Life is a wonderful friend. It wastes neither time nor energy. It doesn’t wait for you to finally understand; instead, it continuously creates opportunities and scenarios to remind you of who you truly are. The more you resist this inner knowledge, however, the more uncomfortable your life circumstances may seem.
Yet everything is designed simply to offer you a new clue, to help you unravel life’s mystery. You don’t realize that it’s all a game and instead take it quite seriously. You’ve forgotten that you’re on the trail of a puzzle, the solution of which is the very first thing you experienced. But you can’t put it into words. So, you search. But in truth, you already know.
And suddenly, or gradually, you become aware that you know. It feels like a hunch, sometimes like belief, then doubt, and beyond that, a quiet understanding. From this silence, a space opens, embracing and holding everything. It is the nectar of life, a substance without form, from which everything is created—every encounter, every tender love, every painful separation, every pain and every joy, every breath, every passing.
And suddenly you see clearly. This is it. No more doubt. You are still who you are in the world; nothing has changed. And yet everything is different. No more drama. There are still feelings, emotions, thoughts, and visions of the future, but all is now embraced by a quiet knowing that there has never been a puzzle to solve, nothing to lose, and nothing to gain. Only now.
