Being aware is full engagement with “what is” in the moment. That is, all in, with no movement of thought akin to walking along a mountain stream and encountering a bear a few yards away walking toward you. Before a single thought arises, you are fully present and engaged; every sense heightened, your mind crystal clear because it has yet to start a disconnecting conversation. Mind without thought is the only clarity you can experience, and what comes after is either a stream of thought clouding things up or awareness that has no connection to anything, learned, believed, imagined, or experienced. Be “all in,” but don’t think about what being “all in” is; that will only take you out.

What YOU are beyond your human form adores everything that manifests in three-dimensional time and space, and that adoration is available to the human form if it (you) would merely shut up and listen. There is nothing you do or don’t do in this life that displeases “what YOU are.” Now, your mind tells you otherwise, but that’s what needs to shut up. Zip it, live it, and love it!

Conditioning is your puppet strings. That is, your upbringing, nationality, ethnicity, religion, social status, politics, education, name, etc., is the groundwork for everything you encounter in life and the basis of what you see. It is the web of judgment that traps you and everyone else in division and a world of right and wrong. The only way to eradicate it is to tear down the web. There is no light in the world until every light (individual) shines without the scrutiny of mind-made dimmer switches, and every judgment you make dims your light, not theirs. If you are sensitive to energy, check your “dimmer switch.” When you’re full “on” all that is resonates with you.

Discontent arises when you attempt to replace what is with something you make up that isn’t. Do you see? Trying to replace “what is” with something else to soothe your discontent is running from the very essence of life. That is, you live what is, but only imagine what isn’t. One is real and the other unreal, and you will never know fullness until you stop trying to replace what is with something else that isn’t. What it boils down to is that life lived as a “supposed to be” will always be a miserable life because “what is” doesn’t listen to anything you think it should be. It just is, and so should you! Running from what makes you unhappy is not going to take you to happy. If you can’t find it here, now, you won’t find it anywhere else.
There are no replacements for the present. Take what you get, as running to nowhere can be exhausting.

The search you embark on takes time, e.g., “in time I will get to the thing I seek,” but no one ever does because time does not exist. It is the great deception of the ego to lure you into getting something, you must pay the price of time for. We even create mythologies to extend the “time” we have to figure it out. Do you see? Time cannot be a cause of change. The present is the only place where anything can happen. In other words, everything happens NOW, where time has no existence, and change has no future. YOU are infinite but only NOW! Live instead of looking; it’s just more fun!

All your effort to comprehend life isn’t worth it if you miss out on it. You’ll never know, nor will anyone. Meaning and purpose are myths your mind conjures and sends you in pursuit of, all the while life presents itself in myriad ways no mind, or collection of minds, could fathom, let alone know it when it saw it. What is all too often missing from life is “you” when you’re out pursuing something your mind has you chasing after. Did you get that? You are the essential ingredient to all of life. Living, coupled with your active participation in it, is where joy is, and while you may never know why happiness springs from within you, it won’t matter. Living is its own party, and it alone overrides all mind-based nonsense you happen to be seeking. You’ve got a life; why not live it?

“Your reality” has everything to do with what you think, but “true reality” has nothing to do with what you think. Thinking is your bias, and that is all. It is neither true nor untrue; it is just bias formed over the life you have experienced. Stepping away from bias (what you think) is difficult, if not impossible, but it is the only way to experience true reality, and it is the only way to appreciate the vast mystery you are surrounded by.
It is not incumbent upon you or anyone else to know or answer life’s mysteries. Life is simply yours to live without reason or why, and the fewer reasons and whys you have, the more abundant it is. That is, “reality” is as close as losing “your reality.”

Your eyes are never as wide open as when they have no description of what they see. In other words, what you know, brought to the forefront of “what is” is memory, not awareness. “What is” is devoid of all that you remember. Now forget and have a fantastic day!

Your search for whatever it is you seek is a coming from or a going to. Did you get that? Coming from is the past, and going to is the future. Neither exists. In other words, “what is” is all there is, and it requires nothing you seek in the imaginary to know its miracles. Life never passes you by; you do that, unwittingly, looking for it where it cannot be. Where YOU stand now is holy ground, not what you search for. Stand still and know the looker who looks. That’s seeing.

Silence has no words, associations, descriptions, or assumptions for the present moment you create. It is not the opposite of noise as most of us think of it. It is all things without definition, spring without winter, fall without summer, life billowing without meaning. Silence is where the miraculous precedes the mundane. It is everything and nothing, smiling at the ALL that has no explanation. It is YOU smiling with the created.
