Seek and Do Not Find!

The ego is a master illusionist, and one of the ways it diverts your attention, from the moment you're born, is by giving you problems. These problems are usually right in front of you, and the answers to these problems have to be found out there in the world and utilized. It doesn't matter if it's your own survival that's the problem or something as seemingly lofty as attaining world peace. The problems and the answers are always somewhere out there in the world or the universe. 

'The truth is out there,' says your generation. It doesn't matter if they're talking about extraterrestrials, or any of the ego's other substitute mysteries and problems. For the real truth is not out there - because the real problem is not out there there. But you keep looking out there, never realizing that, as the Course says about the ego: Its dictates, then, can be summed up simply as, 'Seek and do not find.'  ~ The Disappearance of the Universe   Facebook.com/DWMJFphoto
