Perhaps that which is searching is that which has already arrived. What if arrival is all that there is? We think of ourselves as consolidated finite entities moving through time and space. We think our interests are "our" interests. Can we really know that this is true?
We think our likes are "our" likes. We think our dislikes are "our" dislikes. We think our joys are "our" joys and our pain "our" pain. Yet, we have any real evidence that this is indeed the case? How can we know that that is not just a projection from the infinite? These ideas make a great story, and many of us love great stories. Stories are the spice of the cosmos.
Yet , what is this need to be in ownership of the story lines that run through us? Jumping into the movie and thinking that we ARE the movie does feel like great fun. Perhaps this is why the infinite does that as us. And right how, here at least, it is even more fun to see through that game.
Perhaps all of this is just an award winning Broadway Show that has been running now for 129 trillion seasons.
The Bruce that you have known for a long time or are just getting to know here is still intact as this is written. The story still unfolds. Yet, the glue that holds this story together is beyond the story. Does this make sense?

Hi Bruce,
It makes sense to me, and it is delightfully simple. I like that.
Nice to "meet" you on facebook.

Bruce, I love your writing, your style, your ideas and most of all the deeper space you come from beyond the words. I can feel this space or sense it somehow.
You eloquently point to the ineffable or indescribable or un-namable place from which all creation stems and reading your blog makes me feel that all is well and nothing ultimately needs to be done or changed.
This is a wonderful gift and when we speak in person, I'd like to discuss possible ways your wisdom and love can be connected to my Breakthrough Coaching learning community at http://www.breakthroughcoaching.cc
Sincerely,
Howard
