Truth interpreted ceases to be true. The application of conjecture, which is the only thing your mind is capable of, sullies truth in innuendo and judgment. “What YOU are” reaches out in silence and offers compassion where noise and drama scream with other screamers. The quiet knows only love’s embrace and extends it to all who listen, not with ears, but hearts. Ears hear only noise; hearts know truth. Let your heart be the only listener and its silence the only words you speak.

If the side you take doesn’t include all sides, you’re on the wrong side. Love has no spoils, colors, creeds, religion, or division. In other words, the only side to love is just love.

The new-age notion of surrounding yourself with others like you or finding those who vibrate at your level is discrimination and prejudice. It is your ego’s judgment of another, in modern terms, that makes it seem okay. It’s not! You can be the caring hands, the loving voice for another who is not like you, and integrate them into your heart. Who knows, they may take you into theirs. But you can’t be the voice for everyone who is like or unlike you. That makes you nothing more than another voice screaming with all the others while the “one” you could love and embrace now is without your light (vibration) and you without theirs.
Your ego is most deceptive when the collective noise of discrimination screams the loudest. Don’t join in. There’s plenty of noise already, but there are too few of those who aren’t screaming to embrace the “ones” who need only you to love them. Loving those unlike you is a “high” vibration!

Finding what you’re looking for is counter to what spiritual awareness is because there is no definable “what” to be found. “What” always carries with it mind-based qualities that characterize something that is still a complete surprise and ever a mystery, and seeking your idea of it is comparable to herding cats. It just can’t be done! That is, you can’t plan to get something or somewhere you can’t even define, and trying to do so detracts from the life you could be experiencing otherwise. Awareness always sneaks up on you when you least expect it, but always when you are busy living without expectations. The key to awareness is fully experiencing where you are and in “what” you find yourself in. That can only happen now.
In other words, what you seek is already present in “what” is. Search no more; you’re here!

The supplication of all desire is that God, The Universe, Source, or some other defined or undefined higher power will give you what you want, but what you want is always a development of mental processes. Do you see?
Your mind seeks only “other” that lies outside what YOU know, which cannot be defined. In other words, your desires steer you away from the source of all that is, e.g., YOU. Thinking of “better” rather than “what is” removes you from reality and into the unreality of what isn’t, and even if you somehow get to “what isn’t” at a later time, “desire” for something else will soon spur you on to “other,” again, and again, and again.
Knowing YOU, beyond any mental “knowing,” frees you from what you think and sets you into the actual real that few ever experience. There is nothing that is not YOU, but you’ll never get there through thought. The saying, “desire lights the fire,” might better be said, “desire snuffs out the fire.” Know YOU, and you will never “not” know joy, peace, and happiness!

What YOU are that precedes all thought is untouchable. That is, not touched by any concept, philosophy, religion, ideas, beliefs, fantasies, heritage, etc. What you think yourself to be is the progeny of your mind and the focal point of your identity, judgments, and points of view. Your image of reality, in other words, is not only touchable but likely deeply touched by the things listed above and many others, all of which contain the fuel of anger, contempt, and insanity. No search for awareness that takes you to or through more conceptual nonsense will ever lead you to the destination you seek. It takes shedding, not searching. Do you see?
Untouchable, YOU cares nothing for what you seek because nothing you find sticks to IT. Shed instead of search. YOU already are everything, but it’s likely buried beneath a whole lot of junk you picked up while searching. Just Sayin’.

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.
