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.

Beauty recognizes only beauty and nothing else. It knows nothing of your mind’s judgments that pick and choose what it labels such. Just because you have determined something distasteful does not make it “not” beautiful. It is said, “Beauty is in the eye of the beholder,” but it should also be noted that “any judgment in the beholder makes the eyes blind.” There is something in all of us that transcends the mind’s limited purview that is only recognizable when the mind disengages from its unique assessment of reality. You are real when you are quiet, non-judgmental, and when you are real, beauty’s narrowly focused beacon becomes life’s all-encompassing light. YOU are that light; let it shine!

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.

What YOU are is never diminished by what you (the human) have said, done, believed, supported, liked, altered, retracted, or any other aspect of the life you have lived. IT simply loves the experience you provide it and smiles all the way. You can know ITS embrace and love for you by connecting to ITS quiet acceptance of all your adventures and everyone else’s, regardless of how you and others may judge them. Love is silent, but it fills the universe.

Your thinking, doing, saying, intending, worshiping, politicking, loving, hating, fearing, and all the other things ending in “ing” are successors to a silent will that knows nothing, needs nothing, makes no judgments, and holds everything. Repress the bad and exploit the good, even though recognition of either is the heart of suffering. Stop it!
The predecessor of suffering exists before bad and good take form, and it is what YOU are that whispers to a conflicted mind, busy doing all its “ing’s.” Lose all definitions of yourself and everyone/everything else, and all that is left is the infinite, e.g., YOU, birthing the totality. Your mind is the door, but it blocks it with the noise of all its “doings.” Silence is the key to discovering what lies beyond it.

The common denominator, and thus the only constant in all existence, is YOU, which is inseparable from infinity. That is, all form, divided by the infinite (nothing or everything), makes form impermanent and YOU forever (permanent). Do you see?
How silly it is to place any importance on anything that is not here or appears to be here but eventually isn’t. Money, houses, cars, ideas, governments, education, social status, religion, beliefs, dreams, thoughts, rights, wrongs, good, evil, etc., etc., etc., will never outlast YOU. The very essence from which all that is, is YOU, giving rise to form that inevitably falls away.
The struggle of humans to hang on to the “impermanent” lies at the heart of all suffering. Everything you embrace goes away except YOU, who “looks” and forms again and again, and again. Knowing YOU is the only thing worthy of your attention. Everything else? Love it, have fun with it (or not), and let it go.

The world and your possible options to experience it are so vast, bewildering, and inexplicable that it is utterly futile to spend any thought on how to go about living. Do you see? The fullest life is an exploration of what is, as is, without commentary, analysis, or reason. Especially, reason!
There is no hope whatsoever that you or anyone else will ever fathom the infinity surrounding you. All that’s left is to explore what you can and embrace with a smile what you can’t. It will leave you without any time to seek answers to unanswerable questions and full of starry-eyed wonder and awe. It’s an excellent way to go!

Awareness is found in the absence of what you seek. That is, it cannot be conceived of, mapped, or plotted and reached by gargantuan efforts and feats. You’re standing in it now. It appears when you give up on anything, you think it is.
