Oh...ouch...ouch...ouch... When you, I, and everyone else were born, each of us was a perfect porcelain china doll. For our nine "womb-months," Nature KNEW just how to take care of us. Nature KNEW what we needed before we knew. While still in the womb...life was bliss...life was bliss...life was exponential bliss. THEN WE WERE BORN!!! I don't need to tell you...the society we live in is exponentially DYSFUNCTIONAL!!! At the time of birth...almost to the second...every one of our porcelain china dolls began to be broken...

I suspect you are young...I am sixty-four years and counting. Well within my childhood, my porcelain china doll was not just broken...it was smashed to smithereens...really small pieces of porcelain dust...I felt sorry for my Self, but in its wisdom, Nature provided me with a way to reconcile all this porcelain dust. This gift of reconciliation is called a brain.

This gift of a brain was no quick cure. I stumbled, fell, self-emolated and struggled to pretend...but when I was fifty-four years of age, I finally escaped this society's cultural heritage and finally...at last...just in the nick of time, swallowed my first gasp of fresh air!!!

If you understand nothing more than this: YOU ARE ON THE RIGHT TRACK! Even though you are a pile of porcelain china dust...you do not have to prove to anyone other than you that were this "sacred and precious pile of porcelain dust" to resume its birthright; it would be perfectly perfect. However...as I have found...Nature possesses a deeper magic...when each of us finally comprehends the essence of who and what we are, we will realize that our pile of precious procelain dust is perfectly, perfectly, perfectly perfect...

I often tell my daughter this, and I am not lying...YOU ARE PERFECTLY, PERFECTLY, PERFECTLY BEAUTIFUL...

blessings...enigma...ron
