Psychology, spirituality, and religion seek to give identity to the “problem,” whatever it may be, e.g., neurosis, morality, sin, etc. Whether individually or collectively, identity all too often becomes the “excuse” for behavior rather than the path to healing it. Do you see?
“I now know what my problem is called, and that makes it okay or certainly not my fault because, after all, ‘the devil made me do it.’” All the while, the reality you project and dislike remains, and the ensuing story of this new identity (excuse) begins. The fact is you’re not the identity you have been labeled. You’re the real deal, meaning if you’re a schmuck, you’re a schmuck regardless of the reasons for being so.
It takes a lot of work to be angry, unhappy, rude, mean, unkind, unloving, etc. Having reasons for such states is not an excuse for not doing the work to overcome them. Own what you are, and if you don’t like it, fix it. You’re the only one who can. Transformation to reality happens within but shows its magic without. Resolve to show the magic only you have.

The world lands in a place you likely want it to or not. You feel good when it does and not so good when it doesn’t, but it’s a fallacy to think you chose it. Our minds love to “think” they are on the right side of everything, but the mind confuses everything by its bifurcation of reality.
Everything you see, can’t see, and are incapable of any conceptualization is your creation, which emanates from an unseen source. Why allow a finite blob of gray matter to divide any of it into chunks of good or bad?
Know “what YOU are,” and reality will never elude you, and the vastness of infinity will never be, again, confined to mind-constructed good or bad. “All that is,” really is fabulous!

Remembering is the alter-ego of forgetting. Forgiveness’s elemental power is freeing you to know “what YOU are,” but that can’t happen if you hang on to things that take you from it, e.g., all that you remember.
Sure, you can move on, but without forgetting, the anchor of remembering grows more massive, and the power of forgiveness fades under the weight. The loss is only yours, and it is an enormous loss. Forgive and forget; if you don’t, you’ll never “remember” YOU!

Weakness in others is always more apparent than strengths, as we are conditioned early on to be aware of our own, making it easy to point out in others. However, “pointing out” is a deflection from yourself and presumably a haven from others’ discovery that “what you point at” is what you are. You create those you attack just as you do those you uphold and praise.
Creative power is the same either way, but only you disguise one over the other. Are you beginning to see where “division” comes from? It’s not out there in the noise of so-called “weakness.” It’s in what you call your strength. Create and love your creations without distinction; all of them! Love of all heals all.

What you say about anyone says more about you than the reality you think you are expressing. There is but one side to any one of us worthy of expression, if at all, and that is, we are Gods, steeped in human form and experience. You can be the love that is only expressed in the God you are or the human who is judgmental, egoic, and easily waylaid by collective streams of consciousness.
It doesn’t matter which way you go, but I promise you, Gods have way more fun, no stress, and endless joy. Oh, and Gods don’t choose; they create “what they are,” continually smiling at the silliness of the human forms they experience. Is that YOU, smiling?

Your search for truth, enlightenment, awareness, or whatever you call it is comparable to procrastination, which is little more than a purposeful pursuit of comfort and safety while fully aware that you are wasting time. It is never about what you may find. It’s about looking for what already is, which is scary because it’s right here, right now, and the safest way to put it off is to make stuff up that isn’t real, like your story of suffering, triumph, dreams, and ambitions.
What YOU are, buried beneath your procrastination, will never be told. IT can only be lived wholly and entirely without the comfort and safety your mind makes up. “Know thyself.” While scary, it’s a joy ride like nothing else you will ever experience.

YOU are neither subject nor object nor is anything you perceive as a human. YOU do nothing, yet are everything. YOU always enjoys the ride, but “you” may not. This is why it is necessary to override you with YOU. While you are searching for the perfect, end-all ride, YOU will enjoy the ride but never leave the fairground. So are you, you, or YOU?

Knowing what YOU are, or as many gurus label “Self,” you suddenly see with infinite eyes. That is eyes that cease to perceive things as separate from the perceiver without the division created by descriptive language, education, and social and religious background.
Beyond everything you think, know, or believe lies all that cannot be comprehended in such limited descriptions. Knowing what YOU are is the awareness you know nothing, and “nothing” is infinite. Finding YOU is the perfect ride!

You can act surreptitiously to make your experience appear other than it is, but you live a hell of your own making in doing so. Life passes by those who try to make it what it is not, and what it is not is anything you think, believe, or even know it is.
Unmasking is awakening, which is “awareness” that your finite mind cannot contain the infinite. YOU are ever-present, silent, strong, and without guile, e.g., perfect. What you think is the antithesis of perfection and, thus, your limitation.
Know YOU and all else falls into the fleeting and unimportant, e.g., nothing else matters.

Most searchers are impulse buyers. That is, they have an idea of what they seek and pay the price that such a search requires. Do this or that, and call me in the morning, and if you don’t get the results you’re looking for, you’re doing something wrong. Next, let’s try this, etc., etc.
Few, if any, pay the price to know themselves. That is, “what they are” that lies beneath the attachments to the world driven by bodily desires. You were born without attachments and no awareness of your own body. What were you, then? Do you wonder?
The only thing worth knowing is that which cannot be bought or sold. Paradoxically, it cannot be told either. The price of “knowing” YOU is detachment from desires, safety, security, comfort, and all the other things your body uses to hook you to the world. However, the price you’ve paid for such things is high, and the sellers, who guarantee results if you do as they say, are relentless in keeping you subscribed.
Stop buying and give away what you have bought today or for just a few minutes or hours. The return is indescribable, and you and you merge with the infinite—all at no cost!
