"I don't mind what happens." -- J. Krishnamurti The "eternal what" is every thing before and after the now. The "what happens" is a temporary expression of the "eternal what". The "what happens" is a mirror of the "eternal what". The "eternal what" loves seeing itself in the mirror. This love is divine love, peace beyond understanding. The mind, the self's emotions and memories, precludes us from seeing "what happens". Through the mind we see only illusions. When we don't mind, we accept "what happens" and the illusions disappear. Then we realize we are the "eternal what"....

Stress is a selfish state of mind. Stress happens when the self takes control of the mind. The remedy is freeing the mind from the self. The etymology of the word "mind" is "memory". Remembering what the universe is can free us from the shackles of stress. The etymology of the word "universe" literally means "turned into one". All things are temporarily things in the now, but eternally one thing: the universe. Who we are is a self. What we are is the universe. When we only perceive being a self, we suffer selfish states such as stress. Remembering we are the universe, we have no stress. Feeling great and being stressed are mutually exclusive states of mind. When we feel great, we cannot be stressed. When we are grateful, we are "great-full" with no space for stress. We are grateful when we remember we are lucky. However stressful our circumstances, we are lucky they are not worse. The word "hap" means luck. The root of happiness is remembering we are lucky. When we are happy, we cannot be stressed. Life is a play. For the actors in the play, it's a tragedy; good times, bad times, meaningful relationships here and there, but everyone dies at the end. For the audience, it's a comedy; watching actors take their roles seriously, though it's only a play. When we identify as the self, we are the actors. The audience is Gods. When we remember we are Gods, we are also the audience. As Homer once said, near the home of the Gods, Mount Olympus, there is a deafening sound of the Gods laughing. The Gods are laughing at us. When we die, we leave the play and join our fellow Gods in the audience. Remembering we are both the actors and the Gods, we can laugh at our selves. When laughing, we are not stressed. Much stress is a function of things from the past. These things are karma: our intentions, actions and consequences of past lives. Karma affects how we experience the now. Our past lives are not lives we had before this life. Our past lives are passed days of our life. Each day is not a day in a life, but a life in a day. We accumulate much karma over our passed lives. The people we were in passed lives are illusions. Our memories of them are just a dream; yet, the self tells us otherwise. When we don't believe the self-stories about the past, we remember we are only the person we are right now. Karma of the past is passed and we cannot be stressed in the now. The self has many faces or emotions, like stress. The self's emotions control our mind. To escape the self we need to calm the self with unconditional love. Unconditional love comes only from the soul. When we love unconditionally, we are the soul. The soul is never stressed....

Pantheism is a religion without religion. Organized religions are identity groups typically defined by institutionalized characteristics: belief systems, sacred texts, rituals, moral codes, communal practices, symbols and anecdotes. As each group perceives itself different from other groups, every religion is inherently dualistic Pantheism dispels with duality. Pantheism is the view that while every thing seems unique, all there is is one everchanging thing: God. Oneness with God is a transcendental experience that dissolves the illusion or separateness. Oneness is a mystical experience (like Sufism, Kabballah, Tantra, and Zen meditation) that doesn't require a religious framework. Oneness transitions us from individual consciousness to divine consciousness. Our view changes from the world being finite things to all there is is the everchanging and eternal Everything, God. In the mystical state of oneness, one loves every thing; though one may not necessarily like every thing. Loving every thing feels like every thing loves us. The reciprocating love is a transcendental peace beyond understanding. Pantheists appreciate organized religions and secular beliefs as different expressions of God; but view them as unnecessary and often funny as they mask the fundamental truth that every thing is sacred. Non-pantheists often don't appreciate pantheistic perspective. People taking themselves seriously are unamused and confused by those who laugh at them with unconditional love....
