The way to awareness is entered through the mind’s threshold, but not in the way you think. You must close the door of thought and feeling as you pass into stillness and leave all that was or might be without mental observance and its constant inquiry and interjection.
Silence is not an easy pill for any mind to take, but unlike so many “pills” you are told to swallow, silence opens into “knowing” that is otherwise unknowable when “mindful doors” are left open. Go on; step through and shut that door.

The so-called collective consciousness is “out there,” and if you subscribe to any aspect of it or feed it with your sanction, regardless of its virtue or ideological bent, you then exist “out there” as well. Do you see? “Out there” is anywhere but where YOU, the real you, is.

Darkness is not the Sun’s opposite. The Sun is always free of darkness and always shines light. What YOU are outside your mind (body) is the same. It knows no opposites and shines eternal light, e.g., YOU are always “shining.” Do you see?
Only your mind calls in what “is not there” and makes it “there.” What to do? Wrest your mind of darkness and stop “calling.”

We see with our bodies but limit that seeing to the eyes. Close your eyes and experience the quiet “knowing” only your body can reveal. It will amaze you!

January 1st, 2024 Timeline
9:00 – 9:45 AM – Dutifully and diligently wrote down and articulated 2024 New Year’s resolutions. I carefully mounted them in a frame and placed them in a visually accessible, prominent place where I would see them daily.
10:00 AM – All resolutions are broken, removed from the frame, and thrown in the trash, along with any commitment to reinstate them.
10:01 AM – There’s still plenty of time to experience a fantastic day! Perfect. Happy New Year, everyone.

I don’t believe that there is anything more significant in the universe than this moment I spend now. In truth, I don’t believe in anything at all. If engaged fully in the present, belief in anything is unnecessary and a waste of mental energy that won’t alter, in any way, what is. Being present requires nothing from you except, well, BEING!

Reason digs deep into your mind, but mystery unleashes the infinite. In other words, the quest for “reason” by digging into your mind does little more than prevent you from a mystery no mind will ever comprehend. Reason that!

Verbalizing what you are, e.g., sensitive, strong, confident, fearless, kind, spiritual, etc.,” is not a revelation of what you are. It’s a revelation of what you are not, and you have a better chance of pulling off what you are not by not speaking about what you want others to believe you are. Ultimately, you need no definition. Without the slightest characterization of your thoughts of you, YOU could not be more indescribable. Quietly know that.
