SEEKING AND FINDING

It has been said --
"Seek and ye shall find."
Very true,
And not the whole truth.

It is also true that
"Seek and ye shall get the experience of seeking;
Find and ye shall get the experience of finding."

Sometimes, our seeking gets in the way of actually finding.

Here's another truth --

What you're looking for is right in front of your nose."

Questioners often keep swatting answers aside

Because they don't look like what they're looking for.

They never ask "What has this to do with what I'm looking for?"

Coming from an assumption that there is a connection.

And there is..... always,
Otherwise what you see in front of you
Would not be there.

When seeking has not satisfied,

How do we Find?

Ask a question,

And open all your senses,

Not for The Answer,

But for all answers.

Reject nothing,

No matter how contradictory some experiences may seem.

Logic and Reason say "It is either this OR that."

The whole of life says "It is both this AND that",

Including the valid existence of both Logic and Intuition.

Seek, in order TO find

The "more" that always lies just beyond the horizon

Of what you think you know just now.

I say to you --

You already know a lot more than you think you do,

And the rest is available to you.

All you have to do is ask

And stand committed to the question.
