Awareness, enlightenment, and awakening are elusive because human conditioning has us convinced that learning and searching are the way to them; thus, any of the above is a procedural effort. That is, the “process” of “learning to become” becomes the object (awareness, enlightenment, awakening, etc.) initially sought. Meanwhile, “the sought” requires no learning, searching, or process at all; it simply waits patiently for you to come home to silence. Come home; it is the only place of peace, joy, and love, and it is the long-needed rest from a journey to nowhere. Well, nowhere but here, now.
