However, if you want some companionship, go out a find another spirit, a person, or a life form and befriend them. They will probably appreciate not being alone.”

# 637  FORGET EVERYTHING.

This is easily done. The human race has been doing this since the deepest, dimmest beginnings of time primordial – maybe even since before time was invented.

Forgetting is an especially useful and convenient ability. This is why is has become so popular over the eternity of our previous existence.

The reason is simple: if you have done “naughty” things in the past – or things that other people told you they thought were naughty – you can erase all the blame, shame, regret, guilt and responsibility for all that alleged naughtiness. All you have to do is forget!

Another easy way to forget is to pretend there is some other spirit, like yourself, who is a “great spirit”. Pretend that this “great spirit” made you, and made you DO all those naughty things, so you can put the blame on them for “making you do it”.

Or, pretend that the “great spirit” will forgive you for doing naughty things – if you ask nicely.

Or, tell everyone that “the great spirit made me do those naughty things, so I’m not guilty or insane or responsible for my own actions”.

Even better, tell everyone that the naughty things you did were NOT naughty because you were “commanded” by the Great Spirit to do the naughty things which means they are not really naughty because they were the “will of the Great Spirit” and therefore your actions were “blessed” and “holy”.

Warning: do not ever tell anyone that you are a spirit. And god forbid, do not ever tell anyone that you are the “Great Spirit”. They will bad mouth you, torture you, burn you, crucify you, imprison you, and kill you – in the name of the “Great Spirit” (for your own good, of course).

 

LIE TO ME

You got to lie to me…. If you don’t, then nothing moves on. This universe is built of lies. Think about it: if everybody always told the exact, whole, unaltered truth about every detail of their thoughts and actions we would all die an agonizing death of excruciating boredom!  Don’t take my word for it.  Try it.  Tell everyone the exact, unaltered truth about what you really think and what you really do all the time. Do it for 3 days. Even 24 hours.  Or, how about 20 minutes?  I dare you! Send me an e-mail and tell me what happened.  lrs@lawrencerspencer.com

(It’s a little “dead” at first, but it picks up quickly and gets really interesting as it goes along over the hour-long interveiw)
