Individuality

      What happened to the strength of the individual?
     
      That power within us that makes us stand up and fight instead of cower when our lives are under threat. It seems in short supply these days, and I fear that it will only dissipate quicker with time. Things were easier when we were children, before self-doubt and insecurities tore apart our confidence and took from us our sanity, or at least our clarity. We live lives we know are unhealthy and destructive yet we avoid any real change within ourselves. We blame the world for where we are, it's everyone else's reluctance to change that makes it pointless and worthless for you to try right? Wrong; do you really expect anything to change when you stay locked into your own rigid mindset? Because if so your wasting your time and fooling everyone around you. Stop living based off your animal instincts, and realize we are aware, conscious beings!! You can not blame others and make excuses for anything you do our say because regardless of what you think, you were aware of it. You had the choice, the chance, to change that thought, those words, or that action instead of letting your subconscious reign over you. I'd almost envy an ego death because isn't that the next progression of human evolution? Eliminating the negative thoughts, the unconscious animal mind that controls our jealousy, hatred, lust, greed, etc. All leftover traits of a dying species, just look around you. If you believe the world is thriving your misguided and living in a false reality.
     
      The own Earth is fighting against the destructive qualities of human beings. Look at the record number of tropical storms, earthquakes, and other natural disasters occurring these days. I'm not preaching a dogmatic view of some future judgement on Earth that will take all sinners to their Hell. Nothing as simple as that could happen, when will we realize heaven is merely a mindset. It's nirvana, its Tao, its inner peace and outer reality. These great religious leaders Buddha, Jesus, Mohammad, Moses, they all had very similar doctrines at heart. But we as humans took there teachings, distorted them, turned their words of how to live enlightened and twisted them into false ideologies. Now they're merely an extension of our misguided view that empower our false self. A way to separate each other by letting us identify ourselves as right and others as wrong over a topic we can never truly know the answer until we're dead. But I ask of you not to take this as some agnostic rambling against humanity but rather as a small step in the blueprint of enlightening yourself. I'm noting the problems I see within ourselves and explaining how it manifests externally throughout our world due to our inabilities to handle, deal with, or even notice the problems. Open your eyes and look at the beauty in the world, the flowers, streams, rivers, birds, canyons, mountains, etc. and just think that maybe the world isn't the problem. Maybe, just maybe, we're our own worst enemies.

The Dangers of Boredom

I feel as if I have been slowly conditioned into an insidious boredom, that consumes my thoughts with compulsions to do meaningless actions to distract myself from observing the world around me; and by doing so, this boredom has obstructed any possibility of perceiving reality in any true sense and has lulled me into some fantasy world that I feel I may never truly awaken from. For the terrible truth is my whole life I have not lived, for I have had any sense of true freedom stolen from me by the very people who attempt to force me to stay in this dream world. So it seems I must begin anew, almost as if I need to be birthed again and brought into the world as an infant and relearn what it means to be human. Since it seems we are rapidly losing that very humanity that sets us apart from other creatures on our planet. As our culture degrades around us into more and more shocking events that seem to stem from some arrogant, immature desire to simply out-do others in an attempt to show sup...

Mary Jane's Freedom

Marijuana does not have a very good stigma in the United States. It has been used for centuries without much incident or turmoil; but the last 100 years have been quite the opposite for cannabis. Cannabis, or hemp as it was more commonly referred to, has been used by tribal leaders and spiritual shamans forever to cure illnesses and pains. Its influence even stretches all the way to the Declaration of Independence, which was written on a piece of hemp paper. Back in the late 1700’s it was grown for a wide plethora of uses including such necessities as writing paper, rope, oil, clothing, and even shoes. That’s not even to mention the list of medical ailments that cannabis can help treat and even cure. Even though cannabis has all these well-known uses, the new century brought about a propaganda campaign against marijuana that rivals that of the Third Reich. Born out of the racism brewing within the American people and the distrust of foreigners, the government decided to jump ...

Crossroads

Take a moment and breath, in then out, slowly but surely release for just a second that tension you carry heavy on your shoulders. The chest contracts then relaxes steadily now and pulse slows back down but the cold feeling doesn't quite leave. What is this frost, this numbness that bites through to the soul. Feeling less than numb, more than sober, worse off than one could tell. It seems that no light shines at all in this darkness, this purgatory like void begotten of all the warmth once known. But wait, the glare of the moonlight catches the eye of the bewildered man and steals away all vigilance, leading the man astray into the woods. He began to stumble, darkness still prevailing as he fumbled into a vast wilderness of the unknown. This pervasive black sea seemed to smother the man, his sorrows drowning out the fear as he beat his way forward. Bewildered before, now thoroughly lost the man looks up and realizes he has hit a crossroads. Seeing a sign he moves fo...
