You Are Enough!

If there is one idea I want you to take home and put under your pillow at night, it is this: you are enough.

Yes, you are enough. Although, I have been made aware recently that there are times when being enough may not be enough. For example, buying a luxury car or luxury home. Or a small island or skyscraper or a $5,000 call girl or $15,000 bail. In those cases, you are enough, you just don't have enough. And you won't have the island or the skyscraper. But you will have to spend the next 30 days in lockup.

In fact, I saw on TV that the Bible said somewhere that those who have, get more, and the poor get screwed out of what little they already have.

So the answer is simple: you don't need to be more. You need to have more!

So how do you get more, and will it be enough? How much is enough? Well, I don't know, but I do know some great news. You can have everything you want! Love! Skyscrapers! Bail! You can have it all!* So if there's one message I want you to take home and put under your pillow at night, it's this: Have more!

(*In limited quantities. The universe makes no guarantees regarding the quality of all you have. What the universe provides you may or may not be in close proximity to your physical presence on earth. It may or may not be in your physical possession. The universe is not liable for any or all ironic results of having it all, including but not limited to: ennui, taxes, hubris, sexually transmitted diseases, depression, oddness, newfound awareness of spiritual emptiness, or mooching friends who abandon you when you lose it all.)

On Karmic Retribution

I don't believe in guilt, but I do believe in the concept of karma, the universe's brand of justice.

The concept of guilt is , I believe, an outdated one. The next time you feel "guilty" of what you've done to someone, remember that in those instances, you are merely a vessel through which the universe dispenses karmic justice. I other words, you are their karma. And the severity of your actions matches the severity of that person's "crime."

For example, let's say you beat senseless the referee of your precious child's hockey game for a senseless high sticking call. What that means is that the referee must have beat another referee senseless for a senseless high sticking call. But should you be held liable for the referee's hospital bill and serve time? If one impregnates a woman during a one-night stand, she must have gotten a woman pregnant, either in this life or a past one. Should I be held responsible for child support? To both questions, our flawed legal system says yes, but the universe says no.
