It is the absolute that becomes aware of itself inside you

You are already That! All you need do is STOP, turn around, and recede back. In this stopping, the self can recognize itself. It can awaken to itself. No seeker can ever become enlightened. No one can ever wake up. In the simple moment of recognition, it is the absolute that becomes aware of itself inside you.

We hope and wish and try to find an enlightened version of “me', but we can never find one. And because we don’t find, the seeker starts to seek again, and there is more doing, more efforting, and more practices. Maybe there are different practices that we hope will work better, and sometimes there can be mind-blowing experiences, but they won’t last until the no-thing wakes up to itself. When this occurs, you will think, “How could I have missed this?”

We miss it because, even after we become spiritual seekers, our mind is always looking somewhere else, outside of ourselves, continuing to believe, “I don’t know who I am, and I must find out!” This goes on until someone tells you, “You are right here. You are already YOU!"
