Carl’s Nutshells
Bozebits
Your wants disempower you. Your needs lull you into illusion, and your possessions enslave you. Minimize all three to experience more freedom, less stress, and unconstrained joy.
Bozebits
Only you can change the world, but it will have nothing to do with the world changing.
Bozebits
Beyond any idea of a purpose, you possess something infinitely more profound and beautiful. It’s called “life,” and all it ever asks of you (or anyone) is to live it regardless of your place in it. Do you understand?
Where you are is not where you are supposed to be. Where you are “IS” because YOU are, and no one in all eternity will ever experience life as you do NOW. Nothing exists without YOUR experience of it; nothing.
Bozebits
The success of the ego measured in rightness. The more right we think we are or need to be, the more egocentric we are. Embracing wrongness, now there’s a twist. Give it a try.
Bozebits
Don’t let your mind or mouth engage in a conversation about you. First, it is a shallow conversation that feeds self-importance and is the stuff of egos. Two, it is not true. Beyond all the mind-made ideas and descriptions of your human existence, “who YOU are” is beyond anything said or thought. Why waste a second saying anything or thinking about it?
Bozebits
Your description of yourself as a human immediately affects your experience of being human. That is, what you think alters what you are and any experience you have. Thoughts applied to experience are not the experience, nor is any thought of you, what you are. YOU are existence itself right up until the moment you think about it. So, stop thinking!
Bozebits
As a human, you are not unique. As a God, you are beyond any need to be so. Only your mind (ego) cares. Which rules over you? Be honest.
Bozebits
You create a “virtual reality” whenever you think, wish, hope, dream, or desire how things should be. Do you see? “What is” is without thought of any kind and is entirely unalterable because you think it should be “other” than it is. There is nothing “real” about “virtual.” There is only experience of which you are the critical component. Nothing more is needed (especially your thoughts) to experience the real; nothing “virtual” will compare. Get out of your mind.
Bozebits
If you don’t alter your view of the world, any world you seek to change will never be satisfactory. In other words, what you think needs changing is what you don’t see. What you don’t see is you!
