The mighty Oak never looks down at the flower blooming under its branches and exclaims, “I am higher than you because of the long hard years I endured to reach this size and majesty, and all the things I now see that you can’t and never will.” No, the two, living as one, never seek to outshine the other and claim victory over life and beauty. They live quietly and in peace and love the same life that everything in the universe treasures.
Life has no distinctions because beauty only knows love. YOU are love; thus, beauty and you are always among the beautiful.

Humans go to great lengths to find things wrong with others and perhaps, even worse, find things right about themselves. It’s the dance of ego, e.g., “I am right, and you are wrong,” and everyone’s toes get stepped on in this dance. It’s as if the ego is seeking who is the most miserable among us and how each individual ego compares overall. In other words, where does my misery stack up with everyone else’s?
Don’t look for reasons to categorize misery, yours or theirs. Just dance, and if your toes get stepped on, keep dancing! The beat of living never stops, and neither should you. Fill your dance card with joy and abandon. There are no judges, and there are no winners, losers, or honorable mentions! Now, who wants to boogie?

Love “labeled” isn’t love. It’s a script, a plan, a program, a how-to, a when-to, and a why. In other words, it is your mind dabbling with something that just is and altering it into something that can be conceptualized; it can then be toyed with, bargained with, and conditionalized. YOU are love, and love without conditions can only happen when your mind is off. That is, when the mind is away, love can play.

The basis of all religions, all spirituality, is to separate you from the form (consciousness) you think you are. That is, to free you from any connection that hooks you to mind and body. Your mind makes a compelling case for form and weaves itself into every aspect of life, making it challenging to “unhook” and recognize that something much more profound and mysterious is the real essence of your existence. The more you want, the more you think about getting, and the more you get, the stronger the pull into mind and body. YOU are more than any thought your mind conjures, but your mind will keep on inventing grandiose and profound form-filled scenarios to keep you, the finite, from knowing YOU, the infinite. Solution? Think less, believe less, and lo, YOU emerge.

Separation is uniquely “I” (ego) based. That is, whatever reasoning or beliefs you adhere to, whether religion, politics, nationality, gender, ethnicity, social status, education, etc., you are the sole source of separation and any discord you sense is with that which lies outside your point of view. Furthermore, those who subscribe to your separation (agree with you) do not make you “one” with them. It just feeds your ego with the security of numbers, e.g., “look at all those who feel and believe as I do. I (we) must be right.”
Your “truth,” as it is bandied about in spiritual speak, is not truth if in any way it separates you from another, regardless of any moral code you subscribe to. Oneness is love, and love is without reason of any kind. Sinner or saint is not distinguishable. Love is our core and thus surrounds us all.

What you believe separates you from what others believe, creating for you “them,” which is a denial of “we” as one. Beliefs, which, by the way, do not originate with you, are fodder for your ego that always asserts its rightness and separation from contrary beliefs. Do you see?
Those you cannot include on your side, whatever your side may be, makes you, not them, divisive. Any belief that creates “them” is faulty and the breakdown of oneness. There is only “we,” and we’re all pretty cool, regardless of what you believe!

Life is without motive, and living should be too. Ego has motives that thwart the very essence of living with something perceived that must be achieved. What you are, before any thought, is stillness and tranquility ungarbled by the difficulties of change and achievement, motivated by an insatiable ego that must have in order to be. Motives driven by desire require prior knowledge and thought, while life, in its purest form, is a mystery, unabated by anything you think it is or should be. Taking a step into living is not an act of faith; it’s an act of courage requiring stepping into the unknown and the unknowable. Think about it all you want, and you still don’t know.

What YOU are beyond your human form adores everything that manifests in three-dimensional time and space, and that adoration is available to the human form if it (you) would merely shut up and listen. There is nothing you do or don’t do in this life that displeases “what YOU are.” Now, your mind tells you otherwise, but that’s what needs to shut up. Zip it, live it, and love it!

What you believe is right inherently carries the seed of wrong, making any “right” equally wrong. “I am right, and you are wrong” is the way of the ego and the form of all judgment. What you believe is not what you know, and it is ever so little you or anyone can “know.” Let go of what you believe, but even more so, let go of your reasons for having them, as well. Besides, being wrong about everything makes for a quiet, blissful life that never needs an offensive or defensive position to distract you from joy, peace, and wonder. Life is total wonder, but not if you are “wondering” what to believe or not believe.

Conditioning is your puppet strings. That is, your upbringing, nationality, ethnicity, religion, social status, politics, education, name, etc., is the groundwork for everything you encounter in life and the basis of what you see. It is the web of judgment that traps you and everyone else in division and a world of right and wrong. The only way to eradicate it is to tear down the web. There is no light in the world until every light (individual) shines without the scrutiny of mind-made dimmer switches, and every judgment you make dims your light, not theirs. If you are sensitive to energy, check your “dimmer switch.” When you’re full “on” all that is resonates with you.
