Life is always flowing, never pausing, or circling to take you through its various ventures again and again, nor is it contemplating you the way you contemplate it. Most live as though they must “get it right, whatever that means and in not doing so, they pronounce the epithet “it’s all wrong.” Meanwhile, life is moving on just as it always does without care or concern about what you think or do.
Move on. It’s freeing, and nothing you’ve experienced or learned is required to embrace and appreciate the pristine newness of what is happening now. There is nothing but “new” in your life. Every moment is as pure as newly fallen snow. Play in it!

There is no meaning or essential purpose you must have in life, something you must go to, find, or discover that gives value and defines who you are. You living is the purpose. In other words, you give meaning to life as you live it, not the other way around. Meaning and purpose are mind-made constructs that, instead of giving you something to be or do, actually take away from what YOU are. Do you see?
Knowing YOU is merely being you in whatever the moment presents, without the question, “Why is this happening?” Or worse, “why is this happening to me?” YOU are the only happening, and without YOU happening, nothing else happens! YOU are everything, and there’s a lot of meaning to YOU, happening!

Today is your day. Not in the sense that it comes to you bearing gifts and experiences fit for your joy, fulfillment, and happiness. Instead, you are its creator, and every miracle it contains, every encounter it provides, is born of your hands. Life is not written for you; it is written by YOU, and all it contains is YOUR gift to the created. You should smile at that. As for me, I’m grateful that YOU created all of this just for me to be a part of!

YOU have no potential. That’s right, none at all. But you don’t need it either. The potential self you think you must become is lower than what YOU are without such thoughts. Potential comes with lists and “to-dos,” rights and wrongs, and made-up stuff stemming from your buy-in to the paradigm that says everyone is on a path to improve and learn. Climb the mountain, and you will see, it is said, but all you see is another mountain and a list of things you must do to conquer it. “I wonder if I have the ‘potential, blah, blah, blah?’”
Climb mountains, not because you must get to the top to benefit from some “potential” improvement myth. YOU are already atop the highest of them all, and not once did you ascend to get there! Don’t look down; just let go. Awareness sees nothing but beauty, and YOU are already there! That is, if you drop out of the school of “potential.”

You are the maker of the mountain you think you must climb, not the climber of it. The view from the top is yours only when you get that what YOU are is where you are. Rest a bit and have a look. There’s nothing more beautiful than the “top” upon which you presently stand!

The basis of all religions, all spirituality, is to separate you from the form (consciousness) you think you are. That is, to free you from any connection that hooks you to mind and body. Your mind makes a compelling case for form and weaves itself into every aspect of life, making it challenging to “unhook” and recognize that something much more profound and mysterious is the real essence of your existence. The more you want, the more you think about getting, and the more you get, the stronger the pull into mind and body. YOU are more than any thought your mind conjures, but your mind will keep on inventing grandiose and profound form-filled scenarios to keep you, the finite, from knowing YOU, the infinite. Solution? Think less, believe less, and lo, YOU emerge.

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.
