Do not replace what you think you are with something someone else says you should be. What you “think” and what others think is an indulgence of ego (yours or theirs) that seeks to “fit” where it can’t. Finding “what you are” requires not a single thought nor any form of ego (which is all thought and imagination). What YOU are precedes ego, and ego is not allowed in the hallowed ground of YOU! Get out of your mind.

Stop living in the shadow of someone you claim has wronged you. We’ve all heard the saying, “Two wrongs don’t make a right,” but if you are holding onto the “claim” of wrongdoing, whether you do nothing else, that is a “wrong” you commit against yourself. Double whammy, and you’re doing all the suffering. Stop it! Get out of the shadows and into the light, and life brightens.

Are you living life or are you looking for reasons (messages) in the things you experience (live)? I hope it’s “living.”

If your lips are movin’, your ego is groovin’. Everything you say, regardless of eloquence, beauty, or intent, is ego. Even what you write, think, or dream is ego. Now, when you get this, once and for all, you will begin to see the miracle of everything instead of the narrow interpretation your ego allows. Speaking and thinking less broadens awareness.

“Who (or what) YOU are” has never cared what you think you are. It always rests in the quiet awareness that no thought, no possible idea of your greatness could even come close to that otherness that uniquely is YOU. No more thinking about who you are. We can’t imagine anything that big.
Bozebits
There is no common sense. There is common thought, but thoughts rarely make sense. They make even less sense when we express them. You have an intuitive voice that only shows up when all thoughts cease. It is a voice that rarely, if ever, seems typical. Quiet your mind; it’s the way to intuition.

Murphy’s spiritual law: You reach your level of spiritual incompetence as soon as you think you know what’s right (or wrong) for someone else.
Bozebits
Gods see everything as equal. People, places, or things; nothing rises above anything else. Humans constantly seek the special, the sensational, and until we stop “seeing’ in that way, we will continue to judge the so-called non-special. Gods are above such judgments, and, oh yes, YOU are Gods.
Bozebits
The exceptions to the rules tell us the most about life; they tell us the truth. No matter our particular collective values, we are all exceptional, far beyond any collective viewpoint or idea. Remember this: YOU are more significant than any collective’s view of you. Even the collectives you subscribe to. Be exceptional today; just by being YOU
