Sometimes the answer is really simple. In fact, it's so really simple, that it is simply simple, nothing can or need be added.

So why do we miss the simplest solution? We miss because the mind, which is complex, brings its complexity to each and every situation. Its doing it now. Have you noticed? And how about now?
Enlightenment is simple. It's brilliantly simple. It's more simple than pimple, and what could be more simple or obvious than squeezing a pimple? It's irresistible. Do you know why spotty kids run for cover, or nervously finger their pimples, in public? Because they are afraid that the hundred pairs of eyes which are lustily eyeing them up want a bit of the pimple pinching, zit busting action! There's nothing more frustrating than being beaten to the pimple pinching punch. Nothing more annoying than to have your pimples stolen away. Pimple pinching pushing is something only to be shared with your nearest and dearest. Wars have been fought over pimple pinching incursions. I kid you - not!
Getting back to the opening point (no pun intended) – simplicity – we really are looking for the simplest way with one eye whilst the other eye is looking for everything but the simplest, most obvious way. You are a walking, talking contradiction. You tear the house down before you build it. You build before you have torn down. Again, it's the mind at work (such a jerk).
If you came here for meaning then you came to the right place. But "let thine eye be single" especially as I am going to give you the solution in this live online class. I am going to reveal the most meaningful question which you can ask to have the most meaningful life, a life so meaningful that doubt finds no quarter to lodge.
You could ask yourself a whole battery of questions but other than leaving you like a flattened pancake what have you got in the drifting sands of time draining through the cracks in your hands? You could ask: Where did I come from? Where am I going? Why was I born? What am I here to do? You can bang your head against a wall and beat yourself up, frustratedly waiting for answers as you live out the same old tired scenarios and lies. Or you could get the one question which is brilliantly simple, elegant, meant-to-be and actually answerable. Imagine that, asking a deep existential question which can actually be answered! How novel.
So, why I don't just spill the beans, blurt it out, dunk your biscuit in the coffee? The reason is: it's so simple you would miss it. Your mind would ask "What's next? Feed me another doggie biscuit", and you know what comes from eating doggie biscuits? Doggie doo-doo!
This class is a one course, one item meal. First I will starve you, salivate you, tease you and finally reveal my piece de resistance, a tour de force, the nouveau cuisine of existential spirituality: this tiny question centred in a white ceramic plate.
Are you ready for 59 minutes and 59 seconds of non-stop philosophical action before the climatic unveiling in the last seconds?
