It is profoundly shortsighted for you, me, or anyone to disregard any aspect of others living their lives in such a way that disturbs your beliefs, reasoning, or expectations. There is an incomprehensible vastness to a life that does not fit your structure, but it contains the most simple form of freedom you can experience. Perhaps that “simplicity” is too formidable and disruptive for the sense of safety you’ve (we’ve) created. Those enslaved throughout the quests of human endeavor often tremble at the vastness of freedom. It is “possibility,” too great to conceive and too daunting to pursue while cozy and safe in our beliefs contrived by others. Still, in all of us is the “knowing” there is something more inside that sets us free.
Your dilemma, the dilemma of all, is finding what’s inside that is unafraid of what’s outside. It’s there, but it’s also yours to remember. Good luck.

“And there were giants in the land,” and then none. The only quality we look to from the institutions that were once bastions of integrity is intellect pounding to the drum of rhetoric, which is the progenitor of victimization and moral decay. Institutional intelligence cannot know what “you” feel. Ever! It can only know what it thinks it knows about how you feel, and institutional minds are the new order of leadership globally. Notwithstanding all the so-called brilliance in our institutions, more and more problems emerge in our collective formations.
Stop looking to the world to solve the world’s problems. The world knows not what it does, and if you continue looking to it, neither will you. Who are these “giants,” these women and men of renown? Look behind the eyes of these words you now read. YOU may be one of them. There are so many!

You cannot wish, dream, or hope for a drama-free life and have it happen if you are living with drama now. Do you see? NOW is a transformational place, a place where YOU, the creative center of the universe, step into the reality only YOU can create. End your drama now, and your wishes cease to be your lament.

A leads to B, C, D, etc., the causal world we are told to live in and accept. However, such a world is also the basis for “I am not responsible for my life.” In other words, someone or something pressing on me caused it to happen, and “I” therefore need not accept what happens as something I willingly accept as the experience I am seeking. WRONG! A, B, C, and D all exist simultaneously with “you” in realms you cannot begin to comprehend in human form, making you the non-caused effect of all that is. Do you see? A B, C, and D do not exist before your experience of yourself, so nothing “presses” on you that isn’t already YOU.
Lose the thinking and vocabulary of “to me,” e.g., “why, is this happening to me,” or “this shouldn’t be happening to me, etc., etc.” In time, you will know that all that happens is YOU, being you in a non-causal experience. The “effects” of which are nothing but YOU, albeit incredible!

We think we know, but we don’t. About what? About everything or anything. Your learning, culture, ethnicity, faith, family, invention, and on and on are not the boon to peace, raised consciousness, or awareness you or the world seek. Remember a time in your life, and thus common human experience, when nothing was known, and only then was there the awareness that comes with a deep connection to silence. It is the silence of not knowing. It is the silence of nothing showing up as everything.
Such silence cannot speak, think, or understand. It merely hears, as if, the voice of Gods illuminating the depths of infinity. Find this silence once again, and you will know, but such “knowing” can never take residence in your mind. It’s worth a visit. Peace, Carl

Your desires connect you to the materiality of your mind, which is attached to the things of the world. In other words, attachments close your eyes to the true nature of “what is” and “what is” is never born of desire. The magic of creation is simply that “what is” is never apart from what YOU are. In other words, the secret to “more” is “desiring” less.

Worry not about the changing world and your place in it. Change is not a spiritual phenomenon that leads to awareness; instead, it is a platform for platitudes that arise out of window dressing and the thrill that comes in moments of rearrangement. In other words, you “changing” will not change anything.
Awareness happens when the norms for seeking it, learning it, and becoming it transforms into “it.” Do you see? “It” already is, and YOU already are, and there are no additions or subtractions to the “change” equations we love to express as necessary to a better world. “Transformation” does not happen one individual at a time, just YOU all the time. Try “it” for a change.

Your greatest limitation, everyone’s that is, is not what you fear but what you believe. Beliefs are an assault on any possibility of being present, and the filter straining out the real so that the unreal (beliefs) remains intact. Clarity is clear, and what you hold in your mind, believe, or don’t believe, think possible or impossible smudges the window of reality. Awareness is only known through optics without the taint and dinge of what your mind wants you to believe is.
Lose them (beliefs), and the window’s new transparency lets in new light that exposes any fear as a shackle to living more abundantly. I promise, then again, don’t “believe” a word I say!

What you think (about anything) will always be limited by what you think. Do you see? The infinite is not containable in thought or any stream of thoughts. Your capacity to fathom the eternal only happens when it is clear that the vibration of “nothing” (the infinite) is the vibration of your mind. In other words, the infinite begets infinity, and that is not something you can know or think about! Lose your mind!

All the virtues humans ascribe to, such as honesty, trust, kindness, joy, caring, etc., are not pursuable, as they are the result of awareness. That is, “what YOU are” underneath all the stuff of human experience and everything you think and believe. Do you see? YOU already are what you seek to become, making the only worthy pursuit in life, if you must have one, knowing YOU, and that knowing will never be achieved from a so-called spiritual journey!
Let “what YOU are” simply BE. All that other stuff will tag along anyway.
