On this
day of your life,
Neytiri &Jake, I believe God wants you to know...
...that the greatest enemy of individual freedom
is the
individual himself.
Saul Alinsky said that, and he was right. In almost every
case, nothing is stopping you, nothing is holding you back
but your own thoughts about yourself and about "how life is."
Your personal freedom to experience yourself and life
as you wish is not being limited. Step into your choices
and stop telling yourself that you can't, when what you
really mean is that you don't want other people to feel the
way you think that are going to feel when they see you making the choices you really want to make. Got it?

On this
day of your life,
Neytiri & Jake, I believe God wants you to know...
...that no one does anything they do not want to do.
I know, I know...this is a difficult one. But it is true. Yet
this does not mean no one wants your help, or that no one
could use your help. It simply means the thought that another
Aspect of Divinity is powerless without you is inaccurate.
Do not do something, therefore, because you think someone
else needs you. That only builds resentment. Do whatever
you do as a means of deciding, declaring, creating, and
experiencing who you are--and who you choose to be. Then
you will never feel victimized, powerless, or without choice.
Yes? You see how simple it all is? Get out of victimhood.

Neytiri & Jake, I believe God wants you to know...
...that happiness, that grand mistress of the
ceremoniesin the dance of life, impels us through all its mazes and meandering,
but leads none of us by the same route.
Charles Caleb Colton said that, and he was right. Therefore,
since there is no One Way to find happiness, why not
find it the way that appeals most to you?
Why not follow your passion ---
even if others tell you that you are crazy for trying it?
Is someone telling you that now?
Don't listen. Don't listen to that!
The voice of caution knows nothing of real joy.
What joy is there in doing what there was
no doubt you could do? Where's the excitement in that?
Hey, try something that you could fail at. Now that's living.

On this
day of your life,
Neytiri & Jake, I believe God wants you to know...
...that the sage awakes to light in the night of all creatures.
That which the world calls day is the night of ignorance to the wise..
The Bhagavad Gita says that, and it is right. This scripture
means that when all creatures are living in the illusion of darkness,
the sage sees things as they really are, and awakes to that vision,
praising the perfection.
Conversely, what the world calls "day" (or "bright" or "real") is
an illusion...the "night of ignorance"...to the wise person
who sees how pointless and worthless the shiny stuff
of life that most people seek truly is.
Peer deeply into the darkness, then, and you will see the light.
Yet turn away from the brightness of what others call "day",
for they mistake the bright for the good.
