Everything is as it is; no one can refute or change that. However, humans have spent thousands, if not millions of years, struggling against it, and for what? Humans have reasoned that we can improve what we have failed to see. We’ve concluded that we’re smarter than the creation that allowed us to experience the created; thus, in our hubris, “we will fix it.” Do you see the arrogance?

If you are on any side of “fixing” the world or anyone/anything in it, you are the problem, not its solution. Humility does not exist in the noise of the crowd. No, not even yours. However, humility is the only peace on Earth you will ever experience.

The simple answer to life’s mysteries is “I don’t know,” but not knowing in no way affects your experience. It might even add some “peace” you had not seen before.

What you believe is coming to you or that you think you are going to is ego luring you into a hole that the past has already dug. Anywhere but here is where ego wants you to be, and sadly, most are “anywhere but here.”

As wise ones have said, the ground you stand on now is “holy ground.” Solid, firm, and real. Will you undermine it with yesterday’s unfulfilled expectations or tomorrow’s dreams of what isn’t? Stand where you are and be present. Nothing is more evident than “now,” and you can always deal with that!

My joy, your suffering. Your point of view, my judgment. My anger, your glee. Your lowliness, my arrogance. My awareness, your blindness. Your love, my hate, my politics, your religion, your education, my weak-mindedness. My loss, your gain, and on and on and on. See a pattern?

All because what’s “yours” is believed, and what’s “mine” is believed. No one can see through beliefs. Thus, while preserving what’s mine and what’s yours, we all walk blindly into a non-existent reality upheld by unbelievable nonsense believed! Can you see?

When you fail to see that the inner beauty of those not like you is different from what you claim yours to be, it’s time to shed your beliefs. They’ve made you blind, and blindness is no way to experience something so grand as life right now in whatever it has served up! Please don’t take my word for it, but do give it a try. You won’t believe it, and that’s a good thing!

Remind yourself often that “what YOU are” stepped down to have the “human” experience you are currently having. In other words, “what YOU are” is infinitely more than the human form you occupy. Regardless of what you think, believe, or do, you are always that greater light having this wondrous “human experience.” Regardless of “what is,” YOU transcend it; that is… YOU are God!

YOU are not your body. As a human, you are like the leaf of a tree, swaying gently in the breeze, the tree rooted in the Earth, Earth rooted in the solar system, the solar system rooted in the universe, all rooted in infinity. None of it any more than what universes, surrounded in the infinite, are. Do you see?

Any significance you attach to yourself, the human, and what humans do is insignificant, yet, like the leaf on a tree, its beauty is infinite and not only dresses the tree but the ALL. You don’t live in the universe. YOU are the universe. It lives, you!

“Can life be more meaningful?” the questioner asked. “Don’t you mean that you have some idea of what life can give you that makes you feel better about it?” was the answer.

No part of your experience is happening because you believe it is for your good, bad, or unfolding some purpose you want it to have. You (ego) bring(s) all of that to the party, and what you think is a buzzkill for any party. Regardless of what you experience, YOU are the most incredible show on earth, and while it is all yours, it has nothing to do with anything you “thought” it should be. What you believe “meaningful” isn’t. Living what is, is.

It is often said, “It’s the journey, not the destination,” but it’s neither in reality. Life’s sweetness is, ultimately, in living it. That is living each moment well and impeccably. Do you see? Destinations are conceptual creations of minds that are not content with what’s happening now and distractions from the only place the “real” exists, e.g., right here, right now. The “journey” leads you away from “here and now,” and all “destinations” are imaginary.

Your so-called “higher self” is not waiting for you to “get there” so that your life suddenly turns into something you’ve dreamed of that doesn’t look like your life. YOU are here now, and it is the sweetest place in the universe if your mind is off and your heart is on. Live well, smile, and be your best. You’ll never have to be or do anything else.

Your side, mine, your religion, mine, your politics, mine, your righteousness, mine, etc., are nothing but the context in which you formed your ego, and I formed mine. Do you see? You are right, and I am wrong all because of your context, which I could never have experienced, nor you, mine and in the name of my, impossible to be wrong, rightness and you yours, you, me and everyone can condone and even advocate the most abhorrent behaviors and actions toward fellow human beings.

Some will exclaim, “We are all one,” and retreat into context. Silly humans. “I am right, and you are wrong” as a context for living doesn’t seem to work. Maybe we should try “I am wrong” and leave it at that. I don’t know. I was just (wrongly) wondering.

What is it about you, me, or anyone who thinks there is something more to life than what is right now? Shallow experience is what you think about, while the only thing you can experience is what’s happening now. Do you see? Reality never carries the seeds of thoughts, contemplation of what might come later, or comparisons to what has passed. Only humans do that and, in so doing, replace “what is” with the thoughtful, dull, repetitious drone of “what isn’t.”

Lose yourself to silence and quietly watch the magic appear. Actually, it won’t appear; you’ll simply recognize what is always there but hidden behind the clutter of thoughts. You don’t need “more” in life; you need less of what you “think” it should be.

You have the answers, yet you cram for the test as if they will magically change just as you are about to answer them. You ace the test and feel the relief of knowing just what needs to be said to satisfy the test-giver but still don’t know what you thought you would, so by all means, cram some more. There’s another test just ahead. “Cram” information into your head about experiencing life, and all you gain is information that draws you away from actually experiencing it. Do you see? The manual for living has never been written and never will be. You “write” as you go, but you’ll never be tested because life cannot fail, no matter how much you cram for it.

Let the words of your experience disappear so that each moment contains a blank page on which you will write anew, a life whose only expression is wonder and awe. You won’t be tested, but what you experience will be “crammed” full.
