Carl’s Nutshells

There is no flip side, no opposite to giving. Those who subscribe to the misnomer that giving begets getting do little more than reduce giving to a business transaction. Giving is not giving if any acknowledgment of reward, recognition, or expectation is attached to it. Give, and nothing else; full stop.

Reason digs deep into your mind, but mystery unleashes the infinite. In other words, the quest for “reason” by digging into your mind does little more than prevent you from a mystery no mind will ever comprehend. Reason that!

Verbalizing what you are, e.g., sensitive, strong, confident, fearless, kind, spiritual, etc.,” is not a revelation of what you are. It’s a revelation of what you are not, and you have a better chance of pulling off what you are not by not speaking about what you want others to believe you are. Ultimately, you need no definition. Without the slightest characterization of your thoughts of you, YOU could not be more indescribable. Quietly know that.
Bozebits
Everything you think, know or say is only symbolic of what is real. Do you see? Language is a way to compress what is real into generalized chunks of information we can comprehend, store, alter, bias, etc., and, later, articulate (symbolism). It is not the “whole” of reality. You do not have the sensory equipment to comprehend the whole. No one does, so be careful with what you articulate as absolute and kind to those who do. They know not what they know.” Again, no one does.
Bozebits
The gateway to never-ending ignorance is what you know and, worse, what you think. An open mind has no initial premise and none after giving clear and deliberate thought, meaning an “open mind” is always empty.
Bozebits
Your most significant limitation will always be your thinking, so don’t practice thinking. Practice “not” thinking.
Carl’s Nutshells
Bozebits
Of what are you aware? Is your venture into whatever your experience happens to be about you singularly facing a world that acts upon you in positive or negative ways, or do you experience a world that bustles with movement and surprise, as if “it” is living you? You live or are lived. Living (for most) is a series of snapshots that narrowly focus on you in the world. Being “lived” makes you the whole world. You don’t “choose” one or the other. You simply are; when you know what you are.
