The Finger is not the Moon

The answer is within you.  The old Zen saying is: "Do not mistake the finger for the moon." The answer is not in books or in teachers. Your answer is not here. All that books and teachers can do is point you in the right direction and encourage you to look within. Don't worship them.

There is a place in your mind, a point of contact with your Source (God, Spirit, Higher Self). Get quiet and ask these three questions.
1. Who am I?
2. What is it that I most need to know in this moment?
3. What is important and what is not?
Read books and listen to teachers that you feel drawn to. They will help you point the way. They can't make the journey for you. Get quiet. Listen. Sort out what is important to your life and what is not. Act upon your inner promptings.



William Frank Diedrich is the author of three books including The Road Home.
