The act of searching implies that you have an idea of what it is you are searching for. “I am searching for enlightenment,” suggests that you have an idea of what it is, meaning you will recognize it when you happen upon it, and it will look like what you have already presupposed it to be. Do you see? This is not searching; it is accumulating confirmation for what you think you already know, and if you know what it is, you search for you won’t find anything else! Additionally, the thrill of finding (confirmation) will be short-lived, leading you back to another search for something to replace the last one.
Truth cannot be sought. It is dynamic and ever-transforming, and all you can do is be clear of mind and meaning and always ready for whatever shows up. You will never know, but you will be continuously surprised and amazed. It’s an exhilarating way to live!

The rarest voice in all existence is the voice that will never condemn another. Don’t satisfy yourself with the nonsense that you have it figured out and have discerning eyes and ears that know goodness from badness. YOU create it all, including your mind, that seeks reasons to dislike and separate from YOUR creations. Love’s embrace has no division, no mind or thought. Be “rare” and speak no ill. What you speak divides “you,” and love cannot have you divided against yourself.

Humans have the unique tendency to point at things they desire or at people to look up to or down upon as if to steer themselves away from the inevitability of living their own lives. It’s like living by comparison instead of merely living. “What is” is completely transparent and fully exposed in the present moment. Still, in that instant, you desire something else, look to another for any reason, transparency is lost, and confusion takes over. What happens is not happening to you; never! YOU are happening to it, and if you give way to desires, beliefs, leaders, teachers, etc., you are accepting these “confusions” as your own, and you will be confused.
“What is” is all you can be, and accepting it is awareness of YOU as “all that is’s” creator. It’s pretty cool when you (don’t) think about it!

All that is, regardless of what it is, falls into a great big, beautiful tapestry that you create. That’s right, all of it and every little bit of it feels your embrace even when you label it unique, scary, good, bad, right, wrong, or otherwise. Existence is not full of disease, sickness, and evil forces battling good ones. Those are the fantasies of a mind disconnected from the majesty that created it, e.g., YOU. Did you get that? What YOU are “is” and always has been long before your silly mind decided it knew otherwise.
There is nothing you think “bad or good” that exists in your experience that is real. What is real is what no mind (especially yours) can contrive, and all of “that” is perfect.

Resistance to that which you have judged unpleasant, untenable, unacceptable, un-beautiful, etc., and seeking only the opposites does little more than complicate your life and create unnecessary contraction from the only thing you can experience. That is, life itself in all its luster and nuance.
It’s not a question of knowing the good because you have experienced the bad. Turning away from any aspect of life makes you jaded, self-centered, and ever seeking that which isn’t and, consequently, that which cannot be. The good, as you define it, contains the seed of evil, just as evil includes the seed of good. Everything is bundled in reality, regardless of how you judge it. Life moves all by itself, as is; You, “as is,” can too. Just take your judgment and quest for preference out of it! Now, that’s how to live fully.

Humans get stuck in the dilemma of “becoming,” which is an entirely different “action” than “being”: becoming is the endless search for what isn’t, while being is the complete embrace of what is, now. Do you see? Life is what it is, and it isn’t served up to you, me, or anyone for any reason. Still, that does not stop humans from making up fantastic reasons for living. Don’t be one of them. Be present without any concern that what is has any purpose, definition, or meaning at all. Live without discretion; that is, the discretion that is free of the conditioning that formed the basis of your discretion. In other words, don’t make stuff up!
Being in harmony with “what is” is being free of what you think is. Becoming is enslavement to mind-made processes, which always end in confusion; being is freedom from the “mind-made” altogether. Think less, be more! It is that simple.

Awareness exists beyond physical form, and all the laws and rules that apply to three-dimensional space and time cease to exist when confronted with the infinite. Infinity is not a container filled with everything; it is nothing. It has no rules or form, but your mind finds that untenable because all that you experience seems so ordered, structured, and bound by laws that explain physical sensing. Do you see?
Awareness has no rules and is not bound to anything deemed true in the physical universe. That is the basis of spirituality. No one can explain it. It’s an unfathomable mystery, so the only way to approach it is to let go of what you think you know it to be. That means letting go of pretty much everything you ever learned and giving up learning anything new about it.
One who sees does so without the mind, as awareness is unapproachable with any form of thought. See?

What is will always be real. Not because of anything you think, but despite what you think. “What is” is unalterable, but you can miss out on it because of wishes and desires you foster otherwise. All that you know, dream, believe, hope, want, etc., is a detriment to the real. When your mind is clear, life is clear. Embrace, without thought, the day!

Honor your experience by accepting it as yours and without the desire to alter it in any way. Desire is the ire of reality.

Before any choice, there is an instantaneous “knowing” that precedes it. The intuitive voice speaks to us all and comes without equivocation. That is, in an instant of knowing no choice is even present until your mind puts one there, and then there is confusion, debate, analysis, and the stress of not knowing what was absolute in a previous moment. Do you see? It is rare for humans to realize that what they think is never intuitive. Thinking overrides the intuitive with pre-conditioned gobbledygook stored in a mind that must insert it into every facet of life.
Living is not something you need to think about, but until you regain your lost sensitivity to that inner voice that always speaks before the fray of mind natter, you will serve one or another (choice), and still, never “know.” Listen to “it” speak!
