<p style="text-align:center;"><em>&#8220;Life is challenging enough. Why be my own enemy?&#8221;</em></p>
<p style="text-align:center;">&#8211;</p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><a href="http://benjamintsmythe.files.wordpress.com/2010/06/b-and-w-head.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-medium wp-image-1013" title="b and w head" src="http://benjamintsmythe.files.wordpress.com/2010/06/b-and-w-head.jpg?w=277&#038;h=300" alt="" width="277" height="300" /></a></p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><strong>A very simple perspective is offered here:</strong></p>
<p style="text-align:center;">&#8211;</p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><em>&#8220;No one is in charge.</em></p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><em>No one knows.</em></p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><em>No one is coming.</em></p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><em>Everything is over.</em>&#8220;</p>
<p style="text-align:center;">&#8211;</p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><strong>&#8220;Force is the only authority on earth. </strong></p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><strong>Loving feels better than forcing, </strong></p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><strong>however, this doesn&#8217;t mean anyone <em>has to</em> love.</strong></p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><strong>No one is in charge.&#8221;</strong></p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><strong></strong>&#8211;</p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><em>&#8220;The possibilities are endless because possibility is all there is.</em></p>
<p style="text-align:center;">Certainty is comedy.</p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><em>No one knows&#8221;</em></p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><strong>&#8211;</strong></p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><strong>&#8220;Child-like wonder and awe is the direct result of no longer waiting for others to join me.</strong></p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><strong>No one is coming.&#8221;</strong></p>
<p style="text-align:center;">&#8211;</p>
<p style="text-align:center;">&#8220;The story of yesterday cannot be found outside the telling of it.</p>
<p style="text-align:center;">Everything is over.&#8221;</p>
<p style="text-align:center;">&#8211;</p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><em>&#8220;The journey from Ow to Wow is the distance of one big deep breath.&#8221;</em></p>
<p style="text-align:center;">&#8211;</p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><strong>&#8220;There is no way to make a mistake.</strong></p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><strong>All I can do is learn what is and what is not</strong></p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><strong><em>relaxing.</em>&#8220;</strong></p>
<p style="text-align:center;">&#8211;</p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><em>&#8220;As far as I can tell, </em></p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><em>everyone is the world is made of one thing:</em></p>
<p style="text-align:center;">courage<em>.&#8221;</em></p>
<p style="text-align:center;">&#8211;</p>
<p style="text-align:center;">&#8220;There is no one coming to grade my life.</p>
<p style="text-align:center;">There is no final exam.</p>
<p style="text-align:center;">Life is a momentum.</p>
<p style="text-align:center;">Everything is in motion</p>
<p style="text-align:center;">It all starts and ends here.&#8221;</p>

<p style="text-align:center;"><strong>My perspective is one of many.</strong></p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><strong></strong><strong>Sometimes it can be relaxing to get another view.</strong></p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><strong>I am here to explore with you anytime.</strong></p>

<p style="text-align:center;">The first time I held the sign was in 2005 in San Francisco.</p>
<p style="text-align:center;">In December 2008, the perfection of the universe became glaringly obvious.</p>
<p style="text-align:center;">In January 2009, I started holding the sign regularly and began sharing nonduality on YouTube.</p>
<p style="text-align:center;">In August 2010, I moved to Berkeley and have spent the last year and a half sharing the sign and nonduality around the world.</p>
