Concentrating on the body unknowingly contributes to its death. For I’m believing in lack, and lack is death. “Seek not outside yourself.” The search implies I’m not whole within and fear to look upon my devastation, preferring to seek outside mySelf for what I am.

The object of conformity and compliance is to bring the best of the past forward.
A person can achieve expert results by following in the footsteps of an expert.
The old ways are often the best ways.
Discoveries are made only by those who stray from the path.
“I make more mistakes than anyone else I know, and sooner or later, I patent most of them.”
– Thomas Edison
“If a man does not keep pace with his companions, perhaps it is because he hears a different drummer. Let him step to the music which he hears, however measured or far away.”
– Henry David Thoreau
“The reward for conformity is that everyone likes you except yourself.”
– Rita Mae Brown, Venus Envy
Traditional wisdom is often more tradition than wisdom.

Because we are limited is no reason life should be limited. Humanity is not the measure of all things – as the philosopher famously said. Our limitation is only our unbelief. Life can bring us a big thing or a little thing. The power and substance in, thru, and as everything (including us) remains infinite. The question isn’t about size, but about consciousness. Now, in strong belief that this is so, I search my heart and allow my greatest desire to be fulfilled.

Columbus Day
Let’s not throw the baby out with the bathwater.
Yes, Christopher did many terrible things. But what we want to celebrate today is not the man per se, but his courage and innovativeness – the same courage and innovativeness that’s in every one of us. Let’s remember and celebrate that. We need not hide nor ignore Christopher’s faults and failures to do that. He, like all of us, is both light and dark, yin and yang.
This is also true of Old Glory. The flag represents both our nation’s failures and successes. We need not deny nor cover-up our failures to celebrate our successes. But we will surely have more and greater success if we honestly face our failures, correct them and move on.

American Exceptionalism
A more honest look at the USA, not by supporting Trump and his Republican sycophants, might be a starting point to make America great again. For those who perceive this as an attack, please remember that I am a wounded Viet Vet and still love and appreciate our country.
We are #1 in:
Gun ownership and gun deaths
Brain injuries due to playing a game – football
Allowing babies to be born addicted
Allowing senior citizens to die of heat and other causes in nursing homes.
Not voting – 49% did not vote in last election
Voting for a mean spirited incompetent
Having a political system – the Electoral College – in which a minority of those that voted – of the 51% that voted, half voted for Trump – can capture the White House and mess with the country
Having a political system – gerrymandering – in which extremists in safe districts fear being ‘primaryed’ by people even more extreme, leading to a House of Representatives hamstrung by extremists.
Here are more examples of American Exceptionalism:

Each minute is an opportunity to awaken to ourSelves or remain asleep as ourselves. “Be not content with littleness,” the Course in Miracles advises. “Littleness is the offering you give yourself. You offer this in place of magnitude, and you accept it. Everything in this world is little.” Even the magestic sweep of the ocean, the highest peak, the warmth of a smile, and the thrill of teamwork. These are but reflections of ourSelves and “are little because they are made of littleness.
“When you strive for anything in this world in the belief that it will bring you peace, you are belittling yourself and blinding yourself to glory. Littleness and glory are the choices open to your striving and your mindfulness. You will always choose one at the expense of the other.”

I like to think of you as a frugal skeptic.
I’m not sure I buy that.
How do trash collectors get trained?
They don’t. They just pick it up as they go along.
Any news about the guy who fell into the upholstery machine?
Yes. He’s now fully recovered.
My cousin was arrested for selling faulty Tasers.
We heard. Nobody was shocked.

HELP – Hello, Eternal Loving Presence
Ask for help. Receiving is an act of generosity.
No way can I know and do all that needs to be done. That’s just a fact, reality. Despite the myth of ‘rugged individualism’, I (and you) need not feel diminished or shamed by this. That’s why God made handymen, physicians, electricians, etc. But we DO feel diminished and shamed when we ask for help.
Well, let go of that idea and those feelings and take advantage of the miraculous support networks within and without. When I make myself available for support from God as other beings and phenomena, I am enriched, not diminished. HELP – Hello, Eternal Loving Presence.

Lighten up!
Boy is that advice I can use! I take things so seriously. They are serious, but still I could allow a smile, a giggle or a laugh more often than I do. I could allow a laugh, even a sarcastic one, without diminishing the seriousness of what’s going on. In fact, a smile or a laugh will give a moment’s respite and buoyancy, an opportunity to see things differently, from a fresh perspective and to get a new grip on what’s going on.
The silly self we all had as kids is still there and can still serve us well and free us from the trap of adulthood if we will allow it to.

Rosh Hashanah, the Jewish new year, begins at sundown tonight.
Some will celebrated by going to synagogue, others not.
My current understanding of the power we call ‘God’ is that It is within us, not outside us, not some rare and unique power to be worshipped and appeased with song and prayer, but the Source of my life (and yours and Trump’s and Kim’s) the very energy and thought that I use to live.
I try to ‘worship’ God by being grateful, compassionate and kind – as It is, all the time. This is difficult in our dualistic ‘reality’. But God knows who and what I am – one with it as you are also (and as Trump and Kim are), and provides abundant opportunities to be as It and I want to be.
That’s what’s great about Rosh Hashanah, the new year. It’s a reminder to everyone, not only Jews, that we can allow more of our divine nature to manifest, not just once a year, but all the time, or at least as often as we can.

Your opinion of me is none of my business.
I can be sure of the one opinion that matters (as you can be) – the love, kindness and compassion of mySelf.
My work (as yours is) is to always remember my identity and restore myself to mySelf. To pick myself up when I fall down; correct mistakes when I make ‘em and to get my bloated nothingness out of the way of the divine circuits.
