The End of Seeking

Download this episode (39 min)   
On our next call, we will continue to explore the depth and subtlety involved in coming to a final reckoning about what is most important in life by discussing what it would mean to come to the end of seeking. Most of us are seeking, looking, hoping to find whatever it is that will make perfect sense out of life. Isn't it true? One way to understand the principle that Andrew Cohen calls "Clarity of Intention" is to think about it as coming to the end of seeking. And that means really the end. Clarity of Intention is not about "seeking" harder. It is about not seeking at all. It is about finding. When we are talking about enlightenment no one finds by seeking harder, seeking harder is still seeking, when you stop seeking you find. Often the problem isn't that we haven't discovered what is most important in life; it is that we are still hedging our bets, still holding out for a better deal and are still unwilling to take what we have already found seriously.
