While touring my inner house, 
and being introduced to creative + energetic assets
I had agreed to develop,
I saw a seal sitting on a table. 
<p></p>

It looked ancient.

**(This is called a "[seal *matrix*](https://www.sal.org.uk/museum-collection/unlocking-our-collections/seal-matrix/)" by the way. lol)**



So, an antiquated practice and mindset 
-- ROOTED in enslaving authority + forced power structures -- 
still had some operating systems running.

💥 handled 💥

**To see 'em, is to smash 'em!**

# Who or what authenticates you, friend?
<p></p>

Dusty relics? Hunger for approval, or popularity? 
That is a question for your core. Answerable only by you. 

And I hope you don't even attempt to answer it here. 
Not in a hurry, anyway.

Your fingers don't know. 
So don't let them get to rush-lyin'. 
Just, maybe *consider...*

Have you been WORKING hard
for the approval, or permission, of someone?

Have you been WAITING for a sign, symbol, green light, 
annual salary, hook-up, break-up, weight gain, weight loss, 
certification, aligning of stars, blahhhhh.... 

*[insert any number of ceaseless configurations of excuses, to not begin, here.]*

Or -- ideally -- DON'T. Because...

...it is likely, that what you've been looking for

is casually lying around, on a table somewhere, 

**in YOUR possession, all along.**

Mine was!

And let there be no judgment 'bout it, k? 

We do better, once we KNOW better. 

So here's to knowing.

Know what's on your table-tops, 

because what you find there is perfectly suited for you.

It is not easy to word these things.
So, please hear the next part, with your heart.
(And Steven, this is an extended *metaphorrrrr*... 😘)

## The Postage Stamp Program: De-Coded 
<p></p>

This program is designed to take the primary purpose
or innate function of a thing, and **TURN IT ON ITSELF.** Like this:

☠️ Any auto-immune disease. [Pick one](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_autoimmune_diseases).

☠️ And not yet as well known... The Postage Stamp Program. 
A stamp, (another authoritative mark, by the way,) 
-- you would think -- would help with **goingness.** 

But when your programming to Go and See is distorted, 
instead of focusing on Going and Seeing... 
in confusion, you focus on Smallness. 
(Or Stickiness. Or some other PERVERSION
of a stamp's essential purpose.)

You may follow some of Smallness' 
embedded commands, like:

> Shhhh. You hush now. Less expressing. 
> Reign it in. Fold yourself. Tight, and tiny.

**SNUFFED!**

## Focusing on distorted information. Seeking approval + authority from others. Dismissing our wholeness.
<p></p>

That's hell on earth.

Which, turns out, is FLIPPABLE.

**Hey. Thank you, for being on the other side of this,** 
**you beautiful, carbon-based lifeform, you!**

**It matters...**

**...how we witness each other.** 

**And ourselves.** 💋
