Do you know who YOU are? Where YOU are? Your destination is where you are now. It has always been so, and regardless of past choices you think you made, it is the only place you can be, and for no other reason than you are, simply, here. To experience the unimagined, you must give up the imagined, and the unimagined is experiencing “what is,” without thought, and what YOU are, where you are, NOW. What happens is as mysterious as YOU are mysterious. In other words, life is not happening to you; you are happening to it!

No upgrades or downgrades arise from human experience. That is, nothing you do in life is a precursor to, or a cause of, something happening in another. Your human experience is stepping down, and when it is over, you resume as the God YOU have always been. Upgrades and downgrades are strictly a “human” thing and typically apply to cars, electronics, French fries, and soft drinks. In other words, don’t overrate or underrate your experience based on where it might take you or what it might get you. You are Gods having a human experience. Oh, but in human terms, always upgrade your French fries!

Meaning in life is too imaginative. That is, what you believe your life’s meaning is is full of imaginary descriptions of why things happen as they do. Do you see? Ego so desperately wants to know every detail of an incomprehensible mystery that it makes stuff up under the guise of “this is what this means.” YOU are Gods, temporarily possessing human form, which is without meaning or purpose and especially without passing or failing grades for not having “learned,” again, an imaginary lesson your mind has made up. Living fully is living without imagination; that is, making stuff up about why you live (as a human) at all. Push yourself into the real and keep your mind out of it; your mind simply cannot compete with reality. You’re going to “make it” no matter how it plays out! In other words, if you’re looking to have fun, stop imagining it and just do it.

Reasons don’t exist in living. They only exist in thinking, and thinking is shaded by the many colors you paint the world you think should be. You might even be said to paint by the numbers: the numbers you have learned that add up to the life you live and all the assessments you make about it, even though there are no “reasons” in living. Life is rich in colors, but they do not come from the palette of your mind. What you paint with reasons covers the masterpiece beneath them. Put aside your palette, and creation bursts forth in an array of beauty and wonder no mind can fathom! YOU, without reason, are the Master.

The closest you will ever get to “balance in your life” is the instantaneous pass-through from one side of life to the other. In other words, balance is a mental invention that convinces you you can “teeter” between its versions of good or bad. It’s a “balancing act” no one, including you, will ever realize. Why? Life is not a teeter-totter; it’s an experience. That experience is impervious to your or anyone’s sense of fairness and equilibrium. Humans have a perverse sense of right and wrong, e.g., “opposites,” when life is what it is without a notion of balance. Seriously, can you imagine just sitting on a swing and not swinging? And once you’re swinging, the pass-through from one side to the other is not even noticeable. All you’re doing is swinging, and for many of us, screaming whee! Scream at life if you must, but don’t judge it. Ride whatever arc you are on for all its worth. There is no balance. Get on that swing and let it fly. Make your living the ride of your life!

Contrary to the new age saying, “you get what you think about,” reality says, “you’ve got what you don’t think about,” and what you don’t think about is the wonder and mystery right in front of you, and it is unfathomable. In other words, if you’re “thinking” about something other than what is, even if you think you are thinking about what is, you fail to see what you’ve actually got right now in this moment. You forget “What is” because your mind is thinking about something else when “what is” is all there is.
“What is” is a living, breathing, dynamic thing that carries all the miracles, mystery, and wonder no thought or fantasy could ever contrive. Thinking destroys It because, in and of itself, thinking is not a living, breathing thing. Give “what is” your life, and it will live on through you and you through it. There is nothing more spectacular in the entire universe than YOU living fully NOW!

The most formidable mountain you will ever encounter is the one you imagine you must climb, and its summit is unreachable because you will always imagine something beyond, even more formidable. NEWS FLASH: Imagination is imaginary!
Where you stand now is not a peak you have climbed. It’s the center of the universe, and anything imagined, imaginable, or unimaginable exists because YOU exist. Do you see? Your mind is a player on a field it creates in a game that does not exist, and yet you give way to its rules, which change constantly. Your mind will play you to exhaustion unless you silence it with your silence. Quiet your mind and behold your creation. That is, ALL that is!

It is unimportant, unnecessary, and perhaps even harmful to carry the erroneous idea that you can do anything you set your mind to. You know it’s untrue; everyone does, so why hold onto such nonsense? What YOU are, outside what you think, is having a finite human experience that ends when human form ends. You do not carry with YOU the nuttiness of the human mind that makes stuff up to appease its fear of the unknown.
Live with what you’ve got and take only what you get, and by all means, don’t make stuff up. That’s where perfection lies, and YOU are perfection. Abide in the mystery no human mind can comprehend, and live every moment to its fullest, no matter what it is. What YOU are is simply on a joy ride! You should enjoy it too!

The meaning of life you seek cannot be known because it doesn’t exist. Yes, you can imagine grand, noble purposes and find niches in life you believe are your purpose, but meaning derived from thought or fantasy is just that: thought or fantasy. The so-called “path with heart” has nothing to do with what you do or finding what you think you must do. It’s not a path at all. The “path with heart” is simply heart detached from anything mind-based, moving quietly through wherever you happen to be and whatever the rest of you happens to be doing.
Your heart is with you always. Even the darkest corners of your experience are enlivened when your heart, your quiet heart, is there, and that “means” everything!

Awareness can only be experienced. You cannot possess it like a car, a house, or an education. Possession is the endgame of all searches, and “finding” what you seek is the end of awareness. Do you see? Fixation, attachment, beliefs, and ritual cause stagnation, and living, which is wild and crazy, mysterious, and uncertain, always takes a hit when you make a claim to any formula or particular way. The infinite cannot be corralled into the finite scope of your mind, and “what YOU are” first, before a single thought, is infinite.
If you must search, may it lead you nowhere; that, at least, is much closer to awareness than anything or anywhere you think you need to get otherwise.
