if you're god then you
clarify it help me out here
what does it take to make life work
i can remember sitting on the
couch crying out at four o'clock in the
morning
what do you want from me
what
don't i get here
god said
neil it's really very simple you think
your life is about you
and your life has nothing to do with you
it's about everyone whose life you touch
and the way in which you touch it
my life isn't about me
yes it's about universal you in the
sense that you and everyone else are one
but it's not about
individual localized you the you you
think of as neil
i've given you everything you need
you simply haven't used what i've given
you
compassion
awareness
intelligence
indeed wisdom
clarity
understanding
generosity
all the wonderful things you think of as
being supremely human
but you have imagined
that your life is about you
so you think you've got to somehow
gather
these things you think you don't have or
someone find a way to make yourself
secure in a world that doesn't see you
as who you really are
so you've got to do stuff to earn money
you've got to do stuff to earn love and
you have to do stuff to make
relationships work and all these things
you have to do and all you would really
have to do if you really got it was just
be who you are the divine being who you
are
and use life's events as opportunities
with which to do that and if you simply
did that you would find that everything
else that you thought you had to strain
for and stress for and struggle for
would fall in on you automatically
i began to live my life as if my life
had nothing to do with me as if i needed
nothing required nothing
lacked nothing
demanded nothing
even in a sense requested nothing
but simply chose to use the days and
times the minutes the hours the events
of my life as opportunities for me to
demonstrate that i already have all of
that that i am the source of it but i am
not
looking for some other person place or
event to source it to me but that i am
the source
of all the things i thought i needed to
struggle and strain for
i need nothing from you
not your admiration
not your love not your approval
certainly not your physical
things i don't need your money
i don't need your car i don't need your
house i don't need your body
i don't need anything honestly i need
nothing from you
and the extraordinary thing about that
is should you live your life that way
even a few hours here or there that way
it's an amazing thing that will happen
people will suddenly look at you first
they'll say what are you on
what are you smoking
after they get that no this is the new
you this is the transformed view this is
the evolved you you finally after all
these years figured out what you're
doing here
can you believe the highest thought you
ever dared to hold about yourself
and then
if you actually embrace and hold that
thought
as your truth i'm not making it up i'm
not imagining it i'm not spinning out
here this is actually what's true about
me
then
when you embrace that highest grandest
thought you ever had about yourself
then
you can embrace that thought about
others as well
you
