...at the root of a lifetime of seeking was always the assumption
that life wasn't complete, that there was an individual separate from
the Whole, that Oneness was out there and not here, that it existed in
the so-called 'future'. And out of this assumption, in a million
different ways the individual tried to reach completion, and turned to
drink or drugs or meditation, but really it was all just a manifestation
of the same desire: the desire to return to the Source. But of course
the individual could never find the Source, because the individual was
already a perfect expression of the Source. That's why the seeking can,
and does, go on for a lifetime.
What we're looking for is already
staring us in the face, but we can't see it, because we're too busy
looking for it!
