The world lands in a place you likely want it to or not. You feel good when it does and not so good when it doesn’t, but it’s a fallacy to think you chose it. Our minds love to “think” they are on the right side of everything, but the mind confuses everything by its bifurcation of reality.
Everything you see, can’t see, and are incapable of any conceptualization is your creation, which emanates from an unseen source. Why allow a finite blob of gray matter to divide any of it into chunks of good or bad?
Know “what YOU are,” and reality will never elude you, and the vastness of infinity will never be, again, confined to mind-constructed good or bad. “All that is,” really is fabulous!

The most generous giving is giving up anything that creates a baseline for you to judge another. That’s pretty much everything you believe “giving” is. Maybe everything you believe altogether.
In other words, give nothing but yourself. Anything else is a compromise for not knowing “what YOU are.

A fundamental aspect of quantum physics, called “uncertainty,” says that observation affects outcome, e.g., you can know either place or time but not both. In spiritual terms, observance of life is more impactful and less stressful than trying to force it into one direction or another. In other words, far more happens by observing than pushing for an outcome that is uncertain to begin with.
Stop trying to know what is going on. You don’t and never will. No one does, and everything you already believe you know about life should be put aside, as well, because life fools the one who thinks they have some control and unfolds beautifully, albeit mysteriously, for those who know they don’t. Observance has significant effect but is also a constant surprise.

Your search for truth, enlightenment, awareness, or whatever you call it is comparable to procrastination, which is little more than a purposeful pursuit of comfort and safety while fully aware that you are wasting time. It is never about what you may find. It’s about looking for what already is, which is scary because it’s right here, right now, and the safest way to put it off is to make stuff up that isn’t real, like your story of suffering, triumph, dreams, and ambitions.
What YOU are, buried beneath your procrastination, will never be told. IT can only be lived wholly and entirely without the comfort and safety your mind makes up. “Know thyself.” While scary, it’s a joy ride like nothing else you will ever experience.

The desire to understand is, in itself, an obstacle to understanding. It wraps things up in descriptions, rules, expectations, and processes that become the focus of fulfillment, all of which can never be because wants and wishes live in the future, which does not exist.
You will never understand as long as you focus on understanding. Life will confound every desire you have with present-moment reality and keep you ever so, the more you try to replace it with something else you believe is better.
What is is incomprehensible, but it is real. What YOU are gets it because IT, too, cannot be understood. IT can be, however, experienced in the quiet acceptance of present reality. Nothing is more exhilarating!

Knowing what YOU are, or as many gurus label “Self,” you suddenly see with infinite eyes. That is eyes that cease to perceive things as separate from the perceiver without the division created by descriptive language, education, and social and religious background.
Beyond everything you think, know, or believe lies all that cannot be comprehended in such limited descriptions. Knowing what YOU are is the awareness you know nothing, and “nothing” is infinite. Finding YOU is the perfect ride!

You can act surreptitiously to make your experience appear other than it is, but you live a hell of your own making in doing so. Life passes by those who try to make it what it is not, and what it is not is anything you think, believe, or even know it is.
Unmasking is awakening, which is “awareness” that your finite mind cannot contain the infinite. YOU are ever-present, silent, strong, and without guile, e.g., perfect. What you think is the antithesis of perfection and, thus, your limitation.
Know YOU and all else falls into the fleeting and unimportant, e.g., nothing else matters.

Let go of the narrative that this has been a stressful year. You’re here now, and it is clean, pure, and unsullied by anything you don’t think about. Every moment you live with awareness is unprecedented beyond anything you compare it to from the past or make up about the future.
There are wonders to experience in the most routine and imposing human activities if you detach from those activities and any collective narrative that espouses them. “Know thyself,” and all that’s left is love and mindless abandon that allows the world to show itself in ways you, otherwise, could not fathom. It’s an incredible day; “let go” and enjoy it.

Most searchers are impulse buyers. That is, they have an idea of what they seek and pay the price that such a search requires. Do this or that, and call me in the morning, and if you don’t get the results you’re looking for, you’re doing something wrong. Next, let’s try this, etc., etc.
Few, if any, pay the price to know themselves. That is, “what they are” that lies beneath the attachments to the world driven by bodily desires. You were born without attachments and no awareness of your own body. What were you, then? Do you wonder?
The only thing worth knowing is that which cannot be bought or sold. Paradoxically, it cannot be told either. The price of “knowing” YOU is detachment from desires, safety, security, comfort, and all the other things your body uses to hook you to the world. However, the price you’ve paid for such things is high, and the sellers, who guarantee results if you do as they say, are relentless in keeping you subscribed.
Stop buying and give away what you have bought today or for just a few minutes or hours. The return is indescribable, and you and you merge with the infinite—all at no cost!

Ego switches from suffering to joy and back again with only one purpose. It keeps you attached to your body and all the stimulating forms the world presents, regardless of how you label them. Do you see? In “bodily” terms, they are the same, e.g., “This feels good I am happy; this feels bad my I am sad, etc.” Gottcha! Hook, line, and sinker.
YOU are not your body, mind, or consciousness. Form hears only the call of death. Awareness of “what YOU are” outside of form “is” life. Always life. In silence, you know this; in reality, YOU are this. Smile at your body, and all the nonsense it attaches itself to that all, eventually, disappears. YOU are forever!
