You have nothing to do in order to be whole. This is the miraculous gift of Divine Love and Light, from which you are already inseparable. There is no way that you can ever move out of this Light; whatever you do, whatever happens to you, is placed in your life in the highest Light and Love. Nothing is ever wrong, nothing is ever out of place. This is all done for you already, by the Divine.

This fact does not have to be abstract or conceptual – it is available in your current experience, right in this very moment. This miracle of Divine Light is knowable by you right now as your simple sense of being. What else could your being be, but this miracle? Your beingness – this Light – is known to you, and it cannot be denied: you know that you are, and no one could convince you otherwise.

This ordinary, day-to-day beingness that you know undeniably, but take for granted, this is the Divine Light! And this Light, by which all things are able to appear, is all there is. The “contents” – people, things, thoughts, feelings, even your “self” – seem to exist in the light of beingness, but when you look at these contents, you discover that they only appear in the mind, and nowhere else. Can you find any person, object, thought, or feeling, outside of your mind?

This Light is not your mind. The mind is forever tossed this way and that by emotions, events, thoughts, and desires, but this Light is untouched. The Light which notices all the activity – all the contents of the world – is untouched by all of it. This Light – your ordinary awareness – has no point of view about all the goings-on of the world or of the mind from which it arises. You can verify this right now in your own experience. Do you notice the space which observes with no point of view? This space is the Divine Light.

This is nothing that you have to seek or attain. There is absolutely no attainment of any kind necessary. There is no path to navigate, no complicated directions to decipher, no initiation to receive. All that is required is that you stop and notice this ordinary, unchanging background of awareness within which all “activity” takes place. And this background can never leave you! It has never been, and will never be, anything other than right here, right now, all the time. This is the omnipresence of the Divine.

If you sit in meditation, watching your thoughts, struggling to quiet them down or ignore them, and hoping that they will become less bothersome someday, do you remember to notice the unchanging background on which the thoughts fight each other? There is nothing at all to be done about the thoughts – the stillness is already there, always in the background. Notice it right now – it is that which sees the movement, but has no point of view about it. You are already still – only the mind is moving.

Awareness – or space, Light, background, beingness – is always present, but usually goes unnoticed, just as the space in the room goes unnoticed in favor of the interesting objects occupying it. The objects could not be anywhere without the space, but the space is so obvious that we don’t notice it. Your ordinary awareness, which is the Light of the universe, is the most obvious thing right now – so obvious that you don’t see it.

Make an attempt to notice it right now. It has the most familiar feeling of anything you can find, because it has never, ever changed or been absent, from the moment you took your first breath. Everything you’ve ever known has been illumined in the Light of this awareness. It is the Light looking out of your very eyes, illuminating the universe.

This is a simple message, totally liberating and yet overlooked in favor of more ambitious, active practices that give you something to do, a goal, a sense of control and mastery. But these things are of the mind, and you will be led astray and continue to suffer. The Light is already present and no suffering exists in it. All personal suffering and desire gradually lose hold as the mind is seen for what it is, and YOU are remembered as the Light. This is total liberation.

You can read a thousand books, you can follow a thousand teachings, and you will keep ending up here. Right here, right now, there is this unchanging background, and this is the Light and Love you’ve been searching for. It is all the peace and stillness, all the love and compassion, all the power and protection, all of this that you’ve ever wanted, it is already here, now, as YOU, as this beingness that you are.
