There is nothing you or anyone needs to know about how life will show up for you in order for you to live it. What you know, what others tell you, life must be is in no way how it is. Life is entirely out of your or anyone else’s control, and to buy into any semblance of how to make it work for you is to make it drab, stifling, and boring.
You can, however, bring “you,” as is, to every experience and encounter. That is the “real” you without the illusion that you control anything happening. You are life’s flavor and spiciness, and while you can’t change “what is,” because of “you,” experience can be rich, exciting, fun, and just better. Seriously! Go “spice” it up!

Wanting keeps the futility of “what isn’t” alive and “what is” from being experienced. Until what you want only looks like “what is” here and now, you will forever be hooked to the dream of non-reality coupled with your mind’s puny attempts to alter it.
What you want is “what is.” It may not match your mind’s idea of how it should be, but wanting something “other” will not make “what is” go away, nor will it alter present moment mystery and splendor. Don’t “want” for anything; the transformation you experience is that you have everything. You already have everything, but only when you forgo all thoughts that tell you otherwise.

Mystery explodes into awareness but only in the presence of the unexplained. A calm and expansion of view occurs when, with eyes wide open and thoughts at rest, all you see is unperceived by your mind. In other words, awareness directly correlates to the unknown and the unknowable but is completely lost to the “known.”
Your words, thoughts, and descriptions blind you; Awareness is not blind. Let “mystery” be without noisy speculation; awareness will silence all inquiries. The unknowable is the real “beautiful life!”

The rainbow colors appear separate when refracted (divided) through a prism but blend into whiteness (white light) when the prism is removed. Your mind is a prism through which all division takes place. That is your “colors,” whatever they may be, are you separating what is into little pieces of what isn’t, narrowing focus, and altering reality. Do you see?
Your mind is the divider separating all that is into preferential forms, e.g., good, evil, and all your variations. Removing your mind (silence) transforms you into ONE glorious light that shines on everything without separation of any kind. In other words, silence is your way to crystal clarity. When you give life your “undivided” attention (silence), nothing you experience will be without “enlightenment.”

Your mind is a traveler; only its travels are to the unreal. Forward, backward, and all points in between except for the only “point” that matters. Do you know what it is?
Seriously, when does anything real actually happen? Why would you want to be anywhere else than here now? Let the day live YOU, and keep it real!

Awareness comes not in the “opening” of your mind. It comes in the closing of it. Your mind loves its platform, knowledge, and ground rules. Life knows none of these things, so it knows no bounds. Neither do you when you are silent and free from what your mind loves.

Roughly a quarter to one-third of human existence is nothingness, e.g., sleep. You close your eyes, and time ceases, “you” are without any conscious awareness, problems vanish, and then, just like that, you awaken, and “you” appear out of nowhere, and “what was” piles back on to your suddenly realized self.
Where did “you” go when you fell asleep? What are “you” when your body sleeps and consciousness has disappeared? Is this your state before you appeared on Earth? If you can say you don’t know. If you know, you can’t say.
Still, it seems the most incredible peace offered by awareness lies in being completely unaware. Who knows? But thank goodness for those periodic spells of unconsciousness.

What you plan for is likely to become the object of your frustration. Only because plans become overly important to the mind (you) who creates them, and no plan, no matter how sophisticated, will ever resolve the quirky, unsophisticated ramblings of life unfolding as it does.
Make your plans, but never forget that the only important thing in life is life. That is the life you experience right now, and if that aligns with your “plans,” consider yourself lucky, and if it doesn’t, allow yourself to meander a new side-road full of adventure and surprise.
Nothing you do is important. Knowing what YOU are is. Sometimes, keeping your heart means losing your mind and all its preparations for what may or may not come.

Your fixation on improving or learning something in life should go no further than developing to a high degree your ability to experience your experience more fully. You have the perfect playground for developing such skills as well. It’s right here right now without the intellectualization of previous experiences or the confusion of imagined future experiences that do not exist in reality.
In other words, you love what is, and life fills in all the blanks, or you play multiple-choice and live a life where your carefully thought-out, well-reasoned, and meticulously committed to memory guesses are wrong. You won’t fail in either case, but you might experience less stress and much more fun. Just sayin’.
Living by the book or just living. It’s not much of a choice if you don’t think about it, but it’s a monster if you do, So don’t.

What you think (about anything) will always be limited by what you think. Do you see? The infinite is not containable in thought or any stream of thoughts. Your capacity to fathom the eternal only happens when it is clear that the vibration of “nothing” (the infinite) is the vibration of your mind. In other words, the infinite begets infinity, and that is not something you can know or think about! Lose your mind!
