Yes agreed...then what prevents us from living this truth?

Life is relationship

I should have written "the first step is the last step".

I think he also meant that there is no turning back. So Eve, I would suggest that what prevents us from living this truth is fear. A child knows it can fall on his bump and continue to crawl and thus will venture to stand up and take its first step. But there is no going back once we take that very first step into spiritual inquiry, we are doomed to continue searching for the rest of our lives and that can be scary.

is it not analogous to ,' to go far you should begin near.

We are watching, not waiting, not expecting anything to happen but watching without end. JK

gv: Yes. The first step (to seeing) is the last. In that step or shift in perception, there is immediate insight. But this is from moment to moment. You learn as you go. To go far, you must start with what is near, i.e. what is at hand. That is all you can do because what is at hand is the fact and what could be, e.g. the ideal, is a non-fact. If there is no insight now, what follows is a continuation of the same blind conditioned behavior.

The benediction is where you are
