You do not have to conform to your family, your neighbors, your fellow-workers, your fellow-students, the society in which you live or the government of lying and corrupt leaders and officials.  You are a unique individual and you have a right to be here on Earth.  You do not have to go over the cliff with the stupid sheep.  Are you fully aware of this? 

You do not have to explain yourself to stupid, neurotic people.  A real individual cannot be understood by unreal, superficial and mediocre people.  To try to get them to understand and accept you is a waste of time.  The more you try to give self-defensive explanations of yourself, the more you will be treated with suspicion and condemnation.  Intelligence cannot be explained to stupidity; good-will cannot be explained to ill-will; personal development cannot be explained to normalcy; metaphysical insight cannot be explained to cynical materialism; cosmic realities cannot be explained to adherents of religions or cults.

The greatest Galactic and Cosmic Powers secretly guide and support all true non-conformist real individuals everywhere, including the stupid and insane planet Earth.  Meditate on this.

You have a right to be wherever you are.  You claim this right in five fundamental ways:

1.     By being absolutely honest and truthful, ever exploring greater, wider and higher truth.

2.     By never harming human beings or living creatures.

3.     By never cheating, stealing or misappropriating.

4.     By never hoarding beyond personal necessity.

5.     By doing only such work that is truly yours in accordance with your deepest character and conscience.

Without the freedom and dignity of the authentic individual, there is no Yoga, Zen or Sufi Way.  All conscious evolution depends on this principle.  The firm centering of oneself in personal freedom, dignity and higher-development is Shambhala Warriorship.
