The pathless path - Part 1

The inspiration for this article comes from a recent comment on this blog. A reader commented that the article (about peace and happiness) is nicely written, but is it not easier said than done?

This is true.

Many articles posted on this website 'talk' about our True Nature, about peace and happiness, and how peace and happiness is always here. However, we do not often explore 'paths', 'practices' or 'methods' to realizing our True Nature. 

It is almost as if we are talking about this delicious chocolate cake, how beautiful it is, how tasty it is, but we are not sharing the recipe.

Sharing experience

The author is in no position to give advice. What the author can do, is share from his own experience, his own 'path'. The author can share his understanding of the wisdom that has been shared with him, from numerous wise and kind masters and teachers, in different forms and places. All of this, only possible through Divine Grace.

So, what the author intends on doing, is to write a series of short articles where we discuss and explore different spiritual paths or practices. Exploring different methods to acknowledge what is always Here.

Different paths, leading to the same Destination.
Different methods or practices, leading to the destruction of the idea of 'I' or 'separate self'

As for the 'spiritual path' - the word 'path' may be deceiving, because this path is a pathless path. It is not about reaching someplace separate from ourselves, or attaining something that is not already here.

The aim of this series of articles is not to gain more intellectual information and to learn more stuff. It is not about attaining some thing at the end. 

We are not chasing an experience. Any experience that comes, will go again. Anything that was not there in the past, will cease to exist in the future. We simply want to become aware of what is Here and Now. In other words, our Peaceful Nature, which is absent of lack and suffering.

Learning together

The author welcomes any comments or insight from readers, throughout this series of articles. We are continuously learning and growing into our own Being. This growing and learning is an endless exploration into our Infinite Nature. 

Another way of saying this, is that we keep sinking deeper and deeper into the Heart of Awareness.

This means that this 'pathless Path' is an endless path. A path with no goal or destination. The only place we keep arriving is Here.

Excited about the upcoming series of articles, the author is thankful for this opportunity to share. As readers, please join this exploration and share your thoughts and insight in the comment section.

Like a river that flows into the ocean, our practice dissolves the 'practitioner' into his infinite True Nature.
