CAN. No release from uncertainty

Stop looking for answers. Just sit and let go of any seeking, any grasping, anger, desire etc, peace will come. The water will clear. From that peace will come. The important questions and along with them the answers will come from that peace. Any answer that does not bring you more peace or leads you to more grasping or anger etc etc is incorrect. Let go more. It's simple really, just hard for some and easy for others. It might be easier for you then you think it will be. Or it might be harder and that is also ok. Don't expect it to be either hard or easy. Just take the action of letting go. Most wise people do this; even the scientists that are so famous do it. They became peaceful and just observed. From that came the questions and the answers and the experiments that brought more answers. You can of course also learn to actually actively ask questions; but without great skill you will muddy the waters again. You have to have the right size pebble and toss it in the water at the right speed OR be able to stabilize the water and the sediment to be able to actually ask questions without muddying the water. (Which then muddy water just gives you horrid answers that will lead to suffering.) But really, all actively asking questions is going to teach you is to stop seeking and asking questions. Ergo, to stop seeking. Granted, being able to stabilize the mind through super complex situations can be useful and even fun. Imagine being able to toss a giant boulder (or have one tossed) into a pond and not even have the water ripple, to have no murky cloud bellow up from the mud at the bottom. For the pond to still be at peace. That pond is of course your mind. I'm not saying I can do all of this.. I'm just saying it's possible. Seeking just brings suffering. Letting should feel good and if it doesn't, let go of the pain, the fear or whatever comes up. It's only for the moment, you can pick things back up if you need to. (All though really, picking things back up isn't an action we do, it is just something that happens because of our prior habits of how we live life. It's amazing watching this process happen honestly.. and scary and bothersome.. as it should be.

If you are able to sit, that's an accomplishment, because the majority are simply exhausting themselves by endless seeking and achieving what only lasts for a few moments and beginning a gain. Worse, you get to the end of your life and see all the time that you squandered as my father did.

You can see a solidity within Myogen's answer at the end of the video. That's the Hallmark of a true spiritual seeker. Even though I'm not a monk, I too have been forced to practice meditation to lessen my own mental torment. Sometime it becomes too much. But then I remember that enduring life's suffering is actually the fast track of spiritual growth. And then I feel better.
