day job

i work construction exactly speaking scaffolding

 

Maybe the dark is from your eyes.

 

same, although i'm in the process of looking for a job.

i study philosophy. i really have no idea where i'm going to end up in the long run, but i figure i might as well focus more on the present.

 

woods = win

I'm growing food

 

Maybe the dark is from jersey.

 

Yeah that'll do it.

 

Maybe the dank is from jersey, 14th medical state.

 

You speaketh the truth?

 

I show up but the only labor involved is to pay attention.

 

workin in a factory part of the time and makin jewelry part of the time

 

Again same here. I'm just taking general classes and have no idea what I should major in. Im just gettin enough money to get by, and when I need a little more there is always sellin droogs.

I feel like I should get a job, but I don't really know sometimes. Part of me just wants to get a job and just do the normal life thing, and part of me wants to renounce everything, move to the Himalayas, and master meditation and gain final enlightenment.

Really the latter of the two seems more appealing, but circumstances must be overcome, most people in my life just wouldn't understand.

 

I get paid a meager allowance to do well in college, i put left-over money at the end of the month into a drug fund and take from there whenever I want a certain drug. I've also made a bit of cash in odd jobs.

When I actually get into my career of computer science then I'll have a much bigger chunk o' change to trip on. Mmmmm, I can see it now, Kryppie, pins, blotters, and whatever else I want. It'll be fun!

 

finding a job is a bitch where i live. especially in this day and age. i'm about to resign to the fast-food route for temporary cash. and if that doesn't work? hmm...

 

haha now wouldn't that be great. but then even if you yourself achieved that then what about the rest of our species? they would still be living in suffering. that seems rather condradictory to the ideas of selflessness and empathy that are foundations for the concepts of enlightenment. aren't we all connected here?

 

The buddhist talk about this a lot. How Buddha, when he became enlightened, was in absolute bliss, and realized how bad everyone else was suffering. This is why buddha went around teaching is method, buddha had great compassion.

It is the dilemma between mystic and master. Many people become enlightened, but only so many can express to people, only so many have the great compassion to teach it to people, only so many become masters.

If I went into the Himalayas there is nothing keeping me there, after I reached the goal I could come back and teach. I found though being an enlightened being and sitting in the himlayas is doing more for people then doctors and police officers are doing for people.

Just the vibrations of peace, the ability to give the whole world your blessing. Just the raising of consciousness of one individual raises the consciousness of the whole. Plus you become an example, even without saying anything the silence teaches, even without becoming a master, the silence is penetrating everything.

Once you are free, then freedom rings off your being, it lets anyone who comes in contact with you become free as well. This is why I would be willing to go the distance.

 

AFAIK, that's how everybody makes money.

 

^Can you materalize it in your hand at any moment just by thinking? Or does it take a little time for the mental energy to manifest into physical energy a few days later in some inconspicuous way. Cause your not cool unless you can do the first one.

 

well i'm no himalayan master.

 

We don't live on money but reality supports life. It is enough to build a fusion reactor on the earth. It strains credulity to ask that we build a fission reactor on the sun. You can't do cool, but you can be cool.

 

If you cannot be trusted with unworthy mammon then you cannot be trusted with the keys to the kingdom. Until all of you wants one or the other, all lies in jest. I understand your calling and you must respond. Only the time you take to do so is optional.
