Seeking Enlightenment Is Exhausting! (Because You're Already There) - Jeff Foster

A short video about enlightenment and "Being in the Now" that might just change your life. Author and teacher Jeff Foster speaks in a humorous way about being in the moment and being out of it, and finally coming to recognise yourself as presence itself, already complete, unchanging amidst the chaos of life. You are already Home. Jeff's website is www.lifewithoutacentre.com
Recorded Live, 25th April 2015, Netherlands.
"You cannot become enlightened.
You were never un-enlightened.
You have always been the light
of conciousness itself."
- Jeff Foster

“Suffering is the feeling that I’m in the wrong scene.” That’s brilliant!

Getting in the moment becoming a goal for sure has some negative implications... Important point, not talked about too often

[@AshlynnAspires]

I love you Jeff. You are very kind and loving. Loving energy! :D

Amidst the chaos of life, we have forgotten who we are. We simply have to remember

This is to be Words that cannot even express exhaustion this has been four years of me going through an Enlightenment and I am trying to figure out a way how not to pursue it anymore I have given up well enough now I simply want to go back where I was home because I see nothing that has blessed me with at the end of the day nothing but heartache disappointment in trouble

[@tobychampeney628]

I remember the moment some one smacked me on the nose i'm really glad it only lasted a moment and certainly not my favourite moment, nor would i want to stay in that moment, but i must say i felt more peaceful afterwards !

I thought that non duality was a crazy idea, until one day I had an experience with the unknown out of no where. I lost consciousness of this realm. There was no separate entity anymore. It was just pure existence without a body. There was no time anymore. I had a distant memory of this life. It feels like bliss and death at the same time. There was no sense of time. I could be there for all eternity and not even care.

Why does the mind turn anything into a goal? Because the ego needs to have and to be in control. Because our selves want a linear way to fix all of our problems. If I do XYZ or 123 on my list then I'll be ok. I have the focus and determination to get everything I want and remove myself from this anxiety and difficulty in my life. But maybe all of the dysfunction and depression is all part of it and shouldn't be seen as undesirable, of course at the time we feel that it is. I didn't like what he was saying about the screen, I didn't respond to that at all. But I like what he says about walking someone else's path. I've felt this my whole life that someone else more worthy knows more than me, and I need to be following in the shadows. I'm sick of it. He's right.

[@pharmalokd]

Right on dude.

[@bazemk5111979]

I agree, I find it funny when people say I'm more spiritual now, or more enlightened now.... How can you be more from what you already are.

[@jantjeOwen]

🙏🏻❤️

Living is exhausting! (Beacause I am already dead, maybe).

[@sanekabc]

Advaita people confuse the issue. "I am here" is the ego center, I think therefore I am. That is the illusion. I am not here is the reality. When you are not, the screen is but it is not you.
