The search for an inner life is frustrating. Two helpful guidelines: don't expect fairness and don't hold on to old ideas.
Most of us begin this search because of a painful experience or sense of 'is that all
there is'. The lives we lead are based on years of learned behaviour, thoughts and memory complexes. In the end they are not lasting, ever changing.We also possess a sense of awareness that goes deeper and illuminates. Consistent trust in this can guide us out of dependence on the external, world.
The effort is not to attain something rather eliminating all that hinders resting inwardly.
What appears as contradiction softens to paradox and eventually reveals itself as simply what is.
