Ain't **nobody** saying it's **got** to be **that way** all the way **forever and ever** for you. **In** this reel **Lil' Ana-D** gonna **show** you three **points** to be at **peace** **without** smoking all those **joints**. **Check** out the **triple ultra bar** to help you **see** to the **far** side of **reality**. **One**, what's **up** with all the **suffering**? **Two**, how to **end** that mass of **suffering**? And **three**, a **way** to keep you **away** from the **cray cray** in the **mid**-brain. So **one**. What's **up** with the **suffering**? **Who** makes it **happen**? **I and I** is the **groot**. The **g-root** of your **suffering** is the **craving** and clinging, the **pushing**, **pulling** and **swinging** of all things **this** way, **that** way – but it's **got** to be **my way**. We try to **bully reality** into being what **it's not**. With that, your **tripping balls** in a **hall of mirrors**. Suffering. Then **two**. **How** do we **end it**? Look **dude**, **stop** being a **gangsta** in the **back alley**. Anything you **see** – you **flag it** and you **tag it**. This **my hood**. This **my hoe**. This **my skim** or I **slay it**. **Why'd** you **do** that? When you **push** and **pull** to be the **king** of your **shit-hill**, you **turn** your **heart** and **mind** into a **dark ghetto**. Just **let it go** bro. **Survival** of the **ego** **ain't the same** as survival in **real life**. Then **three**. The **middle way** to keep **away** the **cray** cray. **Not** a way of **compromise**. A **way** of **reflections**. Also **not** a middle way **between** the **extremes**. Shit **you** haven't **seen** the first **fraction** of the **extremes**, how'd you **know where** the **middle point** is? So the **middle point** is the **mirror point**. You **reflect** on all things to see **where they fit**. Where they **fit** in the **big picture** of all that is. **What is.** **Not** in your **schemes**. So we got to **know what is**, we got to **know** what **you made of** – as it is. Roaming **up and down** the **rainbow** – look at **every** one of 'em **colors**. **Clearly**. Dig it for **what it is**. **Bitter**, sweet, **rotten**, creepy – **don't** matter. **It is** what **it is**. **Dig it.** Dig it and learn to **live with it** and **make** the **most of it**. That's **all**. **Look at** what you **made of**, make the **most of it**, **don't hold** on to **any** of it. There's your **middle way**, **flowing** through the **magnetic sizzles** of life. **Stick** your dirty little **fingers** into the **socket**, try to **hold on** to it, you'll be **electrocuted**. **Makes** for great **content**. **Not** very **cute**. Results in **suffering**. So **that's** the **heart** of it. Thanks for **chillin'** with **Li'l Ana-D**! **Recap** take-aways. One: **find** the **source**. Two: **stop** the **games**. Three: keep it **real** in the **middle**. I **learned** all this from my **homie**, the **Wizard-G**. A student of **Sri Pampkin-G**. He'll be **back in the hood** shortly. **Excellent**. Swagging **without** the *swagger. The **new roll** in the **hood**. **Li'l Ana-D** has **left** the **studio**. **Greetings!** What **seems** to be the **problem**? If you have **questions** for the **Wizard** – then **ask** your questions! If you **don't have** questions for the **Wizard** – then **shut up** and **contemplate**! **Wizard** has left the **mortal plane**. The **resonance** of the **third eye** is ever **so loud**.
