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.

You are the maker of the mountain you think you must climb, not the climber of it. The view from the top is yours only when you get that what YOU are is where you are. Rest a bit and have a look. There’s nothing more beautiful than the “top” upon which you presently stand!

Love “labeled” isn’t love. It’s a script, a plan, a program, a how-to, a when-to, and a why. In other words, it is your mind dabbling with something that just is and altering it into something that can be conceptualized; it can then be toyed with, bargained with, and conditionalized. YOU are love, and love without conditions can only happen when your mind is off. That is, when the mind is away, love can play.

Only you can take responsibility for your life. That is nothing outside you, e.g., gods, universes, source, spirit, ministers, gurus, etc., can relieve you of the opportunity you have to live what you are to the fullest. Yielding to any other is a conceptual mistake and a denial of your unique unfolding.
Let go of anything that tells you to be other than what YOU are and let “what YOU are” be your only source. You know, what’s there; It whispers to you constantly. It’s time to listen!

The self you believe you are, that is the culmination of life experiences, learning, relationships, accomplishments, affiliations, heritage, even multiples of lifetimes, etc., is not your true self. That is merely painting by the numbers, and while YOU are high art, YOU are not a tapestry of things that have happened or are yet to happen.
All that is is because of YOU, not for you. All that is will always look to YOU and be grateful. The master’s hand, e.g., your hand, creates the masterpiece. Nicely done.

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!

Give way to the mystery that is the foundation of your experience. Embrace love instead, and whatever unfolds, it will carry you through. Lighten the load of all that you feel you must shoulder, especially the burdens of heavy thoughts and resentments. The less you have to think about, the less you have to fear.
Ease, always, into life with your wits, kindness, and smile. Life will smile back.
