Ego’s outstanding achievement is suppressing the most obvious things you experience and replacing the real with eloquent expression and epistemological description. It is so clever that unfathomable beauty can be right in front of you, and all you will see is ugliness if that happens to be the mood of ego at the moment. Do you see?

The “mood” of ego is its preservation, and it will alter reality to hold its position of dominance over your experience regardless of any impact it may have on your experience. “I see,” you say. “I” is ego and is incapable of seeing the unseen, which is the “obvious,” e.g., beauty.

Beauty exists in every moment, every encounter, and YOU have eyes to know it when your “I’s” are made blind. That is, silent. It’s not so obvious when you think about it, so stop thinking about it!

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.

The time to let go is now—always now. To hold on to all the things “modern living” vies for adds to the pile of unimportant junk that frustrates living in general. There are few things you must do, and unless you give the green light to do them, they have no power over you.

Turn off that news or social media feed, take the scenic route to work, and slow down. Turn off your phone for an hour or six, close your laptop, pause, smile, and casually but firmly say no to that lunch invite; it’s time you could put to calmer use. And by all means, don’t fill this moment with anything the non-existent future demands. Did you get that? The future (and past) is “non-existent!” Let go and see if you don’t make it to the end of the day. I bet you do.

Awareness contains breathtaking mysteries and other worlds passing in front of your eyes that get hijacked by your point of view. In other words, your thinking is not the harbinger of reality but its destroyer.

Don’t try to unravel what you experience. Doing so will only sully the sanctity of it, and you will miss the unfathomable. The awareness of mystery unveils in silence, and so will YOU if you silence what you think!

Choosing is not about deciding between things. It is taking ownership of what is right in front of you right now. After all, YOU create “what is,” and any denial of it is fighting against the very creator who creates, e.g., YOU! Owning “what is” is the only choice there is. You are living NOW or fighting it. Call “whatever” a choice; it will still be “what is,” regardless!

Do you know what it’s like when you’re there? You know that “there” we all search for? It feels like right now, right here, and if it doesn’t, and you’re still thinking about there, you will never get there. “There” isn’t anywhere, but “here” now is. In other words, going “there” is simply being “here.” See you there 😊

Thoughts will never outrun the pace of life. We cannot think our way to better-ness because, right now, no such thing exists. YOU stand at the center of all that is, and with YOU, at the center, nothing could be more grand or powerful. Embracing life, that is, what you experience right now, will get you further than anything you can think otherwise. Life is, after all, YOU!
