I will reveal a simple Truth to you.
A very simple Truth.
In fact, I have already revealed it in the title of this post.
I will merely expand on it now ...
The key to the path to enlightenment is simple.
Very simple.
By that, I imply that there are no tricks or hard-work involved.
All one has to do, is watch.
Yes.
Watch their Mind.
There.
I just gave you THE SECRET.
The secret to arriving at the pinnacle of human performance and experience.
Yes, as simple as that.
And now on to the part that you will not want to read.
So it is better if you stop reading now.
And walk away with the secret.
...
You see because I just gave the secret to the person who walked away,
he will not walk the path.
Such is the nature of human beings.
The easier the access to such a path,
the more unlikely for the human to walk that Path.
The harder they have to work for or almost unreachable the beginning,
the more likely that they will walk it.
In my experience with guiding people to Truth so far,
I have learned of some other such blockades.
And I will share them here.
Most are too deeply conditioned to question their life.
These humans are beyond repair.
They have swallowed the "blue pill" so many many times,
that they do not want to see any other color.
Words like "Truth" and "Enlightenment" to them sound illusionary.
"Stopping thoughts? Is that even possible?"
These humans also happen to be the "batteries" powering society.
They are continually drained by its tentacles.
In return, they are constantly fed pleasure.
(Promises, consolations, actual pleasure - matters not
- at the end of the day, all these things provide for the Mind)
This post will be the last time I will mention them.
Others are just not ready.
Their life so far has been a merry ride.
Why bother with leaving a ride which is "not that bad"?
They will rather await the illusion of "right time".
Others are just not serious.
Some of these are suffering.
In more than one aspect of their life.
For instance, in their relationships or business.
But they continue to believe the lies of their Mind.
Being free from the Mind sounds too good to be true to them.
For their "threshold" until which they can keep suffering is too high.
Some of these are "successful" (read: also suffering).
They have tasted "success" on multiple occasions.
But that chase of milestones has had been enough for them.
So much so that realizing Truth sounds like a step down from that chase.
Although deep down they do not feel this.
To some, the pull of their chases is so strong,
that arriving at Truth sounds like another chase to them.
And they keep coming back to the brink of seriousness-
"Maybe it is time for me to truly seek my ULTIMATE..."
But one of the many chases pulls them right back.
Back to square one of their unserious existence.
All these people have one thing in common...
"Watch your Mind"
will have no effect on them.
For THEY do not want to watch "them".
Taking it as a prescription,
they will end up watching themselves.
For they have no visceral desire TO separate themselves from their Mind.
To plant the DESIRE to walk The Path appears to be intractable.
How to take a sincere but "semi-ready" person,
and make him realize his inherent desire for Truth?
How to make the human who merely thinks he is serious,
realize seriousness?
I have taken note of such questions surfacing within me.
My Mind rejects them as "impossible".
And that is how I know,
I will not rest until I find and actualize the answer.
Thank you.
