In a Moment

In a Moment

There’s one thing in common to all seekers: the conviction that what is not being seen is not present. With all who seek holding this presumption, it tells us that herein lies a key to ending the search.

The seeking ends when it is recognized that what’s been sought is already fully present.

What is already always present? The present moment.

But the seeker unavoidably stands, body and mind, in the present moment. So, what’s the hitch?

This all-too-common, ordinary moment isn’t what the seeker’s quest is focused on. The searcher is intent upon discovering an extra-ordinary moment.

The irony is that nothing can be more extraordinary than when it is perceived that this present, unexciting moment is the moment which we come to realize is the very moment we’ve been awaiting!

Freedom is not stationed months away, waiting for you to discover it. Peace is not holed-up in a distant time zone, hunkering down until you buy a plane ticket. Those who wake up, do so in the exact moment they are in.

Everything in this immediate moment, material or immaterial, is pointing to the place and time where enlightenment reveals itself. When you ignore it, you’ll be in the next moment. And it will be there too.

The difference between seeking and not seeking is only one moment.
