You are that which you are expecting. The seeker is that which one is seeking. This is the nature of self-consciousness. Am I to believe that there is something mysterious to find outside my self somewhere hidden in the world? Just look at this world – as a witness to observe the chaos of human self-identity throughout all of human history leading up to what is happening in the world today. Where could all of this chaos be leading? To what kind of a personal future? Is one to imagine an immortality of doing what the human race is doing? How unfortunate that would be just doing these same things over and over for eternity. There is only and forever the present moment to be fully appreciated for it contains everything that ever was is or will be confounded by a paradox of time. This alone makes for a foundational understanding for meditation.
