Everyone

What if the peace, fulfillment, or awareness we are seeking is not something that can be attained? This meditation explores the subtle impulse to become more, and the conditioning that keeps us moving towards something we imagine is missing. Through quiet self-inquiry, we are invited to notice what is already present, and to recognise that perhaps there is nothing more to become. A deeper exploration of awareness, seeking, and the possibility of resting in what is already here.

Hello again and welcome. This meditation is called Is there anything to attain? Have you ever noticed the impulse to attain something you believe will finally bring a deeper sense of peace, Satisfaction or calm? Perhaps it is something you hope to realise, To become more aware more understanding or more patient. Beneath this impulse there can be an assumption. That what we are truly looking for is not on the surface. That there is something deeper within us that is not yet fully attained. But what if there is nothing to actually attain? What if that which we are seeking is not something that needs to be found? But something that can simply be quietly recognised. In this moment, Can you notice what is present right here? Before the next impulse arises, Before the next desire surfaces. There is simply an inseparable presence. One's awareness. Now awareness does not need to become more present or more peaceful to be. Or become anything more at all. Yet there can remain a subtle movement, One that draws you to something that is apparently missing. To finally arrive at a place we imagine will bring us what we seek. This is where the impulse towards attainment begins to reveal itself. As a mental movement. A movement towards something other than surface objectives. Now nothing needs to be attained What happens when there is no longer anything to seek? To be or become. When there is no longer the impulse for more. Without this momentum, There can unfold a quiet wisdom. That which knows there is nothing to arrive at. Nothing to become. Nothing to seek or attain. Nothing has been lost or diminished if this momentum quietens. Nothing has been lessened or limited. When not being driven to realize something somewhere else. But now with clear seeing. That can be recognized. That what is already present is complete and whole. There is nothing more to attain. Only this. What is? One's inseparable awareness. Already here. And now in the absence of seeking. There is simply the freedom to be. Exactly as awareness is. Timelessly and inseparably. Present.
