Your World, Intuitively
Everything you think or believe fades into unimportance when you know what (who) YOU are. That realm of “unimportance” is the blossoming of all that is beautiful, and yes, it’s ALL beautiful.
Be grateful; the ultimate reality of your experience is like being tickled all day long.
Awareness is seeing exactly “what is” without any thoughts or explanations accompanying it. One who “sees” (is aware) “knows” instantly and is clear before any thought enters into it. In other words, any explanation of “what is” is its undoing.
You could say reverence is the doorway to “knowing” what is that otherwise is unknowable.
Love cannot be expressed by hating those who don’t love what you say, think, believe, or do. Love’s only equal is everything, and “everything” is necessarily the only emanation your love should manifest.
What you believe is coming to you or that you think you are going to is ego luring you into a hole that the past has already dug. Anywhere but here is where ego wants you to be, and sadly, most are “anywhere but here.”
As wise ones have said, the ground you stand on now is “holy ground.” Solid, firm, and real. Will you undermine it with yesterday’s unfulfilled expectations or tomorrow’s dreams of what isn’t? Stand where you are and be present. Nothing is more evident than “now,” and you can always deal with that!
Your greatest limitation, everyone’s that is, is not what you fear but what you believe. Beliefs are an assault on any possibility of being present, and the filter straining out the real so that the unreal (beliefs) remains intact. Clarity is clear, and what you hold in your mind, believe, or don’t believe, think possible or impossible smudges the window of reality. Awareness is only known through optics without the taint and dinge of what your mind wants you to believe is.
Lose them (beliefs), and the window’s new transparency lets in new light that exposes any fear as a shackle to living more abundantly. I promise, then again, don’t “believe” a word I say!
The great truth is that what you believe to be true is not. Beliefs elevate doubts and fears. They put them on a pedestal, becoming unbreakable chains that tie us to a sober life. Has any experience you’ve ever had required belief to come before it?
In every search, many questions arise. The important ones will always be those that question what we believe.
Drop what you believe. The less we believe, the greater our awareness. Less truly is more, and ultimately, nothing is everything! If you must believe, believe everything. Yours truly is “The road less traveled” Let this settle.
Your beliefs are not good indicators of what you indeed are. They are better indicators of what you are not
What we like to call change, for most of us, is really an adding of layers to the onion rather than removing them. We tell ourselves “let me do this, accomplish that or go here instead of where I am, and everything will be better.” It won’t; please get that!
Most of us are full of layers that are little more than avoidance of real-life experiences we find ourselves in. We believe that we can change our circumstances simply by running from them and that, somehow, will unravel us but really it just winds us up even tighter.
What you don’t experience fully becomes the nature of your experience even when you think you have changed. What you don’t take care of now becomes a layer; a full-length overcoat that is heavy and burdensome!
Get good with where you are; be honest with it and never let yourself be fooled into believing you are not its creator. You can run from creation, but you can never run from yourself, e.g., “the Creator.” Live where you are because “where you are” is the only place life exists.

I have a site on Facebook titled “Spiritual Intuition” where I post a daily comment both in the morning and later in the evening. I have also been invited to share the posts on a few other sites that are looking for spiritual or inspirational content, as well. Occasionally I get comments or feedback and on some occasions I even get a question or request to expound further, which in most cases, I do right there in the comments to the post.
On one such occasion I was asked a question that I feel would be more appropriate in a blog post. I’ve hesitated to respond to this particular question because my answer is of such a nature that it might be thought offensive or flippant and I really don’t want that to be how it is seen nor do I ever want to offend someone who is asking questions in a most sincere way. I’ve decided to proceed anyway but with the disclaimer that this is not intended to be a put down in any way.
First the post I put on Facebook and then the question that followed (http://fb.me/vWecbJXx).
My post: “Nothing, no one is orchestrating your experience. Stop tying yourself to reasons that have no reason.
The best excuse for living is that you already are. Get in to it! Awesome day! Carl”
Now the question: “Throw light on the matrix theory, some day, Carl. And also, how do you see it….in the light of the above quotation. My best wishes.”
Dear friend,
For me and in the simplest terms, I have no experience with the “matrix theory” and so in that sense it does not exist for me. Having said that, I don’t think about it at all other than in the context of something I call “junk food for the brain.” It is fascinating to listen to others speculate and expound on the complexities of such things and, of course, the movie “The Matrix” is a creative wonder that captivated the minds of millions of people including me. Still, I honestly don’t think about it nor do I find any discussion of it germane to my experience as a human being.
If “it” (the Matrix) is, then for me, “it” simply is and I am good with it. I often tell people to overcome and put aside their unique and, or their specific beliefs about things, as these are what binds us to an experience that is limited and often frustrating. In other words, I believe everything or nothing which is ultimately the same thing. It simplifies the experience of life by taking all the worry and concern out of it and leaves “it,” as I see it, pretty open to “all that is” which is, well, “all that is.”
My space alien friends and conspiracy theory friends and so many others who dwell on these things seem so wrapped up in the dangers and seedy underbelly of forces that are out to control us and take away our freedoms and life experience as we now know it and I still can’t get myself to alter any focus on anything other than this incredible experience I am constantly embraced by. I do love a good mystery and I am in constant aw and wonder at the creative ways the human mind can conjure all these things and yet at the same time who’s to say that any of it is untrue? Certainly not me. All I can offer is that I have no experience of it and you might already have heard me say that “nothing exists without our experience of it.” “Does a tree falling in the forest make a sound?” Not if I didn’t hear it. End of story…for me anyway!
As of yet, my post, which spawned your question, still holds, e.g., “nothing, no one is orchestrating your experience.” My experience has included the absolute awareness, and I often say, “it” is the one and only thing I know for sure” that “I am not this body.” I don’t know, believe or subscribe to anything else except this. I am not this body and this includes the mind, heart, feelings, consciousness and anything else we ascribe to human form. We experience “it” but we’re not “it.” We are something else that transcends human form and for me I couldn’t begin to describe it in terms the human mind could comprehend. So I don’t. I just accept that “something” is having this incredible human experience and what “it” is loves it completely without question or judgment.
Some may see this as incredibly simplistic and it is but oh my…what liberation! I don’t worry at all about the masters of the matrix or what the illuminati is doing to the world, or whether the crazy gods whoever they may be are doing to the world I create and experience. They, whoever they are, haven’t taken over any part of my experience yet so I’m living the dream. I take that back; the dream is living me!
I think I’ve answered the second part of your question. It doesn’t have any effect on my experience other than to provide a little mysterious fun (junk food) to my already wild imagination and as for what I get to be aware of in this experience, the matrix, the boogeyman de jour or the latest conspiracy theory, could not come close to imagining or affecting. My excuse for living, is, simply living. I love it all!
Thanks again for asking the question and bearing with my response. This has been fun for me and hopefully for you as well. All my best and please never hesitate to comment further, share your thoughts of this and many other subjects, or rebut my remarks. Life for me is pretty non-complex. I actually see it as a vacation; that is, a vacation of the Gods from the other things Gods do (this also means I think you’re God). Vacations are for relaxing, recharging, having fun and most of all not taking anything too seriously. I’m pretty good at it! All my love,
Carl
