Wanting is the origin of all of our problems today, every day.
Take the word "want" out of our vocabulary
and our difficulties disappear like that (Snaps fingers).

The old Taoists and Buddhists and everyone who knows anything 
have known this from the beginning.

Speaking of the beginning,
there is Adam and Eve wanting, and here we are.
From the start wanting has been at the bottom
of everything that is wrong with the world.

And while we are on the subject,
let me remind us that the Garden of Eden 
never existed.
There was no Adam, there was no Eve.

There was no beginning.

"Circumstances begetting circumstances"
is all there ever has been, or will be.
Circumstances generally fueled by somebody
wanting something.

It is past time we were through with wanting forever.

In the place of wanting,
we ask ourselves, 
"What is called for, here, now?

Doing what the situation, the circumstances, call for
is putting things back on track.
Back "on the beam."

Joseph Campbell said, "We know when we are on the beam
and when we are off it."
What does being off the beam call for?
Do that and everything takes a turn for the better,
like that (Ditto above).

So, when we get rid of wanting 
and begin living in the service of what is called for,
no matter what we want,
everything takes a turn toward the best 
of all possible worlds.

All because we quit wanting/caring
about things we have no business wanting/caring about.

Just do what is called for here, now,
and let the outcome be the outcome.
And let nature take its course.
And let things happen as they need to happen.
And see what happens.
Please.
