You are correct that only through direct experience can truth shine clearly, and to find oneself there requires both fidelity and grace. When all efforts to find it are exhausted, somehow truth finds its way to us, nearly always unexpectedly. And yet also when it does happen to appear, we can see that it was never away from us.

To exist purely in the moment and drop the pursuit is to really become the conduit for truth to pour through you, to light your being with it's grace. However, it's fleeting, at least for me, to reside there. Direct experience is what needs to build, at least for me, so that truth is not only understood intellectually but lived fully through my own particular form, the pattern of person that I have the blessing of driving around here in this particular spin around the wheel. So I am ardently concentrate on awakening from the delusions and fully embracing the whole, pulsing truth, so I can stop the endless turning and returning. Thanks for helping me to elucidate these thoughts, with your inspiring musings. Love, Stacy Dear Mike,

Another lovely post, and one that I’ve been earnestly thinking about. is it the pursuit of truth that brings us into it, or is pursuit part of what clouds us, even distracts us, encumbering us with the trappings and fruitless endeavors in the name of spirituality?

So I am ardently concentrate on awakening from the delusions and fully embracing the whole, pulsing truth, so I can stop the endless turning and returning.

Thanks for helping me to elucidate these thoughts, with your inspiring musings.
