The mind is only capable of creating limitation.
It is a limitation itself and cannot ever be anything more than that.
So it is only stepping out of this chattering mind that will bring freedom from it and relief.

Your true nature is that which already is underneath or before every sound, every person, every thing or any thing.
We know the motion of our true nature by the open embrace and empty surrender and acceptance of everything as it is.
Regardless of the apparent depth to the Self, which we have created out of our spiritual seeking and the buiding up of the Self in this or any other way; it is an entirely shallow and superficial motion. not just shallow and superficial in its outward projection, although this is also true, but actually and only shallow and superficial.
Duality:
We are always talking about two 'things', until there is only silence on a momentary basis. These two things are:-
a. The 'no-thing' which is our true nature or the Divine.
b. The 'some-thing' which is not.
The nothing we will call our true nature, because that is exactly what it is.
The something or mindbody package will be referred to as the Self. (This includes the conscious-self, unconscious-self, ego-self, feeling-self, true-self, knowing -self and all the rest of the ideas of the chattering mind.)
The self is also the entire package of the person which we know as me/myself/I.
All of the ideas we have about 'Enlightenment', 'Self Realization' or whatever spiritual names have been given to our true nature, make it very difficult when the real does shine through. We then mistake the real for too ordinary or not mystical enough, and then we end up creating a more exciting version of reality, which is obviously not true.
Our true nature is entirely unknown.
Our true nature is the nothing which the something arises out of.
The point of all this IS to stay here as our true nature. That is the goal, so to speak, of this eternal now moment.
It is all so very simple but this simplicity will not be seen via your familiar vision of looking at everything via the running commentary of your mind informancy. Awakening to the state of the natural man will only come about through you consciously choosing to move from this, that already is - and this you are very capable of.
