  • We are born every day

    We are born again, as we wake, every single day. We have in-fact, a tremendous opportunity to take any drastic measures necessary to take control of your life’s reins. When you wake, you are born with experience, a reincarnation of your self – a baby-adult with knowledge. We must not forget that much of the meaningful this knowledge from life’s prior days in the field was earned and learned by means of drama and trauma. Moving forward, keep the knowledge and lessons learned – leave the drama and trauma in the prior, cut the fat and gut much higher.

  • The place where money has no value

    There is a place where your money has no value. This place exists in purity, mother nature’s maturity. Waiving a dollar won’t get you far, it won’t buy you a drink or befall you a star. Someone might stop and say, “That’s cool, where did you get that thang.” Better off to make hat for a simple cat, or have you not leanred? Maybe you’ve forgotten – in this place being genuine is worth more than to offer a slice of died-up rotten cotten.

  • Questions are stairs to the basement or the sky

    The first question we ask fulfills it’s task; the true answer is in stone. We can choose now what to do, some just stare while others are presented with a sturdy stair, accessed by questioning the question. And so it goes, as “why has wings” to carry you up or down if you care to question the definition of “ground” – how do we define what is divine?

  • The gift of questioning everything

    Knowledge is dandy, you can give it like candy; saturate your brain like brandy soaked liver-rain. But data is like air that flows through a wing, plenty to go around and impossible to contain; better to give the gift of questioning everything.

  • Conquer without defeating

    You can rise without being a another’s counterweight, and you can forgo a meal to donate your plate. You can conquer without defeating, or drink the air without depleting, take from the tree without leaving him a stump for seating, and say hello with bat of eyes, rather than an over-exhaustive greeting. If you conquer, you’ve taken only what you need, to control the rights and possess the deed; in this scenario intact is your oponent’s dignity for you to hold or gift back, release the strings if you please. However if your dial is broken and set to defeat, there is a major flaw in your war machine, because what you kill you have to clean, and what is left are just two piles; one of bones and the other of meat.

  • The final phase

In this final phase you discover what an asshole you are and have been, The confidence of learning that you’re an asshole can be so powerful that you become an even bigger asshole until somebody points out that it’s great that you know you’re an asshole but what are you gonna do about it now that you know.

  • For you, not about you

    Some people are immediately defensive and will attack another for words of love misconstrued and taken as an attack on their person. It is not their intention to attack, but the perception of being attacked activates a fight or flight scenario and they naturally fight to protect whatever it is that they are afraid of being exposed about themselves. The vicious cycle will continue at each instance of the empath attempting to “reason at the root” with the apath, with only one way to stop the cycle, heal the connection and move forward. You must explain that you are not saying anything critical of them, you are only providing information for them, not about them.

  • “I love you” and what happens to the eraser?

    Everyone loves a good eraser, but the so-called laws of thermodynamics…or, well, cause and effect – no matter what you’re erasing, you are either polluting, eroding and / or corroding the material being used to erase-away the past mistake. A simple concept, to remove graphite from paper with a rubber, simple to replace when worn away – you’ll just buy another. Another concept not as simple, this is using “I love you” as the material to erase relation’s mistakes, remember cause and effect – one thing cleaned by an eraser wears the other away.
