The Trap You’re Already Caught In (But Refuse to See)

Seeking the Unseekable

Let’s get one thing straight:

The quest for enlightenment is like trying to win a game of hide-and-seek with someone who doesn’t exist. You’re chasing your tail, running in circles, and calling it progress. But here’s the kicker — enlightenment isn’t something you can own, possess, or even claim as yours…

…it’s not a favorite toy for the ego to flaunt.

It’s the realization that the “you” doing all the seeking is the biggest joke of all.

Imagine you’re on a lifelong scavenger hunt, but the final prize is just realizing the list was empty all along. The very act of seeking implies that something is missing, that there’s a “you” who needs to find something. But here’s the punchline — there is no “you” and there’s nothing to find.
