The rainbow colors appear separate when refracted (divided) through a prism but blend into whiteness (white light) when the prism is removed. Your mind is a prism through which all division takes place. That is your “colors,” whatever they may be, are you separating what is into little pieces of what isn’t, narrowing focus, and altering reality. Do you see?
Your mind is the divider separating all that is into preferential forms, e.g., good, evil, and all your variations. Removing your mind (silence) transforms you into ONE glorious light that shines on everything without separation of any kind. In other words, silence is your way to crystal clarity. When you give life your “undivided” attention (silence), nothing you experience will be without “enlightenment.”

You know, when you love life, suffering disappears. All things you judge right or not right give way to splendor, beauty, and myriad wonders all rolled up in “you,” wholly caught up in your experience. Stories, and all suffering, is stories lose their pizazz when living presently and in love. Close the book on your past or future. Living starts now!

The time to stop judging is when you feel most like doing so, which is all the time for most humans. Judging doesn’t put someone else in a corner; it just puts you more firmly in your own. Do you see?
You make the separation from others for little more than inane reasons that reflect learning, beliefs, prejudices, and various other follies humans wrap themselves up in. All at the cost of the innate characteristic everyone possesses to love “life.” That is life, which is all-inclusive of everything and everyone regardless of how you see things, e.g., every cause or belief you hold that takes you from your innate nature to love, including yourself.
In simple terms, you cannot judge and love. Not wholly and purely. It’s not the age-old narrative that you are judged as you judge others. No, it’s that your love drains from you when you do. Oh, and don’t condescend either, with the infamous diatribe that “they (whomever you judge) aren’t at your level of spirituality, education, or maturity. That’s just a sneaky form of judgment as well. All that’s left, really is “don’t judge,” ever!

What voice do you hear? Religious, spiritual, scientific, political, philosophical, psychological, etc.? It’s easy to tell if you’re honest, but most are not. For instance, religious and spiritual “listeners,” whose foundational principles might include “love thy neighbor as thyself” or “we are all one,” often spew venom at the listener with a scientific or political melody and vice versa. Do you see? The problem with hypocrisy is that few, if any, perceive their own while we all wreak of it.
Regardless of the multitudes who believe as you do and with whom you take comfort, your beliefs are not a “get out of jail free” card. Your “rightness” is also your condemnation. It’s easy to see if you look, but will you? Comfort and safety are hard to break free of. After all, everyone’s doing it. Just sayin’. Peace.

Psychology, spirituality, and religion seek to give identity to the “problem,” whatever it may be, e.g., neurosis, morality, sin, etc. Whether individually or collectively, identity all too often becomes the “excuse” for behavior rather than the path to healing it. Do you see?
“I now know what my problem is called, and that makes it okay or certainly not my fault because, after all, ‘the devil made me do it.’” All the while, the reality you project and dislike remains, and the ensuing story of this new identity (excuse) begins. The fact is you’re not the identity you have been labeled. You’re the real deal, meaning if you’re a schmuck, you’re a schmuck regardless of the reasons for being so.
It takes a lot of work to be angry, unhappy, rude, mean, unkind, unloving, etc. Having reasons for such states is not an excuse for not doing the work to overcome them. Own what you are, and if you don’t like it, fix it. You’re the only one who can. Transformation to reality happens within but shows its magic without. Resolve to show the magic only you have.

Shouting your position does little more than make you accessible to those at whom you shout. That is, you expose your vulnerabilities, and vulnerability arises from ignorance. It is not intellectual ignorance but the kind that has been taken over by your mind that refuses to see that YOU are other than your shouting attempts to project. Contrasted by “what YOU are,” outcry is but a mask you wear (we all wear) to hide the gulf that is not filled by anything you say, believe, dream, or wish.
“Awareness” only hears what YOU are and nothing you say. There is never cause enough to raise your voice or your ire. It’s always clear when “what YOU are” is in the foreground of your thoughts. There’s less shouting, too. What are you? I’d love to “not” hear.

What you believe is the demise of what is. It throws you into a false fantasy that what you don’t like now can be replaced by something you only imagine. Do you see?
The imaginary pursuit of “something else” takes you out of the present, which is real, and all there will ever be. To “believe” otherwise is to miss that. Don’t miss it! “Now” is too rich and beautiful to waste a second elsewhere!

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.

I can’t help what you believe. However, I can believe in nothing, which opens me to everything believed and not believed by you and everyone else. Mystery lives on without any particular emphasis (belief) that anything real came from a belief in it—just pure surprise.
What you believe is a low and restrictive form of living that clouds “what is” with delusion and fantasy and prevents you from embracing the all-inclusive spectacle that lies before you now. In other words, until you see “what is” right now, you will never see anything real, and your mind will always take over with something “other” to replace it. Believe it or not.

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!
