The Seer

---

For most spiritual seekers, the belief that personal identification
obstructs self-realization gives rise to the drive to get rid of the
personal story. But this is still just another part of the story. It
is so important to recognize this. Attempting to get rid of the story
is just another tangent of the story, another example of the power of
mind to control.

I have often seen in spiritual circles that instead of a real
examination of our storylines, there is a tendency to suppress the
story. In that suppression, the story may seem to be removed, but
there is still no peace. You cannot rest in the beauty and
transcendence of yourself while suppressing the story of yourself.

The story is still going on, but since you identify yourself as a
spiritual seeker, you push it out of conscious awareness. Spiritual
conditioning has simply taken the place of worldly conditioning. The
story is still operating, but now it operates subconsciously. And you
are confused as to why you still suffer.

Continued suffering is proof that your story is still being told. If
you are willing to not label that suffering as bad, then you can be
willing to simply see what the story is.
