The mind that is seeking truth will never find it

Sometimes .

Sometimes? I will guess then, 07:15, 06: 43, 22:05, 15:57. Do any of these times
correspond with your sometimes?

When we are searching for someything there is the seeker and the thing that he seeks after. When the seeker finds what he thinks is truth, is God, is enlightenment, he must be able to recognize it. He must recognize it, right? Recognition implies previous knowledge, otherwise you cannot recognize. I cannot recognize my wife if I had not met her before (whenever I've me her)Therefore when I say this is truth, I have already known it and therefore it is not truth. So a man who is seeking truth lives a life of hypocrisy, because his truth is the projection of his memory, of his desire, of his intentions to find something other than "what is", a formula. So seeking implies duality-the one who seeks and the thing sought after-and where there is duality there is conflict. There is wastage of energy. So you can never find it, you can never invite it.
To be as nothing is essential. As a cup is useful only when it is empty, so only when one is as nothing is it possible to receive the grace of God, or Truth, or what ever.

The thread title is explicit. It is an assertion, and as such the assertion is true, or it is false. Given the caveat contained in your assertion, I was pondering what state your mind was in when this truth became apparent to you.

Yup. That's what I read in Tonington's post, too. So?

I don,t think it is so hard to understand - the mind that is "the known" can only search , look for something that the mind knows .it can not consciously look for something that it knows not .

I know stuff. But unlike what you say, that does not preclude me from being curious and discovering things about stuff I don't know.

It can invent things but these inventions are of thought and time therefore not true. God or truth cannot be thought about. If you think about it, it is not truth.

I think about rocks and trees and all kinds of stuff. Rocks and trees and all kinds of stuff aren't true? roflmao

Truth cannot be sought; it comes to you.

Sometimes accidents happen, yes. Sometimes things are caused. If I get curious about a rock I pick it up, discover it is heavy, hard, and not edible. These are truths I discovered by picking up the rock, weighing it, feeling it, etc.

You can go after only what is known.

Does a baby know what a couch feels like before it goes to the couch and touches it? No. It sought the couch and touched it to find out a truth about it.

When the mind is not tortured by the known, by the effects of the known, then only can truth reveal itself. Truth is to be known from moment to moment. No one can lead you to truth; and if anyone leads you, it can only be to the known.

For example ; what things about the staff you don't know do you discover AnnaG.

I think about rocks and trees and all kinds of stuff.
