Your judgments are the evidence your mind develops to separate you from the world and others. It is a colossal refusal to know yourself and reality. If others or the world, in general, offend you, you are in denial of the nightmare that rages within yourself. Until you awaken from that “outward-looking,” your fitful dreaming will prevent you from ever seeing what YOU are.
Your awakening is not a change in the world or in what you perceive as wrong or right. It is your reunion with it and the joyful realization that YOU are not a dream but the Creator of those who do. Reunite, and there is your love, your reality, and eternal peace.

Don’t worry about being your brother or sister’s keeper until you master keeping yourself. A pretty good rule of thumb is, “you’ll likely never master keeping yourself. “I want to help” is a statement of “I know what is best for you,” and while it looks like you may be helping, you are serving your own “wants,” whose ultimate aim is “getting” something you want. Do you see?
Be kind, gentle, and humble, and offer others only love, unnamed, and unparticularized. That is, what “keeps” you, and it will be enough for others, too.

The “path with heart” never forsakes another heart, regardless of the fury it encounters along the way. Love is written in the palm of every hand, but it sometimes takes another’s hand to notice. Is that “hand” yours?

YOU, that is what YOU are, that is not human, are found in every encounter. The walk in nature, the tree you embrace, the flowers that fill your senses, sunny days, storms, moonlit nights, and the myriad brushes with everything imaginable or unimaginable. YOU are found in all of it, but your mind seeks the comfortable, the easy, and stimulating. Regardless, YOU are there, not as a witness to experience, but as the creator of it, and it just doesn’t matter what you encounter.
Remove anger, emotion, and judgment from your experience and let the purity of your creation, your love, be the focus of your gaze. Creators find peace in all they create and smile a lot, even when their mind is telling them not to.

Beauty recognizes only beauty and nothing else. It knows nothing of your mind’s judgments that pick and choose what it labels such. Just because you have determined something distasteful does not make it “not” beautiful. It is said, “Beauty is in the eye of the beholder,” but it should also be noted that “any judgment in the beholder makes the eyes blind.” There is something in all of us that transcends the mind’s limited purview that is only recognizable when the mind disengages from its unique assessment of reality. You are real when you are quiet, non-judgmental, and when you are real, beauty’s narrowly focused beacon becomes life’s all-encompassing light. YOU are that light; let it shine!

You cannot know what’s coming. No one can, because it doesn’t exist, but you can lighten your worries by having some fun now. Collectively, it seems we have reached a point of seriousness we can’t escape, but we haven’t. There is no threshold except the one called “conjecture,” and it’s your creation. We’ve just forgotten how to have fun! That is, “you,” the heartbeat of the collective, has forgotten how to be silly, whimsical, giggly, and generally happy. “Life,” lives you, not the other way around. Take your joy, happiness, silliness, etc., into the life only you can experience. Let all the monsters who seem so dangerous know that you are living and that “what YOU are” gives life, love’s joy, and dances naked in the moonlight. Smile; life giggles at your whimsy, and if you’re actually dancing naked in the moonlight, so am I.

The common denominator, and thus the only constant in all existence, is YOU, which is inseparable from infinity. That is, all form, divided by the infinite (nothing or everything), makes form impermanent and YOU forever (permanent). Do you see?
How silly it is to place any importance on anything that is not here or appears to be here but eventually isn’t. Money, houses, cars, ideas, governments, education, social status, religion, beliefs, dreams, thoughts, rights, wrongs, good, evil, etc., etc., etc., will never outlast YOU. The very essence from which all that is, is YOU, giving rise to form that inevitably falls away.
The struggle of humans to hang on to the “impermanent” lies at the heart of all suffering. Everything you embrace goes away except YOU, who “looks” and forms again and again, and again. Knowing YOU is the only thing worthy of your attention. Everything else? Love it, have fun with it (or not), and let it go.

Mystery’s beauty is its code of silence. It is humans who ask why things are as they are, seek plausible explanations, and apply meaning to something that has no meaning. Do you see? Awareness is “not knowing,” but allowing the flow of mystery to keep you engaged with the moment, alert, and fearlessly committed to living “what is” as is. Only your silence can match its silence, but it is an indescribable thrill that never lets you go. Don’t ask why, how, when, or where. Mystery eludes even the most profound and elaborate responses.
Let the moment fill you in its way and without your inquiry, and “you” simply enjoy the thrill.

The simplest and most complete your life will ever be is at this moment. This moment contains everything needed to experience all that is, including YOU, who is its creator. To factor in, any prior learning or future dreaming complicates and confuses “what is” and sets you up to lose the moment to the unreal.
Keeping your life simple keeps you present, your intuitive faculties tuned in, and your mind that makes stuff up tuned out. It’s all, and only here, now. Keep it simple! Live the “NOW,” now.

Life’s most effective sounding board is silence. If you take your thoughts with you into experience, you’ll never know the peace life so wholly and sweetly offers. You can tell all in a quiet moment, and all you’ll get back is an embrace and love so deep it swallows every concern. Are you listening?
