No amount of philosophical depth or profundity or looking for deep and wonderful meanings to life is going to change your moment by moment obstruction of your heart.

You believing that you are getting more "onto it;" that you are "just about there;" that you have arrived at the big "nothing" or the great void; is not relieving you from being lost in your attempt in trying to be who you think you are from one moment to the next. Who you already are already is, right now. Not some "now" that will come along later. But now. This now, right now. The timeless now of eternity.

Unless you align and refocus your conscious attention to the finding of who you already are - right now - you will continue on misidentifying the "you" of you and carry on perpetuating and believing yourself to be who you think you are. The mind must be transcended from the prison of its current situation to where this mind is fluid and fluent in and as the greater mind that is informed by greater clarity of the divine one.

This transcendence comes about by you realizing and being the "you" that you already and truly are. Otherwise you will continue to be distracted by this restless, judging and chattering mind and be lost in its meanderings; keeping the mind from being transcended into its greater fluidity; never coming to realize the immediacy of the being of the "you" of you, in this very "now," right now.

This restless mind - that informs this mindbody that you keep on trying to be and keep on believing yourself to be - will not bring you to the peace and stillness of the beingness of "you" - who you are; the heart incarnate. Unless you transcend this mind by realizing this "you" that already is and flowing through this mindbody that you find yourself so intimately involved with, you are going to remain imprisoned by your own creation - the attempt to be who you think you are which has you not seeing and being this "you" that already is.

This you can "do" - the "doing" being an act of no longer doing what you are currently trying to do - because this "you" of you already is. Who you are is this "motion of seeing" that is flowing through your eyes right now; it is the seer, the one that is looking and peering through.

Stop at and as this "motion of aliveness" that is flowing through your mindbody and you will come to being deeply at rest as "you," immediately freeing up from the illusion of your belief in and your trying to be who you think you are. Immediately and completely.

Every moment that you forget that you are simply this one that is the seer, the heart of "that" which is peering out through the eyes of this mindbody that you cannot escape from, you immediately revert back to who you think you are and its distractions and restlessness. Yes, it is as simple as this. It always was. It always will be.

Unless you have a strong desire to come home to the heart you are not going to surrender, let go of and leave alone your attempt to try and be who you think you are. It is as simple as this, as well. This "you" of you is beyond remembering and forgetting, beyond being and "not being."

However, you are going to have to find this "you" first; then you are going to have to stop at and as this one, your heart. Because you are who you are "you" can be who you are. While you believe yourself to be who you think you are you have not got a "hope in hell" of aligning yourself to your self - the heart of existence itself.
