...if everyone were a finder, artists would be creating art, businesspeople would be conducting business, lovers would be drowning in each other's eyes, teachers would be teaching students, and there would be no talk about meaning, illusions, separation, or existential issues because everyone would understand that "what is" is what everyone and everything is, and that everyday ordinary life is the whole kit and kaboodle.
I have a good friend who used to meet with me to discuss existential issues, but after he woke up, there was nothing left to discuss in that category. Today, we occasionally talk to each other, but all we talk about is how our families are doing, and what kinds of activities we're involved in. There's simply nothing else to talk about.
I know several enlightened people. Some of them are busy and involved in multiple activities, and some of them live quiet simple lives. Some of them have very little money, and some of them are quite wealthy. Two of them are single, and the others are married. All of them seem to be content "doing their own thing" whatever that happens to be, and none of them are seeking anything beyond THIS.
As Byron Katie might say, "This is just the way of it."
