The Perfect Trap

April 30, 2018 by admin Leave a Comment

“Look carefully to find out if your spiritual search is a disguised form of ego.” Eckhart Tolle (from The Power of Now)
___________________

Ah the irony of Tolle. Look carefully: if you have a spiritual search that is Ego. Hah! All spiritual search is a disguised from of Ego that masked tension. Searching for completion in the future is the Ego. But it’s a perfect trap because one must search for that which cannot be found until the fruit you are seeking drops unexpectedly in your lap. What you are seeking will always be a surprise, and the surprise is You.
