Seek nothing.

Don’t try. Not do, as seek nothing.

This can lead wrong direction. Because the sentence implies that not seeking is the best way to seek, which is doing and trying. Again dont try. Not do, as seek nothing.

So, do nothing, instead of seek nothing? Or perhaps surrender to nothing, become nothing, rather than look for it outside myself.

"Seek nothing" feels more like a prescription than a description. When seeking stops there is no concept of having to seek nothing/stop seeking, because that implies that seeking is still present and has to be gotten rid of.

 Seek nothing is dont try, not do. Just “be”. 

@snowyowl

You are already what you are. Holding on so called thoughts so called creates the so called separation. Holding on so called thoughts is doing, not doing is You.

Nice, thanks :) Although it sounds like you're talking from the absolute pov; my ego is looking from the relative, separate pov so can't really process your advice in a practical way. Therefore we look for a nice story like seeking the truth, following the spiritual path, as a way into this.

Yes, and attempts at putting what is into words continues to be made, even though it is utterly impossible and meaningless. What is pointed to is too close/direct to be put into concepts of what to do or not do. The end of the seeking is the end of the seeker, nothing changes and it doesn't have to. The end of the seeking what is already is what is already, without seeking.

It doesn't matter whether seeking occurs or not because there is no goal or end result that needs to occur.

When the body dies, there won't be a memory of the suffering or the bliss that was experienced. There won't even be the slightest remembrance of existence.

It simply can't be done right or wrong, because right & wrong are conditioned concepts ultimately lacking in reality.

When you’re conscious enough to realize total abundance, not conceptually, but experientially, there is nothing to seek. God needs nothing.

When aren’t conscious enough to feel the total abundance of the moment, something seems lacking.

So much gets left out with these pointers. Identified as a person you can't help but seek. Identified as unchanging Awareness, seeking automatically ends effortlessly.

Anytime. Nice story for truth is probably not much possible, because it is the end of ego, end of identification.
