Asking the questions “who am I?; where did I come from?; where am I going?; etc.,” will never get you to an answer but will get you started in an episode of “Lost” consisting of a maze of mind-made rhetoric, games, ritual, competitions, and nonsense. The questions themselves invite speculation, and if the mind of man is anything at all, it would have to be the ability to make up bizarre and fantastical stories. Who are you? No description. Where did you come from? No one knows, and no one will ever know. You’re here now, and that’s amazing. Where are you going? Amidst the beauty, splendor, and absolute mystery you can and should experience now, why would you even care?

You’ve got a life, so live it. You’re not going to make up anything more incredible, and you are, after all, the star of whatever is showing.

Your existence is not an evolutionary process, e.g., a coming from or going to. It is an involvement. That is, whatever is right now has everything to do with your participation in the whole of creation. Do you see? YOU, not from a place of evolutionary progress or regress, exist here now with your creation. Your involvement with it is an expression of your love for it. Create life and live it! There’s no better formula for YOU being you.

The “beyond” is full of dreams and hope, faith, beliefs, fantasy, imagination, and myriad wonders your mind fabricates to supersede the real which YOU have already, wholly, created. Come back to beauty; that is the unimagined, the unsought, and unreal, and let unspeakable mystery fill you.
Nothing is more real than you standing amidst your creation, IT oozing your essence, your peace, and your love. And best of all, it’s real, and it costs you not a single thought. YOU gave us this day; enjoy the giving, and we, the created, are endlessly grateful.

There is so much going on right in front of us, but we look back at what happened in a previous, nonexistent moment and parse, dice, and second-guess what could have or should have been said or done after the fact when it no longer matters. Do you see? That meeting with your boss, where you could have said this, other than that, the discussion with friends about world affairs and the point you were trying to make would have been better stated had you expressed it another way. That scarf you knitted would have been nicer had you thought of doing it another way, which you hadn’t thought of while doing it, the golf shot that would have been closer to the target had you only used this or that club, etc. “If only” is unreal, and to recount and rehearse what “might have been” will not improve anything you do now, including some learning you think will benefit you in the nonexistent future.

Living in the present does not give you a second chance to “get it right” in some well-rehearsed future moment. It just gives a brand new, fresh, clean moment, and whatever your performance is now is always perfect until you take it apart “after the fact.” Don’t take it apart! Smile at your dalliances with life and get engaged with what is right now. Life is not a performance-driven affair. It’s just fun if you let it be fun. You can’t fail, so let it go.

In a single drop of rain, you know the ocean. A whisper breathes the strongest winds, and in every grain of sand is the mountain at whose base it lies. Your heart is the heartbeat of eternity, so it stands that the aware know their heart. Do you?

It is not your diet, health regimen, philosophical viewpoint, “facemask,” etc., that extends life or makes it worth living. Life shouldn’t be considered in terms of “extension,” and all the things you believe you need to pack into it. Do you see? You live and try as you might, you will never live more than you live. That is why “now” is so amazing. It’s all there is, and it contains the life you live, not the life you think about, pursue, or wish for.
Any thought, or fantasy of something better than now, cheats “what is” from the full bloom it will share with you if you let it. And “letting it” is simply living it. You’ve got “now;” don’t let it get away without your full participation!

Fearing the death of human form is a monumental waste of human experience. Like memories carried into the present, anchoring fear, anger, sadness, melancholy, etc., to the unreal, dying anchors you to pitiful holdings your mind has convinced you are valuable beyond human form. There is no “beyond,” and what you think or believe is not essential. What YOU are is, but IT (YOU) is so inexpressible that it is just another waste of experience to consider it at all.
What YOU are can only be known in the present, which swallows up all timelines, lamenting not the past nor fantasizing the future. Take counsel with death instead of fearing it, and your experience of life will be “living.”

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!

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.
