STUFF

KISS. Keep It Simple Seeker.
Wanting stuff, trinkets, baubles, gadgets. The latest thing.
For men the stereotype is fast cars and expensive watches, for women shoes and chocolate.
It is the wanting that is the problem. Wanting keeps you from having. You cannot want and have at the same time.
Stop wanting and start having.
The Truth is you have everything.
When a want is satisfied you feel happy. You get a promotion, a new car, the diamonds, the recognition, the film deal. But this happiness does not last, and you want again, to be happy again.
The next want needs to be bigger to get the same hit. You achieve it, feel happy, happiness wanes and so the downward spiral progresses.
Like a drug addict forever craving that one last fix.
Why not be happy all the time?
If you get in touch with your true nature, you actually stop wanting.
You begin to know the happiness that you really are is far more intense, satisfying and wonderful than the happiness you could feel from worldly achievements.
You could suddenly become the richest person in the world by inventing the chocolate shoe. (An item that confuses women into remaining silent and peaceful by focusing the chattering mind on the question 'Should I eat it or wear it?').
But the happiness felt would still only be a small glimpse of what is available, of what you really are, if you would only remove the clouds of the world illusion.
So why not concentrate on getting in touch with the happiness inside and leave alone the spiral trap of worldly wanting? Why not have happiness constantly no matter what happens in the world?

" Truth is very simple. A flower does not try to be beautiful. It's True Nature is Beauty. It exudes fragrance, beauty, perfection. Just by its very Being. In the same way, when you Awaken to your True Nature You will naturally exude Love, Compassion, Beauty.
It is all you. For it is your True Self. " - Robert Adams.
