There is, however, a place to look, but near impossible to see. It is almost impossible to see that this is where you should look. It is not a problem that involves what it IS that you will see when you look “there” – but one of the mind not being readily capable of grasping where it is that it should BE looking. This is why the few, desperate in their frustration, are so susceptible to the idea of Hidden Knowledge, or that the information they need exists only on the other side of the world from wherever they happen to be. This is understandable, but impuissant.
The thing that explains everything is no thing at all, but rather attentiveness to a thing –attentiveness to the thing which wants everything explained.
If you want to learn to do somersaults, you are attentive to your body and physical surroundings.
If you want to learn calculus, you are mentally attentive to the abstract concepts being described.
But if you want to learn what-is-going-on, you must be attentive to attention – so insistently that one day the egg will crack of its own accord and it is suddenly Omelet Time in Dixie.
The thing that explains everything is no thing at all, but rather attentiveness to a thing attentiveness to the thing which wants everything explained, and to most of even the few, this is too slippery, simple, obvious, annoying, or better yet – just ”not true” for them to waste time with. “Getting Enlightened has GOT to involve more than THIS!”
Some things never change.
