The ultimate presumption of you, me, or any human is that something experienced, learned, suffered through, or becoming enlightened by is transferrable to others (presumedly) needing similar insight. You stand “alone” in your experience, and regardless of how you view yourself in light of that experience, e.g., good or bad, your weakness is your greatest strength, and your “strength” is yours and no one else’s.
YOU are the “first and the last” human in existence. All that is is yours, and then it’s not. There is power in your solemn experience, but only when you internalize your sovereignty. The roar of the lion haunts the night air, not in fear but in the surrounding silence. Calling out your own darkness is heard by everyone.

Life hides nothing from you, and there are no hidden secrets, no formulas for success or security. It unfolds as it does, not “to you” or “for you” or with profound reasons that benefit the wise, knowledgeable, and enlightened. Humans make that stuff up only because they can but shouldn’t.
Making up reasons for your life is the path to frustration and upset. Transparency, wonder, mystery, and excitement are what is and will run the gamut of your human capabilities. Only you can create an illusion or a lie, and that will always separate you from real beauty and truth. Embrace your day and experience its reality.

How much do you really know? How much can you know? The paradox of human affairs is that we “think” we’re pretty smart and make well-informed decisions and assessments when, in reality, we never have enough data. All judgments are speculative at best and always based on insufficient information.
Question your thoughts as incessantly as they permeate your mind. You may not be able to stop them, but you may get an ever so slight chance to withhold ill-advised judgments and unnecessary complications in your dealings with others.

The great thing about home; your inner home, that is, is that it never needs to be built. No education, contracts, architectural or engineering drawings, furnishings, landscaping, etc., are required. It is the most beautiful and elegant place in the universe, and all it takes to enter is to vacate all your busy mind’s preconception, judgment, and reason.
Perfection cannot be dreamed, thought, master-planned, or achieved. You enter it, and the good news is that it is always right here, right now, waiting for you to stop by.

What you consider most obvious is not where your strength lies. The most “obvious” is likely no more than your conditioning to recognize, making it a comfortable confirmation of what you already believe. It’s what you don’t know buried beneath the glamor and eloquence of the obvious, that transforms living the obvious into a life of awareness. Do you see?
Strength, power, love, and the flow of life are not known in apparent ways. These things emanate from the depths of silence, which is the foundation of all that is. YOU are the center of “ALL that is.” You can’t speak it, nor does it ever appear apparent, but YOU are that. Anything beyond “that” is just noise masking the most significant force in the universe, e.g., YOU.

Eternity is free of any time whatsoever. That is, counting backward or forward can only be experienced as “make-believe,” and either direction takes you from the “now’ where “all that is” exists in infinite splendor. Concentrating your focus on anything separates you from everything.
Your eyes see all they see except themselves in the act of seeing – even in a mirror, they see only a reflection. The all-seeing eye has no focus and no vision. All that is comes from it, and it is beheld only as the created, the infinite. In other words, YOU are the Creator, not the lowly human wishing or hoping for something else. Don’t try wrapping your head around anything. Stare into the abyss and know it’s YOU.

“We cannot solve our problems with the same thinking we used to create them,” Einstein said, but any thinking, coupled with the interpretive mind, which, by the way, is all thinking, is the same thinking that creates ALL problems. In other words, “thinking” will never solve a problem. What to do?
Listen to your heartbeat, each breath, the blood coursing through your veins, savor the myriad scents carried by the breeze without identifying them, love without criteria. “What to do” is right there in a whisper so loud it shakes the earth. Thinking’s purest form is when it isn’t thinking at all. Did you feel the earth move? You must not be thinking!

Wanting is not a driver of getting. Seriously, can you think of anything more grand and wondrous than the breath you are taking right now, your heart beating to a cosmic rhythm, and the essence of all that is coursing through you? How could you “want” anything more incredible than the sun on your face or raindrops tapping your window, a lover’s kiss, a friend’s warm embrace, or a smile?
When you pander to the universe, as we are oft told to do, you give way to the mundane, the selfish, and the unreal. The ultimate joy lies beneath anything you could wish for, and it quietly awaits you to be present with all that you already have, all that you already are. Simply, YOU have everything, and “having” everything means YOU “are” everything! YOU are “joy,” but only when you “want” for nothing!

Listening to anyone, any institutional information source, leaders, philosophers, gurus, etc., other than your inner silence is the most egoic fuel source you will ever draw from. A steady diet of it bolsters the mind but cripples the heart. It is high-octane nonsense, and the price you pay is far too much!
Nothing in this life experience is important, even less so if it costs you kindness, joy, and love for everyone and everything. You will always travel farther, more comfortably, and with greater peace if your gas-guzzling mind runs on empty.

You were not born to “be” anything other than what you are without the noise of thinking, believing, and hoping you will be something else. Do you see? We are repeatedly told we can be anything we want to be, which is not true. What you wish to be is a figment of your imagination, conjecture, and wishful thinking. That is, a product of your mind that has never experienced “what you are” in the midst of “what is.”
Know thyself,” e.g., “what YOU are,” before embarking on an endless journey to something else, e.g., something unreal, and remember if you can think it, wish it, hope it, believe it, that’s not it. YOU, as is, right now, are the creative center of the universe. You don’t have to think about what that means. Just accept that nothing in all the heavens and Earth exists without YOU.
