Bang, The Big
You are a highly organized matrix of big bang.
You are the universe.
You are the worldand everything that’s in it.
You are a highly organized matrix of big bang…
…and stardust.
Within you is the Light of a Thousand Suns.
- Robert Adams
You are part of the slimy film coating a rock adrift in the inky blackness of space.
The slime, the rock, and you share a common ancestry in that you are the very
fabric of the universe itself.
The brain creates the mind.
(Where do we come from? Who are we? Where are we going?)
D'où venons nous? Que sommes-nous? Où allons-nous?
Paul Gauguin, 1897

What is happiness?
Don’t pursue happiness.
Create it!
Some humble suggestions.
1. Recognize the miracle.(Accept the damn gift.)
The clock is ticking.
2. Relinquish control(Don’t try to use the external
to fix the internal.)
If you are trying to avoid pain...
…then pain is running your life.
2. Accept control
You don’t need anyone’s permission.
Only you can write the script of your life.
Don’t let anyone else hold the pen.
3. The voices in your headare fearful.
“All life is suffering.”
-- Buddha
Fear is the universal language of the psyche.
It is the root cause of all negative thoughts and
emotions.
Your psyche is built ofvapor to which you cling to create a sense of stability.
So the path to happiness is lit by
broadening your focus.
4. Find the True You.(The One Who Sees All)
You are not your thinking mind.
You are the one who is aware of your thinking
mind.
5. Stay out of the garbage.
(Don’t participate; just watch.)
You are addicted toyour fears.
Recognize the absurdity of constantly listening to the
ravings of lunatics.
How much time have you spent resisting what has already happened and what might happen?
It is not life’s events that cause unhappiness.
It is your resistance to life’s events.
Everything will be okay when you are ok with
everything.
And that’s the only timeeverything will be okay.
6. Be quiet. Accept.(Relax and release.)
Enjoy the show….
…but stop participating in it.
Playfully detach.
Just regularly remind yourself to watch your mind...
… and to stay the hell out of it.
Create regular moments of centered consciousness.
Eventually, the triggers will not suck you in….
…they will simply remind you that you’re watching.
What used to hold you down...
…will awaken you.
7. Transcend the tendency to avoid the fear of pain.
Let it pass through you like the wind through the reeds.
Don’t close over it; open up to it,but give it room to pass.
If the avoidance of pain is the reason for your actions…
…every one of those actions will have the power to inflict
pain upon you.
If you react to pain by closing ranks around it…
…it will remain within you.
If you close around something…
…you will be psychologically sensitive to it
for the rest of your life.
When your life is no longer run by fear of pain…
…you will be freeto be happy.
There is an ocean of love and peace and serenity
within you.
8. Maintain a cosmic perspective.
• Insert picture of you are here galaxy
Permit the world to bewhat it is.
Psst… it’s none of your business.
When bad things happen, don’t ask, “How can I
fix this?”
Ask, “Who am Ithat is aware of this?”
9. There is only one question:
Do you want to be happy?
There is only one answer:
Unconditionally, yes.
Some part of you thinks there are good reasons for
being unhappy.
That part of youis mistaken.
No matter what happens...
...leave your heart open and honor the life you
experience.
The clock is ticking.
What you are doing at every moment is something
someone else was doing when they died.
10. Be someone the gods want to hang out with.
Satchitananda:Eternal, cosmic bliss.
When you are done playing with the temporary and the
finite…...you will open to the eternal
and the infinite.
12. It is better to be kindthan to be right.
Imagine if relationships were about getting to know other people instead of tending to
your issues?
To get closer to others,
let go of yourself.
Consider: regret.
Great minds think a lot.
