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.

What you think in any situation is the “long path” because thinking carries bias, prior learning, fears, and judgments, all illogical concerning present circumstances. Do you see? Your thinking is looking for a way around unfavorable experience when silencing the noise of thinking offers clarity and intuition that would provide a way “through.” In short, the ultimate engagement with the present situation is going straight through it without irrelevant (past) garbage hindering the way. “Be still” and be inspired.
Carl’s Nutshells
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
Inner order does not occur when you have arranged the outer order (as if you can do that anyway). Peace, joy, and contentment come when you have put “your own (inner) house in order” and as far as the outer order? You already know. You can’t miss it when it’s all good inside.
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!
