I suggest you give up the whole idea of "searching" and begin practicing being present and aware Now... in This Moment... just as you are. It's simpler than you think.

Then notice the quiet Open Space that is also here... along with whatever is going on in your mind or around you.


Also, you might like to read Eckhart Tolle's book, "The Power of Now".

I read the book a few years back. I think a part of me is afraid to stop searching because I think I'll end up crazy or die.

Well... I hope you take this with the kindness I feel in saying it Dynamist...

You are already a little crazy since you want to just keep searching instead of finding. And everyone dies sometime. So that shoots holes in postponing discovering the truth of yourself... eh?

And... there is fear in everyone's mind about the Truth, in one form or another. It's good to face those fears and go beyond them to discover how simple and pure it really is.

Go ahead... read the book again. You'll hear it differently this time because you'll be able to take it personally now.

"Nothing to it but to do it" I guess...

Alright! I'll read the book again.

It's easy to become blinkered by searching to not see the answers when they're laid out in front of you. By all means search and let the Universe know you're looking for the answers, but don't concentrate so hard in searching that you can't see them land in your lap.
