What would you do first if you are in a situation like:
The baby is crying.
Clothes have spread out and it has started raining.
Water is flowing from the tap.
Doorbell is ringing.
Phone bell is ringing.

Think about what you will do first then what second and so on…above all be honest!! Scroll down to see the explanation.


Each action reflects your priorities that you have set in your life. Take a look at the following table to see which priority corresponds to which action.

Action Priority
Attend the phone Career and job
See who is at the door Friends and relatives
Pick up the clothes Sex
Attend the baby Family
Close the tap Wealth

For example if the first thing that you did was to answer the phone then your biggest priority in life would be your career and job. Similarly if the fourth thing that you did was to attend to the baby then your fourth priority would be your family.

51 TO 60 POINTS: Others see you as an exciting, highly volatile, rather impulsive personality; a naturalleader, who's quick to make decisions, though notalways the right ones. They see you as bold andadventuresome, someone who will try anything once; someone who takes chances and enjoys an adventure. They enjoy being in your company because of the excitement you radiate.

1 TO 50 POINTS: Others see you as fresh, lively,charming, amusing, practical, and always interesting;someone who's constantly in the center of attention,but sufficiently well-balanced not to let it go to their head. They also see you as kind, considerate, and understanding; someone who'll always cheer them up and help them out.

31 TO 40 POINTS: Others see you as sensible, cautious, careful & practical. They see you as clever, gifted, or talented, but modest...Not a person who makes friends too quickly or easily, but someone who's extremely loyal to friends you do make and who expect the same loyalty in return. Those who really get to know you realize it takes a lot to shake your trust in your friends, but equally that it takes you a long time to get over it if that trust is ever broken.

21 TO 30 POINTS: Your friends see you as painstaking and fussy. They see you as very cautious, extremely careful, a slow and steady plodder. It'd really surprise them if you ever did something impulsively or on the spur of the moment, expecting you to examine everything carefully from every angle and then, usually decide against it. They think this reaction is caused partly by your careful nature.

UNDER 21 POINTS: People think you are shy, nervous, and indecisive, someone who needs looking after, who always wants someone else to make the decisions & who doesn't want to get involved with anyone or anything. They see you as a worrier who always sees problems that don't exist. Some people think you're boring. Only those who know you well know that you aren't.

Analysis
The Forest & the Path
The Cup = Wealth
The Water = Sex
The Bear = Stress & Problems: How you deal with them
The Beach = How you relate to people


The Forest & the Path

The Forest is your 'life' & how you see it. If you selected a forest in daylight this would strongly suggest you are generally very happy. The more light your see in the forest the more content you're likely to be with your life. If you selected a forest at night, it suggests there are some major things in your life that you'd like to change or are dissatisfied with and that you're likely to be under stress for some reason. If you selected a forest at dusk or dawn this would suggest something in between, that there are one or two things in your life that you'd like to change.If you saw a path in the forest you're not yet settled into your life as it is. Younger people usually see a path. Why is this? The path is symbolic of where you're going. People still finding their way in life are more likely to see a path. Those more settled in their direction or place in life (usually older people) are less likely to see a path.

The Cup =

Wealth

The cup is symbolic of 'Wealth" and your approach to it. The question gave you the chance to see any sort of cup. A tea cup, a sporting trophy, a tin cup, even a steaming cup of coffee! This question gave you the opportunity to reward yourself. If said you saw a cup that appeared valuable then you rewarded yourself with something of value to you. If you didn't see a valuable cup then you didn't give yourself a reward when the opportunity arose.
If you left the cup alone you were given the chance to take a reward but left it behind you. Either wealth has no real value to you or 'Wealth' is something you think you've got to work for.
If you picked the cup up and then put it down again you were given the chance to take a reward and then you found an immediate use for the cup and used it there & then. Many people see a cup of tea or coffee & drink it. Did you do something similar? You left the chance for reward behind you & found a practical use for the cup. You took a 'here & now' approach to the reward.
If you used the cup but then left it behind it means that you were given the chance to take a reward, you were curious enough to pick the cup up, but left it behind you. Either wealth has no real value to you or 'Wealth' is something you think you've got to work for.
If you took the cup with you then you probably saw a cup that was in some way valuable to you. You saw the chance to quickly reward yourself with easy pickings & you took it.

The Water

= Sex

This is the one you've been waiting for. Water is symbolic of SEX for everyone, even more so for women. The depth and speed of the water you see is indicative of your attitude, appetite & approach to SEX.The speed at which you see water moving is an indicator of you appetite for sex. But, not necessarily your need. The slower the water, the lower your appetite. The faster the water, the greater your appetite.The depth of the water is an indicator of how you see & what you want from sex. If you saw shallow water then you are able to reach fulfillment from deep & intense lovemaking. But you enjoy a 'quickie' just as much. In fact it's probably a preference. If you saw fast moving water too, 'little & often' is for you. If you saw deep waters then your love for the 'deep & intense' doesn't mean you cannot enjoy the 'quickie', it's just not a preference. You get true fulfillment from deeper & more intense lovemaking. For you, still waters run deep. The ease with which you cross the water is an indicator of your attitude & approach to sex. The more easily you crossed the water, the more comfortable or liberal you're likely to be in your approach to sex.

The Bear

= Stress & Problems:

How you deal with themThe bear is symbolic of problems & how you deal with them. The question gave you the chance to see a problem. If you saw a Teddy-Bear or Winnie-the-Pooh then in relative terms your life is stress free & when given a problem you don't see one. You're pretty happy with life too.
If you saw a real bear you were given the chance to see a problem. People under routine-stress will see large & very dangerous bears.
Equally a bear you're ignoring or was ignoring you, is indicative of how you see stress & problems when they're presented to you.If the bear hasn't see you or has seen you but is doing cute 'bear type' things then you don't have many real problems in your life. You're not under everyday stress or worry. Given the chance to see a problem, you didn't see one. No bad thing.
If the bear has seen you but is minding his own business then whilst you have the usual problems in your life, you're not under unhealthy levels of stress or worry.
If the bear has seen you and is looking threatening you need a holiday! You're under high levels of stress or worry. This could be unhealthy.

How you get round the bear is indicative of how you deal with problems & how you resolve them. If you answered that you were considering adoption then your approach is very different to other people's. Unfortunately for them, most people are under much more stress than you.

The Beach

= How you relate to people

The beach is symbolic of how you relate to people around you. How many people you pictured on the beach relates directly to the number of people you want around you. A truly socially gregarious person is most comfortable in the company of a large number of people, and seeks the audience (this personality type sees a beach packed with people). At the opposite end of the scale, those people that see a deserted beach are happy with their own company. They're very happy to spend long periods on their own where others would feel lonely.
If you saw hundreds then you're quite a social animal, a person that's very comfortable in a crowded pub, club or bar. You may even seek them out. You may like an audience. Where're you going toni or two people then you're a person who wouldn't want to spend a whole lot of time in crowded pubs, clubs or bars. You prefer talking to one or two people rather than a group. You can be a social animal, but you're often content with your own company. The vast majority of people see a beach with one or two people on it.
If you didn't see any people then you're a person least comfortable in a crowded pub, club or bar. You may even avoid them. You've the potential to be a social animal, but you wouldn't get lonely stranded on a desert island. You're content for long periods of time with your own company.Where you see people on the beach is symbolic of how you relate to people around you. If you saw people close enough to talk to then this suggests you want contact with other people most of the time.
If you saw people that weren't close enough to talk to then this suggests you don't need contact with other people all of the time, but like to know that someone is there for you.
If you saw people in the distance then you don't need contact with other people all of the time. You're happy with you own company.

Love Test - Imagine that are walking to your boyfriend/girlfriend's house...
Get answers to your questions on love with this short quiz!

You are walking to your boyfriend/girlfriend's house.

There are two roads to get there.

One is a straight path which takes you there quickly, but is very plain and boring.

The other is curvy and full of wonderful sights on the way, but takes quite a while to reach your loved one's house.

WHICH PATH DO YOU CHOOSE?

Short or long?

On the way, you see two rose bushes.

One is full of white roses. One is full of red roses.

You decide to pick 20 roses for your boyfriend/girlfriend.

WHAT COLOR COMBINATION DO YOU CHOOSE?

(Any combination including all one color is fine.)

You finally get to your boyfriend/girlfriend's house.

You ring the bell and the maid answers.

You can ask the maid to please get your loved one, or you may go get them yourself.

WHICH ACTION DO YOU TAKE?

Ask the maid or do it yourself?

Now, you go up to your girlfriend/boyfriends room.

No one is there.

You can leave the roses by the windowsill, or on the bed.

WHERE DO YOU PUT THE ROSES?

Bed or window?

Later, its time for bed. You and your loved one go to sleep, in separate rooms.

You wake up in the morning, and go to your boyfriend/girlfriend's room to check up on him/her. You enter the room:

IS HE/SHE AWAKE OR SLEEPING?

It's time to go home now, and you start to head back.

You can take either road home now:

The plain, boring one thats gets you home fast;

or the curvy, sight-filled road that you can just casually take your time with.

WHICH ROAD DO YOU CHOOSE?Short or long?

Analysis

Which road do you choose to take to your love's house?

The roads represent your attitude towards falling in love. If you chose the short one, you fall in love quickly and easily.If you chose the long one, you take your time and do not fall in love easily.

What combination of roses do you choose to give your love?

The number of red roses represent how much you expect to give in a relationship. The number of white roses represent how much you expect in a relationship. Therefore, if a person chose all red with one white, he/she gives 90% in the relationship but expects to receive only 10% back.

Do you ask the maid to get your love, or do you do it yourself?

This question shows your attitude in handling relationship problems. If you asked the maid to get your loved one, then you may beat around the bush, maybe asking a third party to intervene. Avoidance of problems runs high.If you went and got your loved one yourself, then you are pretty direct. If there is a problem, you confront it and deal with it. You want to work it out right away.

Where do you put the roses?

On the windowsill or on the bed?

The placement of the roses indictate how often you'd like to see your boyfriend/girlfriend. Placing the roses on the bed means you need lots of reassurance in the relationship, and you'd want to see your loved one every day, if possible.Placing the roses by the window show that you don't expect or need to see your loved one that often; seeing them just once in a while is OK.

Do you find your love asleep or awake?Finding your boyfriend/ girlfriend asleep: You accept your loved one the way they are.Finding them awake: You expect him/her to change for you.
Which road do you choose to go home?The short and long roads now represent how long you stay in love. If you chose the short one, you fall out of love easily.If you chose the long one, you tend to stay in love for a long time.

DU YOU THINK THEY THINK ABOUT THEY ARE THINKING

Do parents ever think about how each moment with their child or children, affects each individuals life down the road, or do they just wake up one day and blame society, tv or music for having a "difficult" child, and sit dumbfounded and wonder why, because really they should already know if they are awake enough, and honest, because each interaction is a stamp on there soul/mind/heart, and its necessary for a parent to be consistant, fair, humble, understanding, honest, listen, and treat children as human beings of equal status, and not as slaves or ones that must pay homage to their elders just because they are elders, any being regardless of age, status wealth, needs to earn respect everyday, through right action, and speech, though a respect for all beings should be obvious, because we are all children till the day we die,yet many forget because of their age, wealth or status that they to once had to wear nappies, as they urniated and defecated in their own pants once, and had to be washed and bathed, you are no better than because you are old and i am no beter than you because i am young, the moment of truth is the present moment and not at our death, our death is just the begining, soon you will see that we all must suffer for our sins, our actions, and our thoughts, dont be fooled by money or what you think you have obtaind, your soul is still dirty whether you are a king or a president, or a street sweeper, and now our children are paying for our constant bickering, and pleading ignorance is no longer an excuse for trying to put our selves above the past sweepers and kings, soon this world will be over taken by money hungry, thirsty vultures as the cockroachs walk all over us, and we stand alone trying to figure out where we went wrong, look in the mirror and you will see the answer, our ego's are cashing in everything it can get its greedy litle hands on, yet we are all still striving for those new shiny gadgets, and plates and glasses that sit on our shelves for no other reason than to look and imporess those down the street who cant afford the extra 2 dollars to buy a shiny silver cup from a second hanbd store that some one else already has thrown away because they saved an extra dollar and spent 3 dollars so they could buy a shiny silver thing to impress the other person who could only spend 2 dollars, and its all going around in a circle right to the damn top of the shit pile, yet people still go to the 9-5 job because they think they have to because they have been duped by governments and advertising companies who have been portraying some kind of lifestyle that they wont everyone to aim for like the carrot dangling from the cart, that they will never reach but keep the ones on top , on top and they money flowing so wake up, look in the mirror and say what are you doing with your life, is it worth living are you just another germ, a virus upon this land, or are trying to make a difference, and help the zombies wake fropm their sleep, so they can live life, why do you need so many shoes how many can you wear at one time, why do you need so many tv's, why do you need to fill your house with crap that you will one day throw away any way, it would be far better to save your and actuially do something with rather than spend it on booze and cigaretes, which are killing you thou if thats the life you wish to lead, then dont wake from your own igtnorance because there is a world of suffering out there you will not be able to handle, love you all and love one another

There isnt a country, town, governemnet, official, teacher, institution, or individual that doesnt have problems, thou everybody and every organisational body has a solution for every problem out there, some countries are poorer than others, some countries are happier than others, some people are energetic, some are lazy, some governments are corrput and some governments are even more corrupt, if only we could plug into a matrix and download all the solutions there are and we could be perfect, but then if we were all perfect, perfection would cease to exist, and the first person to not be perfect would in effect become perfect, if only it was that easy to plug into a computer and download everything you ever wanted to know, would you want to know everything, is it possible, obviously its not today but maybe in another millions years (cross our fingers, i doubt human life will last another 1000 years), for even today we would be lucky to even know 1% of what there is to know, and even less of a percentage for understanding, would knowing everything solve all of our problems, or are there only a couple of things that we need to know, or is it someones joke that every single individual has one significant peice of information that could solve all of our problems, if only we could all talk together face to face, heart to heart, soul to soul, if only we could all see that our bodies are not us, but just a bag of chemicals, that come in different flavours, chocolate, vanilla, some with cherries on top and some with lollies, if we could seperate our own soul from the body and see that it is mostly water, and no different to anybody, any life on this planet, how could you then get angry at someone when you know they are just as weak and scared as you are, what living being wants to suffer, what living being wants happiness, who would rather stay at home with their family, than travel to another country that doesnt even speak your own language hold a gun in front of their face and say "it's for your own good", does that really make sense to anyone else, how can you go around telling people how to live, and attempt to fix all their problems with solutions from a completely different mind and train of thought, and assume that thats what they want, the hair on my body is the same as yours, my bones are made of the same chemicals as yours, and my rice comes from the same place as yours, we are all just drops from the same cloud, flying through the same sky, landing in the same place, and then rising again back to the same cloud, why dont you face your fears and stop running from them so we all have a chance to face our own.

WHAT CAN WE DO WITH KIDS THAT DONT WANNA BE THERE

HOW can you reach the kids, that only want to play, that sit at the back of the class, and how can you reach each student when you have 50 in a class, and only fifty minutes a week, should i only go for 50% or 75%, or 90%, how could a teacher aim for anything less than 100%, but how do you "entertain" 50 kids all at the same time, when some get what you are doing, some are actually learning and some just arent even concentrating, it also doesnt help that i cant speak there language that well either, and how do we get all kids involved, do we have to bribe them, or decieve them in some way to make learning fun, will there always be kids that fall through the cracks, do we just accept that as part of their future, is it possible to catch them all.................

I THINK THIS IS WHERE WEVE GONE WRONG

"I speak in your tongue, but it is in my language that i understand you" Edouard Glissant. this is the major issue with language whether you speak the same language or a different language, everyone has a different definition of happiness love hate anger saddness, so if i'm talkin to you about love how do i truley know that you understand what i'm saying if love for you means something completely different to what it means to mean, how are we supposed to communicate if you tell me one thing yet mean another, or i interpret into my own understanding, and this comes down to my next pont about children. they are so impresionable, how can anyone truley be their own person if their just made up of everybody else around them. Does that then not make us all just peices of each other, how can we be ourselves if we already have our society and parents imprinted upon us from the day we are born, and if so how can any one anymore have an original thought, and last but not least, CAN A PARENT KNOW A DAY WITHOUT FEAR?

Share

HAPPINESS

what is happiness, is there one single definition that can account for all beings, is it just a want to be free from suffering, because i know that happiness for specific individuals varies as much as snowflakes floating throu the air, it also comes down to what people are prepared to accept as their position in the world some people are just happy working in a supermarket their whole life, and some people need so much more to be happy, is it a matter of being content with what you have, is it about not having a long enough attention span, do people get stuck in a safe warm place and become afraid to leave, is happiness, for some people living on the edge, or are they just addicted to adreneline, are some people just happy to be at home all day watching TV, while some people cant bare to be alone, and if so, why do governments and advertising companies keep telling us what will make us happy, or what will make us more appealling to a prospective partner, can happiness be bought, or does money just reduce the amount of suffering one will have to endure, is happiness just having options available, do children really know what happiness is, or does ones definition of happiness change, is happiness just the opposite of suffering, can one measure happiness, is settling for second best happiness, do people ever give up on it, do some people just enjoy suffering, are all beings after happiness or are they just after what they think will make them happy, and yet arent really sure what happiness is, is love happiness or suffering, or does it entail both, is love a part of happiness or is happiness a part of love.

DOUBT THERE ABOUTS

there isnt a day that goes by that i dont have a second thought, what about this, what if, what about that, and i'm so tired of it, of tired of thinking full stop, and yet i cant stop it, even when i sleep i'm thinking, when i eat, when i shower, to cease this internal ruckas would be a blessing, sometimes i think it wouold be better to just die, and then it will stop, sometimes i tell myself it would be better to be dead because then i wouldnt have work, or i wouldnt have listen to loud lazy kids all day, and this and that, and then i get tired of thinking this and that, maybe i'm just trying to fend of my fear of death, maybe i'm deluding myself so i wont be afraid, but then what is there to be afraid of, if i die, i die thats it, then i can rest, but then what would i miss out, who will miss out on the help i could have offered, and the help i miss out on, i wish there was a volume button in my head so i could mute the noise, the doubt the secong guessing, the constant nagging, and the stupidity of my own ego trying to compete with others, putting myself down, building myself up, the less i think the better i can do, the better i can do the better for everybody, i wish i wish i wish i wish, i wish that this ego would run away, and find something else to do other than bother me all day ive got things to do, when will the noise stop

SHE KNOWS, BUT DOES SHE KNOW WHAT SHE KNOWS

i look into the faces of our children everyday and wonder what will there life be like, for i know that it is becoming more and more dangerous as each day passes, what life will they be able to lead if we dont do something today to help others, and we should all take responsibility, for all those who are in a position of responsibility, we must never give up, what good is a life that only takes and never gives, when will the violence stop if we always take an eye for an eye, when will people learn and governments take heed of their own words, as they ly and cheat the very people they are supposed to serve, when will people be satisfied with what they need, and begin to take as much as they give, i look into the eyes of our children and i feel afraid for their future, will they be safe, will they be able to walk down the street without fear, will they be able to go to school safely, will they be free to do and think as they please as long as they dont fall into the same traps as us of money and selfishness, where people try to get a bigger house and a faster car, when will people see that when you give you recieve more than just material things, which actually last longer than money, when will our children live without fear, when ? this will be the day when i no longer shed a tear for children and their future......

YOU CAN LEAD A HORSE

if you can lead a horse to the water, but you can not make him drink, then how can help students to learn when they dont even want to be led to the water, and what makes a good teacher in the first place, when i think of the teachers i liked it was becasue they were nice, does this make a good teacher, or does it have to do with a large amount of different ingredients to bake a delicious cake, is it the time and patience you put in, is it a vast amount of knowledge, (i hope not), is it a strong will, is it sheer determination, or do you just try to teach that want to learn, what if your just a nice person, but a really bad teacher, or a really bad person and a good teacher, or can a good person teach good things, helpful things, or can good only teach good and bad only teach bad, could hitler teach about love or only hate, could saddam teach about being merciful or only being merciless, could christians teach the truth or just the bible, can hate teach hate, and love teach love, can the oppostie teach it's opposite, can a good person and a bad person still be a good teacher, i definitely a good teacher has to be above all a good student, this i know, and i remember the teachers i didnt like were the ones who were lazy, and didnt make the class exciting, but was that my job to be more excited about algerbra, (still never use it), does a god student make a good teacher, i also know that to be a ghood student, and a good teacher, one has to be able to listen, it's not always possible to understand but maybe it's not necessary, maybe we should listen more, and we should as one lady wrote listen to that inner child, if you want to have fun, if you have to listen to that inner child, life is not hard unless you make it so, life is not bad unless you make it so, but how do you make a good teacher, or if you know one can tell me that, tell me what makes a bad teacher, maybe i can works the other way, if i minimize the bad qualities than that gives the good qualities a better chance to shine, or at least grow, are people born good teachers, are Presidents, Queens and Kings just born, can make a queen, or a king, are Presidents moulded by teachers, i would hope not, that sounds a little manipulitive to me, can one learn to be a good teacher, or do teachers grow, like a seed into a tree, that never stops growing, that never stops learning, FOR TO BE A GOOD TEACHER YOU HAVE TO BE A GOOD STUDENT, otherwise your useby date will soon run out if not already.........

GOOD DAY WHERE EVER YOU ARE

Another hot day in Hat Yai, i am in charge of teaching over 1000 students a week english, quite the daunting task, but what can i do, this is how it is here, a proverb i have always enjoyed from the I-Ching,

"eat, drink, and be merry, fate comes when it will."

In other words dont worry about what you cant change, and dont worry about what you can change, "just do it", in classes of almost 50, i wonder how many will actually learn anything, will just listening be enough, because i dont have enough time in one week for 1000 students, a month would be far more beneficial, but i do what i can, i dont think about what i would like to be doing tomorrow, i just try to help today, this is all i can do, an aid, i wish i could spend a bit more time with each student but that is just not possible, but if they can have fun at my expense then i dont mind just as long as it is in english, then everybody is happy, because i remember when i was a student, i wasnt the best behaved either, so how can i expect student of 12 to 15 to be any better behaved, i just hope they can learn more than what i did, and theyre like i can not read there language either otherwise those notes they pass around could be a lot more embarrassing then just having to answer a question on the board, but i will persist, and i have no choice but to learn and adapt, otherwise evrybody will suffer because i lack the ability to grow, this is not an option

BEAUTIFUL THAILAND

its amazing how quick your mind can change, and how harmful it can be when you are in a completely new place, where hardly anyone speaks english, and people just stare at you in the street, but i guess you have to just move past it, and really find belief in yourself something i have always had trouble with, so lately i have just been throwing caution to the wind, and let my karma take over, if its meant to be its meant to be, theres no point in fighting it, otherwise suffering will be all that one experinces, such a beautiful society where the honour system rules, which could never work in Australia, too many people lost and looking to steal and destroy something, maybe its just boredom, who can say, but now my task is about to begin, to teach poor children english so that no matter how far they go at school, they will be able to get a job somewhere working with foreigners, and hopefully make an honest living anyway, and not rip them off and me in the meantime, education is all these people have to better there life situation and there own health, and that of their country, now just to fight the corruption, but where to begin

GOOOOOOOD MORNING HAT YAI

i have finally relocated myself to another country nothing like my home for a teaching job, which will take me for the next year in a government school teaching high schoolers, a beautiful country, beautiful people, and sometimes beautiful food, ha ha ha just kidding everything here is beautiful, i'm just nervous about starting at a new school, hopefully i wont make to much of a fool of myself, but if they learn then what can i do, let the good times roll, livin the dream people, livin the dream, who wouldnt want to come to thailand

Leaving home to arrive home

This will be the last post from my home in Melbourne, having finally organized and executed all plans necessary to start my dream job in a new country, where I can begin what I have dreamed of doing for so long, full hope that I can make a difference, to help people who are unable to help themselves for the moment, and elevate them to a higher standard of living, improving there life situation, I HOPE

Manipulation or Administration

There are many people who are dumb founded but what I have done in the past, and lack the ability to understand, and will never understand the things I have done and the things I am about to do, but never would I change them, nor does it bothered me, I am dumb founded more by the fact that less people have done what I have done, and am about to do, they are so caught up in their own individuality they have lost their ability to give what they don’t need, and yet this lack of ability restricts their own lives, and happiness, never have I owned less in my life, and nor have I ever been happier with all parts of my life, some have even question my mental state, and have suggested that I have been manipulated in some way, but there is nothing that I have done that I didn’t already choose to do, far before the opportunity arose, many people think that I am very impulsive, spontaneous but there are very few situations, opportunities, option, or decided upon before the situation or chance arises in a moment between people, thou it does help that there are very few things that I just don’t care about anymore, because they have no baring upon my happiness, because I know that I am the only in control of my happiness, not people nor situations, and I am not afraid to be pushed, asked, or even offer to be taken out of my comfort zone, and money to me is nothing, if it can help someone for a day I will give them everything I possibly can, though I have learnt a lesson, that you still have to be able to take care of yourself before, because if you cant take care of yourself, how ill be able to take care of others, for you to love or make someone happy, you have love yourself, you first must be happy, hate and unhappiness can only arise in you if it already exists, no one can make you angry if you are not already angry, no one can make you afraid if you are not already afraid, no one can make you happy unless you are already happy, I have been blessed to have been born into a better life situation than others I have met, and I am not afraid to abuse that situation to benefit others I love, just as long no one else suffers because of it.

MY OWN JAIL

I’m dying here in this full house,
With this knife I’ve never been so close,
Wallowing in these drugs,
I thought it would kill the time and bugs,
But it just makes me think of you more and more,
Slowing down the time increasing pains door,
I just want to run but it wont matter there’s no distance,
That I would be safe for instance,
Maybe these valiums will aid,
But I haven’t slept in days dreams unmade,
It say’s I should only take three in one day,
But I’m so tired and my head aches body sway’s,
An earthquake through my mind,
Maybe I should take five, rewind,
But I’m so tired I haven’t slept in days,
Maybe I better take ten in this haze,
Okay I’ll be fine but I’m so so so tired,
My heads thumping more than thunder hired,
Maybe I should take the bottle,
Okay that will do now where’s the waters throttle,
This may take a minute,
There we go that was easy bin it,
Maybe I’ll get some food,
And sit down and watch TV what’s my mood,
There’s nothing on flicking away,
Oh how ya doing “I’m okay”
“Where did you come from do I know you?”
Do you mean this view?
I haven’t seen you before,
But I’ve always been near the shore,
How come I couldn’t see you previously?
Because you never took time to the sea,
To look to listen why then can I see you now?
Because you’re stuck in a place some how,
That is neither here or there nor high or low,
No such place that’s a long bow,
Well if that’s what you believe,
Then you do nothing but yourself deceive,
Now this place you had help to find,
You only have to free your mind,
You’re closer than before,

Just let go and you will see even more.

ALL I WANT

All I can see is you,
All I can dream about is you,
All that keeps me going is knowing that I will see you soon,
All my dreams I just want to hold your hand,
All I need is to see your face again,
All that holds me back is time,
All I want is time with you and our children,
All that matters,
All that I think about is just as long as you have,
All you want and need,
I can’t wait till that first touch on your cheek just so,
I know its real so,
I know that there was something worth living for,
I know there will be no barriers,
I’m looking forward to the day,
I want you to say its over,
I want you to say that all your dreams have been fulfilled,
I won’t stop till that day comes,
I won’t stop till those words have been spoken,
I won’t quit, waiting for that day,
I wont ever look back,
I don’t care about anything else but this.

Share

I WISH

I wish I could paint like those paintings I see in the museums,
So I could paint a picture of your face,
I wish I could photograph like those photo’s I see in the magazines,
So I could photograph a portrait of our future,
I wish I could write like those books I read in the libraries,
So I could write a poem of our dreams,
I wish I could sing like those I hear in the opera,
So I could sing a song about your beauty,
But all I can do is say I love you,
I hope you feel the same

OH MY BLOG

Who’s going to take care of my blog if I die tomorrow, who will be left to ramble on and annoy others, will it be deleted, will people still come to laugh and cry, and be angered, will people even know that I’m gone, if I die tomorrow how long will it last, how long will my blog survive, can it make it on its own, who’s going to be there when it needs a hand, how will it cope if someone is mean to it, who will be there to protect and guide, who will be there to review, abuse and renew.

DID YOU LIE TO ME

I am so tired every part of me just wants to lay down and sleep oh how I weep just to sleep a bit, if only I could trade my food for my sleep then I could eat all day at work and never have to sleep, and I would never fall into a heap just lay down the cobwebs and I still wont weep, why do you work so hard what is it that you really need, and the rest can just be a dream for while you sleep you can have everything you want for free, and that house cant travel with you how many rooms do you need you can only be in one at any one time, is one enough or do you need one for every day then one for all the days you cant sleep, oh how I weep for all you who work all day for no reason but to live a dream you can never live, and why do you need so many different clothes and shoes, why do you want such a big car and house, and so much jewelry, why why why, I don’t understand, what is the point of getting drunk each weekend, do you really want to prevent the present moment from presenting itself to you, if only you could see how much the suffering would disappear and you can see that its your only savior, your only god, don’t be fooled, you have already sold your soul to the advertising companies and you don’t even know it, so so sad, you’ve fallen for their “cool” ads, pop fashion, flashy cars, why waste your time wasting your money, free yourself, travel, just let go of what they have told you, its all based upon their own fears they just want to keep you down because their afraid to be alone, they have to belittle you how else can they control your thoughts, how else can they drain your energy, how else can they feel better, by MAKING YOU FEEL LESS THAN WHAT YOU TRULY ARE INSIDE, but alas I have prayed for you all for years and years and I will never lay down my vigil, I pray for your freedom, I hope you will join me soon, I will never stop praying until you all are free

I JUST LOVE ART

I find it very heartbreaking that so many people limit themselves to such restricted areas in this world, specifically the arts, and I don’t understand why so many people limit themselves to one or two genres of music, film, or books, when there is such a diverse range these days of great quality in all areas of the arts. Music is one of the rare experiences one can indulge in that spans all religions races and cultures, and there are so many forms of expression these days yet so many people limit themselves because of their own ignorance and prejudices, how can you ever expand your mind if you listen to the same music, or watch the same movies, or read the same books for your whole life. Wisdom comes with expansion, and with that new experiences must be sought out, we must continue to push ourselves from with in and search for new horizons, we must find new music to listen to, new movies to watch, and new books to read, and we must travel as far as we can not only physically but mentally. We should be thankful for those who push the boundaries of our everyday thinking, because without these individuals we would still be stuck in ice age, fending for ourselves with spears and clubs, so let go of your prejudices and ignorance and read, listen, and watch more than you ever had, don’t limit yourself to one particular genre, how can you expect to grow as an individual if always listen to the same music for your whole life.

JUDGE LEST YE BE JUDGED

May he who is without sin judge me, may he who knows all judge those who don’t, may he who is without love begin to love thy self, nay he who has more than enough give to those who don’t. Go ahead and judge me, or the world around you, may you judge the people you live with, may you judge the ones you love and that love you, may you judge those who are famous and those who are infamous, may you judge the person next to you because their cloths are dirty, or those who don’t understand, but before you do. First think about how much suffering your judgment causes, and that it is all just to make yourself feel better, remember your judgment is your own selfish need to be better than the rest, whether you agree or disagree, like or dislike. But each time you judge think about why? Think for just a moment, let go of your own selfishness and just love one another, think about someone else’s feelings for a second, and ask how can I make this person, this being who only wishes to be happy, what it is they need to be happy? So go and judge me if it makes you feel better, i dont mind because I know where it comes from, and how it arises, but its never necessary so why bother

PAIN, WHAT PAIN

Pain, what is pain, have you ever really thought of it, have you ever caused yourself pain and truly felt and gone with it, experienced it, most people don’t even want to think about it let alone wish for it. Only the mind knows pain, your arms, your legs or any part upon or within your body knows what pain is. All the human body knows is anomalies, disruptions, and interruptions, which can be caused by many different causes heat, cold, pressure and even being severed, but the body only knows these through chemical reactions and electrical pulses, all it communicates is that the body is in danger that is all, that a circuit in the body has been disturbed. If you burn your arm or cut your leg, your arm doesn’t know pain, your leg doesn’t know pain, it only exists in the arm, in the leg as danger, awareness that this may be dangerous to the overall wellbeing of the individual.
The mind is where pain is born and where it resides, and it’s where it has existed for all time. The mind creates it because it thrives upon it because it can use it against you to defeat yourself. It brings up the pain whenever it know you are weak, and reminds you of what can go wrong, and the suffering that you will incur.But there is hope, you can control this pain, if you make the choice, that all it comes down to, a choice to run, which the mind expects because it doesn’t want to discover its true nature, and the state which you can reach. So stop running and just be still, experience the pain learn from it, and experience how it works on your own mind, how it affects you. Physical pain is the easiest to do this with because the causes are obvious and may times can be seen, and you know exactly when it happened, and how. Though the pain that exists because of emotions, expectations, worry, living outside the moment, depression, anxiety, the causes of these, and many more are not always as well known, and can be very intricate and be the result of years of the minds control, and others. This takes a lot more practice and investigation, and take years to resolve, but never forget happiness exists everywhere in this world, and only because people choose it that is all, the difference is choice, what will yours be?

EMOTIONS, NOTHING MORE THAN A BLINDING LIGHT, A THICK FOG

“Emotion: The body’s reaction to your mind”
Eckhart Tolle

I know this may upset people, and for that I am sorry, but the truth is what it is, whether you agree with it or not, it is not there to be judged.
Emotions can cause so much suffering, don’t be a fool and allow them to control you, you have to control them, only the foolish are guided by emotions, and one should act from a state of love, the ego-less love, the divine love, it is not an emotion but a way of being, a state that permeates all life and never causes harm, it is beyond any word but unfortunately that’s all we have, it can only be experienced.
It truly breaks my heart to see so many people suffering because of that voice inside their own selves and see how much pain it causes them and those around them, if only we could communicate so honestly with each other, with out having to worry how someone is going to feel, if only people could see themselves and each other as we truly are and not how every one wishes they were, not every one is smart, nor strong, though we like to think that we are, so many people these days have big homes and large bank accounts, and yet they are so poor and lonely inside. If we could all communicate from that universal point in which all beings understand, even animals experience primitive, simple emotions living in the moment, and have only a basic understanding of there surroundings and there place in the world, and yet individuals in the past who have been in touch with the eternal, are able to tame the most frightened and aggressive animals, which is far beyond the current capabilities of so many humans because they think that they are above these animals for some reason, there is no other species upon this world that has caused so much suffering to its own kind and to others, what other animal kills out of greed, or pride, sometimes I find it so disgusting too see how so many humans act toward each other, and other beings. All beings wish for happiness and we are all components of the earth, the human body is not beautiful or ugly, it just is, a vehicle for life, do you think your arm feels love or anger, does your leg feel jealousy or fear, do your pets limbs feel hunger or hope, our body is made from the same matter as the trees and ants, and even your own computer, your fingers don’t feel depressed or shame, there just skin and bone, mostly water, why are you so attached to a bit of skin and water, do the leaves feel hate, does your hair feel afraid, all emotions are a product of a judging ego that’s all, you are not anger you are not happiness, you are caught in a cage you cant control, or even see. There are many paths to the eternal, just as long as you follow them honestly, and are honest with yourself.

HOW DO THEY KNOW

ARIES- you are close to something important. The imminent Full Moon in your opposite sign is concentrating your mind and sharpening, too, the focus of events in the world around you. One big issue is taking up your time. The more you think about it, the more food for thought you find within it. You are growing concerned and anxious about the future of a particular arrangement- yet the problem you face is no greater than many you have successfully conquered in the past. Ahead lies triumph, not a disaster.

SPACE AND TIME, NO MATTER I KNOW YOUR MINE

Slipping through the clouds,
What was it you said that day?
You know you can’t hear anything,
Down hear anyway,
What’s the time?
I thought you said it was early,
But it was already dark
Or did you mean that yesterday,
You wanted to meet late tomorrow,
While the sun is waking in the park,
And the clouds are moving into next week,
I’m feeling so weak,
You said that you didn’t care,
Now I know your lying,
Or was I lying,
Or was I lying when you said what I said,
That I wouldn’t dare,
Don’t believe a liar,
When a liar knows what a liar knows,
That a liar doesn’t know,
Can I borrow some wisdom?
I don’t even know what wisdom is,
I know I can’t hold it in my hand,
I could really do with some wisdom now,
But all I’ve got is me and myself,
And where both as confused as each other,
But don’t bother its not the first time for us,
And every thing has turned out all right,
Your still here I hope,
But I know I saw you crying,
And it wasn’t because you were happy to see me,
But do you believe when liars mix with liars,
And they’re both scared and afraid,
It doesn’t matter any more what was said,
I wish I could read the stars in your eyes,
The galaxies in your dreams,
Do any of them include us?
Cause there ain’t no me without you,
Sleeping again at work,
Or was I dreaming that I was at work working,
Working hard but that doesn’t seem right,
I don’t work at night,
Who am I kidding?
At night I don’t even work
This is not my sight,
When did your dreams become mine?
When did our fears join?
Was it when I said I do?
Or was it when I first met you,
Did the water wash away your hope to?
Or was it when the water left,
And left behind our love,
Did it happen when you were at school,
Or was it before,
I know when I saw your face you were crying,
And said that you loved me,
I tried to touch your face,
But I couldn’t move,
What’s that burning?
Hey wait a minute what’s that light,
I tried to scream that I promised to promise,
That I would take care of you again,
Did you hear were you even listening?
Communication was never my best trait,
Were you just waiting till I came by,
The clouds look the same as before in a dream I had,
Floating through your soul,
The smoke led me back to were I had to go,
What’s the date I think I missed your birthday,
What do you…..,
That’s not it what do you mean,
That’s when your dream started,
You didn’t tell me about that dream,
I know was only three,
I didn’t know you then,
There wasn’t any grass or trees here,
I planted them that day,
But I didn’t tell anyone,
I just waited here because I knew this is the only place,
I would ever be fixed,
I didn’t know it needed mending,
I know but my mended heart was fixed,
When your heart walked into my garden,
And was mended by the grass and trees,
I planted so long ago,
My heart didn’t need mending,
Ha ha you foolish man,
Of course you didn’t know,
A drop of rain doesn’t know it’s falling,
It just keeps falling until it’s caught,
Now I’ve caught you again and again,
I will catch you when you are falling,
So be free this is your destiny,
To fall and is all you know,
And it’s mine to know when you are falling,

So I can catch you again to water my garden.

WORDS OF WISDOM, TRUST ME THERE NOT MINE

"There is nothing in this world that is not subject to change or transformation. It is foolish to run from the world as to run after the world, both extremes having their root in illusion that the world is seperate from ourselves."

Lama Anagarika Govinda

"If good does not accumulate, it is not enough to make a name for a man. If evil does not accumulate, it is not strong enough to destoy a man. Therefore the inferior man thinks to himself, "Goodness in small things has no value, " and so neglects it. He thinks, "Small sins do no harm," and does not give them up. Thus his sins accumulate until they can no longer be covered up, and his guilt becomes so great that it can no longer be wiped out. In the Book of Changes it is said: "His neck is fastened in the wooden cangue, so that his ears disappear. Misfortune."

The I Ching

ONE HELL OF A SAMVEGA

I came to you at my weakest blinded by my own suffering,
Confused and lost in my own fear never had I been falling,
So far from the light my samvega flash,
Couldn’t have come any sooner or left a deeper gash,
Left me desperate and weak there were only two choices,
Of which there was no return but I had to stop the voices,
Otherwise I wouldn’t be here today with you all,
So I had to pick myself up out of this state and make that call,
Get in my car and drive, drive and drive through the panic I had to weave.
I’d had enough of the sleepless, dinnerless days I had to leave,
No direction again until I landed upon your garden,
So serene it was small and not that beautiful my mind had been hardened,
But it was beautiful to be in any way without any sense of what to say
It didn’t matter you already knew what had to be done and since that day,
I have never strayed from the path though some parts took a little longer,
Than was necessary but now I know what needs to be done I’m so much stronger,
My sorrow now turns to you, who have a different view,
And all those who are still confused and lost,
But I know soon you to will know the path there is no cost,
If you ask I will hold your hand,
Or even the other side of the world I will stand,
What ever you ask what ever you need,
Will be done if you ask to sow the seed,
That will be the only step you have to take alone,
The rest can be as much a party as you wish or alone on the phone

JUST WAIT AND SEE

I know you’ve got your doubts baby, but I promise you don’t have to worry,
It’s been some time, and there’s a little more to go and for that I’m sorry,
But I’m tired of talking and people telling me what I can’t do,
I’m just going to go by and do what I have to,

As soon as I made up my mind, there was never any doubt soon you will see
Soon you will all see that it was all meant to be,

You’ve opened a door that’s shaken me to my core,
My heart is aching like never before,
Nothing else matters until I’m back in our home place,
Till there’s no space between us and all I can see is your face,

As soon as I made up my mind, there was never any doubt soon you will see
Soon you will all see that it was all meant to be,

Never wanna see you cry or will I again leave your side,
I can’t explain what I feel inside but I can no longer hide,
I finally know what I want to do and it feels so right,
Everything will be all right no matter how big the storm during the night,

As soon as I made up my mind, there was never any doubt soon you will see
Soon you will all see that it was all meant to be,

MY MIND ALONE

Why do so many partners want there partner to know what they are thinking, I couldn’t think of anything worse, I never want to know what my partner is thinking, or is it just me, but half the fun we have together is guessing and being constantly wrong and amused by how far off we are at what the other had upon there mind, I couldn’t think of anything more boring, and I don’t mean that to offend any at all, but can someone explain this notion to me, is it cultural, does it arise from fear, or the need to know that someone thinks the same as yourself, is it comforting, or is more to do with reliability, the ability to predict, I’m trying here, …………………………………………please

TRUTH BE KNOWN

Truth doesn’t exist in a book or in any word written or spoken or otherwise, the word itself is empty, a number of symbols, which represent a mental construct, it can not be expressed or passed on by communication or physical touch it must be experienced by the individual alone, people can only direct you, guide, lead, a person so that they can discover it for themselves, you can not make somebody understand or even learn what they don’t want to, or even understand, even the wisest soul upon this planet can not make another soul know the truth, but he or she would be extremely good at showing the way. Which is different to knowing things about truth, which is not the same as the actual truth itself. The truth of the universe I speak of cannot be spoken of, but all I can do is chip away at a stone to reveal the truth that exists within us all, but only can the individual, reveal the truth for them self. For one thing you wont experience it in this blog or any other, or anywhere on the internet, all you will find are “road signs” that will lead you down a path that could lead you any where, but step out into the “world”, and you can see it every where you look, (I don’t recommend you do it in a city if that’s where you live), though many people have not trained their mind enough to experience it. Only when the mind is really quiet, and I mean really really quiet, to the point where all those thoughts we have each moment of our waking and possibly sleeping life, that never seem to cease, begin to cease, and in the beginning it will be hard to notice but the more and more you try, the longer and longer the gap between each thought will get, and in between those thoughts you will be able to experience life for what it is, without ego, without judgment, without like or dislike, and that’s where you will also experience an ecstasy of happiness far beyond any drug you can find, and you will find your being come into line at the same level of vibration as energy itself. The path is not easy cannot be found with knowledge alone, but an equal amount of practice as well, they are both “different ends of the same stick” as the great and late Ajahn Chah would say. Knowledge and practice are both sides of the same coin, useless on their own, but boundless when joined together.
