The Search

No matter whether you were living in the Mayan period 

or trying to survive in today's technological world,

deep in your natural mind,

your will be subconsciously searching for serenity and eternity
amidst your rat races for money and materials just to be ahead of your neighbors.

What is critical is to do your search at the right place.

In looking for something, you can do it in a dark room where you can see nothing,

or in an illuminated room where you can see something.

By casting your sight outward,

you are looking at the world in front of you all at once.

You are searching for a needle in a haystack and do not find it.

You are actually looking for something in a dark room.

By casting your sight inward,

you are looking at the world inside of you at once.

You are searching for a needle in a familiar space.

You are actually looking for something in an illuminated room.

Only when you look inward can you find the magnificent power of enlightenment within you: 

the power to guide you toward a meaningful life
--one with serenity and eternity--
One with Timelessness.
