Peace.

1. Some people realize the universe is a figment of their imagination, like a dream.

2. Some see God and know everything is God.

3. Some discover all their concepts are equally true and false.

4. Some recognize there is no time, and nothing ever happened.

These are powerful realizations.

They’re very hard to articulate.

It takes courage to talk about them, because people will think you’re insane.

Awakenings tell you everything about the universe but why.

That’s the question you’re left with in the end.

That’s where peace comes in.

Peace was here before you came; it will be here when you’re gone.

It doesn’t know you exist.

We are the illusion we’re trying to see through.

There is no “why” because a non-effect doesn’t have a cause.

Peace is real, and all the nonsense isn’t.

Don’t try to account for it, just accept how it seems.

You don’t run after a mirage and you don’t try to get rid of it, either.

People say, “I experience profound peace and stillness now.”

What they mean is:

I realize I cannot disturb it.
