    uplifted. “It had to be a conversation you were ready for; one based on your own self assessment. Each of us has to discover in our own way where our real inadequacy lies. This seldom happens when you are still in your teens. We must divest ourselves of the power that self-intoxication has over us. No one can do that for us. And if we haven’t, it doesn’t matter who we have a conversation with, or what they say.” “Yeah, I learned that lesson in the walk-in the other day.” “Everything gets twisted in our mind and we always manage come out on top. It doesn’t matter what kind of a conversation you’re having, especially with your so-called “self”, because the real you isn’t truly participating. That silly girl stacks the deck. The whole time, she is running the show, while we are unconscious – and then somehow we always win – or so it seems. We convince ourselves we are on top, but that is just an illusion. It is not even who we really are. The fact is, we all have to start at the bottom, and through our own efforts realize that this is, in fact, where we really are.

It is so important for you to know that you are more than what goes on at the surface. And no one can make that discovery for you. We learn about ourselves from others, but we must recognize the tendency we all have toward puffing ourselves up to be something other than what we truly are.” Karla was resolved. “I know it’s all a game.” She had really had it. All this running in circles, only to get nowhere had produced nothing that she felt was really worthwhile. It was laying there in front of her like all the crap from the basement that had no place any longer in the house. It had to go. “New, I just need to start new. There is nothing worthwhile to fix.” “Bad dreams can’t be fixed. You can’t dive into them and make them better. It is a matter of waking up.
