Received from a friend, who received from a friend, who received from a friend, and so on backward infinitum:
Rules for Being Human
© You will receive a body. You may like it or hate it, but it will be with you for the entire period.
© You will learn lessons. You are enrolled in a full-time informal school called LIFE. Each day in this school you will have the opportunity to learn lessons. You may like the lessons or think them irrelevant.
© There are no mistakes, only lessons. Growth is a process of trial and experimentation. The "failed" experiments are as much a part of the process as the experiment that ultimately "works."
© A lesson is repeated until it is learned. A lesson will be presented to you in various forms until you have learned it. You can then go on the next lesson.
© Learning lessons does not end. There is no part of life that does not contain it’s lessons. If you are alive, there are lessons to be learned.
© "There" is no better than "Here." When your "There" has become a "Here", you will simply obtain another "There" that will again look better than "Here."
© Others are merely mirrors of you. You cannot love or hate something about another person unless it reflects to you something you love, or hate about yourself.
© What you make of life is up to you. You have all of the tools and resources you need. What you do with them is up to you. The choice is yours.
© Your answers lie inside of you. The answers to life’s questions lie inside of you. All you need to do is look, listen and trust.
© You will forget all of this.
The Rez
. . . how did all those little "c"s get in there?
. . . "and go round and round and round in The Circle Game."
