Right now, let “what YOU are” outside egoic epitaphs be the only voice that speaks and the only one that hears. You’ll know this voice because it will not talk in any language or other sensory forms. There is nothing to hear except virtue welling up from the fountain of eternal springs. Don’t sully the waters with your thoughts or expressions.

Wanting is not a driver of getting. Seriously, can you think of anything more grand and wondrous than the breath you are taking right now, your heart beating to a cosmic rhythm, and the essence of all that is coursing through you? How could you “want” anything more incredible than the sun on your face or raindrops tapping your window, a lover’s kiss, a friend’s warm embrace, or a smile?
When you pander to the universe, as we are oft told to do, you give way to the mundane, the selfish, and the unreal. The ultimate joy lies beneath anything you could wish for, and it quietly awaits you to be present with all that you already have, all that you already are. Simply, YOU have everything, and “having” everything means YOU “are” everything! YOU are “joy,” but only when you “want” for nothing!

“It is good.” Encompassing words uttered at the moment of creation, your creation, unfettered by any division whatsoever. Nothing exists without YOU; only when you divide against yourself does good become something else. Something unreal.
The heart of all that is doesn’t beat within your chest. It is YOU quietly humming a rhythm and eternity dancing to the subtle beat of “it is good.” Give gratitude and thanks for being included in life’s (YOUR) most fantastic song.

There is nothing to spirituality. When you’re there, you’ll know, and when you “know,” there’s “nothing” to know.

You can’t fix anyone you judge needs fixing, but you can fix yourself from all attempts to “fix” others. What you define as broken exposes your brokenness, not theirs. Kindness is not a shrug of the shoulders and a sigh of disdain. It emanates from a heart that embraces all of life’s nuance and variations and smiles at the pleasure of intermingling, without judgment, those who are not like you. In other words, you should be smiling a lot!

“Why callest thou me good,” said Jesus to his disciples. Even the “good” you attribute to your nature or the nature of others is an identity only humans formulate. Do you see? No one is good, and no one is bad. Identifying with any trait, attribute, characteristic, etc., that makes you unique only keeps you from knowing anything else that makes all of humanity the immense spectacle it is. And it is a spectacle whose colors reach into eternity!
Unless you see without seeing that “good” is different from what you identify as bad, your experience is destined to be shallow, full of division and judgment, and, effectively, unreal. Who does that? Sadly, we all do. Give up all your identifications, and you will discover “humanity.” It won’t be good or bad, but it will be spectacular.

What voice do you hear? Religious, spiritual, scientific, political, philosophical, psychological, etc.? It’s easy to tell if you’re honest, but most are not. For instance, religious and spiritual “listeners,” whose foundational principles might include “love thy neighbor as thyself” or “we are all one,” often spew venom at the listener with a scientific or political melody and vice versa. Do you see? The problem with hypocrisy is that few, if any, perceive their own while we all wreak of it.
Regardless of the multitudes who believe as you do and with whom you take comfort, your beliefs are not a “get out of jail free” card. Your “rightness” is also your condemnation. It’s easy to see if you look, but will you? Comfort and safety are hard to break free of. After all, everyone’s doing it. Just sayin’. Peace.

Imposing your rules on life only serves to interfere with it, and not for the better. Imagine your fist raised against a river’s flow, demanding it change its course. Oh, the hubris to think you have any control over anything. Silly!
Observe “what is” with humility and quiet. Life un-interfered-with is not something you wrestle with by applying your version of what it should be. Instead, it is something to behold with reverence and awe.

Remembering is the alter-ego of forgetting. Forgiveness’s elemental power is freeing you to know “what YOU are,” but that can’t happen if you hang on to things that take you from it, e.g., all that you remember.
Sure, you can move on, but without forgetting, the anchor of remembering grows more massive, and the power of forgiveness fades under the weight. The loss is only yours, and it is an enormous loss. Forgive and forget; if you don’t, you’ll never “remember” YOU!

What you say about anyone says more about you than the reality you think you are expressing. There is but one side to any one of us worthy of expression, if at all, and that is, we are Gods, steeped in human form and experience. You can be the love that is only expressed in the God you are or the human who is judgmental, egoic, and easily waylaid by collective streams of consciousness.
It doesn’t matter which way you go, but I promise you, Gods have way more fun, no stress, and endless joy. Oh, and Gods don’t choose; they create “what they are,” continually smiling at the silliness of the human forms they experience. Is that YOU, smiling?
