Who would you be if you gave up your game of hide and seek?
“If we were to stop this game of hide and seek - who would we be?”
It’s quite possible that life can be completely bypassed in the search for happiness, fulfilment, wisdom, wealth - and even in the search for self, love or spirituality.
What would your life be if you were to stop seeking to find completion in any place, person, post or possession? It is easy to become possessed by these things and by the thoughts of what they may bring. It is easy to get lost in what has been, might have been, should have been, yet might be… and by what you’d like to be and see.
But what if the search were to fall away? Who in fact is seeking anyway? What is the problem that needs to be solved or indeed resolved?
Where is the line between you and me? Where is the divide between what you seek and what you see? Where is the line between what you experience personally and what you understand to be happening outside and globally?
Are you who you think you are - or are you what resides below, beyond and between those thoughts. Ironically by going in search of who is looking may be more illuminating. What if you were the hider as well as the seeker?
If these questions resonate with you you may find that Seekers Corner does too. It will especially resonate if you’re keen to let the questions and need for answers to dissolve. It was founded by a good friend of mine who went in search of the answers to these questions and found nothing - and perhaps it is nothing rather than something that is where you may wish to look. It may be the one place you haven’t looked. Don’t be surprised if you don’t find what you’re looking for : )
