Each of us knows what it is like to be a child. After all, we were all children once without agendas, viewpoints, beliefs, affiliations, prejudices, judgments, etc., until someone told us these things were essential for living and embedded them deep into our consciousness. They were wrong, and YOU (the child) have been lost ever since. None of these things have been or ever will be necessary, but there’s no one to blame, only work to be done.
All of life is yours, just as when you were a child whose perfect little body, born into time and form, was the only thing that prevented you from exploring the infinite without any preconceptions but never stopped you from exploring regardless. You (the child) are still there beneath the clutter of your guarded mind.
The unbridled abandon, purity, and innocence you entered life with is what YOU are. Believe nothing or believe everything, but don’t pick and choose. Love expresses everything and cannot divide anything into chunks of good and evil. You can’t screw this up, so let go! Experience isn’t the same without you, the “wild child!”

The recommendation to seek only the good forces you to restrict what “good” and its subsequent opposite are, leading to criticisms, boundaries, and division. The outcome of seeking only (fill in the blank) creates your particular categories for defining yourself and others, and in the morass of all your particulars, you make a mess. If you only seek what you have characterized as good, you will fail to see the good others seek and, worse, judge their seeking as anathema to yours.

Your way is not the way. It’s just a way, neither good nor bad, and never, ever, a reason to judge another and lose kindness for those who are no less nor greater than you or anyone else. It is the blending of all the ingredients that makes a perfect bowl of soup. And, yes, you too! Seek the “good” but not just what you demarcate good. That would be too confining and distasteful. Don’t forget the freshly baked bread! Mmm, yummy!
