Seeking is avoidance - Part 1

Seeking is avoidance. Have you seen that in yourself?

Seeking is the dance between the deep desire for the truth and the avoidance of the truth, of what we are.

The desire for the truth holds our integrity. - That which yearns to fully meet itself.

The avoidance of the truth holds our resistance. - That which is afraid of what the truth may really mean for the I, for the body-mind.

The desire for the truth comes from beyond the I, despite the I. The avoidance of the truth comes from the I.

The desire for the truth bestows the grace of the breakthroughs. The avoidance attaches to the breakthroughs - the lack of them and the presence of them - as though they were the only truth.

Finally, it is the deep desire for the truth that enables us to see that we are in avoidance of the truth.

Seeking is avoidance.

Seeking is seeing the avoidance.

Seeking is seeing the dropping of avoidance.

Seeking ceases. The joy of continual discovery begins.

Nothing has changed. Everything has changed.
