"There is no Point B" is not some knowledge to learn or a spiritual practice to follow. It is a simple observation of what is happening. But still, I tried to quote whatever "knowledge" I came across from yogis, gurus, science, or religion, under "Story Time" throughout this book. I call it the "story time" because I don't want to give this any more importance than just a story. It can be taken for what it's worth or discarded freely.
None of what is written in this book is new. Most are right in front of our eyes. Some pages may evoke a feeling, "Oh yes! That is so true! How did I miss it?" Some may even create a shift in awareness if we are ready.
Anything that is written in this book may feel redundant. The only bottom line is that there is only this is-ness, the present moment. Every other sentence written in this book is going to go round and round and point only to this is-ness. All the life stories, 'Story Times, realizations, and everything else written in this book is only an attempt at pointing to this one truth from several dozen vantage points, which is, "There is no 'Point B.' The is-ness is all there is."
"There is no Point B" is a significant observation, because seeking an illusory Point B is the cause of all suffering in this world. Suffering is the distance between 'is' and 'should.' "There is no Point B" simply means, there is no "should," there is only "is."
Enlightenment or liberation is only juicy as long as we play hide-and-seek with it. And once it is found, it only evokes this feeling, "Wait! What? Really? Is that it?"
