Collective consciousness is “out there,” and if you feed it, you are its “monkey.” That is, not unlike your own “monkey mind,” screeching and howling to a constant beat, whether you consider it good or annoying, plays into the field of what new agers call the collective. And the collective mind is no different than the individual mind, e.g., egoic. Look at the side you’re on in any collective cause, and its only theme is your cause is the right one, and everyone else is wrong. Your added voice-only fuels the already noisy, vitriolic rhetoric spewed at those whom you and your collective consider wrong.
Love loves without condescension, judgment, or moral superiority, and always with transparency. It has no ego and, therefore, cannot be joined to a collective ego. We are witnesses to a lot of ego in the “collective,” but it is not the collective that is sick. It is you and me and anyone (everyone) who takes a side and forsakes love in doing so. Love it all, including “us” and especially “them,” or be another monkey in an endless, unwinnable, clamor for rightness. Isn’t there enough noise without adding yours? Besides, the “quiet” is so lovely.

If the side you take doesn’t include all sides, you’re on the wrong side. Love has no spoils, colors, creeds, religion, or division. In other words, the only side to love is just love.

You cannot play catch-up with what you define as wrongdoing. Especially, long past wrongdoing. Reparation is an incalculable burden that, whether you experienced it yourself or ancestral, does not exist, and that which does not exist has no need for repair nor could it. Forgiveness is the past forgotten. Only your mind keeps your “teeth on edge,” and fuels the flames of nonexistent memories. You are free only when your mind “cleans up” the fiery mess it holds on to. It’s the surest way to your own inner peace.

Life, for most of us, is a formulation, a description based solely on conditioning and the ultimate acceptance that “this is how it is.” The range is extensive and varies from “I matter; I don’t matter, I’m good; I’m bad, etc.,” but it’s not which side of the range you see yourself or others on. It’s that you embrace a range of any scale at all! Do you see? As long as you hold to your description of the world and feed it with all the supporting “collective evidence” that you are right, you will always be bound to your judgments, and sadly, miss the beauty before you. In other words, you cannot rise above what you believe.
You can, however, cease to believe anything and come to know only the splendor that cannot be judged. Such “splendor” is everywhere and in everyone. Yes, even YOU!

Freedom is not what you think. The inalienable has no definition and is no possessor of the free. If you “think” you have a “right” to anything you believe qualifies as freedom, you are no longer free. You are a slave to your thoughts; we all are. However, you will always have “what is,” and that requires nothing from you but living it.

If the thoughts that emanate from your mind drive a search, or process, formula, etc., it is objectification. All your mind is capable of doing is objectifying reality and does so by naming, defining, organizing, and maintaining a memory that narrowly views “what is.” Your mind is the heartbeat of illusion and the prison walls surrounding reality.
What is real, including YOU, cannot be known through or by your mind. Human understanding can only parse, split up, and minimize “what is,” and the cost is a life of fragmented bits and pieces coupled with narrowly focused and often nutty assertions.
You are infinitely more than you can think, but thinking prevents you from such awareness. Does it not seem obvious what to do? Regardless of what you “think,” have an undefined and incredible day!

The aware have no limits. The “sensational” humans typically categorize as “I can do anything,” or “all things are possible,” is not the limitlessness the aware possess. Limitlessness is freedom from the sensational, the physical, and power-hungry ambitions of humans. It is those very things that awareness has no connection to, and so, the infinite is the range of their purview.
There is no pathway from the finite to the infinite or secular invention, process, and roads that clear your mind and make you aware. Your mind cannot be involved in any way. Your desire and efforts to transcend your situation or circumstances are what keep you from inner knowing. You can only rise above human limitations when you fall below them. That is, what you think “it” is.
Everything comes from nothing; there’s your “unlimited” power and infinite awareness!

Your purpose, should you choose to accept it—unmitigated, unidentified, unimagined, unquestioned, undefined, reckless, wild, crazy, joy! You don’t even have to “choose.” Just go live without any restrictions at all. It’s the only way to see and be what you love!

Don’t let anyone or anything from your past be a reason to torture yourself. The past doesn’t exist. Living presently takes clarity, uncluttered by the non-existent. The only story of you worth experiencing is the one unfolding now at this moment, which is the only place anything, including you, is real. Give this moment no thought, but do, give it your best performance ever!

Awareness is little more than the realization that everything you consider imperfect, including labels and identities you give yourself and others, is, in fact, perfect. That is, no one, including “you,” ever falls under the scrutiny of your thoughts. Thinking is a busy road fraught with every manner of opposition that lulls you away from beauty, while walking the quiet path allows everything in without any consideration that “now” happens for any reason at all.
Life on planet earth is perfect, as are you and anyone you think otherwise! Quiet minds honor perfection by allowing it, undefined, into their awareness. Perception sees all as perfection. That simple!
