If you truly want to realize complete serenity, which is your true, unbounded nature, then realize it now. Nothing real is in the way. Love is neither a religion nor a philosophy nor a hierarchy nor a belief system. Peace is not a state of mind. It doesn't require special training or preparation.
True love is awareness.
Everything is awareness. You and I are awareness. Not any particular kind of awareness at all. Just stop pretending you know anything in advance. Completely open your heart, and completely open your mind, and everything will be clear and unmistakable.
