You cannot separate everyday reality from your search to find another truth, a spiritual truth. It is the folly of all searches in that you believe there is something else separate from what is. Regardless of the “search pattern” you have set up to find truth and bring it back to your life, you won’t suddenly be aware because it is not lost! Do you see? You don’t “find” truth, nor can you “think” or express it once you “think” you have found it. You, simply, are it, and its presence is revealed when you cease mentalizing it. No expression is necessary. All that is, now, with YOU at its center, is truth. And, best of all, it’s real! Why not enjoy it?
Get inside yourself, but be quiet. There are a lot of surprises awaiting you.

Happiness, for most, looks more like an escape from the mundane routines and stresses of everyday life than an innate nature that bubbles up from within. Go here or there to destress, get this, own that, a great career, money, responsibility, great marriage, beautiful children, etc., are all the things we chase after, and when we “have” and the thrill of having is gone, happiness seems to have disappeared as well. Now, to escape to the next source of joy. “Getting” is the nemesis of happiness. Its very nature is based on the conceptual idea that something out there is a cause for a felicitous experience. Not only is joy not about “getting,” it is about releasing what you’ve already got, along with the striving to get next, and next and next. Getting is an endless, unfulfilling cycle.
YOU are happiness; YOU are joy all wrapped up in a neat little package that needs nothing to know it. So get “knowing” (YOU) by not “getting” anything to find IT!

Your thoughts run contrary to reality. While seemingly noble and with good intent, there is always an underlying motive your mind controls, and that is to blind you to the otherness it cannot comprehend and never will. It will adopt words, phrases, spiritual concepts, movements, and causes, wrap them in glitter and eloquence, only to seduce you and other minds doing the same thing.
The silence of nothingness is where reality takes form, and it has no voice that can speak words of beauty or ears to hear them. You will “know” when every concept you have mastered, every word, description, and identification your mind harbors is struck dumb, and in that silence, YOU are inseparable from the real. There is no “getting” IT. There is only being IT, and being IT, well, there are just no words!

Freedom is not what you think. The inalienable has no definition and is no possessor of the free. If you “think” you have a “right” to anything you believe qualifies as freedom, you are no longer free. You are a slave to your thoughts; we all are. However, you will always have “what is,” and that requires nothing from you but living it.

You cannot know what’s coming. No one can, because it doesn’t exist, but you can lighten your worries by having some fun now. Collectively, it seems we have reached a point of seriousness we can’t escape, but we haven’t. There is no threshold except the one called “conjecture,” and it’s your creation. We’ve just forgotten how to have fun! That is, “you,” the heartbeat of the collective, has forgotten how to be silly, whimsical, giggly, and generally happy. “Life,” lives you, not the other way around. Take your joy, happiness, silliness, etc., into the life only you can experience. Let all the monsters who seem so dangerous know that you are living and that “what YOU are” gives life, love’s joy, and dances naked in the moonlight. Smile; life giggles at your whimsy, and if you’re actually dancing naked in the moonlight, so am I.

Your “spiritual searching” sidelines reality and removes you from the only possible place where transformation can take place. That is right here, right now. Hoping for something other than “what is” delays any opportunity to experience what your silence already knows.
At any given moment, yes, even this moment, YOU are already far above any dream you have. Opening your mind to dreams is closing your mind to reality. YOU, present, is the only dream worth experiencing.

If the thoughts that emanate from your mind drive a search, or process, formula, etc., it is objectification. All your mind is capable of doing is objectifying reality and does so by naming, defining, organizing, and maintaining a memory that narrowly views “what is.” Your mind is the heartbeat of illusion and the prison walls surrounding reality.
What is real, including YOU, cannot be known through or by your mind. Human understanding can only parse, split up, and minimize “what is,” and the cost is a life of fragmented bits and pieces coupled with narrowly focused and often nutty assertions.
You are infinitely more than you can think, but thinking prevents you from such awareness. Does it not seem obvious what to do? Regardless of what you “think,” have an undefined and incredible day!

What YOU are is never diminished by what you (the human) have said, done, believed, supported, liked, altered, retracted, or any other aspect of the life you have lived. IT simply loves the experience you provide it and smiles all the way. You can know ITS embrace and love for you by connecting to ITS quiet acceptance of all your adventures and everyone else’s, regardless of how you and others may judge them. Love is silent, but it fills the universe.

The common denominator, and thus the only constant in all existence, is YOU, which is inseparable from infinity. That is, all form, divided by the infinite (nothing or everything), makes form impermanent and YOU forever (permanent). Do you see?
How silly it is to place any importance on anything that is not here or appears to be here but eventually isn’t. Money, houses, cars, ideas, governments, education, social status, religion, beliefs, dreams, thoughts, rights, wrongs, good, evil, etc., etc., etc., will never outlast YOU. The very essence from which all that is, is YOU, giving rise to form that inevitably falls away.
The struggle of humans to hang on to the “impermanent” lies at the heart of all suffering. Everything you embrace goes away except YOU, who “looks” and forms again and again, and again. Knowing YOU is the only thing worthy of your attention. Everything else? Love it, have fun with it (or not), and let it go.

The aware have no limits. The “sensational” humans typically categorize as “I can do anything,” or “all things are possible,” is not the limitlessness the aware possess. Limitlessness is freedom from the sensational, the physical, and power-hungry ambitions of humans. It is those very things that awareness has no connection to, and so, the infinite is the range of their purview.
There is no pathway from the finite to the infinite or secular invention, process, and roads that clear your mind and make you aware. Your mind cannot be involved in any way. Your desire and efforts to transcend your situation or circumstances are what keep you from inner knowing. You can only rise above human limitations when you fall below them. That is, what you think “it” is.
Everything comes from nothing; there’s your “unlimited” power and infinite awareness!
