sport

It's not that dream worlds are born when you think new thoughts, but that real worlds are. And right now, this very moment, Lo, you live and breathe in each of them, thinking the others are only pretend, temporary, and fleeting.
Yet in the world of your wildest dreams, Lo, there is one profound difference between it and all of the others. In the world of your wildest dreams, alone, you remember how on this day, reading this very NOTE, you decided to begin seeing the life that then surrounded you as pretend, temporary, and fleeting.

Love you,
The Universe



Pretending is the Master's ultimate sport, Lo.

predicament

The greatest predicament of living in the jungles of time and space, Lo, is learning to be happy while still having unfulfilled dreams.
The greatest challenge, is not looking to the illusions for meaning, definition, and answers.

The greatest mystery, is figuring out who you really are.

And the greatest reward, Lo, of living in the jungles of time and space, is having predicaments, challenges, and mysteries that you have absolutely aced, crushed, and unraveled.

Lucky you,
The Universe


Lo, you are me. You really are.

hyena

Remember long, long ago, when you were considering living the "Potential Adventures of Lo Lee," among an infinite array of other choices, how you suddenly turned to me and asked deadpan, "How much trouble could I get into, anyway?"
Do you?

Do you remember my reply, Lo?

I told you it would depend on a good number of factors, not the least of which would include climate change, geological pressures, celestial weather patterns, the star you're born under, political friction on the street, worthiness, luck, fate, or the mood I'm in.

At which point we both burst out laughing so hard we almost needed stitches.

Like a hyena,
The Universe




Lo, NOTHING can keep you from the life you want. You are soooo worthy.

banking

The prospect of happiness that moves you in the direction of a new dream, Lo, will always pale in comparison to the happiness you find once it comes true.
You can bank on it.

Happy, happy Monday -
The Universe




You have so much more to look forward to, Lo, than you can now possibly imagine... just keep moving.

simple

The best way to find "love," Lo, which, incidentally, is just as true for finding money, is to focus less on these by-products of a life well lived and more on a life well lived.
Simple is as simple does,
The Universe




Dance life's dance, Lo, today, without preconditions.

persistent

Persistent thought is your ticket.

Persistent gratitude makes it easy.

And persistent action, Lo, tells one and all, "There ain't no way, honey, I'm settling for less."

I notice these things.

The Universe




Am I being persistent enough, Lo, or what?

road

Do not judge the journey, Lo, by the path you're now on. Like driving cross-country, you can't possibly know in advance if or where you may encounter detours, hairpin turns, or passing cars passing cars with noses and whatnot pressed to the window. Moreover, little, if any, of the scenery you travel through will remotely resemble the destination you have in mind. Yet neither the "constellations" you see nor the unexpected maneuvers you take will ever mean you aren't headed exactly where you want to go, moving as swiftly as possible, getting closer every flippin' day.

Road trip!
The Universe





Did I cross a line, Lo?

fuss

When you tough it out, hold the line, and stay the course, Lo, I promise you, there will soon come a day when you look back over your shoulder, shake your head in dismay, and seriously wonder what all the fuss was about.

Just like all the other times,
The Universe



In fact, in not so many days from today, Lo, it will become clear as a bell that you did have enough time, that you were never alone, and that all of us in the unseen were working double-time, to help make possible "the time of your life." Yeeeeeehaaaaaaaaaaaaaa! xoxoxo

the second

For every fork in the road, Lo, there are often two paths to choose from... the one you "should" take and the one you want to take.

Take the second. Always take the second.

I did,
The Universe




Man, Lo, could life rock any more than it does?

reminder

Fear not, Lo.

All mis-statements, misunderstandings, and forms of deception... are temporary.

Whishhhhhhhhh!
The Universe





Lo, you shall be exalted. (Just felt like reminding you.)

kitchen

The choice is always simple enough, Lo, clear your plate if you want dessert.

From the kitchen,
The Universe





For the lessons now before you, Lo, are not there by chance.

Ohh-wee-ohh

The thing that most forget while dreamily looking off into the horizon for the ship of their dreams, Lo, is that such ships never sail in, but are actually built beneath their very feet.

Ohh-wee-ohh,
The Universe





Get my drift, Lo?

system

There's always a deeper reason, Lo, for the emotions you feel, the doubts you have, the questions you raise, and the fears you entertain.

It's called "Wanting it all."

What a system, huh?

The Universe



And you are sooooo close, Lo!

desire

A main "Criteria of Consciousness" for the human experience, Lo, is never having all you want. For as one dream comes true, another swiftly takes its place. Not having all you want is one of life's constants.

And learning to be happy while not yet having all you want (which, as you can see, is constant), is the first "Criteria of Joy." Nail it, and for the rest of your life people will be asking what it is about you.

Desire, Lo, is a beautiful thing.

The Universe





Yeah, Lo, as if they weren't asking already.

bells

Did you know that whenever you whisper, "I'm sorry..." to someone quietly in your mind, Lo, someone over here sheds a tear and healing begins?

Did you know that whenever you whisper, "Can I help you..." to someone quietly in your mind, someone over here sheds a tear and an army of angels are sent?

And, did you know that whenever you whisper, "I love you..." to someone quietly in your mind, someone over here sheds a tear, healing begins, an army of angels are sent, and 10,000 bells are rung?

Actually, you even have your own marching band that follows you everywhere....

I love you,
The Universe




Hey, I like bells, Lo....

really

To all things, Lo, there is a single, knowable truth.

There really is.

The Universe




Never settle for less, Lo.

leaves

Asking someone to change, Lo, is like pruning a tree: neither will ever be the same again.

Scarier still, is that you can't quite know in what new directions they'll grow.

But hey, it's still your call.

Tallyho,
The Universe




I wouldn't change a leaf on you, Lo.

irresistable

It is understandably human nature, Lo, to see yourself as small.

Until you stop seeing yourself as just human.

Should be easy for you...
The Universe




You are pure energy, Lo: infinite, inexhaustible, and irresistible.

focus

Do you ever wonder where all those glorious seconds, minutes, and hours go that recently poured through your fingers on an idle weekend or a cool evening, when suddenly you feel like you're racing the clock on some crazed, hurried weekday?

Nowhere. They're still there, Lo, lazing around. They just look different when you focus upon what you haven't done, instead of what you have done.

Your output is legendary,
The Universe



You're way ahead of schedule, Lo....
