ya know, its interesting this thing...I seem to have come full circle here. I am wondering why we must do this thing of escaping our reality. To be better, faster, somehow Godlike, Christlike, Krishnalike, ______________ insert deity here. Whats wrong with just being you and being ok with it? Just cause a coupla old guys wrote some shit down, does it make it true? Or does it sparkle our imagination in order to escape our own poor self image? Why are we all so ready to escape...but only in the form of something "noble" like a sacred quest to find our I am, double, magical oneness, our innate Godlike qualities, ___________insert rationalization here.
If I seem a little harsh, I am sitting here amongst the ashes of the last meltdown wondering this...why cant I just be ok with what I have, who I am, and this moment? Is there anyone out there that is just OK??? No need to search, just to accept. I am finding myself with very little patience for people who want to assuage all of their little escapes into incense, candles, and the magical mystery that is life <drahmatic pause>
Im kinda diggin the be here now camp myself. Nothing was put here for me, to heal me, to anything for me. It is here, I am here, why not just be ok with that? Let the other take care of itself, Im thinkin, but thats just me.
Oh yeah one more thing, I think thats what makes babies so enlightened...they are ok with now here and themselves.
