There is no learning process for awareness, just as there is no citing recipes for delicious dishes to a hungry child, expecting that doing so will satisfy their hunger. You must unlearn and be present to what is, without the narrative your “knowledge” wants it to compare to. Do you see? Your mind wants to add to, replace, layer on top of what’s already learned, and evolve into the latest and greatest version of awareness, expecting that, somehow, in the “education” itself, “milk and honey” flows and the “promised land” is reached.
Nothing you know, now or ever, will make you aware. You stand in “milk and honey.” Only your mind has you looking elsewhere for it! Look no more, you’re already here.

Life is without motive, and living should be too. Ego has motives that thwart the very essence of living with something perceived that must be achieved. What you are, before any thought, is stillness and tranquility ungarbled by the difficulties of change and achievement, motivated by an insatiable ego that must have in order to be. Motives driven by desire require prior knowledge and thought, while life, in its purest form, is a mystery, unabated by anything you think it is or should be. Taking a step into living is not an act of faith; it’s an act of courage requiring stepping into the unknown and the unknowable. Think about it all you want, and you still don’t know.

The best version of yourself will never be something you think or aspire to be. That would only be the made-up version of you, which isn’t you. In other words, the future holds no version of you that you can ever get to. The future doesn’t exist, and neither does the (best) version of yourself that you contrive in your mind to become. You, right now, are the only version of yourself that can and, surprisingly, does exist. And let me just say, “it doesn’t get any better! That is, you, now, are the most incredible mosaic of all that is, and if it weren’t all happening right now, it would never happen at all. You’re amazing. Why is it so hard for you, who search for better versions, to see that? Silly humans!

Love is not anything like the definition of the words you use to describe it, and therein lies its elusiveness and mystery. We look at things, trees, flowers, mountains, birds, etc., without ever seeing what they are without the label used to describe them. It is the same with love. To know love, you must separate what the word love represents and all the definitions you give to it from the “fact” of it. That is letting the overwhelming experience wash over you without your mind’s busyness analyzing what it is. Doing so leaves you breathless and at a total loss for meaning. And, it may happen in the blink of an eye and then be gone, but still, it never goes away.
Love is all you will ever be. You’ll know it when you can no longer speak it.

“Your reality” has everything to do with what you think, but “true reality” has nothing to do with what you think. Thinking is your bias, and that is all. It is neither true nor untrue; it is just bias formed over the life you have experienced. Stepping away from bias (what you think) is difficult, if not impossible, but it is the only way to experience true reality, and it is the only way to appreciate the vast mystery you are surrounded by.
It is not incumbent upon you or anyone else to know or answer life’s mysteries. Life is simply yours to live without reason or why, and the fewer reasons and whys you have, the more abundant it is. That is, “reality” is as close as losing “your reality.”

The answer to “knowing’s” great quest is “not knowing.” That is, “nothing” is the response of the universe to everything. Without YOU, there is no “everything.” Let “nothing” be on your mind today, and “knowing” quietly and spectacularly unfolds.

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.”
