Your search for whatever it is you seek is a coming from or a going to. Did you get that? Coming from is the past, and going to is the future. Neither exists. In other words, “what is” is all there is, and it requires nothing you seek in the imaginary to know its miracles. Life never passes you by; you do that, unwittingly, looking for it where it cannot be. Where YOU stand now is holy ground, not what you search for. Stand still and know the looker who looks. That’s seeing.

The act of searching implies that you have an idea of what it is you are searching for. “I am searching for enlightenment,” suggests that you have an idea of what it is, meaning you will recognize it when you happen upon it, and it will look like what you have already presupposed it to be. Do you see? This is not searching; it is accumulating confirmation for what you think you already know, and if you know what it is, you search for you won’t find anything else! Additionally, the thrill of finding (confirmation) will be short-lived, leading you back to another search for something to replace the last one.
Truth cannot be sought. It is dynamic and ever-transforming, and all you can do is be clear of mind and meaning and always ready for whatever shows up. You will never know, but you will be continuously surprised and amazed. It’s an exhilarating way to live!

The rarest voice in all existence is the voice that will never condemn another. Don’t satisfy yourself with the nonsense that you have it figured out and have discerning eyes and ears that know goodness from badness. YOU create it all, including your mind, that seeks reasons to dislike and separate from YOUR creations. Love’s embrace has no division, no mind or thought. Be “rare” and speak no ill. What you speak divides “you,” and love cannot have you divided against yourself.

Thinking is a by-product of memories, and memories, being of the past, never have relevance to the present, no matter how deeply rooted they are. You are never free to “newness” if you are thinking, e.g., subjugating, “what is” to what you remember. Awareness rests in a mind that knows nothing of the moment it is experiencing and only looks with wonder and awe at the undefined purity of now. No memory or thought will ever equal its beauty!

Humans have the unique tendency to point at things they desire or at people to look up to or down upon as if to steer themselves away from the inevitability of living their own lives. It’s like living by comparison instead of merely living. “What is” is completely transparent and fully exposed in the present moment. Still, in that instant, you desire something else, look to another for any reason, transparency is lost, and confusion takes over. What happens is not happening to you; never! YOU are happening to it, and if you give way to desires, beliefs, leaders, teachers, etc., you are accepting these “confusions” as your own, and you will be confused.
“What is” is all you can be, and accepting it is awareness of YOU as “all that is’s” creator. It’s pretty cool when you (don’t) think about it!

All that is, regardless of what it is, falls into a great big, beautiful tapestry that you create. That’s right, all of it and every little bit of it feels your embrace even when you label it unique, scary, good, bad, right, wrong, or otherwise. Existence is not full of disease, sickness, and evil forces battling good ones. Those are the fantasies of a mind disconnected from the majesty that created it, e.g., YOU. Did you get that? What YOU are “is” and always has been long before your silly mind decided it knew otherwise.
There is nothing you think “bad or good” that exists in your experience that is real. What is real is what no mind (especially yours) can contrive, and all of “that” is perfect.

All that is, all that YOU will ever be, is contained in this moment, and in whatever earthly form you happen to be experiencing, e.g., spiritual and physical are not separate. It’s all here now; right now. Do you see? We want so desperately for there to be more to existence than the physical life we are living, and, in the process, we miss living the life we have, which contains everything there is. Now is your perfection, your freedom, and the only place of love you can experience. So… experience it!

Resistance to that which you have judged unpleasant, untenable, unacceptable, un-beautiful, etc., and seeking only the opposites does little more than complicate your life and create unnecessary contraction from the only thing you can experience. That is, life itself in all its luster and nuance.
It’s not a question of knowing the good because you have experienced the bad. Turning away from any aspect of life makes you jaded, self-centered, and ever seeking that which isn’t and, consequently, that which cannot be. The good, as you define it, contains the seed of evil, just as evil includes the seed of good. Everything is bundled in reality, regardless of how you judge it. Life moves all by itself, as is; You, “as is,” can too. Just take your judgment and quest for preference out of it! Now, that’s how to live fully.

Destiny, as many speak of it, seems to be an elusive thing. That is, it is spoken of as something to discover and fulfill. Few speak of what is now as the fulfillment of their destiny. “It just has to be something else,” is the oft-used refrain. Is this not folly? The reality is that you “live” your destiny, not become it. There is no perfect place in life other than the place you are right now, and it is a fantasy that there is something other than what is. NOW speaks to “what YOU are” at this moment, in this experience, and it is not some presupposed “destiny” you’ve convinced yourself must exist outside of what is happening. Simply stated, if you’re breathing, you’re experiencing the only destiny you can.
Welcome to NOW; it’s the most excellent place in the universe, and best of all, YOU are IT! Embrace “what is”; that’s your reality, e.g., destiny!

Humans get stuck in the dilemma of “becoming,” which is an entirely different “action” than “being”: becoming is the endless search for what isn’t, while being is the complete embrace of what is, now. Do you see? Life is what it is, and it isn’t served up to you, me, or anyone for any reason. Still, that does not stop humans from making up fantastic reasons for living. Don’t be one of them. Be present without any concern that what is has any purpose, definition, or meaning at all. Live without discretion; that is, the discretion that is free of the conditioning that formed the basis of your discretion. In other words, don’t make stuff up!
Being in harmony with “what is” is being free of what you think is. Becoming is enslavement to mind-made processes, which always end in confusion; being is freedom from the “mind-made” altogether. Think less, be more! It is that simple.
