THE RULES FOR BEING HUMAN

  • YOU WILL RECEIVE A BODY:
  • You may like it or hate it, but it will be yours for the entire period this time around.
  • YOU WILL LEARN LESSONS:
  • You are enrolled in a full-time informal school called Life. Each day in this school you will have the opportunity to learn. You may like the lessons or think them irrelevant or stupid.
  • THERE ARE NO MISTAKES, ONLY LESSONS:
  • Growth is a process of trial and error: experimentation. The "failed" experiments are as much a part of the process as the experiment that works.
  • A LESSON IS REPEATED UNTIL IT IS LEARNED:
  • A lesson will be presented to you in various forms until you have learned it. When you have, you can go on to the next lesson.
  • THE LEARNING OF LESSONS DOES NOT END:
  • There is no part of the school of Life that does not contain its lessons. If you are alive, there are lessons to be learned.
  • "THERE"
  • IS NO BETTER THAN "HERE":
    When your there has become a here, you will simply obtain another there that will again look better than here.
  • OTHERS ARE MERELY MIRRORS OF YOU:
  • You cannot love or hate something about another person unless it reflects something you love or hate about yourself.
  • WHAT YOU MAKE OF YOUR LIFE IS UP TO YOU:
  • You have all the tools and resources you need. What you do with them is up to you. The choice is yours.
  • YOUR ANSWERS LIE INSIDE YOU:
  • All you need do is look, listen and trust.
  • YOU WILL FORGET ALL THIS.
  • YOU CAN REMEMBER IT WHENEVER YOU WANT.
