THE ESSENSE, The Nittus Grittus

If you are unhappy, be unhappy. 
Do not judge yourself for being that way. 
It is wonderful to be unhappy, it is God expressing emotion. 
Love your unhappiness. It means you are ready for change. 
You are ready to go forward, yet you mourn for the old; 
you are not ready to let go. 
 Allow the unhappiness, there is purposefulness in it.

Remove from your life everything that inhibits you
from being the totality of yourself. That is called "becoming". 
Remove from your thoughts the entire have to's, should's, must's. 
Remove the images you think you must be and just be.

Embrace your life. Know that you created it. 
Love all that you have been, said and done. 
Know it was all purposeful.

Never see anything as a failure. 
See everything as an accomplishment. 
Love the hurt, the pain, the sorrow. 
For what an experience! What wonderment! 
What jewels of wisdom are now in your treasure!

Be your own teacher, friend, and counsel. 
Confide in yourself, speak to yourself.

Seek answers that feel right within your soul. 
Your soul knows what the truth is, 
and it will tell you through feelings. 
Always listen to your feelings. They know ... they know.

Live, experience, feel. Do not seek to identify yourself. 
You will never have a point of understanding from which you
can say, "This is who I am!” for in each expanding moment
of consciousness, of being God, who you are will have 
changed into the next moment of being. 
To know who you are to feel what you feel each moment.

Never do anything, no matter how far you are into it, 
if you lose the joy of it and it becomes monotonous and mundane. 
Do away with it and do something else that brings happiness. 
For perhaps what you needed to learn from it 
you have already achieved. 
Go wherever you want to go, 
Do whatever you want to do, 
for as long as you want to.

Create only for the mere joy of creating. 
When you create for you, you will soon find yourself living in joy.

Don't ever strive to have anyone understand you. 
If they wish to understand, they will.

Love everyone. Have compassion for all other entities. 
You do not need to go and take care of them. 
Love them by allowing them to express however they choose. 
That is the greatest thing you can do! 
If they are angered or disappointed by your life, love them
 by allowing them to be that way. 
Then you have become a great god, a great light!
