True Nature...

The only thing ego cannot acquire is the true nature of what you are.

It can
acquire a hundred thousand spiritual experiences, but it cannot acquire who you are.

The essence of this moment cannot be acquired because it is the only thing that is going on.

That is why seeing it is called realization.

You are realizing what always is, always was,
and always will be.

Anyone who has ever had a glimmer of awakening finds this such a
shock because you realize you always had what you were trying to acquire all your life.
