Don’t worry about being your brother or sister’s keeper until you master keeping yourself. A pretty good rule of thumb is, “you’ll likely never master keeping yourself. “I want to help” is a statement of “I know what is best for you,” and while it looks like you may be helping, you are serving your own “wants,” whose ultimate aim is “getting” something you want. Do you see?
Be kind, gentle, and humble, and offer others only love, unnamed, and unparticularized. That is, what “keeps” you, and it will be enough for others, too.

Your mind is a thing that generates thoughts that seek out things in three-dimensional form, which culminate in your identity with those things. Do you see? Accumulation of “things” does little more than give your mind reasons to identify with those things and just more things to think about.
When you are told to surrender “things,” your mind goes into a struggle, that something must be given up, but that is not surrendering; it’s resistance, and another thing to get you thinking. Surrender and the ultimate freedom it ensures is taking away the power that your thoughts have invested in things. In other words, it frees you from thinking about “things” to think about.
Identity is a thing, and anything you think you are (identify as) distracts from the real. YOU cannot be thought or imagined, but YOU can be known, but that happens only when you have nothing left to “think” about. What to do? Start undoing things by not thinking about them!

YOU, that is what YOU are, that is not human, are found in every encounter. The walk in nature, the tree you embrace, the flowers that fill your senses, sunny days, storms, moonlit nights, and the myriad brushes with everything imaginable or unimaginable. YOU are found in all of it, but your mind seeks the comfortable, the easy, and stimulating. Regardless, YOU are there, not as a witness to experience, but as the creator of it, and it just doesn’t matter what you encounter.
Remove anger, emotion, and judgment from your experience and let the purity of your creation, your love, be the focus of your gaze. Creators find peace in all they create and smile a lot, even when their mind is telling them not to.

Your purpose, should you choose to accept it—unmitigated, unidentified, unimagined, unquestioned, undefined, reckless, wild, crazy, joy! You don’t even have to “choose.” Just go live without any restrictions at all. It’s the only way to see and be what you love!

Don’t let anyone or anything from your past be a reason to torture yourself. The past doesn’t exist. Living presently takes clarity, uncluttered by the non-existent. The only story of you worth experiencing is the one unfolding now at this moment, which is the only place anything, including you, is real. Give this moment no thought, but do, give it your best performance ever!

Awareness is little more than the realization that everything you consider imperfect, including labels and identities you give yourself and others, is, in fact, perfect. That is, no one, including “you,” ever falls under the scrutiny of your thoughts. Thinking is a busy road fraught with every manner of opposition that lulls you away from beauty, while walking the quiet path allows everything in without any consideration that “now” happens for any reason at all.
Life on planet earth is perfect, as are you and anyone you think otherwise! Quiet minds honor perfection by allowing it, undefined, into their awareness. Perception sees all as perfection. That simple!

Ego asks why, but only because it already assumes an answer, making “asking why” an attempt to confirm or add to what it has already determined. Rarely, if ever, will ego ask and accept a solution that doesn’t align with its already predetermined knowing, and even if it did, ego is incapable of knowing “why” about anything anyway.
What YOU are, that has no connection to ego, other than the observation of it, never asks why because it does not need to know. Do you see? “Not-knowing” gives way to perfect unattached, unbiased living, and all that shines through such living is joy and realization that the only effort needed to live is an awareness that miracles constantly unfold around you. YOU are the greatest miracle of them all!
Ask not why you live as you live. Seek only to embrace the miracle and mystery of YOU who is living it. There’s nothing better than you, knowing YOU!

You lose power to beliefs and endeavors that entangle you in human systems and causes, you and others associate with spiritual awareness. In other words, if you are struggling “for” something you are struggling “against” something, and that is an entanglement that draws you from all the virtues ascribed to spirituality, e.g., honesty, integrity, goodness, clarity, joy, love, kindness, etc.
You are not a voice or advocate for anything you scream in another’s ear. You’re just noise that has given power to the unimportant, and that distracts you from the sweetness of human connection. Anything that takes any part of you from the inner sanctity “YOU are” is the saddest of all human losses because it never has to be so. Give your power to love, and you will never lose it to meaningless entanglements.

It is a fallacy to assume you “see people as they are.” At best, you only see what you think, which is always wrong. What is not a fallacy is that what you think of others is the small, constant leak of your power and never-ending connection to the unreal. In other words, you cannot know “what YOU are” if you think you possess the mental tools to know someone else.
Life moves without reason or opinion, and its power is vast enough for all that is, whether you get it or not. However, it will elude you entirely if you think you actually “get it.” Stopping your leakage means containing the thought that you have the unique ability to see the leaks in others. All that leakage—what a mess! Do some cleanup on yourself.

Truth gets swept into the unimportant and the unnecessary, and you hold the broom that so masterfully does the sweeping. The clear view is not beholden to thought; the only thing needing sweeping is what you believe. Clear your mind, and the house is without the need for sweeping.
