This is beautiful, thank you. I have judged so many people in my life, and I have only recently realized how we close ourselves off to the true lessons of compassion and unity when we judge others.

I am also fascinated by your description of energetic tentacles. It is a very accurate description of how thought and intention creates reality. Well spoken.

Namaste,

Theo

Depressing yet hopeful…I know what a 4th step is, and I’ve had a similar experience with the ‘committee’ in my own head…

This one is easily one of my favorites. However, I sure hope cigarettes are biodegradable because if their not you have used Mother Nature as the trash can the modern world has urged it to be. There are very few people that can say they have truly changed for the better. May be for yourself or others. I think you may just save the world, one small insignificant teardrop at a time.

I moved east to try and catch up on time. It didn’t work. BTW, I like piccolos of profanity. I was the section leader of 26 piccolos.

Agent Smith: “Did you know that the first Matrix was designed to be a perfect human world? Where none suffered…where everyone would be happy. It was a disaster. No one would accept the program. Entire crops were lost. Some believed we lacked the programming language to describe your perfect world. But I believe that, as a species, human beings define their reality through suffering and misery. The perfect world was a dream that your primitive cerebrum kept trying to wake up from which is why the Matrix was redesigned to this: the peak of your civilization.” —The Matrix

We “chase the sun” because we need to struggle against something…anything. Without it, we become unhappy and unfulfilled. We might rail against it, but deep inside we fully understand that without it, we might as well be dead. We all are Willie Coyote chasing our own individual Road Runner.

Theologically, “the struggle” might even be the very purpose and meaning of life because it would seem that only through it, can we experience happiness. Have you ever wondered why God sent us here when he knew life would be excruciatingly difficult? I’m sure it wasn’t because he wanted to torture us. There must be something we can get here that we can’t get in heaven. If one is to believe that life is a gift not a test, then I suspect the gift has got to be HAPPINESS through the overcoming or acceptance of life’s struggles.

Interestingly but by no means a mere coincidence, one of the most powerful and transforming ideas in human history is: “We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the PURSUIT OF HAPPINESS.”
