Your thoughts, no matter how pure or grandiose, are the vehicles that carry you away from the present and, over time, distance you from something you knew long before you were able to think. Knowing before thinking is awareness, and you once stood alone knowing that everything in existence emanated from you. YOU are the creative center of the universe, but creation is not thought-driven. It is “knowing,” and YOU are the “Knower.” Your thoughts transport you far away from that. It shouldn’t take a lot of thinking about what needs to be done.

The past is where your judgments and reasoning were formed. It is the worst place to spend any time, yet your mind will work tirelessly to keep you there. Get present and simply be with the newness of each crystal-clear moment. The clearer your head, the clearer your experience.

Do you know what greed is? “Dear God, Universe, Great Giver of all that is, karma, etc.; I want.” Yes, greed is, “I want.” Don’t confuse your noble intentions with reality, and think that because you describe another version of something you believe is better, that greed is not the base of it. “I want” ties you to an imaginary reality, and the “good” you imagine is better than “what is” is judgment. YOU not only “have” it all, YOU are ALL. Don’t allow yourself to be divided by mind-based trivialities, e.g., what “I want.”
Look beyond your thoughts by silencing them. Peace and plenty, mystery and wondrousness beyond anything you could possibly want, lie within that silence!

It has been said, “We’re all bad in someone’s story.” I’ll add, “Perhaps even in our own.” The solution to “badness” is to transform your story into no story and let others be the tellers of whatever they want. What they tell is not “what you are,” and what you speak is interpretive, e.g., embellished, jaded, and maybe even untrue. You cannot “tell” a lie if you are busy living a life, as living quietly in the moment is free of interpretation. That is a life that cannot be shaped by stories you or others tell. So, go live; quietly!

Regardless of whose teachings you believe, you cannot know that they know anything more than you. Thus, your beliefs keep you from the experience of something few will ever encounter. That is, innocence or newness, unencumbered by ready-made beliefs, dogma, and how-tos that mask the real and blind your mind. The only clear thought is no thought, and as for beliefs? They’re the most blinding thoughts of all! Innocence is clarity, not clutter. Take this time, this moment, and clean your house. It will surprise you how spacious it is.

View the world and all its goings-on without your rules, regulations, reasoning, beliefs, judgments, and even resolutions. All those things obscure reality and imprison you with invisible walls that few ever climb over. Only your mind judges life, and life takes on misery because of it. Creation is pure, and all that it brings forth, including you, is born of that purity. Additionally, YOU are the Creator, and nothing you think will alter that. So why think at all? Don’t “think” about it; drop the reasons you think you must think. You’re going to love what you see beyond those walls when you do.

Taking responsibility for your life means giving up everything you believe has gotten you to where you are now. In other words, there is nothing to credit or blame for where you are. You’re here now, and that is all that ever matters in this pristine newness, unencumbered by a nonexistent past or future. You’re not in school or training, nor are you being tested and tried for some made-up purpose; most have deluded themselves into believing it is a necessary stepping stone to another delusion that takes you out of the miracle of this moment. You only have now, and it is what it is, and you are what you are, and no judgment or speculation will alter it or you. So why not embrace this moment with enthusiasm, zest, and a completely clear mind? It’s just more exhilarating if you do!

Your mind cannot connect with the divine, e.g., what YOU are that cannot be thought. Its only focus is “groupthink,” meaning conditioned and given by others. It is forever in search of like minds, like conditioning, confirmation, and security. What YOU are underneath the noise and chatter of thinking cannot be given, trained, thought, described, or searched for. IT just is, and until the “conditioned” is put aside, you will never know IT. That is, know YOU. Clearing your mind clears the way to the wonder of YOU. Nothing more spectacular in all the heavens!

What you think is the foundation of everything you consider wrong in the world, because it falls out of harmony with what you believe is right. What YOU are, outside anything you think or believe, knows only right. That is, “right” is not the opposite of wrong. Isn’t it interesting that “what YOU are” is not “choosing” a life to live but living life as is? And loving it by the way. Get your mind out of the way, and you can too!

Seeing what you “think” is the best way to override what you’re actually seeing. Life is not a palette of things you pick and choose from to grace your experience and fulfill your whims and fancies. It is everything emanating from the void (nothing) your head occupies. In other words, you can’t see what is seeing because what is seeing is the seen. Did you get that? YOU are IT; ALL OF IT. Seriously, everything you see at this moment rests atop your shoulders. Those are shoulders that have no head, mind, no descriptions, fancies, wishes, or dreams. Now, whatever you do in this moment of unfathomable creation, let not “thinking about it” be another thing you think you see. Just SEE.
