I take this a bit further. I openly suggest that my current self directly influenced the younger me, encouraging him to go way beyond his wildest dreams. The jury is still out if he learned anything along the way, but it certainly has been an awesome ride. To be honest, I still feel this way (that my future self is coaxing my current self. It's a bit hard to describe.)
For me, it was never about seeking, per se. It was about trusting what I had found and desperately trying not to let it go to my head.

Frubes for this.
Indeed, as things turned out for me, that was the case. My inner experiences stood my previously held notions about reality on its their pointy little heads, and that did take some getting used to. To my young mind, at the time, the implications were enormous. Fortunately, for me and those around me, I am a very quick learner.Why? If you truly trust what your discovery, what is the problem?

Indeed. I spent quite a lot of time deconstructing the universe as I had created it. Making it anew was a pretty sweet undertaking, but well worth the effort.....or 'un-learner', LOL.

In my expeerience, the appearance of a seeking is simply a fundamental attribute of the viewing process. To fight against this phenomena would be a pointed waste of time. Before a rather pivotal moment some time back, one could have easily said I was seeking something, but really I was attempting to magnify an experience that already exists within me.

"The fundamental process of reality is, according to the Hindu myth, hide-and-seek, or lost and found.
I'm don't know if that's really what it says, but in any case...correction, Mr. Watts, it only APPEARS that way.
I like that.
Unlearning may not really be any 'harder' than learning,
but it can be an awful lot scarier,
much like pulling the entire ground out from under your feet.
