Your World, Intuitively
Awareness holds no anger, ever. Anger connects you to the mundane and unimportant acts of others and your own, drawing you away from the unfathomable surrounding you. Let others be their silly selves while you discharge your silliness with clarity, honesty, and detachment.
Wonders you will see even amid so much importance given to the unimportant!
Self-debasing at any level is driven by the stories you tell of its beginnings. Do you see? Stories fuel a protracted struggle to reach an arbitrary level taught and believed must be achieved to overcome your “less-than-ness” caused by something that no longer exists in reality. But the telling of the stories never seems to stop. Isn’t what you should do obvious?
Any story you tell of you is not you. It is fiction’s invasion of you now and now, regardless of any idea you attach to it, is perfection only someone without any story can experience. Don’t waste “now” with anything that isn’t, and your story, no matter how grand or horrific, “isn’t.”
YOU are perfect now; it is the only place or time you will be. So, right now seems like an excellent place to begin your perfect reality.
Collective outrage takes root in a single heart at war with itself plus another, plus another, etc. Do you see? Plusses and minuses are you aligning with a feeling or mood that does nothing more than separate you from YOU, and while “you” may feel energized and victorious, YOU are nowhere to be found.
No collective is worth your loss of wholeness and connection. Where’s your heart? Not that one, the real one!
If you believe that you have figured it out, know why and where you are, and have discovered your reason for being, you’d never have to repeat your history, speak your truth, or explain how you got to your incredible awareness. Transformation comes without explanation or reason and is indescribable in any language and non-transferable. You will never convince anyone that you “know the way.” In other words, awareness is exclusively full of mystery and surprise for you.
Afterward, all you can do is be aware and recognize that the same awareness stands right next to everyone else you encounter, only not yet realized by them. It makes it ever so easy to love everyone! It’s pretty cool when you think about it, but don’t “think” about it. Just love!
My joy, your suffering. Your point of view, my judgment. My anger, your glee. Your lowliness, my arrogance. My awareness, your blindness. Your love, my hate, my politics, your religion, your education, my weak-mindedness. My loss, your gain, and on and on and on. See a pattern?
All because what’s “yours” is believed, and what’s “mine” is believed. No one can see through beliefs. Thus, while preserving what’s mine and what’s yours, we all walk blindly into a non-existent reality upheld by unbelievable nonsense believed! Can you see?
When you fail to see that the inner beauty of those not like you is different from what you claim yours to be, it’s time to shed your beliefs. They’ve made you blind, and blindness is no way to experience something so grand as life right now in whatever it has served up! Please don’t take my word for it, but do give it a try. You won’t believe it, and that’s a good thing!
Remind yourself often that “what YOU are” stepped down to have the “human” experience you are currently having. In other words, “what YOU are” is infinitely more than the human form you occupy. Regardless of what you think, believe, or do, you are always that greater light having this wondrous “human experience.” Regardless of “what is,” YOU transcend it; that is… YOU are God!
“Can life be more meaningful?” the questioner asked. “Don’t you mean that you have some idea of what life can give you that makes you feel better about it?” was the answer.
No part of your experience is happening because you believe it is for your good, bad, or unfolding some purpose you want it to have. You (ego) bring(s) all of that to the party, and what you think is a buzzkill for any party. Regardless of what you experience, YOU are the most incredible show on earth, and while it is all yours, it has nothing to do with anything you “thought” it should be. What you believe “meaningful” isn’t. Living what is, is.
It is often said, “It’s the journey, not the destination,” but it’s neither in reality. Life’s sweetness is, ultimately, in living it. That is living each moment well and impeccably. Do you see? Destinations are conceptual creations of minds that are not content with what’s happening now and distractions from the only place the “real” exists, e.g., right here, right now. The “journey” leads you away from “here and now,” and all “destinations” are imaginary.
Your so-called “higher self” is not waiting for you to “get there” so that your life suddenly turns into something you’ve dreamed of that doesn’t look like your life. YOU are here now, and it is the sweetest place in the universe if your mind is off and your heart is on. Live well, smile, and be your best. You’ll never have to be or do anything else.
Your side, mine, your religion, mine, your politics, mine, your righteousness, mine, etc., are nothing but the context in which you formed your ego, and I formed mine. Do you see? You are right, and I am wrong all because of your context, which I could never have experienced, nor you, mine and in the name of my, impossible to be wrong, rightness and you yours, you, me and everyone can condone and even advocate the most abhorrent behaviors and actions toward fellow human beings.
Some will exclaim, “We are all one,” and retreat into context. Silly humans. “I am right, and you are wrong” as a context for living doesn’t seem to work. Maybe we should try “I am wrong” and leave it at that. I don’t know. I was just (wrongly) wondering.
What is it about you, me, or anyone who thinks there is something more to life than what is right now? Shallow experience is what you think about, while the only thing you can experience is what’s happening now. Do you see? Reality never carries the seeds of thoughts, contemplation of what might come later, or comparisons to what has passed. Only humans do that and, in so doing, replace “what is” with the thoughtful, dull, repetitious drone of “what isn’t.”
Lose yourself to silence and quietly watch the magic appear. Actually, it won’t appear; you’ll simply recognize what is always there but hidden behind the clutter of thoughts. You don’t need “more” in life; you need less of what you “think” it should be.
