Encounters with friends, acquaintances, family, doctors, employers, teachers, leaders, etc., typically take the form of an idea that you are something you think they think you are. However, at that moment of first thought, you cease being what you are. From there, the dance of the unreal begins!
You are likely so good at the transition that you don’t even notice it happening. We all are. It’s almost as if we have a role to play in a play of our own making whose ending is scripted, well-rehearsed, and perfectly timed!

Act 2: “You are what you think” only has relevance in human affairs, and while you can’t “not” be human, you can stop “thinking” like one. The unassumed is the best role in the only play that’s real. You’re “real” when you no longer know, consciously or unconsciously, the plot. Mysteries are just more interesting anyway!

You are entangled with all that is, regardless of its distance or time from you, negating attraction, philosophy, psychology, religion, and politics altogether. It’s not about your mind and its most grand imaginings, the goodness of your intentions, your caring heart. It’s YOU enwrapped in a universal soup that streams the infinite. YOU are the flavor of life; when you’re not “present,” it loses its taste.

The best and only version of yourself is what you are now without the thought processing that says there is some other version you should be. Thinking about what you “are not” prevents you from any possibility of being what YOU are. Version “YOU, NOW” never needs an upgrade! Send the programmers home; you’ve got this!

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.”

“Why callest thou me good,” said Jesus to his disciples. Even the “good” you attribute to your nature or the nature of others is an identity only humans formulate. Do you see? No one is good, and no one is bad. Identifying with any trait, attribute, characteristic, etc., that makes you unique only keeps you from knowing anything else that makes all of humanity the immense spectacle it is. And it is a spectacle whose colors reach into eternity!
Unless you see without seeing that “good” is different from what you identify as bad, your experience is destined to be shallow, full of division and judgment, and, effectively, unreal. Who does that? Sadly, we all do. Give up all your identifications, and you will discover “humanity.” It won’t be good or bad, but it will be spectacular.

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.

Psychology, spirituality, and religion seek to give identity to the “problem,” whatever it may be, e.g., neurosis, morality, sin, etc. Whether individually or collectively, identity all too often becomes the “excuse” for behavior rather than the path to healing it. Do you see?
“I now know what my problem is called, and that makes it okay or certainly not my fault because, after all, ‘the devil made me do it.’” All the while, the reality you project and dislike remains, and the ensuing story of this new identity (excuse) begins. The fact is you’re not the identity you have been labeled. You’re the real deal, meaning if you’re a schmuck, you’re a schmuck regardless of the reasons for being so.
It takes a lot of work to be angry, unhappy, rude, mean, unkind, unloving, etc. Having reasons for such states is not an excuse for not doing the work to overcome them. Own what you are, and if you don’t like it, fix it. You’re the only one who can. Transformation to reality happens within but shows its magic without. Resolve to show the magic only you have.

The world lands in a place you likely want it to or not. You feel good when it does and not so good when it doesn’t, but it’s a fallacy to think you chose it. Our minds love to “think” they are on the right side of everything, but the mind confuses everything by its bifurcation of reality.
Everything you see, can’t see, and are incapable of any conceptualization is your creation, which emanates from an unseen source. Why allow a finite blob of gray matter to divide any of it into chunks of good or bad?
Know “what YOU are,” and reality will never elude you, and the vastness of infinity will never be, again, confined to mind-constructed good or bad. “All that is,” really is fabulous!

The desire to understand is, in itself, an obstacle to understanding. It wraps things up in descriptions, rules, expectations, and processes that become the focus of fulfillment, all of which can never be because wants and wishes live in the future, which does not exist.
You will never understand as long as you focus on understanding. Life will confound every desire you have with present-moment reality and keep you ever so, the more you try to replace it with something else you believe is better.
What is is incomprehensible, but it is real. What YOU are gets it because IT, too, cannot be understood. IT can be, however, experienced in the quiet acceptance of present reality. Nothing is more exhilarating!
