Silence has no words, associations, descriptions, or assumptions for the present moment you create. It is not the opposite of noise as most of us think of it. It is all things without definition, spring without winter, fall without summer, life billowing without meaning. Silence is where the miraculous precedes the mundane. It is everything and nothing, smiling at the ALL that has no explanation. It is YOU smiling with the created.

YOU know, but if you think you know, you no longer know. There is an innate intelligence within you that has nothing to do with mind or memory but is alone and silent and rests in a place inaccessible to your thoughts. What YOU are is always at peace, but burns with awareness only your aloneness can experience. Silence is not being free of the noise surrounding you. It is peace amidst it. You are most aware when you are most alone. However, you’ll never “know” if you think about it.

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!

Thinking is a by-product of memories, and memories, being of the past, never have relevance to the present, no matter how deeply rooted they are. You are never free to “newness” if you are thinking, e.g., subjugating, “what is” to what you remember. Awareness rests in a mind that knows nothing of the moment it is experiencing and only looks with wonder and awe at the undefined purity of now. No memory or thought will ever equal its beauty!

Learning can only take place in an atmosphere of “not knowing.” If you think you know something from the past, something you learned, then you are not in a state of “not knowing.” You’re merely remembering. Learning is newness and only happens “now” when the window through which you view experience is completely clear of any thoughts about it. Simply, a mind without its knowing is a mind that can learn, but even better is a mind that is aware that there is a vast unknown that is knowable.

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, all that YOU will ever be, is contained in this moment, and in whatever earthly form you happen to be experiencing, e.g., spiritual and physical are not separate. It’s all here now; right now. Do you see? We want so desperately for there to be more to existence than the physical life we are living, and, in the process, we miss living the life we have, which contains everything there is. Now is your perfection, your freedom, and the only place of love you can experience. So… experience it!

Fear of death is fear of life. Living as if your purpose is not to die, get sick, not have accidents, etc., is to fight against the very essence of human form, which YOU took upon yourself. The seed of everything lies within your experience, which took form out of nothing and will fall back into it. YOU are not your body.
Everything emanates from the infinite void that is YOU, and all that is returns to it. Fear, too, returns to emptiness when you take hold of life, living, and all that it is. Live with love, and peace will find you, even in the most dreadful places.

Awareness is a flowering of quiet beauty that is not assembled in any way by your mind and thoughts. It sees without an object to absorb what’s real into a vast tangle of thought and deliberation. You could even say that awareness is only available to the mind that is unaware.
Be still, be unaware, and lo, awareness! Pretty cool.

“What YOU are” contains no contradictions. That is, desire, beliefs, attainments, and all other mind-based activities that search for meaning and purpose cease to exist in your experience. All movements, free of the obstacles of mind and thought, are but stillness melding into the infinite. That is your home, and the door opens with a touch of silence. Not the silence that is opposite to noise but the movement of love, your love that is, into the unbounded. Don’t come home, be home.
