If we persist in looking to get or obtain something, anything from ourselves, others and the world then we miss that everything that happens is an invitation to receive and accept all things rather than an opportunity to gain only what we prefer.

What stories are we going to believe and invest in about ourselves and the world today? What forms and patterns will we think are real and permanent?
What ephemera will we mistake for essential? What will we hang onto for dear life without recognising there’s nothing there?

Thoughts, ideas, theories, concepts, and stories are all for nought without the rigorous practice of bare attention to this moment.

What is fear of death but a complicated tangle of images and stories about everything except the present moment of actual aliveness.

Dissolving or seeing through the fabricated ego self automatically frees us from craving and addiction as there is no one to do any wanting. The conditioned question ‘what do I want?’ evaporates leaving only the inquiry ‘what is here now?’

Allow everything without holding onto anything.

Egos meet and remain separate but open, aware minds share presence.

As Beckett was exquisitely aware, all language fails attempting to capture the formless absolute.

Enlightenment, awakening, recognition, realisation, whatever, is not an answer, has no answers because it precedes all questions making the very notion of question/ answer redundant.
