Many get stuck seeking because living Now is never understood and life becomes about a made up past or future story as the reality of Now is missed…
When it comes to the mind Now is its true nature and the reason I say this is because there is nothing in the mind that is inherently in the past or future. In the Now arises the conditioned nature of the past and future, but there is no substance in the past or future. They exist strictly from the story that’s made up; there’s no inherent existence. There’s the body that always exist Now with all it’s labeled components, but if each component was unlabeled, the body would still exist, just not as an “I” form. Look deep within to see if you can truly find where “I” is. Everything that makes up our “I” ideas, concepts, memories, feelings, emotions, judgement, likes, dislikes, opinions, experiences, and so on are attached to as the body, hair, limbs, ideas, and so on, but if you look for “I” behind all of this it’s doesn’t inherently exist outside of Now. This is what stillness is truly all about, stripping away the past and future false identification. We identify with all the wrong things and ignore the reality of Now.
The only reason to look within is to expose the lie of a past or future existence; there’s no other reason. A reason can be made up, but this is why many remain stuck seeking because the reality of Now is never understood. Life becomes about whatever story is made up, but the reality of what’s here Now is missed. This is what the past and future are, a story nothing more. It seems real, but the realness of it can never be grasped. It just one story after another. Truly investigate this to see if you can find the reality of the story. Remember though not the story of the past or future, but the reality of Now…
The more we grasp for answers outside ourselves the more in the grasp of fear we are. When we look outside, its only because we are fearful of what we might find inside.
