"You help me put the pieces together."
"You gave me what I was looking for."
"You're an angel."
"You're different."
"I feel clear, full and rich after speaking to you."
"You shine bright like the sun (or a star)."
"You were sent by the heavens."
People are looking for symbols, for idols, for guidance, some kind of sign or clue. And they can tell when they've found one.
Next time someone says you're not of this world, you might as well believe them.

"Only after accepting the irrefutable virtuality of a situation as the truth can it be handled appropriately.
If something falls, we have to accept that it is fallen before we can decide to pick it up again."

Take the next smallest step until the next smallest step is breakthrough, transformation, success.
Make a gradual approach to the edge of sublimity.
Find the tipping point and lean just a bit further.
Make it happen.
Transition standing to walking:
Shift your weight from one foot to the other.
Take the next smallest step, bend one of your knees.
Next smallest step, lift your foot off the ground.
Next smallest step, extend your foot out to the front.
Next smallest step, shift your weight again,
until the next smallest step becomes making the step.
Repeat.

Suspension increases leading up to the point of maximum resistance until gently, invisibly, you roll over the threshold and fall into dynamic movement.

Make change effortless.
Make change incremental.

The Parable of the Raft
A man is trapped on one side of a fast-flowing river. Where he stands, there is great danger and uncertainty - but on the far side of the river, there is safety. But there is no bridge or ferry for crossing. So the man gathers logs, leaves, twigs, and vines and is able to fashion a raft, sturdy enough to carry him to the other shore. By lying on the raft and using his arms to paddle, he crosses the river to safety.
The Buddha then asks the listeners a question: “What would you think if the man, having crossed over the river, then said to himself, ‘Oh, this raft has served me so well, I should strap it on to my back and carry it over land now?’” The monks replied that it would not be very sensible to cling to the raft in such a way.
The Buddha continues: “What if he lay the raft down gratefully, thinking that this raft has served him well, but is no longer of use and can thus be laid down upon the shore?”
The monks replied that this would be the proper attitude.
The Buddha concluded by saying, “The dharma too is like a raft. It serves the purpose of crossing over, not the purpose of grasping."

To all who doubt at times.
In this deeply interdependent world our idiot brains somehow still manage to make us feel alone, unheard, weak and useless. If-s and But-s, habits and subconscious patterns can have us ending up in a weird place energetically.
Things often appear more complicated in our heads than they really are.
A full stop can be a good remedy against cycles that lead nowhere.
Stopping allows us to enter neutral ground. From that place of inhibition, we can make a new decision.
How about stepping out of that air-headed drift into the present moment?
Step into what's a relevant actuality, right now.

- Perception determines experience and the ability to take initiative. Make perception sharp and clear. Cut through delusions without mercy.
- Past actions have brought you here, future goals call for your action in the present. What do you need to do? Act swiftly and without hesitation.
- What you deem possible determines potential outcome. Form a detailed vision. Re-form it as you grow.
- Whether you're successful depends on whether you try. Don't leave any potential untouched.
- Pressure creates diamonds. Push yourself, but don't make yourself suffer.
- Discomfort is a pointer at your potential to grow. Bathe in it with great pleasure.
- You're NEVER alone.
Staying in a mindset of feeling left behind and isolated is like denying the colony behind the queen ant
(and for losers).
We don't do that here.

Hold your crown up high.
You're only ever facing the challenges you chose for yourself.
If anyone can go through this, it's you.
