Look at that! And that! And all that!

We know all about that! And that too!

But that what we think about that is true?

What if what that means is only a story scenario that we’re just making up?

Faking everything we think at high-speed on the fly? Seriously?

Everyone always choosing what we want all of that to mean- it’s how we stay busy! So fun! Such a great way of knowing all about it all!

But made up? No way we say!

Hey man, this is really real!

Can’t you see? Here let me tell you all about how everything is!

But again, what if it’s not?!

What if what everything means is automatically and thoughtlessly and unnecessarily just accepted whenever and whatever somebody and even everybody says it means?

This happens all the time.

What we think “reality” is, is part of an ongoing made up, inaccurately-described, and continually misunderstood storyline.

It’s a collaborative cluster, only partially seen by everyone and ourselves so that the storyline we’re into is just so excellently interesting and spellbinding in its authenticity that we forgot that we’re each and every one, the playtime director of our own play! No way? Yes, way!!

As a simple example, how did you come to believe that, “that’s an oak tree.”?? Where did you get that “info”?

Somewhere else!

And the whole universe of every, every, thing’s meaning is what we got from playing along with everyone’s game and our own.

But seemingly, it all makes so, so much sense, the way we have it all laid out!

What a rock solid and brilliant dramatization!

Staying within the old lines over and over, so that we don’t have to worry about any pesky gaps in our screenplay?

Really? We all do it, and yet we don’t see ourselves as the driver in this.

What is it about not looking at our looking? Could we be missing something?- big?

Good to ask this, and yet because we always autoload our perceptions into our trusty pack of explanations, we miss the optional step of “what is this really?” that Reality holds out for us to paint with.

Where am I? Oh yeah we know. Right?

And yet right within this where, and yet right within this here, and yet right within this there and within all of these can actually be found a trove of undiscovered beautiful dimension.

We gotta want it. But we gotta let go of the automatic horror movie we direct- Can I let it go?

We gotta get what a load of garbage we’ve been satisfied with, instead of what’s really up. What if what’s really up is glorious? Experiential beauty?

What’s that like? Ask yourself.

Here’s where we always come from: Who is that! Oh, I know!

Do you? Have you ever not known something instead? It is a choice.

Why would we not want to know something?

Choosing to not know gives you a new space to land on.

Take a walk around the block- What if that someone you see is really someone way more?

What if the reality answer would contain profound meaning- more than you ever carelessly thought?

What if you allowed for a new take to take hold for a minute?

What if a space opened up in your mind?

What if what everything means is not an ongoing group-drama of the good, bad and ugly?

What if what everything means is not a fight to the death, but a chance to live beauty in real time and not be separated from every, every, thing?

We’re so used to avoiding any challenge to our made up scenarios that we miss the actual beauty of the glimpses of what’s real.

Would you be okay with more of these expansive newly-had vistas? Uh-oh, this growing new groove could rip a hole in your trusty old box of trusty old garbage.

Would you dare to let go of what you think you know so clearly?

Is there a way clear up the confusion? Yes, ask that question.

Why is this drama always happening?- you ask and answer at once with no thinking.

Your non- answer is rigged to fit the rigged question.

But could you pause your auto-answering of your non-questions, to maybe crash the autofeed of your self-created mind-lockdown?

Can you just hold your fire for once? Can you just pause always pressing the nuke button?

This pause step is a practice, and a clearing action that always pays off in a different way than we think.

Your pause in perceiving makes a gap that you really need to reveal the universe.

There it is!

See the glimpse?!

Save it for a beautiful keepsake of the real!

It shows upsometimes as a spaciousness.

It feels good!

Beautiful!

And then it seems to leave, it seems.

Don’t sweat it- the real universe of peace-beauty was always and is always there, within you, around you, including you and loving you in your climb up.

What if there’s more?

If letting that question take place produces an inkling of positive energy, you just got a sign! A greenlight! This is your answer to the essential beautiful open question.

Remember that, and you’ll begin to know what that is.

Just start remembering that there’s an option to pause and get another inkling and another- they’re quite predictable and soon you’ll be expectant if this joy.

It’s just a growing optional habit that changes the way you choose to see.

Our old mistaken scenarios can be forgiven-forgotten now.

Forgive you and me for our fake universe factory and get to the fun of being in the real.

What would be in it for you?- this upsetting of your consensus that defines it all?

We have to get clear that there may be a more-fun way of creating our situation.

Would a universe of Beauty and Meaning and its attendant good vibes be something you may be interested in?

If we’re honest, we don’t always want something more than playing in our old mud hole.

We’re invested in our familiar toxic brand, guzzling our trusty rot-gut.

But what if you had an actual glimpse of joy while holding off on your autoload of drama?

You’d notice it, because it’s different and refreshing!

What if we actually liked it? Could we allow ourselves more of this freshness?

We could want more and then have more, and it would make its way into our framework more and more.

Up to us to want it and practice pausing our robot brain more and more, til we have room inside us to get a real clue.

You can, I can, and we can have so much more joy come, turning what we are seeing into everything more real.
