You came to the forest, but you find that you never left the heart of the forest, and your heart shares existence. None of it is real, and none of it is imagined. Only the words play tricks in the mind. Existence is not explored from a distance. You exist. So does the forest. Existence made existence, for no reason. And yet, nothing is more important now. You don’t know why. Things are as they are. You never knew, and you will never know. As long as you ask the question, you invent the answers. There are questions of existence, existential questions that ask themselves. Not with words, but with a demand to watch and learn. The nature of things. That is real. You can see that this is real. If you watch, you can see.
For most people, money is everything. If they have money, to the extent they can access it, they believe they can fulfill all their desires and essentially be happy. And that’s a very common belief. Why would you care to know, when you can drink not knowing, without end, and quench the thirst of knowledge?
The guidance, ‘do what makes you happy’, is timelessly correct. But there needs to be honesty in the demand for happiness. Otherwise, anything can be associated with happiness—anything artificial, like money or pleasure. That which makes you happy, makes you free. But how would you know what freedom is? Start, and then move, in freedom. Happiness is there to guide you. Not satisfaction. Happiness. Anonymous happiness. Unrecognized happiness. You cannot be wrong about it. It doesn’t have an address. When you touch not knowing, you are happy. And you are free. Can you move in this direction? For no reason at all.
How can the now, which is eternal, make a mistake? The now is the expression of itself. Perfection beyond measure. The absolute nature of nature. What is grace? Grace that you need to wait for is not grace—it’s a curse. Grace is real. Grace is the now, as it is, whether you see it or not. Grace is given to itself, by existence, without the action of will. And you stand in its way because you want to know what grace is, how to be worthy of it, and when it will arrive.
There is only grace. And mankind rejects grace, choosing identity and knowledge every time, all the time.
