You lose power to beliefs and endeavors that entangle you in human systems and causes, you and others associate with spiritual awareness. In other words, if you are struggling “for” something you are struggling “against” something, and that is an entanglement that draws you from all the virtues ascribed to spirituality, e.g., honesty, integrity, goodness, clarity, joy, love, kindness, etc.
You are not a voice or advocate for anything you scream in another’s ear. You’re just noise that has given power to the unimportant, and that distracts you from the sweetness of human connection. Anything that takes any part of you from the inner sanctity “YOU are” is the saddest of all human losses because it never has to be so. Give your power to love, and you will never lose it to meaningless entanglements.

Making sense of life, a futile practice of all humans, requires you to vacate any beliefs you have about it. While that won’t necessarily help it make sense, it may just free you from the notion that life need not make sense to be loved and fully lived.
The clean slate always gets the newest chalk, e.g., new formulations, challenges, and encounters. Clear yourself of any idea that you have or can figure life out, and you will soar into a vast unknown that has no boundaries but exhilarates with surprise and wonder each moment. Exciting day, Carl

You are not graded for living, nor are there any tests or special qualifications you must pass in order to move on to some other plane of awareness on some path to an existence that doesn’t exist. Do you see?
There is nothing you need to add to yourself to know yourself, and knowing what YOU are, outside all the things you are taught will never add up to perfection. And, yes, YOU are already perfect. You have a life; don’t let anything you or anyone else believe otherwise prevent you from living it!

Thinking is a noisy affair that creates a chaotic mind, whose constant chatter drowns out silence, the emptiness into which all that is real emerges. Do you see? Nothing you think is real; it’s conceptual, and the very act of conceptualizing reality takes you into the land of dreams, hopes, and beliefs, which only adds noise to the already unreal.
The saying, “Be still and know that I (you are) am God,” is not a roadmap detailing how you come to “know” God or even your so-called self. It is a simple petition that you cannot “think” your way to knowing what YOU already are, so why “think” about it at all? Your eyes see what they see without you or anyone else understanding how or why they do.
Silence is creation, and YOU are the Creator. Silence lets you be that. Don’t give it a single thought!

You cannot be stressed, angry, sad, depressed, unhappy, etc., if you are not thinking about it. All emotional responses have a direct link to thinking, which is always a narrow, singularly focused view of life, and it is likely made up as well. In short, thinking about what is happening is not your friend; instead, it is your deception.
There is, however, a part of you that sees all and knows all, all without knowing anything at all. Confusing? Yes, but it is that part of you that never listens to the other voice in your head that chatters incessantly. “Quiet” is spacious, teeming with life, and has no ears to hear what you, otherwise, noisily think.
You need not “focus” on listening. That’s just another thing to think about. All you need to do is be quiet. The first thing you might hear is your heartbeat. That is the door, and it’s anyone’s guess what’s on the other side. Walk through it anyway.

“How does this serve me?” Have you ever asked the question? “This,” whatever “it” happens to be, is your mind asking why life happens to you and how it happening benefits you. Underneath all questioning, what YOU are is the only real question worth having an answer to. Do you see?
Life doesn’t ask questions because YOU are the only question and its subsequent answer. In other words, life lives YOU, not for you. YOU are the infinite, out of which all that is finite proceeds, and life, however it manifests, is just passing through, YOU. Wave it on and smile as it passes. YOU are all it’s got, and it loves you for it.

Perception, coupled with language, is dreams forged in the unreal, the non-existent. Un-coupled with language, perception stops time but lasts forever. Suspend narratives and see.

Awareness “knows” no truth. You see, it doesn’t need to. “It” already is, all that is. You, me, anyone, everyone attempting to define awareness is not the truth, but rather the tainting of it. Eyes open to truth are, simply, open.

You are entangled with all that is, regardless of its distance or time from you, negating attraction, philosophy, psychology, religion, and politics altogether. It’s not about your mind and its most grand imaginings, the goodness of your intentions, your caring heart. It’s YOU enwrapped in a universal soup that streams the infinite. YOU are the flavor of life; when you’re not “present,” it loses its taste.

You gain nothing in this life, believing you existed in another and will exist in yet another after this one. If all of you is not in play, here and now, you’re not “here,” and you’re not “now.” You already know this. You are missed when you’re somewhere else. Fantastic day, right where YOU are!
