Imposing your rules on life only serves to interfere with it, and not for the better. Imagine your fist raised against a river’s flow, demanding it change its course. Oh, the hubris to think you have any control over anything. Silly!
Observe “what is” with humility and quiet. Life un-interfered-with is not something you wrestle with by applying your version of what it should be. Instead, it is something to behold with reverence and awe.

The world lands in a place you likely want it to or not. You feel good when it does and not so good when it doesn’t, but it’s a fallacy to think you chose it. Our minds love to “think” they are on the right side of everything, but the mind confuses everything by its bifurcation of reality.
Everything you see, can’t see, and are incapable of any conceptualization is your creation, which emanates from an unseen source. Why allow a finite blob of gray matter to divide any of it into chunks of good or bad?
Know “what YOU are,” and reality will never elude you, and the vastness of infinity will never be, again, confined to mind-constructed good or bad. “All that is,” really is fabulous!

The most generous giving is giving up anything that creates a baseline for you to judge another. That’s pretty much everything you believe “giving” is. Maybe everything you believe altogether.
In other words, give nothing but yourself. Anything else is a compromise for not knowing “what YOU are.

In a world of choices, hate wins, too, and we all go one way or another. No “choice” ever needs to be made when you are love and you are love. Love doesn’t win; it just is, and there is no choice.

A fundamental aspect of quantum physics, called “uncertainty,” says that observation affects outcome, e.g., you can know either place or time but not both. In spiritual terms, observance of life is more impactful and less stressful than trying to force it into one direction or another. In other words, far more happens by observing than pushing for an outcome that is uncertain to begin with.
Stop trying to know what is going on. You don’t and never will. No one does, and everything you already believe you know about life should be put aside, as well, because life fools the one who thinks they have some control and unfolds beautifully, albeit mysteriously, for those who know they don’t. Observance has significant effect but is also a constant surprise.

What you focus on is your trouble. Inner peace comes with what you don’t focus on. Do you see? Nothing to “focus” on liberates your mind-filled warehouse, full of previous focal points, beliefs, rules, taboos, fears, and so-called “lessons learned,” giving you fresh, clear eyes to see.
Preconception is nothing more than recycled “old” information. It makes no room for newness or clarity, and humans are exceptional “preconceivers,” masterful junk collectors, and generally blind to anything that lies outside their rigid inventory of life lessons. Simply stated, reality does not show up in any mind.
It seems obvious what to do, but it takes work. Most warehouses (minds) are so full, and emptying is so daunting we close the door, turn out the lights, and give way to the next moment of “preconception.” Breathe deeply and go to work. Reality is too excellent to miss; anything you do to clear your mind will open you to unimaginable surprises and light!

YOU are neither subject nor object nor is anything you perceive as a human. YOU do nothing, yet are everything. YOU always enjoys the ride, but “you” may not. This is why it is necessary to override you with YOU. While you are searching for the perfect, end-all ride, YOU will enjoy the ride but never leave the fairground. So are you, you, or YOU?

Humility starts with YOU and ends with love. Do you know YOU? Only “love” knows. Peaceful day, Carl

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!

Be grateful not for what you have but for “what YOU are” that precedes everything long before you could identify with having anything to be thankful for. YOU are the “perceived” but, too, the perceiver. YOU and all that is, is good. Now, gratefulness.
