Earth with care. Demonstrating love and tending to her with care will result in abundant provision of all our needs. Conversely, if we disrespect her and neglect her well-being, she will respond unfavorably.

## <center> I keep thinking about this river somewhere, with the water moving really fast. And these two people in the water, trying to hold onto each other, holding on as hard as they can, but in the end it’s just too much. The current’s too strong. They’ve got to let go, drift apart. </center>

Happiness
![IMG_20240304_194658_239.jpg](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmUeGcHmXTY5sMJDnbvxnKD4mj4TYVCUy53dfNSmmr99Vk/IMG_20240304_194658_239.jpg)

Happiness is the absence of resistance to what is.
It is the highest spiritual practice.
However, it is not a practice of the mind;
it is the ever-present nature of Myself, Awareness.

## <center> Amor"So many days, oh so many daysseeing you so tangible and so close,how do I pay, with what do I pay?The bloodthirsty springhas awakened in the woods.The foxes start from their earths,the serpents drink the dew,and I go with you in the leavesbetween the pines and the silence,asking myself how and whenI will have to pay for my luck.Of everything I have seen,it's you I want to go on seeing:of everything I've touched,it's your flesh I want to go on touching.I love your orange laughter.I am moved by the sight of you sleeping.What am I to do, love, loved one?I don't know how others loveor how people loved in the past.I live, watching you, loving you.Being in love is my nature.You please me more each afternoon.Where is she? I keep on askingif your eyes disappear.How long she's taking! I think, and I'm hurt.I feel poor, foolish and sad,and you arrive and you are lightningglancing off the peach trees.That's why I love you and yet not why.There are so many reasons, and yet so few,for love has to be so,involving and general,particular and terrifying,joyful and grieving,flowering like the stars,and measureless as a kiss.That's why I love you and yet not why.There are so many reasons, and yet so few,for love has to be so,involving and general,particular and terrifying,joyful and grieving,flowering like the stars,and measureless as a kiss. </center>
