As long as you have “reasons” to remember, you cannot forgive. Life is an incomprehensible, irrevocable mystery, perfectly formed and flawlessly executed. It is without memory or consequence, and the only glimmer you will ever have of its nature is to forgive all you have strapped to its performance. That is, remember nothing and no one you hold to account.

What you cannot forgive makes you unforgivable, but life lives you regardless. It’s just more enjoyable when your reasons for misery no longer exist. You did what? I don’t remember!

It is a fallacy to assume you “see people as they are.” At best, you only see what you think, which is always wrong. What is not a fallacy is that what you think of others is the small, constant leak of your power and never-ending connection to the unreal. In other words, you cannot know “what YOU are” if you think you possess the mental tools to know someone else.

Life moves without reason or opinion, and its power is vast enough for all that is, whether you get it or not. However, it will elude you entirely if you think you actually “get it.” Stopping your leakage means containing the thought that you have the unique ability to see the leaks in others. All that leakage—what a mess! Do some cleanup on yourself.

Compassion extends beyond your concern for another’s pain, loss, or suffering. Its most generous outreach is when you give way to the reality that you can do nothing to ease it. It is there that you are whole, which others can embrace while letting go.

Truth gets swept into the unimportant and the unnecessary, and you hold the broom that so masterfully does the sweeping. The clear view is not beholden to thought; the only thing needing sweeping is what you believe. Clear your mind, and the house is without the need for sweeping.

If all that is is spiritual (and it is), then any position you take, belief you hold, and judgments you make are no more spiritual than others you disparage. Spirituality has nothing to do with your sense of right but everything to do with your sense of wrong. That is, loving the wrong you compare to your right.
Love and spirituality know no opposites. Do you?

All paths, and yes, even yours and mine, “lead nowhere,” but if it has all of you, heart and soul, fully engaged, singing, dancing, laughing, and crying, it is a path like no other, and it is good. Where you “walk to” doesn’t exist, so why ask questions without answers? Walking all by itself takes you on the ride of your life.

“The path with heart,” shamans call it. Only your heart illuminates the steps you take, but the light only shines in the unquestioning silence of your soul. When you get “nowhere,” look me up; that is if I get there.

How much do you really know? How much can you know? The paradox of human affairs is that we “think” we’re pretty smart and make well-informed decisions and assessments when, in reality, we never have enough data. All judgments are speculative at best and always based on insufficient information.
Question your thoughts as incessantly as they permeate your mind. You may not be able to stop them, but you may get an ever so slight chance to withhold ill-advised judgments and unnecessary complications in your dealings with others.

The great thing about home; your inner home, that is, is that it never needs to be built. No education, contracts, architectural or engineering drawings, furnishings, landscaping, etc., are required. It is the most beautiful and elegant place in the universe, and all it takes to enter is to vacate all your busy mind’s preconception, judgment, and reason.
Perfection cannot be dreamed, thought, master-planned, or achieved. You enter it, and the good news is that it is always right here, right now, waiting for you to stop by.

Regardless of its causes, purity, spiritual basis, etc., collectives are an assemblage of the weak, the unsure, and certainly those too full of doubt and fear to act courageously without a crowd. Collectives are a harbor of sunken ships.
Creators, in all their manifestations, are solitary, courageous, quietly rising in the face of all weakness. They are the lighthouses seen from afar, creating safe harbors.
Check your “crowd” affiliations; they reflect your weakness, and they’re not making you any more robust than you are on your own. What YOU are, only when away from the crowd, stands solitary, sturdy, even in the fiercest storms.

The “ego” you disagree with is the most straightforward way for you to glimpse your own (ego).  Ego, agreeing with other egos, turns into condescension fueled by the security that comes in numbers doing the same. What is always in play in either scenario is your ego and all ego ever wants to be is right and have its way. You might even call it the “dictator,” which is all of us when exchanging with other egos.

Can ego be overcome? No, but you can be quiet and not “engage” by agreeing or disagreeing with any other ego. Tough to do, but in the depths of silence lies the serenity of love, joy, peace, and kindness. Regardless of your thoughts, these things only show up when your mind is still, your lips are not moving (talking), and your heart is open. Can you be still? Yes. Will you? You have a chance if you don’t “think” about it.
