What You Are Looking For

Lo que estás buscando

A gentle exploration of the awareness already present in this moment, inviting you to notice that what you are looking for is right here.

What You Are Looking For

We are it.
It is our being.
It is not an it.
It is not a that.
It cannot be named because it is what knows names.
It cannot be seen because it is what sees.

You cannot be found in sensations or the body
because it is the source of sensing and embodiment.

It appears to have multiple forms,
but it is one field,
one substance,
but it is not a substance.
It is the emptiness from where substances are made.

Not mystical, but current experience

I'm not describing anything mystical or magical.
I am describing now our current experience.

No thinking is needed to know this,
and no thought can obstruct the knowing of this.
No particular feeling or emotional experience is needed to know this,
and no feeling or emotion can obscure this.

This nature is peace.
Empty, open receptor.

What if this is what you are looking for?
I would say it is.

Every single aspect

What is happening right now,
every single aspect of the current experience,
including all sense of resistance or struggle and frustration,
any sense of lack.
All of it.
This is it, exactly as it is.

The play of contraction

We can pull away from the undeniable reality of this beingness
and contract.
And that contraction, that pulling away,
is still permeated by beingness,
fully submerged in beingness.

It is timeless.
It is everywhere.
It is everything.

The play of contraction, resistance, and denial
is just the play within beingness.

Beingness is free to play the game of contraction,
free from the need of becoming or resolving or releasing.
Already free.
Already at peace.

What the body needs

The body needs water.
Beingness does not.
The body needs food.
Beingness does not.
Humanity needs growth, evolution.
Beingness does not.

In recognizing beingness, the body drinks when thirsty.
In recognizing beingness, the body eats when food is needed.
And recognizing beingness, universal creativity
flows through into evolution, wisdom, love.

No location, no center

Beingness has no location,
no center,
no agent,
no doer,
no self.

It is all doing and non-doing.
It is all being and non-being.
It is all selves,
all creativity,
all destruction.

It is this,
and this,
and this.
Always this, exactly as it is.

Any sense that this is not it
is an imagination created within it.
"This is not it?" is part of what this is.
