nah, new york is a figment of the imagination. it only "exists" because we imagine it to. we also imagine that certain specific people have more or less amounts of authority, so we allow "police" people and "congress" people make decisions for us on how to live our lives. but they aren't real things, just constructs of the mind - of everybody's mind.

if everyone woke up tomorrow and decided there was no state of new york, the land and buildings and people would still be there, it would exist, but it wouldnt be new york anymore.

if people woke up and just decided that america was all just play acting, then there would be no more cops or judges or lawmakers. the people would still exist, they wouldnt die or disappear, they'd just no longer have any of the made-up authority.

the laws against marijuana are all just made up too

course just cause all this stuff is made up doesnt mean its not more sensible to play the game and follow the rules sometimes"

There is no government, no reality, the world and your life is what you want it to be, there is no use complaining, others don't want to hear about how you screwed yourself. The world is WHAT YOU WANT IT TO BE. YOU MADE YOUR LIFE AS IT IS.

When you wake up in the morning and look in the mirror, are you who you want to be? you can be anyone, act anyway, do anything you set your mind to. Life is a wonderful thing, and a terrible thing to waste.

if you are sill maturing, you are still learning the rules, playing the game. you are setting the foundation of your life. After this point you can still change, but it is more difficult. Not more difficult for yourself, but for others to grasp and accept.

Reality is an illusion. Authority is a sleight of mind. Do not bother with either. Authority is whoever earns your respect.
Reality is whatever you want it to be.

Don't play fool the rest of your life. You can make as much of a difference as you TRULY want to make. Others have the same mindset, i assure you. There are power in numbers.

If you are happy with your life, and are a happy person, happy things will happen to you.
If you are depressed and down and disappointing with your life, and act this way, then depressing and disappointing things will happen to you.

DARE TO BE DRUG FREE: (haha just kidding, moment slayer FTW)

My point is there is no reason for you to ever be sad. to ever get down on yourself. just continue going with the flow. I am a very laid back person. as i assume most of you are. I was in the car on the way home from school today, with my father, we got stuck behind a red light, my Dad cursed. 20 seconds, oh lordy lordy, how will we live? Right now i have about twenty pages of homework due tomorrow. i couldn't give a shit. nothing matters in the long run. You will still be yourself, and life will still be how you perceive it.
sure i might have a shitty job, and less education. but do I really need to know the stuff I'm learning? or does society need me to know.... Don't get me wrong, i am a very smart individual. I take pride in my intelligence. But there is a difference. I get good grades in school. but it is not because i am told to. not because if i don't I'll get grounded, to tell the truth i couldn't care less about the consequences. no one has control over my actions.


There is NEVER a need to get frustrated, to become deeply saddened, or any other negative state of mind. For noting matters in the long run. If you are frustrated or angry, just blow off some steam; getting angry won't solve anything











If you are unhappy with your life, you can change it. there are no boundaries.

i am a satanist. this means i do not beleive there is a messiah, a god, a satan, a heaven, a hell, a holy book. This is different from atheism. i live life to enjoy it, not to get angry, not to whine and bitch.
i do not see a point in religion, i think it's all for control.

just live your life, and don't look back, no regrets.



cheers.

Thank god I didnt read that.

 

It's weird how you are a SATANist but you don't believe in SATAN.

 

it's not meant to be taken literally. by connotation i am an atheist. but by denotation i am a satanist. i described the meaning in previous post



i honestly do not remember typing that. what the fuck happened :-?

ive been known to sleep walk.. what the fuck!?!??! how the hell did that happen.... some of the stuff i wrote up there i dont even beleive myself....
but a lot of it i do, but its not worded how i would have worded it....

dude im sorta weirded out right now..

COUGH*schizophrenia*COUGH

jusstt kidddinn bout schizophrenia.. but not about me not writing that...

 

Dude.... I was totally just thinking about that.. Like that exact thing... I find it very interesting especially when you talk about how people get stressed out and pissed over such simple things... My parents basically hate the way im so laid back.. But be careful theres a fine line between laid back and pure apathy which is no good either..

Heres a quote for ya

"Dont worry be happy" Bob Marley

Most people on here im gonna assume know bob marley if you dont gtfo but anyway i think thats the perfect way to think... you are what you make things, perception is everything

Say for example you wake up in the morning and think "Aw fuck i got a math tes today and i gotta do this and this and this" look beyond those words to what it really is you have to do and you'll realize those are simply trivial things you are compltely blowing out of proportion.

ever since the summer ive developed this mindset and it has completely changed my life.. like completely, totally, everything, im so happy to wake up and just LIVE and i think about all the cool shit thats gonna happen that day and life couldnt be any better i totally mean that... Life could not be any fucking better

 

^^ same situation here...

except i am dumbfounded at what i think i wrote. unless somone else wrote it...
but how could they? most of the stuff on there i agree with... just not in my words..

 

and the two examples i gave are things that happened to me... but i eneded up doing all the homework...


and my life is perfect too. i dont see how anyone could ever get stressed.
i only get impatient.. IE: homework... i dont mind doing it, just the time it takes.. which couldnt have been spent doing things i enjoy anyways....

 

great thread, + REAL satanism is the worship of yourself as a god, self indulgence.

all the wanna bes are the ones who sacrifice animals etc

 

I realized that about 2 years ago.. I think this was also around the time I started smoking, actually.

In general, though, I've always been rather laid back.. but I remember this intense feeling of not caring for anything that wouldn't affect me directly.. I think at a point I was pretty apathetic towards many things.. but I found a nice middle ground and it's all good. i think that made snse.

 

I met a satanist once, he was worried that a bunch of pagans wouldn't be accepting. he was really nice, not like what people think satanists are like.

you ought to read A New Earth by Eckhart Tolle. its very redundant, but worth the struggle. it talks about how most people identify with things that are not what they are. Thoughts, possessions, family when identified with, feed the ego, which is a fase representation of yourr self.

I am not my past, i am not what i think, i am not my family, or my house or my life. i am the conciousness that is capable of thought, in the moment. this moment is continuous. if you are always planning for the next moment, you will never get there, because time is false. now my brain hurts. read the book and you'l get what im trying to say lol.

I have had bronchitis and a really horrible sinus infection for the last week and since I couldn't smoke I took the opportunity to trip using 1st plateau doses of DXM. I did nothing but lay in my bed because I had no energy at all and I was in pain, then two days ago I found the energy to go outside, and it was beautiful. I usually worry and nitpick about everything in my life that could or is going wrong, but after that trip I have adopted a much healthier view of, "Everything is going to work out."
I'm amazed at how much of a life changing experience it was, I love this feeling of peace.
But in terms of the U.S. we're going to have a major recession and maybe even a depression soon... The whole world's economy is tanking.

 

what a bunch of fucking shit. just try to imagine being born poor homeless, fatherless, motherless, posessionless. maybe then ull understand why people "get stressed" some times. alot of this is just fucking ignorant. u think u can acheive any thing u set ur mind? bull shit. cancer isnt gonna be cured by somebody really wanting it to happen, it is going to be discovered by pure chance, on accident. life is nothing but chances and all u can do is make the best out of them

 

i try to be a satanist, but sometimes im just an arrogant leo trying to come out on top, and pretend like im not yet on top - so i still have a higher top to look forward to.

 

fair do's the opening post just sounds like a cliche peak point in any good man's acid trip.

 

I was reffering to the people on the forums. None of us are starving, none of us are in poverty or homeless. We should be thankful we are not, and we have no reason to get sad. Nice flame attempt though. Nice state of mind too...

 

Pain is entirely relative...to a man who's never had his eyes gouged out, a hang nail can be extremely painful.

 

actually, you're the one who's ignorant. almost everything the OP said is true. sure, you might not be able to cure cancer but you can still take it in stride and accept the fact that you're going to die. this way you go out "happily," in a sense, rather than being pissed off about your fate. it is what it is. and sure a lot of people are poor and don't have much money but some of those people are even happier than the people with a lot of money. money is the root of all evil, along with women. you can have all the money in the world and still be a miserable prick. you can also have nothing but the clothes on your back but as long as you find happiness within yourself, so be it.

i felt like posting this song that i really like:

right where it belong by nine inch nails

See the animal in his cage that you built,
Are you sure what side you're on?
Better not look him too closely in the eye,
Are you sure what side of the glass you are on?
See the safety of the life you have built,
Everything where it belongs
Feel the hollowness inside of your heart,
And it's all... right where it belongs

What if everything around you,
Isn't quite as it seems?
What if all the world you think you know,
Is an elaborate dream?
And if you look at your reflection,
Is it all you want it to be?
What if you could look right through the cracks,
Would you find yourself... find yourself afraid to see?

What if all the world's inside of your head?
Just creations of your own
Your devils and your gods all the living and the dead
And you're really all alone
You can live in this illusion,
You can choose to believe.
You keep looking but you can't find the woods,
While you're hiding in the trees

What if everything around you,
Isn't quite as it seems?
What if all the world you used to know,
Is an elaborate dream?
And if you look at your reflection,
Is that all you want to be?
What if you could look right through the cracks,
Would you find yourself... find yourself afraid to see?

 

True dat man. I come from an upper middle class family. My best freind can hardly afford his trailer. He lives in a trailer park sorts near my beachhouse. He is the happiest most optimistic guy ive ever met. In re trailer park there's a family. They take a walk to the shore every single pretty day and watch the sunset, they seem so happy. My FAM is sorts nice to eachother. We only get along or even talk much to eachother when were on vacation. ENT get me wrong I love everyone in my FAM. But were just so.. Idividualized I guess..

I love every aspect of my life. Living my dream. Although I am satanic, I am a guy of faith. Everything happens for a reason.

 

ands I do realize Americas poorest would be considered rich in the rest of the world
