My agenda is much more broad than you are willing to understand. But then again, who are you to know what my agenda is? To be honest I’m not that easily offended, It was sarcasm. I just didn’t like what you said and felt the urge to defend myself and correct your empty way of poking fun at something you clearly overlooked.

My intention when I use my tongue and my typing fingers is to draw out exactly what other people are thinking or trying to get across. I then use what they replied to further my understanding of the situation. Which I suggest you do before so hastily reply. Normally I’m the kind of person who would make such pointless comments, but I’m trying to change. Instead of insulting you, I attempt to make you think, I change your perspective. But you refuse. All I receive is a snowball effect off confusion and slander. I wrote this about three days ago:

pure intention lost in translation
the thoughts swoon by persuasion
spoken perfectly loud, perfectly clear
or were you unable to hear?

You choose what this means to you. Personally, I could care less what means, but it seemed to fit.

enough said… ignorance. You say your intentions are pure and you wish to spread love. I’m not calling you a hypocrite, but this bothers me. Maybe I don’t understand what you claim to, but I’m clearly not a part of your agenda. Please leave me be. If I were you, I wouldn’t let what I say, or what I type, to offend you (you are supposed to learn and grow from it). I’m going through the same thing.

To be perfectly honest with you, im unsure of what i believe in

And that’s what I meant. So next time you try to bash my thinking 😯 or my perspective, come up with something intuitive and intelligent so that I can learn from it. Do you really get it?!?!?!

Stick that in your think pipe and smoke it.

I do not smoke. So put it in your own joint.

It was only a figure of speech, no reason to take it so literally or become hostile. I get offended real easy, you see, I’m very sensitive. You should understand that some things people say do not reflect their lifestyle. In my defense, there are lots of things that can be put in a pipe and smoked, other than marijuana; for example tobacco (which is totally legal and more harmful to your body). Not once did I come out and say that you should smoke, or that I smoke. Even if I did smoke or have smoked, does that somehow limit my credibility or morals? No. So if this was your way of keeping drugs off the street or to make a joke on my account, sorry. Sorry for being so serious, but I did not laugh. To write off what I said by associating it with something else (charged with controversy no less), is nothing more than ignorance.

It’s funny. This has a lot to do with this thread and this video. To ignore the message and focus on the fear. You say you do not like smoking and I assume that you don’t support people who do (for your own reasons). But those are your reasons. So if you could focus on what inspires you and what you could contribute to an idea someone is trying to portray, you could do a lot more good instead of suspending it. In the event that this idea doesn’t sit well with you, confrontation is important for the sake of communication, but not for a situation as trivial as this. My friend, you have looked to hard into the literal sense of the word.

thank you opalescent that was a nice video

I’ve only watched 20 minutes of this. hardcore stuff. I don’t how how people could be loyal to a government that disregards freedom and the value of life. It’s hard to believe that I could possibly be forced to make my own people suffer. glad i’m not in the military… i’ll finish watching this tomorrow.

[echo]

yes i do get it. control is a threat when you’re afraid of it. It also means you’re weak when you look for control to protect yourself from what you’re afraid of. revolution, change, through the eyes of the people not the eyes of those searching for power for small, empty things. Stick that in your think pipe and smoke it.

Thank you all for your help. I’ve read each of your posts twice so that I could soak it in. I think meditation could do a lot of good for me, so I will try it tonight before I sleep.

I am having a hard time with my “ego” mostly because there are some things that I think that I want to believe in or bring into my life. Is that selfish? “The choice of fear is the choice to have life be about you. the choice of LOVE is the choice to have life be about the One Infinite Creator.” This is also something I think about a lot. I can (at least this is how I feel) see god in anyone. I also like to entertain the thought that I can see it in myself; this is when my ego batters my head like a cat playing with a ball of yarn. Sometimes I feel like this multiplies my insight so I can understand the questions in my head. But I tend to coast off of this ego-trip and crash, leaving me confused and unsure what to believe in. This happens nearly every day and it leaves me feeling drained and somehow amused.

I have been having problems with what I guess you could call my inner voice. I’ve thought about it for a while and have come up with nothing but confusion and no sign conclusion. At first I thought that it was just my imagination generating thoughts for the fun of it. I’m the kind of person who will listen to what is going on, but think about something different. I guess that’s what you would call Attention Deficit Disorder. Even though I was diagnosed with ADD I never took it seriously, in school I was always able half pay attention and still retain enough information to pass my classes. but lately my conscious has been irritating me.

@Ascend2luv wrote:

I used to have conversations even arguments with the voice in my head.

Basically this is how I feel. I’m also an introvert; I hardly talk and spend most of my time thinking. So I feel like I’m constantly at battle with myself to come up with a coherent thought that both of my personalities agree on. It tends to happen when I’m at work or when I’m busy, or when I’m around a large amount of people. This “voice” does provide me with entertainment in the form of another perspective and helps me come up with some interesting ideas. Unfortunately this does have its down side. Because I’m thinking so intensely trying to have conversations or arguments with myself I forget about reality and work on auto-pilot. I don’t notice it, but I know that my face reflects the thoughts that float through my mind (i’m assuming that it looks strange for people that catch me while im so deep in thought). There is also another thing. I’m not sure what caused it, but I can only guess. My face has become contorted.

It’s weird to talk about, but have you ever noticed when you talk to someone that their facial features aren’t exactly symmetrical. An eye is higher than the other or whatever. I’m sure you might have even noticed for yourself when you look in the mirror. It’s something like that But for me it’s so severe that it’s like looking into two different faces. For those who took the time to read through this, it may seem like a strange thing to believe, but what I’m trying to say is I did this to myself. Somehow I used my mind the wrong way or not enough and I let myself fall apart and somehow misshaped not only my face, but my back/posture. It’s sad, but I can’t even smile, evenly anyway, so for the most part I don’t even try to show my happiness. I would post an image to show you what I mean, but It’s far too embarrassing. But the hardest thing for me to believe is that no body told me… Not my friends, my brothers, not even my mother. But I haven’t lost hope and there’s no need to play the world’s smallest violin. I’m attempting to correct it, I feel that my face should reflect what goes on inside; right now it’s a mess.

I wrote this the other day:

the fabric of time weaves through space
patience wanes from constant obsession
while you wait for your tale to begin
the smile fades from your face
my blank stare and empty expression
could never share what happens within

This is not the only thing that afflicts me. I feel like I’ve become crazy. I’ve actually come to terms with my insanity. My inner voice used to be rational, telling me how to avoid confrontation. But somehow the other part of me kept putting me in situations that required confrontation. I’m not sure what I was trying to show myself or to show other people, but I was stuck in constant conflict with myself and I still haven’t resolved it yet. But ever since this past spring and my visit to the hospital, my thinking has changed. It has become more and more unrealistic. Sometimes I feel like I’m having a conversation with someone else. It’s like a presence I feel, sometimes like a welcoming, comforting feeling, sometimes i feel like I’m tripping and it can be really surreal. At first I didn’t know what to believe. I thought I was talking to an angel, or god, even the devil. Then I thought I was telepathically communicating with someone I didn’t know. Like our minds were crossed and we never knew, we were just so used to thinking together. I also thought I was talking to everyone around me, I thought of every possibility I could come up with. Now, I’m not so sure. I don’t know what I was thinking, but I just can’t shake this feeling that this connection existed and may still exist.

“Stuck between channels my thoughts all quit
I thought about them too much, allowed them to touch
The feelings that rained down on the plains all dried and cracked
Waiting for things that never came” -Jack Johnson (sleeping through the static)

This was all before I heard anything about channeling or twin flames, the galactic federation, and light and dark workers. If anything all these things confused me more. But I have been patiently driven to find out more about the paranormal or spirituality. Sometimes it confuses and frustrates me to the point I can hardly take. But the strangest thing is, ever since the spring I’ve been noticing strange patterns and evidence of some deliberate design and the way I perceive things has changed. I’m attempting to charge my thinking positively by paying attention to my vocabulary, but it doesn’t seem to be enough. I’m even trying (not intentionally) to broadcast my thoughts or energy so that the people around me can see some of the light I might have found. But I’m not really receiving any solid feedback that assures me I’m not just slipping. The hardest part is the choice to ignore what you feel could be important and revolutionary or follow what could amount to nothing, robbing you of your mind in the process. (I say I’m changing my thoughts, but I can’t break away from this negativity. Why are both of the options I have both negative?)

I also wrote this, a while ago:

All he wants to do is show you
what to do and how he does
but became an part of something
that never really was.”

This might not sound like it, but this is a cry for help. I’m very lost in my own mind and I can’t allow that to happen. I refuse to miss out on what life really has to offer. I don’t feel genuine, accurate, or balanced in my own mind anymore. I feel like whatever I think is judged and criticized. Now that I think about it, it’s kind of a benefit; I get an indication when my thinking is off. But I’m afraid that I can’t become the change that I want. My ego, my shame, and the deep rooted pain from my past are a few of the things I struggle with every day. By writing this I’m not looking for pity or attention, but compassion and reassurance. I hope that if you don’t hear me, the universe will. I share this with the purest intentions and solemn composure awaiting anyone who is willing to address this broad and strange subject. Thank you.

A brand new baby was born yesterday
just in time
papa cried, baby cried
said your tears are like mine
I heard some words
from a friend on the phone
that didnt sound so good
The doctor gave him two weeks to live
Id give him more if I could

You know that I would now
If only I could
You know that I would now
If only I could

Down the middle drops one more
grain of sand
They say that
new life makes losing life easier to understand
Words are kind
they helped ease the mind
of this, my old friend
And though you gotta go
we’ll keep a piece of your soul
What goes out
What goes in

…so imagine graduateing from 3rd grade and all the bad kids get held way back…imagine living on a world that was like Detention Class !…some might catagorically describe that as Hell…

And some people would love it…

(unfortunately, I feel a rant creeping up) It’s all a matter of perspective. Shine you’re little flashlight of awareness a little farther to the left. Heaven and Hell are all matter of opinion. When was the last time you asked someone what heaven was like? Assuming you did ask… was their idea the same as yours? You don’t have to answer me that question, but you should think about it. Why does everything have to be graded? Top, middle, bottom. Best, average, worst. Good, neutral, bad. Instead of limiting your imagination let’s shine our flashlight a little lower… Let’s say there was a split (of reality, awareness, destination, fate, etc.), why not three heavens? Who knows, maybe three hells? Wouldn’t it all be a matter of perspective?

Cos at the end of the day duality seems to bind us.

I would agree, duality is binding. If you limit your thinking to two separate, but equal forces, we tend to confine rather than expand. But in doing so we design a sense of balance. I would argue that what you call duality is equivalent to balance. Its very basic, adding weight to one side of the scale causes the other side to rise, cause and affect. A straightforward concept that is often used in philosophy. This type of symmetry is found everywhere and can help by identifying patterns in nature, the mind, and in spirituality. I’m sure there are those who feel they can tune in to this frequency and determine the direction the planet is headed. Please correct me if I’m wrong, but those who call themselves lightworkers or darkworkers believe they can manipulate this energy. But then again this is only one way to perceive things. You could always disregard such concepts of duality. For me it’s hard to break away from this type of thinking. It’s kind of a fail-safe, that way I can say, “Oh, this outcome happened because of this particular event. Cause and affect.” This way I’m in control or at least aware of my so called fate. “My teeth fell out because I never brushed them” I choose to believe in harmony, because to me it is the most reasonable alternative to ignorance. Though I claim to believe in this yin and yang approach to spirituality, there is a lot I do not know. Is it my view of balance that keeps me from expanding or freeing myself from mental limitation or is it my lack of understanding that binds my creative mind?

I’d like to bump this topic.

I know this site is about spiritual awareness, our extraterrestrial family, and the development of love between people, but I still think what this touches on is considerably valuable. I’d say it has its very own chapter in the book of light. It seems people like to focus on the unseen, for whatever reason, maybe a desire to comprehend the unknown. Who knows? maybe there are other realms of infinite possibility or greater forces at work, but for me that isn’t exactly obvious. Before diving into the unfamiliar, wouldn’t it be wise to discover independence? What I mean by this is liberation from the social or mental matrix of control and class. Maybe I’m just preaching to the choir. Maybe that’s why people have come here? Is it because you’ve dismissed such thinking and are searching for something higher, something harder to define? Or is it just pure curiosity that leads you down the rabbit hole?

I guess what I’m asking is to keep the Zeitgeist message in the back of your mind, tucked away somewhere. Throw away the facade of differences and devote your attention to the similarities. Refuse to be submissive to deliberate distractions. You talk about raising awareness, maybe this is an appropriate start. Both of these movies have portrayed ideas that have stirred my mind for as long as I can remember and I’m sure I’m not alone in admitting this. It meant a lot to me watching both of these for the first time. It sparked a lot of curiosity and triggered a whole mess of questions. And I believe that is what is expected of us. To overcome and flourish. This isn’t an attempt to lecture anyone, but a chance to stand on the soap box. I’m hoping someone could take my notion to the next step so that my thoughts don’t become redundant, like echoing down an empty hall.

Much love and contemplation
