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 things you cherish cannot be comprehended intellectually, regardless of what they are. You can string eloquent words together, forming profound and beautiful descriptions, but something else tugs on your awareness beyond those descriptions.
It isn’t easy to stay in a state of descriptionless awareness, but you can remain aware that what your mind “thinks” is unimportant folly full of made-up nonsense, all there to keep you from the truly cherished. Shamans call it “controlled folly.” Live as though everything matters, but knowing that what is not or cannot be known on the plain of human experience shakes the foundation of intellect.
Simply, with “mind” (thoughts), you have a lot. Without it, you have infinitely more.

Awareness is seeing exactly “what is” without any thoughts or explanations accompanying it. One who “sees” (is aware) “knows” instantly and is clear before any thought enters into it. In other words, any explanation of “what is” is its undoing.

You could say reverence is the doorway to “knowing” what is that otherwise is unknowable.

The motive force of all creatures, including humans, is survival. However, humans have an evolutionary nuance that allows them to make up what they consider essential to survival. Do you see?
All the stuff humans make up about human existence is also all they find wrong with it. You came here with nothing, and you will leave with nothing, and everything you uphold, believe, and gather between arrival and departure is nothing.
You have so little time to experience this miracle of life that anything you wrap yourself up in as important blinds you to its treasure. Living requires no opinion, causes, or inventory whatsoever. You know how to live. Stop listening to all the babble humans make up about how to do so! You’ve got this.

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.

Self-importance is the mountain no one successfully climbs. Its incline is steep, and its peak extends forever in the mind that struggles to reach it. Eventually, you’re in the clouds where you can no longer see anything but your ego-imagined self. There is nothing of value on the mountain of self-importance.

Nothing you do in any walk of life is important. That you are “what YOU are” while walking is. YOU have no measure in human “being.”

Have you ever noticed that happiness comes without wanting anything else? When you are happy, you’re not thinking about what you want to replace it. It’s the complete package of present-moment awareness, containing everything worth having right then and there.

Isn’t that the way of presence, experiencing “what is” without the pull of unnecessary desires stealing reality? What you want is always right in front of you. It’s not a lesson, revelation, or previous dream that has come true. It is what it is, and nothing you want will ever replace it or alter it, so why add a single “want” to it?

“What is” is yours to disparage or embrace. Since you cannot change anything, why not just embrace it? Seriously, what more could you “want?”

You cannot blame the depth of ugliness humanity reaches on any individual, collective, religion, politics, or ideology. You can only blame yourself for your contribution to it. What is is you. It’s that simple.

The only path to peace in the world is to remove the ego from it. Not theirs; yours. Not so simple but necessary.

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!

Love cannot be expressed by hating those who don’t love what you say, think, believe, or do. Love’s only equal is everything, and “everything” is necessarily the only emanation your love should manifest.
