Seductively addictive
Endlessly fascinating, seductively addictive, hopelessly attractive or repulsive, and seemingly never-ending: the contents of experience.
We already know to turn away.
But just as seductive and rarely turned away from: the beautiful descriptions, fascinating explanations, and liberation-promising practices of nonduality.
Nonduality as a path — with an addictive sense of progressive understanding, fuller embodiment, and ideally both.
But alas, no freedom.
There’s always the next thing to process or understand.
However:
Instead of trying to figure out what is going on, we can be fascinated by the simple fact that it is going on.
Instead of finding the correct path or perfect practice, we can explore the naked capacity for practice.
Instead of processing endless feelings, traumas, and tensions, we can feel into what knows the coming and going of all of that.
Instead of trying to expedite the seeking in the dream, we can stand as the dreaming.
Instead of consuming more teachings, we can notice again and again what comes before all teaching.
Instead of pursuing more expansive awareness, we can recognize what is already aware.
But isn’t that just avoiding, dissociating, not committing, or bypassing?
Instead of making that into the next thing to figure out, why not simply find out?
You can always go back to being on a path.
