There is a momentum of suffering and confusion
that every spiritual seeker encounters. It is the momentum of ignorance which
manifests as the experience of conflict and confusion and which causes
suffering. In order to discover the perspective of Liberation, which alone
transcends this entire movement of ignorance and suffering, one needs to let
everything end. To let everything end means to stand in the moment completely
naked of attachment to any and all ideas, concepts, hopes, preferences, and
experiences. Simply put, it means to stop strategizing, controlling,
manipulating, and running away from yourself -and to simply be. Finally you
must let everything end and be still. In letting everything end, all seeking
and striving stops. All effort to be someone or to find some extraordinary
state of being ceases.
By ceasing to follow the mind's tendency to always
want 'more', 'different', or 'better', one encounters the opportunity to be
still. In being still, a perspective is revealed which is free from all
ignorance and bondage to suffering. From that perspective, eternal Self is
realized. The eternal Self, the Seer, is recognized to be one's true nature,
one's very own Self. This is an invitation to let all seeking end, all striving
end, all efforting end, all past identity end, all hopes end, and to discover that which has no beginning or end. This is an invitation to discover eternal,
unborn, undying truth of being. The truth of your being, your own Self. Let the
entire movement of becoming end, and discover that which has always been
present at the core of your being.
