Template:Shadows of Non-Seeking

From Everyday Enlightenment

Within the Lens of Non-Seeking, we find contentment in the present moment, without constant longing for something else.

  • Looming Shadow - Obsessive Seeking, is constantly seeking or desiring something else, perpetually dissatisfied, never being content with what is present. The harsh truth is almost everyone is constantly in this state. It's easy to notice, but hard to break out of.
  • Flickering Shadow - Passivity, is when the practice of non-seeking evolves into passivity or lack of initiative in life, leading to stagnation rather than contentment. The goal is more about being fulfilled in each moment, and that is nearly impossible through passivity because change is inevitable, and Embracing the Change is the opposite of resisting or denying change.
