What you think is the foundation of everything you consider wrong in the world, because it falls out of harmony with what you believe is right. What YOU are, outside anything you think or believe, knows only right. That is, “right” is not the opposite of wrong. Isn’t it interesting that “what YOU are” is not “choosing” a life to live but living life as is? And loving it by the way. Get your mind out of the way, and you can too!

Life is always flowing, never pausing, or circling to take you through its various ventures again and again, nor is it contemplating you the way you contemplate it. Most live as though they must “get it right, whatever that means and in not doing so, they pronounce the epithet “it’s all wrong.” Meanwhile, life is moving on just as it always does without care or concern about what you think or do.
Move on. It’s freeing, and nothing you’ve experienced or learned is required to embrace and appreciate the pristine newness of what is happening now. There is nothing but “new” in your life. Every moment is as pure as newly fallen snow. Play in it!

Ego seeks objects, e.g., money, religion, politics, knowledge, accreditations, affiliations, status, safety, or just “things” it can satiate its cravings with and invariably is still left empty. Even having achieved all these things, it begs for more, as if one of these “things,” just one, the right one, will be the “thing” that fulfills an endless craving for something more.
Spirituality is not objective; it is subjective. There is no ” object ” that will ever be it, and yet it is the ultimate fullness, even though there is nothing there to be possessed (objectified). Do you see? Any true form of spirituality is a complete mystery, unfathomable, and is the only “filling” that leaves you full. You’ll always know it because mystery leaves you breathless, awe-struck, speechless, and full.

There is no meaning or essential purpose you must have in life, something you must go to, find, or discover that gives value and defines who you are. You living is the purpose. In other words, you give meaning to life as you live it, not the other way around. Meaning and purpose are mind-made constructs that, instead of giving you something to be or do, actually take away from what YOU are. Do you see?
Knowing YOU is merely being you in whatever the moment presents, without the question, “Why is this happening?” Or worse, “why is this happening to me?” YOU are the only happening, and without YOU happening, nothing else happens! YOU are everything, and there’s a lot of meaning to YOU, happening!

Those who search, regardless of what they do or how they do it, encounter the most significant obstructions to what they seek in the actual doing. That is the mechanics of doing that gets in the way of what the doing is supposed to bring about, and humans are notoriously proficient at getting in their own way. When you break from doing (mechanics), you uncover the power of your unique silence, wherein unfoldment happens, which is a wonderland of mystery and activity no “doing” could ever compare to. Nor could any search lead you to it.
Rest from doing what you think you must do; home is where YOU are when your “doing” is left undone.

Spirituality, awakening, awareness, enlightenment, whatever you call it, only exists in the present. You cannot experience it anywhere else, not even in a so-called previous experience. It has no residence in the past or the future, as those are just memories or imagination. In other words, spirituality is a constant, present-moment reality that you always are; there is never a becoming, searching-for, and finding. To speak of it in any way or to speak as if you have a mantle because you have awakened is to step out of the real. Awakening is the ultimate humbling that lacks for words but thunders silence. Be thunderous.

The mighty Oak never looks down at the flower blooming under its branches and exclaims, “I am higher than you because of the long hard years I endured to reach this size and majesty, and all the things I now see that you can’t and never will.” No, the two, living as one, never seek to outshine the other and claim victory over life and beauty. They live quietly and in peace and love the same life that everything in the universe treasures.
Life has no distinctions because beauty only knows love. YOU are love; thus, beauty and you are always among the beautiful.

What is the “right” direction? We hear it often touted that a single step in the right direction accomplishes so much or makes life so much easier, but who or what decides whether your “direction” is right or wrong? Then there are the apologists who, having taken the supposed “wrong” direction, ultimately find it to be a tremendous and profound learning experience. Wouldn’t that make it the “right direction?
Life is “right,” always right, and it is also yes to whatever you do, and it never assumes anything “wrong.” You living and life-giving; that’s all this is, and you and the life you live can never be wrong. Lose all sense of “direction.” Wandering is far more exciting and fun than following some path cobbled together by nonsense. And who knows where you end up? Who cares? That’s just part of the excitement too!

The human mind loves division. Right, wrong, this, that, up, down, good, evil, heads or tails, etc. Opposition in all things, and lo, everywhere there is division, and what it boils down to is you dividing that which is indivisible. In other words, it’s not that there is division; it’s that you, by yourself, are divided. The mechanism of division is mind-made, and your mind always assumes that the makeup of its reasoning is the acceptable divisor of everything else. Beneath your mind, you are whole, undivided, and indivisible, but you can only know this when your mind is no longer busying, itself divvying everything up.
Undivided, there is nothing that YOU are not, wholly and completely!

YOU have no potential. That’s right, none at all. But you don’t need it either. The potential self you think you must become is lower than what YOU are without such thoughts. Potential comes with lists and “to-dos,” rights and wrongs, and made-up stuff stemming from your buy-in to the paradigm that says everyone is on a path to improve and learn. Climb the mountain, and you will see, it is said, but all you see is another mountain and a list of things you must do to conquer it. “I wonder if I have the ‘potential, blah, blah, blah?’”
Climb mountains, not because you must get to the top to benefit from some “potential” improvement myth. YOU are already atop the highest of them all, and not once did you ascend to get there! Don’t look down; just let go. Awareness sees nothing but beauty, and YOU are already there! That is, if you drop out of the school of “potential.”
