What are you searching for?

by Hopeful Spirit on Sunday, January 31, 2010

We search for every­thing we believe we don’t have, not know­ing that every­thing we are look­ing for is already inside us. We are born with it.”

I’m let­ting the quote “roll around” in my head. I’m think­ing about it. I’m not really sure I under­stand it. At first I thought, “That’s good.” Now I don’t know. I’m try­ing to under­stand it in the light of Scrip­ture and fig­ure out if I believe it. You have given me some­thing to think about.

Born and raised in the Bay Area, the Golden Gate Bridge is a sym­bol of home and deep­est hap­pi­ness for me; I per­son­ally find it an appro­pri­ate fit for the quote. All the best.

I think that’s a really deep quote. At first it might be easy to dis­miss it — think­ing that, well, there are a lot of things that I want that I don’t have. When you look at it more closely, though, those are mate­r­ial things that don’t really mat­ter as much as the things we *should* be look­ing for. And even below that, I think the search for mate­r­ial pos­ses­sions could be rein­ter­preted as a search for emo­tion and love and peace, which are the things that Don Ruiz was say­ing we have inside us. As a cul­ture, we’re look­ing out­wards for hap­pi­ness when we should be look­ing in.
