The analytical mind cannot reach nondualism — the singularity. Neither can a flame burn itself. Analysis has to be abandoned in order to uncover the original Unity. Analysis by definition, cuts and (erroneously although evolutionarily necessarily) demarcates. You cannot reach wholeness by analysis. The latter precedes the former. Analysis divides and epistemologically encircles itself.

Short reflections, mostly on consciousness and non-duality.
You're not really afraid of whatever is in front of you. New or different is not the same as bad and you've conflated them.
You've also assumed you're safe and secure doing whatever it is you're doing when what you really can only say is that it's familiar.
Not desiring is the same as the satisfaction of the craving.
Joy is unscathed and unblemished. It is the highest purity. Joy is divinity manifested.
Existence, an exploration of Duality, necessitates Relationship, difference, subject and objects, space, distance, temporality.
In order to get things, time and space are necessarily implied. In a singularity, there is no here and there because of the lack of Location. This is because space itself has collapsed, non-existent; no longer relevant/available, present, necessary, for a "state" of supreme oneness, ie God (Purusha) undifferentiated.
Joy is always present because that is what you are. An embodied experience must necessarily be a closure of our natural, transcendent ground of being.
Timelines and possibilities are the same.
You don't want to know everything. That's the whole point.
Looking? For what? Something lost? You wouldn't look for something that you have so the search itself is folly. The pursuit itself implies an object OF pursuit. From the get go, dualism/separation is implied in this kind of thought/speech/orientation. Men will come up with plenty of ideologies as to why they're not joyous. Joy is prior to thought. All thought is hopelessly, derivative and messy. All thought does a poor job of explaining pure phenomenology and the Reality of Being, of pure Joy.
You don't need to be anywhere else.
Whatever is happening was/is chosen.
Enjoy it!
Judging (good bad) duality is itself a subtle form of dualistic thinking.
Isness is the transcending of dualism. Acceptance is transcending judgement.
Expectation, judging, evaluating, waiting is keeping you from joy. They are all distractions.
You don't ruin your life by choosing wrong once — you do it by not choosing at all and drifting into something misaligned.
You may be God, the Jivatman.
But that doesn't mean you aren't also in the process of becoming and developing towards God/Brahman.
Shiva is searching for Shakti and Shakti is looking for Shiva. They desire each other to become whole.
That is (part) of your journey. For now. You don't need to figure out the rest. Just like you didn't need to know how to become who you are today.
The world is full of love and beauty. All else is ignorance and not absolutely real. The good is the unadulterated manifestation of the divine.
The world and embodied consciousness have obviously evolved, therefore, to accept everything as perfect is to deny the/an ever changing aspect of the divine. Thus, your urge to make the world a better place, assuming it's not merely a neurotic externalization of the lack of inner control/tranquility, is valid. Moreover, denying parts of your incarnation is to entrap yourself unwittingly in duality, but also, to deny yourself evolution is a failure to embrace Shakti.
You must acknowledge and embrace the still point and things to the extent they further the evolution of your soul. To erroneously proclaim perfection and therefore eliminate the need for any kind of evolution denies the very process that has brought you to the realization and freedom. It would also be wrong to claim that this realization is the end of the evolution.
We need to collectively overcome celebrity.
That is to say that talent, showmanship, the spectacle, although interesting and unique, ultimately cannot and should not be allowed to become a stratum otherwise we step back into arbitrary hierarchy. We have to let go of the urge towards such an idealized passivity found in the entertainer-entertained dichotomy.
The idea of "greatness" and the drive towards an ideal still exists but is no longer conditioned by an ego. It is purified so to speak by untethering itself from any outward demand or need of recognition. Greatness, then, exists for itself and becomes the means towards its own end.
Finally freed from any exogenous determination or influence, greatness reaches its precipice. The ideal becomes realized.
Everyone wants the view. No one wants the climb.
