You cannot know or explain the human condition (no one can) until you know your own, and you will never know your own. The only life to-do is your life, and it is in no way, shape, or form applicable to anyone other than you, and it is a twenty-four-seven affair that never takes a break. Get busy; you are all there is, but there is plenty of “you” to-do!

No one can know what the universe won’t tell, and it doesn’t reveal much, leaving what we think we know as little more than a melding of theory, conjecture, and make-believe. All you can know is that “what YOU are” creates an exquisite, cosmic soup with no recipe but contains the most beautiful ingredients and delicious flavors. You’ll “get it” when “what you know” is no longer known. Do you see?
What you know is the chemical additives and artificial flavors mixed in with an already tasty and healthy entrée. You don’t need them to relish the meal. All you need do is to be present at the table, open to surprise and adventure. Bon appétit!

Joy thrives regardless of circumstances. That is your circumstances or anyone else’s that you think is better or worse than yours. Having or getting adds confusion and anxiety to a mind beset with more of what it doesn’t have, and joy, happiness, and contentment are the cost. Realizing “what YOU are” is inexplicable joy carried evermore into where you are regardless of the circumstances. In other words, YOU’ve got it all. Why not enjoy it?

The mind is eager to jump on board with new buzz words, concepts, and “aha’s,” but the typical mechanism for doing so is “weaponized philosophy” that often looks like “I must comprehend, integrate and blend “mentally” (with all the crap I think and believe already) so this “new thing” can find a permanent place in me.” Do you see?
Trying to control, deny, or repress philosophically “what is” will never alter “what is.” It will, however, embed deeper into what you wish to replace, undo, or integrate. Reality is always and only “what it is,” and you never “get it” by trying to understand it. “Getting it” is living “it” as a present-moment experience. All discovery happens in the present, not the thought of the present but the unconscious experience of it, just as it is.
Don’t try clearing your mind of what you don’t want or like. There is always a blue sky” that is there regardless of a cloudy mind. Holster your weapons (philosophy) and embrace the clouds with nary a thought that something is wrong and needs fixing. See, it’s already clearing!

Awareness is not time-sensitive; nothing infinite is. Once touched by the hand of awareness, nothing you think you lost to it can ever hold you captive to regret or sadness. YOU reside in the never-ending moment of eternity, and its realization frees you from the finite quandaries of an indulgent mind that continually seeks gratification and approval. You never need to spend time getting what is when “what is” is everything. YOU know this!
ALL is before you but, more realistically, because of YOU. Hence, you never need more time because you’ve never lost anything to it. Find a moment of awareness; it will look much like YOU without the gobbledegook!

Nothing you know, experience, believe, or do indicates what (who) YOU are. The path to awareness of YOU is a present one, burdened by the weight of things important to the world and your mind, none of which are. Getting to “Self” is as easy as getting over yourself. However, getting over yourself is a challenge your mind will not let go of smoothly, and indeed, the world will assist with reminders of how important the unimportant is.
Awareness of “What YOU Are” is worth any effort to dis-identify with what “you” or anyone else “thinks” you are. If you “do” anything, do that!

“Let go of what no longer serves me,” we hear or say to ourselves as if anything or anyone is here to “serve” us. How pompous! Love serves. That’s all it does, regardless of your feelings that “you are no longer served” by anything you think exists for your benefit.
Reject the idea that the flow of life events and people must serve you. Love “serves” and nothing more. That is, if you are love, it pours from you regardless of circumstance and will fill you beyond anything that could possibly be of service to you otherwise.

Heaven forbid you ever become what you think. What YOU are would be sorely missed. Actually, most, if not all of us, are sorely missed. Come back, and when you get here, l could use some help returning, too.

The awareness most seek begins amidst a nightmare created in the mind and well-articulated in speech. In other words, your judgment of how horrible things are is not the place to start anything, let alone spiritual awareness. Your mind will always remind you of the difficult position from which your search began, and that will be the anchor keeping you from what it is you think you must find.
You must awaken within the nightmare you have determined exists and “get” that what you think is real is only because you think it. The awakening that keeps you separate is a continuation of an already predetermined nightmare you believe is what separates you from it. In other words, sweet dreams and nightmares are not real. YOU are!

To your mind (all minds, that is), awareness looks like something that happened to you or someone else in the past, which is codified and proceduralised so that you can experience it again and again in the future. Just follow the procedure. Sadly, awareness is not a product of the past or the future, nor is there a set of rules and guidelines that will take you to it. In other words, “awareness” begins and ends with YOU, NOW, devoid of rhyme or reason. Stop following the rules!
