Rules For Being Human

1. You will receive a body. You may like it or hate it, but it's the only thing you are sure to keep for the rest of your life.
2. You will learn lessons. You are enrolled in a full-time informal school called "Life on Planet Earth". Every person or incident is the Universal Teacher.
3. There are no mistakes, only lessons. Growth is a process of experimentation. "Failures" are as much a part of the process as "success."
4. A lesson is repeated until learned. It is presented to you in various forms until you learn it -- then you can go on to the next lesson.
5. If you don't learn easy lessons, they get harder. External problems are a precise reflection of your internal state. When you clear inner obstructions, your outside world changes. Pain is how the universe gets your attention.
6. You will know you've learned a lesson when your actions change. Wisdom is practice. A little of something is better than a lot of nothing.
7. "There" is no better than "here". When your "there" becomes a "here" you will simply obtain another "there" that again looks better than "here."
8. Others are only mirrors of you. You cannot love or hate something about another unless it reflects something you love or hate in yourself.
9. Your life is up to you. Life provides the canvas; you do the painting. Take charge of your life -- or someone else will.
10. You always get what you want. Your subconscious rightfully determines what energies, experiences, and people you attract -- therefore, the only foolproof way to know what you want is to see what you have. There are no victims, only students.
11. There is no right or wrong, but there are consequences. Moralizing doesn't help. Judgments only hold the patterns in place. Just do your best.
12. Your answers lie inside you. Children need guidance from others; as we mature, we trust our hearts, where the Laws of Spirit are written. You know more than you have heard or read or been told. All you need to do is to look, listen, and trust.
13. You will forget all this.

Wow, I like this...Be nice if it were followed more often huh?

Yark....I have a feeling nobody will. Or they will say bad things about it.

Yeah this stuff is a little too hard to apply to our lives, but it has some helpful suggestions.

"there is no right or wrong" that's true, in a war there is no 'evil' side, war is just two sides holding opposing ideas.

wow, the "you always get what you want" stuff is pretty deep. If you will something to happen subconsciously, it will happen.

??? How is it too hard?

Well, a lot of those things are explained as "unchangable". For example, my body can't change. I will learn new things no matter what. Everything will come about when they are meant to happen and there is almost nothing I can do.

Although, the "there and here" comment can be learnt from. Be happy wherever you are!

besides:

13: you will forget all this.

Don't get me wrong though, you can ALWAYS improve yourself and make things better no matter what.

I must really hate myself.

I didn't even write this thing...it was in a book.

Rivermonster - February 27, 2003 05:29 PM (GMT)
Heh, am I the only one to see humor in Kitsu's post?

Lila - February 28, 2003 02:25 AM (GMT)
Eh....sorta....explain it.

iggy - February 28, 2003 02:41 AM (GMT)
Yeah that is pretty funny!

8. Others are only mirrors of you. You cannot love or hate something about another unless it reflects something you love or hate in yourself.

If you hate someone else for one thing, then you must hate yourself for something opposite. Kitsu hates a bunch of people, so in turn she hates herself (because we're all just mirrors of eachother).

Example: I hate how people are bad at spending their money, but in turn I hate myself for not having much money of my own.
