The aware act well, participate fully, and appear to know what they are doing, even though they know nothing. They are free from the burden of self-importance and self-confidence that marries them to good and evil, right and wrong, and myriad other thoughts and beliefs humans wrap themselves in.
You are not better because you are aware, even though it may look that way to others. Awareness comes without ratings and rules. You “know” that knowing nothing is the ultimate knowing. This, I “don’t” know.

It is far too easy to look at “what is” with regret and belabor your place in collective insanity than to accept “what is” with humility, determination, and live life as a challenge regardless of what it serves up. Awareness is not subdivided by what you or anyone else thinks it should be.
The crux of enlightenment is that you were born with it, taught to turn it off, but still have it even though it is buried under a whole lot of “mind-made” nonsense. Uncovering what YOU are, before you were conditioned otherwise, transforms the world and enriches its mystery. Lose the vocabulary that says what enlightenment is or how it is obtained. You’re swimming in it!
Living mystery, without regret, is the ultimate joy, and the whys and hows cease to challenge your awareness. It’s a leap that will take your breath away, but oh my, what a thrill!

Don’t let your genius lull you into self-importance, superiority, or reasoning that concludes a solution to every mystery. You, me, education, science, religion, government, politics, etc., etc., will never know what lies beneath the experience you or anyone else has and why events unfold as they do. The human mind is fundamentally lazy and loves the safety and assurance of a “fixed position” that rarely, if ever, changes. Awareness is witness to all that is, without the slightest sense of why or how. You simply experience more when your mind is not looking to apply “what was” to “what is.”
All knowledge is a storehouse of “what was” that has nothing to do with “what is.” Clearing the warehouse opens your eyes to the real and uncouples genius from mystery. It is the only way to see. Experience the day for “real.”

You lose power to beliefs and endeavors that entangle you in human systems and causes, you and others associate with spiritual awareness. In other words, if you are struggling “for” something you are struggling “against” something, and that is an entanglement that draws you from all the virtues ascribed to spirituality, e.g., honesty, integrity, goodness, clarity, joy, love, kindness, etc.
You are not a voice or advocate for anything you scream in another’s ear. You’re just noise that has given power to the unimportant, and that distracts you from the sweetness of human connection. Anything that takes any part of you from the inner sanctity “YOU are” is the saddest of all human losses because it never has to be so. Give your power to love, and you will never lose it to meaningless entanglements.

You are not graded for living, nor are there any tests or special qualifications you must pass in order to move on to some other plane of awareness on some path to an existence that doesn’t exist. Do you see?
There is nothing you need to add to yourself to know yourself, and knowing what YOU are, outside all the things you are taught will never add up to perfection. And, yes, YOU are already perfect. You have a life; don’t let anything you or anyone else believe otherwise prevent you from living it!

Thinking is a noisy affair that creates a chaotic mind, whose constant chatter drowns out silence, the emptiness into which all that is real emerges. Do you see? Nothing you think is real; it’s conceptual, and the very act of conceptualizing reality takes you into the land of dreams, hopes, and beliefs, which only adds noise to the already unreal.
The saying, “Be still and know that I (you are) am God,” is not a roadmap detailing how you come to “know” God or even your so-called self. It is a simple petition that you cannot “think” your way to knowing what YOU already are, so why “think” about it at all? Your eyes see what they see without you or anyone else understanding how or why they do.
Silence is creation, and YOU are the Creator. Silence lets you be that. Don’t give it a single thought!

Encounters with friends, acquaintances, family, doctors, employers, teachers, leaders, etc., typically take the form of an idea that you are something you think they think you are. However, at that moment of first thought, you cease being what you are. From there, the dance of the unreal begins!
You are likely so good at the transition that you don’t even notice it happening. We all are. It’s almost as if we have a role to play in a play of our own making whose ending is scripted, well-rehearsed, and perfectly timed!
Act 2: “You are what you think” only has relevance in human affairs, and while you can’t “not” be human, you can stop “thinking” like one. The unassumed is the best role in the only play that’s real. You’re “real” when you no longer know, consciously or unconsciously, the plot. Mysteries are just more interesting anyway!

Awareness “knows” no truth. You see, it doesn’t need to. “It” already is, all that is. You, me, anyone, everyone attempting to define awareness is not the truth, but rather the tainting of it. Eyes open to truth are, simply, open.

You are entangled with all that is, regardless of its distance or time from you, negating attraction, philosophy, psychology, religion, and politics altogether. It’s not about your mind and its most grand imaginings, the goodness of your intentions, your caring heart. It’s YOU enwrapped in a universal soup that streams the infinite. YOU are the flavor of life; when you’re not “present,” it loses its taste.

The best and only version of yourself is what you are now without the thought processing that says there is some other version you should be. Thinking about what you “are not” prevents you from any possibility of being what YOU are. Version “YOU, NOW” never needs an upgrade! Send the programmers home; you’ve got this!
