The mighty Oak never looks down at the flower blooming under its branches and exclaims, “I am higher than you because of the long hard years I endured to reach this size and majesty, and all the things I now see that you can’t and never will.” No, the two, living as one, never seek to outshine the other and claim victory over life and beauty. They live quietly and in peace and love the same life that everything in the universe treasures.
Life has no distinctions because beauty only knows love. YOU are love; thus, beauty and you are always among the beautiful.

Humans go to great lengths to find things wrong with others and perhaps, even worse, find things right about themselves. It’s the dance of ego, e.g., “I am right, and you are wrong,” and everyone’s toes get stepped on in this dance. It’s as if the ego is seeking who is the most miserable among us and how each individual ego compares overall. In other words, where does my misery stack up with everyone else’s?
Don’t look for reasons to categorize misery, yours or theirs. Just dance, and if your toes get stepped on, keep dancing! The beat of living never stops, and neither should you. Fill your dance card with joy and abandon. There are no judges, and there are no winners, losers, or honorable mentions! Now, who wants to boogie?

Clarity has nothing to do with how or what you think about something. On the contrary, thinking makes clarity impossible. The present moment, before any thought, is free of any impurity (thought, belief, judgment, etc.) and is the clearest you will ever be. Adding anything to that pureness is little more than dragging the past into the present, and that is all thinking can do. Be silent, be clear.

Life is not a series of fits and starts that continue on even over endless lifetimes. Only humans create scenarios that push into the past or future, neither of which exists. Do you see? Where is “starting over” on an infinite scale? Oneness is everythingness all wrapped up in this moment. Not in a “moment” of time that turns into another moment that creates the “series of moments” you are taught to view life as. YOU are infinite, and the representation of infinity is zero, e.g., nothing. Did you get that? You are and have nothing to start or end with. Nothing is all there is, and IT isn’t.
You can never start over, nor can you move out of a non-existent past or into an equally unreal future! All that is is YOU, now, in this undefined moment, and it is from YOU that everything is. The experience of nothing is YOU BE-ing. Not before, not after, just BE-ing.

Keep your smile. It cuts through anything and puts your drama-filled mind at ease, which, contrary to popular opinion, is a problem creator, not a problem solver. Smiles are also contagious. Such a sweet, pure expression, recognizable by everyone, and always available on your face!

What is the “right” direction? We hear it often touted that a single step in the right direction accomplishes so much or makes life so much easier, but who or what decides whether your “direction” is right or wrong? Then there are the apologists who, having taken the supposed “wrong” direction, ultimately find it to be a tremendous and profound learning experience. Wouldn’t that make it the “right direction?
Life is “right,” always right, and it is also yes to whatever you do, and it never assumes anything “wrong.” You living and life-giving; that’s all this is, and you and the life you live can never be wrong. Lose all sense of “direction.” Wandering is far more exciting and fun than following some path cobbled together by nonsense. And who knows where you end up? Who cares? That’s just part of the excitement too!

The human mind loves division. Right, wrong, this, that, up, down, good, evil, heads or tails, etc. Opposition in all things, and lo, everywhere there is division, and what it boils down to is you dividing that which is indivisible. In other words, it’s not that there is division; it’s that you, by yourself, are divided. The mechanism of division is mind-made, and your mind always assumes that the makeup of its reasoning is the acceptable divisor of everything else. Beneath your mind, you are whole, undivided, and indivisible, but you can only know this when your mind is no longer busying, itself divvying everything up.
Undivided, there is nothing that YOU are not, wholly and completely!

YOU have no potential. That’s right, none at all. But you don’t need it either. The potential self you think you must become is lower than what YOU are without such thoughts. Potential comes with lists and “to-dos,” rights and wrongs, and made-up stuff stemming from your buy-in to the paradigm that says everyone is on a path to improve and learn. Climb the mountain, and you will see, it is said, but all you see is another mountain and a list of things you must do to conquer it. “I wonder if I have the ‘potential, blah, blah, blah?’”
Climb mountains, not because you must get to the top to benefit from some “potential” improvement myth. YOU are already atop the highest of them all, and not once did you ascend to get there! Don’t look down; just let go. Awareness sees nothing but beauty, and YOU are already there! That is, if you drop out of the school of “potential.”

Consciousness is what ties you to your body; that makes the body, with its whims and fancies, all-important. That is consciousness’s problem and thus the creator of myth and illusion. It is non-consciousness, make that “no” consciousness that frees you from the rules of consciousness and its hard-bound attachment to form. When you are thinking, lost in your thoughts, you are disconnected from reality. That is, you cannot “think” your way to awareness, nor will you ever take your body to it. You must be free of form, and that can only happen in the sweet peace of silence where nothing you think exists, exists. Disconnection is connection.

“What is” speaks no language, and will never be revealed by someone else, including your own mind-speak. You “get it” or you don’t. Do you see? It’s like someone telling a joke. The punchline comes, and you get it, or you don’t. Either is okay, but humans who don’t get it begin the analysis, the judgments, and sometimes even agonize over it, all of which are mind-speak entrenching deeper “not getting it.” It’s just a joke for crying out loud, and so is mind-speak!”
Like the joke you get or don’t get, life is nothing, nada, unimportant. Yet “nothing” is everything, and the “speak” of “what is” is shrouded in mystery, brimming in wonder, and it surrounds you. You get it, or you don’t, but either way, nothing prevents you from living a wonder-filled life except you. Shh… Here comes another punchline.
