The secret is this, The Alchemist smiled, “Every day you awake to a world that is brand new. All history, memories, and expectation are just scenery left on the stage from yesterday’s play. You don’t have to play that part today. Its only authority rests in our unspoken agreement to buy-in to the illusion. So, reject the script, hoist the scenery back into the flies, and play any part you wish. Why not play yourself?”
Alone again in the tent he laughed to himself, “Wait until you learn that you can step off the stage and leave the theatre entirely.”
