The basis of all religions, all spirituality, is to separate you from the form (consciousness) you think you are. That is, to free you from any connection that hooks you to mind and body. Your mind makes a compelling case for form and weaves itself into every aspect of life, making it challenging to “unhook” and recognize that something much more profound and mysterious is the real essence of your existence. The more you want, the more you think about getting, and the more you get, the stronger the pull into mind and body. YOU are more than any thought your mind conjures, but your mind will keep on inventing grandiose and profound form-filled scenarios to keep you, the finite, from knowing YOU, the infinite. Solution? Think less, believe less, and lo, YOU emerge.

Separation is uniquely “I” (ego) based. That is, whatever reasoning or beliefs you adhere to, whether religion, politics, nationality, gender, ethnicity, social status, education, etc., you are the sole source of separation and any discord you sense is with that which lies outside your point of view. Furthermore, those who subscribe to your separation (agree with you) do not make you “one” with them. It just feeds your ego with the security of numbers, e.g., “look at all those who feel and believe as I do. I (we) must be right.”
Your “truth,” as it is bandied about in spiritual speak, is not truth if in any way it separates you from another, regardless of any moral code you subscribe to. Oneness is love, and love is without reason of any kind. Sinner or saint is not distinguishable. Love is our core and thus surrounds us all.

Give way to the mystery that is the foundation of your experience. Embrace love instead, and whatever unfolds, it will carry you through. Lighten the load of all that you feel you must shoulder, especially the burdens of heavy thoughts and resentments. The less you have to think about, the less you have to fear.
Ease, always, into life with your wits, kindness, and smile. Life will smile back.

Don’t disassociate “vibrational match” from judgment. It’s easy to blame others for your unease with someone of differing vibrations, but if you look at it, it’s judgment. Humans are masters of the crutch. That is forming excuses to justify their moods by pinning the reason on someone else’s “low vibration,” as it is referred to in new-age speak. Do you see? It’s just a crutch that turns you away from looking at you and turning you into a wisher of life instead of a live-er of it.
Stars collide with other stars, creating beautiful new cosmic formations of unparalleled beauty and wonder, and these events enhance the universe. YOU are higher than any star; YOU are the universe that holds them all. No “vibration” is a low vibration except in your mind that fails to recognize how vast YOU are. In other words, what you think is the weakest of all vibrations. Run around looking for vibrational matches, and you will experience a dull and unfulfilled life. Crash into other “stars,” and creation with all its beauty and wonder becomes your experience. It’s all up to YOU or your mind. Let it be YOU!

The “best” never comes. It just is, and it is right now. It’s not how you view it that makes it so. Your view is fraught with beliefs, judgments, prejudices, conjectures, hopes, and dreams, so much so that actual awareness of “what is” rarely happens. Seeing has no voice, no mind, and no description, and “the best” is always right now, right where you are, and it is oozing with beauty. And why wouldn’t it be beautiful? YOU created it and, well, YOU are the best!

Oneness with now is free of any want for something else. In other words, the ultimate living is life, as is.

Truth is without memory or imagination. That is, it only exists in the present, where all that you think, believe, and hope for is but a remembrance or wish for something that is no longer real or that has never been real, and neither can be a part of “now” except as you sully the moment thinking of them.
For humans, brilliance is a mind full of knowledge, acquired over a long life of experience and learning, dreams fulfilled and unfulfilled, neatly warehoused in the mind. For Gods, truth is not sought or remembered; it is lived in the only place it can be. Right here, right now. Oh, and by the way, YOU are Gods.

The past is unfixable, the future unattainable. A single thought of either transports you from the intimacy that only exists where you stand at this moment. Look only to now, and you will never be without love and the peace afforded only in the present.

The love, joy, peace, etc., you imagine in the future is not real and never will be. If the heart that dreams of future qualities such as these is not all of these things now, they do not exist. You can lose yourself in a future that will never be, and always be hopeful of such things, or you can be those things now and tend to what is rather than what is imagined. YOU are real, “what is” is real, but only in the present and entirely without thoughts of what might be.
Love has no future. It cannot be made up, characterized, or achieved. It moves about as you move about, and all that is NOW is its extension. Be present, and you are love (joy, peace, etc.).

There is no learning process for awareness, just as there is no citing recipes for delicious dishes to a hungry child, expecting that doing so will satisfy their hunger. You must unlearn and be present to what is, without the narrative your “knowledge” wants it to compare to. Do you see? Your mind wants to add to, replace, layer on top of what’s already learned, and evolve into the latest and greatest version of awareness, expecting that, somehow, in the “education” itself, “milk and honey” flows and the “promised land” is reached.
Nothing you know, now or ever, will make you aware. You stand in “milk and honey.” Only your mind has you looking elsewhere for it! Look no more, you’re already here.
