| 03-24-01 Is something oFf here? Is there a paTtern that we don't see which is prohibiting our judgement? What if we knew the big picture? Died, only to come back to tell all. What would the big secret be? I am guessing there is no secret. But like God, we have created a concept to fascinate the world over and keep people searching. If we keep searching than there is no reason to sit down and face the music. Close our eyes and wonder about the evil instead of facing it head on. What happens when the eyes turn to stone? The ears turn deaf? The voice mute? Why is ignorance bliss and knowledge such a force? Once aware of the truth, we can see the real effects of good and bad. And maybe see that there really isn't a good nor an evil, once again these are concepts. Governing a man's life is a huge responsibility, once too big for the most powerful man on earth, even if he is qualified. When a group of people are allowed to govern themselves even may not work for the human spirit only prevails in moments of despair. How to tell the why's of life than? Complication is what we have to overcome. Oversimplication maybe our first mistake. A man may lead, but it takes many to follow. We don't need issues, we need ideas, we don't need programs, we need a vision. And after all of that, there still will not be a following. So live how you want. Be free how you want. Laws are there to make an example, schools are there for the future. But there will always be examples and the future will always come whether we like it or not. People's lives can be improved, but they want to want them improved. And for this we have to show them what is oFf. That the paTtern will continue to repeat unless we stop the wheel completely and scurry off into the great unknown. 04-05-01 People work. Things work out. Sometimes for the best, and rarely for the worst. The extremes are so that in the middle we all lay. We stand as a cushion, waiting to be poked and stuck into by the needles of conflict. A barrier between good and evil, rich and poor, greatness and destitute. And most people deserve to be somewhere in the middle.. Because it's lonely at the top, and repressing at the bottom. So we cheer in mass, pray in mass, cry in mass. Among one of us the thoughts vary, but the place does not. Earth. The bigger the problem the more we come together. That's why personal problems are personal and come first, but when it's time to come together we know our duty. It is our duty to care. It is our duty to fight against oppressors. It is our duty to share with our fellow man the gifts that we have been given. It is our duty to love. Go out and be plenty. The basket of life should be filled with many fruits, of many different flavors. Tread lightly with the basket for fruit is fragile. Work hard. Love hard. And in the end, be proud. 6-14-01 The antithesis of madness is sanity. Sane people walk through life with problems. They carry burdens of work and children and spouses and parents and money and frustration and every single time they have failed inside a little ball that sits in their stomach. When scientists look at the human body, they cannot see this ball. If a corpse sits on a table, he is free of this ball. This ball, along with his soul has left his body. The soul however goes to the pool of goodness from which all life is created, while the burden ball travels downwards. While we are living our soul englufs us, it is around us, it is an aura that shines more brightly for some lucky vessels. The burden ball always starts out the same for every human however. It simply is a point in space. It could be any point, but when a baby is born it is the first point of space that he or she sees. This is when this ball starts to build. Everytime you don't get what you want as a child, it grows. Negative comments from parents,peers, teachers add on. The ball sits there inside of you always eating away. Every medical problem you have can be blamed on this ball, it took away from your concentration, it made you drink alcohol. The ball controls you. You can run from it. Sure there are positives. But time always catches up to it and you know at any moment it can strike you down. Like the myth of sisyphus you carry this ball around going through your pointless life. Does only death free you? Can love make the soul forget? Will humanties ball one day take form in the ultimate evil? Good and bad fight it out, we are simply their pawns. One day we will be released from the burdens of such guides, and then will we be human? What will our true freedom be? Let go Let go Let go I beg of you. Expand infinitely into the beyond. Understand the reality and unreality of what is not. Vagueness has meaning. Meaning's are often futile. Heed the opus. Die and be free. Live and have the illusion. |
