Life is a hamster wheel. Each is hanging onto dear life. Put a foot wrong and I am six feet under. Life is precarious, perilous, precious - an astonishing miracle that I am breathing air another day. Amid this, I do have to survive. Most think that is all life is about. Surviving and passing the torch to the up and coming generation. When I self-realize, I see that here is a meaningless detour of infinity. Here matters not. Life itself matters. But this isn't life. This is taking a nap from life to explore some random imagination. As the absolute I could not gaze on myself like I can now. All around is my reflection. Now I can look at myself in the mirror for a while. There is no urgency any more, no compulsion, no agenda. After realization I shine light but it's no big deal where it goes or who if any see it. My nap is near over. I'll eat a nice banquet when I open my eyes. Life is good. As always.

I feel tremendous compassion for YOU. You are a good egg; I see your journal, your doubt, your struggle. You are in the dark like I was in the dark. Grace turned on the light. Now it's my nature to shine light. You are part of me and I can't be myself without you. I heal you in God's name. You don't have to accept for I heal your mind not your body. Whenever you think of me, the light can be seen and you can join me forever. It is only a matter of time. You can't stay in hell forever. Only love is real. I love you dear man.

God is happy with the world but suffering is my choice. I desire to take God's role and rule the world; as a consequence I invite suffering. I have perfect free will but God says please, why you want to hurt yourself? Choose the happy world and the happy life instead.

God is clueless about fear, anger, guilt. I myself am spoiling the luminous view. But just as easily I can choose otherwise. No need to hide or run. God is patient and kind while I toil aimlessly.

Good maybe, God not even close. No matter how fab all this is, it pales into insignificance compared to a glimpse of God. Don't settle for tacky trinkets. God is the only treasure worth living for.

Yes. Indeed everything is thought. The thinks begets the things. Most thoughts are seemingly nothing to do with me - save one. Accepting or resisting. If I accept I expand into what is. If I resist I seemingly contract and apparently suffer. Accepting is aligning with the absolute. It proclaims, God's Will be done.

I say there is just two actionable thoughts: acceptance and resistance. And you choose according to your state.

Like I say, it is a shift or an awakening from the apparent world to the actual world. It boils down to, what you are and what is here now. What you see with your eyes / in the mirror is a passing appearance and the world is / you are not that. This is the work. Meditation is a good practice. From there you abide in and align with the real you.

Anything has two meanings. What I give and what I get. What I give is what books tell me. What I get is when I let the thing itself reveal its meaning. Meditation is the method for getting.

Self deception is a preference for being spared the truth. Don't foist truth on me. I have truth already and it is is working for me. Don't speak the t-word in my presence. I am good thanks. Leave me be in this lovely little bubble. Leo stated the truth on his blog today concerning what is philosophy. Almost all don't want to entertain it. Allow me to wallow in self-deception. I have wife and kids to feed and I don't have the bandwidth for dream-smashing philosophy thanks.

Desire and lack are inherent to all in the world; they are inescapable. Accept all that you desire as normal and natural. At the same time accept that you are the dreamer not the dreamed. Your character can do all it wishes and you are unaffected. Keep reminding yourself this until it is the default. This is the awakened state. Now you can do anything and enjoy it yet not be attached. Whether you do it or do not do it, all is perfectly fine. You are beyond all this.

These all are real since there is one mind. Yet they can easily become distractions in making one seem special. That can keep one shackled in illusion. Illusion isn't life's purpose. Might be okay as a post-awakening play-thing especially if it might help someone else. A nice to have not have to have.

To experience gain or to experience loss is the same. One gains, another loses. One day is gain, another day is loss. The way to gain is to give. To give is to receive. The world cannot make you happy. Yet you can make the world happy. Give. Then your store-house increases and you are made happy. Each person and each moment is you. To give all is to gain all for you do everything to yourself.

The absolute implies no choice. There is one thing, one way, what is. Only the relative admits choice. To mess with the perfection since it knows better than best.
