Living in the “now” requires only one thing: LIVING! That is, it requires no meaning, no cause, no searching whatsoever. It is a complete release from all the silly things your Mind tells you it is or desires it to be. Silly, silly, silly.
Carl’s Nutshells

Failure is always something you think, so stop thinking. Oh, and by the way, there are no failures in life! This includes you.

The individual (human) carries the divine through the dance of three-dimensional experience, meaning yours is a unique experience, where any connection to the divine within can never be collectively described or understood. Nothing about you, me, or anyone is expected or predictable. So, go crazy. It’s the true normal.
Bozebits
Don’t let your mind or mouth engage in a conversation about you. First, it is a shallow conversation that feeds self-importance and is the stuff of egos. Two, it is not true. Beyond all the mind-made ideas and descriptions of your human existence, “who YOU are” is beyond anything said or thought. Why waste a second saying anything or thinking about it?

No one has a right to a particular outcome regardless of the seeds sown. This is the paradox of human experience that most of us have forgotten and typically judge unfairly. All we can do is embrace fully “what is” in any given experience without the expectation of an outcome we believe is commensurate with our activity and definitely without any judgment of whatever unfolds. Get good with “what is,” after all; it’s all there is.
Bozebits
Did you know that without your mind’s thoughts, fantasies, dreams, wishes, hopes, stresses, judgments, analyses, assessments, etc., each moment would be completely real, unfiltered and brand spanking new? Few, if any, experience the experience of untainted (by anything mind based) experience. Get out of your mind!
Bozebits
We cannot know what the universe won’t divulge, which is everything, especially what we think we know, which is made up or theorized. All you can “know” is what YOU are within the cosmic soup with no recipe. The best place to start on a quest to know what YOU are is to divest everything you think you know (literally everything)”. What you know is the artificial and chemical additives to an already tasty, healthy entrée, AKA YOU.

If you determine that there are things to do, places to go, etc., in your quest to know yourself, you will encounter both but will not find anything but more traffic and noise through which you must navigate, leading you ever farther from what you seek. The discovery of YOU happens when the search ends. “Be still, and know that YOU are God.” You can do that right now.
