A leads to B, C, D, etc., the causal world we are told to live in and accept. However, such a world is also the basis for “I am not responsible for my life.” In other words, someone or something pressing on me caused it to happen, and “I” therefore need not accept what happens as something I willingly accept as the experience I am seeking. WRONG! A, B, C, and D all exist simultaneously with “you” in realms you cannot begin to comprehend in human form, making you the non-caused effect of all that is. Do you see? A B, C, and D do not exist before your experience of yourself, so nothing “presses” on you that isn’t already YOU.
Lose the thinking and vocabulary of “to me,” e.g., “why, is this happening to me,” or “this shouldn’t be happening to me, etc., etc.” In time, you will know that all that happens is YOU, being you in a non-causal experience. The “effects” of which are nothing but YOU, albeit incredible!

You cannot know or explain the human condition (no one can) until you know your own, and you will never know your own. The only life to-do is your life, and it is in no way, shape, or form applicable to anyone other than you, and it is a twenty-four-seven affair that never takes a break. Get busy; you are all there is, but there is plenty of “you” to-do!

The awareness most seek begins amidst a nightmare created in the mind and well-articulated in speech. In other words, your judgment of how horrible things are is not the place to start anything, let alone spiritual awareness. Your mind will always remind you of the difficult position from which your search began, and that will be the anchor keeping you from what it is you think you must find.
You must awaken within the nightmare you have determined exists and “get” that what you think is real is only because you think it. The awakening that keeps you separate is a continuation of an already predetermined nightmare you believe is what separates you from it. In other words, sweet dreams and nightmares are not real. YOU are!

The present IS the destination. There is nothing before or beyond YOU now, as is.

The “search” for most is a return to the safety and security of the mythological garden where all wants are fulfilled, and mother, father, and angels stand guard to protect you. In other words, “safety is the search, and it never ends because “what YOU are” never appears in such a garden. You will never find “what YOU are” but among the thorns and thistles. Do you see? Adam and Eve were not cast out of the garden, they were cast into it. Let go of your “garden (idyllic) home” and something unfathomable will appear, e.g., YOU.

All your thoughts about why something happened or how it affected you never really satisfy the ego, nor will understanding why things happen as they do, do nothing to alter the experience. Embracing life is accepting what is without a judgment or reason for it. It’s a leap into the unknowable. Hold on to nothing, and YOU are everything.

Happiness is not what we do, places we go, things we learn, beliefs, acclaim, friendships, etc. The truly happy are those who have paid no price for it. Happiness is our essence, not some formula devised to achieve it, and it hides in the most elusive place known to humans. That is in our thoughts of where we think it should be. Stop the thoughts; happiness is YOU right now!

Beyond any idea of a purpose, you possess something infinitely more profound and beautiful. It’s called “life,” and all it ever asks of you (or anyone) is to live it regardless of your place in it. Do you understand?
Where you are is not where you are supposed to be. Where you are “IS” because YOU are, and no one in all eternity will ever experience life as you do NOW. Nothing exists without YOUR experience of it; nothing.

Loving “you” is the best of you. No one does “you” better than you, so why would you relinquish “you” to the dream of being a better you? Or worse, being someone else. There are no failures in life. Even when you are fixated on being something other than “you.”
