I think i'll start this thread and put some of my 'random thoughts' on it. Comment if you feel obliged to do so. - I like getting other people's perspectives on my perspective because it often makes me 'evolve' mine. Thanks for assisting me... well... with me.
An old friend of mine called tonight and very enthusiastically explained to me how she was going to be a 'big-time politician'. As i listened to her, i just kept saying to myself, "There is a real live person under all of that."
Struggling to make her reach a climax is just as much working for a goal as struggling to reach one myself. If i am having sex in her future, i am still not having sex in mine.
Almost any difficulty will move in the face of honesty. When i am honest, i never feel stupid. And when i am honest i feel automatically humble.
I need to stop consulting a clock to see if i am tired or hungry; i should just listen to what my body is telling me and act accordingly...
"Our nothing who art in nothing, nothing by thy name, thy kingdom nothing, thy will be nothing, in nothing as it is in nothing. Give us this nothing, our daily nothing, and nothing us from nothing as we nothing our nothings and nothing us not into nothing, but deliver us from nothing; for nothing. Hail nothing, full of nothing, nothing is with thee..." -Prayer to Nothing. (E.H.)
Wow! All those random thoughts in less than half an hour... that's rather impressive Tattooed one. I'm glad I'm not the only one with a deep sense of sporrraticness on the brain. If I could only express myself more freely, we'd all be more deeply connected. Ahhhh... so much to think and such randomness.... it's beautiful in so many ways.
~Homerj - Thankyou... You've made me smile. Yeah, i've tried yoga, meditation, and tai chi and i've never been able to quiet my mind; it's always so cluttered and busy... I actually have a journal that i keep my random thoughts in which is entitle "Disconnected Thoughts of an Aquarian" - go figure... So i thought it'd be cool to get other people's thoughts on a few of mine. Peace, don't be a stranger in my mind! (that last line was kinda lame, but oh well...)
Thinking is a symptom. That fear perpetuates much of my thinkinhg is obvious to me: fear that i might not become. Feeling my head with thoughts sometimes give me the illusion of not being alone. Trying to stop all thinking is like looking into one mirror reflecting another. To get free of the whirl i have created i must step into my senses. But isn't the goal to stop thinking just thought battling thought? I don't want silence as a rule. What i want is the alternative of a silent mind.
Meditation, Tai Chi and Yoga are all great theraputic activities. Unfortunately I haven't done any of them in a long time. I believe it's all about finding inner peace. So there's nothing wrong with disconnected thoughts... I too have a journal of sorts. Actually it's become a pet project over the years. During periods of bordom and random creative expression I dig in and add to it in hopes of developing it into something... I'm not really sure what it will be yet. Probably a book of events and theories that all tie together to paint a clearer vision a larger picture. Perhaps another website or maybe even a movie some day or a combination of all three.It's become a great outlet for creative expression. I haven't touched it in months, but last time, things started to really take shape (I think?). Now I'm getting anxious to get back to it... Unfortunately time has been an issue lately. It's kind of like this site... before you know it, hours have passed. Somehow, both seem to completely suck me in.
