The methodology of methodical routes to the well of happiness is about as silly as one can get. In following predetermined routes to a predetermined outcome human compulsion can find fruition but what about the desire to overcome all obstacles towards the achievement of a promised spiritual freedom at the end of the rainbow? In framing the route we ignore the basis upon which it is built. We come to ignore our own nature in order to rely upon a man-made creation which promises the experiential joy to which we set our sights. In desire we loose our selves and in that losing we seek that which we have given up.
One thing that can be said of the mental state is that it never makes sense but to it's self.

It's amazing the amount of pain and suffering a slave will endure in order to keep alive a dream of freedom when in fact the reality of freedom exists purely in a mental state. This is the condition of today made manifest by human ingenuity through all sorts of means and ways. Mental conditioning ensures flawed conclusions thereby resulting in a detriment of man's earthly enjoyment. It's a downhill slide into a hell born from the mind of man and so life comes to played out exactly as it is wished for.
Breaking through ingrained conditioning is not an easy or simple task. One must develop an inherent desire to achieve that which is above and beyond mortality or else be left to the wolves to be devoured at their choosing. Although this planet falls under the domain of a self serving cabal, it does not mean that we must covet our place in the line of sheep on it's way to the slaughter house. It also does not mean that we must become self-serving in order to free ourselves from the self serving. Enmity begets...

Having the mind delve into the problem of human nature is like having a hamster seek for the end of the wheel. In order for resolution to take place one must look anew at the situation being attended. In other words, an exterior untainted perspective of what is. By it's very nature the mind is completely unable to sustain the required perspective without becoming completely immersed within it. What then, becomes the solution?
Obviously, the problem of human nature pertains to the mind and it's insistent altercation with reality. This is not an unexpected nor abnormal occurrence and as compelling a case we may create for it to be otherwise, the mind of man serves it's self. This is a key ingredient to understanding one's own nature, not one's human nature but one's nature based in reality.

In the peace of mind man can come to achieve great strides in reaching the goal of self realization. Quieting the inner voices of insanity, we come to be free of our own torments thereby allowing ourselves the freedom and choice of creating our own destiny. We each have a destiny which we fulfill each and every moment and until we achieve the ultimate victory of overcoming ourselves that destiny become quite apparent each and every moment as we realize the full effects fraught upon ourselves by ourselves. How is it that the same insanity continues and yet we think that we are free of it?
In thinking of our freedom we simply move the walls of our own prison to accommodate our new needs and thereby allow ourselves to relish anew the experience we most wish for - and yet the walls remain. It is not others who serve as guards to ensure our supplication, we have only ourselves to face to understand our own circumstance, forged by our own hand. How is it that we so enjoy playing hide and seek with ourselves?

Light travels everywhere. From sun blinding heights to the darkest depths, light comes to be seen - and appreciated. Looking up into the heavens one can sometimes catch a glimpse, or two, of events born of time and space interacting with the universe in a macro and microcosm fashion, after a fashion. You see, events in this universe are always of purpose and design whether apparent to earthly observers or not. Mostly, this aspect of life remains cloaked and hidden away by our own ignorance of our place, and everyone else's for that matter, in the universe. Nevertheless, we are not alone and observable events can only be surmised in relation to pre-existing data. Sometimes, completely outside of our own small realm of existence, things happen away and apart from us which come to be clearly unbelievable and therefore ignored. Being unaware requires a so-called 'innocence' of mind but nothing is further from the truth than this. We do indeed exist in the universe and just as surely we chose to blindly traverse...

It matters little which class of elitist shill occupies governmental offices of 'power' from which the populace are used and abused to no end. For those on the low end of the totem pole the only choice available is to go along to get along or else suffer the consequences. For those without a cause, living one's daily life is about all there is - that, and the effort of trying to stay out of the way. It's no secret that the 'common' man is the one who shoulders each and every consequence of those who rule from behind closed doors. Is it any wonder then that since no recourse exists nothing is accomplished.
Whether one's personal property is ruled by European minds or Oriental concepts matter little as the end result is the same. Freedom does not exist but in theory and in actual fact is vehemently disparaged at every turn, all in a politically accepted way of course. Politically accepted, meaning propagandized into forced acceptability by the herd. We do indeed have no choice.

Walking the streets of fire, reality comes to the fore in order to bring about desired consequences. In action all consequences bear fruit. In so doing the future becomes not only predictable but ensured. In compartmentalizing one's born again characteristics one lives, and dies, by their own hand. Creating a better world is something left for another as the meek inherit the earth.
Indeed, the meek have inherited the earth, mostly through attrition. Elitist rulers, bent on subversion, are not only of weak mind but of weak character. How are all those of such fortitude to rule when the masses do not exist but in one's hopes and dreams of conquest? If one becomes the illusion then physical forms matter a great deal and so fear comes to roost in the most humble of abodes. I see dead people.

Man is obviously so very much trapped by his own design. His thinking reflects his state of mind and in this circular route of implosion eternity takes root but not before much trial and tribulation. Fighting tooth and nail the mind-full seek no way out but through their tried and true methodologies which of course land one right back to the starting point. Progress does not exist and yet the illusionary reality of our own making tells us otherwise. We yearn and learn because we must, at all costs, go some where and do some thing. Inner upheaval drives man to the brink never to return. But there is purpose to this and at the end of the road we come to find that our own limitations is what has spelled our doom in the first place. It is a war we cannot win but try telling someone of this. And so the world comes to be played out before our eyes in all of it's imagined gory and glory. Let's face it, we relish living the life we live otherwise it would be very different. To pretend otherwise merely illustrates the...

Immorality on this planet has come to reach new highs and in the depths of despair it's inhabitants seek out new ways and means of escaping justly deserved recompense. Inventing new conceptual escape routes in which to take refuge, pride knows no bounds and in the deaths of millions, billions are surely not far behind. Perhaps if we do nothing, nothing will occur. In this demented torment daily lives come to be played out as seen fit by the all mighty hand of darkness. If slaves are not to be made then surely birth will provide the means. Redefining the existence of life, it all comes to mean domination and control. The weary see nothing but their own plight and the watchful are fast asleep, immersed in their own dreams of dreaming.
The end of time is already here and stranded are the wayfarers. Is this the place reserved for us? Is this the time to which we have ultimately come? Duly following the path as those before us, we have arrived. Does it give one great pleasure? Is one greatly rewarded in being...

Man by it's inherent nature embodies the urge to consume the universe, to consume every last particle and thereby to embody something much 'greater' than itself. Man's playground is the physical universe and in this sandbox life, living and learning along with death and taxes go hand in hand. In it's consumption of that which lies exterior to it's physical shell, man will go to the stars never to return. This is indeed a one way journey but perhaps that journey is not quite fully understood in it's conception, complexity nor purpose. In this turbulence there just is no time to 'figure it all out' and so man continues to be relentless as time passes it by without a fleeting glimpse, nor care.
The body of man demonstrates itself is so many ways and means. Among the populated planets congregations abound in their whims and fancy, portraying ideological axioms as fact and fiction. Man is fully impressed with man and so acts accordingly.

From heaven to hell our route consumes us in our quest of movement through time and space. Where we go and what we have done comes to mean little as we dive head first into the next action scene of our devising. Strange as it seems, we do indeed create the feet to tread the path we lay before us. Is it any comfort to know that as we look ahead the horizon expands and as well look behind the horizon fades. Coming or going its all the same thing.
Humans tend to do and say the darnedest things but that is nothing in comparison to our spiritual efforts. Hands down we win even time - even when we appear to lose. Our love of life knows no bounds and in this nether region of existence only our time of here and now becomes important. Leaving all else behind we pretend to move ahead unaffected. So much for the here and now.

As we are ever between lives it cannot exist separate and apart from ourselves. Imagining a world where the collection of souls is nothing but a job promotion is one which obviously creates nothing but a pain-full route to rebirth - again. If spiritual existence is contemplated as a reality then how is it that we overlay that reality with fanciful notions created from the depths of our experiential track. We do indeed create the life we live and the death we follow. From cause to effect we become caught in the wheel of life. How is it that we profess a spiritual inclination amidst such deviousness.
Left to our own devices, we wallow. Pulling one's self out of the mud by and through our own boot straps takes no great courage. Where the courage lies is in coming face to face with our existence. If it is true that we can do anything forever then perhaps the answer lies in our doing, in our thinking process which precedes it. Before movement can occur it must have already happened.

We all have our own unique devices that we use to interact with life and living and as always, somewhere along the way they fail us quite miserably. Time after time we pick ourselves up and try again using some perverted approach which is sure to fail us. Getting smarter along the way is not for the intelligent for in the world of intelligence our spirit fails us. Separating and creating the distinction between spirit and embodiment we set up housekeeping ever meandering between one and the other. Falling with grace is something which is neither desired nor looked well upon. We are, after all, running away from it all are we not?
Finding peace, we promptly destroy it. In our unquenchable lust for more we become fruitfull and multiply thereby ensuring and prolonging our pain and suffering. Killing ourselves slowly, we resist the temptation to be what we are. Spirituality is for the weak of mind and in their loss, we find comfort. Nothing is to be given up in our total conquest of all that we survey. We are,...

Breaking out of our shell takes a great deal more than just wish-full thinking. Since we are already immersed within our selves exterior thoughts and ideas become self-sacrificing in that the mind will not allow them to see the light of day. The mind's protection mechanism is used as an explanation of how materials unsuited for an individual at their current stage in life can be considered harmless. The mind's protection extends well beyond this idea and as always, can be considered to be detrimental to one's spiritual journey.
Since man is already consumed by the mind and lives by it's consent, if becomes very, very difficult to even see anything above and beyond it. The mind's protection is the monkey on our backs, ensuring that behavior conforms in thought, word and deed. Is it any wonder then that Scientology auditing requires role playing as 'pre-clear' and 'auditor'?

Forged in a fire which burns coldly in it's heart, waking up is not always an easy or pleasant thing to do. Facing our own torments, we tend to run and hide. Of course getting there is half the fun and so we come to relish the opportunity to escape. But where is it that we will go and what is it that we will do? Have we not already done and said enough yet? Has not our cup runneth over?
As we spill our selves out into the world we come to be everywhere at once always tempting and tempted with new experience, new thoughts, always something to hold near and dear to us. Clutching, we ever fail to grasp the concept and so relinquish control to might in the hopes that conquest will be ours.
