The Place You So Desperately Want To Go

 

I cannot tell you What Is.

I can only ask you What If.

Why can I not tell you What Is?

Because your mind will not believe me.

Therefore, I am speaking directly to You. And I will not try to convince your mind of anything.

What If your life could be lived in such a way that it made you say, “My God. I can’t believe I’ve been missing out on this for all these years.”

What If even as I speak these words to you, you are sitting within a prison cell and you Just Plain Don’t Realize It?

What If you never had to search for happiness ever again? Because happiness suddenly stopped carrying the charm it once did.

Incidentally, no one is really searching for happiness. They are all running from misery.

But where one goes, the other is not far away.

And what if this state in which happiness no longer needs to be searched for could be realized this very afternoon?

This. Very. Afternoon.

What If at the age of 75 you found it? And as you looked back you said, “I could have had this thirty or forty years ago!” And your heart sank because of the tragedy of not having realized this then?

What If the happiness you’re searching for just simply does not exist anywhere in the world? What if it was all a myth? A hoax. And you just didn’t realize it?

What if you had the sudden realization that the Events that you are hoping to make you happy only keep you enslaved. And they’d never bring happiness at all?

What if you found that one place within yourself in which such realizations come to you fast and furious?

No, I will not tell you where that place is. Because if I do you will look everywhere Except For the place I tell you to look. And you will look for Everything Except For that which I ask you to find.

Why?

Because your mind is afraid that if you find that place, you will no longer be able to be controlled. You don’t want to die, do you? Well neither does the mind.

YOU are its only reason for living. If you go, it goes.

I realize that what I am about to say will not faze you because your mind will tell you that I’m being alarmist. Or that I’m using fear tactics.

But “belief” is only for those situations in which one does not have immediate evidence.

I will state frankly and without an iota of a doubt that you will live As You Are and continue to suffer the roller coaster of emotion and turmoil and hope and despair until the day you leave this Earth. You will not achieve Freedom.

I will state with absolute certainty that your life Will Not Change. And it will continue As It Has Always Been from now until the day you die.

Your mind is waiting for an “unless.”

I have no “unless” for you. This is just the way it is.

I will only say this, and I will say it with softness in my voice and sincerity in my heart:

What If There Was A Way Out Of All This?

Not happiness. Not meditation. Not mindfulness. Not positive thinking. Not yoga. Not retreats. Not motivation. Not prayer. Not incense. Not gratitude. Not anything that the feel-good, cosmetic, trite, insincere, derivative, impotent, and unoriginal society has told you.

I cannot tell you that There Is A Way. Because if I tell you that, your mind won’t let the message through.

And quite frankly, I don’t blame your mind for doing so.

Because my words are being spoken to you as we both sit in a society that has fed you horseshit for so many years that the mind has become gun-shy to letting any more of it get to you.

Anything that comes from society is by definition, False.

As the saying goes, “Consider the source.”

In this world of noise, I will send to you a whisper. And the whisper is this:

What If There Truly Was A Way Out?

What if you were inches away from embarking upon a journey that would finally lead you to the place you’ve always desperately wanted to go?

What if you could this very afternoon begin to say, “I can’t believe I’ve been missing out on this for all these years,” instead of saying this at the age of 75?

If life has taught me anything, it is that there are no coincidences.

There is a cosmic and universal reason that I’ve spoken these words.

And more importantly, there is a cosmic and universal reason that of the 7.5 Billion people on Earth, I just happened to be speaking these words to YOU.
