The universe isn’t this great big thing labeled consciousness trying to know itself. That is something humans make up because they think they have greater awareness than all other forms, and that makes consciousness little more than human arrogance, which is a quality you should not aspire to possess. The answer to everything lies not in the cumulative intelligence gathered by human endeavor, and so-called raised consciousness, but in the humble acceptance that everything works gracefully, unbeknownst to you or anyone else, and while “not knowing” YOU are the center of it. Stillness is awareness, and Gods (YOU) know this.

Asking the questions “who am I?; where did I come from?; where am I going?; etc.,” will never get you to an answer but will get you started in an episode of “Lost” consisting of a maze of mind-made rhetoric, games, ritual, competitions, and nonsense. The questions themselves invite speculation, and if the mind of man is anything at all, it would have to be the ability to make up bizarre and fantastical stories. Who are you? No description. Where did you come from? No one knows, and no one will ever know. You’re here now, and that’s amazing. Where are you going? Amidst the beauty, splendor, and absolute mystery you can and should experience now, why would you even care?
You’ve got a life, so live it. You’re not going to make up anything more incredible, and you are, after all, the star of whatever is showing.

Your existence is not an evolutionary process, e.g., a coming from or going to. It is an involvement. That is, whatever is right now has everything to do with your participation in the whole of creation. Do you see? YOU, not from a place of evolutionary progress or regress, exist here now with your creation. Your involvement with it is an expression of your love for it. Create life and live it! There’s no better formula for YOU being you.

Nothing happens “to” you. This is so hard to “get” in everyday life, as we are all taught to look outward for reasons and causes. The reality is that all that happens, every interaction with who or whatever, is because of you and only you. It is your experience, and that is all any of us can expect in life. Own it, and life is yours fully and completely; fight it, resist it, blame it on others, and you will live conflicted, confused, and with a finger pointing toward everything and anyone but the real cause, e.g., you.
It’s difficult to smile when life is hard, but it is worse when smiles are replaced with judgments that only stand up in your failure to recognize that YOU are the creative center of the universe; the Maker of all that is and all that is” is in your hands. Be grateful that within YOU is love significant enough to create something so incredible.

The “beyond” is full of dreams and hope, faith, beliefs, fantasy, imagination, and myriad wonders your mind fabricates to supersede the real which YOU have already, wholly, created. Come back to beauty; that is the unimagined, the unsought, and unreal, and let unspeakable mystery fill you.
Nothing is more real than you standing amidst your creation, IT oozing your essence, your peace, and your love. And best of all, it’s real, and it costs you not a single thought. YOU gave us this day; enjoy the giving, and we, the created, are endlessly grateful.

There is no fixing what isn’t, and the past or future just isn’t. The obsession with altering the past or somehow setting into motion future events does little more than take you out of present moment awareness that is spacious enough to hold everything and love sufficient to touch eternity. Do you see? What you are is lost in constantly relived and retold stories that are not real and futures that will never take form. There is nothing to rebuild, nothing to be achieved when at this moment, all that could ever be, is. You cannot love what isn’t; you can only fantasize that you can.
The infinite gives birth to all that presently is, but it rests upon the shoulders of its creator, e.g., YOU. In other words, Love is YOU kissing eternity with infinite hands that never reach backward or forward, and it is never burdensome. Behold your day; it is, after all, YOURS.

In a single drop of rain, you know the ocean. A whisper breathes the strongest winds, and in every grain of sand is the mountain at whose base it lies. Your heart is the heartbeat of eternity, so it stands that the aware know their heart. Do you?

The butterfly lands upon the flower, withdrawing its nectar, but leaves no mark upon it. Taking only what it needs, its taking is also giving because life gives. Not with purpose or noble intention but simply living in silent splendor that knows nothing but the kiss of earth, sun, and rain. You are kissed in such a way.
Let a soft touch, and the slightest essence of you be the only mark you leave in your stead, and life will give you, living, and nothing more than its own gentlest whisper. To know its embrace is to embrace it reverently.

It is not your diet, health regimen, philosophical viewpoint, “facemask,” etc., that extends life or makes it worth living. Life shouldn’t be considered in terms of “extension,” and all the things you believe you need to pack into it. Do you see? You live and try as you might, you will never live more than you live. That is why “now” is so amazing. It’s all there is, and it contains the life you live, not the life you think about, pursue, or wish for.
Any thought, or fantasy of something better than now, cheats “what is” from the full bloom it will share with you if you let it. And “letting it” is simply living it. You’ve got “now;” don’t let it get away without your full participation!

The “search” most embark on is more of an attempt to return to the safety and security of the mythological garden where all is provided and mother, father, and angels stand guard over you. Peace and plenty, no toil or labor, lion aside the lamb, and milk and honey to your heart’s content, e.g., “safety” is the search. You may find some safety and security in such a search, but you will never really know what YOU are. That requires the “thistles and the thorns” living ensures. As “myths” go, Adam and Eve were not cast out of the garden – they were cast into it.
Your life is your garden, and it is full of treasure, only hidden by your thoughts of something else. Let go of the security of “home” that once was, and you will find that YOU never left.
