More thoughts.
This thread and my activities here are also experimental too, or more correctly observational. How can I best teach my message here that so regular people can go a long way in training these days, if they are not tormented by their conscience and reconciling there beliefs about things. Buddhism and science for instance and modern values versus traditional ones. Much of what you read in Buddhism, the real message is how to get along with others and with in our selves, mindfulness. Anybody who is a serious student of the path like I was/am is directed to Buddhism after the 8 week evidence based course, if ya wanna be tortured by a 2500 year old rule book. But they are the true masters of the practice and know every trick imaginable, worth looking into, because it is not a dogmatic belief system, it is open and the attitude is prove it to me, as here.
These studies, I hope will result in something compact and portable a simple set of tools for winning moral and ethical arguments with those we love most, family and friends, this is a purpose too, but they all come from the same intention, the benefit of others and putting your family friends and tribe first. If yer bad enough ya get ostracized to prison, instead of dying alone and heart broken in the wilderness, where nobody loves you, we call this feeling being being alone, sad people feel it the most. If ya thought the big chief might run yer ass out , ya worried like Donald is now, cause at some level, he knows he fucked up and is very concerned now, ya can see em twitching. Getting rid of a bad chief back then was an issue too, most often someone just did the fucker in to protect those they loved, they to put others first too.
Think of the poor judge(s) who will have to order Donald tied to a chair squirming and ball gag him as he is swept up in delusional rage with his eyeballs bugged out. I got more sympathy for the judge, than Donald, and the officials and guards at the supermax too.
The again he could just jump on AF1 and run to Russia, if they don't impeach him first, wonder if he'll make a run for it during the trial. I mean Vlad is his friend and should look out for him right? The do love each other right like friends, Vlad does peak excellent English, KGB trained. He wouldn't betray Donald after he lands and is powerless would he? I mean Vlad owes Donald at least that much for all that he has done for him right? Think Vlad would betray his buddy? If I was Vlad I'd pack Donald on a plane and say he was a delusional liar, the truth, not even I could not argue with him
.
If I was Vlad I'd send him back as soon as I had his nuclear biscuit and Donald was out of power. Then I'd send him back to America, for a real warm welcome. He's gonna want to get on the good side of Uncle Sam real fast after this one, Donald is a mere utensil and a disposable one too. Best possible out come. MAGA hats would disappear over night and the GOP would die on the spot, they deserve it they didn't put others first and it shows real bad right now! Donald and his fans wouldn't stand a chance, not even his rallies would be a safe place or space for him, prison would be safe at least.
I've been at this for about a week, wonder where I'll be in a year? Further along my path I think and happier too, if that is possible. I guess we'll see what a mighty breeze can do at the back of a regular old fart with a big heart. maybe it can help him too. It sure has so far, when ya do what ya love, ya never have to work again. Let's see how he does starting up his practice again and all the trouble an old hand is having at this, but don't forget the benefits, for there are truly two sides to this coin, you and them. A fuck of a way fur a feller to motivate himself, burning bridges as I cling to my core beliefs, the journey continues my friends. after I sit for a spell I'll have a regular routine of work and other things too, maybe the gym. If my conscience bothers me more than pain, the tribe doesn't need to carry me any more than they have to...
I could request this page be deleted and another replace it as ideas evolve in light of new information, we are a process not a fixed thing, we grow evolve and learn, or we are suppose too.
more issues posts or I'm gonna keep going some might be interested, I will be. This idea has a lot of potential. I was helping a friend today a guy who helps out in the garden and who might take over the grow more as my interests shift to other places. My plants have suffered in the past couple of weeks as I've settled core issues and with me they always come first. Mine is integrity right now and it will serve too, my ego is gonna whip my ass while my conscience calls out the strokes! That's how it works for the unenlightened, those merely trained for a long time like me, nothing special just normal like every body else we got our problems too, we just don't let them crush us into dust and others too, most of the time.....
Everybody's mindfulness will slip, even an old pro, if he does not practice regularly. Yer coming on my journey again too, if a ya follow here. i'm gonna talk to friends about starting a practice group, for this is the best approach have fiends on the path to, a good chance for them to start, me too. I have no peers here and want them, sometimes the path is a lonely journey, mine could have been better. Prove it, come see, as the Buddha said. Lead by example.
