Have you ever notice that your life turned out exactly like you thought it would.  Not how you hoped it would, but how you thought it would.  That’s because of a phenomenon in the “Being” of being human called the “Drift”.

That Drift usually takes the form of what ever cultural conversation you were born into.  The implications of this are really very fascinating, and a very long conversation.

This next part should really bake your noodle.  

It isn’t even your life anyway, it’s “Its” life and the “You” that you really are is not required for the living of “Its” life.  If you are resisting the domination of the possibility that this brings up, stay with me for a minute.

Consider the possibility that the “You” that you really “are”, shares existence in the realm of the relative with an entity we shall call “It”.  Also consider the possibility that, “It” actually lives the life that “You” think you have.

Saying the same thing in another way: Consider that the “I” in the phase “I” think, “I” want, “I” like, “I” breathe, and “I” feel is not really “You” and is really a deep superstition you have (and this superstition is capable of living life completely without you).  Also consider that this superstition is so deep that you don’t think “It” is not you, you are, that it is you.

“It” wakes you up in the morning.  ”It” brushes your teeth. “It” has kids that it fixes breakfast for. “It” (maybe) has a significant other that it snuggles up to at night. “It” drives to work. “It” has friends. “It” has Your life!

Lets get this notion about the “I” that you are for yourself handled once and for all.  If  ”You” are the “I” that is referenced in the phrase I think, I breath, I feel then “You” stop thinking, “You” stop breathing, “You” stop feeling.  When you find that you can’t, you might want to re-consider the possibility that “It” is not “You” anyway.

If you can “Be” with the “bucket of cold water” that, this fact is (in a way that doesn’t dis-empower you) a space of possibility for a future that didn’t exist (for the “You” that you really are) before then, will begin to open up, inside of which, “You” can play with the question “What do YOU want?”.

Here’s the dose of reality I promised in the beginning: “It” really does have everything else in life handled, freeing the “You” that you really are, to do what ever “You” really want to do in life.

Cup O Joe.

On Happiness – One of my favorite teachers once said. You will never, ever “get” happy. By accident, anything else may leave you feeling happy, but the “pursuit of happiness” is the only guarantee against it. Warner Erhard – Landmark Education

Happy, happy, happy! We all go nuts over the “Pursuit of Happiness”. I agree with Warner. “The Pursuit of Happiness” is the only guarantee against it. Here’s what I mean by that. The very phrase itself is given life from the assumption that you don’t already have it!
