Hi there Everybody! Gosh, you all
sure are looking great. No, really, it's true!
Because I Am who I Am, I am often
asked a lot of questions. Questions about enlightenment,
religion, meditation, spirituality and (of course) non-duality.
My usual answer to all these questions is merely an enigmatic
smile. 
Simple answers never seem to satisfy
very many people and detailed answers tend to set the mind to
spinning and weaving.
Now, if a seeker asks,
"Where can I find God?" And, if I reply, "You are
what you seek." Then, what is the seeker to understand? That
they are the Being Supreme, the Creator of Everything, the Big
Kahuna and Lord of all Creation? Well, then the seeker will just
fill his or her little head with more fantasy and such and
everything will seem fine until the next time something untoward
(like a stubbed toe) happens. Then the seeker will just 'curse my
name' and go off looking for some other Truly Enlightened Being
who will impart the truth... happens alla time.
Sometimes I am asked what it's like
to be enlightened. The answer I like to offer is that it's OK. 
And,
it's not a big deal at all. Sure, it has it's moments of
unrestrained joy, laughter, bliss, nirvana, etc. By and large
though it is life as usual. But without all the botheration...
When asked how I became The Only
Truly... Actually, I didn't 'become' anything. It just happened
one day that I stopped thinking for a moment. And boom! there it
was or is. Know what I mean? Gee, it was all so simple. It had
nothing at all to do with my hopes and fears, dreams or
ambitions, or my pain and suffering. And yet, all those things
(and more) were somehow included! Wow, what a deal!
Now, before you get too wrapped up
in anything said here, consider this piece of advice: (Thanks to
Bob Rose of the MeditationSocietyofAmerica yahoo group)
You will only have a finite number
of experiences this incarnation. Don't
squander any of them on self pity,
daydreaming, rehashing the past, or
plotting revenge. Or thinking about
this or any other advise.
