There are people in your life who are never wrong. With the blame for everything being external, there is this total commitment to being right.

This common and powerful delusion is caused by a total service to ego identity. Lacking faith in anything other than their own ego, admitting any form of imperfection feels akin to self-destruction. 

Ego-centeredness (self-centerdness) destroys relationships by making everyone wrong and guilty. To defend against the perceived threat of ego-frailty, no insult or attack is too great. Everyone around must be made lesser for them to feel superior. The problem is also clear at work. These people are very difficult to employ because they take no accountability. It's everyone else's fault and to suggest anything else is perceived as a personal attack. 

Yet how they insult, attack, and cause drama yet none of it is this seen as a mistake. Apology and course-correction is impossible. Kindness is also impossible because there is always a negotiation in play to take and get more. To this type of person, there is only one goal: building up a grandiose ego identity. It doesn't matter if they know nothing about a particular topic, they are the expert. Doesn't matter if their relationships are a disaster, it's someone else's fault. The company is losing money, blame a colleague or even the customers. The rest of us only exist to validate their need to make their own egos more important than anything else in life.

When you think about it, this is psychopathic behavior. Common, but psychopathic nonetheless. As a wife or husband, their partners are made to live in guilt, fear, and trauma. As a parent, children are used to build up their own image of success. All of life becomes a game to look important, rich, attractive, smarter, more well-travelled, whatever it may be--and to this individual, those attributes where they see themselves as strong are all that matter. 

What can be done to change such a person? Nothing, really. So fixated on this one goal, they would sacrifice anyone, anything, or any situation at the altar of their own ego. If you confront the person, they will either cut you out of their life or claim to need more time to work on it. They will claim that they are doing better, working on it, making progress. Yet the same behaviors continue, and nothing really changes because the thought assumptions haven't changed. 

When we humble ourselves and realize that we are not special, life opens up, flows, and feels lighter. Love becomes our natural, uninterrupted state. When ego thoughts subside, we serve higher ideals. We value who and what we have. We serve. We take care of ourselves and look within, accepting that there will always be problems in the external world but none of it is actually real.

But the determined, inflexible psychopath will never choose to change. They are blind to life's beautiful dimensions that can only be found if and when they do.

Sacrifice of ego-identity is ultimately a personal choice and only tends to happen when there is a crisis. But even then, most people don't make the transition. The most difficult thing to understand is that there is no changing a psychopath. You can only stop playing their games, work on your own spiritual development, and accept the consequence that you are likely going to lose the person. As difficult as this is, the cost of sacrificing your life on the altar of someone else's ego is too great. 

Perfect love is possible, both within yourself and when shared with another similar person. Do not fear psychopaths, play by their rules, and sacrifice this eternal present moment for the benefits of any arrangement or situation. God and reality, itself, have something superior for you beyond the bounds of ego.

Some people say that they don't care what people think. I truly mean it.

To care what anyone else thinks is to give them control over your life. It also adds layers of confusion into your thinking. One person might react this way, another that way.

How can you be sure what to do or say? How can you even know what anyone is thinking or if they are even thinking of you at all?

Better to care what you think and believe about yourself.

• Am I being loving?
• Generous?
• Forgiving?
• Honest?
• Am I willing to tell a necessary truth?
• Am I fighting for a better future for my children and grandchildren?
• Am I creating value at work and doing the job I am paid to do?
• Am I fair to everyone, even my enemies?
• Do I see myself as an equal to all brothers and sisters?
• Do I generally want to make people feel good and set them free?
• Do I feel good and am I happy?
• Am I in a state of internal peace?

When I can answer those questions to my satisfaction, I don't care how anyone else reacts to me.

Your thoughts and reactions are about you, while I am free. I am good. I welcome anyone and everyone with open arms if there is respect going both ways.

But if you are the kind of person who cares what people think...here's what I do think of you: if you seek these types of positive ideals, you have my admiration! To the extent that you fall short in terms of basic human values, I hope and pray for a change of heart. What are you doing with your life? You aren't shining your truth. You can do so much better, and your life could be wonderful. As it is, I don't think you are happy. You are suffering.

Now stop caring what I think and fix that. You are capable of healing yourself and fixing your world in love, truth, and freedom. The real truth about you is that you were born perfect and remain so. 

Everything I had built up crumbles into dust, leaving only the truth of me and my life standing. My crash and my awakening.

They say some topics are sacred. Which means we don't talk about it. I talk about it here. Deep breath.

On falling madly in love with a high school exchange student, college basketball recruiting, traveling to Europe, and marrying my High School sweetheart. 

Every lie must go. Everything must now change.

Out with the systems and institutions which have enslaved us financially, which have captured our minds through fear, and which were designed to slowly kill us.

While the end result will be your freedom, prosperity, and healing, you will not reach this state without letting go of all that which needs to first go. Dramatic change can feel terrifying, but do not be afraid.

To survive in the now fading old world, the one constructed to domesticate and enslave each of us, it was necessary to play along with very sick games if only to survive. We desperately sought money for a little safety or a shred of enjoyment. But because of tax and other forms of systematic theft (money printing), there was never quite enough money to build any sort of life. 

We also had to fit in just to get a job or maintain any relationships. So, we accepted satanic entertainment, news consisting of 100% lies, a healthcare system intentionally murdering us, food to make us sick and obese, and schools to indoctrinate us to play along and question nothing.

Now the sick world is dying. Markets are crashing. Truth is being exposed. Wars are ripping away any sense of safety. 

The impulse is to try to hold on, but the right thing to do now is to let go. Nothing real can be lost. If it can be threatened or taken away, it wasn't real to begin with. What is real? Nature. Life itself. The eternal present moment. The way you feel. Your state of being. Love. Truth. Focus on that.

If you, instead, focus on holding onto everything false that is being taken away, you will never be in the proper state to embrace and enjoy everything wonderful that is yours now and eternally. Let all illusions fall. Keep reality close to your heart and learn to love it. If you can do this, you will weather any storm and come out the other side in a perfect position.

Find love within. Extend it to those in your life. Forgive and let go of evil and wrongs. Embrace reality and be grateful for this present moment, where right now there are no problems. This is the switch from a life of mind-based, ego-based fiction to a life rooted in reality, truth, and love (which all means the same thing). Worldly disasters offer the best opportunities to eliminate sickness, lies, and suffering from your life. Let's do our best and our best will certainly be good enough. What is real cannot be threatened.

For the first time in so many years, I find myself in a state where it seems nothing more needs to be said. I could analyze every detail about what's going on in the world; but I have no firsthand intel. I will leave this to others who have access or are more inclined.

Everything I have said about spiritual awakening, perfect love, the need to shift away from fear, about freedom, truth, reality...of course it all remains true and relevant now and always. There are hundreds of posts, books, talks, and all of it remains perfectly relevant.

I have stopped living in time, waiting for the world to change. As changes happen, I am paying attention. But waiting for fiction to end only makes the fiction seem real. Instead, we can focus on what is real now and always.

What I am here to live and teach is perfect love; what it is and what it does. Bring unconditional love into your relationships and find that they become holy, eternal, blissful. Bring perfect love into your work and enjoy financial abundance. Know that perfect love means the same thing as honesty, forgiveness, acceptance, freedom, health, bliss, and reality. Live in alignment with perfect love, in the eternal present moment, and you will feel good and be freed from fear. 

This is salvation, and it is here now for anyone who chooses to recognize that you already have everything. There is nothing to wait for. If the world changes for the better, that's wonderful. If evil deeds are being stopped, we can all be grateful. If we are one day freed from this system of propaganda and debt slavery, we can celebrate. But even if current events take a turn for the worst, the truly awake remain in a place of joy and safety.

There is nothing to wait for and nothing to fear. What's true is always true and always was true. 

“How simple is salvation! All it says is what was never true is not true now, and never will be. The impossible has not occurred, and can have no effects. And that is all.”

-A Course in Miracles

Fear is the belief that something real can be lost. The compulsive urge to hold onto situations, things, or people is confusion about reality.

That which can be changed, lost, or threatened was never real to begin with. Similarly, that which is true cannot be made untrue.

The peace of God is this deeper recognition of reality. The idea of losing our status, losing a job, losing our physical health—even losing a loved one—is what keeps us up at night. That urge to hold on—it is what drives us to push through a waking life devoid of joy, pleasure, and beauty.

The problem is that everything in physical form, in the realm of our senses, in the field of matter—it all changes. Maybe slowly, maybe suddenly, but the truth is it will leave us eventually.

Salvation is the ability to accept what is real.

Your creativity is the source of value. This is what generates abundance in every situation (not one particular job). Love and connection between souls is the ultimate truth (not one particular relationship). Stay aware of what is real.

Reality is consciousness, awareness itself. It is the energy of life, the unchanging laws of nature. Love is the whole truth. This all means the same thing.

Fear, frustration, boredom, anger—all negative emotions are caused by confusion over reality. To shift focus on reality and to always forgive non-reality is to find that state of ongoing joy and perfect love, absent of fear.

We are powerless against truth / reality. All power is found in the embrace of it and the rejection of all that is false.

This is spiritual awakening, the death of the ego. Herein lies everything we truly want and truly are. What is real is eternal.
