The voice you hear and pay attention to is your voice. That is the voice of ego ‘sorting things out” according to its rules and judgments. It is the most erroneous voice you know, and it creates the false narrative of what is. The voice you don’t hear never judges, complains, makes stuff up about what happens, or seeks to be right. It embraces life in quiet and thrills in each moment it participates in the grand mystery of human experience. It is the voice that never condemns another and shows only kindness to all “forms.” If you listen, you will hear it, but never if you are thinking. Shhh; mystery is afoot!

Water may conform to the outline of the bottle, but it will always be water. Like water, YOU are innately love, truth, and beauty, and exist far beyond the container that holds you. That is, who you think yourself to be is your containment, and it is not “what YOU are.” When the container (your idea of what you are) is empty, or perhaps missing, YOU will always and only be YOU.

There is no finding truth. It’s never lost. What’s lost is what you think truth is. Solution? Be present without thoughts.

The “balance” you seek can only happen when all the things you believe cause you suffering, or are wrong with you or life in general, are willingly experienced and embraced. That is, living completely without a single regret or wish for something other. In other words, your life is not you swinging from one high to another low and trying to minimize (balance) the span or intensity between them. It is you in the middle (fulcrum) giving cause, not balance, to the entire ride. Without YOU, nothing else exists; hence, no “ride” at all! That is the sweetest joy you can see and the only life you’re going to experience anyway. Have fun!

Life truly is a “beautiful ride” when you’re the one upon which it rides! Do you see? YOU give living life, and no part of it happens without your experience of it! YOU are the miracle to us all, the great Creator for all that is and isn’t. Your vastness is infinite, and your breath gives form to all that is. Let everything and everyone feel your embrace through a smile, a hug, a wink, an accepting nod, or simple kindness. Your creation is the ride of every life! How can we all not be grateful for YOU?

What you believe is the heart of all your suffering and, sadly, you cannot think or educate your way out of it. You can, however, unthink your way to freedom by not thinking at all. Let yourself lose control of all your mind has convinced you it has under control, and you will discover you never had any, regardless of what your mind convinced you of otherwise. Surprisingly, that’s when you will feel the most in control. It just doesn’t get any easier – but hard.

There is nowhere to go in life, no moving forward, backward, up, down, or any other direction. Forward and backward, etc., do not exist. Life is only about you being, and if you are breathing, you are being. Being is the only “where” and “what” there is, and whatever you seek elsewhere takes you from it. The YOU that seeks nothing, nowhere is the grand spectacle, so why search for it elsewhere? If you’re anywhere but here now, you’re going nowhere. Just BE; YOU, after all, are every “where,” and every “thing.”

Your thoughts, no matter how pure or grandiose, are the vehicles that carry you away from the present and, over time, distance you from something you knew long before you were able to think. Knowing before thinking is awareness, and you once stood alone knowing that everything in existence emanated from you. YOU are the creative center of the universe, but creation is not thought-driven. It is “knowing,” and YOU are the “Knower.” Your thoughts transport you far away from that. It shouldn’t take a lot of thinking about what needs to be done.

The past is where your judgments and reasoning were formed. It is the worst place to spend any time, yet your mind will work tirelessly to keep you there. Get present and simply be with the newness of each crystal-clear moment. The clearer your head, the clearer your experience.

Do you know what greed is? “Dear God, Universe, Great Giver of all that is, karma, etc.; I want.” Yes, greed is, “I want.” Don’t confuse your noble intentions with reality, and think that because you describe another version of something you believe is better, that greed is not the base of it. “I want” ties you to an imaginary reality, and the “good” you imagine is better than “what is” is judgment. YOU not only “have” it all, YOU are ALL. Don’t allow yourself to be divided by mind-based trivialities, e.g., what “I want.”
Look beyond your thoughts by silencing them. Peace and plenty, mystery and wondrousness beyond anything you could possibly want, lie within that silence!
