Apprehending the Real

By: Steve Ridley

If REALITY indwells “me” as “me”
from whence does this seeker of REALITY arise?

Our experience of suffering motivates us to seek, yet the inherent dynamics of the search itself (our conditioned assumptions) perpetuate this orientation, disposition and dilemma of suffering.

Observe how the mind creates continual distractions to keep the sense of limitation, self-contraction alive – to perpetuate the myth of feeling incomplete, unfulfilled. Realize who this Observer is.
