Your causes, beliefs, and life principles have far more power when your life reflects them at all times and in all places. How easy it is to put on display disdain for the “other” and return to safety and comfort at the end of a good demonstration. Do you see? You cannot say your cause matters when its propagation reviles the very reason it became a cause. Hate, fear, violence, and exclusion, to bring about one, will not replace those who love the other. Appeasement is not acceptance; it is fear. Love finds its way through fear; it is the only thing that can.
Love in your heart lives love. Always, without exception or equivocation.

Life, for most of us, is a formulation, a description based solely on conditioning and the ultimate acceptance that “this is how it is.” The range is extensive and varies from “I matter; I don’t matter, I’m good; I’m bad, etc.,” but it’s not which side of the range you see yourself or others on. It’s that you embrace a range of any scale at all! Do you see? As long as you hold to your description of the world and feed it with all the supporting “collective evidence” that you are right, you will always be bound to your judgments, and sadly, miss the beauty before you. In other words, you cannot rise above what you believe.
You can, however, cease to believe anything and come to know only the splendor that cannot be judged. Such “splendor” is everywhere and in everyone. Yes, even YOU!

The supplication of all desire is that God, The Universe, Source, or some other defined or undefined higher power will give you what you want, but what you want is always a development of mental processes. Do you see?
Your mind seeks only “other” that lies outside what YOU know, which cannot be defined. In other words, your desires steer you away from the source of all that is, e.g., YOU. Thinking of “better” rather than “what is” removes you from reality and into the unreality of what isn’t, and even if you somehow get to “what isn’t” at a later time, “desire” for something else will soon spur you on to “other,” again, and again, and again.
Knowing YOU, beyond any mental “knowing,” frees you from what you think and sets you into the actual real that few ever experience. There is nothing that is not YOU, but you’ll never get there through thought. The saying, “desire lights the fire,” might better be said, “desire snuffs out the fire.” Know YOU, and you will never “not” know joy, peace, and happiness!

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.

Your judgments are the evidence your mind develops to separate you from the world and others. It is a colossal refusal to know yourself and reality. If others or the world, in general, offend you, you are in denial of the nightmare that rages within yourself. Until you awaken from that “outward-looking,” your fitful dreaming will prevent you from ever seeing what YOU are.
Your awakening is not a change in the world or in what you perceive as wrong or right. It is your reunion with it and the joyful realization that YOU are not a dream but the Creator of those who do. Reunite, and there is your love, your reality, and eternal peace.

Don’t worry about being your brother or sister’s keeper until you master keeping yourself. A pretty good rule of thumb is, “you’ll likely never master keeping yourself. “I want to help” is a statement of “I know what is best for you,” and while it looks like you may be helping, you are serving your own “wants,” whose ultimate aim is “getting” something you want. Do you see?
Be kind, gentle, and humble, and offer others only love, unnamed, and unparticularized. That is, what “keeps” you, and it will be enough for others, too.

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, that is what YOU are, that is not human, are found in every encounter. The walk in nature, the tree you embrace, the flowers that fill your senses, sunny days, storms, moonlit nights, and the myriad brushes with everything imaginable or unimaginable. YOU are found in all of it, but your mind seeks the comfortable, the easy, and stimulating. Regardless, YOU are there, not as a witness to experience, but as the creator of it, and it just doesn’t matter what you encounter.
Remove anger, emotion, and judgment from your experience and let the purity of your creation, your love, be the focus of your gaze. Creators find peace in all they create and smile a lot, even when their mind is telling them not to.

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.

The world and your possible options to experience it are so vast, bewildering, and inexplicable that it is utterly futile to spend any thought on how to go about living. Do you see? The fullest life is an exploration of what is, as is, without commentary, analysis, or reason. Especially, reason!
There is no hope whatsoever that you or anyone else will ever fathom the infinity surrounding you. All that’s left is to explore what you can and embrace with a smile what you can’t. It will leave you without any time to seek answers to unanswerable questions and full of starry-eyed wonder and awe. It’s an excellent way to go!
