On July 2nd, 2004, Equinox was asked,

You almost answered the next question too which is: How can we learn to be satisfied with what we have in our lives without becoming apathetic?

EQ: Yes, we did answer it. It is very simple. All things are what thee believe they are. If thee can be appreciative of the wondrous gifts thee have, it does not exclude thee from looking forward and saying, “And next, I would like to have this experience as well.” And this gives thee something to aim toward, is this not so, a new series of experiences. But thee do not have to negate what thee have. For instance, let us say that one of thee win the $200 million lottery. Wonderful experience, correct? However, thee could be thinking this but still appreciative of the life thee are living now. Or, thee could be angry of the life thee are living now, resentful of those entities that have $200 million. Or, thee can give up and say, “My life is never going to be better,” and do nothing. Those are only a few options. Instead, we would say be joyous in the life thee lead. Be joyous in thy partnerships; be joyous in thy freedom; be joyous in thy children, but also, look forward. Dost thou understand?

In other words, life is a state of mind.

EQ: Absolutely. Absolutely, completely. Everything else is an illusion.

It’s all in how you perceive it. There’s good and bad; you can look at it either way.

EQ: It is not good or bad. It just is. Good and bad, again, is an illusion. What is good for thee may be bad for the vehicle. What may be good for her may be bad for Len. This is the wondrous thing about Terra is that each person has their own perceptions. No two people see, hear, smell, taste anything the same. So who are thee to tell this entity what she should like or dislike or what is good or what is bad. Thee may love tomatoes and someone else may absolutely hate them. If thee decided to make that person love tomatoes, what are thee accomplishing? And will it work? No.
