BRIAN EZZELL: And that is the experience that you were having.
There is of course… I've dealt with through having a business that
catered to people of that particular economic level, that there are a
lot of people out there who are in that lifestyle who are very much
afraid that all they have will be taken away from them. And that
they are enjoying their life, but at the same time there's a real
stress that comes from I'm afraid that my life is going to… that all
this will be taken away from me. And so it's something that people
that have money that they're afraid these things will happen.
For me the more that I become, having more enlightened
experiences and such, the more I start to realize that my life has a

there really isn't anything that I'm supposed to do to make it more
perfect or more balanced. I might need to move something from
here to there, but that's just life moving me, that's just life moving
me, moving different things around from one point to another,
that's me being a part of this wondrous thing that we have. And
that just happens, that's not something that you can really just
make happen, you just start to realize that more that you let go,
the more that you let go of your control, or your desire for control,
to aspire to higher things, the more you start to realize that life is
just going to… life has a life of its own, and there's nothing that
you can really change about that. But when you realize that you
