The technique is the obstacle.

Many seek a technique for ‘spirituality’. They want a doing, a method, a teaching. There is no technique that can be learnt or applied. Because if there was, who is the one learning and who is the one applying?

The Being, is not Being through doing. It is Being.

When you sit in deep meditation. The knot will untie itself.

You will see, that thinking is actually a ‘technique’ that is being applied. It requires effort to think. Thinking is a doing. Because thinking has become chronic with an endless stream of thoughts one after the other, it is no longer recognised as a technique that you are unconsciously applying but has become ‘second nature’.

This is where the illusion is rooted deep. When a technique is applied without ceasing, it is no longer a technique. It simply becomes the way. There is no conscious awareness that effort is being applied and it happens automatically. This is ‘second nature’. Thought however, is so provocative and captivating you can’t pull yourself away from it.

In the meantime, first nature, Being, is present. Undisturbed. Eternally so. Yet this is true, right now, as you read this, you are distracted in mental thought. The minds world.

When one who wants to become undistracted from mind seeks another technique in order to do it, this seeking is mind.

There is no technique to Be. It’s impossible to do something to become yourself. Self is always Whole and always Here.

Undistracted is recognition.

Recognition spontaneously arises.

With a settled mind, All is Known.
