Nobody Knows You

They recognize your body but nobody sees your essence.
Character, values, experience, knowledge and your deepest inner climate are invisible to others.

Oh, they see glimpses.
They might notice some physical manifestations.
But few have the awareness to connect the dots between your outer and inner.

You are 1% external and 99% internal.
But most people fixate on the external.

Which is a shame.
This makes them vulnerable to massive deception.
And prevents them from connecting with the best of humanity.

They live within 1% of the possible bandwidth.
And resist anything that nudges them to look at the other 99%.

Of course, if their mental boundaries surround that 1%, anything outside that looks odd.
But they’ll never increase their acreage without moving some fences.

This is why no matter how many friends, everyone is alone.
No one sees much of others’ 99%.
Until they gain experience exploring their own.

You arrive alone and you depart alone.
What you do with the 99% defines your growth during this life.
This whole gig is about growth.

When earthly death arrives, no one can take the 1% with them.
Everyone MUST take the 99% with them.

Are you passive or proactive?
Shallow or deep?
Asleep or awake?

It makes all the difference.
