Your not going to like this....

Better not read this one....scroll on down to something else....I mean it...the poems may not be very good, but they aren`t going to piss you off. Really, think about it... I`ll give you a moment..............................................................................................................

Well, if you`re still here, you`re asking for it....ok then.

You`re probably wasting your life... 99.9% of the people in the world are. One could say it`s not your fault...you were born into a situation and you went along with it. It seemed to be the right thing to do: everyone else was doing the same thing. But, if you didn`t have to worry about survival...if you got an education...you really have no excuse. If you had any time on your hands to look around yourself and notice what was going on, you had time to ask a question. And the question you should have asked is "What really is going on?"

"At the college interview I couldn’t tell
Them what I wanted to be, which may be
Why I didn’t get into Harvard…I hadn’t
A clue…I just wanted to find out what
The fuck was going on with having a life
Anyway…which no one I encountered
Even seemed to consider…like life was
A freight train I was on, going where no
One knew, but I had to get with that
Program, in some way, to be some how
Successful at something, while, all the
While, we were all barreling along towards
Some unknown destination. It never made
Sense to me…"

Forget about religions...none of them have a clue. They all believe something, which is anathema to the truth. It took till college till I found what I was looking for...Buddhism. It made sense to me right away. It still took a couple of years before I could meditate properly...it was hard to get into it. And it took years and years of practicing it before it ever seemed to be making a difference. Now I can say it was the only thing in life I did that was worth doing...and still is.

It's hard to find the Buddhist teachings...meaning it's hard to connect to them. It's said that it's as if you were a turtle in the ocean and somehow you managed to find a yoke in it and got your head through it. You could read a basic book on Buddhism and it might not make any sense to you. This is due to your karma.....your energy momentum that causes you to be interested in whatever you are attracted to. So, even if you meet the Buddhist teachings, there might be no connection.

I wasn't trying to insulting anyone. The truth is the truth no matter what it says. Most people go on in their lives as if nothing is happening around them....as long as they have their cars, their pizza, their retirement plan, they could care less. And if they don't have some of those things, they think that once they get them they won't have to worry or think about anything else. Stupid.

Buddhism is not a religion. Sure, it's been organized a lot in different parts of the world, and that's created some problems.
But if you read the Buddhist teachings themselves, you can see that there are no beliefs in them. They are a path to the awakening of the mind. They are practical and rely on critical intelligence. They are the science of the mind. Medical people are just discovering some of the benefits of meditation. Scientists recognize their importance in the study of phenomina,
These are recent revelations to science, but these teachings have been around for 2,500 years.

Scientific rationalism was touted as being saving grace of mankind...it would solve all the problems. What science didn't count on was the greed of the human mind, which has taken scientific discoveries for the sake of greed and used them selfishly, the result being life on the planet is in danger of being destroyed. So much for another belief.

There isn't much time left to wake up before it's too late. The handwriting is on the subway wall. Indigenous peoples have been saying this for hundreds of years by now. I'm just one of hundreds of people saying the same thing. Maybe only 5 people will read this blog....maybe one will hear what I'm saying....maybe none. But I have to say it....

"If your children knew how pathetic you are, they'd murder you in your sleep." Frank Zappa to the audience at Whiskey-a Go-Go....circa 1969

"One may imagine the sight of billions of ants on board a driftwood, floating on a fast-runnning stream. The ants are apparently unaware that their driftwood is nearing a cararact. They seem to be even ignorant of the fact that they are on a driftwood. If they were aware, how could they afford to hate one another, scheme against one another, and be occupied with greed and hostility?
The minute when their driftwood falls down the cataract, what would anything mean to one or another ant, friend or foe?
This pathetic sight is nothing but an epitome of today's mankind." Tamo-San from the Book of Last Chances

I warned you.
