Whatever it is that you’re worried about, whatever is stressing you, I can give you the antidote right now. You can relax. None of this is real.

What we consider to be the “real world” is like a dream. To the eternal soul, this is just one layer. One story. One adventure.

In addition, everything here is temporary. A lot of our worries and stresses come from our need to control. We want to know the outcome. We want to ensure the ending. But we must understand that we control very little. We don’t control the path of our lives, we don’t control other people’s choices, and we don’t control society and world affairs. The only thing we can really control is our own minds and choices.

Once you fully grasp and accept this, you are free. The illusion of life no longer touches you. When you feel entitled to certain things like relationships, money, and status, this is when things start to fall apart for you. When you see that all of it is an illusion, you can learn to let go… Loosen that grip on illusory things. Live more happily — in the present moment.

What is happening right here right now is all that really matters. The soul is experiencing this with great awe. Why miss a moment of it?


My grief comes mainly from what I thought my life would be. My disappointment stems from my unreasonable expectations of life based on my socio-economic background. My stress arises from what I imagined things were “supposed to be” instead of accepting them for what they are.

The illusion of life creates a lot to be attached to. There are many things we can acquire, hold, and cherish in this physical world — but when we let go, we value them even more for their fleeting nature. None of this is forever. None of this is “real” — any more than a dream is real. It will end and make way for the next cycle of life.

Indulge in the abundance of the present moment and accept it as a passing event.

We spend a lot of time trying to hold tightly to what is “out there” in the world. We assume it’s all real. We define “real” as solid and permanent. But we cannot hold tightly to energy that is manifested as a physical object. We cannot attach ourselves to relationships that aren’t meant to be in this lifetime. Some paths we walk in our careers and yearnings take us on very different roads than we envisioned for ourselves.

The universe will always open a channel for us to keep flowing with it, and when we resist by trying to hang onto part of it for dear life, we find ourselves in a very stressful place. We should never try to control the course of the river because it is bigger than us. We must go with the current. Recognize the illusion of life and then just let go and see where the river takes you.


All of this is made of consciousness. There is no such thing as the physical world that is separate from you. You’re co-creating it with a greater consciousness all the time. All of the physical objects you know here on this plane are actually quantum arrangements that a great mind has created. You even play a part in the course of this great consciousness. The people you meet and the opportunities that find you are no accident. You’re part of a storyline. Consciousness is the basis of all things here.

You cannot own consciousness — but your ego will make you believe that you can strive to do just that.

Your small mind, the ego, will break its back trying to own things and control things. You are the master of your mental life, so try to guide your ego toward surrender. Tell it to let go of expectations and let it understand where all the worries and stress come from — the act of attempting to own and control.

Life will open beautifully like a lotus flower when you rise above the illusion of life. Be light and float along the path. Take in the wonders here. Each of us has a different path to walk, so don’t expect it to be like your neighbor’s. Embrace the unknown and in it, paradoxically, you will find clarity.
