    Most of my memory of life is from 1999 and up. and the war. and i just gotta ask. is the world just LIKE this when ever somethign happens and a "war" takes place. I know the conflict with the middle east has been going on for a while now. all this commericialism, uptight people, everyone declaring some state of emergancy, patrioticism (its clear that patrioticism increases majorly durign a state of war, dont need to clarify that) how long have things been like this. the open minded people of before (not even that long ago) have suddenly become close minded and highly insecure. everythings an issue.

    society has always been this way. "openminded" people have always been a minority,and those that control society have always seeked to dumb them down and force them to conform.

    the problem is that thru sheer numbers of sheeple they are slowly achieving there objectives.

    just remember that many of the close minded sheeple of today were the flower children of yester year.

    expect it to get worse as you grow older...

    ja ...the man hhb ..he be correct
    HOWEVER....a wee little secret to let you in on....you Create your own reality...you See you can actually control how you react, what you dwell on, and even how you color your perceptions....and so Life can be a wonderful marvelous place even amoungst ass holes....we all gots to learn ...but we do get to choose what we draw to ourselves by the decisions we make and how we See the opportunities in front of us.

    Being vulnerable and open and ready to adapt to whatever comes Knowing that you can ....gives you a strength of mind that no depression can conquer !

    Blessings Be along the Way

    Namaste

    You can BE whatever or whom ever you think yourself into being.

    You don't have to dress a certian way or live in a tent to be of like mind.. you can have a nice home and drive a good car/truck/van, you don't have to eat granola and bean sprouts or OM/chant, it is not the flowers around your head but what is inside your heart.

    It's the choices you make for yourself.. what you draw to you by actions. what you surround yourself with.. what you fill your life with, who and what you trust from instint.. what your gut tells you is the right choice.

    You don't have to be a hippie to love.. you are not a non hippie if you do not look the part.. Peace, Freedom and Love is for all and the Energy is there for the taking.. slow down and listen to nature, open up to the universal flow of Enegry. 'I am you and you are me and we are all together' We are All from the same Source, we are all connected.. we have the same desires.. we procreate and mke a better life for our children.. we work, we play, we laugh we cry.. we all bleed red blood.. in the end we all return to the same source without judgement, our lessons learned.

    Love and Learn

    That is basically life.....every living thing has a struggle of some sort or other through out it's life time......to become "static" in one's existence is giving up the ability to think for one's self...thus becoming stagant....and the sheople of society today have become complacent in their lives....giving up their thought process.......just as a stagant pond eventually dies....there will always be the bottom feeders(free-thinkers as society sees them) that will break through the layer of scum on top to get a glimce of sunshine ...to encourage it's drive to survive.......


    for every action there is a re-action..it is the order of nature...you cannot have good with out bad....light with out dark....it's the ying/yang of existence....and the individual's ability to put these aspects in balance to achieve the most fulfilling life........happiness is not a place...but a direction

    just as you have to open your eyes to see...you have to open your mind to be

    The post-911 era is nauseating, to say the least. But don't let it bring you down. People have gone through similar eras before and made it through ok. It takes some time for people to wake up and realize they've been lied to and taken advantage of.
