AMERICA! LISTEN TO ME! 
THE WAY YOU THINK THINGS ARE
IS NOT! THE WAY THINGS ARE!!!

THE WAY YOU THINK THINGS ARE
IS ONLY YOUR OPINION
ABOUT THE WAY THINGS ARE!!!

STOP WATCHING TV!
STOP ENGAGING WITH SOCIAL MEDIA!
STOP LISTENING TO RADIO --
ESPECIALLY TALK RADIO!!!

STOP LISTENING TO YOUR FRIENDS!
STOP LISTENING TO YOUR PREACHER!

RETREAT TO EMPTINESS, STILLNESS AND SILENCE!!!
IMMERSE YOURSELF IN ART, MUSIC AND NATURE!!!

LISTEN TO NOTHING BUT EMPTINESS, STILLNESS AND SILENCE,
AND ART, MUSIC AND NATURE!!!

FOR AS LONG AS IT TAKES 
FOR YOU TO SEE THAT YOUR OPINION
ABOUT THE WAY THINGS ARE
AND THE WAY THINGS ARE
ARE TWO DIFFERENT THINGS!!!

AND THAT ALL YOU HAVE IS YOUR OPINION
ABOUT THE WAY THINGS ARE!!!

SEPARATE YOURSELF FROM YOUR OPINION
SO THAT ALL YOU HAVE IS NO IDEA
ABOUT THE WAY THINGS ARE!!!

BE LIKE A BABY JUST BORN!!!
A BIRD JUST HATCHED!!!
DO NOT KNOW ANYTHING!!!

STAY WITH THE EMPTINESS, STILLNESS AND SILENCE
AND WITH ART, MUSIC AND NATURE,
UNTIL THE MUD SETTLES
AND THE WATER CLEARS
AND YOU ARE YOU
AND EVERYTHING ELSE
IS EVERYTHING ELSE
AND REMAIN THERE
WITH YOU BEING YOU
AND EVERYTHING ELSE BEING EVERYTHING ELSE
SO THAT YOU KNOW
WHERE YOU STOP
AND EVERYTHING ELSE STARTS
AND MAINTAIN HEALTHY BOUNDARIES
FOR THE REST OF YOUR LIFE!!!
