The best version of yourself will never be something you think or aspire to be. That would only be the made-up version of you, which isn’t you. In other words, the future holds no version of you that you can ever get to. The future doesn’t exist, and neither does the (best) version of yourself that you contrive in your mind to become. You, right now, are the only version of yourself that can and, surprisingly, does exist. And let me just say, “it doesn’t get any better! That is, you, now, are the most incredible mosaic of all that is, and if it weren’t all happening right now, it would never happen at all. You’re amazing. Why is it so hard for you, who search for better versions, to see that? Silly humans!

Awareness is not an evolutionary thing, nor is it a becoming over many iterations or educational processes. It is not found in self-seeking intentions, achievements, or effort. Awareness is just present, and the mind that pursues it will always overlook it by looking everywhere it (the present) isn’t. Your mind, all minds, for that matter, are in a state of perpetual movement, and until the movement of all thoughts ceases, you will only be aware of what you think, and no mind can “think” with the simplicity of creative silence. YOU are the Creator, but not because of anything your mind is moving toward. Awareness, quietly, “knows.” Be still; YOU “know” too.

All your effort to comprehend life isn’t worth it if you miss out on it. You’ll never know, nor will anyone. Meaning and purpose are myths your mind conjures and sends you in pursuit of, all the while life presents itself in myriad ways no mind, or collection of minds, could fathom, let alone know it when it saw it. What is all too often missing from life is “you” when you’re out pursuing something your mind has you chasing after. Did you get that? You are the essential ingredient to all of life. Living, coupled with your active participation in it, is where joy is, and while you may never know why happiness springs from within you, it won’t matter. Living is its own party, and it alone overrides all mind-based nonsense you happen to be seeking. You’ve got a life; why not live it?

The path you take is a path that has already been taken by countless others and is not traveled less or more than any other. That is, your search has an ending you believe is where you want to be, but “what YOU are” outside what you search for is endless, infinite, and eternal; literally unreachable! There’s nowhere you need or can go because all so-called paths are the same and can lead to only one place in all existence. That is to YOU.
You stare out into the expanse, and all you see completely encircles you, and in quiet knowing, all of it emanates from eyes that you will never see. YOU are the Creator of creation. Paths and searches can only take you away from what already is. YOU are always home!

When you are truly engaged with life, you are not thinking about it; you’re living it. Or, make that, it is living you. Adding what you “think” is happening distorts the present because it is impossible to know “what is” (now) when it is infused with your remembrances, dreams, point of view, and conditioning. There is no formula for living that you learn over time and commit to memory for a future experience. You step into life uncloaked from what you think, and “what is” shows itself unfettered and pure as silence itself. Give life your emptiness, and it will fill you to the full.

Silence has no words, associations, descriptions, or assumptions for the present moment you create. It is not the opposite of noise as most of us think of it. It is all things without definition, spring without winter, fall without summer, life billowing without meaning. Silence is where the miraculous precedes the mundane. It is everything and nothing, smiling at the ALL that has no explanation. It is YOU smiling with the created.

All that is, regardless of what it is, falls into a great big, beautiful tapestry that you create. That’s right, all of it and every little bit of it feels your embrace even when you label it unique, scary, good, bad, right, wrong, or otherwise. Existence is not full of disease, sickness, and evil forces battling good ones. Those are the fantasies of a mind disconnected from the majesty that created it, e.g., YOU. Did you get that? What YOU are “is” and always has been long before your silly mind decided it knew otherwise.
There is nothing you think “bad or good” that exists in your experience that is real. What is real is what no mind (especially yours) can contrive, and all of “that” is perfect.

All that is, all that YOU will ever be, is contained in this moment, and in whatever earthly form you happen to be experiencing, e.g., spiritual and physical are not separate. It’s all here now; right now. Do you see? We want so desperately for there to be more to existence than the physical life we are living, and, in the process, we miss living the life we have, which contains everything there is. Now is your perfection, your freedom, and the only place of love you can experience. So… experience it!

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.

Living is a perpetual meeting of the creator and the created. That is YOU, the Creator, and “all that is” the created. It doesn’t matter where you meet or under what circumstances. Life is yours to embrace because YOU are its very essence, its breath, its beauty. Meet creation with arms extended to all of it. Perhaps you don’t remember creating “what is,” but loving it, regardless, will put grace into living and ease into your life. Plain and simple, have a fantastic day! Meeting, never adjourned.
