"When the student is ready, the master appears" -

retorted my closest friend.

I had revealed to him the fact that

old friends, acquaintances and like, and even some strangers online

have started reaching out with

questions, concerns, and queries around changing things in their life.

Though his response was genuine,

I did not know what it truly entailed at the time.

Yes, he had spoken "truth".

But it masked a blatant lie.

For when I actually started guiding these people,

they showed me the truth behind their questions, concerns, and queries.

They did everything in their power to not change.

It is only today I know what I missed back then.

I was too eager to "help", to not see the elephant in the room.

How foolish and naive!

Because I had merely begun to see the Truth about things,

I had not Seen enough through them to have

The Response

to their questions and queries of...

"I keep falling back to my old patterns. I must change."

"I must change and be a completely different person in 90 days."

"I work all week and waste away my weekends partying. I have to change."

"I have to change priorities in life to truly get something out of my training."

...

But, it is the one I have today...

Your desire to change is merely reflecting your deeper bond to your predicament,

and thus, of your stand of unseriousness towards (real) Change.

If one is wondering,

"What happened of all those people who reached out to you?",

one part of me will say - I do not know or care to know.

And the other part will say - I know exactly what happened.

And stating both would be to state the truth.

You see the Mind of the human is a sucker for illusions.

Becoming serious, on the other hand,

is something only the being in the human can allow for.

So it does not matter if these people gave up trying to change,

or are still stuck in the illusionary avenues of progress

while receiving physical and emotional therapy from the very many experts,

deep down they are the same human who reached out to me years ago.

...

Yes.

No matter what they think is their "present situation",

in truth,

they are still trying to change.

For changes like the one they have busied themselves with, are illusions.

Because behind the scenes,

it is one part of the Mind

(constantly)

hiding or morphing or disguising

itself or another part of the Mind as something else,

so as to (constantly) alter the perception of reality for the human

and drugging them with an "I am changing" narration to hold on to.

It is an unserious endeavor that allows for more unseriousness.

That is,

the hidden unserious motives that trigger the need for such change

in the first place, stay hidden.

They are not even brought to the surface,

let alone being recognized for what they are.

After all...

A change that is brought about by such "Mind over Mind" attempts is not Change.

(Real) Change is natural, visceral, holistic,

and thus a permanent transformation that does not

call for constant maintenance. It comes and Stays.

To allow for Change, one must be serious about

uprooting all seeds of unseriousness hidden within them.

To allow for Change, one must truly, truly See where they are.

Seeing is seeing without judgment, fear, hope, expectation,

and other blinding sentinels of the human mind.

Providing any more intellect on Seeing is

giving crutches to the unserious human

who will busy himself "trying to see".

Thank you.
