We do not exist. Spirit is the only true reality. What we are is infinitely greater than what we appear to be. Each one of us is no more than a reflection of all the races of humanity and all the species of life. There is a difference between being somebody and appearing to be somebody.
Reputation is no proof of integrity.
You are in a game well worth the winning. The desire to improve the character can open all sorts of interesting doors. The real game is inside. All the fame and fortune in the world will be worthless if you do not grow in spirit. Do not limit your possibilities.
