In the seeking, we become frustrated because we never seem to find what we seek. The trouble is we are always searching in the appearance, and the idea of "me" searching is within the appearance. All seeking is in the appearance, since who we truly are is not a thing that appears, nor the "seeker", there is a endless amount of frustration arising.

Who You Are is not seeking, doesn't need to seek, needs nothing, wants nothing, and is totally complete. This statement is frustrating to the seeker, and rightly so, because as long as there is the belief in a "me", which is an appearance of thought, there is the belief in "other than me", the other appearances.

Many of the traditions teach us to look within for answers, for the Kingdom of Heaven, for peace. In nonduality of course there is no inner nor outer, yet when talking about this a way of saying it is not to look out to the world, to the appearance to find peace.

If this resonates, then it is being heard without ears, it is being known in the heart, in the opposite direction, so to speak. "In the heart" is That which is prior to the appearance, That which holds the appearance.

However, if this doesn't resonate, you are seeking as a "you" within the appearance, a "you" trying to find "other than you" to make "you" whole. These damned words get in the way of defining the true essence. Try to describe the taste of an apple to one who has never tasted an apple, now go a step further and try to explain it without using words, only gestures, how would you get the point across? The only way possible, by giving them an apple and saying "taste". So, here is your invitation to taste!
