If you determine that there are things to do, places to go, etc., in your quest to know yourself, you will encounter both but will not find anything but more traffic and noise through which you must navigate, leading you ever farther from what you seek. The discovery of YOU happens when the search ends. “Be still, and know that YOU are God.” You can do that right now.

Do not replace what you think you are with something someone else says you should be. What you “think” and what others think is an indulgence of ego (yours or theirs) that seeks to “fit” where it can’t. Finding “what you are” requires not a single thought nor any form of ego (which is all thought and imagination). What YOU are precedes ego, and ego is not allowed in the hallowed ground of YOU! Get out of your mind.

Don’t complain about what you think makes you a victim. If anything, complain about yourself finding the time to give a shit! Stop giving a shit! You’re not a victim unless you, all by yourself, make it so.

Take a deep breath and hold it. Now ponder for a moment that you and only you could breathe the breath you are holding. No one, no thing, will ever know what you know at this moment; this fully breathed, but breathless moment is all there is. You alone are life. Exhale…

Are you living life or are you looking for reasons (messages) in the things you experience (live)? I hope it’s “living.”

If your lips are movin’, your ego is groovin’. Everything you say, regardless of eloquence, beauty, or intent, is ego. Even what you write, think, or dream is ego. Now, when you get this, once and for all, you will begin to see the miracle of everything instead of the narrow interpretation your ego allows. Speaking and thinking less broadens awareness.

Loving “you” is the best of you. No one does “you” better than you, so why would you relinquish “you” to the dream of being a better you? Or worse, being someone else. There are no failures in life. Even when you are fixated on being something other than “you.”

The ability to think makes us human. The ability to not think makes us Gods. Whaddya think? Careful; trick question.

Happiness requires no self to be. That is, no self that feeds on things it believes cause happiness. Love and joy are the same. All these things defy cause and effect. There is no cause for love, joy, or happiness. They just are.
