Reality isn’t conscious. That would imply a conscious subject aware of an object. Reality is conscious-ness. There is no second. Experientially we find the subject has no object other than itself. We can find no point of separation between so-called subject and object. The universal subjective. The Self knowing Itself. Descriptions, descriptions. These are just…
It’s all just happening. Identification happens. Ignorance happens. Liberation happens. At the same time they’re all just appearances. Modulations of the wholeness. Exactly as they should be, by virtue of the fact that they ARE. Only they’re also not. Try to find ignorance or delusion or objects or concepts. Try to locate identification. There’s only…
Enlightened or not enlightened, it’s the liberation that counts not some notion of attainment. Is enlightenment about knowing something? Or is it what’s left when the knowing is gone? I wrote once that enlightenment isn’t anything, but delusion is. It’s a matter of perspective. Where do you stand? And just because the majority view of…
Live life as it comes Don’t hold out for the promise of tomorrow This is the gift we’ve been given This moment As it is Is the fullness of Grace So don’t be ungrateful And don’t miss the magic of now This is it

You go where you go, do what you do. It happens, life happens. We’re moved by an unseen intelligence. A deep stirring of the ocean of…
We’re all doing our best at every turn. We’re all the same in this, and however broken or messy we may be, we’re fundamentally oriented to truth and love in the end. The gravity of our essential being and goodness is always drawing us home. And I know this is challenging to our understanding when…
I don’t really mind what happens. I could pop off today with no regrets and nothing left undone. I’ll leave in a puff of love. Poof! This is all the weather. The turning of the kaleidoscope. I’m here for it all, in love. When you love it all, every moment is it’s own reward. There’s…
Let it in, let it all in. Let in your regret. All the feelings around that, let them in. All the shoulds and shouldn’ts about it, let them in. All the shame and the doubt, let it all in. The discomfort, let it in. Your reactions, the plans and strategies, let it in. Let it…
