Truth exists only in emptiness. That is emptiness so vast that all you can do is look around in awe and wonder, stunned by its purity, certainty, and reality. Truth has no mind-made meaning, so it has no argument, and you or anyone else can’t deny or defend it. Your all-consuming reverence is your only connection to it. You cannot “think” truth. So, stop thinking!

The single most important thing you will ever do, your greatest act, is what you do right now in this moment. You don’t have to think about what it is or how to improve it, make it shiny and clean, or make it recognizable to vast crowds of adoring fans, news media, and YouTube. You don’t even have a choice to make. YOU, now, are the greatest show on earth, and while other humans may not notice, the infinite does, and if you listen carefully and quietly, you will hear its applause.BE-ing requires nothing but you; present!

Reasons don’t exist in living. They only exist in thinking, and thinking is shaded by the many colors you paint the world you think should be. You might even be said to paint by the numbers: the numbers you have learned that add up to the life you live and all the assessments you make about it, even though there are no “reasons” in living. Life is rich in colors, but they do not come from the palette of your mind. What you paint with reasons covers the masterpiece beneath them. Put aside your palette, and creation bursts forth in an array of beauty and wonder no mind can fathom! YOU, without reason, are the Master.

Contrary to the new age saying, “you get what you think about,” reality says, “you’ve got what you don’t think about,” and what you don’t think about is the wonder and mystery right in front of you, and it is unfathomable. In other words, if you’re “thinking” about something other than what is, even if you think you are thinking about what is, you fail to see what you’ve actually got right now in this moment. You forget “What is” because your mind is thinking about something else when “what is” is all there is.
“What is” is a living, breathing, dynamic thing that carries all the miracles, mystery, and wonder no thought or fantasy could ever contrive. Thinking destroys It because, in and of itself, thinking is not a living, breathing thing. Give “what is” your life, and it will live on through you and you through it. There is nothing more spectacular in the entire universe than YOU living fully NOW!

The most formidable mountain you will ever encounter is the one you imagine you must climb, and its summit is unreachable because you will always imagine something beyond, even more formidable. NEWS FLASH: Imagination is imaginary!
Where you stand now is not a peak you have climbed. It’s the center of the universe, and anything imagined, imaginable, or unimaginable exists because YOU exist. Do you see? Your mind is a player on a field it creates in a game that does not exist, and yet you give way to its rules, which change constantly. Your mind will play you to exhaustion unless you silence it with your silence. Quiet your mind and behold your creation. That is, ALL that is!

Awareness can only be experienced. You cannot possess it like a car, a house, or an education. Possession is the endgame of all searches, and “finding” what you seek is the end of awareness. Do you see? Fixation, attachment, beliefs, and ritual cause stagnation, and living, which is wild and crazy, mysterious, and uncertain, always takes a hit when you make a claim to any formula or particular way. The infinite cannot be corralled into the finite scope of your mind, and “what YOU are” first, before a single thought, is infinite.
If you must search, may it lead you nowhere; that, at least, is much closer to awareness than anything or anywhere you think you need to get otherwise.

You and you alone give life meaning! Don’t look for life to have meaning for you! We have it all backward. Humans obsess over finding reasons for the life they are living when, in reality, life lives us. Did you get that? Life lives YOU! Nothing exists without YOU. If there is a purpose for living, then YOU are the maker of that purpose! Do you see? There is nothing you’re supposed to be or do, nor is there a right or wrong formula for doing it, and nothing you experience has purpose or meaning because YOU give meaning to life. YOU do not need to seek life; life seeks YOU! So let it find you by dropping all your reasons for finding it.

I say this often, but it cannot be stressed enough. “YOU are the creative center of the universe.” That is, nothing exists that is not kissed by YOU, the Divine, the Creator! YOU infuse the very essence of life into the living, and nothing perceived or not perceived is without the unfathomable mystery YOU breathe into it. To know YOU is to know your creations. I cannot look at anything and not “know” YOU; notwithstanding, “I stand all amazed!”

As long as you believe you can derive answers from the life you experience and all the unique forms it takes, you will never have “peace of mind.” The only peace that comes through the mind is shutting off conscious thought altogether. In other words, “peace of mind” is a “mindful” myth. When your mind is still, something else takes over, and whatever that is lies beyond conscious awareness, extending into the infinite reaches of unspeakable beauty. You can only experience such beauty, but not as an expression of your mind and its thoughts; rather, wonder and awe untethered from any thought whatsoever. Be quiet so that forces beyond your imagining can play on a field of no thing. There is no possible “peace of mind,” but unimaginable peace can be found in silence!

Take the whys out of living, and you will end up with a life. A life free of the mind-made nonsense that blinds you and everyone else to unfathomable beauty. Besides, whatever your mind comes up with is made up and pales in comparison to what is unspoken, unknown, and perhaps unknowable. “Not knowing,” resting in a sea of silence, is the purest form of “knowing.”
