Ditto, nothing is what it seems, nothing is what you were told it was and there is no map through this nightmare. I keep wondering why am I here, what am I suppose to do, what's the point, why do I know what I know, what am I suppose to do with it, where do I go from here???? etc.... I feel like an alien ! 13 Apr 2003 @ 06:59 by newdawn : maybe we are aliens?!!! 13 Apr 2003 @ 07:13 by petavie : Fine Then let me go home! 13 Apr 2003 @ 07:21 by newdawn : permission granted .,¸¸,.»§«,¸¸,.·´¯`·.,¸¸,.»§« »§«,¸¸,.·´¯`·.,¸¸,.»§«·.,¸¸,. 13 Apr 2003 @ 08:37 by waalstraat : I feel with you hi buddy Jenese, It is true the world is a dangerous, scary place, and we are going through a very dark period;where material power is amplified to a frightning excess by technology and the ablility to retrieve and store information. Confusion and manipulation of opinion is much easier to achieve through the lack of independent media and information bombardment--that's the bad news! There are untellable numbers of kind, generous, courageous, and compassionate acts and just pure goodness going on every second we exist. And it is because of that, that the world isn't a living hell for a large number of its people who for the larger part (at the time being) have a very good probabilty of operating withing their daily lives without being murdered, maimed, raped or violated other ways. Your feelings are more than just the beginning of clarity...You are you really putting down the groundwork to follow a spiritual path...no one starts out as an enlightened being although they start out with that potential. The spiritual path is one of lifting yourself up by your own bootstraps...so it an ego action, which one first choses to be on a spiritual path usually with no real idea of what that is. But as one developes spiritually,an accompanment of that progress is often a feeling of hopelessness. as ones illusion's start busting. However illusion transforms into compassion and the thickening of compassion which is the initial stage of becoming a true spiritual warrior and the weakning of ego...Spiritual warriors are those who are those who feel so much compassion that they are willing to delay ever their own full enlightment or nirvana/paradise/heaven... or th ultimate refined human state, to relieve the suffering of others; and help liberate them spiritually. So the quest is how can we best truly change the world in a positive direction. Is their a form of protest that can achieve that. If the form of protest, is angry, self-righteous, a more powerless analogue of what one is protesting against, then it will just be a catalast for even greater multiplications of the negative forces controlling our planet, politically and economically. What to do...protest with love, and expect to be ineffectual, but put it out their anyway...if, and that's a big if...you can truly do it with love and compassion as its ground...But in the meanwhile lets work on our selves so the examples we set for others, will be simultaneously a conscious raising experience, which is also a liberating one...in the End this will prove to be a expotential process...Am I a hippy, new age Idealist...I hope I am in the best sense of those terms. 13 Apr 2003 @ 21:58 by unity1 : thankyou all thank you all i was amazed at how many actually responed....suddenly the world dosn't feel so overwhelming...big heart felt hugs to all of you ... 14 Apr 2003 @ 01:13 by jazzolog : Heartfelt I'm with you too, dear Unity1. What beautiful musings! 15 Apr 2003 @ 02:11 by finny : I know what you are feeling I'm there too my NZ mate! 15 Apr 2003 @ 02:15 by jstarrs : This is the fuel... ...for developing compassion and understanding the human condition. As Bernie says, though, don't forget the moments of joy and join them up, like pearls. 16 Apr 2003 @ 22:49 by dharmicmel @63.202.153.165 : comments on late night musings on life jenese: no one really knows what the hell is going on; also, thee are hidden agendas, endless compromise, endless denial, lies, duplicities, and one mask after another; still, it is good to ask the question, because it means that you are aware, at least to some degree I feel everything in your message some of us are in this world, but increasingly, we are not of this world I have often thought that if we cannot change this world, then we will have to move on, and I mean that quite literally; I for one, cannot live in an existentially toxic life-dump site, which is what so much of the earth is becoming; I am not a pessimist, but increasingly, I do not wish to live in denial keep writing; wakefulness, even if troubled, is better than the trance state of the existential wall of sleep echo, great days blessings, and high thoughts p.s. "The darkness is death - we can speak, but we are not heard. We can scream but they turn their backs. We can run, but we cannot catch them. It is the dream where arms and legs won't work they way they should, and the air is too thick to breathe. Loved ones walk a mile ahead, forgetting to stop as we fall behind. This is the reality of the darkness. We are buried alive inside ourselves." Dana-Christene Umanetz dharmicmel. wednesday. 16 april 2003 ce 18 Apr 2003 @ 02:24 by vaxen : Hello... Jenese. Just wanted to add one more voice to the rest to let you know I hear you and concur. I do'nt know, either, how to fight the ongoing material/consumer juggernaught but somehow I will. It is really easy to get depressed for me too. But I've known all my life that we are engaged in warfare. A warfare more subtle and insidous than the one on the fields of Iraq etc.,...A war for our very minds and souls. There is a group of people, if they truly are people, on this planet whose only reason for living is to enslave us all for their own profit. They have no moral code and they are not ethical in the least in their procurement of their desires. Murderers, deceivers, liars, they are all of that and more. C.S. Lewis called them 'That Hideous Strength' in the third book of his 'Perelandra Trilogy.' Take heart, dear girl, and even though you are far across the oceans from me and others like me know that we share a common bond and want to see humanity free from the bondage which now destroys so many souls and bodies too. I hope you can take courage and strength from us through 'mind channels' we all share. 'Inter-Earth Neuro-Circuitry,' if you will, and keep writing, please, and know that you are'nt insane and that we love you.

(we need you) ;0) 19 Apr 2003 @ 01:28 by unity1 : im here for the long haul well...besides the fact that i get soooooooooo sea sick just thinking about boats...i think i will stay on mother earth....need to find out what is next..its like an unfinished movie...big huggies to you all Other entries in Peace 11 Jun 2007 @ 15:57: Playing Our Part: Enacting World Peace 8 May 2007 @ 13:25: Tripura Sundari Stotram 11 Aug 2006 @ 05:13: The Wedding of Humanity and Nonviolence 2 Dec 2005 @ 19:49: To Inspire an Adequate Response... 15 Oct 2005 @ 10:16: I'd Rather Be Grateful, Thank You! 5 May 2005 @ 20:15: Denying the Holocaust By Elliot Chodoff 21 Apr 2005 @ 04:57: Snowtree 6 Nov 2004 @ 16:59: A Message from One American to the World 19 Oct 2004 @ 17:27: A Modest Proposal 13 Sep 2004 @ 00:58: "War Is Not The Answer"
