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.

What you believe is the demise of what is. It throws you into a false fantasy that what you don’t like now can be replaced by something you only imagine. Do you see?
The imaginary pursuit of “something else” takes you out of the present, which is real, and all there will ever be. To “believe” otherwise is to miss that. Don’t miss it! “Now” is too rich and beautiful to waste a second elsewhere!

The world lands in a place you likely want it to or not. You feel good when it does and not so good when it doesn’t, but it’s a fallacy to think you chose it. Our minds love to “think” they are on the right side of everything, but the mind confuses everything by its bifurcation of reality.
Everything you see, can’t see, and are incapable of any conceptualization is your creation, which emanates from an unseen source. Why allow a finite blob of gray matter to divide any of it into chunks of good or bad?
Know “what YOU are,” and reality will never elude you, and the vastness of infinity will never be, again, confined to mind-constructed good or bad. “All that is,” really is fabulous!

Your search for truth, enlightenment, awareness, or whatever you call it is comparable to procrastination, which is little more than a purposeful pursuit of comfort and safety while fully aware that you are wasting time. It is never about what you may find. It’s about looking for what already is, which is scary because it’s right here, right now, and the safest way to put it off is to make stuff up that isn’t real, like your story of suffering, triumph, dreams, and ambitions.
What YOU are, buried beneath your procrastination, will never be told. IT can only be lived wholly and entirely without the comfort and safety your mind makes up. “Know thyself.” While scary, it’s a joy ride like nothing else you will ever experience.

YOU are neither subject nor object nor is anything you perceive as a human. YOU do nothing, yet are everything. YOU always enjoys the ride, but “you” may not. This is why it is necessary to override you with YOU. While you are searching for the perfect, end-all ride, YOU will enjoy the ride but never leave the fairground. So are you, you, or YOU?
Bozebits
Be grateful not for what you have but for “what YOU are” that precedes everything long before you could identify with having anything to be thankful for. YOU are the “perceived” but, too, the perceiver. YOU and all that is, is good. Now, gratefulness.
