Don’t let your genius lull you into self-importance, superiority, or reasoning that concludes a solution to every mystery. You, me, education, science, religion, government, politics, etc., etc., will never know what lies beneath the experience you or anyone else has and why events unfold as they do. The human mind is fundamentally lazy and loves the safety and assurance of a “fixed position” that rarely, if ever, changes. Awareness is witness to all that is, without the slightest sense of why or how. You simply experience more when your mind is not looking to apply “what was” to “what is.”
All knowledge is a storehouse of “what was” that has nothing to do with “what is.” Clearing the warehouse opens your eyes to the real and uncouples genius from mystery. It is the only way to see. Experience the day for “real.”

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.

YOU are infinite void, still, silent, but illuminating, while “all that is” moves inexorably through the never-ending space YOUR emptiness provides. YOU illuminate the movement of all things, the looks of passers-by, buildings, trees, stars, and myriad other forms that grace existence, and yet, YOU are immoveable.
Nothing in life shows up for you. It appears because of YOU. Let it all in and let it out. Emptiness allows everything, and stillness illuminates it. All that’s left at the end of the show are smiles, but the “show” never ends!

Humans try desperately to escape the many diverse situations they find themselves in, seeking something new that promises better opportunities. However, escaping from a mind that seeks “other” is the more empowering endeavor. Do you see? Escaping from any situation that lugs the thoughts that convinced you escape was necessary is like carrying your prison cell around with you and imposing its confinement on anything new you encounter.
Your mind is your prison. Until you break free from its unceasing and virtually unlimited arguments, the freedom you seek will always be within the walls you build. Get out of your mind! As “crazy” as it sounds, it is the only “freedom” worth pursuing.

Life has no way or propensity to “fall apart.” Humans, on the other hand, let it happen by giving way to mind-made expectations that do not pan out as thought or taught. Do you see? Your idea of life “falling apart” is a rigid belief, for whatever reason, that you have any control over the movement of an infinite spectacle that does what it does without any input or expectation from you. Give it up!
The upside of “giving up,” however, is that when you do, you have a chance to see that life never stops living because you think it should be other than what it is. Nor should you. “Falling apart” is the present moment’s awareness that nothing stands in the way of pristine newness that is continuously exploding into life. Wonders always unfold for those who live. Live now, live forever! They’re the same!

Making sense of life, a futile practice of all humans, requires you to vacate any beliefs you have about it. While that won’t necessarily help it make sense, it may just free you from the notion that life need not make sense to be loved and fully lived.
The clean slate always gets the newest chalk, e.g., new formulations, challenges, and encounters. Clear yourself of any idea that you have or can figure life out, and you will soar into a vast unknown that has no boundaries but exhilarates with surprise and wonder each moment. Exciting day, Carl

You are not graded for living, nor are there any tests or special qualifications you must pass in order to move on to some other plane of awareness on some path to an existence that doesn’t exist. Do you see?
There is nothing you need to add to yourself to know yourself, and knowing what YOU are, outside all the things you are taught will never add up to perfection. And, yes, YOU are already perfect. You have a life; don’t let anything you or anyone else believe otherwise prevent you from living it!

You cannot be stressed, angry, sad, depressed, unhappy, etc., if you are not thinking about it. All emotional responses have a direct link to thinking, which is always a narrow, singularly focused view of life, and it is likely made up as well. In short, thinking about what is happening is not your friend; instead, it is your deception.
There is, however, a part of you that sees all and knows all, all without knowing anything at all. Confusing? Yes, but it is that part of you that never listens to the other voice in your head that chatters incessantly. “Quiet” is spacious, teeming with life, and has no ears to hear what you, otherwise, noisily think.
You need not “focus” on listening. That’s just another thing to think about. All you need to do is be quiet. The first thing you might hear is your heartbeat. That is the door, and it’s anyone’s guess what’s on the other side. Walk through it anyway.

“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.
