Everything you experience is an appearance within Awareness. Whether it’s a thought or a sensation or an image or a sound, it “appears” in you! What happens when you LOVE ALL appearances without prejudice? Meaning where before there was judgement, now there is only acceptance. Acceptance of what? Of Self.
Everything = You, so when you accept unconditionally ALL parts of yourself, you (as both the experience and the experiencer, i.e, both the outer and the inner world so to speak), feel a pure sense of peace and connectedness. The internal struggle, fighting, restlessness and turmoil, (dis-ease) that used to relentlessly dominant your present moment experience and cause much suffering is nowhere to be found… when this happens, a deep sense of “causeless” gratitude awakens in the heart spontaneously, effortlessly, and naturally. And all that’s left is silent awe.

Lovely as always Michael. I am so grateful for you. Thank you for sharing of yourself so consistently, constantly….lovingly, lavishly.
Nice post. Everything=You is a nice pointer to the reality that the you of your thoughts is an illusion and the You that “you” are is vastly greater…
Thank you so much for the reminder, Michael!
