Winning and Losing


I am so happy and grateful now that I have money coming to me through multiple sources in increasing quantities on a continuous basis so that I may pursue my more primitive primary goal of being a teacher and artist of expression. I have been blessed with the ability to connect to a source that is much greater than myself. I have no clue why I have been given this gift other than because it is for this gift that. I have searched for and it has taken quite some time to develop and though I haven’t developed it completely I have developed it to a level that is makes it attainable under favorable conditions. It is the development of this gift that will enable me to attain the source even under stressful situation or better yet, what used to be stressful situations. I will be capable of complete calm and total consciousness even in the presence of danger, or worse, trying to perform for people who are watching.  It is the understanding that this life is no more than a game that allows you to realize that there is no reason to have stress. What are you stressed about; some peering eyes that will judge you? What difference does it make? The main person you need to worry about judging you is yourself. That is the enemy. The judgment of oneself, whether it is good or bad is ultimately to the determent of the individual because it takes him away from the very thing that led him to that point whether it be victory or defeat. It is about the battle for, the journey toward, the pursuit of, happiness. The glorification of either as a definition of who you are is incorrect. You are neither a winner nor a loser. You are that thing which wins or loses, but to identify as either a winner or a loser will certainly lead up to a perception correction because under no circumstances will any human maintain that label indefinitely, that is unless they just conclude they are a loser in which case they will likely prevail at indefinite losses or they may decide not to play at all, which will create an entirely different set of problems. Identifying as a winner, loser or spectator, places in the mind a sense of superiority and any sense of this is felt by others and immediately rejected. We are all divine creatures who should be treated as well as we would wish to be treated. Humility is a strong character quality in the presence of others. Pride is a fault not long followed by failure.
