Fear of death is fear of life. Living as if your purpose is not to die, get sick, not have accidents, etc., is to fight against the very essence of human form, which YOU took upon yourself. The seed of everything lies within your experience, which took form out of nothing and will fall back into it. YOU are not your body.
Everything emanates from the infinite void that is YOU, and all that is returns to it. Fear, too, returns to emptiness when you take hold of life, living, and all that it is. Live with love, and peace will find you, even in the most dreadful places.

Awareness is a flowering of quiet beauty that is not assembled in any way by your mind and thoughts. It sees without an object to absorb what’s real into a vast tangle of thought and deliberation. You could even say that awareness is only available to the mind that is unaware.
Be still, be unaware, and lo, awareness! Pretty cool.

Awareness exists beyond physical form, and all the laws and rules that apply to three-dimensional space and time cease to exist when confronted with the infinite. Infinity is not a container filled with everything; it is nothing. It has no rules or form, but your mind finds that untenable because all that you experience seems so ordered, structured, and bound by laws that explain physical sensing. Do you see?
Awareness has no rules and is not bound to anything deemed true in the physical universe. That is the basis of spirituality. No one can explain it. It’s an unfathomable mystery, so the only way to approach it is to let go of what you think you know it to be. That means letting go of pretty much everything you ever learned and giving up learning anything new about it.
One who sees does so without the mind, as awareness is unapproachable with any form of thought. See?

Honor your experience by accepting it as yours and without the desire to alter it in any way. Desire is the ire of reality.

Look inward to that inner SELF that holds for steadiness, calm, and truth, not for a fictional, mind-made self that relieves you from you. You can live life or make one up, as most do. What YOU are doesn’t care one way or the other, but your mind does, even though it is your mind that makes up the stuff, designed to perfect its superficial creation, e.g., what you think you are.
In other words, your mind needs to get out of its own way, but that’s a tough one because it also thinks it is the knower of the way. So…, stop knowing and peer deeply into the silence that holds “what YOU are.” What you discover will surprise you, but I can’t tell you what it is because no mind, including mine, knows.

You lose so much in life because of how you rate it; we all do. Life is impervious to human gradation and moves into every channel of existence with the kind of ease and grace everyone of us should emulate. Living and judging never mix because the slightest judgment taints a lot of purity. Mystery is life, and judgment is its nemesis. You can live with one but not the other. Life never fails, nor do you or anyone else. Besides, “grading” lifework is tedious and cuts into all kinds of adventure you could be experiencing, otherwise. Go, have some fun!

Awareness, enlightenment, and awakening are elusive because human conditioning has us convinced that learning and searching are the way to them; thus, any of the above is a procedural effort. That is, the “process” of “learning to become” becomes the object (awareness, enlightenment, awakening, etc.) initially sought. Meanwhile, “the sought” requires no learning, searching, or process at all; it simply waits patiently for you to come home to silence. Come home; it is the only place of peace, joy, and love, and it is the long-needed rest from a journey to nowhere. Well, nowhere but here, now.

You are not your body, and death is not an ending, preluding some imaginary “new beginning.” YOU are more expansive than the infinite universe you try to wrap your mind around, but can’t. Awareness is an expansion, but not as your mind would have you believe, which is knowing something more significant than you already do. It is the reverse of that, e.g., the release of what you know. “Nothing” should be the platform for all of your life experience, and the more “nothing” you carry around in your head, the more expansive you are. Awareness is looking past your senses and is unfettered by any “known” thing. Again, what you think, know, believe, etc., is of the body, and YOU are not your body!

Awareness is indefensible. That is, you have no argument for it that stands up to your or anyone else’s sense of reason. It just cannot be reconciled with other forms of collective organization, institutions, or philosophy. It’s just you aware of YOU and utterly free of attachment to anything. If you think you know, you don’t. If you know, you know you don’t. Still, you are “in the world” and can fully participate in it, but you will do so without attachment, especially without argument. Awareness is liberation!

“If your lips are movin’, your ego is groovin’.” Everything you say, regardless of eloquence, beauty, or intent, is ego. What you write, think, or dream is ego. What you do that is kind, unkind, charitable, uncharitable, etc., is ego. Do you see? Human exchange of any kind is ego, and when you get that, once and for all, you will see the miracle of life as opposed to the narrow interpretation of it, e.g., egoic interpretation. There simply is no path to awareness through your mind; it just talks too much (mine too). Still, this is the human experience, so it can never be turned off, but it can be turned down. Focus more of your “seeing” the world on what you hear rather than what comes through your eyes. While it will not rid you of ego, it will undoubtedly have it talking less. That is always a superior, less egoic, “groove.”
