> 
> 1.  You will receive a body. You may like it or hate it, but it will
>     be yours for the entire period this time around.
> 
> 2.  You will learn lessons. You are enrolled in a full-time
>     information school called "Life". Each day in this school you will
>     have the opportunity to learn lessons. You may like the lessons or
>     think them irrelevant and stupid.
> 
> 3.  There are no mistakes, only lessons. Growth is a process of trial
>     and error, experimentation. The "failed" experiments are as much a
>     part of the process as the experiment that ultimately "works".
> 
> 4.  A lesson is repeated until learned. A lesson will be presented to
>     you in various forms until you have learned it. When you have
>     learned it you can go onto the next lesson.
> 
> 5.  Learning lessons does not end. There is no part of life that does
>     not contain lessons. If you are alive, there are lessons to be
>     learned.
> 
> 6.  "There" is no better than "here". When your "there" has become
>     "here" you will simply obtain another "there" that will again look
>     better than "here".
> 
> 7.  Others are merely mirrors of you. You cannot love or hate
>     something about another person unless if reflects to you something
>     you love or hate about yourself.
> 
> 8.  What you make of your life is up to you. You have all the tools
>     and resources you need. What you do with them is up to you. The
>     choice is yours.
> 
> 9.  Your answers lie inside you. The answers to life's questions lie
>     inside you. ALL you need to do is look, listen and trust.
> 
> 10. You will forget all this.
