Me carrying the message , “R U Next?” in front of ABC/Disney, 9/19/25.

On September 17, 2025, ABC/DISNEY suspended the Jimmy Kimmel Show. What followed was shock, and anger, and a lot of fear. The worst had happened, censorship was real. Then six days later the Kimmel Show was reinstated.

So what is real in all of this?

We often enter the world feeling like victims of circumstance—believing the cards we’re dealt are all we’ve got, and there’s no real choice in the matter. At its worst, we get stuck in a cycle: fearing what’s coming next, then growing angry because it feels like there’s nothing we can do about it.

Sometimes, we reach a point where we realize—we can do something. We start to see choices, possibilities, and actions we can take to improve our lives. We feel empowered. But when does that sense of empowerment become just another weapon in our arsenal against what we label as “bad”? A subtle clue is when we still feel like a victim to life, even as we wear the cape of empowerment. In the worst case, we get caught in a cycle of constant resistance—a fighting cycle—where we’re always battling something. Eventually, the toll adds up: exhaustion, burnout, even illness.

And then there’s Enlightenment. The Path of Enlightenment unfolds through you, and is available 100% of the time. You’re never more than one thought away from clarity. Even if you occasionally fall off the path, you can return in an instant. Let go of trying to change circumstances in order to be happy. Instead of chasing results, allow Wisdom to guide you through whatever shows up. It always has your back.

“You’re living in the feeling of your thinking, 
not the feeling of the world. 
So you don’t need the world to be a certain way 
to live the richest life that is available for you.” 
-Michael Neill

So, I thought about my worst case scenario. What if – what if – I could no longer work in television, which is my primary source of income? As I settled down, I began to see the many options available to me — film, theatre, public speaking, etc. As I settle down even more, I know that possibilities exist far beyond my current limited vision, and if I am open to New Thought, Wisdom will reveal Infinite possibilities to me. .
