“How does this serve me?” Have you ever asked the question? “This,” whatever “it” happens to be, is your mind asking why life happens to you and how it happening benefits you. Underneath all questioning, what YOU are is the only real question worth having an answer to. Do you see?
Life doesn’t ask questions because YOU are the only question and its subsequent answer. In other words, life lives YOU, not for you. YOU are the infinite, out of which all that is finite proceeds, and life, however it manifests, is just passing through, YOU. Wave it on and smile as it passes. YOU are all it’s got, and it loves you for it.

Encounters with friends, acquaintances, family, doctors, employers, teachers, leaders, etc., typically take the form of an idea that you are something you think they think you are. However, at that moment of first thought, you cease being what you are. From there, the dance of the unreal begins!
You are likely so good at the transition that you don’t even notice it happening. We all are. It’s almost as if we have a role to play in a play of our own making whose ending is scripted, well-rehearsed, and perfectly timed!
Act 2: “You are what you think” only has relevance in human affairs, and while you can’t “not” be human, you can stop “thinking” like one. The unassumed is the best role in the only play that’s real. You’re “real” when you no longer know, consciously or unconsciously, the plot. Mysteries are just more interesting anyway!

As long as you have “reasons” to remember, you cannot forgive. Life is an incomprehensible, irrevocable mystery, perfectly formed and flawlessly executed. It is without memory or consequence, and the only glimmer you will ever have of its nature is to forgive all you have strapped to its performance. That is, remember nothing and no one you hold to account.
What you cannot forgive makes you unforgivable, but life lives you regardless. It’s just more enjoyable when your reasons for misery no longer exist. You did what? I don’t remember!

Perception, coupled with language, is dreams forged in the unreal, the non-existent. Un-coupled with language, perception stops time but lasts forever. Suspend narratives and see.

You gain nothing in this life, believing you existed in another and will exist in yet another after this one. If all of you is not in play, here and now, you’re not “here,” and you’re not “now.” You already know this. You are missed when you’re somewhere else. Fantastic day, right where YOU are!

It is a fallacy to assume you “see people as they are.” At best, you only see what you think, which is always wrong. What is not a fallacy is that what you think of others is the small, constant leak of your power and never-ending connection to the unreal. In other words, you cannot know “what YOU are” if you think you possess the mental tools to know someone else.
Life moves without reason or opinion, and its power is vast enough for all that is, whether you get it or not. However, it will elude you entirely if you think you actually “get it.” Stopping your leakage means containing the thought that you have the unique ability to see the leaks in others. All that leakage—what a mess! Do some cleanup on yourself.

The cost of awareness is your certainty, knowledge, beliefs, hopes, dreams, etc., which is far too high for most to pay. After all, illusion provides some semblance of safety, comfort, and security, so the “search” for something else is a search for “more” of the same, e.g., no search at all. It’s no different than paying a therapist to make you crazier.
If your so-called “search” does not upset every sensibility you possess, every single thing you think you know, you’re skipping down a road, “adding to” your illusion. Reality is unfixed, ambiguous, and upside down from anything you think it should be, and its only promise is that life, in all its forms, is mysterious, dangerous, unsafe, but wondrous in every way. In simple terms, “less (of all you think) is (really) more.”

The best and only version of yourself is what you are now without the thought processing that says there is some other version you should be. Thinking about what you “are not” prevents you from any possibility of being what YOU are. Version “YOU, NOW” never needs an upgrade! Send the programmers home; you’ve got this!

No one can teach the most important thing you can learn in this life. What is the most important thing you can learn, you ask? You must find it yourself. I can tell you, however, no one ever discovered it by searching for it. At the heart of it all is your heart. Learning starts there and finishes there.

Truth gets swept into the unimportant and the unnecessary, and you hold the broom that so masterfully does the sweeping. The clear view is not beholden to thought; the only thing needing sweeping is what you believe. Clear your mind, and the house is without the need for sweeping.
