The 10 Rules for Being Human

Do you remember the song Galileo by the Indigo Girls?

"Galileo's head was on the block

The crime was looking up the truth

As the bombshells of my daily fears explode

I try to trace them to my youth

Then you had to bring up reincarnation

Over a couple of beers the other night

Now I'm serving time for mistakes

Made by another in another lifetime

How long till my soul gets it right

Can any human being ever reach that kind of light

I call on the resting soul of Galileo

King of night vision king of insight"

Most of the people who visit my website would like to "get it right" this life. The 10 Rules for Being Human go a long way toward laying out a way to live your life that will result in "getting it right"

You will receive a body. You may like it or hate it, but it's yours to keep for the entire period.

You will learn lessons. You are enrolled in a full-time informal school called, "life."

There are no mistakes, only lessons. Growth is a process of trial, error, and experimentation. The "failed" experiments are as much a part of the process as the experiments that ultimately "work."

Lessons are repeated until they are learned. A lesson will be presented to you in various forms until you have learned it. When you have learned it, you can go on to the next lesson.

Learning lessons does not end. There's no part of life that doesn't contain its lessons. If you're alive, that means there are still lessons to be learned.

"There" is no better a place than "here." When your "there" has become a "here", you will simply obtain another "there" that will again look better than "here."

Other people are merely mirrors of you. You cannot love or hate something about another person unless it reflects to you something you love or hate about yourself.

What you make of your life is up to you. You have all the tools and resources you need. What you do with them is up to you. The choice is yours.

Your answers lie within you. The answers to life's questions lie within you. All you need to do is look, listen, and trust.

You will forget all this.
