You Don’t Have To Suffer Anymore
Time is Thought
Time is Thought by Dr Amy Johnson
No path, no way, no method, no technique that endures. Everything changes. Only the ever present raw actuality of this moment reveals the empty abundance of open awareness.
This timeless present moment of eternal reality right now reveals everything we need to know about our fantasies of the past and of the future.
We can recognise a great teaching to be true when it points away from itself to the heart of truth within all of us.
Buddhism isn’t about becoming a Buddhist or even Buddhism. It’s about recognising the nature of your own mind, on your own evidence, in your own life, in your own way. In Zen it is said ‘Zen washes away Zen.’ You find your true self, not another belief system.

Thereupon the goal of the seeking is attained,
And the end of the search.
At this point there is
Nothing more to be sought,
And no need to seek anything.
Shifting out of our world of images and stories about ourselves and the world is simple but hard, because there are no images or stories of being without an image or story.
