What does it take to make life work?

I 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?

Got 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 who's life you touch on the way in which you touch.

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, you you think of us, 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 gotta do stuff to earn love and you have to do stuff to make relationships work at 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 struggled 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 to me to demonstrate that I already have all of that, that I am the source of it, that 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 in strained 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 Needs 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 amazing thing that will happen.

People will suddenly look atyou for first.

They'll say, What do you want?

What are you smoking?

But after they get that No, this is the new U.

This is to transform 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 toe hold about herself?

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, Zed, you can embrace that thought about others as well.
