Destiny, as many speak of it, seems to be an elusive thing. That is, it is spoken of as something to discover and fulfill. Few speak of what is now as the fulfillment of their destiny. “It just has to be something else,” is the oft-used refrain. Is this not folly? The reality is that you “live” your destiny, not become it. There is no perfect place in life other than the place you are right now, and it is a fantasy that there is something other than what is. NOW speaks to “what YOU are” at this moment, in this experience, and it is not some presupposed “destiny” you’ve convinced yourself must exist outside of what is happening. Simply stated, if you’re breathing, you’re experiencing the only destiny you can.
Welcome to NOW; it’s the most excellent place in the universe, and best of all, YOU are IT! Embrace “what is”; that’s your reality, e.g., destiny!

Humans get stuck in the dilemma of “becoming,” which is an entirely different “action” than “being”: becoming is the endless search for what isn’t, while being is the complete embrace of what is, now. Do you see? Life is what it is, and it isn’t served up to you, me, or anyone for any reason. Still, that does not stop humans from making up fantastic reasons for living. Don’t be one of them. Be present without any concern that what is has any purpose, definition, or meaning at all. Live without discretion; that is, the discretion that is free of the conditioning that formed the basis of your discretion. In other words, don’t make stuff up!
Being in harmony with “what is” is being free of what you think is. Becoming is enslavement to mind-made processes, which always end in confusion; being is freedom from the “mind-made” altogether. Think less, be more! It is that simple.

Give yourself to each moment you find yourself in, especially those you typically react to because of anger, sadness, or offense. Be grateful for every exchange your human endeavor provides, and thank whomever you encounter for it. Every encounter is the light of your soul and the crack into which you glimpse eternity and something far more profound than emotional, human reactions.
Humans have so much, but dilly-dally in the small, benign, and extraneous, and create silly apparitions that follow them around the whole of their lives. Don’t let a single “thank you” be unsaid. It is the key to a panorama few will ever experience! Be one of them.

You make only one choice in life, which is to resist what is right now with a mental barrage of what is wrong and what it should otherwise be, and how you’re going to change it. Do you see? No other creature on the planet questions its life in the moment. It acquiesces to now and acts in the moment, whatever it may be, and applies its resources to thrive. “What is” is a living thing that is ripe with challenge and mystery. It is not an affront to your sense of reason, rightness, or scrutiny. You don’t choose to live; you choose to question life and, in the process, live in a mental fantasy that corrupts it.
In other words, choose not to choose or just don’t choose at all and adventure out, instead, with the wonders before you. It’s easier and more fun.

Awareness is an embrace of eternity, a nudge from the infinite to move and bend when the slightest hint is offered. It gathers no reason, nor does it offer any. Awareness is always upon your shoulders, but its only reconciliation with human thought is when all thoughts are absent, and you bend freely to its touch. Look without seeing, see without looking. The nudge of eternity beckons your stillness.

We (humans) seem to be so busy wondering, speculating, pontificating why things are happening and what the takeaways relative to those happenings should be, that we miss what’s happening. Do you see?
Life is not conscious of what you think, what you dream, or believe. It quietly moves through myriad forms and vistas, offering its infinite abundance to those who “quietly” move with it. Somewhere, amidst all the noise of what isn’t YOU are happening. That is, YOU are life’s unfoldment. Nothing is more precious, sweet, infinite than YOU, NOW! Go happen!

Awareness is presence, untethered by anything that has gone before. Simply, “anything” is everything, e.g., “the past does not and never has existed.” Awareness is a clean slate on which all that is, right now, forms. Unlike thoughts and dreams, beliefs, and hopes, which originate in the past, awareness is like pristine waters where nary a breeze ripples its surface.
YOU are pristine waters. Let not the winds of memory cast clouds upon you. Be present.

Ego loves the spectacular, the awe-inspiring, mind-jolting “burning bush,” calls it a miracle, and is quick to place profound meaning in it relative to current circumstances, missing the real miracles, which are infinite in number and everywhere. A dewdrop sparkling on a blade of grass, a flower or tree swaying in the wind, snow, smiles, winks, a kiss, the smell of rain newly fallen, a breath, the whisper “I love you,” in tender moments, sunsets, sunrises, a child skipping to school, crying, laughter, etc., etc., etc.
The big and bold is the chase of ego, and in that chase, real miracles go unrecognized, and life itself is reconciled to the mundane. Close your mind, and, in so doing, you open awareness. That is, nothing is missed, and all that you experience is one great big miracle. Wherever YOU are, whatever you are doing, they are there and for no other reason than to enrich your life with wonders.

Own what you think without the implication that what you think matters in any way to anyone else. You know it matters when you grow angry, frustrated, or excited by those who do not “think” as you do, and often even when they do. Have you ever observed when two or more are discussing an agreed-upon viewpoint, and the tenor of the discussion turns competitive between those who have the better reason for it? Humans jettison energy and do so for the most inane reasons, e.g., to prove a point that doesn’t matter. All other earthly life forms conserve energy, and nearly all humans credit them with greater awareness and sensitivity to what is going on in and around them. How do you think they do it? They live, not for others or because of others. They give nothing to the unimportant and, in so doing, have the energy to see what we (humans) rarely, if ever, see.
The fewer things you have to think about that you believe matter, the less you have to “think” at all. You’ll love what you see when you do!

Humans routinely believe that awareness comes through focus, but it doesn’t. The concentrated mind is busy and far too bound to the “focused on” to be aware. Without a thought or even the thought of a thought, expansiveness creeps into your field of view. Definition ceases, and all that is permeates the essence of YOU that has no mind. The baseline of infinity is nothing out of which is everything. In other words, “awareness” has no foundation, definition, or description, e.g., nothing to “focus” on. It is YOU, clear and unfettered by you. “Lose yourself to find YOUR-self.”
