Which Direction Are You Orientated Toward?

Being curious and acting on our curiosity is crucial 
for any seeker to discover what they are looking for.  
 
We can never discover our true nature by believing what others say – even a trusted teacher. Each one of us has to do our own investigation – there is really no way to get around this.
 
Seekers don’t believe – they discover.  
 
Discovering our true nature often begins with a sense of that true nature. Stillness, peace, joy, love, wholeness, freedom are all words that try and describe this sense.
 
The briefest of glimpses of this sense, when we trust it, can be powerful enough to orientate us in its direction.
 
The sense of our true nature, which is free of all suffering, orientates us in the direction of freedom.  Gradually, we come to distinguish between control and freedom, and the more we choose freedom the greater the orientation becomes in that direction.
 
We come to see in our own experience that whenever we try to control things  (our thoughts, feelings, experiences, others) we suffer. 
 
And when we allow everything its freedom – 
we don’t attach or identify with anything – 
we don't suffer at all. 
 
Freedom allows us to sense what is true.
