Then decided against it, since there's an underlying message about racism; I realize now, that that is the reason I should have posted it after all. Thanks for including it in your reply...

Don't know how, always been too shy to even go to parties. I'll have to fix that some day.

I'll raise a glass to you though!

And I doubt my "moves" nowadays (at age 28) are as embarrassing as they were back in high school. Oh, to have that lack of self-consciousness again!

I am your controller. I am only that because you do not or will not understand me, my ways and my kind. I have been with you as the very oneupmanship that brought this species to this point.

I am there with you when you cannot or will not do what you really should or could do what you can in ANY given situation. I am the author of your self-doubt and your fears. I keep you where you are like a huge thumb that pushes you into that false shame you feel when you don't act from your true nature at that place where you can be the Universe changing the entire world in ways that reveal the totally empowered being that you are by your total endowment and ultimate nature.

I am there with you whenever you don't say those things that came to mind at the board meeting and you had "feelings" of being outcast and misunderstood. I know for a fact that you can find my influence and grip on your life, (if you would only pay attention) in so many places that I could really become obvious to you and your real path to transformation would make me both powerless and even a joke if you could only muster-up the courage to step out of my spell and be yourself as this and in connection with everyone and everything like some indigenous and rightful inhabitant of a real, not imagined or abstractly imposed, inhabitant of an amazing and unlimited reality that the Universe was, is and will always be.

If you like this dream, no matter what kinds of nightmares come, then keep on resorting to reasons, logic, sciences and religions in order to serve me and my kind because, no mater what the reason, excuse, concept or belief, as you can see by history itself, we really always have you in the palm of our hands and the sport of the whole game is how we have to adapt and adjust our methods to keep you and your growing, teeming masses of indentured slaves in the grips of our knowledge of how this really works while you labor, confused in the substitutes for reality and the facades we have been feeding you for centuries upon centuries.

You may think that is so unfair and you can cry and gripe all you want to, but notice that I have given you a way to level this playing field and it is about your own, personal realization and recognition of your ignorance and naivete which can and will change this fading, repetitive game from here on in.

Or, would you rather continue this way and give us are way as if your own true nature was not something visceral and palpable if you would only let it be so? Keep on giving us what we want, if you like, but it does not have to continue this way if you would ever wake up to the nature of things as they are.
