Humans love to point at differences and use them to divide one from another. “My way or the highway,” and you are “less than” if you do not see it my way, and of course, “my way” is so pristine, rational, spiritual, and sound, etc., that “I” will always be on higher ground, than you so there can be no argument.
The collective “noise” is your noise, not your security or confirmation of a viewpoint. It is your separation from diversity. All lost because of a fixation on your point of view. It’s not worth it.
Harmony is lost to your perspective, and so too are love, peace, and connection. Forget the collective, else the loss to you will ripple through eternity. You will miss out on something breathtaking.

Regardless of its causes, purity, spiritual basis, etc., collectives are an assemblage of the weak, the unsure, and certainly those too full of doubt and fear to act courageously without a crowd. Collectives are a harbor of sunken ships.
Creators, in all their manifestations, are solitary, courageous, quietly rising in the face of all weakness. They are the lighthouses seen from afar, creating safe harbors.
Check your “crowd” affiliations; they reflect your weakness, and they’re not making you any more robust than you are on your own. What YOU are, only when away from the crowd, stands solitary, sturdy, even in the fiercest storms.

What you consider most obvious is not where your strength lies. The most “obvious” is likely no more than your conditioning to recognize, making it a comfortable confirmation of what you already believe. It’s what you don’t know buried beneath the glamor and eloquence of the obvious, that transforms living the obvious into a life of awareness. Do you see?
Strength, power, love, and the flow of life are not known in apparent ways. These things emanate from the depths of silence, which is the foundation of all that is. YOU are the center of “ALL that is.” You can’t speak it, nor does it ever appear apparent, but YOU are that. Anything beyond “that” is just noise masking the most significant force in the universe, e.g., YOU.

When mystery confronts you, it comes with no plan, no meaning, and no divine purpose that you must draw from it. All there is in the wake of its presence is pure silence, and its beauty is so immense it is unspeakable.
Mystery’s greatest mystery is that you are constantly surrounded by it.

You were not born to “be” anything other than what you are without the noise of thinking, believing, and hoping you will be something else. Do you see? We are repeatedly told we can be anything we want to be, which is not true. What you wish to be is a figment of your imagination, conjecture, and wishful thinking. That is, a product of your mind that has never experienced “what you are” in the midst of “what is.”
Know thyself,” e.g., “what YOU are,” before embarking on an endless journey to something else, e.g., something unreal, and remember if you can think it, wish it, hope it, believe it, that’s not it. YOU, as is, right now, are the creative center of the universe. You don’t have to think about what that means. Just accept that nothing in all the heavens and Earth exists without YOU.

Wanting keeps the futility of “what isn’t” alive and “what is” from being experienced. Until what you want only looks like “what is” here and now, you will forever be hooked to the dream of non-reality coupled with your mind’s puny attempts to alter it.
What you want is “what is.” It may not match your mind’s idea of how it should be, but wanting something “other” will not make “what is” go away, nor will it alter present moment mystery and splendor. Don’t “want” for anything; the transformation you experience is that you have everything. You already have everything, but only when you forgo all thoughts that tell you otherwise.

There is nothing to spirituality. When you’re there, you’ll know, and when you “know,” there’s “nothing” to know.

You can’t fix anyone you judge needs fixing, but you can fix yourself from all attempts to “fix” others. What you define as broken exposes your brokenness, not theirs. Kindness is not a shrug of the shoulders and a sigh of disdain. It emanates from a heart that embraces all of life’s nuance and variations and smiles at the pleasure of intermingling, without judgment, those who are not like you. In other words, you should be smiling a lot!

The rainbow colors appear separate when refracted (divided) through a prism but blend into whiteness (white light) when the prism is removed. Your mind is a prism through which all division takes place. That is your “colors,” whatever they may be, are you separating what is into little pieces of what isn’t, narrowing focus, and altering reality. Do you see?
Your mind is the divider separating all that is into preferential forms, e.g., good, evil, and all your variations. Removing your mind (silence) transforms you into ONE glorious light that shines on everything without separation of any kind. In other words, silence is your way to crystal clarity. When you give life your “undivided” attention (silence), nothing you experience will be without “enlightenment.”

You know, when you love life, suffering disappears. All things you judge right or not right give way to splendor, beauty, and myriad wonders all rolled up in “you,” wholly caught up in your experience. Stories, and all suffering, is stories lose their pizazz when living presently and in love. Close the book on your past or future. Living starts now!
