Awareness, that is, opening yourself beyond the silly and often inane knowledge humans treasure far too much, embraces subtlety, mystery, and reverence, which ultimately coalesce into decency and a well-rounded human being. The mystical, unspoken, and even unspeakable grounds you in humility and forsakes the rigidity of all the “absolutes” humans anchor themselves to, which chains them to life rather than free them to experience its myriad surprises.
In other words, it’s not what you know about life, but what you are free to step into that you don’t know, e.g., you are greatest when you are smallest. Humble up, be grateful, and embrace the surprise.

Consciousness is just another thing co-opted by your ego that it can have more of than someone else and feed its need to be right and everyone else wrong. It comes with a scale you can use to judge yourself and others, which fuels its condescending nature. “Is your consciousness ‘raised’ to the level of someone you look up to in spiritual, social, psychological, or intellectual circles? No? “Well, you’d better work on that,” or “you can get there too.” Do you see? The modern-day love affair with consciousness is coupled to “rules” no different than the varying rules of philosophical, political, and religious institutions that make you better only because you know the rules. There are no rules of consciousness. There are no rules at all. If we are one, then we are all one consciousness, and no part of it is better or worse than any other. There simply are no parts.
Raising consciousness is condescension. That is “raising ego,” and that is not a way to spirituality or awareness. Being married to “what is” with love and reverence makes you aware, but never “better.”

The “search” most embark on is more of an attempt to return to the safety and security of the mythological garden where all is provided and mother, father, and angels stand guard over you. Peace and plenty, no toil or labor, lion aside the lamb, and milk and honey to your heart’s content, e.g., “safety” is the search. You may find some safety and security in such a search, but you will never really know what YOU are. That requires the “thistles and the thorns” living ensures. As “myths” go, Adam and Eve were not cast out of the garden – they were cast into it.
Your life is your garden, and it is full of treasure, only hidden by your thoughts of something else. Let go of the security of “home” that once was, and you will find that YOU never left.

What you think of yourself, regardless of grandiosity, power, strength, or humility, does not come close to what YOU are for the simple reason that your mind, where all thought originates, is incapable of thinking that big. Descriptions or labels, such as “infinite,” eternal,” even “I AM,” are limited by your mind’s definition of those terms and inability to comprehend the unknowable, making any definition of you little more than denigration. What YOU are, underneath anything you “think” is unspeakable; therefore, your silence, in every way, is as close as you will ever get to knowing. Shhhh…, there YOU are.

Your opinion matters least of all in human affairs. What you know, believe, trust in, or hope for is no prize and might even be considered a joke. What you don’t know shows up as humility, kindness, reverence, and compassion. Not words or thoughts; just tenderness. Now there’s a prize! Love expresses most clearly when the ghosts of opinion are not haunting you. Speak less, love more. It’s that simple.

You cannot hate for “no” reason. The very nature of hate is so-called reason brewed in a cauldron of beliefs, conjecture, points of view, and ideology. Some would say love’s opposite is hate or fear, but it is not so because love is an essence indistinguishable from any “other” known source. Like the sun, love shines on and caresses all opinions, divisions, judgments, you or anyone else has. If you hate or fear, you have a reason; if you love, you don’t. You don’t act out of love; you love, and acts form from its nectar. Love is sweetness without the sweetener. Go crazy, sprinkling it!

The illusion underlying all we think is real is that infinity leaves nothing out and contains everything we believe is new or has yet to be done. Do you see? “There is nothing new under the sun,” as the saying goes, meaning there is nothing past and nothing future but only the isness of the present moment, and within this moment all that “was” is, and all that is to come is here now, along with you who thinks otherwise.
You can freely leave the present, but only in your mind, and at the cost of “knowing” the infinite of which YOU are. That is, YOU are boundless, and that’s just inexpressible because infinity is unknowable. Embrace yourself, and you embrace everyone, everything, and the heavens sing!

Truth interpreted ceases to be true. The application of conjecture, which is the only thing your mind is capable of, sullies truth in innuendo and judgment. “What YOU are” reaches out in silence and offers compassion where noise and drama scream with other screamers. The quiet knows only love’s embrace and extends it to all who listen, not with ears, but hearts. Ears hear only noise; hearts know truth. Let your heart be the only listener and its silence the only words you speak.

You are not your body, mind, or anything else you think or have heard otherwise, and the intellect of all humans combined will never know or describe what it is YOU are outside all intellectual constructs. Do you see? YOU stepped into human form for no other reason than YOU could and did, and as important as you believe this experience to be, in the grand scheme of things, which YOU are the author of, it isn’t. Lots and lots of stuff is the content of living, but it is not the makeup of “what YOU are,” in the eternities.
Outside all you think essential and relevant in human experience, hearing the whisper of “what YOU are” is the engine of infinity and awareness that YOU are the creative center of all that is. Know that “YOU” and you will know only love’s embrace, that is, YOUR embrace.

The new-age notion of surrounding yourself with others like you or finding those who vibrate at your level is discrimination and prejudice. It is your ego’s judgment of another, in modern terms, that makes it seem okay. It’s not! You can be the caring hands, the loving voice for another who is not like you, and integrate them into your heart. Who knows, they may take you into theirs. But you can’t be the voice for everyone who is like or unlike you. That makes you nothing more than another voice screaming with all the others while the “one” you could love and embrace now is without your light (vibration) and you without theirs.
Your ego is most deceptive when the collective noise of discrimination screams the loudest. Don’t join in. There’s plenty of noise already, but there are too few of those who aren’t screaming to embrace the “ones” who need only you to love them. Loving those unlike you is a “high” vibration!
