The truth doesn’t mean anything.
It just is.
If you keep saying it
The way it really is,
Eventually your word
Is law in the universe.
Humans keep looking for
A truth that fits their reality.
Given our reality,
The truth doesn’t fit.
If you experience it,
It’s the truth.
The same thing believed
Is a lie.
In life,
Understanding is the booby prize.
Obviously this truth is
What’s so
Not so obviously, it’s also
So what.
You don’t get to vote on the way it is.
You already did.
When you’ve said all of the
Bad things and all of the good things
You haven’t been saying,
You will find that what you’ve really
Been withholding is, “I love you.”
You don’t have to go looking for love
When it is where you come from.
If you’re not all right the way you are
It takes a lot of effort to get better.
Realize you’re all right the way you are,
And you’ll get better naturally.
Don’t change beliefs,
Transform the believer.
One creates from nothing.
If you try to create from something
You’re just changing something.
So, in order to create something you
First have to be able to create nothing.
To make sure a person doesn’t find out
Who he is, convince him that he
Can’t really make anything disappear.
All that’s left then is to resist,
Solve, fix, help or change things.
That’s trying to make
Something out of something.
Life is a game.
In order to have a game
Something has to be more important
Than something else.
If what already is,
Is more important than what isn’t
The game is over.
So, life is a game in which what isn’t
Is more important than what is.
Let the good times roll.
I know that you know
That I love you,
What I want you to know
Is that I know
You love me.
Happiness
Is a function of accepting what is.
Love
Is a function of communication.
Health
Is a function of participation.
Self Expression
Is a function of responsibility.
It is much easier to ride the horse
In the direction he’s going.
Life is a ripoff
When you expect to get what you want.
Life works
When you choose what you got.
Actually what you got is what you chose.
To move on, choose it.
Perfection is a state in which
Things are the way they are
And are not the way they are not.
As you can see, this universe is perfect.
Don’t lie about it.
You’re god in your universe,
You caused it.
You pretended not to cause it
So that you could play in it,
And you can remember you caused it
Any time you want to.
This is it.
There are no hidden meanings.
All that mystical stuff
Is just what’s so.
A master is someone who found out.
The essence of communication is intention.
If you could really accept
That you weren’t ok
You could stop proving you were ok.
If you could stop proving
That you were ok
You could get that it was ok not to be ok.
If you could get that it was ok not to be ok
You could get that you were ok the way you are.
You’re ok, get it?
The end is the end,
Or it isn’t.
The end justifies the means,
Or it doesn’t.
If God told you
Exactly what it was you were to do
You would be happy doing it
No matter what it was.
What you’re doing is
What God wants you to do.
Be happy.
