The supplication of all desire is that God, The Universe, Source, or some other defined or undefined higher power will give you what you want, but what you want is always a development of mental processes. Do you see?
Your mind seeks only “other” that lies outside what YOU know, which cannot be defined. In other words, your desires steer you away from the source of all that is, e.g., YOU. Thinking of “better” rather than “what is” removes you from reality and into the unreality of what isn’t, and even if you somehow get to “what isn’t” at a later time, “desire” for something else will soon spur you on to “other,” again, and again, and again.
Knowing YOU, beyond any mental “knowing,” frees you from what you think and sets you into the actual real that few ever experience. There is nothing that is not YOU, but you’ll never get there through thought. The saying, “desire lights the fire,” might better be said, “desire snuffs out the fire.” Know YOU, and you will never “not” know joy, peace, and happiness!

You cannot separate everyday reality from your search to find another truth, a spiritual truth. It is the folly of all searches in that you believe there is something else separate from what is. Regardless of the “search pattern” you have set up to find truth and bring it back to your life, you won’t suddenly be aware because it is not lost! Do you see? You don’t “find” truth, nor can you “think” or express it once you “think” you have found it. You, simply, are it, and its presence is revealed when you cease mentalizing it. No expression is necessary. All that is, now, with YOU at its center, is truth. And, best of all, it’s real! Why not enjoy it?
Get inside yourself, but be quiet. There are a lot of surprises awaiting you.

Your judgments are the evidence your mind develops to separate you from the world and others. It is a colossal refusal to know yourself and reality. If others or the world, in general, offend you, you are in denial of the nightmare that rages within yourself. Until you awaken from that “outward-looking,” your fitful dreaming will prevent you from ever seeing what YOU are.
Your awakening is not a change in the world or in what you perceive as wrong or right. It is your reunion with it and the joyful realization that YOU are not a dream but the Creator of those who do. Reunite, and there is your love, your reality, and eternal peace.

Don’t worry about being your brother or sister’s keeper until you master keeping yourself. A pretty good rule of thumb is, “you’ll likely never master keeping yourself. “I want to help” is a statement of “I know what is best for you,” and while it looks like you may be helping, you are serving your own “wants,” whose ultimate aim is “getting” something you want. Do you see?
Be kind, gentle, and humble, and offer others only love, unnamed, and unparticularized. That is, what “keeps” you, and it will be enough for others, too.

What YOU are that precedes all thought is untouchable. That is, not touched by any concept, philosophy, religion, ideas, beliefs, fantasies, heritage, etc. What you think yourself to be is the progeny of your mind and the focal point of your identity, judgments, and points of view. Your image of reality, in other words, is not only touchable but likely deeply touched by the things listed above and many others, all of which contain the fuel of anger, contempt, and insanity. No search for awareness that takes you to or through more conceptual nonsense will ever lead you to the destination you seek. It takes shedding, not searching. Do you see?
Untouchable, YOU cares nothing for what you seek because nothing you find sticks to IT. Shed instead of search. YOU already are everything, but it’s likely buried beneath a whole lot of junk you picked up while searching. Just Sayin’.

Your thoughts run contrary to reality. While seemingly noble and with good intent, there is always an underlying motive your mind controls, and that is to blind you to the otherness it cannot comprehend and never will. It will adopt words, phrases, spiritual concepts, movements, and causes, wrap them in glitter and eloquence, only to seduce you and other minds doing the same thing.
The silence of nothingness is where reality takes form, and it has no voice that can speak words of beauty or ears to hear them. You will “know” when every concept you have mastered, every word, description, and identification your mind harbors is struck dumb, and in that silence, YOU are inseparable from the real. There is no “getting” IT. There is only being IT, and being IT, well, there are just no words!

Freedom is not what you think. The inalienable has no definition and is no possessor of the free. If you “think” you have a “right” to anything you believe qualifies as freedom, you are no longer free. You are a slave to your thoughts; we all are. However, you will always have “what is,” and that requires nothing from you but living it.

YOU, that is what YOU are, that is not human, are found in every encounter. The walk in nature, the tree you embrace, the flowers that fill your senses, sunny days, storms, moonlit nights, and the myriad brushes with everything imaginable or unimaginable. YOU are found in all of it, but your mind seeks the comfortable, the easy, and stimulating. Regardless, YOU are there, not as a witness to experience, but as the creator of it, and it just doesn’t matter what you encounter.
Remove anger, emotion, and judgment from your experience and let the purity of your creation, your love, be the focus of your gaze. Creators find peace in all they create and smile a lot, even when their mind is telling them not to.

You cannot know what’s coming. No one can, because it doesn’t exist, but you can lighten your worries by having some fun now. Collectively, it seems we have reached a point of seriousness we can’t escape, but we haven’t. There is no threshold except the one called “conjecture,” and it’s your creation. We’ve just forgotten how to have fun! That is, “you,” the heartbeat of the collective, has forgotten how to be silly, whimsical, giggly, and generally happy. “Life,” lives you, not the other way around. Take your joy, happiness, silliness, etc., into the life only you can experience. Let all the monsters who seem so dangerous know that you are living and that “what YOU are” gives life, love’s joy, and dances naked in the moonlight. Smile; life giggles at your whimsy, and if you’re actually dancing naked in the moonlight, so am I.

Your “spiritual searching” sidelines reality and removes you from the only possible place where transformation can take place. That is right here, right now. Hoping for something other than “what is” delays any opportunity to experience what your silence already knows.
At any given moment, yes, even this moment, YOU are already far above any dream you have. Opening your mind to dreams is closing your mind to reality. YOU, present, is the only dream worth experiencing.
