Absolutely impossible except perhaps in the beautiful creation of mind

I either believe in freedom or I do not, and this includes your freedom to be irrational. 
In fact, if I believe in freedom as a value, I champion your right to be irrational. 
This doesn't mean I have to admire it.

Life is a big addition and subtraction problem pages and pages long that equals zero.

There is no way to make a mistake in this world. 
What happens, happens...obviously. 

The world is never lying to you. 
It is always telling the truth as it is always just what it is.
It's this, obviously.

Nothing is missing. It's impossible. 
The universe is never lying to you. Here it all is, just like this. 
When I stop desiring more and better, I am left with heaven.

All the wise words in the world fall apart in the face of actual life. 
How beautiful living isn't dependent on anything that is said about it. 
How amazing we are an experience and not a thought.

Problems or solutions. 
That's all there is to focus on here. 
When I focus on problems, there aren't any solutions. 
When I focus on solutions, there aren't any problems.

It is impossible for me to crawl into your mind and make you believe your thoughts.

Absolutely impossible.

An attempt at depth is not depth, stay shallow and tell me what you really think.

You have influenced your life. You just choose to use me, him, her, them they as a stimulus.....

"We dance around in a ring and suppose, the Secret sits in the middle and knows."

There is no one doing Living.
There is no one here.
Living is the only thing there is. It is this and it isn't happening to anyone separate from it. The idea of there being a separate person is a dream happening to no one.
Everything/Nothing is all there is.

Nothing is separate from reading this.
No one is reading.
Reading is happening. 
No one is doing anything. 
It is all being done, and nothing is happening.
The "I" thought is a dream the Universe is having.

Frustration happens.
It appears it happens TO some separate individual, separate from the tides or the melting point or even the frustration,
i.e. "This 'I' has this 'frustration' about this 'situation', but this is just a dream the Universe is having.
"This has This about This."
This is all there is.

Worrying about the chicken soup happens. 
Wanting to be liked happens. 
Caring happens. 
Ripping a scab off the old wound happens. 
Splashing cold water in the eye happens. 
Laughing at thought happens. 
Everything happens to no one. 
Miracle!

Clear sight happens to no one. 
Unclear sight happens to no one. 
There is no mistake in the Universe because there is only the Universe. 
There is a dream of This and That. 
Nothing wakes up to This. 
Amazing.

The Universe laughs and Nothing hears it.

Pretending to have answers is standard content in what THIS is; In the absence of any doers, that's comedy in THIS fantasy called "reality.

When you are young, it is tempting to think that you have all the answers.

Then you grow, and you suffer, and bit by bit, life chisels away at your defence mechanisms, and your certainties, and you start to doubt everything you once were sure of. 

Faced with the impermanence of things, you may even reach a point of total disillusionment - with yourself, with the world, with your belief systems, with your relationships, with your career, with everything you once took for granted.

This disillusionment, this breaking down of illusions, can lead either to a lifetime of depression, fear and a bitter shutting-off from life, or - when listened to - it can become a portal to liberation, to the letting go of the false, and the discovery of the truth of who we really are.

I love it when people come to me in "crisis", totally disillusioned with their lives. I always see it as a new beginning for them, an invitation to a life beyond illusions, to a life of deep rest and true connection. 

I meet them exactly where they are.

The word "crisis" does not actually mean "disaster", but "turning point". 


Let us turn towards disillusionment, and hear its deeper call.

The Who-by What?

The personality is a momentum, like the body.

I can enjoy the quips and quibbles of how I happen to be without taking it personally.

To do so is the beginning and the end of self-love.


As one grows daily it takes time to catch up. 

People tend to be "creatures of habit" which is why our own actions can surprise us at times. 

Loving ourselves through these moments of unpredictability is beautiful, no matter how embarrassing it may feel. 

To laugh, love, and not being afraid to apologize is OK, instead of feeling uncomfortable or awkward, give yourself a break. 

It's all good.

All actions are judged by the motives that cause them. Search your heart and make sure your intentions are honourable, and then you can have confidence in your actions.

It’s so simple when you put it that way...and yet...and yet!!!

We are the source of happiness, contentment, bliss, and euphoria.

When we go looking for joy "Out There" in some person, object, or situation, we immediately deny the truth of already having it.

We are always the joy we are seeking.

We are the peace we want.

When we stop looking for it, we return to the only place it could ever be found...right here, right now, as this one-of-kind human being.

The "and yet" is where the juice is.

The beauty is we get to keep learning the same lessons over and over until we actually see there is no solution anywhere in this world.

Then we are left with the last place it could be...right here, as this simple one we are.
And be happy, just to be.... yes...simply happy to be.

When you make something beautiful, it stays with you even after it is gone.


If you find yourself in a negative situation with someone in your life, take a few minutes each day to feel love within your heart for that person, and then send it out into the Universe. 
Just doing this one thing helps to remove any resentment, anger, or negativity you might have towards that person.

Remember that feeling resentment, anger, or any negative emotion attracts it back to you, and feeling love attracts love back to you. 
What you are feeling for another, you are bringing to you.

As you map out your journey to success, there will be areas you are unfamiliar with. 

Persevere - you will be rewarded with awareness. Once you reach a higher level of awareness, you don't go back.

The body knows exactly what it needs.

A child runs when it wants to,
sings  when it wants to,
sleeps  when it wants to, and
never  thinks it SHOULD eat broccoli when it doesn't naturally want to.

On the other side of "I am doing this," is an expression unfolding as naturally as a bird wing, a sandstorm or a chicken sandwich.

No one is doing any of this because nothing is here other than Living.

Learning to listen has less to do with listening and a lot more to do with trusting what is heard. 

The question is what is the difference between noise we ignore and information we accept? 
Where is that line and how do we know when we reach it? 

Self-acceleration is ridiculous or it's impossible ugh


There is no such thing as teaching. 

Talking happens, 
listening happens, and 
agreeing or disagreeing happens. 

To think anyone can get into a mind and MAKE it think anything is to ignore physiological facts. 

How wonderful the world is full of students who can only teach themselves.

Nothing is happening. 
It appears something is, but it is just an appearance. 

Nothing is here separate from everything, including these words. 

Nothing! 

Take nothing, apply it to nothing, and what appears to be something disappears, and nothing is left. 

It's already all there is. 

The appearance is a dream the universe is having. There is nothing separate from the Universe. There is only God, and this is it, obviously. A chicken sandwich is eternal happiness.

Q: How do you deal with disliking someone ???

Possibility.....

No one can make me focus on the person I don't like, right? 

I have to do that. 
I have to take my mental energy and spotlight them as something that is wrong with reality. 
I could do anything else I can think of and this is what I think of to do. 

Now, let's say I catch myself doing this. 
I judge someone and then I judge me for judging them. 
I get some version of, "Oh, here I am judging something I can't control for being out of my control. Well, that's stupid of me. I must be a deep shit or something." 

However, the joke is I am also out of control and just as in need of my approval as anyone I could try to lend it to. 
Leans aside and whispers, 
"Turns out everyone already has there own . When it comes to loving me, I do the loving part and me does the me part."

I sit here and the entire universe is As Is. 

It's just the way it is. 
This is it.

If I dislike something, I don't give it any energy. 

I dislike the idea of murdering someone so I don't give it any attention. 
I dislike the idea of raping someone so I don't give it any attention. 
I dislike the idea of lying to myself so I don't give it any attention. 

I am learning here. 
I am totally alive as the thing that either dies or cannot die. 
Either way, it appears here As Is.

I walk away from people I no longer want to hear from for whatever reason I decide. I don't have to justify that to anyone and I don't hate those people.

 I just don't want to encounter those kind of thoughts. I can cradle them in the bosom of my heart and know they are loved and also walk away from them when they appear. 

I am one of the things that is out of control. 
Liking and disliking are on autopilot.

When I just follow the flow, rather than jam up the works with 
"This shouldn't be this way," 
then I say 
"yes" and "no" naturally, 
without shame or fear that I am going to disappoint other. 
Other doesn't need me. I need me. I am the one here living this love.

Accepting the way things are does not mean forcing myself in any way. 

It means I flow following the felt sense of self-respect. 
It is that living feeling I have heard some people call, "suffering and love." 
It's a feeling though. No amount of description can alter it. 
It is this thing, this completely capable universe happening on the fly.

This is that flow. 

WET is the only option. 
It's just whether or not I am open to losing the towel of resistance. The pain of resisting the flow of reality costs only everything I could be. 
Acceptance is no longer blaming no one for no thing. 
My life is not personal and my only hope for peace is to  this, As Is.



I wrote this a few months ago, I thought I'll share it tonight.

There is no champion of existence; only entertainment. I can't win a contest without human beings and I can't win being alive no matter what I try to do. I got the medal in my hand.
I already one.
I won when I squeezed through that birth canal and entered LIFE. What you do thereafter is icing on the soul cake. *__*
