Yes, hello, my friends, and welcome to the Robcast. This is episode 380, and this episode is called

a brief and freeing exercise. I think exercise is the right, maybe you'll have a better word for it.

Exercise feels like the right word. These are

truths that I remind myself of. I speak them to myself, almost like mantras, and I just strung

them all together here because what these do for me is they remind me that my true nature is peace. Each of us, our true nature is peace, stillness,

calm, joy. Those aren't things we go and get. They're what we are in our deepest selves,

in our essence, whatever sort of words you want to use for that.

So I wrote these out and they're on my Patreon. The written version is on my Patreon.

And by the way, this Patreon, I was wondering when I did it, like, would I just do something once a

week? Would maybe I,

would somebody have a question and I would sort of riff on it? But I, most days during the

week, I create something new. And I, it's, it's been such a, like a grounding, centering gift to me. And people are, I mean, people are

amazing and fascinating. Actually, we just, I just, the past two days, did a two day here in Ohio.

And again, sitting there listening to person after person talk. And then watching the other people

go, oh my word, human beings are amazing.

But the Patreon has been, like it always is when you watch people in action do what they do.

It's just been an extraordinary thing. So come on over to Patreon if you like, because there this is written out.

And I'm going to read this because that's what it feels

like it yeah it feels like it asks to be read so here we go let's try this see if it helps a brief

and freeing exercise let's start with ourselves try setting yourself free from the idea that there is some other you,

some other you who would have gotten it right or made better decisions or spent money more wisely or made better moves or who was kinder or smarter or smarter or more compassionate or patient.

Let's set ourselves free from the illusion, because that's what it is, an illusion.
