The basis of all religions, all spirituality, is to separate you from the form (consciousness) you think you are. That is, to free you from any connection that hooks you to mind and body. Your mind makes a compelling case for form and weaves itself into every aspect of life, making it challenging to “unhook” and recognize that something much more profound and mysterious is the real essence of your existence. The more you want, the more you think about getting, and the more you get, the stronger the pull into mind and body. YOU are more than any thought your mind conjures, but your mind will keep on inventing grandiose and profound form-filled scenarios to keep you, the finite, from knowing YOU, the infinite. Solution? Think less, believe less, and lo, YOU emerge.

Separation is uniquely “I” (ego) based. That is, whatever reasoning or beliefs you adhere to, whether religion, politics, nationality, gender, ethnicity, social status, education, etc., you are the sole source of separation and any discord you sense is with that which lies outside your point of view. Furthermore, those who subscribe to your separation (agree with you) do not make you “one” with them. It just feeds your ego with the security of numbers, e.g., “look at all those who feel and believe as I do. I (we) must be right.”
Your “truth,” as it is bandied about in spiritual speak, is not truth if in any way it separates you from another, regardless of any moral code you subscribe to. Oneness is love, and love is without reason of any kind. Sinner or saint is not distinguishable. Love is our core and thus surrounds us all.

What you believe separates you from what others believe, creating for you “them,” which is a denial of “we” as one. Beliefs, which, by the way, do not originate with you, are fodder for your ego that always asserts its rightness and separation from contrary beliefs. Do you see?
Those you cannot include on your side, whatever your side may be, makes you, not them, divisive. Any belief that creates “them” is faulty and the breakdown of oneness. There is only “we,” and we’re all pretty cool, regardless of what you believe!

Don’t disassociate “vibrational match” from judgment. It’s easy to blame others for your unease with someone of differing vibrations, but if you look at it, it’s judgment. Humans are masters of the crutch. That is forming excuses to justify their moods by pinning the reason on someone else’s “low vibration,” as it is referred to in new-age speak. Do you see? It’s just a crutch that turns you away from looking at you and turning you into a wisher of life instead of a live-er of it.
Stars collide with other stars, creating beautiful new cosmic formations of unparalleled beauty and wonder, and these events enhance the universe. YOU are higher than any star; YOU are the universe that holds them all. No “vibration” is a low vibration except in your mind that fails to recognize how vast YOU are. In other words, what you think is the weakest of all vibrations. Run around looking for vibrational matches, and you will experience a dull and unfulfilled life. Crash into other “stars,” and creation with all its beauty and wonder becomes your experience. It’s all up to YOU or your mind. Let it be YOU!

Truth is without memory or imagination. That is, it only exists in the present, where all that you think, believe, and hope for is but a remembrance or wish for something that is no longer real or that has never been real, and neither can be a part of “now” except as you sully the moment thinking of them.
For humans, brilliance is a mind full of knowledge, acquired over a long life of experience and learning, dreams fulfilled and unfulfilled, neatly warehoused in the mind. For Gods, truth is not sought or remembered; it is lived in the only place it can be. Right here, right now. Oh, and by the way, YOU are Gods.

Fear of the unknown is ultimately fear of losing the known. That is, your mind braces at giving up the comfort of what it thinks it knows for something it cannot define. Agreements, with what you think you know, are neat little traps that hold you to comfort, not reality. You will never “know” what you don’t know until what you know is put aside. It’s a leap into mystery from which there is no return, but there is nothing like it in all the “known” and “unknown” universe! Take a breath, close your eyes, and let go! It’ll last forever!

There is no learning process for awareness, just as there is no citing recipes for delicious dishes to a hungry child, expecting that doing so will satisfy their hunger. You must unlearn and be present to what is, without the narrative your “knowledge” wants it to compare to. Do you see? Your mind wants to add to, replace, layer on top of what’s already learned, and evolve into the latest and greatest version of awareness, expecting that, somehow, in the “education” itself, “milk and honey” flows and the “promised land” is reached.
Nothing you know, now or ever, will make you aware. You stand in “milk and honey.” Only your mind has you looking elsewhere for it! Look no more, you’re already here.

Life is without motive, and living should be too. Ego has motives that thwart the very essence of living with something perceived that must be achieved. What you are, before any thought, is stillness and tranquility ungarbled by the difficulties of change and achievement, motivated by an insatiable ego that must have in order to be. Motives driven by desire require prior knowledge and thought, while life, in its purest form, is a mystery, unabated by anything you think it is or should be. Taking a step into living is not an act of faith; it’s an act of courage requiring stepping into the unknown and the unknowable. Think about it all you want, and you still don’t know.

The best version of yourself will never be something you think or aspire to be. That would only be the made-up version of you, which isn’t you. In other words, the future holds no version of you that you can ever get to. The future doesn’t exist, and neither does the (best) version of yourself that you contrive in your mind to become. You, right now, are the only version of yourself that can and, surprisingly, does exist. And let me just say, “it doesn’t get any better! That is, you, now, are the most incredible mosaic of all that is, and if it weren’t all happening right now, it would never happen at all. You’re amazing. Why is it so hard for you, who search for better versions, to see that? Silly humans!

Dwelling on the past makes you a slave to it, and it is the worst kind of slavery in that the past does not exist. In other words, any connection to the past is a self-imposed prison, virtually impossible to escape! Your mind loves the story of its suffering and trauma and embellishes it at every opportunity, making it, seemingly, real and thus, un-overcome-able. Your identity with it is little more than your story, and yet, in all the telling, it rarely goes away. So why keep telling it?
Regardless of what you have been through in the past, is it not true that right now, in the present, you are “through” it? Living now has no history. You always get a fresh start in the present, and right NOW is your freedom!
