An Enlightening Dialogue

When I was first asked by my spiritual teacher what I wanted more than anything else I passionately answered: PEACE! He then asked: ‘Great, so if you want peace, how much of your day is focused on making that your living experience?’
I had to be honest and say: ‘I’m really busy right now, so not that much!’ … ‘Ok, so why are you so busy?’ he compassionately asked. ‘So that I can get my body, relationships, finances and life how I think it should be so that one day I can relax and…(I remember pausing as the penny dropped!!!)... enjoy some PEACE!’
With the help of that enlightening dialogue, I saw how I was habitually putting my hearts greatest desire on hold. Waiting until I fixed, changed and improved my life circumstances. Trying to feel good on the inside by perfecting my life on the outside. I was waiting for a future feeling that never came. Can you relate to this?
Have you been working hard to get to the mythological place called ‘there’? What if there is here? It has been all the time.
Have you been postponing your hearts greatest desire until your life circumstances are fixed, changed or improved? If you can relate to habitually waiting for a future that never comes then I urge you to use your Ascension Techniques to get back to now, where what you want is waiting for you.
Whenever you notice your mind wanting to make your peace, love or joy dependent on external 'stuff', then gently come back to now using the Ascension Techniques. By giving all your attention to this moment, there is no room for the future. You can discover that now is full. Now is complete. Now is perfect and pristinely peaceful - always.

Dear Sutratman, i am such a fan of your presence. You have an endearing presence. I resonated with your share. My stumbling block has been not only the outside movement of the mind but also the addiction to seeking. Its taken rodasi's share to help me understand. When i follow a suggestion like placing my attention effortlessly on the here and now and using a technique i relax and enjoy peace. And all i want to do from there on is rest!
Thanks sut, youre a cool guy! I look forward to when we meet at some time in the now moments we all share! And you are right life is an adventure.
blessings and love, Mark Stearn.
Beautiful!!!!!!!!Thanks so much!
