Separation is uniquely “I” (ego) based. That is, whatever reasoning or beliefs you adhere to, whether religion, politics, nationality, gender, ethnicity, social status, education, etc., you are the sole source of separation and any discord you sense is with that which lies outside your point of view. Furthermore, those who subscribe to your separation (agree with you) do not make you “one” with them. It just feeds your ego with the security of numbers, e.g., “look at all those who feel and believe as I do. I (we) must be right.”
Your “truth,” as it is bandied about in spiritual speak, is not truth if in any way it separates you from another, regardless of any moral code you subscribe to. Oneness is love, and love is without reason of any kind. Sinner or saint is not distinguishable. Love is our core and thus surrounds us all.

Give way to the mystery that is the foundation of your experience. Embrace love instead, and whatever unfolds, it will carry you through. Lighten the load of all that you feel you must shoulder, especially the burdens of heavy thoughts and resentments. The less you have to think about, the less you have to fear.
Ease, always, into life with your wits, kindness, and smile. Life will smile back.

The “best” never comes. It just is, and it is right now. It’s not how you view it that makes it so. Your view is fraught with beliefs, judgments, prejudices, conjectures, hopes, and dreams, so much so that actual awareness of “what is” rarely happens. Seeing has no voice, no mind, and no description, and “the best” is always right now, right where you are, and it is oozing with beauty. And why wouldn’t it be beautiful? YOU created it and, well, YOU are the best!

Oneness with now is free of any want for something else. In other words, the ultimate living is life, as is.

The past is unfixable, the future unattainable. A single thought of either transports you from the intimacy that only exists where you stand at this moment. Look only to now, and you will never be without love and the peace afforded only in the present.

Fear of the unknown is ultimately fear of losing the known. That is, your mind braces at giving up the comfort of what it thinks it knows for something it cannot define. Agreements, with what you think you know, are neat little traps that hold you to comfort, not reality. You will never “know” what you don’t know until what you know is put aside. It’s a leap into mystery from which there is no return, but there is nothing like it in all the “known” and “unknown” universe! Take a breath, close your eyes, and let go! It’ll last forever!

Life is without motive, and living should be too. Ego has motives that thwart the very essence of living with something perceived that must be achieved. What you are, before any thought, is stillness and tranquility ungarbled by the difficulties of change and achievement, motivated by an insatiable ego that must have in order to be. Motives driven by desire require prior knowledge and thought, while life, in its purest form, is a mystery, unabated by anything you think it is or should be. Taking a step into living is not an act of faith; it’s an act of courage requiring stepping into the unknown and the unknowable. Think about it all you want, and you still don’t know.

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.

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?

The path you take is a path that has already been taken by countless others and is not traveled less or more than any other. That is, your search has an ending you believe is where you want to be, but “what YOU are” outside what you search for is endless, infinite, and eternal; literally unreachable! There’s nowhere you need or can go because all so-called paths are the same and can lead to only one place in all existence. That is to YOU.
You stare out into the expanse, and all you see completely encircles you, and in quiet knowing, all of it emanates from eyes that you will never see. YOU are the Creator of creation. Paths and searches can only take you away from what already is. YOU are always home!
