HEALTHY? WEALTHY? WISE? JOYFUL? What would it take to make you happy? How about joyful? Right now. Right here. Forever! Ever wonder what lies beyond bliss? Or how to get there?
How Do I Find My Purpose? A dialogue in 9 parts Part 1 ARE YOU REALLY READY FOR THE ANSWER? If not, maybe you should turn on the TV, grab a drink, watch a movie, read a book or whatever turns you on. And if you are ready ... Here we go …. Your purpose is to consciously choose the experiences of Love and Joy. There, I've said it. Now you know. You don't have to keep searching any more. That didn’t take long now did it. Yeah but what does that mean? It means that if you want to love living a fulfilling life you will accept that:
And all this changes whenever you choose. As does your purpose. I SHOULD BE RICHER, HEALTHIER, HAPPIER …. Yeah but .... This is not the life I should be living. I mean I should be richer, healthier, in a better job, a better relationship, happier etc. If that is 'now' your choice, then that can be what you now create. BUT HOW DO I DO THAT?
But I don't know what to do? That is not true. What you are not sure about, you can ask and find out. WHO DO I ASK?
In the end they all lead you to your purpose, which is always exactly what you are doing right now. Until you change that of course. Could you be more specific about where I start? Do you believe that:
No. How could that possibly be true? If you did believe it, how would your life be different? Well. Ok. Maybe I see what you mean. Are you saying that if I believe you about this, then:
I am saying that: THE REALITY YOU LIVE IS THE ONE YOU CREATE And the more you accept responsibility for your creation, the more your life is fulfilling and rewarding. Does that mean I will also be happier all the time? If you choose. AAGH! Give me a break. Is that what you want. Every experience you ever had led you right here. Is this a good place to be? If it takes me where I want to go. Good. Choose that now. Choose what? Where you want to go. Ok .... well, I’m not quite sure where that is exactly. Are you ready to begin? Yes. You know where you have been. Right? And you know what you like, or at least what you don’t like. Right? Yes. Now, imagine what your life would be like if you always had more than enough money and time and were so healthy that you literally shone like a beacon in the sky and no one ever tells you what to do and whatever you do, you feel not just happy, but joyful. But I don’t see how that will help me get where I want to be. Life is a process, not a result. You go through the process and you get the result. You don’t go through it to get the result although that happens anyway. So this is a process. You do it and things change. Let’s look at it this way. You read lots of books on how to change, right? Right. And you took some courses, right? Right. And you probably did some other things too, right? Right. And you did make some changes, right? Yeah but they didn’t last. And some of them didn’t turn out the way I wanted. You make two very good points.
Do I have that right? Yes. You are right that things don’t last. Not your body, not your house, not your choices, not your money, not your health … not anything. That, my friend, is the nature of reality. Things change. Always have. Always will. The good part is that you get to choose how they change. We’ll get to that part later. Your other point is that things don’t turn out the way you planned. Is that right? Yeah. Many times I think that if I do this or that, then I know what will happen but it doesn’t work out that way. Actually it did work out the way you planned. It’s just that you were not aware of all that you were planning. What? Are you telling me I planned for Mary to dump me. Or that I planned to get sick just before I went on vacation. Or I planned to get fired from the best job I ever had? Bullshit. You have really lost me now my friend. Stick with me and I will explain. Long ago, you made a lot of decisions about what your life was going to be like. You did not make these decisions consciously. In fact, many people would say it was not actually you who made these decisions. Who then?
Even while you were in the womb you heard things and even though you didn’t understand them, you were being programmed by them to react to the world in certain ways. And when you were a young child, you were told how to behave and you obeyed. And then when you rebelled, maybe around age 2, you were punished for not obeying and you learned to get through life by doing what others thought you should do. That’s quite a challenging habit to break don’t you think? I AM AN ADULT NOW AND I CAN DO WHAT I WANT Yeah, but I am an adult now and I can do what I want. Exactly. You can now do whatever you choose. Well not exactly whatever I choose. Exactly what you choose. As long as you are prepared to accept the consequences of what you choose. For example. If you choose to take something that does not belong to you, there is a natural consequence that you might be caught and imprisoned. Or that you get away with it and you could choose to be happy about that. Or you could choose to feel guilty about it if you were programmed to do so long ago. If we are not prepared to accept the consequences, then we may make a different choice. I can see that. But how about getting fired. I never made that choice. Yes you did. No way! Way. You loved that job didn’t you? Yeah. It was my dream job. I was never happier. I loved that job. But you took home the package of printer paper, didn’t you. Get a life. They could afford it. It’s not like they were going to miss it. And it’s not like I was stealing it. I mean everyone does it. Did you ever imagine you could get fired for taking it? Ok. So may be it was stealing but I was doing a great job. I worked over time without pay every night and most weekends. I had no personal life. Everything I did was for the company. Surely I deserved something a little extra. I mean they should not have fired me for that. I was really sorry. I offered to replace it and everything. Actually you were really sorry you got caught. And maybe sorry you got fired. Maybe. You knew before you took it that doing so could lead to your getting fired and you did it anyway. You made a decision, took a risk, the natural consequence of which was that you got fired. No real surprise there. The question you might want to ask yourself is why you took it, if on some level you knew that doing so could get you fired from your ‘dream job’. ARE YOU SAYING IT WAS MY FAULT? Are you saying it was my fault I got fired? Yes. Ok. Ok. I mean I was working day and night for those guys and I guess it was too much. I mean I get it. I don’t like it but I get how I wanted to get out of there but couldn’t quit. I needed the money. I loved the prestige. And now you have neither. I guess you didn’t need them after all. Either that or you didn’t believe you deserve them. Didn’t believe I deserved them? Are you nuts? No. Are you? No. Of course not. You created a situation that proved you did not deserve the great salary and the adulation that went with such a high profile job. It wasn’t even that you got greedy – you just followed your programming. Your unconscious programming told you that you did not deserve the job and told you to do what it would take to get fired. The result was inevitable. Are you saying I deliberately got fired? Yes. Ask yourself how it is that anyone could discover you taking such a small item. You had to practically throw it in their face. The very first day on the job they spent hours talking to you about how important integrity was to their business. And you knew the only way to get out of there was to demonstrate a lack of integrity. When you were two years old you took what you wanted. And you were punished. Now you took what you wanted and you got punished. The program you are running is the same. Well if that is true, and I am not sure it is, then it must be time for some radically new programming. It is if that is your choice. Ok then Sherlock. Tell me how I lost Mary then. Don’t tell me I deliberately got her to dump me. I waited all my life for her. I was totally and completely in love. I was infatuated beyond reason. I would have done anything for her. I did everything she ever asked. I mean what more could I have done for her? We were going to get married, have kids and spend our lives together happily ever after. There is no way I was ever going to sabotage that. It was her, who dumped me for no good reason. I was so good to her. She could not have asked for someone better than me.
Actually she could and she did.
Was she the one for you? Maybe. Were you the one for her? Obviously not. That happens sometimes. Did you sabotage your relationship with her?
Are you kidding me? Absolutely not.
You mean absolutely yes.
No. I mean absolutely not.
Let me explain.
In the beginning you were infatuated. You graduated from there to what you called love. You did everything she asked. Except for one thing. She asked you to be yourself. You did not do that.
But I wanted to please her. I did everything for her.
That is not what she was asking you to do.
I don’t understand.
You will. You failed to recognize that her attraction to you was based on who you are, not on what you did for her. The more you did things for her, the less you expressed who you are. You became like her servant. She did not need that. Nor did she want it. In the end you lost her because you lost yourself.
Oh my God.
Oh my you.
How about that vacation? I was all ready to go on this great cruise and I got the worst cold ever. It turned into pneumonia and I couldn’t go. How was that my choice?
Did you pay for the trip with a credit card?
Yes. What has that got to do with it?
Did you have the money to pay for the trip when you booked it?
No. but I was going to pay for it over time.
Could you really afford the trip?
Well. I mean I really needed to go. I needed that trip. I had worked hard. I was tired. I …
You knew you could not afford it and you chose a way to get out of going.
If you are so smart, how come you are here talking with me.
I have been where you are. I know where you can go if you choose. I would like to help you get there.
Where can I go if I choose?
Where indeed.
You mean like anywhere I choose right?
Yes.
So let’s get started. How Do I Find My Purpose? A dialogue in 9 parts Part 2 You are not broken and you do not need fixing Every decision that you ever made was the right one. Even if things did not turn out as you hoped or expected, the decision you made was absolutely correct. That's because you are a master creator. You created every circumstance and event in your life. Without exception. And if that is true, and it is, then you can recreate your life anew in any moment you choose. I think you lost me at hello. I mean get real. What the heck are you talking about. I created nothing. Oh sure I can see what you were getting at when you talked about how I got fired or lost my girlfriend, but really, it's more than a bit of a stretch to say that I created everything that has happened in my life so far. If you didn't create it, who did? Life did that's who. I mean life is obviously a random set of experiences that just happen. You know. Like shit happens. Life happens. It's short. It's sweet or crappy and then you die. That's it. But it is all random. End of story. It that were true, and it is not, what then would be the purpose of life. The purpose of life my friend is to survive, to go on, till we die. And then what. What are you going on about. Life ends when you do. That's it. Finis. It's over. It ends when it ends. There is no more. And even if there were and there really is reincarnation, you just do it again. There is no point. There is no purpose. There is no grand direction other than to exist. Finally we agree. We do. Yes. The purpose of life is to exist. Yeah but why. I mean why do we exist? What's the point of that? We choose to exist for whatever reason we choose. That's the point. Let's say to choose to be one of those. Ok. Pick one. Any one. Ok. I choose to be a farmer. Why do you choose that? What difference does it make. Tell me what led you to choose to be a farmer. Ok. So I choose to be a farmer because I like to be outdoors in nature. You could do that by taking a walk in the woods. Well ok so I choose to be a farmer because I like being in nature and I like working with the earth and I like creating crops and giving people food to eat that is good for them. And when you do that, does it make you feel good? Of course it does. Why else would I do it? So could we then say that your intention was to be a farmer? Right on Sherlock. When did you decide that? Well actually I didn't decide it. My dad was a farmer so what else was I supposed to do? Lots of farm kids leave the land and work in the city. Not me. I hate the city. So you choose the farm life over a city life. Yeah. So what is your point. My point is that you made choices and followed through on them in order to live the life you choose. Ok. So I made choices. How does that have anything to do with every choice I ever made being the right one. Are you happy being a farmer? Sometimes. And sometimes not. There are days when I don't know how I will have the strength to carry or and nights I worry about where I am going to get seed money for next season or whether it will rain enough or too much and I get very stressed worrying about that. Is there any part of what you just described that you did not know would happen before you chose to become a farmer? I never thought about most of it that's what you mean. I mean I guess if I had thought about it I would have to say there have not been a lot of surprises. Exactly. There you go again sounding all high and mighty. I have to tell you that if I had to do it all over gain I might have chosen differently. And you could. Could what? Choose to do it all over again. Differently or the same. You are really nuts. Do it all over again? Differently or the same? Oh I get it. You are telling me I get to make choices. All the time. Every time. Yeah but some times those choices do not make me happy. That does not mean you always choose to be happy. I think maybe it is time to get you a psychiatric examination. I have never chosen to be unhappy. And yet that has been the natural outcome of some of your choices, as we discussed in part 1 of this conversation. But that was because I didn't know how it was going to turn out. It was because you did know how it was likely to turn out and you chose to do it anyway. So let me get this straight. You are saying that I got what I asked for. That I made choices, even ones I knew would turn out badly, and it's all my fault. Exactly. Except instead of referring to it as your fault, I would say it was your responsibility. Why on earth would I make decisions that would make me unhappy. Because you are on earth. Not in heaven. You mean like I am human. And making bad choices is part of the human condition. Making choices is part of the human condition. We make them all the time. Even when we don't make choices, that too is a choice we have made. And whether we judge that choice to have turned out well or poorly, is also another choice we make. Are you one of those nuts who go around saying no matter what happens it's all for the best. You must be some kind of Pollyanna, always looking on the bright side no matter how crappy things are. I am when I choose to be. And so are you. So you are saying no matter how things turn out, I can choose to believe it was a good choice. If that is your choice. Well I don't believe that. That too is your choice. Look. A lot of my life has been pure crap. I mean I have had some terrible experiences. I have been beaten. I have been broke. My first wife left me. I lost my job. I got so sick I couldn't even work any more. Are you telling me to look on the bright side, because if you are, this conversation is over because you are insane. I am telling you that no matter what choice you made, no matter what the outcome was, it was your choice. And you can wallow in the consequences or you can learn from what you did and make another better choice or go on living with the choice you already made. Yeah but sometimes it seems impossible to make another choice. I mean who would hire me now? I am 57 years old and my belly keeps me from seeing my toes and I never got a university degree and blah blah blah - you get the idea. Do you know of anyone who is worse off than you or who had less training or who was older or sicker who managed to make successful choices. Yeah but they weren't me. Well, perhaps they were but we'll come to that in a later chapter. For now, if you can acknowledge that someone managed to do it, to get beyond seemingly insurmountable odds, then surely you can find a way to find out what they did and make it work for you. You make it sound easy. It all begins with a choice. A choice followed by action leads to results. Even a choice not followed by action leads to results although they may not be the results you would like. So what do you mean when you say in the title of this section that I am not broken and I do not need fixing? Every choice you ever made was made with your own positive intent. Even when I chose to make myself unhappy? Yes. And since you created your reality, you can recreate it anew. Yeah but reality is what is. So you say. Yeah I do say. How is it then that two people can experience the same event and describe it differently? How can two witnesses to the same event have very different versions of what took place? I don't know. Yes you do. They chose see what happened based on their individual perspectives and filters. Many of these filters are completely unconscious and result from childhood, and some would say, even from past life experiences. There you go again. How Do I Find My Purpose? A dialogue in 9 parts Part 3 The Past Does Not Equal the Future What you are about to read may surprise you. And then again it may not. This could be because you have already heard it before. Or because you know it or believe it. Or not. Whatever has happened to you in the past has influenced who and how you are today. But I thought you said we could choose to be who and how we are at any time. So how can you now say that our past has influenced who we are. Because it has. Which is not to say it has made you who you are, only that it has influenced your choices about how you think and how you act. At any point you have the knowledge and the ability to rise above any of your previous 'programming'. What do you mean by programming? Everything that ever happened to you, everything you ever heard, saw, felt, imagined or were told has become part of your programming. Every human is the result of a unique set of programming influences that have helped shape their reality and their personality. For example. When you watched the television program on the genocides in Rwanda and Darfur, you chose to donate money to help. Yeah, so what. That 'program' in you experienced, aroused a program in you to help others in need. Well what else could I have done? You could have done what many before you have done. Which is what? Nothing. Not because they are bad people or do not care but because the 'program' they saw did not interact with their programming the way it did with you. I don't get it. Each of us lives a life story. Our stories become who we think we are. The stories we have lived become our memories and when those memories are ''relived' by a 'program' we tend to respond in a familiar way. If the 'program' or 'story' we are experiencing does not 'touch us' in a certain way, our reaction may not be the same as it is for others. Perhaps a good example would the group of people who come from the same country original but who moved to a new country and culture now. So now they have a story, a program, if you will that includes two countries and two cultures. If these people are exposed to a new story/program involving their 'old country' they may well all act in a similar way due to their relatively common programming. Huh? Lets say a group of people who emigrated from Italy to Canada are watching a soccer match between teams from England and Italy. The chances are they will cheer for the Italian team because they share a common program or story about Italy. This is not to say they all would, or that any of them would have to, but it is more likely that they would due to their background and experience. Similarly, even if these people were second or third generation Italian their new country, they would be more likely to cheer for the team from their 'original story/program' as a group. Well ok I can see that. I don't get why but I can accept that it would happen. The why is the common program history or story that they all share. And the point is that whatever the program or story in the past, it will impact the present and might influence the future. This is why it is so important to study and understand history. Not to get revenge or gain advantage, but to become more aware of our programming so that when we make conscious choices in the present, we understand what some of our unconscious influences are. This knowledge can assist us to free ourselves from our past programming and to make better decisions. How Do I Find My Purpose? A dialogue in 9 parts Part 4 How Do I Find My Purpose? A dialogue in 9 parts Part 5 How Do I Find My Purpose? A dialogue in 9 parts Part 6 A Sharp Left Turn
It is time now to make a quantum shift in our way of thinking; a shift that will allow you to take complete charge of your life by becoming
aware of how you interact with every other life force in the universe. What is that supposed to mean? It means that everything we have spoken about until now, was just the preamble of what we are about to discuss now. You have got to be kidding me. I mean you have taken every belief I have and turned it inside out. And now you are telling me that we are just getting started? Yes. Well maybe, just maybe I am not ready for that. Maybe I have had enough. Maybe I want to go back to my reality where everything makes sense and when I wake up tomorrow maybe I just want to eat bacon and go to my job, come home to the kids, watch some TV and go to bed. How will that life serve the world. The world! What are you talking about. I am struggling each and every day just to get by. Don't talk to me about the world. I have enough on my plate already. What is on your plate is more than you can see. More that you have ever imagined. More than enough to take complete charge of your life. Yeah well how do I do that then. Eh? You begin by recognizing that you are the universe. Come again? You are the universe. Every thought you have, every breath you breathe, every action you take, every intention you hold affects everyone and everything there is. In fact is does more than that. It becomes, and then is, everything that is, was or will be. Get stuffed. I mean like now you have totally lost it. If that were true there would be no wars. No famine. Everyone would love everyone else because do? I would see to it. See? I see. Now it is your turn. Oh sure. Put it all on me. I have had enough of this. I want out. Give me my mind back and let me go home. You have, and you have always had, everything you need or ever will need to create your life and the universe in your own image. In fact, this is what you have always done. Hold on there buddy. There is no way this world is the image of me. I never killed anybody. I never, well, hardly ever stole anything. I always give to charity. And geese Louise I am even kind to animals so where do you get off saying that the way things are is my fault. Is that what I said? Like yeah. Then that is how it is. Except it is not your fault. It is your responsibility. Get over it buddy. The more aware you become, the more your responsibility it becomes. But I don't accept that responsibility. I don't even believe what you are saying. I mean even if it were true what could I do about it. Good question. Oh you. Listen. I know how the world works. Or at least I thought I did until you came along. It works like this. You are born, created, create yourself or whatever. Then you live and then you die, or live forever or who knows. I am so confused. Confusion is where wisdom begins.
How Do I Find My Purpose? A dialogue in 9 parts Part 7 Further Along the Sharp Left Turn
Let us begin this portion of the dialogue by acknowledging the indomitable spirit and benefit of confusion. Confusion is a wonderful place because it always leads somewhere other than confusion. Now, often, people will go back to their beliefs, their comfort zone, when they find themselves confused. But sometimes, people will create new beliefs or seek out new explanations to help them cope with what they did not understand. And when they can't come up with a belief they come up with a coping mechanism, like agreeing with the majority of other people, or drugs, or TV, or sports etc. Remember that beliefs are just explanations you come up with to explain what you do not yet consciously know. And often those beliefs were given to you as children without your even being aware they were being 'installed'. And most people are fairly comfortable with their beliefs, some of which they confuse with what they know. For example. There was a time when pretty much everyone believed/knew the world was flat. There was a time when pretty much everyone believed the Berlin Wall was permanent. There was a time when no one believed anyone could walk on the moon. There was time when pretty much everyone believed/knew that the sun would come up tomorrow until they realized that the earth rotated. There was time when pretty much everyone believed/knew that no one could fly, until they did of course. You get the idea. So what has all this got to do with you creating reality? Most people who read this will either believe they create their reality or they won't. Some will be aware of The Secret', or the work of Ekhart Tolle and Oprah or some Guru type who has explained how it all works. Or sort of how it works because really, trying to put it into words is like trying to explain how they get the liquid filling into a solid chocolate bar or how travelling at the speed of light can change mass or how it may just be possible to be in two places at the same time. Whoa there buddy. I think maybe you have been eating too many of those magic mushrooms. Even I know that filling a chocolate bar is just some sort of trade secret and not magic or creating reality. It is the same process. You don't know how it is done until you do. Sometimes someone can explain it to you and sometimes you figure it out and sometimes you just come to understand and know. Not believe, but know. When that happens I'll let you know. Please do. Although when that happens you won't need to tell me because I will know as soon as you do. And so will everyone else. What? Well I have an idea then. Let's just wait until everyone else knows and then I'll know too. Gotcha there. Yes you do. And of course you are right. That is one way. Of course I don't need to be very psychic to know that's not how it will happen. It's the normal reaction to the confusion thing. It won't let us wait. It makes us do our own inner and outer work. I thought it was too easy. It is much easier than you imagine. That is why you fail to realize how easy it is. TO BE CONTINUED … How Do I Find My Purpose? A dialogue in 9 parts Part 8 Back to the Future
Many eons ago, in a place in the world where kindness was commonplace, there lived a group of monks. Now these monks would spend their entire lives from childhood in an isolated monastery on the side of a large mountain, living a simple life working and studying and meditating from dawn to dusk. They would spend their entire lives in search of the meaning of life. And one day, when they were ready, an elderly Abbot would lead a small group of the most accomplished of them up the mountain to a large cave where they would all sit in a circle. And the Abbot would ask them to tell him the meaning of life. And they would answer to the best of their abilities. "To experience bliss", one said. "To help the less fortunate" said another. "To lead the world to peace and harmony ", "to worship God", "to serve" and so on. And when they had exhausted all the ideas, the Abbot said: "I will tell you the meaning of life". And with rapt attention they awaited his words. You could have heard a pin drop such was their anticipation. He began to speak very slowly. "All you lives you have sought that which you already know and that which already is within your knowing. And you have learned much and one day it will be your time to lead a group such as this. In order to do that you must be yourself a master. You must understand all there is to know and how to instruct others to access this same information I will share with you now. All your lives you have sought to know the meaning of life. And you have done well. For the meaning of life is of course the meaning you give to it. The meaning of life is" And he paused until the silence could be heard around the world. And he clapped his hands together and said: "The meaning of life, is complete control" "Ha" . And with that his hands made a loud clapping noise and he was dead.
Have you ever asked for a "sign' about what you should do? Yes of course. Some time ago, I asked for a sign. The message I received was very clear but I had no idea at the time what it meant. Of course it would soon become clear. Here's what happened. I was 'stuck' at a crossroads in my life and I knew I had to make a change but didn't consciously know what to do or how to do it. So I went into the library, sat down, closed my eyes, took several deep breaths and asked for a sign. And very clearly and unmistakably came into my mind the words "Sun of three moons". I did not know the meaning of the words and went to bed excited about the message and wondering what it meant. That evening I got up in the middle of the night to go to the bathroom and as I passed the patio doors I looked out an in the sky I saw three moons. Three full moons all in a row. I was so excited I woke up my wife and she saw them too. It was not a dream. It was really three moons I saw. Sometime later on I figured out that the beveled glass in the patio doors had created multiple images of the moon but in the moment, I knew something momentous was about to happen. The next day was cloudy. And the following day was sunny. The sun of three moons. It was this day that I received an offer I could not refuse, would not refuse and did not refuse. I accepted and my life has never been the same since. There is of course more to the story. For now the point I wish to make is that we get what we ask for. When we come from a place of calm, a place we might call our soul, we are never refused and always pleased with the result. Always. That's a very nice story and all that but you are still here talking to me and not luxuriating on some yacht or in some mansion somewhere. You are still living what I would call an 'ordinary life'. The life we live is the one we choose. Are you familiar with the Cat Steven's song about the Tiller man and his son. The father operates a ferry to take people across the river and is content with his life of helping others and 'drinking tea'. The son on the other hand is filled with anger and cannot understand his father's way of life. Yeah but you don't even own a boat. A boat, is a metaphor my dear friend. Oh. Are you familiar with the difference between leaders and elders? Well I'm pretty much of a follower myself. Ok. No. Everyone chooses their role in life. Some choose to be followers. Others choose to be leaders. And then there are those who come to be elders. The differences between leaders and elders are many. For example: Leaders talk with other leaders. Elders speak with everyone. Leaders represent their constituents. Elders represent everyone. Leaders take action. Elders observe and follow the path of the unknown river. They know that in the end, the river knows the way. So like are you saying we should do nothing until everything works out in the end anyway? No. I am saying to observe and follow the natural flow according to your soul. According to the elder within you. The what within me? I told you I am a follower. I am the guy who likes to watch TV and have fun. I am not the guy who is a leader or an elder. I vote for other people to do those things. And yes, sure sometimes I don't bother to vote but not voting is a form of voting too. I am the guy who follows orders, the one who gets things done, who makes the world work. Exactly. What? Exactly. You are the one who makes the world work. What? You are the one who makes the world work. I find it hard to believe that what I do makes much difference in the scheme of things and certainly not in how the world works. That's because you are every man. And every woman. You are everyone. You're getting weird on me again. It just seems that way because you are resisting what I am telling you. I'm getting very tired. Sleeping is a way of integrating new information. Sleeping is a way of sleeping. Geese you always make more of something than it is. It is what is it. How we interpret it is, of course, up to us. Let's move on. So what do you mean by the title of this section, "Back to the Future". How we interpret everything is up to us. Including time. Including space. Including God. Including everything. Even excluding everything. Wow. Now that is getting pretty esoteric. Whatever that means. What the hell are you talking about? I am about to tell you some things that you will find difficult to believe. This entire conversation would pretty much fall into that category. The difficulty you have experienced has to do with your beliefs about how things are and about how they should be. You have lived your life relying on your beliefs and only very seldom have you relied on your soul's knowing. It is your way of thinking and living that has led you to be dissatisfied with your life. Ok. so I could be happier. But things aren't all that bad. Besides I'll retire one day and then I'll be happy. Perhaps. Ok. So like what's wrong with working hard all your life and getting to retire and enjoy the rest of your time. What's wrong with that? Nothing. Finally you agree with me. I have never disagreed with you. So why are we having this conversation? So you can find out how to take complete control of your life. Yeah but I am in control of my life. Sort of. Geese. Now I am beginning to answer my own questions before you do. Yeah ok so I am not in charge of my life. It's always someone else making up the rules. And you gave them permission, so in fact, you are in charge. Well things have not exactly turned out the way I thought they would. What would it take for things to turn out the way you would like?
Oh my God. That's the last chapter.
