As you look at these pictures, you're going to come away with impressions based on what you know,
how you feel about what you're looking at, and your overall perceptions, but that's the way it is.
Moving on, when you're uneducated as I am, what you say is based mostly on your knowledge and experiences.
You say or you write, but your words do not care the weight of authority, and that is so liberating.
The freedom to say what's on your mind without seeking permission or the need to qualify your words or thoughts is exciting.
It is liberating.
What I am about to say comes from me, but you, the listener, must decide on its worth.
For example, let's take the state of mind universally known as depression.
I'm not an expert, just an uneducated observer of life who happens to love you and all the people worldwide.
How can I say that I love all people because I do?
I can, with my sense of authority, because it is my experience.
I don't make mistakes of not loving someone because of their behavior or lack of character.
I see one's behavior as just that, and I discriminate.
So, I shy away from a person with bad behavior as a matter of discriminating.
Not because I don't love the natural human being, but because of my decision not to be exposed to negative vibrations.
A creation of that person with a bad behavior.
I love the person, I hate the behavior and attitude.
I'm fortunate that I never meet ugly people, just people with ugly attitudes and behavior.
But, I'm getting away from my point.
It's a characteristics of the uneducated, you know, to get away from your point.
Anyway, where was I?
Oh yes, depression.
I think that there are only two types.
The clinical depression which I cannot address, of course, since I'm never exposed to that degree of depression.
But, there's also the everyday type of depression.
Being in the company of one who states without prompting, I am depressed.
In almost every case, the cause of such a statement is the proclamation of the state.
In other words, their state of being, their state of mind.
Words are very, very powerful.
When we decree a state of being, I think we claim that state for ourselves.
Words, as I said, are very powerful.
If you say, I am poor, I am sick, I am ugly, I am angry, I am upset.
These two words, I am, are the most powerful proclamation of self that one can ever state.
You are what you say you are, and nature follows your decree.
You ought to watch what you say after you have proclaimed those two words.
I am.
When I'm in the company of someone who states, I am depressed,
they have chosen not to see their own beauty.
They have chosen not to embrace their own intelligence.
They have chosen not to see the glorious, beautiful, spectacular day that has been provided for them.
They have chosen not to see and appreciate their own power to decree anything from the universe.
They have decreed a negative state of being.
They have chosen what they have decreed.
So, today, what did you say after you said, I am?
