The choice: awareness or spirituality

Much better to remain in this simple awareness, than to keep reading "spiritual" stuff. This simple state is the natural state.

How strange that one missed it all these years, even after reading so much so-called spiritual stuff. One wonders whether the authors of all these tomes (weighty tomes on self-enquiry, haha) really recognized themselves while writing chapter after chapter about their own true nature.

Another thing that really hinders the seeker from the truth, or the sufferer from relief are all the so-called enlightenment experiences which most likely are all happening in the mind, inside the illusion. We expect and wish for such grand experiences, and reject awareness, since we believe those fantastic experiences must happen. But who would experience all those things ? Our awareness only - us only.
