Ride the Snake

[Smooth as Anything]

Patiently waiting for an answer… through the mist and the haze. Our sky is blue, the color of our blood. What a coincidence that the atmosphere, keeps our gases from escaping our planet… and our blood transports gas (oxygen) through our body.

Without either of them, we shall diminish; sink; crash like our dreams have – on the backs of aspirations shot down by the insecurity of others.

Ride the wave. Ride the snake.

Catch the wind.

We look to the sky for answers, so let our search be blue. Consequently, without our search we will vanish.

I laugh when people cry, over irrelevance. Smooth, why do you seem so indifferent?
…why is everyone else so concerned?

Let’s forget about or egos for a moment. Not to say that we should let go of our egos, or look for divinity in spiritual enlightenment through the realization of imperfection.

I want to find happiness… and certainly you’d all like to come for the ride… but I gave my car away, so I hope you enjoy fresh air, the beauty of rain, the divinity of lightning – not the science, and the embracement of thunder.

I can’t tell you where to find happiness. I’m on my way though, and I don’t like to speak without results.

If you haven’t yet realized it, happiness is fundamentally flawed for any rational person. By that I mean, we cannot rationally be happily complacent. We cannot be satisfied with satisfaction.

It’s not about that, and I can earnestly say it was never was. I cannot settle for mediocrity, even if I am doomed to it.

I got rid of my TV months ago. It’s been even longer since I’ve actually watched it.

Why pay for television when for half that price you can enjoy the pleasures of life?

We can ride a blade of grass or we can shoot for the sky. Green is the color of our grass and the color of mediocrity.

Let fear be black, laziness yellow and self-actualization to the infinity white.

If Carl Jung was correct, and the collective unconscious exists – that means that you and I are connected. More importantly: we are all connected.

If we are all connected, why do we feel so alone?

This sounds like something you would not hear on this site, but you should be aware of it….

The path to success, the path to superiority, the path to justified arrogance – where the ‘real spirit’ lies is the loneliest journey you shall ever venture.

You must leave everyone behind to be ahead of everyone. No one wants to help you… No one wants to see you better than them. If that is your goal, then you must disregard the opinion of everyone except the most passive observer.

The passive observers are the pawns in our game of chess. Use them, let them observe and make an outside judgment and opinion. You cannot tell me the color of a house from within its walls.

Do whatever it takes to accomplish what you want to accomplish. You will find that it is not a moment, a realization, a revelation or an epiphany that brings you happiness: but the retrospective nostalgic perception of times passed… that were only so great when you lived them.

You need to let go… Stop paying 70 dollars for a pair of pants. Did you forget what I said before? To reach the top you must disregard the rest.

The lie you hear everyday is the one of boundaries; of barriers; of limits. That, is black, and consequently fear. Can you paint a white picture with any black? No you cannot.

To reach the white you must eliminate the black.

To reach self-actualization to the infinity you must eliminate fear.

You must eliminate the concern for outside opinion: for that is fear in disguise.

You’ll never find happiness: but if you can find love, beauty, and live – and by that I most certainly do not mean having a heart-beat… then you are to embrace the most intangible irrational illogical incomprehensible…

Often times you destroy a meaning or an emotion with a word. I’ll spare you.

Very well written post. I see where you are gonig with this. The whole "lose yourself" theme. To disregard all that you have, to be weighed down by nothing and that, is to be truly free.

What inspired you to write this?

year after year with renewed ambition
we scale the walls to find there's nothing there
still idle hands clutch the empty page
with the passion of a desperate prayer

sometimes I lose sight of where i'm going
fanned by a flame I can't remember
but distant lights still burn bright
and the road goes on forever

Like the song says, the road goes on forever my friend.

And the funny thing is, we don't have to go to the edge of the world to find our answers. They're always inside us.

But why don't we find anything just sitting alone listening to ourselves?
Why is it that the marthyrs have a wandering spirit?

Settling. To be content with.
Everyone wants to settle, everyone wants to fit in.
My spanish teacher told of "normosis", normal + neurosis, a phenomena that has been striking out mankind, like an ebolic meme.

People want to be normal. And they go out of their way to make sure that they anihilate the different, so they cannot interfere in their closed-minded culture.

It's the new dark ages ladies and gentlemen!
Only now that it isn't the holy church that is harassing men, it's the Holy Media.

And what is the Holy Media nothing but the reflection of the thoughts of the masses?
So, to skip the turns arounds, why don't people want to change?

Once again I knock on the plagiarised key, is it Fear or is it Laziness?
And what's the exact difference between both?

I honestly believe that Carl Jung was right, but I believe that Mother Nature is smarter and more darwinistic than our silly human minds can comprehend?

Humans have no natural predators... or do they? What can they do to protect themselves, if their natural predators are ingrained inside their brains?

What is the ego but a tool of selection for mom nature to choose who's going to make it and who's not?

Fear... the battle with fear, is the everlasting battle for survival... I don't know, I couldn't know, but I'll take the risk and say that the day, the right hour, the right minute, the exact moment when you have the final epiphany and all your fears die out, get "unplugged" from your guts... you probably die.

" Congratulations, you've evolved. Now we'll take you to a higher place, where you belong... "

But, the road still goes on, forever...

You must leave everyone behind to be ahead of everyone. No one wants to help you… No one wants to see you better than them. If that is your goal, then you must disregard the opinion of everyone except the most passive observer.

The loneliness on the road to becoming a Don Juan. For anyone who hasn't seen that thread goto the tips forum.

Many events in your life will require you to go alone. You still have your daily pleasures and people you like to talk to... Members of this board, on this road you walk alone. No one has your best interest at heart. Others shudder at the idea of your superiority, but you strive for it... and attain it....

I laugh when people cry, over irrelevance. Smooth, why do you seem so indifferent? …why is everyone else so concerned?

Look at the world around. Look at what you dare call problems! I'm not even going to bring up the 75% of the world population that's in starvation! I will simply remind you that there are people who witness death every day. I will tell you that there are people who see their parents or children taken from them and shot in front of them. I will tell you that when I want to take a sh!t, I go sit on a toilet bowl. I don't need to run 5 minutes to make sure I'm alone so that I may release it.

How dare you concern yourself with such petty things as women. How dare you depress yourself over wether a chick smiled at you or not, or paid any attention to you?

WAKE UP !

Do you not yet realise what you have?! Do you not yet realise what life is!? DO YOU NOT COMPREHEND WHERE YOU ARE WRONG!?

There are some things that can not be expressed with words.

This post is glorious Sammo. As I reread, it gets better and better.

Good job.
