If the finger is pointing at the moon, the important thing is that you look at the moon and not at the finger. People waste time with this finger, with endless searches, they don't realize that they are failing to do the essential thing: looking at themselves. Believe - you are already everything you need to be, you already have everything you need to have. Being everything, therefore, there is no need to seek anything. It is necessary to get rid of the search, the desires, there is nothing else to do, in fact, it is also necessary to stop doing. What you stop doing is what matters, not what you do.
Merchants of illusions multiply in this scenario of unsuspecting seekers. Flute players are adept at driving mice: don't be a mouse anymore. I know the music is seductive, but what you don't realize is that you're acting like a fool. Do like Ulysses before the mermaids: cover your ears with wax, only in this way will you free yourself from the charm of their music, one that the Truth is within you and can never be taught with words.
The vast majority of humanity insists on outsourcing existential choices, delegating powers to religions or diverse doctrines so that these institutions can show them the way.
Any serious guidance should not say anything other than what is obvious, that Nature works to help you deconstruct identifications with a false self. You didn't come here to learn anything, just to unlearn. The enlightenment process is just that!
You just have to be what you already are. Excuse me if I have been wordy, repetitive and simplistic, but all the complication has only served to distance you from your True Nature. Miraculous therapies, powerful sects, magical teas, initiation rituals, etc., are just pitfalls on the way. Go ahead, investigate your own behavior, look for the emotional roots of your temper, look at yourself and ask questions you haven't asked yet. You are a god, how could you live with saucer in hand around the world looking for help? How could you believe that you are weak, powerless, evil, poor, or incapable?
Humbly accept that you are the only problem to be faced in this life —there is nothing left to do but fight this false self. 'Fight' is perhaps not the most appropriate verb, since everything is resolved with love, however, I use this term to motivate you to this good fight.
Stop doing, stop acting, stop controlling, let go.
A bird, in order to learn to fly, needs to throw itself into the void.
