Quantum physics tells us that matter (particles) pop into and out of existence for no apparent reason or predictability. In to and out of human existence is much the same. It happens for no reason but begins the process of every “problem” humans face. Do you see?
Perhaps the greatest mystery and likely the underlying truth of your existence is what you were before you popped into it, and “what” will you be when you “pop” out? While a mystery, it doesn’t seem we had any problems before getting here. At least none of them were brought with us. So what is going on?
I have no clue, and neither do you or anyone else. However, it might be worthwhile to find what YOU are that existed before you existed here. Indeed, “IT” is still here, but perhaps knowing will point out the futility of identifying with the nutty things humans “believe” important.
I have repeatedly stated that “getting you out of your mind” is always a worthy effort, but I’ve done the opposite with this post. No apologies. I’m a “silly human,” too! “Popping out,” now.

Everything you have learned, know, believe, hope, dream, accomplish, successes, failures, etc., are barriers to what YOU are. You can’t “know” the unknowable, nor can you travel somewhere to find it or go through great suffering to pay for it. What YOU are precedes the observer; thus, it is unobservable.
YOU are the infinite out of which all mystery forms, and not a single thing you do as a human adds to It. Everything in human experience is trivial next to a flight into the unknown. Forgetting all you think makes you what you are offers a glimpse into the eternal and silences all desire to learn and grow.
Let “living” (without mind blather) take over your doing and getting. It’s less stressful and a whole lot more fun!

Awareness comes not in the “opening” of your mind. It comes in the closing of it. Your mind loves its platform, knowledge, and ground rules. Life knows none of these things, so it knows no bounds. Neither do you when you are silent and free from what your mind loves.

Being present has nothing to do with what is happening now and focusing on specific things in your experience. It is knowing “what YOU are” at the moment regardless of any particular happening and allowing it without judgment or commentary. YOU are the eye of the hurricane, e.g., the calm amidst the storm.
Ultimately, YOU are “happening” to all that is happening, and your presence quietly graces the infinite, which is now. Amazing!

We like to think we have some control over life through the choices we make and by developing memory skills and other mental processes to improve them when, in truth, we have no control at all.
When you are caught up in your well-practiced “choice-making,” consider every possible thing that could happen under as many circumstances as you can mentally muster. It won’t give you any more control than you already (don’t) have, but at least you are less likely to be surprised when what happens happens.
The reality of living is that anything you do through whatever process you came up with to do it will do. Your “choices” carry anything but your control. Make them (choices) or not; you still live a mystery. Besides, “surprises” are the fun of it.

Your world is as it is because you are continually talking about it being as it is. Do you see? Talking about how it should be, could be, or how you would like it to be reinforces what you think it is. Yes, you can change your talk and thinking too, but that only replaces one thing with another, and the world continues with your “talk” of “how it is.”
Turn it off altogether, talking and thinking. That will give the world a chance to unfold as it does and take you out of making assessments about its unfolding. It will also alter your mood to one of you, happening to the world rather than it happening to you. Best of all, however, is the quiet you experience when you’re not talking.

What most call “newness” typically includes the old descriptions into which anything “new” must somehow fit. Do you see? Humans fancy what they know, even though it stands in the way of what is real and “new.” When you act “because” (whatever your reason), you prevent the beauty of new reflection and undefined awareness from entering reality and, likely, do so under the guise that your old descriptions offer some safety and security. It’s being stuck in words, concepts, and definitions.
Live each moment without your priorly formed descriptions of them. “Newness” is all there ever is, but you will only experience it when you are cleared of all you “know.” In other words, what you know keeps you from knowing! Clear your mind, and your experience is “new.”

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?

Your “reasoning’s” most remarkable feat of trickery is in having convinced you that your perceived problems are more significant and scarier than they are and that your burden of carrying them makes you sensitive, caring, and humble. All your “reason” does is attach you to something unreal and unimportant and provide the reasons for yourself and others to keep you bound to your monsters. It’s not freedom, and it’s not humility. It’s fear, and fear always bows to your “reason” for the wrong reasons.
A “monster” indulged in for any reason becomes enormous, so stop indulging them. It will set you free, and like clouds, your monsters will quietly transform into blue skies.

The “road less traveled is still someone else’s road. Do you see? The road “best” traveled is the road “not” traveled. In other words, look before and behind you; if you notice any semblance of a road, you’re on someone else’s. What makes a real difference? Blaze your path and leave no trace that others can follow.
