Mysticism

The cosmos. Forever forbidding. Dark. 

Since the dawn of history men have created, built and discovered things. Things to shelter them and shield them from the unknown and the mysteries of life. Fire to hide them from darkness. Buildings to shield them from the outside. One of those things, the most powerful construction of them all is their reality. 

     Most stay locked in a self made prison of their limiting reality for their entire lives. But a few men, break free of this prison. The "conventional wisdom" of the masses. Some break free from the self limiting bonds of this prison, and they do not shrink from the unknown. 

What few have is the courage to unlock the power within their own hearts. The separate reality. Where men's souls shape the forces that become their lives. 

The courage to leave the rest of the world behind and to stand and face against the unseen subtle perils hovering thick and black around our fragile existence. 

 

Back

The strength of the back is the power of the unseen. The power of faith in a ghost of a concept, expertise in self deception for the purpose of always increasing power. The spine supports the strength of heart and spirit. The stronger the spine, the stronger the soul. 

Back gives strength to balance and to the spiritual world of the in between. 

As the spine extends, consciousness is uplifted and freedom engulfs the human body as negativity and attachment are let go. 

Fear of pain, fear of fear, and fear of the uncertain possibilities of freedom are what blocks the way. Filling the distance with cold savored possibilities, already prepared comfort zones. Sex is an inevitability. It isn't scary when you give it up.

2 Thoughts

Tried some meditation today.  I think now is the perfect time to start making this a frequent habit. Or actually not habit, because to me a habit has the connotation of being something that is routine. This is not something you want to be necessarily routine, or just going through the motions. 

As I found myself going "deeper", for one thing I was able to achieve some moments of powerful inner peace. I did not consciously attempt to think anything. But the thoughts that did enter my mind happened to be the exact issues which I need to be facing right now. It was cool to see that my subconscious mind is working for me in a  positive way by revealing and forcing me to face those most pressing issues. To me this a powerful sign that I am successfully building myself in a positive way. 

2nd Thought. Just realized today how amazing it is that all people change and not always in the way I've expected. The friends I thought I would be close with are drifting away, and as some people turn more and more negative, I find myself having to place much less value on interacting with them, and making them less and less a part of my life, until probably they'll be phased out altogether. At the same time others who I never thought I'd keep in touch with I am now hanging out with them consistently. Once negative people have changed their character, and we are able to support each other and share the unspoken positive energy of being committed to becoming better as a person. 

When You're a Stranger

I have to post an amazing quote by the top copywriter in the world. John Carlton. 

"We have to constantly remind ourselves we're strangers in a strange land."

A thought this brings up. Anarchists have always been known for their destructive tendencies, vandalism. It must be they just feel it necessary to kick the beast. But why is that? Anger? Is it ever really necessary to kick the beast. I don't know. Its impossible to really know what if any effect it has. I think about this pertaining to the many people who just don't "get it". People who nobody ever to them to just BE COOL. I think there is a place for tough love. 

More Dogs of War

Recent realization. One of the biggest dangers that hold people back is that small inner experiences most deem as harmless are actually killers. Buzz killers, agents of the enemy. These have to be eliminated immediately. There's no telling how much bad energy can hold a person back. Assassinate the glitches of inner human experience and thought, both conscious and unconscious. One of the best ways to empy the teacup. 

I Can't Hold My Tongue Any Longer!

Just got a couple emails from Zach Even-Esh, and he was saying pretty much the exact same thing I was thinking. Enough with these sissies whining and complaining night and day about the economy! Seriously I know its some tough love, but any time I start hearing the victim mentality I know its needed.
How many of those complainers are out there hustling and busting their a$$ to make things happen!? I just got offered a job on the street on my way home a few minutes ago okay, so things can't be that bad.
If anyone remembers the scene from Spaceballs where the guy says "I'm surrounded by assholes!"
That's how I feel right now.

"I'm surrounded by complaining wusses!"

There was a great quote from a recent movie that came out. I forget the name, but Jack Nicholson said it.

"I am not a product of my environment, my environment, is a product of me."

Quiet Desperation

This is a fascinating topic I have been thinking about for a while now, and deliberately getting in touch with. It can be an incredibly powerful and motivating, driving force, or it can be crippling. For most people it brews and bubbles far below the surface, they are rarely conscious of it, and when it does creep into awareness, it is quickly shoved back down. 

I think they key is to recognize those moments when it comes close to the surface. Be on the lookout for it coming, even in the peripheral vision of consciousness, and then focus on it as hard as possible. Feel it. Surrender to it and then erase it.

I'll give a hint; think whenever there is a cold silence between people.
