What YOU are is never diminished by what you (the human) have said, done, believed, supported, liked, altered, retracted, or any other aspect of the life you have lived. IT simply loves the experience you provide it and smiles all the way. You can know ITS embrace and love for you by connecting to ITS quiet acceptance of all your adventures and everyone else’s, regardless of how you and others may judge them. Love is silent, but it fills the universe.

Your thinking, doing, saying, intending, worshiping, politicking, loving, hating, fearing, and all the other things ending in “ing” are successors to a silent will that knows nothing, needs nothing, makes no judgments, and holds everything. Repress the bad and exploit the good, even though recognition of either is the heart of suffering. Stop it!
The predecessor of suffering exists before bad and good take form, and it is what YOU are that whispers to a conflicted mind, busy doing all its “ing’s.” Lose all definitions of yourself and everyone/everything else, and all that is left is the infinite, e.g., YOU, birthing the totality. Your mind is the door, but it blocks it with the noise of all its “doings.” Silence is the key to discovering what lies beyond it.

The common denominator, and thus the only constant in all existence, is YOU, which is inseparable from infinity. That is, all form, divided by the infinite (nothing or everything), makes form impermanent and YOU forever (permanent). Do you see?
How silly it is to place any importance on anything that is not here or appears to be here but eventually isn’t. Money, houses, cars, ideas, governments, education, social status, religion, beliefs, dreams, thoughts, rights, wrongs, good, evil, etc., etc., etc., will never outlast YOU. The very essence from which all that is, is YOU, giving rise to form that inevitably falls away.
The struggle of humans to hang on to the “impermanent” lies at the heart of all suffering. Everything you embrace goes away except YOU, who “looks” and forms again and again, and again. Knowing YOU is the only thing worthy of your attention. Everything else? Love it, have fun with it (or not), and let it go.

The aware have no limits. The “sensational” humans typically categorize as “I can do anything,” or “all things are possible,” is not the limitlessness the aware possess. Limitlessness is freedom from the sensational, the physical, and power-hungry ambitions of humans. It is those very things that awareness has no connection to, and so, the infinite is the range of their purview.
There is no pathway from the finite to the infinite or secular invention, process, and roads that clear your mind and make you aware. Your mind cannot be involved in any way. Your desire and efforts to transcend your situation or circumstances are what keep you from inner knowing. You can only rise above human limitations when you fall below them. That is, what you think “it” is.
Everything comes from nothing; there’s your “unlimited” power and infinite awareness!

The world and your possible options to experience it are so vast, bewildering, and inexplicable that it is utterly futile to spend any thought on how to go about living. Do you see? The fullest life is an exploration of what is, as is, without commentary, analysis, or reason. Especially, reason!
There is no hope whatsoever that you or anyone else will ever fathom the infinity surrounding you. All that’s left is to explore what you can and embrace with a smile what you can’t. It will leave you without any time to seek answers to unanswerable questions and full of starry-eyed wonder and awe. It’s an excellent way to go!

Awareness is found in the absence of what you seek. That is, it cannot be conceived of, mapped, or plotted and reached by gargantuan efforts and feats. You’re standing in it now. It appears when you give up on anything, you think it is.

Present moment living solves every problem you drag along with you from the past. Love, kindness, forgiveness, joy, happiness, all reside in a heart that beats at this moment, and the future’s great mystery is that it is impossible to get to. Did you get that? You’re already “there,” as in “here,” now. This moment is not a refreshingly new gift to you; you are a gift to it. GET HERE NOW!

Mystery’s beauty is its code of silence. It is humans who ask why things are as they are, seek plausible explanations, and apply meaning to something that has no meaning. Do you see? Awareness is “not knowing,” but allowing the flow of mystery to keep you engaged with the moment, alert, and fearlessly committed to living “what is” as is. Only your silence can match its silence, but it is an indescribable thrill that never lets you go. Don’t ask why, how, when, or where. Mystery eludes even the most profound and elaborate responses.
Let the moment fill you in its way and without your inquiry, and “you” simply enjoy the thrill.

The aware act well, participate fully, and appear to know what they are doing, even though they know nothing. They are free from the burden of self-importance and self-confidence that marries them to good and evil, right and wrong, and myriad other thoughts and beliefs humans wrap themselves in.
You are not better because you are aware, even though it may look that way to others. Awareness comes without ratings and rules. You “know” that knowing nothing is the ultimate knowing. This, I “don’t” know.
Bozebits
It is far too easy to look at “what is” with regret and belabor your place in collective insanity than to accept “what is” with humility, determination, and live life as a challenge regardless of what it serves up. Awareness is not subdivided by what you or anyone else thinks it should be.
The crux of enlightenment is that you were born with it, taught to turn it off, but still have it even though it is buried under a whole lot of “mind-made” nonsense. Uncovering what YOU are, before you were conditioned otherwise, transforms the world and enriches its mystery. Lose the vocabulary that says what enlightenment is or how it is obtained. You’re swimming in it!
Living mystery, without regret, is the ultimate joy, and the whys and hows cease to challenge your awareness. It’s a leap that will take your breath away, but oh my, what a thrill!
