WE’VE ALL COME ACROSS HIM

He’s very clever
But he’s not half as clever
As he thinks he is

About Ben Naga

The Spirit that graces me with its passing has no name and stems not from thoughts and words, though it gathers them up as it flows, but from feeling.

    Wonder what happens when your Pride starts to be Proud of itself for not being Prideful? How do you poke that special little ego bubble?

      It isn’t time for him to evolve yet but he is giving us a wonderful opportunity to practice acceptance and patience. Perhaps that is his purpose here and now?

        I would wholly agree that in the Here and NOW is the chance to learn everything you need to be happy. Here is where you learn to yield to a better way and NOW is when you learn to accept what you have is everything you need which is more than enough to be happy, cutting through the illusion reality paints that more is a better that can always be bested.
