The “ego” you disagree with is the most straightforward way for you to glimpse your own (ego).  Ego, agreeing with other egos, turns into condescension fueled by the security that comes in numbers doing the same. What is always in play in either scenario is your ego and all ego ever wants to be is right and have its way. You might even call it the “dictator,” which is all of us when exchanging with other egos.

Can ego be overcome? No, but you can be quiet and not “engage” by agreeing or disagreeing with any other ego. Tough to do, but in the depths of silence lies the serenity of love, joy, peace, and kindness. Regardless of your thoughts, these things only show up when your mind is still, your lips are not moving (talking), and your heart is open. Can you be still? Yes. Will you? You have a chance if you don’t “think” about it.

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!”

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.”

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.

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.

Remembering is the alter-ego of forgetting. Forgiveness’s elemental power is freeing you to know “what YOU are,” but that can’t happen if you hang on to things that take you from it, e.g., all that you remember.
Sure, you can move on, but without forgetting, the anchor of remembering grows more massive, and the power of forgiveness fades under the weight. The loss is only yours, and it is an enormous loss. Forgive and forget; if you don’t, you’ll never “remember” YOU!

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.

Weakness in others is always more apparent than strengths, as we are conditioned early on to be aware of our own, making it easy to point out in others. However, “pointing out” is a deflection from yourself and presumably a haven from others’ discovery that “what you point at” is what you are. You create those you attack just as you do those you uphold and praise.

Creative power is the same either way, but only you disguise one over the other. Are you beginning to see where “division” comes from? It’s not out there in the noise of so-called “weakness.” It’s in what you call your strength. Create and love your creations without distinction; all of them! Love of all heals all.

Your search for truth, enlightenment, awareness, or whatever you call it is comparable to procrastination, which is little more than a purposeful pursuit of comfort and safety while fully aware that you are wasting time. It is never about what you may find. It’s about looking for what already is, which is scary because it’s right here, right now, and the safest way to put it off is to make stuff up that isn’t real, like your story of suffering, triumph, dreams, and ambitions.

What YOU are, buried beneath your procrastination, will never be told. IT can only be lived wholly and entirely without the comfort and safety your mind makes up. “Know thyself.” While scary, it’s a joy ride like nothing else you will ever experience.
