Listening to anyone, any institutional information source, leaders, philosophers, gurus, etc., other than your inner silence is the most egoic fuel source you will ever draw from. A steady diet of it bolsters the mind but cripples the heart. It is high-octane nonsense, and the price you pay is far too much!
Nothing in this life experience is important, even less so if it costs you kindness, joy, and love for everyone and everything. You will always travel farther, more comfortably, and with greater peace if your gas-guzzling mind runs on empty.

You were not born to “be” anything other than what you are without the noise of thinking, believing, and hoping you will be something else. Do you see? We are repeatedly told we can be anything we want to be, which is not true. What you wish to be is a figment of your imagination, conjecture, and wishful thinking. That is, a product of your mind that has never experienced “what you are” in the midst of “what is.”
Know thyself,” e.g., “what YOU are,” before embarking on an endless journey to something else, e.g., something unreal, and remember if you can think it, wish it, hope it, believe it, that’s not it. YOU, as is, right now, are the creative center of the universe. You don’t have to think about what that means. Just accept that nothing in all the heavens and Earth exists without YOU.

Wanting keeps the futility of “what isn’t” alive and “what is” from being experienced. Until what you want only looks like “what is” here and now, you will forever be hooked to the dream of non-reality coupled with your mind’s puny attempts to alter it.
What you want is “what is.” It may not match your mind’s idea of how it should be, but wanting something “other” will not make “what is” go away, nor will it alter present moment mystery and splendor. Don’t “want” for anything; the transformation you experience is that you have everything. You already have everything, but only when you forgo all thoughts that tell you otherwise.

Mystery explodes into awareness but only in the presence of the unexplained. A calm and expansion of view occurs when, with eyes wide open and thoughts at rest, all you see is unperceived by your mind. In other words, awareness directly correlates to the unknown and the unknowable but is completely lost to the “known.”
Your words, thoughts, and descriptions blind you; Awareness is not blind. Let “mystery” be without noisy speculation; awareness will silence all inquiries. The unknowable is the real “beautiful life!”

“It is good.” Encompassing words uttered at the moment of creation, your creation, unfettered by any division whatsoever. Nothing exists without YOU; only when you divide against yourself does good become something else. Something unreal.
The heart of all that is doesn’t beat within your chest. It is YOU quietly humming a rhythm and eternity dancing to the subtle beat of “it is good.” Give gratitude and thanks for being included in life’s (YOUR) most fantastic song.

There is nothing to spirituality. When you’re there, you’ll know, and when you “know,” there’s “nothing” to know.

You can’t fix anyone you judge needs fixing, but you can fix yourself from all attempts to “fix” others. What you define as broken exposes your brokenness, not theirs. Kindness is not a shrug of the shoulders and a sigh of disdain. It emanates from a heart that embraces all of life’s nuance and variations and smiles at the pleasure of intermingling, without judgment, those who are not like you. In other words, you should be smiling a lot!

The rainbow colors appear separate when refracted (divided) through a prism but blend into whiteness (white light) when the prism is removed. Your mind is a prism through which all division takes place. That is your “colors,” whatever they may be, are you separating what is into little pieces of what isn’t, narrowing focus, and altering reality. Do you see?
Your mind is the divider separating all that is into preferential forms, e.g., good, evil, and all your variations. Removing your mind (silence) transforms you into ONE glorious light that shines on everything without separation of any kind. In other words, silence is your way to crystal clarity. When you give life your “undivided” attention (silence), nothing you experience will be without “enlightenment.”

You know, when you love life, suffering disappears. All things you judge right or not right give way to splendor, beauty, and myriad wonders all rolled up in “you,” wholly caught up in your experience. Stories, and all suffering, is stories lose their pizazz when living presently and in love. Close the book on your past or future. Living starts now!

When genuinely engaged in real-time, e.g., present moment awareness, all human interactions, friend or foe, will appear silly and, perhaps, a bit mundane. You may also find yourself giggling that you were once so foolish.
Live with abandon. You cannot fail at life, nor will you be graded in any way for anything you do. Only humans carry around a red pen. Have fun, not fear. Love your friendships and feuds. It won’t affect your success in life, but it will make it more enjoyable.
