What is will always be real. Not because of anything you think, but despite what you think. “What is” is unalterable, but you can miss out on it because of wishes and desires you foster otherwise. All that you know, dream, believe, hope, want, etc., is a detriment to the real. When your mind is clear, life is clear. Embrace, without thought, the day!

Honor your experience by accepting it as yours and without the desire to alter it in any way. Desire is the ire of reality.

Before any choice, there is an instantaneous “knowing” that precedes it. The intuitive voice speaks to us all and comes without equivocation. That is, in an instant of knowing no choice is even present until your mind puts one there, and then there is confusion, debate, analysis, and the stress of not knowing what was absolute in a previous moment. Do you see? It is rare for humans to realize that what they think is never intuitive. Thinking overrides the intuitive with pre-conditioned gobbledygook stored in a mind that must insert it into every facet of life.
Living is not something you need to think about, but until you regain your lost sensitivity to that inner voice that always speaks before the fray of mind natter, you will serve one or another (choice), and still, never “know.” Listen to “it” speak!

Give yourself to each moment you find yourself in, especially those you typically react to because of anger, sadness, or offense. Be grateful for every exchange your human endeavor provides, and thank whomever you encounter for it. Every encounter is the light of your soul and the crack into which you glimpse eternity and something far more profound than emotional, human reactions.
Humans have so much, but dilly-dally in the small, benign, and extraneous, and create silly apparitions that follow them around the whole of their lives. Don’t let a single “thank you” be unsaid. It is the key to a panorama few will ever experience! Be one of them.

Look inward to that inner SELF that holds for steadiness, calm, and truth, not for a fictional, mind-made self that relieves you from you. You can live life or make one up, as most do. What YOU are doesn’t care one way or the other, but your mind does, even though it is your mind that makes up the stuff, designed to perfect its superficial creation, e.g., what you think you are.
In other words, your mind needs to get out of its own way, but that’s a tough one because it also thinks it is the knower of the way. So…, stop knowing and peer deeply into the silence that holds “what YOU are.” What you discover will surprise you, but I can’t tell you what it is because no mind, including mine, knows.

You lose so much in life because of how you rate it; we all do. Life is impervious to human gradation and moves into every channel of existence with the kind of ease and grace everyone of us should emulate. Living and judging never mix because the slightest judgment taints a lot of purity. Mystery is life, and judgment is its nemesis. You can live with one but not the other. Life never fails, nor do you or anyone else. Besides, “grading” lifework is tedious and cuts into all kinds of adventure you could be experiencing, otherwise. Go, have some fun!

Awareness is an embrace of eternity, a nudge from the infinite to move and bend when the slightest hint is offered. It gathers no reason, nor does it offer any. Awareness is always upon your shoulders, but its only reconciliation with human thought is when all thoughts are absent, and you bend freely to its touch. Look without seeing, see without looking. The nudge of eternity beckons your stillness.

The greatest challenge to awareness, and thus, few ever experience it, is accepting people as they are. Not in the “empathetic” way most pay lip service to, e.g., “walk in another person’s shoes,” or “they’re just not at my level of spirituality,” etc., but in recognizing that the force of light shines in us all equally, all the time. When you are busy looking at differences, you will always miss the light, and that is a darkness of your own making. YOU are the “shine” in light; the energetic force that permeates all of existence. If you are on, everyone is on. Give everyone a break. That is a “break” from your shading.

Awareness, enlightenment, and awakening are elusive because human conditioning has us convinced that learning and searching are the way to them; thus, any of the above is a procedural effort. That is, the “process” of “learning to become” becomes the object (awareness, enlightenment, awakening, etc.) initially sought. Meanwhile, “the sought” requires no learning, searching, or process at all; it simply waits patiently for you to come home to silence. Come home; it is the only place of peace, joy, and love, and it is the long-needed rest from a journey to nowhere. Well, nowhere but here, now.

The side you take is inseparable from the side not taken, e.g., heads or tails are forever bonded by the coin upon which they are forged. Only your mind separates and makes one “side” the whole, and the loss in such an exercise is wealth only “wholeness” provides. “I am right, and you are wrong” is the disease of ego and separation from the very essence of oneness and awareness. Judgment cannot happen where no opposite (side) exists. Seeing this side or that separates you from the whole, and that is a separation the “whole” can ill afford. Heads or tails? Don’t make that call!
