Before the seeking enters

To go out and seek the enlightenment and to try to get the awakening experience, or find liberation somewhere, is Not like go to the pub and buy a pint or go to the fridge and get a sandwich. THAT's how we are usually functioning when we trying to fill a need or satisfy a desire or solve a problem, we use the reasoning ability. Before we start the great seeking game there should be someone who could say to us "hey, wait a minute, what are you doing?...what are you trying to do?

Take a step back and look at the issue again and on what you are "thinking" to do? If there is some alertness, awareness about what is about to happen. In that seeing there can be the clarity that it's never go to work. That the journey is not necessary, it's a dead end. The battle is lost even before it started. But for oneness is even the disaster and the frustration not something bad or wrong, just what it is, as it is. Everything is welcome in this open vastness. This can be hard to hear for the mind. Nothing is denied. The seeking happens and is okay, until it's not.
