What is will always be real. Not because of anything you think, but despite what you think. “What is” is unalterable, but you can miss out on it because of wishes and desires you foster otherwise. All that you know, dream, believe, hope, want, etc., is a detriment to the real. When your mind is clear, life is clear. Embrace, without thought, the day!

Honor your experience by accepting it as yours and without the desire to alter it in any way. Desire is the ire of reality.

Before any choice, there is an instantaneous “knowing” that precedes it. The intuitive voice speaks to us all and comes without equivocation. That is, in an instant of knowing no choice is even present until your mind puts one there, and then there is confusion, debate, analysis, and the stress of not knowing what was absolute in a previous moment. Do you see? It is rare for humans to realize that what they think is never intuitive. Thinking overrides the intuitive with pre-conditioned gobbledygook stored in a mind that must insert it into every facet of life.
Living is not something you need to think about, but until you regain your lost sensitivity to that inner voice that always speaks before the fray of mind natter, you will serve one or another (choice), and still, never “know.” Listen to “it” speak!

Look inward to that inner SELF that holds for steadiness, calm, and truth, not for a fictional, mind-made self that relieves you from you. You can live life or make one up, as most do. What YOU are doesn’t care one way or the other, but your mind does, even though it is your mind that makes up the stuff, designed to perfect its superficial creation, e.g., what you think you are.
In other words, your mind needs to get out of its own way, but that’s a tough one because it also thinks it is the knower of the way. So…, stop knowing and peer deeply into the silence that holds “what YOU are.” What you discover will surprise you, but I can’t tell you what it is because no mind, including mine, knows.

You lose so much in life because of how you rate it; we all do. Life is impervious to human gradation and moves into every channel of existence with the kind of ease and grace everyone of us should emulate. Living and judging never mix because the slightest judgment taints a lot of purity. Mystery is life, and judgment is its nemesis. You can live with one but not the other. Life never fails, nor do you or anyone else. Besides, “grading” lifework is tedious and cuts into all kinds of adventure you could be experiencing, otherwise. Go, have some fun!

The side you take is inseparable from the side not taken, e.g., heads or tails are forever bonded by the coin upon which they are forged. Only your mind separates and makes one “side” the whole, and the loss in such an exercise is wealth only “wholeness” provides. “I am right, and you are wrong” is the disease of ego and separation from the very essence of oneness and awareness. Judgment cannot happen where no opposite (side) exists. Seeing this side or that separates you from the whole, and that is a separation the “whole” can ill afford. Heads or tails? Don’t make that call!

Awareness is not awakening to something new and profound that comes through intense learning, searching, and reconciliation with past experience. That’s just programming the latest and greatest spirit-speak your mind is caught up in. Awareness is, to use the programming metaphor, “the original program.” That is what you had before you knew anything or could speak anything. Your “original programming” has been replaced, and awareness is undoing whatever the original is replaced with, e.g., everything you think, believe, or know.
You cannot know what you already are by layering the so-called “new” on top of it. You can be IT by clearing all programming. Version 1.0, e.g., YOU is perfect and always has been. Don’t go back; just BE.

What you see is always skewed by what you know, e.g., what you’ve been taught. That is not seeing; it’s an agreement with a lifetime of gathered information stored in your mind that is not what is. To see without blinders, (knowledge) placed upon us would baffle, surprise, and hopefully humble us. We literally miss out on that much! You will never know what you see if you can describe it in any way. You were taught wrong, but not to worry. Clear your mind, and you will “see” again.

We (humans) seem to be so busy wondering, speculating, pontificating why things are happening and what the takeaways relative to those happenings should be, that we miss what’s happening. Do you see?
Life is not conscious of what you think, what you dream, or believe. It quietly moves through myriad forms and vistas, offering its infinite abundance to those who “quietly” move with it. Somewhere, amidst all the noise of what isn’t YOU are happening. That is, YOU are life’s unfoldment. Nothing is more precious, sweet, infinite than YOU, NOW! Go happen!

You cannot think or learn your way to stillness, quiet, peace, and awareness; they are not formulaic. Instead, they are states independent of mind-based activity. Do you see? Even thinking that you must quiet your mind creates the noise of process, discipline, and often, the judgment of self.
There are vast spaces between this thought and the next one, this word followed by another, etc., and those spaces contain a field, so still that awareness, simply, surrounds you. You’re there more than you think, and that’s the rub. You can’t quantify how often because that requires thinking. So what to do?
I can’t tell you; that would be formulaic. Anything I suggest will take you from it. YOU, however, already know.
