The falling away of the seeking, suffering and doubt is a natural side-effect of being clear on your true identity.  Do not focus on the side effects, and certainly do not look for some "life changing" event, shift, awakening or other non-sense! That is a pure concept and will put you right into duality and becoming. Many seekers are chasing a conceptual mirage called awakening and studiously cultivating their post-awakening development. Apparently, they are still under the delusion that there is someone present to do that! What kind of event do you need to have to be what you already are? Keep it simple and direct. Know beyond any doubt that you already are what you were seeking. This is what nearly everyone overlooks. You are that. Everything else is a concept imagined in this that you are. So leave the thoughts and concepts alone. Abide effortlessly and naturally in the simplicity of being what you already are. And there is no one to do that, because that is what you are and the entity that would do that is only a false, imagined concept. This is the essence in a nutshell.

  Do nothing, absolutely nothing! Just be. Be the knowledge "I am" only and abide there.
~ Nisargadatta Maharaj
 

Stay with that essence that you are, that natural state that you were and still are, before the clouds of thought began to form.
~ "Sailor" Bob Adamson


John Wheeler
John met "Sailor" Bob Adamson (friend of Nisargadatta Maharaj) on a trip to Australia in 2003. Bob pointed out our nature of non-conceptual awareness and the absence of the limited self we imagine ourselves to be. With this heart-to-heart sharing, the spiritual search ended. John enjoys sharing the pointers with those sincerely interested in self-knowledge and the ending of seeking, suffering and doubt.
