Progression of Mind
The tender mind needs to be fed good thoughts to maintain a healthy mental state.
The newly self-aware mind realizes that it can feed itself.
The balanced mind focuses on feeding others, without the need for reciprocation, but is still keenly aware of the importance of feeding itself.
I Only Think of Others
Monk: “I have achieved an incredible level of disattachment from myself — so much so that I only think of others, and never of myself.”
Love: “Well, I have reached a more advanced state than that.”
Monk: “How so?”
Love: “I am so objective that I can actually look at another person as if he were me, and by doing so, I can think of myself!“
Never Knowing
We are all born. We all grow. We all begin to learn the ways of the world. We all feel the pain and suffering that comes with living this extraordinary and beautiful life. Being pushed to our own personal limit of sorrow causes us to seek an answer to, arguably, the ultimate question: What is really going on here?
Let me ask you this next question: Are you okay with never knowing the answer? This isn’t to say that there isn’t an answer, but I want to know if you will be able to go on living well without knowing whatever supreme truth you seek. Can you surrender to the tide of life? Can you feel at peace knowing that you may never know the secret to it all?
We love to torture ourselves. In order to continue the journey of seeking a panacea for our suffering, we inflict more suffering. We dive deep into the darkness of misery hoping to eventually see the light. Some are lucky enough to realize that the seeking is taking them further from the truth. Some, after years of journeying, sit down and breathe.
What if the answer is that you cannot find the answer by chasing after it? What if the answer lies in the present moment wherever you may be in life? Ironically, without the need for an answer, you have found the answer you were looking for all along. Life is a mystery and that’s how it wants to remain. Learn to be okay with never knowing and you will know what it means to live the way every person wishes to live.
The Friend in Your Head
There is a powerful voice that lives within the mind. It speaks down to you. It makes you feel small and unworthy of whatever makes you smile. It parades around boisterous and mean. Powerful? You bet! Unstoppable? Not a chance.
This voice lives on the surface of awareness. If you tread incessantly, you will forever be its prisoner. Go deeper and you will come to know what this voice is really trying to say. Go deeper and you will hear the silence between the words. Go deeper and you will know the voice is really a friend. Be still and this friend will guide you back to the surface of thought with a new understanding of how the mind, and ultimately the whole of existence, works.
When you become friends with your inner critic, you suddenly feel a new level of compassion for yourself. At this point, empathy for others is inevitable. Sparks of revolution, lightness, and calm will fill your days.
Go deeper. Be still. Resurface anew. Repeat.
I’m Back!
After a long and arduous journey to other far-off realms, I’ve returned to your beautiful planet. It seemed to be a perfect time to come back. Let’s chat!
You Never Die
In death, You become un-stitched Into tinier molecules. Into tiniest atoms.
Soil soaks you in Life swallows you un-whole For its own gain Only to be devoured more.
Perhaps by a human? What was once your own Has hitched a ride with another. Perhaps billions. You have been shared the world over Amongst beggars and Kings.
You do not vanish. You are no more. You are no less. You are. Always.
It's funny how happy you become when you start putting the happiness of others first.
Love
The Now and Nothing More
All that has ever existed or will ever exist is this very moment. Your past is no more and your future has yet to be born. Being tormented by your past is a useless endeavor. Being worried about your future is an impractical effort. All you can and must ever be aware of is this single slice of existence you call “The Now.”
The key to a peaceful planet is a peaceful self.
Love
Just Imagine...
Just imagine what a critical mass of formerly upright citizens might do if they suddenly saw the whole earth as a temple.
Heart Cells and Unity
Isolate heart cells on a Petri dish and the cells bounce to their own idiosyncratic rhythms. Place them beside one another and they self-organize into a collective beat.
What motivates Altruism?
A. Social Exchange Theory - A helpful act is never genuinely altruistic.
B. Reciprocity Norm - Returning help to those who have helped us.
C. Social Responsibility Norm - Helping those who really need it or are unable to help themselves.
D. A good ol' dose of LSD.
There is nothing noble in being superior to some other person. The true nobility is being superior to your previous self.
Indian proverb
Human Experiment #2: Plant-a-Person
Subject: Randomly captured human in good health.
Objective: Plant a Human up to neck in soil and keep alive for a month only by adding nutrients to the soil itself. No direct feeding.
Methods: Plant 2 Humans in a farm field. Give one Human LSD every 5 hours. The other is given nothing (Control). Enrich the soil with various nutrients.
Hypothesis: LSD will allow Human to connect intimately with soil and surrounding plant system, allowing for absorption of nutrients via skin.
Expected Results: (In order of highest probability)
1. Humans do not survive.
2. Human on LSD absorbs nutrients and water via receptors in skin. Control dies.
3. Both Humans absorb nutrients and water via receptors in skin.
Human Experiment #1: LSD at Work
Subject:
Randomly captured human working a 9-5 entry level job.
Method:
Feed 1/4 to 1/2 tab of LSD orally per day for 5 straight work days.
Expected Results:
Increases in: focus, love, passion, sense of self, sense of unity with everything, overall connectivity with people, emotional intelligence, job searches. A greater understanding of their purpose in life.
Decreases in: Hate, negativity, confusion.
May also quit job after waking up to the fact that the world needs their help.
Your problem is how you are going to spend this one odd and precious life you have been issued. Whether you’re going to spend it trying to look good and creating the illusion that you have power over people and circumstances, or whether you are going to taste it, enjoy it and find out the truth about who you are.
