The expectation of experience is the destroyer of experience. “What is” will never yield to your thoughts, wishes, or hopes of what it should be. The cliché that says “life will pass you by” never happens. What passes by is you, the human, trying to outthink “what is,” thus missing altogether the only thing you can experience. Do you see? Always embrace “what is” as is. The best wish in life is no wish at all.

Everything you do is a brush with life. What you supposedly choose is unimportant. Most of us stall out from the choices before us when doing anything would suffice. Engage with life but don’t overthink it. You cannot mess this up! None of us can!

Finding beauty in everything opens your mind to what your heart already knows. There is literally beauty and wonder in everything you experience, and all of it is worthy of your love and awe. Cease all thoughts about your experience, what it means, or why it’s happening. Just embrace it, all of it!! Regardless of the experience, it is really amazing!! Breathtakingly amazing!

Your mind, contrary to what you think, does not seek limitlessness. It seeks limitation, safety, and comfort. It loves to control and creates boundaries around things it cannot control. Your mind’s elemental starting point for all interaction is “I am right,” and “everything (everyone) else is wrong.” Switching off your mind puts you squarely in the place of present-moment experience where mystery and wonder are incomprehensible to anything your mind thinks is better. Go “mindless” today; If you aren’t thinking there are no limitations!

In spirituality, the beckon is to focus more narrowly, define more clearly, or, as it is now called, raise consciousness. However, the more detailed you become in your descriptions of life, the more wrapped up in your mind you become. In other words, attention to detail, in the spiritual sense, leads to loss of awareness. Quieting your mind removes your sense of reason from the picture of the life you uphold and thus clears your focus, letting more light show through. Under any lens, beauty is present, but if you are determined to sharpen your focus (reason), you will not see that much of it. Set your reason aside. Clarity doesn’t need it, and when it comes to awareness, neither do you!

Oneness is ubiquitous. That is, YOU are everything, and nowhere in all existence are YOU not found. Your mind (ego), however, separates you from everything but takes great pride in statements such as, “we are all one, etc.” Do you see? “You, separate from me, and I separate from you are one” is still separation. Being present is awareness without a definition of an “I,” seeking to merge with all. You cannot seek that which touches everything, and YOU are everything! That is, right up until you think you are everything. Oneness is not a thought; it just is. So let it be.

What you think, believe, or claim to know requires an ego to defend it. What YOU are outside of ego clings to nothing, which subdues an ego ready to fight. Know YOU; that is YOU, who has no description and is undefinable. YOU will not be found on a battlefield driven by egoic strategies but only on the pristine meadow of peace, solitude, and warm, gentle breezes. You’ll know it when you let go of what you know.

Water may conform to the outline of the bottle, but it will always be water. Like water, YOU are innately love, truth, and beauty, and exist far beyond the container that holds you. That is, who you think yourself to be is your containment, and it is not “what YOU are.” When the container (your idea of what you are) is empty, or perhaps missing, YOU will always and only be YOU.

There is no finding truth. It’s never lost. What’s lost is what you think truth is. Solution? Be present without thoughts.

The “balance” you seek can only happen when all the things you believe cause you suffering, or are wrong with you or life in general, are willingly experienced and embraced. That is, living completely without a single regret or wish for something other. In other words, your life is not you swinging from one high to another low and trying to minimize (balance) the span or intensity between them. It is you in the middle (fulcrum) giving cause, not balance, to the entire ride. Without YOU, nothing else exists; hence, no “ride” at all! That is the sweetest joy you can see and the only life you’re going to experience anyway. Have fun!
