Truth gets swept into the unimportant and the unnecessary, and you hold the broom that so masterfully does the sweeping. The clear view is not beholden to thought; the only thing needing sweeping is what you believe. Clear your mind, and the house is without the need for sweeping.

If all that is is spiritual (and it is), then any position you take, belief you hold, and judgments you make are no more spiritual than others you disparage. Spirituality has nothing to do with your sense of right but everything to do with your sense of wrong. That is, loving the wrong you compare to your right.
Love and spirituality know no opposites. Do you?

The ultimate presumption of you, me, or any human is that something experienced, learned, suffered through, or becoming enlightened by is transferrable to others (presumedly) needing similar insight. You stand “alone” in your experience, and regardless of how you view yourself in light of that experience, e.g., good or bad, your weakness is your greatest strength, and your “strength” is yours and no one else’s.
YOU are the “first and the last” human in existence. All that is is yours, and then it’s not. There is power in your solemn experience, but only when you internalize your sovereignty. The roar of the lion haunts the night air, not in fear but in the surrounding silence. Calling out your own darkness is heard by everyone.

Life hides nothing from you, and there are no hidden secrets, no formulas for success or security. It unfolds as it does, not “to you” or “for you” or with profound reasons that benefit the wise, knowledgeable, and enlightened. Humans make that stuff up only because they can but shouldn’t.
Making up reasons for your life is the path to frustration and upset. Transparency, wonder, mystery, and excitement are what is and will run the gamut of your human capabilities. Only you can create an illusion or a lie, and that will always separate you from real beauty and truth. Embrace your day and experience its reality.

How much do you really know? How much can you know? The paradox of human affairs is that we “think” we’re pretty smart and make well-informed decisions and assessments when, in reality, we never have enough data. All judgments are speculative at best and always based on insufficient information.
Question your thoughts as incessantly as they permeate your mind. You may not be able to stop them, but you may get an ever so slight chance to withhold ill-advised judgments and unnecessary complications in your dealings with others.

The great thing about home; your inner home, that is, is that it never needs to be built. No education, contracts, architectural or engineering drawings, furnishings, landscaping, etc., are required. It is the most beautiful and elegant place in the universe, and all it takes to enter is to vacate all your busy mind’s preconception, judgment, and reason.
Perfection cannot be dreamed, thought, master-planned, or achieved. You enter it, and the good news is that it is always right here, right now, waiting for you to stop by.

Humans love to point at differences and use them to divide one from another. “My way or the highway,” and you are “less than” if you do not see it my way, and of course, “my way” is so pristine, rational, spiritual, and sound, etc., that “I” will always be on higher ground, than you so there can be no argument.
The collective “noise” is your noise, not your security or confirmation of a viewpoint. It is your separation from diversity. All lost because of a fixation on your point of view. It’s not worth it.
Harmony is lost to your perspective, and so too are love, peace, and connection. Forget the collective, else the loss to you will ripple through eternity. You will miss out on something breathtaking.

Regardless of its causes, purity, spiritual basis, etc., collectives are an assemblage of the weak, the unsure, and certainly those too full of doubt and fear to act courageously without a crowd. Collectives are a harbor of sunken ships.
Creators, in all their manifestations, are solitary, courageous, quietly rising in the face of all weakness. They are the lighthouses seen from afar, creating safe harbors.
Check your “crowd” affiliations; they reflect your weakness, and they’re not making you any more robust than you are on your own. What YOU are, only when away from the crowd, stands solitary, sturdy, even in the fiercest storms.

The “ego” you disagree with is the most straightforward way for you to glimpse your own (ego). Ego, agreeing with other egos, turns into condescension fueled by the security that comes in numbers doing the same. What is always in play in either scenario is your ego and all ego ever wants to be is right and have its way. You might even call it the “dictator,” which is all of us when exchanging with other egos.
Can ego be overcome? No, but you can be quiet and not “engage” by agreeing or disagreeing with any other ego. Tough to do, but in the depths of silence lies the serenity of love, joy, peace, and kindness. Regardless of your thoughts, these things only show up when your mind is still, your lips are not moving (talking), and your heart is open. Can you be still? Yes. Will you? You have a chance if you don’t “think” about it.

Right now, let “what YOU are” outside egoic epitaphs be the only voice that speaks and the only one that hears. You’ll know this voice because it will not talk in any language or other sensory forms. There is nothing to hear except virtue welling up from the fountain of eternal springs. Don’t sully the waters with your thoughts or expressions.
