Nothing matters much except self-honesty! The world is made up of artificial things manufactured to make us want them. But only self-honesty matters. This mean you must curate your life ruthlessly.

Awakening is about learning about your true nature and yet the false nature thrives on lies, deception and pretense, so we must investigate those as well.

There is no such thing as an enlightened human being, only the wish to be one. No human being can ever know the nature of God; he or she can only guess at it.

When earthquakes crush thousands of people, where is God? Is He safely hidden in the sky?

Life goes on despite millennia of cruelty to both humans and animals.

Where is God when it hurts, as someone’s book title asks? He is said to be in all things, but no microscope has ever been able to find him in materiality.

Let’s change the subject back to self-honesty. We all know we hurt constantly and that no literal god has ever come to save us. Can we be honest about that?

Evolution seems to be true, but it is a scientific claim having nothing to do with God.

So we return to self-honesty. Are we capable of it? Only at times.

We can aspire to it, but that does not mean we have mastered it.

Human law cannot protect us and religious laws easily turn into work-arounds.

We are all in a cosmic jam and only self-honesty can save us from ourselves, for we are all one.

Try it; you might like it. It is a form of awakening from the dream.
