More From Theoron Felson

We cannot find the Self (or God, if you will) by seeking. What we seek is here and now. It is this moment; whole and complete. Once an attempt — via a thought process — is made, the moment is lost. Therefore, that which is sought is best left unsought and allowed to arise on its own.

---

When the individual being identifies itself with the One, there is a realization: the death of the limited self gives birth to the immortal Self and there is no need to be concerned with any experience beyond “death”.

 ---

When we still our restless thoughts and see beyond concepts, duality, and all the illusions created by the ego-conscious mind, we experience life as it is — an effortless expression of the True Self.


---

Our detached, disconnected, and fragmented view of the Universe is the underlying cause of all our ills. It is this ego-sensation, wherein we view ourselves as something separate from everything else, that pits two “opponents” — mankind and nature — in a foolish, futile, and ultimately disastrous confrontation.

---

We think about the past and future. But what are the past and future beyond mental concepts? The past and the future are not the manifest here and now. We react to situations as they arise. But we should be aware that “imagining an outcome” and “looking back on a choice” are present moment activities.
