What are we Really Searching For? What is it that we are really crying out for? Is it for more money, better health, food, shelter, etc.? Are we asking an external authority to give it to us? Are we blaming and condemning ourselves and others for our situation? Or is there some deep fundamental cry that goes beyond this material life? Have we had enough of the emptiness that living through suffering brings? Is the cry for something that no-one or nothing external can supply? Is there a deep sense of loneliness inside of you where ultimately you are lost and you do not know how to be and how to live? Does this feeling of absolute loneliness or emptiness follow you everywhere? Is there an understanding that no-one really knows you or sees you for who you are and that relationships always seem to be pretentious or somehow lacking? Does the meaning of life seem to elude you and can no-one answer this vital question that has no words? If you feel this, then you have the essential catalyst for a breakthrough. This essence of restlessness is the very thing that will catapult you into questioning the absolute basis of your life. There is only one true question that burns inside of us and there is only one answer and we will explore both in depth throughout this book in order for you to come into your own inner core, realise the truth and know exactly who you are. We have suffered as a human race and we are separated individually and globally and we have seen that we are in serious need of a turn around if humanity is to survive much longer. There needs to be a change, as the old ways of doing things are not working. Mind and thought play a huge part in the way this world works. Their core dualistic nature, based on pleasure and pain, is detrimental to the existence of life on this planet. The human being is crying for release, so what would it take for us all to start again! We cannot expect this of others; we can only ask it from ourselves. The question is do we really want it? Is the passion for the truth deep enough? It is said that we only learn through suffering, but this statement is a lie, because we as a human race have suffered for thousands of years and still we have learnt nothing.
