Be open

The desire to come back to the glimpse is actually the deepest desire that we have. We desire perfect love and total freedom more than anything else, even when we dont know it consciously.

Simply observe this desire and see that it does not belong to anyone. It is present. You are invited in the Eternal Moment, and what is inviting you is you yourSelf. Be open, and in this you will see that you are is openess. And you will see that you are already home.

Already Truth

The psycological mind, that is based on the idea to be a someone (in other words the ego concept), is not involved in the process of self realization.

it looks like we are spiritual seekers that are searching for Truth. But if we actually look in what is happening what we are is just the Awareness that is observing the action of seeking going on.
Seeking is happening, but what you are is the witness of this action and not a seeker. What the seeking is pursuing is actually the discovery of the true nature of the seeker and miss totally to see that the seeker is already present 100%, it is present as observation of the seeking action.

This means that there is no mental speculation or ultimate feeling that will put an end to the search for truth, because what we are looking for is what is ALREADY looking at the seeking action. This one was present before the seeking was happening and it will be present also when the seeking will end.

Truth infact is always present.

Memory of the Self

Presence can be self perceived in whatever conditions the body finds itself as by definition it is always present.

You, as Awareness, are the subject of any object, either apparently inner or outern ones. The very fact that you know that they exist is because you are present to them. You are Presence itself.

Very rarely this recognition is permanent. Often it is a kind of first glimpse that is followed naturally by the desire to come back to it. As the various temptatives to come back to what is actually always present fall apart, the attention comes back to the Presence because it is no more attached to the strategies of the mind to return to the Self. The mind will always try to come back to its idea of the Self, as what the Self actually is cannot be objectified as it is always the subject of any object.

The mind cannot remember the glimpse in itself as in the glimpse the Self is directly attent to itself and to the objects of the mind in the recognition that they are actually One thing. Mind can only remember the situations and conditions in which the body is, and therefore when the sense of be a someone separate steps back and the glimpse fades off there will be very easily the idea that those conditions are the cause of the recognition itself.

If this is understood, immediatly any strategy to come back to the direct pereception of oneself falls apart and the memory of the glimpse is no more hold in the mind as the Self. When the image falls what is true, the Presence, reveals itself in all its clarity.

You are the answer

You cannot go closer to truth. You are Truth.
Infact each movement of the mind to perfect the image of truth, that itself is holding on to in the identification with the objects, is actually a movement away from what you really are.
This movement is witnessed by Awareness itself and when this witnessing becomes conscious there is no more interest in the pursuing of a mental conclusion, although an higher understanding starts, where what is understood is intellectualy clear and at the same time is felt right.

The image of perfection of the mind relates always to a path to be done in time, and therefore keeps the attention away from the moment. What the seeker is seeking is not in time, but actually where the seeker is, here and now. The answer to the quest fo Truth is the seeker itself, that reveals to be in an accurate enquiry this empty Awareness that was observing all the time the seeking process.

Becoming aware of the seeking action that is often so unconscious in the rest of humanity is enough to point out that what is looking at the seeking is not an object of time, but a formless timeless Awareness that is always present. What is looking at the seeking reveals itself to be what one was seeking all the time, the permanence, the truth of everything.
