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!

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.

I say this often, but it cannot be stressed enough. “YOU are the creative center of the universe.” That is, nothing exists that is not kissed by YOU, the Divine, the Creator! YOU infuse the very essence of life into the living, and nothing perceived or not perceived is without the unfathomable mystery YOU breathe into it. To know YOU is to know your creations. I cannot look at anything and not “know” YOU; notwithstanding, “I stand all amazed!”

Firstly, in matters of the heart, never, ever, ever speak your mind. Your mind gets it wrong one hundred percent of the time. Secondly, all matters are matters of the heart. Shh…

There are no levels of spirituality. You cannot rise above others without separating yourself from them, which contradicts the very essence of oneness, spirituality purports to encompass. The master who points to anyone and claims that they are not as far along in the spiritual journey as themselves or others is broken. If WE are all one, then no one rises above the whole. No one! Love all and judge not; that’s how it works.

Finding beauty in everything opens your mind to what your heart already knows. There is literally beauty and wonder in everything you experience, and all of it is worthy of your love and awe. Cease all thoughts about your experience, what it means, or why it’s happening. Just embrace it, all of it!! Regardless of the experience, it is really amazing!! Breathtakingly amazing!

The only thing hard about humans is ego. Ego is the shell you form to protect yourself from the onslaught of other egos, and all egos, even the collective ego, are in protective mode. Love and expressions of love are the only way to soften both your own and the ego of others. Show and express love often! Smile, nod, and be kind. Ego always has to mellow in such interactions.

There are no “nots” in the language of life. “Nots” are a product of your mind. That is, if you say life is “not” supposed to be this or that, you pit yourself against reality. If life does not run the full gamut you experience, you mock it, and to judge it in any way is you making stuff up, which again, is denial of “what is” in this moment. Embrace your “nots” and don’t get tied up in knots over it. The spectrum of beauty and life itself contains not only the “nots” but everything else as well.

What you think, believe, or claim to know requires an ego to defend it. What YOU are outside of ego clings to nothing, which subdues an ego ready to fight. Know YOU; that is YOU, who has no description and is undefinable. YOU will not be found on a battlefield driven by egoic strategies but only on the pristine meadow of peace, solitude, and warm, gentle breezes. You’ll know it when you let go of what you know.

The “balance” you seek can only happen when all the things you believe cause you suffering, or are wrong with you or life in general, are willingly experienced and embraced. That is, living completely without a single regret or wish for something other. In other words, your life is not you swinging from one high to another low and trying to minimize (balance) the span or intensity between them. It is you in the middle (fulcrum) giving cause, not balance, to the entire ride. Without YOU, nothing else exists; hence, no “ride” at all! That is the sweetest joy you can see and the only life you’re going to experience anyway. Have fun!
