Men Who Stare at Goats salute to Mother Earth

"Mother Earth, my life support system, as a soldier I must drink your blue water, live inside your red clay, and eat your green skin. I pray my boots will always kiss your face, and my footsteps match your heartbeat. Carry my body through space and time, you are my connection to the universe and all that comes after. I am yours and you are mine. I salute you." -Men Who Stare at Goats

to be timeless

why is humans desire to be famous and noticed so strong? and it continues to grow and grow. in the 90's it was America's Funniest Home videos. now its YouTube. and I'm not innocent. whats this blog other then my attempt to have people notice my thoughts. The question of why we do this lead us to independence vs conformity. we want to be individual people. we want there to be something special about us, something memorable. the strive to last longer than ourselves. its the strive to be timeless.

• What if expectations didnt exist?

How would we decide what colleges to go to, what our profession should be. we would never be able to be let down because we would have no expectations of anyone. but would we ourselves be able to productively function without any standards that we are being held to?

• Does internet personalize or de personalize?

Scientific Findings: Ziggy Marley Through the Walls of My Conscious

I hate that my life always needs to be moving somewhere, going somewhere. This thought came into my head and then realized that I was listening to Ziggy Marley's,"People get ready, the trains a comin." How strongly does our subconscious affect our conscious thoughts? I hadnt even thought about or was listening to the music, I was in a different world, but yet the idea leaked through. Just 10 minutes earlier, the thought came through my mind that I really didn't need all my cool personal items. (I'm writing this on a Mac) All I really needed one someone who I really loved. then I came back to real time and the song play was Ziggy Marley's, "All I need is you"

My subconscious mind morphed someone else's abstract work, analyzed it, and turned it into something that effected me. How much of our lives do we unknowingly analyze and turn it into our own? and the Nature/Nurture argument continues.

Thanks spell check.

Why do suicide bombers exist? Some say they are crazy, but they are doing what they believe in and see as right. Just as others may see what we do as crazy and unjust. All we really can do is what we think is right, because what else do we really have? We can all lead our lives differently, no matter what, in the end, we will all die. Sure there might not be anything beyond this, or any purpose to what were doing on earth. But, there also might be. And there is literally nothing we can do to find out which it is. not nothing like we can find out what the answer is if we can pull a few strings with the right people. There is actually no way to know the answer while were here. So, how do we run our lives? The only fulfilling thing you can do in your lifetime is to do what you feel is right in your heart.

"The truth will set you free"

We will be in Purgatory until we learn the truth. While on earth we have a set period of time (our lifetime) to gain as much knowledge as we can. In purgatory, we have indefinite time to learn until we find the truth. Once we find the truth, we will be in heaven. "The truth will set you free" Heaven is freedom. It is freedom because we will see that we are all one. If we are all one, we can be anything, and anything can be us. We have the ultimate freedom to be the wind, birds, waves, children. Heaven is the truth and being one.

Thought Clouds.

Why do I feel like I avoid more accidents and am more confident in my driving when I am blitzed and thoughtless than when I am sober and concentrating on every flick in the road. because instead of filling my head with thoughts of different circumstances, I clear it and allow a path for immediate reactions triggered by instinct to drive and avoid danger. Our minds interfere with our instinct.

Are we rational before we over-analyze;

or does it take analysis to become rational?

Text Messaging.

International War and Drama is the exact concept as the thing that starts so many fights in high school relationships: a text message being interpreted wrong. Sarcasm cant transfer through text message unless you know the person, what they mean, their background, and how they are on a regular basis. A language is what it is because of where it comes from and its history. While someone can be fluent in a foreign language new to their family, they will never be able to have that quality that makes (for example) americans, americans. Language will always separate us. and because of how much it separates us, anytime a serious issue is pressed, there will be misunderstandings, and at a much higher stake.

We're two of a kind

Forever we've been combined

Though the current will pull us apart

Two drops in the ocean

You are part of me

The other side of the sea

And we will be together one day

Why cant I daydream through the night? when my life is days passing by without any definition. Whats the purpose of sleeping at night? why not in the day? why do we allow society to outline our lives. why do I feel bad for staying up late, even if I have nothing to do the next day.?

Why have I reached the point that I need anonymous approval of my thoughts? Why does the angry drunk frown upon me for smoking and loving? When will I allow myself to bee free enough to ignore society? I need to be in the water. We are suspended in water. Like a movie everything is in slow motion. Our weight is lifted.

Come Together

“When the power of love overcomes the love of power, the world will know peace.” - Jimi Hindrix

We go through this life on different tracks to death. The only things we can really take with us are our souls and minds. Through experience we gain knowledge; In knowledge, we are enlightened. Life on Earth is our first step. Our ability to survive is tested. How we survive defines our experiences. God has ultimate wisdom. He is the creator. but not only is he the creator of good, but also of evil. evil so the good may learn and grow in wisdom. If god is in every one of us, then we are all the same; all one. we are god. At the end of our path of enlightenment we will fully understand and be at one with everyone. by loving and accepting; our empathy and wisdom grows. Its been said for years. all the hippie love stuff the 80s sing about is real. we are all one. true knowledge is coming together and being one. we are on earth to learn and grow and help others learn.

"Were here for a reason. I believe a bit of the reason is to throw little torches out to lead people through the dark." - Whoopi Goldberg

Our individual purpose on earth is to enable human kind to gain knowledge as one people in order to help our bigger purpose once we are enlightened we become one spirit and exist through each other. We must put it upon ourselves to tell the world of peace and love; to lead others into the light.
