There is no such thing as spiritual mastery, and your pursuit of it only puts you at odds with the human experience you’re supposed to have. Too many of us hinge our lives on things happening that overwhelm our beliefs and security and shock our senses, then complain that life is too much (take the constant blather of how awful the year (current year) has been, for example).

Nothing goes “wrong” in human experience except for your idea of how it’s supposed to be, and that “idea” is the foundation of all spiritual ideology and the source of frustrating pursuits that never yield the “mastery” you seek.

Mastery of life is living this moment without conflict with what you think it should look like. In other words, don’t be at odds with what is happening or with those who think “what is happening” is what should or shouldn’t be happening. They’re as nutty as you are! Love nuts and enjoy each moment with them. Doing so will never be “mastery,” but it will be spiritual.

The things you cherish cannot be comprehended intellectually, regardless of what they are. You can string eloquent words together, forming profound and beautiful descriptions, but something else tugs on your awareness beyond those descriptions.
It isn’t easy to stay in a state of descriptionless awareness, but you can remain aware that what your mind “thinks” is unimportant folly full of made-up nonsense, all there to keep you from the truly cherished. Shamans call it “controlled folly.” Live as though everything matters, but knowing that what is not or cannot be known on the plain of human experience shakes the foundation of intellect.
Simply, with “mind” (thoughts), you have a lot. Without it, you have infinitely more.

Awareness is seeing exactly “what is” without any thoughts or explanations accompanying it. One who “sees” (is aware) “knows” instantly and is clear before any thought enters into it. In other words, any explanation of “what is” is its undoing.

You could say reverence is the doorway to “knowing” what is that otherwise is unknowable.

The motive force of all creatures, including humans, is survival. However, humans have an evolutionary nuance that allows them to make up what they consider essential to survival. Do you see?
All the stuff humans make up about human existence is also all they find wrong with it. You came here with nothing, and you will leave with nothing, and everything you uphold, believe, and gather between arrival and departure is nothing.
You have so little time to experience this miracle of life that anything you wrap yourself up in as important blinds you to its treasure. Living requires no opinion, causes, or inventory whatsoever. You know how to live. Stop listening to all the babble humans make up about how to do so! You’ve got this.

The time to let go is now—always now. To hold on to all the things “modern living” vies for adds to the pile of unimportant junk that frustrates living in general. There are few things you must do, and unless you give the green light to do them, they have no power over you.

Turn off that news or social media feed, take the scenic route to work, and slow down. Turn off your phone for an hour or six, close your laptop, pause, smile, and casually but firmly say no to that lunch invite; it’s time you could put to calmer use. And by all means, don’t fill this moment with anything the non-existent future demands. Did you get that? The future (and past) is “non-existent!” Let go and see if you don’t make it to the end of the day. I bet you do.

Ego feasts on all mind-made judgments of “good and evil” and dooms everyone because of its various distinctions between the two. Do you see? All “sides” in human experience are gourmet dining to a ravenous ego. Yes, even yours and you are fed well regardless of what variation you choose.

Stop choosing! There is a joy to be had right now, but you must stop gorging yourself on the fruits (ideas) of good and evil. Seriously, real, undefined, unencumbered happiness beyond the frenzied feast!

Ease in living comes when all your means to understand life are exhausted. In other words, you will never understand, but the release from trying will free you to witness life doing what it does and doing it despite all the reasons you and everyone else make up about it under the guise of understanding.

Life works; it just does, and you, without understanding a thing about it, “work” too if you simply live and love what is right now. You can’t learn anything if you don’t know the subject, and life offers no subjects. That’s all you need to understand.

What is it about you, me, or anyone who thinks there is something more to life than what is right now? Shallow experience is what you think about, while the only thing you can experience is what’s happening now. Do you see? Reality never carries the seeds of thoughts, contemplation of what might come later, or comparisons to what has passed. Only humans do that and, in so doing, replace “what is” with the thoughtful, dull, repetitious drone of “what isn’t.”

Lose yourself to silence and quietly watch the magic appear. Actually, it won’t appear; you’ll simply recognize what is always there but hidden behind the clutter of thoughts. You don’t need “more” in life; you need less of what you “think” it should be.

You, now, are the only point in creation. Nothing before and after exists unless you, unaware and disconnected, stir it up in your mind and sully it with your thoughts. Awareness and connection manifest all that is, and it all happens right now before a single thought enters into it. Do you see?

YOU, the beholder, are, the beheld. It is ALL, literally, YOU. YOU’re kind of a big deal, but don’t let that go to your head!
