Discussion of spiritual practices: awakening, meditation, and the freedom that cannot be lost or found. All perspectives are welcome; advaita, christian, buddhist, islam or even no perspective at all. Just pointing to that which is nearest and dearest.

everything points to truth

Have you noticed that everything that arises in Awareness is transient? Thoughts don't last, emotions come and go, our field of view and body sensations are always in flux. One day there is happiness and the next sadness, bliss, anger or whatever.

Are you seeking truth in things or thoughts? You will never find truth in anything objective because everything that is thought, felt, or experienced is temporary ... the Truth is beyond all that and is unchanging.

You are Awareness. The One who only notices, never judges, never condemns, and never changes. Awareness is not a thing, an idea, a noble being, nor can it be lost or do anything. It is what all appearances point to.

Everything that arises points to Awareness as "every thing" arises out of Awareness, abides for a moment in Awareness, and falls back into Awareness. Just stop seeking for truth in things; then things will lose their hold on you; and You will remain as you have always been: whole, eternal, and free.

    bob,

    thanks so much for always offering this clear and simple message...and always for free no less! i've been coming to your meditation group now for over 3 years, and i'm still amazed by the freshness and immediacy of what this message points to. it never gets 'old', even though you've been saying the same thing for many years now! lol

    it's a very simple and yet transformative message. i'm sure countless people have been deeply changed by just showing up to your meditation group over the years. i know i have, and just wanted to recognize that.

    i wrote a little blog post myself about this topic of how everything points to truth. feel free to check it out here: http://idol-c.blogspot.com/2010/04/reading-blogpost.html

    thanks again,
    chris
