Weakness in others is always more apparent than strengths, as we are conditioned early on to be aware of our own, making it easy to point out in others. However, “pointing out” is a deflection from yourself and presumably a haven from others’ discovery that “what you point at” is what you are. You create those you attack just as you do those you uphold and praise.

Creative power is the same either way, but only you disguise one over the other. Are you beginning to see where “division” comes from? It’s not out there in the noise of so-called “weakness.” It’s in what you call your strength. Create and love your creations without distinction; all of them! Love of all heals all.

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.

The desire to understand is, in itself, an obstacle to understanding. It wraps things up in descriptions, rules, expectations, and processes that become the focus of fulfillment, all of which can never be because wants and wishes live in the future, which does not exist.
You will never understand as long as you focus on understanding. Life will confound every desire you have with present-moment reality and keep you ever so, the more you try to replace it with something else you believe is better.
What is is incomprehensible, but it is real. What YOU are gets it because IT, too, cannot be understood. IT can be, however, experienced in the quiet acceptance of present reality. Nothing is more exhilarating!

Your body has the sensory equipment to detect millions of bits of information each second, but your mind (consciousness) can only process maybe forty bits per second. What happens to the rest, and what is held in consciousness and why? When you wake up each morning, where have “you” been? The all-important “I” only appears upon waking up, but where was it, and what was in its place while you slept? The “Self” spoken of by so many spiritual gurus is “what is” while you are asleep and unaware of the conscious self you refer to as “I” while awake.

We speak of expanding consciousness, but your mind is incapable of that. All your mind can do is alter what it is conscious of. In other words, what is it that sleeps without any awareness of body or mind? It is the only question worthy of answering, and only you can do it.

Look at your conscious filters. Does your mind stream information that sounds like a CNN, Fox News, newsreel, a religious sermon, righteous indignation, a political cause, a reality Television show, gossip, video game, etc.? Forty bits of information is all you get unless you rediscover “what YOU are” that silently takes in everything. Since “IT” has no bodily limitations, why would you waste a single bit of conscious information not connecting with IT? Silly question?

The dream, expressed or sought, is not living. Your dream of the world only happens when you are present as it happens, transparent, and entirely free of any aspect of it you wish to change or believe otherwise. For most, transparency manifests as surreptitiousness. If I express my life eloquently enough, attempt to go through the motions I profess, etc., no one will see my hypocrisy.

There is no path to awareness through your mind. There is nothing you can do, think, or say, and nowhere you can go to unmask “what YOU are.” Living your dream is what is right now. Assuming it can or should be something else is “the” only nightmare you will ever encounter. Reality is not about you; it is YOU, and it shows most clearly without the mask. I see YOU; truly amazing!

You can act surreptitiously to make your experience appear other than it is, but you live a hell of your own making in doing so. Life passes by those who try to make it what it is not, and what it is not is anything you think, believe, or even know it is.
Unmasking is awakening, which is “awareness” that your finite mind cannot contain the infinite. YOU are ever-present, silent, strong, and without guile, e.g., perfect. What you think is the antithesis of perfection and, thus, your limitation.
Know YOU and all else falls into the fleeting and unimportant, e.g., nothing else matters.

Let go of the narrative that this has been a stressful year. You’re here now, and it is clean, pure, and unsullied by anything you don’t think about. Every moment you live with awareness is unprecedented beyond anything you compare it to from the past or make up about the future.

There are wonders to experience in the most routine and imposing human activities if you detach from those activities and any collective narrative that espouses them. “Know thyself,” and all that’s left is love and mindless abandon that allows the world to show itself in ways you, otherwise, could not fathom. It’s an incredible day; “let go” and enjoy it.

Most searchers are impulse buyers. That is, they have an idea of what they seek and pay the price that such a search requires. Do this or that, and call me in the morning, and if you don’t get the results you’re looking for, you’re doing something wrong. Next, let’s try this, etc., etc.
Few, if any, pay the price to know themselves. That is, “what they are” that lies beneath the attachments to the world driven by bodily desires. You were born without attachments and no awareness of your own body. What were you, then? Do you wonder?

The only thing worth knowing is that which cannot be bought or sold. Paradoxically, it cannot be told either. The price of “knowing” YOU is detachment from desires, safety, security, comfort, and all the other things your body uses to hook you to the world. However, the price you’ve paid for such things is high, and the sellers, who guarantee results if you do as they say, are relentless in keeping you subscribed.
Stop buying and give away what you have bought today or for just a few minutes or hours. The return is indescribable, and you and you merge with the infinite—all at no cost!

Ego switches from suffering to joy and back again with only one purpose. It keeps you attached to your body and all the stimulating forms the world presents, regardless of how you label them. Do you see? In “bodily” terms, they are the same, e.g., “This feels good I am happy; this feels bad my I am sad, etc.” Gottcha! Hook, line, and sinker.

YOU are not your body, mind, or consciousness. Form hears only the call of death. Awareness of “what YOU are” outside of form “is” life. Always life. In silence, you know this; in reality, YOU are this. Smile at your body, and all the nonsense it attaches itself to that all, eventually, disappears. YOU are forever!

The “middle way” described by Buddha is often mistakenly presumed to mean placement somewhere between this way or that, or that “truth” is found between the extremes many humans take sides on. It’s not that at all. The “middle way” describes a “path” that cannot be followed. In other words, there is no way. Most searchers are on a treadmill pounding out marathons of “ways” going nowhere, never realizing that the way they have taken is the reason. Do you see? If you think you know the way or buy into someone’s way, you’re lost and likely to run a long time before figuring out it’s not the way.

Get off the treadmill and go for a walk to no place in particular. Enjoy the sights and nix that conversation by the “stream of consciousness” in your head. You won’t find a “way,” but you might discover that “where you are, is an excellent introduction to what YOU are.
