Encounters with friends, acquaintances, family, doctors, employers, teachers, leaders, etc., typically take the form of an idea that you are something you think they think you are. However, at that moment of first thought, you cease being what you are. From there, the dance of the unreal begins!
You are likely so good at the transition that you don’t even notice it happening. We all are. It’s almost as if we have a role to play in a play of our own making whose ending is scripted, well-rehearsed, and perfectly timed!

Act 2: “You are what you think” only has relevance in human affairs, and while you can’t “not” be human, you can stop “thinking” like one. The unassumed is the best role in the only play that’s real. You’re “real” when you no longer know, consciously or unconsciously, the plot. Mysteries are just more interesting anyway!

The best and only version of yourself is what you are now without the thought processing that says there is some other version you should be. Thinking about what you “are not” prevents you from any possibility of being what YOU are. Version “YOU, NOW” never needs an upgrade! Send the programmers home; you’ve got this!

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.

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.

What you consider most obvious is not where your strength lies. The most “obvious” is likely no more than your conditioning to recognize, making it a comfortable confirmation of what you already believe. It’s what you don’t know buried beneath the glamor and eloquence of the obvious, that transforms living the obvious into a life of awareness. Do you see?
Strength, power, love, and the flow of life are not known in apparent ways. These things emanate from the depths of silence, which is the foundation of all that is. YOU are the center of “ALL that is.” You can’t speak it, nor does it ever appear apparent, but YOU are that. Anything beyond “that” is just noise masking the most significant force in the universe, e.g., YOU.

Listening to anyone, any institutional information source, leaders, philosophers, gurus, etc., other than your inner silence is the most egoic fuel source you will ever draw from. A steady diet of it bolsters the mind but cripples the heart. It is high-octane nonsense, and the price you pay is far too much!
Nothing in this life experience is important, even less so if it costs you kindness, joy, and love for everyone and everything. You will always travel farther, more comfortably, and with greater peace if your gas-guzzling mind runs on empty.

Wanting keeps the futility of “what isn’t” alive and “what is” from being experienced. Until what you want only looks like “what is” here and now, you will forever be hooked to the dream of non-reality coupled with your mind’s puny attempts to alter it.
What you want is “what is.” It may not match your mind’s idea of how it should be, but wanting something “other” will not make “what is” go away, nor will it alter present moment mystery and splendor. Don’t “want” for anything; the transformation you experience is that you have everything. You already have everything, but only when you forgo all thoughts that tell you otherwise.

Mystery explodes into awareness but only in the presence of the unexplained. A calm and expansion of view occurs when, with eyes wide open and thoughts at rest, all you see is unperceived by your mind. In other words, awareness directly correlates to the unknown and the unknowable but is completely lost to the “known.”
Your words, thoughts, and descriptions blind you; Awareness is not blind. Let “mystery” be without noisy speculation; awareness will silence all inquiries. The unknowable is the real “beautiful life!”

There is nothing to spirituality. When you’re there, you’ll know, and when you “know,” there’s “nothing” to know.

“Why callest thou me good,” said Jesus to his disciples. Even the “good” you attribute to your nature or the nature of others is an identity only humans formulate. Do you see? No one is good, and no one is bad. Identifying with any trait, attribute, characteristic, etc., that makes you unique only keeps you from knowing anything else that makes all of humanity the immense spectacle it is. And it is a spectacle whose colors reach into eternity!
Unless you see without seeing that “good” is different from what you identify as bad, your experience is destined to be shallow, full of division and judgment, and, effectively, unreal. Who does that? Sadly, we all do. Give up all your identifications, and you will discover “humanity.” It won’t be good or bad, but it will be spectacular.
