What you focus on is your trouble. Inner peace comes with what you don’t focus on. Do you see? Nothing to “focus” on liberates your mind-filled warehouse, full of previous focal points, beliefs, rules, taboos, fears, and so-called “lessons learned,” giving you fresh, clear eyes to see.
Preconception is nothing more than recycled “old” information. It makes no room for newness or clarity, and humans are exceptional “preconceivers,” masterful junk collectors, and generally blind to anything that lies outside their rigid inventory of life lessons. Simply stated, reality does not show up in any mind.
It seems obvious what to do, but it takes work. Most warehouses (minds) are so full, and emptying is so daunting we close the door, turn out the lights, and give way to the next moment of “preconception.” Breathe deeply and go to work. Reality is too excellent to miss; anything you do to clear your mind will open you to unimaginable surprises and light!

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.

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!

Do you respond to or relate to life? They who know their inner God, the divine self, have a relationship with life, which is incredible. The egoic identity tends to respond and react to life. Where do you fall?
