You’re looking for something, aren’t you...?

Hey you...

Knock knock…

You’re looking for something, aren’t you? 

You’ve been searching in all the wrong places, haven’t you  

Maybe the search began in your hedonistic youth, and you made it out alive.

Then through your career…but you didn't find it there either.

You might have continued the search through travelling, shopping, intense exercise or time consuming hobbies. 

But the search continues… 

The relationship, the home project and children may have provided some respite.  

But now you know you’ve been looking in the wrong places. 

Congratulations!

Many don’t make it this far. 

I’m afraid I can’t tell you exactly where to look. 

This journey is undertaken alone. 

A destination that no maps, Google or otherwise, can guide you to. 

This is a journey inwards, 

to understand who you really are, 

beyond the layers of conditioning, 

beneath your wants & needs, your likes & preferences, 

without your worries, self-doubts & fears, 

stripped of your attachments and coping mechanisms.

Who are you then?

What’s left? 

This is the True you. 

The you YOU have been searching for. 

But I can’t tell you where to look. 

All I can say is keeping looking. 

Never stop. 

The journey can feel lonely. 

At times you may feel you are back at the start. 

You may only know this you, in glimmers. 

But one glimmer in a lifetime is worth it. 

So keep looking. 

Many of us are on the path too. 

You are not alone.
