A Simple Realization

 The more I learn, the more I understand that there is nothing to learn.

We always think we need to "get something", experience something, do something, understand something to become whole. There seems to be always something missing, out of our reach....and one day, hopefully, we will reach it and be happy.




But this is not so. In fact, it is so much simpler than that. Wholeness is ever-present and it's only our inability to surrender to it that prevents us from seeing this. 
Once you realize that wholeness is not something you have to gain or work for, but something you only have to allow to happen, you will find freedom.

The Self, our true identity, is like a cosmic magnet. It pushes from the outside (through pain, sorrow, unpleasant experiences) and pulls from the inside (through intuition, a calling), asking us to go within and to remember our true nature. 


The illusion of free will is the illusion that we can somehow escape this attraction. Ultimately though, there is no turning away from our true nature. You cannot be something else than what you are. You may delay it for a while, fighting against the pull, but the attraction of this magnet will never stop and is greater than any other force.
