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.

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.”

“Why callest thou me good,” said Jesus to his disciples. Even the “good” you attribute to your nature or the nature of others is an identity only humans formulate. Do you see? No one is good, and no one is bad. Identifying with any trait, attribute, characteristic, etc., that makes you unique only keeps you from knowing anything else that makes all of humanity the immense spectacle it is. And it is a spectacle whose colors reach into eternity!
Unless you see without seeing that “good” is different from what you identify as bad, your experience is destined to be shallow, full of division and judgment, and, effectively, unreal. Who does that? Sadly, we all do. Give up all your identifications, and you will discover “humanity.” It won’t be good or bad, but it will be spectacular.

Your mind is a traveler; only its travels are to the unreal. Forward, backward, and all points in between except for the only “point” that matters. Do you know what it is?
Seriously, when does anything real actually happen? Why would you want to be anywhere else than here now? Let the day live YOU, and keep it real!

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!

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.

The desire to understand is, in itself, an obstacle to understanding. It wraps things up in descriptions, rules, expectations, and processes that become the focus of fulfillment, all of which can never be because wants and wishes live in the future, which does not exist.
You will never understand as long as you focus on understanding. Life will confound every desire you have with present-moment reality and keep you ever so, the more you try to replace it with something else you believe is better.
What is is incomprehensible, but it is real. What YOU are gets it because IT, too, cannot be understood. IT can be, however, experienced in the quiet acceptance of present reality. Nothing is more exhilarating!

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?

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.
