Let go of the narrative that this has been a stressful year. You’re here now, and it is clean, pure, and unsullied by anything you don’t think about. Every moment you live with awareness is unprecedented beyond anything you compare it to from the past or make up about the future.

There are wonders to experience in the most routine and imposing human activities if you detach from those activities and any collective narrative that espouses them. “Know thyself,” and all that’s left is love and mindless abandon that allows the world to show itself in ways you, otherwise, could not fathom. It’s an incredible day; “let go” and enjoy it.

Everything you have learned, know, believe, hope, dream, accomplish, successes, failures, etc., are barriers to what YOU are. You can’t “know” the unknowable, nor can you travel somewhere to find it or go through great suffering to pay for it. What YOU are precedes the observer; thus, it is unobservable.

YOU are the infinite out of which all mystery forms, and not a single thing you do as a human adds to It. Everything in human experience is trivial next to a flight into the unknown. Forgetting all you think makes you what you are offers a glimpse into the eternal and silences all desire to learn and grow.
Let “living” (without mind blather) take over your doing and getting. It’s less stressful and a whole lot more fun!

Awareness comes not in the “opening” of your mind. It comes in the closing of it. Your mind loves its platform, knowledge, and ground rules. Life knows none of these things, so it knows no bounds. Neither do you when you are silent and free from what your mind loves.

Being present has nothing to do with what is happening now and focusing on specific things in your experience. It is knowing “what YOU are” at the moment regardless of any particular happening and allowing it without judgment or commentary. YOU are the eye of the hurricane, e.g., the calm amidst the storm.
Ultimately, YOU are “happening” to all that is happening, and your presence quietly graces the infinite, which is now. Amazing!

What most call “newness” typically includes the old descriptions into which anything “new” must somehow fit. Do you see? Humans fancy what they know, even though it stands in the way of what is real and “new.” When you act “because” (whatever your reason), you prevent the beauty of new reflection and undefined awareness from entering reality and, likely, do so under the guise that your old descriptions offer some safety and security. It’s being stuck in words, concepts, and definitions.
Live each moment without your priorly formed descriptions of them. “Newness” is all there ever is, but you will only experience it when you are cleared of all you “know.” In other words, what you know keeps you from knowing! Clear your mind, and your experience is “new.”

It is the nature of Reasonableness; thus, most humans to turn the unfamiliar into the familiar. In other words, we love the safety of familiarity, even if it is wrong, which it typically is. Every moment is a dance with the infinite, and the infinite is a complete mystery even to itself. Your mind is constantly comparing “what was” to the puzzle before you “now” and translating it into something that just isn’t. Reasonableness makes infinity look like anything but “what is,” and that is a tragic loss of this moment’s preciousness.

Throw caution to the wind, be unreasonable, and life unfolds without your resistance; its gift to you will always be a surprise.

Roughly a quarter to one-third of human existence is nothingness, e.g., sleep. You close your eyes, and time ceases, “you” are without any conscious awareness, problems vanish, and then, just like that, you awaken, and “you” appear out of nowhere, and “what was” piles back on to your suddenly realized self.
Where did “you” go when you fell asleep? What are “you” when your body sleeps and consciousness has disappeared? Is this your state before you appeared on Earth? If you can say you don’t know. If you know, you can’t say.
Still, it seems the most incredible peace offered by awareness lies in being completely unaware. Who knows? But thank goodness for those periodic spells of unconsciousness.

Humans give away too much power to the confusion generated by their minds that seek “reasons and whys” where none exist. They even buy into the added confusion sown by others doing the same thing.
The majority of thinking, yours and theirs (mine too), is repetition and a drone playing on and on without any allowance for something new and real that lies beyond the chatter. It’s a wonder we even call it thinking and perhaps another reason not to give credence to what others “think” of you, me, us, or anything else. Most of our so-called thinking isn’t thinking! Do you see?
The only thought worth having is “no thought.” It starts in exquisite silence, and if allowed to remain so without running through a gauntlet of mind-based repetition, awareness pops out. Now, that might be something to (not) think about.

What you experience has nothing to do with what you think or believe it to be, nor does it contain any whys or wherefores. You see, humans have an uncanny ability to tack on to “what is” what isn’t and glom onto their assessments as if they could not be anything but real. They’re not. Experience’s “realness” lies only in what you “don’t” think it is.
Nothing you experience is orchestrated, planned, predestined, or set before you to learn cosmic lessons; therefore, everything happens without meaning. You navigate experience with noise and make-believe or with silent wonder and surprise.
It’s more exciting and far less complicated when you experience “experience” without sideshow (mind-based) commentary, analysis, and critique. Of course, you’ll never know until you don’t know. You can’t make it a happy day based on anything you think will make it so, but you can certainly be happy.

Keep your peace. Nothing in heaven or Earth can take it from you except you giving way to the shouting otherwise. That is, listening to another voice that knows it not. Stop listening, start smiling, and extend your love to anyone struggling to hear, e.g., everyone. The path to peace foregoes your mind and travels only your heart. Start there.
