The foundation of learning and understanding... includes this most important speech (Carl Sagan's Pale Blue Dot). The picture of earth in a sunbeam should make everybody sit back and reevaluate that which is most important in their lives. I think if we eliminate our self deceptions and the deceptions we cast upon one another, mankind will be able to access more of his mind than ever before. Those who are trying to make this most important change are in the same clan as I am.
Passion is the fuel of perseverance. Experience comes from that. It is through experience one gets appreciation for this life. And it all starts with pursuits of passion above all other things. If you know what you love and you love what you do, then whatever happens alongside will be in for hell of a ride... a memorable one!

It is a most difficult thing to front one way and believe in another. People do this everyday. They do this because they were told one day they needed to do this and they needed to do that. It was time to grow up and abandon the very dreams your parents encouraged you to have as a matter of basic survival. For many people, this death is forgotten because they become overwhelmed by the fantastic "responsibilities" associated with living on the grid, on credit, with banks owning everything until you pay them off with interest. During the next years and/or decades you involve yourself in this system of beliefs and in doing so become something far removed from what you used to be... just to get ahead or make more money. You cannot front being in heavy with a lifestyle that requires you to pay for an apartment or home and a car and all the rest of the bills... and do so with no resentment toward yourself, the job, people you don't know, whatever. If you are going into this system, it is best to go all in and get whatever you get out of it. You have to believe in things in order to make yourself commit to the... violence.
Television is responsible for taking the masses apart, piece by piece, so they will continue their slavery in the hope that things will one day change. Well, nothing will change, ever, until one drops that which is binding to them, that which blocks off and keeps them away from becoming who and what they are and were meant to be since childhood. There is no reason to abandon dreams. Choose a dream to live and live it!
I think it is time to expand a bit. I am not looking to change anything but me. I see, in my age, troubling signs for the future. I see too much of one thing and not enough of what truly matters. First, opinions about music videos and whether someone likes them or not is a waste of life and a waste of time. I simply do not care what people think of music. Music is what you make of it, just like life. In life, we all have choices. We can be like him or her and moan and groan about our job, our bills, etc... and then keep getting up to do the same thing again with the same result. It's a trap and it will eat your soul away and whiddle you down to nothing. You will get old and wish you did it differently. The time is right now to let go of everything that brings you pain or sorrow or hardship. It's time to restructure our thinking, our perceptions, our way of understanding the larger picture. The fact is, we need more poets, more creators of majic, more expansion into the unknown, more of what makes us the individuals we all are. What is it that makes you who you are? Show me, tell me, talk to me about it. I don't want to hear about your job, money... nothing, but you. Because it is you who is important and it is you who can become whatever you want. Don't be defined by your status. Be defined for your love and appreciation for the life you have and the freedoms you enjoy. I say, exploit that freedom. Use it! But hurt nobody or anything. If you have something to tell someone, make sure there is an uplifting quality to the words you choose to use.

There is without question linkages between what is on television (fake life, secondary life), music (tone creates energies, thoughts, emotions in human beings), politics (deception, lies) and the real world. In many ways, the fictional world makes up a significant proportion of every activity generated by the masses. Yes, exceptions are real and true for some people who see and understand these deceptions and linkages. But this kind of a study never really ends and is always in need of being updated. Unfortunately, the pull of television and movies and other things like sports and entertainment pull us all away (with fiction and the perceptions derived from said fiction) from our free thinking selves. In essence then, for a significant and measurable proportion of the population in this country there is mass amounts of influences that are literally designed to remove folks from who and what they are in their real lives. Opinions and perceptions come together in a cohesive bundle of deception. I mean, real life is work, paying bills, dealing with things as they come... and so on and so forth. Yet many of us hate the real world realities we slave ourselves out for so we can have money to pay for things we were told we need (taxes, mortgages, got to pay the banks because they own everything you have: house, cars, etc... until later in life when you pay them all off, sell, travel for a spell, gamble some, and then age out and die with everything you have ever earned being used by family, sold by family, or simply squandered by family, friends, or strangers. By the time it's all over, you will have spent almost 1/3 of your entire life working to make someone else more money. Make your own music. Be your own person and recognize the pure evil that surrounds us all.

Everybody should get lost in their darkness at least once. The odds are nothing will happen unless your natural tendency is to take things too far right from the beginning. No! It is something you ease into more than anything else because little by little everything changes... even the food tastes different.
A seemingly rational friend of mine in his 30's was about to start an argument with me recently where he was going to take the side of video games being just as much a reality as anything else. He did not clarify in his statement as to video games being separated from reality, but part of a reality one chooses that operates separately from what we all still understand reality to be. His side was going to be that reality is video games and vice-versa. Certainly with the amount of time he gives personally to video games I can understand how he can see a good portion of his reality being that of a video game. The question then becomes... what next for him? For the rest of us?

It is terrible to witness someone you love deteriorate before your eyes. I've heard a lot of people talk about the experience and I have read about it and seen it on television, but none of those things compare to real life experience in this area. I guess the first part is living with an understanding that it is not about you. What is happening is happening because it is happening. It is the fault of nobody. I can understand how people can be selfish in this kind of situation and speak about themselves and how they feel. I suppose I can say with certainty that the person I once knew no longer exists. She was gone a long time ago. In the big scheme of things, what is happening could be viewed as somewhat of a blessing. Maybe that's just me looking at the bright side of things... a rare occurrence in my life. I guess there will always be music that moves me and the game that brings me the most joy.

The authentic man is held to a position which is set in stone. In his mind, whatever is chizzled into that rock is golden in its wisdom. At the same time, another authentic man see such a rock and appreciates what it stands for. He may even marvel at its meaning and ponder it once again for a while as it may be familiar to him. He will then walk away without giving it another thought. Later on that day another authentic man may come across the rock and decide to break it into pieces with a sledge hammer. He may only manage a chip off the top of the rock before a ranger comes over and detains him. While waiting for the police, the ranger may ask the man why he did what he did. The man may say, "My father loved this saying and was responsible for this rock and he beat me." Man has many sides. Some are revealed and some are concealed.

Influences show themselves within the work of individuals in whatever they do. If what they do is based solely on a passion of theirs, then their influence will be recognizable immediately. Rarely does an occasion present itself when a sound or color or image in ones mind is directly linked to what is being presented. That is a direct line into the subconscious mind of another person. If there is real power on this earth, that is where it stems from....

Maybe it's just the bad days when I sit back and reflect on just about every negative thing I can think about thinking. Sometimes bad days come in strings and them strings can go on and on for days on end. I get to feeling comfortable in the sadness which altars the entire mindset of me and everything in this world. I am afraid I am on a bad quest that will only bring hardships one after another.

Young people need to remember what and where they are in this... universe. In fact, many of us need to recognize just how small we really are in this life. Much of what we believe we were taught to believe. It is a rare instance when learning about what is a "staple" form of learning (God, He with the most wins, Everything the government says is right and true, your/my religion is best because..., it's quite the list) and concluding the whole thing was and is nothing more than a sham. Book stores are still filled with self-help this and self help that. It seems everybody needs to be seen and heard. But no matter what we do in all our self importance, all our judgments and grandiose ideas, nothing can change the fact that we all live for about 75 years and then we become part of the earth which is very, very old. The earth herself is but a minute speck in a vastness nobody can possibly comprehend and things don't matter. Man is an explorer, but as far as he goes now is his television screen. Mankind is more alone in this condition than he has ever been before in the history of humanity.

Many of the self-help books you find for sale on the market... were written NOT by who you think. They have the face and the name and the reputation, that is all. There is always seemingly random themes involved with each one book. Yet they all follow the same general patterns with clever marketing and costuming to sell us on the point. Yet, if anybody really wants to make a change, they will. Some may never get themselves to wanting something so badly... wanting to do something or be a part of something so badly that the thought of being without for one more minute is too much to bear. For some, that kind of change must and will remain a dream. Only a small percentage of people would think of such a thing and actually be the change they want to be. For example, weight loss books and videos and all kinds of other things have been pushed on us all for decades. Yet, we are all literally surrounded by fast-food. It takes time to put weight on and it takes time to take weight off. After a few weeks one gets used to the idea of eating for nourishment versus eating out of habit, boredom, or because of the way you were brought up to clean your plate. The decision to change your weight comes from one source and that source is strong enough to make that kind of change. You will overdo it at first. But in time you will carve your way through all the muckity muck.

I don't think being comfortable is the true goal for me in my life. I will never understand the concept of being comfortable. Ben Hogan said, "There is always something left to work on." It seems to me that any worthwhile pursuit initially takes more than it gives. Once "a" goal is reached, there needs to be another goal. To reach a milestone, for example, it may take 8 goals reached along with years of mid-morning mudslides with balding tires before someone hits their mark. Another person may come right out of the gate and find his or her way. In any case, no matter what the goals are, no matter what is trying to be achieved, in the end it will be the process that will be remembered most. And the deepest part of such a process involves only the memories you have never shared with anyone... but yourself.
