Awareness comes not in the “opening” of your mind. It comes in the closing of it. Your mind loves its platform, knowledge, and ground rules. Life knows none of these things, so it knows no bounds. Neither do you when you are silent and free from what your mind loves.

We like to think we have some control over life through the choices we make and by developing memory skills and other mental processes to improve them when, in truth, we have no control at all.
When you are caught up in your well-practiced “choice-making,” consider every possible thing that could happen under as many circumstances as you can mentally muster. It won’t give you any more control than you already (don’t) have, but at least you are less likely to be surprised when what happens happens.
The reality of living is that anything you do through whatever process you came up with to do it will do. Your “choices” carry anything but your control. Make them (choices) or not; you still live a mystery. Besides, “surprises” are the fun of it.

What most call “newness” typically includes the old descriptions into which anything “new” must somehow fit. Do you see? Humans fancy what they know, even though it stands in the way of what is real and “new.” When you act “because” (whatever your reason), you prevent the beauty of new reflection and undefined awareness from entering reality and, likely, do so under the guise that your old descriptions offer some safety and security. It’s being stuck in words, concepts, and definitions.
Live each moment without your priorly formed descriptions of them. “Newness” is all there ever is, but you will only experience it when you are cleared of all you “know.” In other words, what you know keeps you from knowing! Clear your mind, and your experience is “new.”

It is the nature of Reasonableness; thus, most humans to turn the unfamiliar into the familiar. In other words, we love the safety of familiarity, even if it is wrong, which it typically is. Every moment is a dance with the infinite, and the infinite is a complete mystery even to itself. Your mind is constantly comparing “what was” to the puzzle before you “now” and translating it into something that just isn’t. Reasonableness makes infinity look like anything but “what is,” and that is a tragic loss of this moment’s preciousness.
Throw caution to the wind, be unreasonable, and life unfolds without your resistance; its gift to you will always be a surprise.

Everything you think or believe fades into unimportance when you know what (who) YOU are. That realm of “unimportance” is the blossoming of all that is beautiful, and yes, it’s ALL beautiful.
Be grateful; the ultimate reality of your experience is like being tickled all day long.

What you experience has nothing to do with what you think or believe it to be, nor does it contain any whys or wherefores. You see, humans have an uncanny ability to tack on to “what is” what isn’t and glom onto their assessments as if they could not be anything but real. They’re not. Experience’s “realness” lies only in what you “don’t” think it is.
Nothing you experience is orchestrated, planned, predestined, or set before you to learn cosmic lessons; therefore, everything happens without meaning. You navigate experience with noise and make-believe or with silent wonder and surprise.
It’s more exciting and far less complicated when you experience “experience” without sideshow (mind-based) commentary, analysis, and critique. Of course, you’ll never know until you don’t know. You can’t make it a happy day based on anything you think will make it so, but you can certainly be happy.

Nothing new or special is coming your way and for that, be grateful. You have plenty to experience right now at this moment that has never existed before and will never exist again. Give the present your all, and you will never want for anything else. “NOW” is your treasure.

What you plan for is likely to become the object of your frustration. Only because plans become overly important to the mind (you) who creates them, and no plan, no matter how sophisticated, will ever resolve the quirky, unsophisticated ramblings of life unfolding as it does.
Make your plans, but never forget that the only important thing in life is life. That is the life you experience right now, and if that aligns with your “plans,” consider yourself lucky, and if it doesn’t, allow yourself to meander a new side-road full of adventure and surprise.
Nothing you do is important. Knowing what YOU are is. Sometimes, keeping your heart means losing your mind and all its preparations for what may or may not come.

“Things will never be the same.” Let this not be a statement of last year, this year, yesterday, or today! Let it be a statement of now in which YOUR creating creates. Do you see? When present, YOU are unchanged and unchangeable, and all that is is life written in your hands, never forgotten, never remembered.
There is no time now or ever. There is only YOU, spoken in time but inhabiting forever and forever unchanged. All that is emanates from YOU and is sealed in eternity. You cannot change that. Look at your hands. It’s ALL written there.

Do not resolve to do anything that puts you at odd with your humanness. That is, accept what you are and embrace only that without any of the filters you view life through. Choosing “you,” as is, unfiltered in any way, is reintroducing “you” to the undefined you, the real YOU. It is the only way to experience experience.
