    Self Inflicted

    Saturday, April 5, 2008, 02:40 PM [Philosophy & Reflections]

    You are an animal, you are also so much more. Curious, passionate, you are change. A force of pure feeling.
    Your logic, a concept. Everyone else has different opinions. We are all unique and all the same. Your desires, your wants, your needs, none of these are wrong or evil. These things are what you crave, the trick is to acquire while considering the needs of others.

    Commerce for example is not necessarily evil. Yes we sometimes lose touch with ourselves by placing our concentrations on acquiring physical possessions, however this is not the fault of commerce. Commerce is nothing more than a philosophy. We have decided to lose touch with each other, commerce is just an excuse. A scapegoat to pass the blame upon.

    Be a part of everything that interests you. Remember your wonder, your excitement as a child. This wonder is still there, you have just deemed it unimportant, Sacrificed a pure unity with life, the unknown.

    I do not ask you to forsake commerce, to quit your jobs or careers. Only that to desire your inner desires is a slow torturous death, a deep disconnected darkness. Fight for your life, claw out of this darkness, this self inflicted misery. Dance under the stars, in the rain. Experience, truly experience life. Do not ever be content to just sit there and watch the world, join it, be a part of it.

    Wild and Untamed

    Saturday, April 5, 2008, 02:35 PM [Philosophy & Reflections]

    Anger, an inescapable void. It seems that we grow more angry as time progresses. Angry at other motorists on the road, the cashier at the supermarket, the public officials appointed over us. We call them morons, ignorant, do you believe this true?
    Do you really think your leader or president is a complete fool? Foolish maybe, we all are in certain aspects.
    No it is because you cannot control these people. We are angry because we have no power over these people. That we must take the actions of others as law. As a rule, we no longer trust, believe in others anymore.

    What have these people truly done to wrong you, if you were in their position wouldn’t you inevitably wrong others yourself? Do you think that you are better, above their unique personal conflicts? Are you really that biased?
    All of our paths are intertwined, we are only separated by our individual reason. Everything, emotion or even our reaction effects all that we come in contact with, whether either party realizes it or not.

    I am not trying to tell you that anger is not valid, pure and sometimes necessary. Only that it is not too much more difficult to attempt to understand someones reason before allowing that anger to evolve into hatred.
    All your hatred is, a refusal to forgive, an active choice to keep the raging fires of anger fueled.

    Maybe, just maybe your opinions are baseless and one sided. Judgment of another is often poorly acquired. Most of you refuse to trust, you pass blame and accuse others too quickly.
    Why have you developed such a potent lack of trust for others? Yes many may abuse this trust. Does this really matter in the end, what do you truly lose by trusting someone else?

    Most of us in this age think that our video game consoles, our televisions, computers or any other physical possession makes us happy. I do not agree, these are nothing but daydreams, objects to take our minds off our existence. To focus on, to escape. Only you can make you happy, a friend is simply combined happiness. The sharing of individual happiness.

    We all desire acceptance, belonging, to connect with others. The problem is, that which we seek we already have and always did.
    Reflect, have you ever smiled at someone having a bad day? Seen the relief, the happiness in their eyes? Remember the way this felt, how it lifted your spirit? The smile, letting them know everything will be alright, that we are all connected. A pure connection exists always, just open the door to your soul.

    Love is not a passion for someone, not their beauty, not even really an emotion. Love is more like a bond, spiritual harmony, multiple emotions on the verge of sensory overloading your very essence. Wild and untamed.

    I do not proclaim my beliefs are better than yours. I merely understand the world as I perceive it. I attempt to understand those around me, to reconnect with everyone. This is my happiness, my spiritual climax.
    I am not good, not evil, I am alive. I refuse to be frightened, scared or to exist alone and detached. In my mind this is not really an existence at all, fear is an anti-life. I am seeking all that is pleasurable, maximizing any and every emotion. Nothing is more pure than your emotion, the unrivaled reflection of your soul.

    Don’t be silent, project your aura out upon everything. Give your energy to the world and the world will return it, magnified. Stifle it and it will slowly discharge and fade away.
    Nature is we, we are nature. Nature is not just a term, it is everything and anything, connected.

    We all have emotions, with this we all have anger, these are our personal powers. Learn about that which you use. Don’t just let lose such a force without first understanding it’s power. Understand it all, allow yourself to see the light and the dark, embrace and accept infinity.
    We are everything and nothing, truth and deceit, angels, devils. We are the world, an embodiment of the cosmos. So complex, so simple are we. Either you believe in yourself or you really believe in nothing at all.

    Questions for the gifted

    Thursday, April 3, 2008, 12:46 PM [Philosophy & Reflections]

    I wonder from all the beautiful, talented, and intelligent people around the world.
    What is your life like, what makes you happy, what do you think about the rest of us?
    Do you have the same desires, dreams, conflicts, passions, cares, or loneliness?
    Do you skate by with your gift, or do you strive for something more?

    Stimulate yourselves, whether it be carnal, passionate, intellectual, or spiritual. Everything else is a waste of breath.

    An explanation

    Thursday, April 3, 2008, 12:45 PM [Philosophy & Reflections]

    I find myself sitting here trying to figure out how best to explain myself. I know that I am driven by desire.

    I am tired of inner corruption, easily entertained, attracted to beauty in all forms, I despise lies, I am a loon, addicted to passion, a big kid, viciously protective, extremely open minded, loyal, sarcastic, primal, a pack animal, dark, self reflective, I also am willing to give anyone a chance.

    I refuse to hide anything anymore, I am what I want to be.

    Who are you if you hide yourself?

    I want to tell it all. The liberation of my own inner truth, once bound by socially repressed acceptability. The restrictions we placed on our own feelings, a repugnant taint on one’s soul. We seem to delight in illusions, manifestations of deceit, all poorly bound together by a cosmic clusterfuck of spirituality. Our worries, false ambitions, our fear binds us.

    I will be free, no longer will I allow my heart to scream. Every single event, every motion I make, I shall forever strive to just be me.

    To lie to another is to lie to yourself. So what if you don’t like me?
    I am sorry if my words cause you ill. I only speak that which I feel.
    It’s not hate, just my interpretation.

    I am not a fool, even though sometimes my actions are foolish.

    I am not a monster, I am just honest.

    What is really wrong? Wrong to lie, or is it wrong to hurt with truth?
    Interpretations.

    Now at the very least I am consistent.

    The Religion of Currency

    Thursday, April 3, 2008, 12:44 PM [Philosophy & Reflections]

    I am curious, I would really like to know what exactly was wrong about the Trade and Barter system?
    When did credit and currency become a religion?

    Everything seems to have been replaced without a valid reason other than to make men wealthier.
    Corporations are the new tyrants, they are small governments void of care, concern, or morals, most are only created to consume the resources of the lower classes. Endless marketing directed at our already lowered self esteem, we buy pointless items to ease our depressions,and our sorrows.
    We in fact are so overwhelmed that in the end we find ourselves unable to acquire that which we think we really need, an endless cycle of wants and regrets, is your blender really worth it?

    Why does water cost so much money? We pay taxes, When did all the people agree to allow others to buy and sell everything, even the very earth herself?
    Some things should remain sacred, revered, and communal.
    What sack of shit could sell of a vital taxed public work, like a cities water to another company, just so it can charge more for it’s own benefit?

    Why did we let them take any and everything we once had so they could just sell it back to us. They make us work harder for them, and in return make us pay more. Why didn’t we stand up, say no? Why are we afraid of these Corporations and why are “our” laws constructed to protect the Corporations from us?
