Lessons From Eighty-Two Years Attendance in The School Of Hard Knocks…

Lesson One:
Simply let life be whatever it is…at any given moment in Time…
Stop trying to predict…mold…and…or…shape the people…places and events of your life…
Let them be what they came to be…
And then let them pass…
For all of the experiences that we call human life on planet Earth…have come…to pass…
Understand that living is not about doing…it is more about…
LETTING…
PERMITTING…
ALLOWING…
For one’s sole purpose in finding oneself awake…conscious…and in a flesh body…
Is to act as an agent of whatever it is that causes all there is…into Being…
That’s it…the long and the short of it…
None of this…of course…makes the Ego happy…
But then…much to the Ego’s surprise…this life is not about the Ego…
That’s the crux of the problem…the Ego believes that It is the Boss of all of this confusion that passes off as human life…
When the truth of the matter is…the Ego is the author of the confusion…and the only way to bring order to all of this utter disorder of being human on planet Earth…is to use one’s Will…one’s innate freedom of choice…to bring the Ego into the position for which it was created…that of servant to First Cause…to the Great Mystery which underlies all of Life Itself…which even in our human madness…we can see…is not the Ego…
