“What is” speaks no language, and will never be revealed by someone else, including your own mind-speak. You “get it” or you don’t. Do you see? It’s like someone telling a joke. The punchline comes, and you get it, or you don’t. Either is okay, but humans who don’t get it begin the analysis, the judgments, and sometimes even agonize over it, all of which are mind-speak entrenching deeper “not getting it.” It’s just a joke for crying out loud, and so is mind-speak!”
Like the joke you get or don’t get, life is nothing, nada, unimportant. Yet “nothing” is everything, and the “speak” of “what is” is shrouded in mystery, brimming in wonder, and it surrounds you. You get it, or you don’t, but either way, nothing prevents you from living a wonder-filled life except you. Shh… Here comes another punchline.

The self you believe you are, that is the culmination of life experiences, learning, relationships, accomplishments, affiliations, heritage, even multiples of lifetimes, etc., is not your true self. That is merely painting by the numbers, and while YOU are high art, YOU are not a tapestry of things that have happened or are yet to happen.
All that is is because of YOU, not for you. All that is will always look to YOU and be grateful. The master’s hand, e.g., your hand, creates the masterpiece. Nicely done.

Give way to the mystery that is the foundation of your experience. Embrace love instead, and whatever unfolds, it will carry you through. Lighten the load of all that you feel you must shoulder, especially the burdens of heavy thoughts and resentments. The less you have to think about, the less you have to fear.
Ease, always, into life with your wits, kindness, and smile. Life will smile back.

Oneness with now is free of any want for something else. In other words, the ultimate living is life, as is.

Truth is without memory or imagination. That is, it only exists in the present, where all that you think, believe, and hope for is but a remembrance or wish for something that is no longer real or that has never been real, and neither can be a part of “now” except as you sully the moment thinking of them.
For humans, brilliance is a mind full of knowledge, acquired over a long life of experience and learning, dreams fulfilled and unfulfilled, neatly warehoused in the mind. For Gods, truth is not sought or remembered; it is lived in the only place it can be. Right here, right now. Oh, and by the way, YOU are Gods.

The past is unfixable, the future unattainable. A single thought of either transports you from the intimacy that only exists where you stand at this moment. Look only to now, and you will never be without love and the peace afforded only in the present.

Life is without motive, and living should be too. Ego has motives that thwart the very essence of living with something perceived that must be achieved. What you are, before any thought, is stillness and tranquility ungarbled by the difficulties of change and achievement, motivated by an insatiable ego that must have in order to be. Motives driven by desire require prior knowledge and thought, while life, in its purest form, is a mystery, unabated by anything you think it is or should be. Taking a step into living is not an act of faith; it’s an act of courage requiring stepping into the unknown and the unknowable. Think about it all you want, and you still don’t know.

Dwelling on the past makes you a slave to it, and it is the worst kind of slavery in that the past does not exist. In other words, any connection to the past is a self-imposed prison, virtually impossible to escape! Your mind loves the story of its suffering and trauma and embellishes it at every opportunity, making it, seemingly, real and thus, un-overcome-able. Your identity with it is little more than your story, and yet, in all the telling, it rarely goes away. So why keep telling it?
Regardless of what you have been through in the past, is it not true that right now, in the present, you are “through” it? Living now has no history. You always get a fresh start in the present, and right NOW is your freedom!

Awareness is not an evolutionary thing, nor is it a becoming over many iterations or educational processes. It is not found in self-seeking intentions, achievements, or effort. Awareness is just present, and the mind that pursues it will always overlook it by looking everywhere it (the present) isn’t. Your mind, all minds, for that matter, are in a state of perpetual movement, and until the movement of all thoughts ceases, you will only be aware of what you think, and no mind can “think” with the simplicity of creative silence. YOU are the Creator, but not because of anything your mind is moving toward. Awareness, quietly, “knows.” Be still; YOU “know” too.

Each day, this day greets you with arms open, the kiss of sunshine, nature, and all that burst forth in heavenly nuance, not because it has all of this life to give but because YOU are its Creator. The smile of all that is is your smile, your breath, your love. My smile and love in return are the only way I can share my gratitude with you for this, YOUR creation!
