Accepting that you’re nothing but a hollow channel does wonders for your creative flow.

I’ve been unnecessarily crazy for an insane amount of time.

IMHO the core of all knowledge boils down to two main points:  #1.  Somewhere inside you, you already know the answer…AND?

#2.  Go figure it out for yourself.

True reflection (when your self looks at yourself) is like two mirrors that begin to slowly face each other.  Once they’re fully reflecting their reflections, you get a glimpse of infinity:  a mirror of a mirror of a mirror of a…

Just before they shatter. 😉

Here’s the ever-repeating, constantly in-your-face joke:  

People are addicted to looking for a teacher to tell them that they don’t need to be taught!  😆

Those who love evil people are touted as saints.  But to truly be saintly, you must also love the darkest, pettiest parts of YOURSELF.  The trick is not to identify with it, and to accept/love those hated, despicable aspects just the same as if they were a separate person that was lost and confused.  

(sometimes this is even harder than loving an enemy.)

The reason that so few seek to know themselves is because the process is INCREDIBLY painful.  But the reason that those who know themselves are happy…

is because the pain is worth it.  😉

I believe rules have their place.  In the beginning, they provide stability; while truth is, in fact, everywhere, it’s easy to let the Ego foster addiction to a plethora of luxuries…but as you become better trained, more refined, and increasingly capable, a delicate balancing act becomes apparent:  Rules and guidelines must fall away so that one’s perception can wholeheartedly embrace That Which is Beyond Rules and Guidelines.  To That Thing, “the rules” are just an amusing gameboard that it can send whirling with a slap.  😉

I’ve used the illusions of fear and anxiety (that there’s not going to be enough for me if I don’t keep things in line and happening on time)…but that route requires caution; it’s easy to forget that there’s ALWAYS enough—that everything happens EXACTLY as it’s supposed to.  😉

Train the mind and will to be able to access all possibilities.  Train the heart and gut to pick the best one.
