Awareness “knows” no truth. You see, it doesn’t need to. “It” already is, all that is. You, me, anyone, everyone attempting to define awareness is not the truth, but rather the tainting of it. Eyes open to truth are, simply, open.

It is a fallacy to assume you “see people as they are.” At best, you only see what you think, which is always wrong. What is not a fallacy is that what you think of others is the small, constant leak of your power and never-ending connection to the unreal. In other words, you cannot know “what YOU are” if you think you possess the mental tools to know someone else.
Life moves without reason or opinion, and its power is vast enough for all that is, whether you get it or not. However, it will elude you entirely if you think you actually “get it.” Stopping your leakage means containing the thought that you have the unique ability to see the leaks in others. All that leakage—what a mess! Do some cleanup on yourself.

The cost of awareness is your certainty, knowledge, beliefs, hopes, dreams, etc., which is far too high for most to pay. After all, illusion provides some semblance of safety, comfort, and security, so the “search” for something else is a search for “more” of the same, e.g., no search at all. It’s no different than paying a therapist to make you crazier.
If your so-called “search” does not upset every sensibility you possess, every single thing you think you know, you’re skipping down a road, “adding to” your illusion. Reality is unfixed, ambiguous, and upside down from anything you think it should be, and its only promise is that life, in all its forms, is mysterious, dangerous, unsafe, but wondrous in every way. In simple terms, “less (of all you think) is (really) more.”

If all that is is spiritual (and it is), then any position you take, belief you hold, and judgments you make are no more spiritual than others you disparage. Spirituality has nothing to do with your sense of right but everything to do with your sense of wrong. That is, loving the wrong you compare to your right.
Love and spirituality know no opposites. Do you?

Humans love to point at differences and use them to divide one from another. “My way or the highway,” and you are “less than” if you do not see it my way, and of course, “my way” is so pristine, rational, spiritual, and sound, etc., that “I” will always be on higher ground, than you so there can be no argument.
The collective “noise” is your noise, not your security or confirmation of a viewpoint. It is your separation from diversity. All lost because of a fixation on your point of view. It’s not worth it.
Harmony is lost to your perspective, and so too are love, peace, and connection. Forget the collective, else the loss to you will ripple through eternity. You will miss out on something breathtaking.

When you single out anyone as an object of villainy, non-virtue, evil, etc., you’re pointing out the criteria for your judgments. Do you see? All that is must exist “as is” without your or anyone’s analysis and commentary about what should or shouldn’t be, and if you can’t find beauty and grace in that, you’re the problem you attempt to point out elsewhere.
Present-moment awareness is not a moment of judgment. It is the embracement of something so spectacular minstrels sing from the heavens to usher it in. If you’re busy judging, condemning, etc., you miss the music, and it is sweet. Oh, so very sweet.
Let the music of infinity fill you instead of grumbling it into the noise of the unreal. Life is precious – all of it. Don’t miss it for anything, especially your judgments.

“We cannot solve our problems with the same thinking we used to create them,” Einstein said, but any thinking, coupled with the interpretive mind, which, by the way, is all thinking, is the same thinking that creates ALL problems. In other words, “thinking” will never solve a problem. What to do?
Listen to your heartbeat, each breath, the blood coursing through your veins, savor the myriad scents carried by the breeze without identifying them, love without criteria. “What to do” is right there in a whisper so loud it shakes the earth. Thinking’s purest form is when it isn’t thinking at all. Did you feel the earth move? You must not be thinking!

You were not born to “be” anything other than what you are without the noise of thinking, believing, and hoping you will be something else. Do you see? We are repeatedly told we can be anything we want to be, which is not true. What you wish to be is a figment of your imagination, conjecture, and wishful thinking. That is, a product of your mind that has never experienced “what you are” in the midst of “what is.”
Know thyself,” e.g., “what YOU are,” before embarking on an endless journey to something else, e.g., something unreal, and remember if you can think it, wish it, hope it, believe it, that’s not it. YOU, as is, right now, are the creative center of the universe. You don’t have to think about what that means. Just accept that nothing in all the heavens and Earth exists without YOU.

Wanting keeps the futility of “what isn’t” alive and “what is” from being experienced. Until what you want only looks like “what is” here and now, you will forever be hooked to the dream of non-reality coupled with your mind’s puny attempts to alter it.
What you want is “what is.” It may not match your mind’s idea of how it should be, but wanting something “other” will not make “what is” go away, nor will it alter present moment mystery and splendor. Don’t “want” for anything; the transformation you experience is that you have everything. You already have everything, but only when you forgo all thoughts that tell you otherwise.

Mystery explodes into awareness but only in the presence of the unexplained. A calm and expansion of view occurs when, with eyes wide open and thoughts at rest, all you see is unperceived by your mind. In other words, awareness directly correlates to the unknown and the unknowable but is completely lost to the “known.”
Your words, thoughts, and descriptions blind you; Awareness is not blind. Let “mystery” be without noisy speculation; awareness will silence all inquiries. The unknowable is the real “beautiful life!”
