| My thoughts on life |
| If you want to hear a professional verison of what im TRYING to explain read the E-book you can download for free at www.thefreedomofchoice.com theres a link to it on my main page. This day and age having lots of stuff such as money, cars and jewlery determine's the success of your life, which is not be the way I think it should be. People think that if they have a big house that they're moving in positive progression because they will be seen as rich and above other people and that if they have a nice, fast and expencive car that they will be cool and be given more respect. But what happens when you die? and your physical body breaks down and returns to the ground? what will all those things do for you? In the last year or so, I have begun realizing what im on this earth for and what is right and wrong, I used to do drugs and other stupid things because all my freinds were so I thought it would be cool, and eventually I started to think about the pros and cons of doing drugs. First the short list.. pro's 1. It's a fun and different experience, thats all for pro's. Now con's, 1. waste of money 2. waste of time 3. waste of brains 4. ruins relationships 5. increases the odds of death from many diseases such as lung cancer and throat cancer, then I realized that, the bads far out weighed the goods. That and a real bad high made me quit, 2 years since the last time doing drugs. And i've never been more happy in my life. I do understand though, that no ones perfect and people make mistakes, but you have to learn from your mistakes, not keep on doing them. Some people think that they can go out and do a bunch of bad things and then ask to be forgiven and then it's ok. Then they go do them again and ask to be forgiven once more. I think thats wrong, you have to learn. I wish more of the world would realize what is right, and take a look at themselves to see what they can improve, and understand why they are on this planet, and what there purpose is, not just going through life not truly knowing what is it there doing and living in a thick fog of ignorance. People need goals and need to work on them, without goals why have life? why exist? If theres nothing your trynig to accomplish. I feel that if we truly believe we can do it, we can do it, this is easy to say but hard to do. With willpower and a want to change I believe anyone can change. Do we really believe you can fly? truly believe, not just say to ourself, "I can fly", saying is not believeing. I bet almost everyone in the world doesn't and wouldn't believe they can fly, so we can't, when we were brought up, we were shown what we can and can't do, what is possible, we gave ourselves limits and boundries, resticting our unlimited potenial. Even though this is an extreme example, I think you get what im trying to say, I hope. ( If you have any interest in what im talkin about read the E-book "freedom of choice"). seeing im just a 15 year old teenager, your more likely to want to listen to what the author of the book says, who has a number of degrees. He is a very smart man, his book let me understand myself better, which in turn let me understand life better, and all that is within life. |
| Who am I? Why am I here? What is my purpose on earth? Where am I going after I die?, these are the things that interest me. Life interests me, how we can live our lives never knowing why we are living them or what we are after. But we just keep on living day by day, having no ultimate reason to do so. Never understanding ourselves just knowing we need food, oxygen and water and some kinda of pleasure to keep our physical and mental states in good working order. What is the mind? What is spirit? So what if i have a brain and senses and so on, there must be something deeper, something much more important, something that has and will be around for ever.Whats left when you get rid of your sense of sight, smell, hearing, touch and taste? whats left? if you can't feel your body, see your body, smell it, hear your heart beating or taste what you ate, than do you have a body? you can't see "nothing" you can't not exist, I never started to see, it wasent like one day I was just born and I could see all of a sudden, there is no beginning, there wasent a specific time when i just began seeing and hearing, so there really can't be a time when I stop existing, what would happen? ME, I can't just stop being me, would there be any purpose in life? if I just disappeared one day, why would I work for my entire life knowing one day I will just die? and everything will be gone? would that make any sense? To me thats not what life is about, being rich isn't living good, all those riches will be gone when your dead anyway, I see that you do need food and clothes and shelter to survive as long as you can on earth, but what is really important? your mind! the only thing that is not made up of atoms therefore it cannot die, decompose, disappear or disolve. And it's the thing people care least about. Even me, I still forget what is important all the time, since if lived my life the same way all this time, and am now realizing what is important. Most of the people I know are living it the same way I used to also.Well I have alot of learning to do,I know pretty much nothing of what there is to know in life, and I am on a search to learn as much as I can! life is awesome and it can only get better! Hope you understood and respect what I had to say. By Ryan Hickey |

| 1 wish............for everyone, to be able to see the truth, and see past all the garbage that clogs our minds. For everyone to live in peace and help each other, everyones minds to be clear, and thoughts sound. The world would be perfect then. For everyone to realize that to understand anything, you must understand yourself first, how can you use a tool that you don't know anything about?, how can you do a job if you don't know what it is yet?????? Were all covered by a fog of misunderstanding and ignorance (except enlightened spirits), some more then others, but slowly, through understanding ourselves and who they really are, the fog lightens and slowly retreats from our mind, letting us see things that were once covered by the fog. Or another way to put it. Were like diamonds covered with layers of paint, and in time we shed these layers some faster then others. The more we shed the more the diamond within us shines through, eventually we can shed every layer and finally see what we really are. It was there the whole time we just didn't know it. Our minds are a lot like a pond, full of activity, clouded by the dirt of our ever moving and stressed minds. But what if you could stop the water from moving, and let the dirt settle back to the bottom. Then the water would be crystal clear, you could see the pond for what it really is, you could see everything. This is what Meditation does. Gives your mind a break to sort things out, and also a chance to look through the water and see what is really there. See our true self. |
