No upgrades or downgrades arise from human experience. That is, nothing you do in life is a precursor to, or a cause of, something happening in another. Your human experience is stepping down, and when it is over, you resume as the God YOU have always been. Upgrades and downgrades are strictly a “human” thing and typically apply to cars, electronics, French fries, and soft drinks. In other words, don’t overrate or underrate your experience based on where it might take you or what it might get you. You are Gods having a human experience. Oh, but in human terms, always upgrade your French fries!

The single most important thing you will ever do, your greatest act, is what you do right now in this moment. You don’t have to think about what it is or how to improve it, make it shiny and clean, or make it recognizable to vast crowds of adoring fans, news media, and YouTube. You don’t even have a choice to make. YOU, now, are the greatest show on earth, and while other humans may not notice, the infinite does, and if you listen carefully and quietly, you will hear its applause.BE-ing requires nothing but you; present!

Meaning in life is too imaginative. That is, what you believe your life’s meaning is is full of imaginary descriptions of why things happen as they do. Do you see? Ego so desperately wants to know every detail of an incomprehensible mystery that it makes stuff up under the guise of “this is what this means.” YOU are Gods, temporarily possessing human form, which is without meaning or purpose and especially without passing or failing grades for not having “learned,” again, an imaginary lesson your mind has made up. Living fully is living without imagination; that is, making stuff up about why you live (as a human) at all. Push yourself into the real and keep your mind out of it; your mind simply cannot compete with reality. You’re going to “make it” no matter how it plays out! In other words, if you’re looking to have fun, stop imagining it and just do it.

Reasons don’t exist in living. They only exist in thinking, and thinking is shaded by the many colors you paint the world you think should be. You might even be said to paint by the numbers: the numbers you have learned that add up to the life you live and all the assessments you make about it, even though there are no “reasons” in living. Life is rich in colors, but they do not come from the palette of your mind. What you paint with reasons covers the masterpiece beneath them. Put aside your palette, and creation bursts forth in an array of beauty and wonder no mind can fathom! YOU, without reason, are the Master.

The closest you will ever get to “balance in your life” is the instantaneous pass-through from one side of life to the other. In other words, balance is a mental invention that convinces you you can “teeter” between its versions of good or bad. It’s a “balancing act” no one, including you, will ever realize. Why? Life is not a teeter-totter; it’s an experience. That experience is impervious to your or anyone’s sense of fairness and equilibrium. Humans have a perverse sense of right and wrong, e.g., “opposites,” when life is what it is without a notion of balance. Seriously, can you imagine just sitting on a swing and not swinging? And once you’re swinging, the pass-through from one side to the other is not even noticeable. All you’re doing is swinging, and for many of us, screaming whee! Scream at life if you must, but don’t judge it. Ride whatever arc you are on for all its worth. There is no balance. Get on that swing and let it fly. Make your living the ride of your life!

Contrary to the new age saying, “you get what you think about,” reality says, “you’ve got what you don’t think about,” and what you don’t think about is the wonder and mystery right in front of you, and it is unfathomable. In other words, if you’re “thinking” about something other than what is, even if you think you are thinking about what is, you fail to see what you’ve actually got right now in this moment. You forget “What is” because your mind is thinking about something else when “what is” is all there is.
“What is” is a living, breathing, dynamic thing that carries all the miracles, mystery, and wonder no thought or fantasy could ever contrive. Thinking destroys It because, in and of itself, thinking is not a living, breathing thing. Give “what is” your life, and it will live on through you and you through it. There is nothing more spectacular in the entire universe than YOU living fully NOW!

It is unimportant, unnecessary, and perhaps even harmful to carry the erroneous idea that you can do anything you set your mind to. You know it’s untrue; everyone does, so why hold onto such nonsense? What YOU are, outside what you think, is having a finite human experience that ends when human form ends. You do not carry with YOU the nuttiness of the human mind that makes stuff up to appease its fear of the unknown.
Live with what you’ve got and take only what you get, and by all means, don’t make stuff up. That’s where perfection lies, and YOU are perfection. Abide in the mystery no human mind can comprehend, and live every moment to its fullest, no matter what it is. What YOU are is simply on a joy ride! You should enjoy it too!

The meaning of life you seek cannot be known because it doesn’t exist. Yes, you can imagine grand, noble purposes and find niches in life you believe are your purpose, but meaning derived from thought or fantasy is just that: thought or fantasy. The so-called “path with heart” has nothing to do with what you do or finding what you think you must do. It’s not a path at all. The “path with heart” is simply heart detached from anything mind-based, moving quietly through wherever you happen to be and whatever the rest of you happens to be doing.
Your heart is with you always. Even the darkest corners of your experience are enlivened when your heart, your quiet heart, is there, and that “means” everything!

Hindsight is blindsight. Not 20-20 as the saying goes. You can speculate about all the scenarios you could’ve, should’ve, or would’ve done in the past, and all the brilliance you devise looking back takes you out of NOW and adds a whole lot of noise and lament to the only “real” experience you can have. You cannot add to life, repair it by looking back at a non-existent past, or apply it to a non-existent future. Living now is 20-20, and it is all there is or will ever be. The only switch that gives you clarity is the one that turns your mind off. Do it now so you can “BE” now!

The truth of you, as told in the story you tell, is not the real story of you. It’s what you don’t tell. Ego needs to claim its victories over life’s tribulations, its comebacks, and rising from the ashes, but it does so to paint over the real, which is untold. No ego is humble enough to reveal the truth. That’s just its nature. So what to do?
The best story is no story. You express what YOU are by living what is, as is, and all that needs telling is alive and real without embellishment, and all who actually hear quietly marvel. That’s because what YOU are is marvelous, despite the story you think others must hear. Plain and simple. Nothing you say speaks louder than what YOU are.
