Nowhere to Go

The reason why you can't look at yourself is because you're already there. There is no you to look at you. If so, you are divided, and there's where you'll find the source of conflict. What you try to be is illusion. You can't go anywhere that does not exist. And you venture farther away from truth with your pretense and hope. Therein lies the whole reason why there is war, poverty, and hate. Your ideals, your identifications, your hope, your trust, your beliefs: These are all ways to escape and to create division. And when they fail you, and they will, you are bitter and disoriented.

There is nowhere to go. You are right there. There's no path to truth. The many paths are sources of division and confusion. There's no method, methods are hypnotism and distraction. Just look and see. Just pay attention. If you can't see, then find out why. Inquire, investigate, but don't put on the pretense. The pretense is the whole reason you can't see in the first place.
