Most of us don't know where death is. We're afraid to face it and so life life constantly on the lookout for it. That is the price paid for cowardice.

Cowardice is to try to avoid death by living a life. If you're not on your arrow, then you can't arrive at your death. Sounds logical. Trouble is... you're always on your arrow, that's the definition of the arrow.

Arrow that points to Death == Life == Who you Are A "Life" is the arc of the arrow. "You" are an experience of each slice of that arrow. That experience progressing along the arrow is "Living".

Living with courage is to be AT the experience of the present moment on a waterslide towards death. Living with cowardice is to be dragged along by the present moment.

You're living a lie to try and avoid death but death will come regardless of what you do. You can't change fate because fate is by definition what you end up doing. You might as well enjoy the ride.

False gods are what we cling to as we are relentlessly dragged into the future. We scrape along unnecessarily on the ground.

We think that if we let go of our gods we will fall into the abyss towards death. The truth is if we let go of our gods we are propelled not into the future(eventual death) but into the present moment.

Examples of false gods: "If I live in a safe neighborhood, my family and I will not be hit by drunk drivers." or "If I cross this street, I won't be hit by a meteor and die."

Every false-god killed in the 'normal' way just becomes a new false-god. E.g. when you resolve a fear, a new one takes it's place. The only way to kill all the false-gods once and for all is to kill god itself.

You have to realize, no matter what you do, that you could die at any moment. You have to be willing to accept the tragedy of all your amassed money, status, knowledge, etc.. will go to waste.

Religion is that which intermediates between your ambition and your life and allows your life to feel full and fulfilled. Sometimes it gives you knowledge, sometimes it shields you from it.

Ripping away someone's god is the equivalent of a bunch of boys stripping down a girl and spraying her with super soakers. It's a bombardment of "Truth" designed to humiliate and shame.

"Power" is the threat and ability to strip someone's god naked and shame it. Immunity to power is to have no gods. "Power" doesn't work on me if I'm willing to punch you until you die and suffer the consequences as long as I get that powerpoint in a different font."

The wolves of wall street bare their teeth at each other, showing off all the blood from all the gods they have killed. They were taught no respect for the sacred.

Who are the wolves now? Look down at your hands. Why are they bloody?
