Seeking is the movement of separation

We become separate and take on the thought “I am a separate person” from a very early age and at that moment of separation, seeking starts. We seek for that which we think we’ve lost. So we grow up in a world where we’re taught to endeavor and make our lives work. Seeking enlightenment is another way of being successful and we usually go to a teacher that teaches us that there’s still an individual with choice. Most teachings are like that. Liberation can happen, which is the realization that the seeker who wants to own that is also Oneness. In liberation there is no longer a sense of being a separate individual. Liberation is the complete end of the sense of separation. But there’s still a bodymind organism that has conditioned memories, and has responses and preferences. That’s aliveness. That goes on.
