Integral Spirituality...

At the end of "Integral Spirituality" by Ken Wilber, the following questions are asked of the reader:



"Why were you looking everywhere, when God is the Looker? Why are you constantly seeking something, when God is the Seeker? When exactly were you planning on finding Spirit, when Spirit is always the Finder? How exactly were you going to force God to show his or her Face, when God's Face is your Original Face - the witness of this very page - already and right Now?

Why were you expending so much effort, when ever-present awareness is spontaneously and effortlessly arising right now, as is the awareness of this book (past), and the area around it, and your body, and the room you are in - notice them all, and notice that they are all effortlessly arising in your present awareness, they are all effortlessly arising in your timeless Wakefulness, right here, right now -

and how much effort do you have to make in order for this present awareness to happen? Where were you planning on seeing God, when God is the ever-present Seer? How much knowledge did you think you had to cram into your head to know God, when God is the ever-present Knower? How much of this book - or any book or books - did you think you had to read in order to find Spirit, when the very Reader of this sentence is Spirit?

When the very reader of this sentence is God fully revealed? Feel the Reader of this sentence, feel the simple feeling of Being, feel the Feeler in you right now, and you are feeling the fully revealed God in his or her radiant glory, a One Taste of the divine Suchness of the entire Kosmos, a not-two-ness of self and Self that leaves you breathlessly enlightened and fully realized in this and every moment. Hear the sounds all around you? Who is not enlightened?"



"...By giving up the search and resting in the Searcher,...blinding your ego with your Self, overcoming all difficulties in spiritual seeking by giving up seeking itself, nodding your head in recognition that the great game or play is up, the game of Hide and Seek is over, because you were It and You found out."
