Pass it on

This post is a continuation of the post: Be Vast and the post: as ye sow

Pass it on.

When I say, pass it on. What I do not want you to do is pass on this article. Or any post on this site, or anything I have ever said.

It must be you.

Pass you on. It has to be you. As much of you as possible, as often as possible, to as many people as possible, with as much vigor as possible, from the deepest parts of you, from the places you only dare whisper. Pass on those words you earned in long toil and from the times great pain and great joy. Raw is good.

Make sure to include the tough stuff, often the more offensive the more effective. Is offense not the nature of change, is change not the nature of growth, is growth not the nature of progress, is progress not the nature of thriving?

As I did in the post, Be Vast. I would like to recommend some music as you read this post.

• Hauser & London Symphony Orchestra

Did you tackle that trouble that came your way?

- Edmund Vance Cooke

History is a story of the Wildlings breaking down the walls and sacking cities of far greater sophistication. Therefore, there is nothing so sweet as passing on modernities ability to overwhelm evil. Men, if you are ill-equipped to pass on this highest axiom of civilization, it’s time to ask thee question a bit more often: Who am I?

You are you. You are in charge of you. You are your hero. No one will defend you where you do not. You must be there for you. You must be you. You will attract what you allow. You will have more of what you look away from yet stay close to. You owe you to be more of you, there is nothing you need more… than you. When you’re you first, you are ready for those who are not you. Whatever you become it must come from you. All the outside things must form in you, by you, to be your version of that thing. You. You. You. Always You. Always You if you want to love another. Always you if you want to do anything well. Always you if you want to feel right and whole. Always You. Always You. Always You.

Live life as yourself.
