“The road less traveled” is the only road you will ever be on, not the route you fantasize about being better. The contemplative wanderer never reaches a crossroads, and so “the road” always blossoms into life experienced and everlasting.
Don’t look for signs along the way, nor post any of your own. Where you are going is where you are now, and no other will ever know the splendor you and you alone experience. It’s a beautiful road not found on any map, forged alone by YOU. “Happy trails!”

Take a breath, hold it, and ponder for just a moment that in all existence, only you could have done so, and no one else will ever breathe in or out what you just did. Nothing about YOU is confined in any way to thought, premise, conjecture, or concept except for when “human intelligence” is applied to it.
All that is awakens within you and moves in absolute perfection as you breathe each infinite breath. Experience your human trifles but reverence your infinity. Nothing is ever the same after taking a slow, deliberate, and ponderous breath.

Thinking is a noisy affair that creates a chaotic mind, whose constant chatter drowns out silence, the emptiness into which all that is real emerges. Do you see? Nothing you think is real; it’s conceptual, and the very act of conceptualizing reality takes you into the land of dreams, hopes, and beliefs, which only adds noise to the already unreal.
The saying, “Be still and know that I (you are) am God,” is not a roadmap detailing how you come to “know” God or even your so-called self. It is a simple petition that you cannot “think” your way to knowing what YOU already are, so why “think” about it at all? Your eyes see what they see without you or anyone else understanding how or why they do.
Silence is creation, and YOU are the Creator. Silence lets you be that. Don’t give it a single thought!

What you consider most obvious is not where your strength lies. The most “obvious” is likely no more than your conditioning to recognize, making it a comfortable confirmation of what you already believe. It’s what you don’t know buried beneath the glamor and eloquence of the obvious, that transforms living the obvious into a life of awareness. Do you see?
Strength, power, love, and the flow of life are not known in apparent ways. These things emanate from the depths of silence, which is the foundation of all that is. YOU are the center of “ALL that is.” You can’t speak it, nor does it ever appear apparent, but YOU are that. Anything beyond “that” is just noise masking the most significant force in the universe, e.g., YOU.

Eternity is free of any time whatsoever. That is, counting backward or forward can only be experienced as “make-believe,” and either direction takes you from the “now’ where “all that is” exists in infinite splendor. Concentrating your focus on anything separates you from everything.
Your eyes see all they see except themselves in the act of seeing – even in a mirror, they see only a reflection. The all-seeing eye has no focus and no vision. All that is comes from it, and it is beheld only as the created, the infinite. In other words, YOU are the Creator, not the lowly human wishing or hoping for something else. Don’t try wrapping your head around anything. Stare into the abyss and know it’s YOU.

Wanting is not a driver of getting. Seriously, can you think of anything more grand and wondrous than the breath you are taking right now, your heart beating to a cosmic rhythm, and the essence of all that is coursing through you? How could you “want” anything more incredible than the sun on your face or raindrops tapping your window, a lover’s kiss, a friend’s warm embrace, or a smile?
When you pander to the universe, as we are oft told to do, you give way to the mundane, the selfish, and the unreal. The ultimate joy lies beneath anything you could wish for, and it quietly awaits you to be present with all that you already have, all that you already are. Simply, YOU have everything, and “having” everything means YOU “are” everything! YOU are “joy,” but only when you “want” for nothing!

“It is good.” Encompassing words uttered at the moment of creation, your creation, unfettered by any division whatsoever. Nothing exists without YOU; only when you divide against yourself does good become something else. Something unreal.
The heart of all that is doesn’t beat within your chest. It is YOU quietly humming a rhythm and eternity dancing to the subtle beat of “it is good.” Give gratitude and thanks for being included in life’s (YOUR) most fantastic song.

Weakness in others is always more apparent than strengths, as we are conditioned early on to be aware of our own, making it easy to point out in others. However, “pointing out” is a deflection from yourself and presumably a haven from others’ discovery that “what you point at” is what you are. You create those you attack just as you do those you uphold and praise.
Creative power is the same either way, but only you disguise one over the other. Are you beginning to see where “division” comes from? It’s not out there in the noise of so-called “weakness.” It’s in what you call your strength. Create and love your creations without distinction; all of them! Love of all heals all.

Quantum physics tells us that matter (particles) pop into and out of existence for no apparent reason or predictability. In to and out of human existence is much the same. It happens for no reason but begins the process of every “problem” humans face. Do you see?
Perhaps the greatest mystery and likely the underlying truth of your existence is what you were before you popped into it, and “what” will you be when you “pop” out? While a mystery, it doesn’t seem we had any problems before getting here. At least none of them were brought with us. So what is going on?
I have no clue, and neither do you or anyone else. However, it might be worthwhile to find what YOU are that existed before you existed here. Indeed, “IT” is still here, but perhaps knowing will point out the futility of identifying with the nutty things humans “believe” important.
I have repeatedly stated that “getting you out of your mind” is always a worthy effort, but I’ve done the opposite with this post. No apologies. I’m a “silly human,” too! “Popping out,” now.

Everything you have learned, know, believe, hope, dream, accomplish, successes, failures, etc., are barriers to what YOU are. You can’t “know” the unknowable, nor can you travel somewhere to find it or go through great suffering to pay for it. What YOU are precedes the observer; thus, it is unobservable.
YOU are the infinite out of which all mystery forms, and not a single thing you do as a human adds to It. Everything in human experience is trivial next to a flight into the unknown. Forgetting all you think makes you what you are offers a glimpse into the eternal and silences all desire to learn and grow.
Let “living” (without mind blather) take over your doing and getting. It’s less stressful and a whole lot more fun!
