There is nowhere to go in life, no moving forward, backward, up, down, or any other direction. Forward and backward, etc., do not exist. Life is only about you being, and if you are breathing, you are being. Being is the only “where” and “what” there is, and whatever you seek elsewhere takes you from it. The YOU that seeks nothing, nowhere is the grand spectacle, so why search for it elsewhere? If you’re anywhere but here now, you’re going nowhere. Just BE; YOU, after all, are every “where,” and every “thing.”

The past is where your judgments and reasoning were formed. It is the worst place to spend any time, yet your mind will work tirelessly to keep you there. Get present and simply be with the newness of each crystal-clear moment. The clearer your head, the clearer your experience.

Taking responsibility for your life means giving up everything you believe has gotten you to where you are now. In other words, there is nothing to credit or blame for where you are. You’re here now, and that is all that ever matters in this pristine newness, unencumbered by a nonexistent past or future. You’re not in school or training, nor are you being tested and tried for some made-up purpose; most have deluded themselves into believing it is a necessary stepping stone to another delusion that takes you out of the miracle of this moment. You only have now, and it is what it is, and you are what you are, and no judgment or speculation will alter it or you. So why not embrace this moment with enthusiasm, zest, and a completely clear mind? It’s just more exhilarating if you do!

To fully experience this moment (now) requires detachment from all other moments experienced prior to this moment and those you hope to experience in some nonexistent future. Awareness is empty of all thinking; all noise from past and future non-realities. It is the beheld and released, the silent swim in a thoughtless sea of spectacular luxury, all occurring in the twinkling of an eye. Lose your mind, silence all thoughts, let your eyes twinkle and swim. The silent sea awaits YOU.

Don’t try to solve problems that don’t exist. If you are thinking you’re likely thinking about something that already happened, the outcome of which cannot be altered, or what you hope happens in the future, that probably won’t happen any way you think it should. “What is” is all you’ve got, and it does not need kibitzing from a chattering mind that assumes it has any control. Listen to yourself. You might even get a good laugh at what marvels of nonsense your mind comes up with. But only laugh, then let it go! You have things to do that can only be done in the present. Besides, when you’re present, it’s a whole lot quieter!

Spirituality, awakening, awareness, enlightenment, whatever you call it, only exists in the present. You cannot experience it anywhere else, not even in a so-called previous experience. It has no residence in the past or the future, as those are just memories or imagination. In other words, spirituality is a constant, present-moment reality that you always are; there is never a becoming, searching-for, and finding. To speak of it in any way or to speak as if you have a mantle because you have awakened is to step out of the real. Awakening is the ultimate humbling that lacks for words but thunders silence. Be thunderous.

Clarity has nothing to do with how or what you think about something. On the contrary, thinking makes clarity impossible. The present moment, before any thought, is free of any impurity (thought, belief, judgment, etc.) and is the clearest you will ever be. Adding anything to that pureness is little more than dragging the past into the present, and that is all thinking can do. Be silent, be clear.

Life is not a series of fits and starts that continue on even over endless lifetimes. Only humans create scenarios that push into the past or future, neither of which exists. Do you see? Where is “starting over” on an infinite scale? Oneness is everythingness all wrapped up in this moment. Not in a “moment” of time that turns into another moment that creates the “series of moments” you are taught to view life as. YOU are infinite, and the representation of infinity is zero, e.g., nothing. Did you get that? You are and have nothing to start or end with. Nothing is all there is, and IT isn’t.
You can never start over, nor can you move out of a non-existent past or into an equally unreal future! All that is is YOU, now, in this undefined moment, and it is from YOU that everything is. The experience of nothing is YOU BE-ing. Not before, not after, just BE-ing.

The self you believe you are, that is the culmination of life experiences, learning, relationships, accomplishments, affiliations, heritage, even multiples of lifetimes, etc., is not your true self. That is merely painting by the numbers, and while YOU are high art, YOU are not a tapestry of things that have happened or are yet to happen.
All that is is because of YOU, not for you. All that is will always look to YOU and be grateful. The master’s hand, e.g., your hand, creates the masterpiece. Nicely done.

Truth is without memory or imagination. That is, it only exists in the present, where all that you think, believe, and hope for is but a remembrance or wish for something that is no longer real or that has never been real, and neither can be a part of “now” except as you sully the moment thinking of them.
For humans, brilliance is a mind full of knowledge, acquired over a long life of experience and learning, dreams fulfilled and unfulfilled, neatly warehoused in the mind. For Gods, truth is not sought or remembered; it is lived in the only place it can be. Right here, right now. Oh, and by the way, YOU are Gods.
