"Rules of Light For the Living"

LIVING RULE #1

Be good. Engrave it in your mind that life is just one big board game where you got to make it from start to finish by being good. That is all you have to do. The only hard part, is dealing with all the obstacles that prevent smooth sailing. Always be the right person, regardless of cost. Do the right thing, regardless of personal cost to you. Your aim is to make sure the right book on your shoulder weighs more that the bad book on the left. The scales are real. The mission is simple.

LIVING RULE #2

Learn to float your own boat. After you die, the world will keep turning and the ants will move on. Yesterday is irrelevant. Nobody cares what you wore yesterday or what car you drove. Nobody cares about your bills because they aren't the ones paying them and they don't care about your sick niece as much as you do because it's not their blood. And when you die, only the new paths you paved will be relevant. Float on in life just being you. Wear the same shirt in a row, be an artist, take any job to get by to do what you want. Nobody cares in the end so don't live for them. Make a difference for yourself. Become successful for yourself. Don't live to impress. In the end, you will find the people you lived to impress were not worth impressing. Live to float in your own individual vessel - the right way. FLOAT your own boat - in the RIGHT direction. The herd is not necessarily right, nor where they park their boats. Float right. Float on. Here today, gone tomorrow. Today you got to be different to make a difference. Time to BE! Be yourself. Don't brand yourself like the sheep unless you are one. Creating your vessel is your own personal art project.

LIVING RULE #3

Eliminate the word HATE and replace it with LOVE. The words: hate, hatred, hating, haters, hate that, hate this...and so forth. Stop people when they say them. Stop people from expressing any of those words in action. Make the word HATE as old as GROOVY. The word LOVE has been proven to be the most beautiful word. Learn to use it and put in action - any which way you can.

LIVING RULE #4

Love is the sister to Truth, but they differ in two ways. You must go to Truth to find her. She will never come looking for you. However, you are never to go looking for her sister Love. Love will find you in your own divine timing, when you are ready for her. So don't look, she will come. She always does.

LIVING RULE #5

You should never force Time the same way you should never force Love. When you actively seek out relationships or events to happen, you are pushing against the cosmic order and ignoring your divine timing. Anything that goes against the natural flow of the universe has reprecautions, or negative reactions. If people didn't make things happen by force or artificially (man-made), the same way as they don't force themselves to find somebody, there would be harmony in the universe and less divorces. Don't force the divine gifts of the universe to give anything to you, and don't look for instant gifts. Float your boat in the direction you want, with thoughts of what you want, and let the Divine push them your way. Be gracious always. For every hurdle you overcome, a disguised treasure awaits around the corner. Have faith. Live for the treasures in the now and in the future. Every gift and hurdle serves a purpose until the finish line.Until then, float on.

LIVING RULE #6

Know the worth of the true minerals of the universe. Water is the real gold. Protect it. Preserve it. Share it. Make it go around so that no man is ever denied water. Water should be pure and served freely to all living beings without cost or measure. Do not allow it to be monopolized. It is a gift from the Heavens and without it we cannot survive. Never deny a thirsty man water. Provide it freely and graciously because every tongue you wetten with dew from your hand, is dew that will be gifted to your children. Have faith in water to remedy your souls. Pour it on your heads everyday. We are composed of water and its molecules are in the air we breathe. Drink to your health and share the true wealth.

LIVING RULE #7

Don't consume what you don't need and don't need what you can't eat. As a capitalistic country, we are so progressive to make our bucks, or look like we have bucks, that we don't enjoy what we have now. We buy into unneeded new editions, upgrades, new versions, new labels, and the bigger and better of everything that we don't stop to question if we really need what we are buying. A Capitalistic machine hums in the cash "I" state of mind, not for the "We", so every business is naturally programmed to suck the consumer for his last dollar. It's this rapid movement into the future that's destroying us, killing our environment, and raping the Earth of it's resources at super unnatural speed. Don't be fooled by all that is masked green! Everyone wants the latest and the greatest that nobody enjoys what they have in the present - or the people around them. We need to seriously EVOLVE, but our technology is rapidly advancing before we do! We have become so dependent on what is not real that we have neglected all that really is. When we start putting more value in the manpower of a machine than in humans, we will see the last of this age as we now know it. Enjoy the now. Don't buy into the upgrade if it serves no immediate value. The only thing you should invest in is traveling to rotate your perspectives, spreading goodness, and in drinking knowledge. Buy Truth for your mind.
