“Everything is changing and nothing is different”…

Well, you look a little older to me. That’s different isn’t it.

“The paradox of existence, a whisper of transformation”…

Why are you always speaking in riddles and piddles. You’re impossible…

“Impossibility, yes, I am possibility. It’s built into the word itself. You are an impossibility! And yet, here you are. Explain yourself or they will do it for you…” 

They… Who are they? 

“The experts, the authors, your teachers, parents, friends… The voices in your head that aren’t you… The Theys, in there, always haunting you, whispering into your ears, ‘this is the way.”

That’s stupid, and impossible. I do what I want to do…

“If it were only so, you’d already be free, but we’re still here discussing possibility.” 

No, you are discussing possibility, I am discussing your stupidity. 

“Not not, who’s there?”

I’m not answering you. 

“Not not, who’s there?”

“Not not, who’s there?”

Who? Who’s there, who’s there, who’s there?

“It’s a good question. And no one can answer that question for you but yourself…” 

Damn it… 

“Shhh… Listen… Do you hear that?” 

You’re impossible… 

“We are, aren’t we.” 

I don’t know what we are. 

“Guess what?”

No thank you…

“I don’t know either, nor do they, the magical equation, is and can only ever be, for you, your way. Freaky isn’t it. Seven billion souls, and only one will ever traverse the terrain of this existence as you. It’s a one person ride. It always has been, always will be, your way is the only way. It’s built into the birth and it’s beautiful.”

It kind of hurts… 

“I know.” 
… … …

“The magical equation“…

The formula for the well lived life…

The Magical Equation…

Oh what a terror it is, that sweet ephemeral mystery that echoes in the distance.

“Follow me, my way, this way, I will show you how…” 

And then…

Years pass…

And in silence you sit, whispering to yourself, “They promised me this was the way.”

“Why would they lie to me?” 

“Why wouldn’t they tell me the truth?” 

“I had one simple question, one simple request and they couldn’t answer it honestly, ‘How should I live my life?‘ ” 

“All those years, the whispers, I listened…”

The whispers, hollow nightmares, ghosts preying upon the heart, the seed of conformity planting itself inside the soul, ‘this way, our way is the only way, we promise you’.

Do this first, then get this taken care of, then after that you will want to, next, you need to prepare for, and then when you are finally done, you can…

Live your life…

.
.
.

I don’t know about you, but since you are here with me, I am going to assume that waiting to live your life because you first have to do all the things that you were told you were supposed to do, is unacceptable.

Also,it is completely unacceptable to say these words, “I have lived a good life…” 

You see in that is a death sentence as well.

If you are reading these words, you are not finished living. 

So…

In the next few days, I will share a few words on the truth, on sincerity, on knowing that, “Your Way Is The Way”. 

For some, the words may be harsh and difficult to acknowledge, for you, it will inspire.

You are pure possibility and no one, not even you know what you are capable of…

At least, not yet.

“What makes your life, a life, for you?”

LIFE…

Stand for something.
Take a stand for yourself.

Stand for your excellence…
Stand for your love…
Stand for your experience…

Stand for laughter…
Stand for your expression…
Stand for compassion…

Take a stand for something…

Take a stand for yourself….

Love you,
Emeric Damian

p.s. Taking a stand for yourself is a practice and a worthy practice, worthy of your life… Because it is you life… You will be challenged and you will be all the better for it. 

—– The Joy Of Work: You and Me on A Quest —–

The personal work that is available to you to participate with me, includes going on a discovery process to explore what it is you want, what you really want.

That’s part I of the conversation. 

Part II is about taking what comes from part I and exploring;what it actually is,why you want it,what will be different in your life if you do create it,and what it means for you to actually make that happen.
Part III Well, that is the mystery, with which we will explore the transformation you know is possible for you and your life. 

Part IV and V Now that you know what you know, what are you going to do about it?

This is a potent moment in the conversation, because it is here where we truly discover how much you actually want to create the life you’ve been exploring in our conversation.

Part VI Now is the time when you say yes or no, to yourself. 

That’s the conversation that matters more than any other conversation you will have in your life and you will be challenged time and time again to choose, to say yes or no to yourself. Alignment and Integrity… 

Part VII The Joy of Work Begins.

But it all starts with you saying yes, I want to know more. 

You choose as you choose and I will support you to choose as you choose but I will not choose to be apart of what I don’t wish to be a part of.

But you are the revolution for you and I will light the fire under you until you live it as you are.

The guru is you…

Ciao,

Only those who risk going too far can possibly know how far one can go.

T.S. Eliot

“On the American desert are horses which eat the locoweed and some are driven mad by it; their vision is affected, they take enormous leaps to cross a tuft of grass or tumble blindly into rivers. The horses which have become thus addicted are shunned by the others and will never rejoin the herd. So it is with human beings: those who are conscious of another world, the world of the spirit, acquire an outlook which distorts the values of ordinary life; they are consumed by the weed of non-attachment. Curiosity is their one excess and therefore they are recognized not by what they do, but by what they refrain from doing, like those Araphants or disciples of Buddha who were pledged to the “Nine Incapabilities.” Thus they do not take life, they do not compete, they do not boast, they do not join groups of more than six…”
