“How does this serve me?” Have you ever asked the question? “This,” whatever “it” happens to be, is your mind asking why life happens to you and how it happening benefits you. Underneath all questioning, what YOU are is the only real question worth having an answer to. Do you see?
Life doesn’t ask questions because YOU are the only question and its subsequent answer. In other words, life lives YOU, not for you. YOU are the infinite, out of which all that is finite proceeds, and life, however it manifests, is just passing through, YOU. Wave it on and smile as it passes. YOU are all it’s got, and it loves you for it.

Perception, coupled with language, is dreams forged in the unreal, the non-existent. Un-coupled with language, perception stops time but lasts forever. Suspend narratives and see.

You gain nothing in this life, believing you existed in another and will exist in yet another after this one. If all of you is not in play, here and now, you’re not “here,” and you’re not “now.” You already know this. You are missed when you’re somewhere else. Fantastic day, right where YOU are!

The cost of awareness is your certainty, knowledge, beliefs, hopes, dreams, etc., which is far too high for most to pay. After all, illusion provides some semblance of safety, comfort, and security, so the “search” for something else is a search for “more” of the same, e.g., no search at all. It’s no different than paying a therapist to make you crazier.
If your so-called “search” does not upset every sensibility you possess, every single thing you think you know, you’re skipping down a road, “adding to” your illusion. Reality is unfixed, ambiguous, and upside down from anything you think it should be, and its only promise is that life, in all its forms, is mysterious, dangerous, unsafe, but wondrous in every way. In simple terms, “less (of all you think) is (really) more.”

The best and only version of yourself is what you are now without the thought processing that says there is some other version you should be. Thinking about what you “are not” prevents you from any possibility of being what YOU are. Version “YOU, NOW” never needs an upgrade! Send the programmers home; you’ve got this!

There is nothing you or anyone needs to know about how life will show up for you in order for you to live it. What you know, what others tell you, life must be is in no way how it is. Life is entirely out of your or anyone else’s control, and to buy into any semblance of how to make it work for you is to make it drab, stifling, and boring.
You can, however, bring “you,” as is, to every experience and encounter. That is the “real” you without the illusion that you control anything happening. You are life’s flavor and spiciness, and while you can’t change “what is,” because of “you,” experience can be rich, exciting, fun, and just better. Seriously! Go “spice” it up!

The ultimate presumption of you, me, or any human is that something experienced, learned, suffered through, or becoming enlightened by is transferrable to others (presumedly) needing similar insight. You stand “alone” in your experience, and regardless of how you view yourself in light of that experience, e.g., good or bad, your weakness is your greatest strength, and your “strength” is yours and no one else’s.
YOU are the “first and the last” human in existence. All that is is yours, and then it’s not. There is power in your solemn experience, but only when you internalize your sovereignty. The roar of the lion haunts the night air, not in fear but in the surrounding silence. Calling out your own darkness is heard by everyone.

Life hides nothing from you, and there are no hidden secrets, no formulas for success or security. It unfolds as it does, not “to you” or “for you” or with profound reasons that benefit the wise, knowledgeable, and enlightened. Humans make that stuff up only because they can but shouldn’t.
Making up reasons for your life is the path to frustration and upset. Transparency, wonder, mystery, and excitement are what is and will run the gamut of your human capabilities. Only you can create an illusion or a lie, and that will always separate you from real beauty and truth. Embrace your day and experience its reality.

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.

“We cannot solve our problems with the same thinking we used to create them,” Einstein said, but any thinking, coupled with the interpretive mind, which, by the way, is all thinking, is the same thinking that creates ALL problems. In other words, “thinking” will never solve a problem. What to do?
Listen to your heartbeat, each breath, the blood coursing through your veins, savor the myriad scents carried by the breeze without identifying them, love without criteria. “What to do” is right there in a whisper so loud it shakes the earth. Thinking’s purest form is when it isn’t thinking at all. Did you feel the earth move? You must not be thinking!
