  1. When you start waking from the »woke« dream and realize how intimately truth and life are intertwined, it’s really hard to not become very wordy, because many new patterns become discernible and you want to share out of love – simply because you care.  Everything to do with physical and mental forms is perceived as dualisms. This means that noting is finite, the balance between intertwined paradoxes shift with fashions and times. How to handle this dilemma, when first you’re aware of the power of truth and know yourself committed to the love of life? Well, there’s a schism hidden here as well! In order to not become frustrated and overwhelmed, some generally take the path of deciding for themselves what they believe, others basically postpone such decisions until a majority consensus prevails.  A few, usually very intelligent individuals choose to decide what they want to believe, and strive to ignore evidence to the contrary. And then there are a few who are also very intelligent, but decide to »not care« and focus on how they may best control what people should believe, feel and do. This path leads to humongous expansion of everything to do with money, ego and power, and when they succeed, driven by a constant, unconscious fear of loosing control, they may cause tremendous upheavals, misery and suffering. Hitler described himself as being driven to find the best way to persuade, and when he found it (in some writ about psychology) he stopped trying to gain respect and went for power instead. He became an adept demagogue, but couldn’t have done what he did, if the conditions weren’t conducive as well. So here’s finally my point: I think you two are doing right. The ego may strive for perfection, but the spirit knows perfection for an illusion which always manifest too late. The ego will tell you how you ought to be better, faster, smarter – it will put you down! Humor, trust and love will tell you that there’s a good, calm feeling right in the middle of you stomach, when your new product is ready. (And when you stop second-guessing yourself, you actually do become faster, smarter and better, but this only happens when you no longer worry. You then re-visit the condition most people knew in childhood, enthusiastic immersion.)
