We can only look for what we already have. The compass comparing this to that already buries the treasure. It was inside all along.
The truly lost man could only stumble. But you are doing more than that.

Are you suffering the story, or are you suffering the sensation?
Give the story more attention and it changes. Give the sensation more attention and what you sense changes. So between these two that are changing, who are you?

There is no journey, there is no higher me. There is just me, identifying a s form, dreaming. There is no longing for the future. The identified self seems to yearn for the future. But this is the way.
Below names lie just sensations and forms. Below words and concepts lies the unknown. Still dreaming as form, we may remember our formless nature, shaking us free from dreaming.
Without naming everything there is no-thing. Identification is a compulsive choice. Behind identification lies confusion between the seer and the seen. A lazy and sleepy sitting on the observed, unneeded, unasked for, ungrounded.
The surrendered person leaves behind an empty mind.
This empty mind allows the body to loosen, and escape the devils grip,
as the devils trap relies on resistance.
"You are a Buddha, and so is everyone else. I didn't make that up. It was the Buddha himself who said so. He said that all beings had the potential to become awakened.”
~ Thich Nhat Hanh
Your ego is your immaturity, your mind without ego is your awakening.
Just die to this moment deep enough so that you can resurrect, and realize that no-mind is Buddha.
-Osho
