So essentially the life you THINK you know is just a thought. Your inner mystic doesn\u2019t have to think to know life.<\/p>\n<p>Life is deeply feminine in nature, but the very action of it is masculine. \u00a0You must respect both in order to trust it. \u00a0If you fail to respect either one or both you will find yourself thinking, the world worships thinking, and thoughts. \u00a0You will not find the whole in that process. \u00a0You can not fake love, gratitude, respect, they must be discovered here. \u00a0It is easy to blame or complain. Those are signs of disempowerment within the whole.<\/p>\n<p>The whole is discovered by listening, feeling, and observing, all which have nothing to do with thinking. \u00a0It is laughable to hear that someone has it all figured out, enlightenment is not some magical experience or fantasy or self indulgence. It is the discovery in light now. To trust that knowing presence which is, the knower is not the thinker and the thinker is not the knower. \u00a0To be with this now and allow it to unfold and guide you to your deeper you. \u00a0You are endless, limitless, and boundless, so is this universe. So this ALL NESS which you create words for is constantly growing and expanding as YOU. \u00a0So truly you exist in joy, in love, in life, in light, and in play. \u00a0Your very essence is mother\/father or masculine\/feminine. \u00a0You must learn to respect them. Respect the great Mother earth and Father sky they are one and you are their oneness. Oneness is childlike, to discover that is amazing. Like an infant trusting its parent or parents. \u00a0That is great love and with great love comes responsibility to it. Please lets be responsible for Mother earth and respect her again.<\/p>\n<p>GOOD LIFE<\/p>\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"OneRepublic - Good Life (Official Music Video)\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/jZhQOvvV45w?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/body><\/html>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A mystic is simply one who is connected to the whole.
