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!

“Words hurt,” as it is sometimes said, but they really don’t. What hurts is an egoic reaction to them, and “reaction” is an expression of your ego defending what it believes is essential to its formulated and unreal importance. What YOU are underneath your ego doesn’t care, nor can it be hurt. It simply smiles at every encounter, every interaction, everyone, and everything.
You need not protect yourself from others’ words. If you are whole and know what it is that lives beneath the noise of the mind (ego), there is nothing to be protected from. Know YOU, and you know no hurt or fear. Seriously!

Today is your day. Not in the sense that it comes to you bearing gifts and experiences fit for your joy, fulfillment, and happiness. Instead, you are its creator, and every miracle it contains, every encounter it provides, is born of your hands. Life is not written for you; it is written by YOU, and all it contains is YOUR gift to the created. You should smile at that. As for me, I’m grateful that YOU created all of this just for me to be a part of!

Keep your smile. It cuts through anything and puts your drama-filled mind at ease, which, contrary to popular opinion, is a problem creator, not a problem solver. Smiles are also contagious. Such a sweet, pure expression, recognizable by everyone, and always available on your face!

The human mind loves division. Right, wrong, this, that, up, down, good, evil, heads or tails, etc. Opposition in all things, and lo, everywhere there is division, and what it boils down to is you dividing that which is indivisible. In other words, it’s not that there is division; it’s that you, by yourself, are divided. The mechanism of division is mind-made, and your mind always assumes that the makeup of its reasoning is the acceptable divisor of everything else. Beneath your mind, you are whole, undivided, and indivisible, but you can only know this when your mind is no longer busying, itself divvying everything up.
Undivided, there is nothing that YOU are not, wholly and completely!

YOU have no potential. That’s right, none at all. But you don’t need it either. The potential self you think you must become is lower than what YOU are without such thoughts. Potential comes with lists and “to-dos,” rights and wrongs, and made-up stuff stemming from your buy-in to the paradigm that says everyone is on a path to improve and learn. Climb the mountain, and you will see, it is said, but all you see is another mountain and a list of things you must do to conquer it. “I wonder if I have the ‘potential, blah, blah, blah?’”
Climb mountains, not because you must get to the top to benefit from some “potential” improvement myth. YOU are already atop the highest of them all, and not once did you ascend to get there! Don’t look down; just let go. Awareness sees nothing but beauty, and YOU are already there! That is, if you drop out of the school of “potential.”

Consciousness is what ties you to your body; that makes the body, with its whims and fancies, all-important. That is consciousness’s problem and thus the creator of myth and illusion. It is non-consciousness, make that “no” consciousness that frees you from the rules of consciousness and its hard-bound attachment to form. When you are thinking, lost in your thoughts, you are disconnected from reality. That is, you cannot “think” your way to awareness, nor will you ever take your body to it. You must be free of form, and that can only happen in the sweet peace of silence where nothing you think exists, exists. Disconnection is connection.

You are the maker of the mountain you think you must climb, not the climber of it. The view from the top is yours only when you get that what YOU are is where you are. Rest a bit and have a look. There’s nothing more beautiful than the “top” upon which you presently stand!

Love “labeled” isn’t love. It’s a script, a plan, a program, a how-to, a when-to, and a why. In other words, it is your mind dabbling with something that just is and altering it into something that can be conceptualized; it can then be toyed with, bargained with, and conditionalized. YOU are love, and love without conditions can only happen when your mind is off. That is, when the mind is away, love can play.

Only you can take responsibility for your life. That is nothing outside you, e.g., gods, universes, source, spirit, ministers, gurus, etc., can relieve you of the opportunity you have to live what you are to the fullest. Yielding to any other is a conceptual mistake and a denial of your unique unfolding.
Let go of anything that tells you to be other than what YOU are and let “what YOU are” be your only source. You know, what’s there; It whispers to you constantly. It’s time to listen!
