no thing matters

Nothing matters!
What an amazing message.
Nothing matters?

If nothing matters intrinsically, then I am free to declare what I choose to have matter to me. But if something matters intrinsically...that is to say, if something matters to someone other than me, to someone else—shall we say God...then I had darned well better figure out what that is, I had better figure out what matters so much to God. Because if I don’t figure out what it is I will be the thing called "condemned;" or, at the very least, "unenlightened."
But God said, "nothing matters.” Therefore, you are free to make matter what you choose to make matter in your life. And I mean that in two ways: not only to "make matter," but to make something into matter, to cause a thing to become matter. That is, to "make it matter" in your life, to manifest in physical reality something that is pure matter out of physical energy, out of invisible physical energy. To turn energy into matter.
You know you are enlightened when you can’t even articulate what your thoughts are. Either that or you’re totally crazy, one or the other. Wouldn’t it be funny if enlightenment and craziness were one and the same?


if you simply love without expectation, without requirement, without needing anything in return, you have done a good job.

Enlightenment, when it is all said and done, has nothing to do with what you do with your body or your mind. It has to do with what you do with your soul. If you simply love everyone whose life you touch endlessly unconditionally with nothing needed or wanted in return, you have become enlightened and you have shown everyone whose life you touch how they may be enlightened as well, as fast as with any other system that exists, (snapping a finger) like that.

And if you learn to love yourself unconditionally, as well as everyone else, you can heal your entire body without lifting a finger.
