The question is "Can Truth be sought?" See, What You are is already here and now. Therefore, if you are looking for Truth, the Revelation of Truth is in the acknowledgment of what is already present here and now.
What has been happening is a search for this so-called "truth," a search for this so-called "truth." And what you can find is still part of what you idealize, what you believe, what you seek, and, therefore, cannot be the Truth.
If it's something outside, if it's something idealized, once programmed by thought... and that's what happens in this search: you look for what you believe exists, and what you believe exists is something always outside, it's something distant, it's something idealized by thought and, I repeat, cannot be the Truth.
When dealing with Truth, if Truth here means Divine Reality, we are dealing with the Reality of our own Being, and This is something present, so It cannot be found outside.
We are before what we are here and now, so the Truth can be acknowledged indeed, but not found, once this "truth" is an idea, a concept, a belief.
Is it clear?
Your work – and this is the purpose of being together, working on This – is to have this encounter with ourselves, with What we are, with What we are now, not with what we are looking for, not with what we are seeking, as an idea, a belief.
So, we use expressions like "God," "Truth," "the Divine," "Reality"… The matter is not these expressions we use, the matter is to comprehend we are not dealing with something outside, something distant, something that can be found by our effort, by our search, by our dedication, by our seeking.
What You are, reveals Itself here. Once you become aware of all this illusory movement of being "someone," once you perceive and comprehend the implication of this illusion, of this belief – all of it grounded in thought, in which you have been living all this time – once this has been discarded, once this has been investigated deeply, and through this direct contact with your own Being, this direct communion with your own Being, through something simple like the Real, the True Meditation is, this Acknowledgment of the Truth is possible.
This Acknowledgment of the Truth is not the encounter with the Truth, it is the Recognition of It, the Acknowledgment of its Presence.
We are dealing with the Divine. We are dealing with God. We are dealing with What You are. So, we are not dealing with something in the future, we are not dealing with an idea, with a concept. We are dealing with the Truth, the Truth of Being, the Truth you bring with you, the Truth You are.
Assuming This, in this Acknowledgment – some people have called it "the Awakening" or "the Realization of God" … This Realization of God is not because you're going to meet Him, but because He finds you, and when I say Him, it's You! There is no separation between what He is and what You are. So, I would say that you are in the "search for Yourself."
This "search for Yourself," if misunderstood, will be a search based on thought. This will ward you off and move you away from That. So, here it is about going beyond thought, going beyond mind, having this Acknowledgment of What You are, here and now.
So, this is the Truth to be "seen," "perceived," "acknowledged." This is what You are. This is the Divine Nature. This is the Nature of Being. This is your True Nature.
