You must have a room,
or a certain hour or so a day,
where you don't know what was in the newspaper that morning,
you don't know who your friends are,
you don't know what you owe anybody,
you don't know what anybody owes you.
This is a place where you can simply experience and bring forth
what you are and what you might be.
Often people attempt to live their lives backwards;
they try to make more things, or more money,
in order to do more of what they want, so they will be happier.
The way it actually works is in reverse.
You must first be who you really are,
then do what you need to do,
in order to have what you want.
