The “search” most embark on is more of an attempt to return to the safety and security of the mythological garden where all is provided and mother, father, and angels stand guard over you. Peace and plenty, no toil or labor, lion aside the lamb, and milk and honey to your heart’s content, e.g., “safety” is the search. You may find some safety and security in such a search, but you will never really know what YOU are. That requires the “thistles and the thorns” living ensures. As “myths” go, Adam and Eve were not cast out of the garden – they were cast into it.
Your life is your garden, and it is full of treasure, only hidden by your thoughts of something else. Let go of the security of “home” that once was, and you will find that YOU never left.

You are not your body, mind, or anything else you think or have heard otherwise, and the intellect of all humans combined will never know or describe what it is YOU are outside all intellectual constructs. Do you see? YOU stepped into human form for no other reason than YOU could and did, and as important as you believe this experience to be, in the grand scheme of things, which YOU are the author of, it isn’t. Lots and lots of stuff is the content of living, but it is not the makeup of “what YOU are,” in the eternities.
Outside all you think essential and relevant in human experience, hearing the whisper of “what YOU are” is the engine of infinity and awareness that YOU are the creative center of all that is. Know that “YOU” and you will know only love’s embrace, that is, YOUR embrace.

Life is complete in every way, no matter how you live it. It has no rules, rights, improvement programs, or answers to your questions. It just shows up every moment and without explanation, but filled with adventure and surprise, creating a stage upon which you can live, complain, or make stuff up.
Everything in existence rests upon you at this moment, and the life provided stage upon which you perform. Every prop you need, direction, characters, and crew appear for the performance of a lifetime, only you can give. Best of all, if you’re engaged now, the entire universe stands and applauds.

Wanting is not a driver of getting. Seriously, can you think of anything more grand and wondrous than the breath you are taking right now, your heart beating to a cosmic rhythm, and the essence of all that is coursing through you? How could you “want” anything more incredible than the sun on your face or raindrops tapping your window, a lover’s kiss, a friend’s warm embrace, or a smile?
When you pander to the universe, as we are oft told to do, you give way to the mundane, the selfish, and the unreal. The ultimate joy lies beneath anything you could wish for, and it quietly awaits you to be present with all that you already have, all that you already are. Simply, YOU have everything, and “having” everything means YOU “are” everything! YOU are “joy,” but only when you “want” for nothing!

Your search for truth, enlightenment, awareness, or whatever you call it is comparable to procrastination, which is little more than a purposeful pursuit of comfort and safety while fully aware that you are wasting time. It is never about what you may find. It’s about looking for what already is, which is scary because it’s right here, right now, and the safest way to put it off is to make stuff up that isn’t real, like your story of suffering, triumph, dreams, and ambitions.
What YOU are, buried beneath your procrastination, will never be told. IT can only be lived wholly and entirely without the comfort and safety your mind makes up. “Know thyself.” While scary, it’s a joy ride like nothing else you will ever experience.

Right now, in this moment, you have everything. That is, NOW closes the door on any journey you think you are on. Why would you squander present moment effort trying to be somewhere else? Now is where it’s at; the question is, where are you at?

Nothing new or special is coming your way and for that, be grateful. You have plenty to experience right now at this moment that has never existed before and will never exist again. Give the present your all, and you will never want for anything else. “NOW” is your treasure.

You don’t deserve anything in life. “I deserve” puts the responsibility of your life and your experience into the realm of someone or something providing it for you, and it is based on wishes that what is happening is not to “your” liking. Do you see? It is a dominant lament of humans that “living” in and of itself is not enough.
Life, instead, “deserves” everything you can give it without purpose or reason. Your best is the unjudged action you take to live each moment as fully as possible, and “who deserves what” is never a consideration. “I deserve” cancels, “I AM.” YOU create all that is until your mind mucks it up with “I deserve.” Don’t muck it up!

When you are without expectation everything falls perfectly into place.

The motive force of all creatures, including humans, is survival. However, humans have an evolutionary nuance that allows them to make up what they consider essential to survival. Do you see?
All the stuff humans make up about human existence is also all they find wrong with it. You came here with nothing, and you will leave with nothing, and everything you uphold, believe, and gather between arrival and departure is nothing.
You have so little time to experience this miracle of life that anything you wrap yourself up in as important blinds you to its treasure. Living requires no opinion, causes, or inventory whatsoever. You know how to live. Stop listening to all the babble humans make up about how to do so! You’ve got this.
