Step eight:

Think for yourself.

Don't let anything else hijack your attention.

Think for yourself and NOT your education, your hometown, your family's opinions of your life, your bank account statement, your political party, your shoe size, what your shirt says, what's in your pockets, on your walls, in your DVD collection, your living room's theme, how much horse power your car has, your hours of volunteer work, the books you've read, the lost time you've seen a sunset, your view out your window as you fly to another family reunion, your blisters on your hands, your tv shows, what your counselor says, what your friends say; THINK FOR YOURSELF

Think of all the times you took advice or asked for it. Think of why that is. Think of why you doubt yourself when you ultimately follow your own advice in the end.

Think of why it is when someone says something that makes sense to you or doesn't at all. It is because you already felt it Already know it. It is because you think you're so alone as you surround yourself with things that you want to tell you who you are and things that want you in their image. Things that want you operate like they do so they feel safe while you're convinced that it's okay to be different and that the uncomfortable feeling in you is just your abandoned Self not accepting the change.


Think of how far from yourself you are. This isn't a truth that you are... it is just a directory.

And you are HERE amidst the friendly familiar fanfare of frenzied fallacies frightening your subconsciousness into a numb state. It is what makes you think you can no longer move from the mind state you are in. It makes you accept the environment around you. It is the ever rising water that your shackles made of your own beliefs and fears keep you from swimming away.

Think for yourself.

Answer your own questions.

Be your own answer.

Step seven:

Suggest and observe.

You're the basis. You're the ground zero from which all exists.

All the seventh step is for you to understand what it is you do. Suggest and observe.


Forget preferences, differences, opinions, belief, facts, fallacies, truths, lies, favourites, karma, destiny, and yourself.

Take the concept of "known" and remove all notions throughout your life that you've thought thus-far need to go into "known". Take all you've removed and put it into the concept of "Guesses/theories". It may look like the "known" box but feel different as when you had the "known" box full of your security, you didn't have to think about it. All that was in it was 'old hat' to you. Maybe even common sense. But on the note of not thinking about it, did you yourself put all of which was in your "known" box? I'm sure you sat through the lectures, opened the books, fingered through the index cards in the library, asked redundantly of a family member about a subject till they got annoyed with you... so then really, there's no ownership of the "known". Every piece of information is secondhand. To add to the fray, another box out there just as imaginary and shiny as the "known" box and it is called the "law/moral" box. But that's sort of self-explanatory.

Look at it this way, the dark was only scary because you didn't know what it hid or why it pulled your imagination towards fear. Someone would show you that there was nothing in the dark and that the dark could always be wiped away by light. But now you can observe that maybe the dark was trying to entice you to understand it metaphorically and physically as it's more abundant and doesn't put up resistance to light. To understand it would make a whole lot more sense than to figure out how to avoid the dark or to fear the dark by parents/guardians answering that the monsters won't get you.

So hey, nothing's known, all is unknown, all you are responsible for is maintaining a constant observation of things as well as suggesting-guessing what things could mean while sharing such findings.


The only certainty is uncertainty.
