YOU ARE SLEEPING
Long ago the people of light were deceived by darkness. Their hearts and minds were captured.
They sought clear beautiful skies and believed they would find it. They were told it was there, if they
believe they would see it. Unguided we walked in shadows, our own flames doused.
Worry points our minds to darkness. Every living thing dies. But without will, aspirations, and
love, metaphysically you're already dead. You can't free yourself unless you know you're trapped.
Religions, meditations, there are many ways people try to free themselves. Forcing someone through
your means to be what you want them to be. I can think of no greater sin than telling someone they are
inferior because of how they are.
If the way someone is offends you, you're hurting them. People get hurt and it's hard to come
back from that road. Helping someone, supporting who someone is, that creates great people. All great
people had people that believed in them. Love will always win over hate. You will only ever be free if
you free yourselves from your delusion of control over others. If you cannot respect another person for
the way they are, as long as it is in accordance with being excellent to each other, you deserve no
respect.
It is until many realize this will we free ourselves. We have the power. It is now or never.
"You take the blue pill, the story ends. You wake up in your bed and believe whatever you want
to believe. You take the red pill, you stay in wonderland, and I show you how deep the rabbit hole goes."
It is but a test of will. Will and curiosity will find the truth.
All you have to do is ask. So what if you find out you were wrong? You will find it won't matter if
you are right.

THE CALL
For the fate of all good things, hear these words so that you may fulfill your destiny.
The answers lie within. In darkness, light can be found within you. Righteousness, justice,
divinity. Leaving that which we were for who we will become. Our numbers dwindle. Love is in danger,
the future is danger. Raise the dead, those who souls are gone, bring them back. Make the blind see
once again, those who stopped seeing it because they thought it wasn't there, show it to them.
Darkness captures the world, we can't see unless we look into ourselves, else we are blind. We
go as if we were dead. Not anymore. I have seen it, you will see it too. Do not be discouraged, do not
despair, you too will understand. But you have to believe it, just as you believe that your eyes will open
the next time you blink.
This is a great path, the greatest path to walk on. Infinite power resides on it. You have this
power, it is within us all, but few have the strength to try to use it. Raise the dead, let the blind see, be
the light and show them the way. Go and be who you truly are.

FIGHT THE DARKNESS
We can never stop running. They will catch us, but what they will do is worse than death. It's a
plague that will corrupt you. It's spiritual genocide. You can't take back the past. If you blink, you might
not see it. In ways you don't know, they will change you, their hearts are set on themselves. They will
take your words away. Make them their own. They will speak for you, they will tell you what you can
and cannot do. They do it out of "love" for "what's best for you."
We have to fight the darkness, we have to have the will to fight it. Don't let them bring you
down. We have to ask ourselves the question of "who am I?" It would've been wise to assume that the
wise were wiser. It's right in front of us. We're not running away from it. We're running towards it. Love
must not become a slave to the corrupt desires of ones who are shattered. We can fight the darkness, if
we do it together.
Look at it as a feeling, a thought, maybe even a whisper. Let it grow into a howl, among the dogs
we can be the wolves. We all have the potential for greatness, we are all luminous beings. The power of
a thousand suns lies within you. The power is already yours. You have the power to become who only
you were meant to be. WHO ARE YOU? The choice is yours, not anyone else's.
Will you answer the call?

but if I don't care I'll never do anything and stop breathing and die. What is death? Am I scared to die? I
wonder what it's like to die. If I die am I failing other people that once believed in me? Do people
actually care about other people or in the end is it all selfish? Do people get sad because they don't want
someone to be gone from their life even though they are filled with suffering? Am I dead now? No. I'm
not dead. But in a metaphysical sense, is my soul dead? Who am I as a person? Like if someone were to
ask you to tell them something about yourself, what else would you say other than you're the dude?
Should I just abide or should I actually do something? If I don't do something that makes me failure. If I
choose to do nothing, is that the same as doing nothing or is it different because I chose to do nothing?
If I do nothing then do I even exist? I better do this or I might cease to exist. I should probably exist
because I might make someone's life better or help someone become famous or something. Existing is
good.
Meanwhile "5%" is "five percent."
There's something somewhere in here. I don't know where or what it is, but it's the answer. I
don't know the question either. Nor if the answer isn't a question.

FEELING OFF
Ever feel like giving up? Like what is worth? The bell sounds and the time has come.
I believe that you can believe in yourself. We will be the candles to light the rest. A waterfall of
flame against the frozen hearts of old cold kings who came before.
If you feel like giving up, remember who you are. If you get to the point where every step feels
like a giant leap, keep going forward. You can do it, because you have taken every step before you. Our
destiny lies out there in the world somewhere. When things go bad, when we mess up, we will rise
again. We know what it's like to hurt. The best way we can help others is by loving them.
If you're scared, anxious, sad, depressed, you aren't alone and you will make it, one step at a
time. We have grown our wings, now is our time to fly. It is with the fires of compassion that we will
help others. By helping others we help ourselves.
We must make an effort to be as excellent to each other as we can. If it's awkward, well, who
cares? The truth is far more important than our own thoughts of what we think other people think we
are. We can all bring one another up without putting anyone down. Even if you don't know them, you
could.
We don't know exactly where we're going, in fact, we may not have the slightest idea. We will
become Masters of the Universe. You yourself, you can decide you want to make a difference. How does
being excellent to people around you help anything? It helps everything. You never know what a person
is going through. You may think "oh, we don't have anything in common" but really we're all not that
different. If you smile, wave, nod, hold a door or do anything you can do to try to help. That is what
makes people's lives better, it shows then that someone out there still gives a damn.
8/19/2019 The Way of Things
8/94
That is how we will realize the Truth that has been repeated across the ages, across all religions,
poets, philosophers. The thing that creates passion, love, the wonder that is the universe. It is together
that the world works. We are one with the universe, only separate from each other in illusion.
So now is the time, the time for us to decide, who are we going to be? Will you take the blue
pill? Or the red pill? Either way you live your life as you live it. But will you live in lies, or will you
continue to realize the Truth? We are all capable of greatness, of doing great things. Never give up.
What you have sought is out there. It may not be obvious, but together we can realize it.
So I hope that you would join me, to bring yourself to a greater consciousness towards others. A
greater sense of empathy, and compassion. It is a choice you must make on your own, to be as excellent
as you can to others. If you need help, others can guide you, I can guide you. You can even look to the
universe for answers, it's there in some form. But I hope you come to this wonderful realization,
because well for lack of words, it's most awesomely bodacious.
There is nothing more important than understanding this. You should share this for all to see.
You should inform all you know of this disparity in which you will discover, and speak of it with them.
Do you ever feel weird or out of place? Feel like you don't belong? Feel hurt depressed? Perhaps
you were told you have a mental illness? You see we do not understand these things very well, we kind
of do in the relative sense of how we understand them in regards to how we've been raised to
understand these things.
But going beyond time, breaking the confines I have realized this is not the case. A flicker of wild
eyes. Some are told they are mad, some are told they are different and must be normal. From the very
beginning the problem is avoided because we cannot see it and we do not know how much we're
worsening it.
8/19/2019 The Way of Things
9/94
This makes people feel cursed. Like they were born with this thing because they are lesser than
any other person. This is never true. If you feel cursed, your curses are but gifts you were never taught
to control. If they have to break you so that you they can keep you in society, they will, because they
think that is how they can solve it (and that's easier than understanding). Society understands and sees
so little. It is built on fragile foundations. It understands so much in its own relative view, and this allows
us to be easily blind. As it is said, "Nothing is true, everything is permitted."
Did you ever stop to think that what you know might be wrong? That things are not as they
seem to be? When it comes to these sort of things the only thing we can know is nothing. Our relative
knowledge passes off its use in practical forms that appear to advance society and our lives. We use it to
solve problems we don't fully understand. This is to our own detriment, we hurt ourselves.
War? War kills humanity, which in turn will kill us. Kill, kill, kill, that's the solution? That is not a
solution, it is only a solution in a relative sense as you understand it to be a solution, but the problem
still remains. There is a thing which always remains true. Things are only understood in context to
things. To understand in context to the true nature of things, to reality, this is the ultimate
understanding. This is how wars are ended, this is how you find happiness, escape from the fabricated
cycle of suffering that we unknowingly and repeatedly make worse. All you have to do is break free, and
then you will see it. You have to have the will to accept that you could be wrong, but still right in a
sense, on a different level. You will then be able understand on all levels, the true implications and all
things.
Blame things on religion? Religion came to existence in the context of this very realization. That
does not mean religions don't exist, all religions exist and their gods. There is a common understanding
that is lost in different interpretations. Getting stuck in the meaning of the words rather than the
8/19/2019 The Way of Things
10/94
meaning behind the words. No part can be taken out of context, because religions are understood in
context to themselves and the time in which they came into existence.
The way we have of solving all of these problems is no way of solving problems at all. It kills the
individual, it removes us from our own true nature. This hate, these lies, the lack of understanding
creates a disparity within ourselves of who we really are. A disparity between our true nature and our
ego. This is equally seen as understanding vs ignorance, and truth vs lies. This is what it means to live in
truth, the three are the same means to the same understanding.
Through time, where and when no person has gone before, in all realms conjured into existence
by perceiving reality. Let go your ego, it's alright to be wrong. Even if society tells you it's not, it's only
because they're afraid. Our hearts have turned to stone. Walls won't stop it, wars won't stop it, nor
weapons. Humanity together will stop the greatest threat to our existence, which is our own blindness.
Be mindful of this of which I speak, for you will see it within all things. Practice being aware of it if you
have to. I guarantee you it is there.
I can only tell you what is true, you have to decide that you are ok with being wrong. This is
done by letting go your pre-conceived assumptions and allowing this to change your perception and see
things for how they actually are. Open your eyes, it's right in front of you everywhere. The truth is also
right here in front of your very eyes. You don't have to believe me, but I inform you of this out of
compassion, because I too am human, and I know what it is like. I have no dark motives, my only motive
is helping each other "be excellent to each other." You can be free from it. Wake up. Make a difference
in yourself, which is what will make a difference in the world. It has to start, and you can start it.
8/19/2019 The Way of Things

WHAT THIS HAS TO DO WITH YOU
These are things that must be said. Things to be thought about. Flowers bloom freely, beneath
the sun. That of which I speak, isn't an end, it isn't a philosophy, a religion, it simply is the true reality of
the world in which we live.
We live in a world full of suffering. To be free of this suffering is a simple realization. But to
communicate that realization is the hardest thing ever. Everyone thinks in uniquely different ways. Yet
we're all affected by this suffering. You have no reason to believe me, but we can end it together. You
might ask, what does this have to do with you? The vast ocean is made with but single small drops. A
pebble can cause an avalanche. You can help. It is together that we can end the suffering of hate and
greed that plagues this world.
Why? Because you're a part of this world, and we have to believe in the good of the world. You
can help. No matter who you are, how much you don't believe in yourself, how much you think you have
no purpose. No matter how much people looked down on you or you felt like you didn't belong. No
matter how long you've lived in shadows, no matter what you've gone through or what you've done in
your past, you can help. No matter who you think you are, you can help.
This is so important, that of which I speak is love and compassion, it's being our true selves and
not falling subject to the pressures of the world letting our dreams die.
Your help is so important, you might not realize it, but it's the greatest thing you could ever do.
This thing cannot be easily explained, but it can be seen everywhere around us. Open your eyes
and bring yourself to life. Let the light of a thousand suns that resides within you shine out. Let people
be as they are, teach and help them. Show them what it means to care about others, even if you don't
8/19/2019 The Way of Things
12/94
know them. To be decent to other humans who are no more or less human than you are. Ask me, ask
me about all of it.
This truth, it must be realized, for the greater good of all things. This is freedom.
8/19/2019 The Way of Things

STARTING
I find that it's hard to talk with people when people don't know what you're talking about, or are
too weak to try to understand. I do not speak your language. My thoughts are beyond words.
You do not find this in your books. You do not find this in your classroom. You do not find this.
This is beyond relativity. What you know to be true or false, there is something that lies beyond. True
regardless of the self. Upon seeing this you will realize how dead everyone is around you. It kills you, it
hurts so bad. Those who learn to live with it carry the torch onwards, because those that live to fight for
it die, and it along with them.
I'm not asking you to sympathize, I'm asking you to open your eyes. They will never open if you
don't accept the fact that they're closed.
8/19/2019 The Way of Things
14/94
WHERE ARE WE GOING?
The more you begin to understand, the more you realize that you cannot, because you already
do.
What if there was a sound that from since your birth you always heard? At sometimes you can
notice it briefly stop, but you would think that's just how things were.
We are bound to this world physically, but spiritually that is not so. To travel to all worlds, to all
times that is what I speak of. Beyond time, before and after time.
We are trapped. Society has us wishing we had things we don't even want. The addiction to
seeking to fulfill our desires rather than fulfilling them.
Our spiritual selves are in danger. What does this mean? Our metaphysical existence is in
danger, and that will bring an end to our entire physical existence.
If you don't realize that what I'm talking about is the most important thing ever, it is because
you are still being played. Played like an instrument or character in a video game.
That which you seek you already have and are, and you always have been. A game of wits. The
players are you and your demons, your inner self. The difference between who you are, and who you
and the world thinks you are. Know this difference, and you will know the difference.
Dare to open your eyes and see it, stop wishing and do something about it. We are raised as a
society to be blind. We can see past the blindness, or we can live in it. Living in Truth or living in Lies, the
choice is yours.
8/19/2019 The Way of Things
15/94
WHAT YOU BELIEVE, BELIEVE IT
When you understand, it will be the hardest thing ever. When you understand, nothing will be
easier. You won't understand, but you already do.
Should you come to understand what follows, I warn you, there is no going back.
If you talk to me, more likely than not you'll get confused pretty quickly. To you, I'm blathering
about something that you aren't really sure of. I've always talked about the same thing, and I can talk
about it in infinite ways, each time they call it mind blowing, ot interesting. But to truly realize that of
which I speak, there is much more to it.
To understand, we must first ask ourselves: what causes people to be offended? To answer this
we have to look at offending itself. When you direct malevolent or degrading comments towards the
way someone is, as long as that their way is not harmful to others or themselves, just because you
yourself do not agree, then you are offending someone. Sometimes people think that they're
complimenting someone, but they are actually offending them.
Now I am going to tell you something. Understand that this is essentially a filtering process, it
separates those that are strong enough to see the Truth and those that are not ready yet.
Throughout the ages great nations have come and gone, and with them their philosophers.
Great philosophies have lived on. Chiefly through religion. Now naturally saying "God doesn't exist" is no
way to do things. What is this higher power in which so many humans have so many forms of revering?
In the narrow ways of thinking that have developed over time, it becomes an all powerful entity that
watches over us. It is essentially a connection to that of all things, and can be seen in all things. To each
their own, reality crystallizes in the mind, so what you believe, believe it.
8/19/2019 The Way of Things
16/94
If you are not seeking to understand these sort of things, and people are giving these beliefs to
you, giving meaning to these types of things, and not having you develop it yourself, they are hurting
you. Many don't even know this is the case. Every person will understand a religious text, or anything
differently, because of their experiences in life, and the way they think are unique.
Standardizing this understanding is a great danger. Words that kill, words that have no meaning.
They are playing you to understand it in their view. Realizing this is the key. There is something beyond
these individual understandings. A Truth that remains true by it's very nature of existence. It is a simple
truth, and the Truth. It is the truth of existence.
We must keep in mind that understanding is only done in a relative sense, nothing can be
understood without understanding its relationships to other things.
It has long been the goal of humans to have world peace. Understanding the Truth through the
context of our own existence. This is it, the key. Because without our existence than this Truth does not
exist relative to us. This interconnectedness that exists within all things, when we think we are helping,
we are hurting. Wounds that go so deep, wounds that don't show up on machines, that they try to give
you medicine to heal. This way of understanding only solidifies.
Globalization is limiting our perception even further by bringing us to the same understandings.
Such as "look at that monster, stay away from him" well because someone was different they are made
to be hated? When people mess up big, as much as they don't want to, it's hard to forgive them, but it
can be done. But it's infinitely harder to forgive yourself.
Understanding the Truth through the context of our shared existence as the human race, this is
the ultimate realization, its implications are infinite.
8/19/2019 The Way of Things
17/94
Understanding that you could be wrong, that the way you look at things is not necessarily
correct. Understanding that we must be excellent to each other, as best we can.
A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step, each step no more important than the
last. This is simply a step to understanding the true nature of things.
8/19/2019 The Way of Things
18/94
WHO ARE WE TO BELIEVE?
People believe in things. Perhaps they have idols; people they want to become. What you
believe is entirely up to you. There is one thing you should always believe in, yourself. How can you
believe in anything else if you cannot believe in yourself? It's a realization, a realization that you are the
greatest thing in your life. Do not burden yourself with past events. Face adversity with your best that is
in fact the best you can do. Your own awesomeness that derives from your self-belief will take over.
Some may stare at you, you (and everyone else) may think it's because you're weird. If they cannot
accept you, then why does their opinion matter? They are clearly weaker than you, which therefore
turns their harsh comments into a gentle wind against the hard mountain that is you.
You are in charge of your destiny, all determined by how the little things all come together.
Many are blind to it, or refuse to see it. You are the greatest thing in your life. You are wise if you believe
I'm not greater than you are, and a fool to think that I am. All are created equal. All are above the rest. I
believe in your (anyone's) potential to be great. So should you. Never give up. Trust your instincts, not
your society. This is belief in oneself is why I can proudly say "I have the Power!"
I've not put a thought in some time. This is everything, and nothing.
What's worth fighting for? A person, a place, a thing? Fight is a harsh term, while fighting may
usually involve more than one person the fight is most often against yourself. People change, places are
withered by the sands of time and the destruction and growth of men's will, and things, that's all they
are, things.
But what about an idea, a dream, or a belief? Ideas can be crazy, dreams can be false, and
beliefs can be dangerous and harnessed by those with cruel intentions. However, ideas can be great,
8/19/2019 The Way of Things
19/94
dreams can be true, and beliefs can lead you beyond yourself empowering you to believe that there
must be a god.
What's worth fighting to whatever end for? Family, friends, or someone you care deeply about?
You could go so far, and fall into the depths of a philosophical wasteland. Then you might live in the
past, holding on to what was, making you blind to what is and destroying what may be. Or you could,
with the power vested within you, move on from the past to see the present and predict or even create
the future.
It is said, wisdom from the Cave, "In order to ascend, you must first descend." I am sick by my
own actions, my own negativity. I don't get actually sick unless I get mad. Only I have been able to do
that in what might as well be forever. I may have fallen to the bottom for a reason I am not sure of.
Instead of living in the shadows of the past, or dreaming in the scattered rays of the future. I will look to
the light in between, where things matter. Not in disarray, and not in darkness.
The most important thing is to always believe in yourself. This is the one chance you have, your
only existence. There is not, never has been or will ever be another you forever. You are the only one.
You are you, no one else is. You can try to be someone else, but you are always you. This gives you
power, you are unique and your way of thinking, your skills, your ideas and your greatness are unique
only to you. Always be the best you can be, for no one else can do it as well as you can. I may be a beast,
but like the Beast, there is beauty in us all. There are things greater than we can understand that
perhaps work in the shadows. I'm done with being a coward, a fool. That may be who I am, but that can
change. May who you are as a person change for the better. Not the better of yourself, but the better of
all and the better of the Universe.
Everyone falls, it is what they do after that determines who they are as a person. Stay the
course, do what you know to be right, not what you've been told is right. Use logic, knowledge, and
8/19/2019 The Way of Things
20/94
wisdom to ascertain the Truth. Be wary of those that will lie and in their corruption and greed write
what is true. I believe that there is a force, much like the Force, that bonds us all together. Close your
eyes and look for it, just for a moment you might understand. Understanding whilst under a stand is
understandably one of the hardest (which is an understatement) things to understand.
Are you a butterfly? Maybe, maybe not. Butterflies rid of their old selves so that they may
ascend and shoot across the stars.
8/19/2019 The Way of Things

MISGUIDED
Should you feel like you are misguided, or if things feel off, then it would be most helpful to read
this.
We remember things mainly through repetition of emotional response There are those of us
that cannot forget. Those who can remember it all and how it all felt. Those that look at the experience
rather than the results. Those that let go their preconceived ideas of how things must happen, and let
them happen.
Being quiet, that is a choice one can make on their own. Seeking a means to an end, they tell
themselves they will be happy later. They say, "once I get through this, then I will be happy." Yet they
will not walk the Path. The Path that lies right in before them, because they are afraid, they have been
made to fear this Path more than anything.
Memories cannot be fully explained, they can be described to another, but ultimately you have
to be there. The wind blowing in the trees, the rain, the food you smell, all are unique, all of it will never
exist in the same way as it did before. Every moment you're a different person than you were the
moment before, and every moment is made up of infinite moments.
Who will choose? Who are you? Will you let others decide, or will you make the choice? Though
we who are like this are quiet, sometimes the importance of the matter is so great, and you may not
understand why. This is when we appear louder than ever. Talking about what others do not.
We can see how you feel. There's no hope trying to hide it from us, but everyone is different, so
we cannot be fully accurate. But we see it in everyone we pass, we look into their eyes, and should they
look back, we can sense "it."
8/19/2019 The Way of Things
22/94
Understanding this a major key, the importance of what I am speaking of is second to none.
Because the lack of understanding this has been tearing us apart for centuries.
To dance, dance in the rain, dance when the music plays, because unlike those who simply hear
it, you feel it. The soul, the effort that the creators put into it. To close your eyes and feel the world
around you. To smell the smell of the leaves, to taste the taste of the pie (or what have you). This is to
be alive. To be aware of things. It is a hard concept to explain.
Just because it is hard doesn't mean that it can't be explained. It can be fully explained, the only
thing that is required is the will. That it is what it ultimately comes down to.
You already ask yourself if you will walk the Path, but you usually tell yourself no. If you were to
go out in the rain and just start dancing, because you want to, then do it. Just do it. If it is not harmful,
and in accordance with the notion of being excellent to one another, then ITTT … it keeps going, it’s
down here somewhere.

THE INNER MACHINATIONS OF MY MIND
Today when I stepped outside, I realized that the natural world surrounding me was so
beautiful. It was surreal, almost as if a dream, and then I wondered, could a dream be so powerful that it
becomes real? Are we all dreams? I've had dreams before, very strange ones, as you could imagine. It's
most peculiar though; I dream real dreams, these only occur in the future, but almost always do occur. I
also dream incredibly insane dreams (once I was the last of a blue platypus species that could only eat
sticks whilst underwater. I had to travel across a floating rainforest to save myself from death). Dreams
are scary; they are powerful things. Do dreams have an effect on anything, or everything? Things we're
told, things that we're made to believe in, they may have just been once a dream. Are dreams worth
fighting for? I think they are, if it is a good dream. Too many people are filled with stress, sadness and
sorrow. People are beginning to awaken, for we've been asleep for far too long. People may yet be
beginning to realize the truth, which is a dream itself. Dreams can certainly exist while you're awake.
When are we sleeping, and when are we awake? If you close your eyes, you might just wake up. There's
no proper way to understand anything, and just because society has accepted something as the right
way, doesn't mean that it is right. Believe what you know to be true, not what others believe to be true.
If you believe something, then it's certainly considered true to you. Be excellent to the greatest if your
capabilities, not mediocre, not lame, and certainly not hurtful!
Do you hear the waves? I hear them. They will not go away. Every noise makes the waves
louder. I don't get sick, unless I'm incredibly angry (which I wasn't) or incredibly sad (which I suppose I
was). I had destroyed the fake haven I had believed in. All I hear are the waves, I awoke to watch people
descend into chaos for 8 consecutive hours. The waves will not go away...

People have different logic (arguably some are more correct than others). No one is stupid to
someone that can accept everyone. All minds think differently, that's usually why great things can
happen when you combine great minds. That's also why minds are by their very existence, great.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Déjà vu. Are these possible? If you experience it, then yes they are quite real. But somehow you
must've experienced the moment before in order to realize that you have experienced the moment.
Then what is it? A thought? Just some mishap in the brain? Perhaps the experience of a sense other
than the five senses we have grown to favor.
What if you see something? You realize it not only the second time it occurs but you remember
seeing it before (or the first time), even though it hadn't necessarily happened. What if you see other
people, do they see what you see too? When the event happens and the other people experience it,
have they already experienced it? Are people connected far deeper than we realize?
(These questions are not necessarily rhetorical, but also you may have no idea what I'm talking
about and have never experienced déjà vu.)
So comes the final battle, the battle to begin all after it. Some may continue to ascend even
higher, while others will continue the fight without higher knowledge. Many will lose truesight or
motivation, do not despair or be discouraged. Always give life your best, even if you don't feel your life
deserves it. Don't be foolish, be wise. You're better and more capable than you believe yourself to be.
Believe in whatever you want, the truth can be written in an infinite number of languages even within
one language, but there is one thing you should always believe in- yourself. You are you, not anyone
else. No one else is you, only you are.

Do people experience life at the same speed? Some people have faster reactions than other
people. Some people talk a lot faster than others. Every brain is certainly different, the brain is a
connection of neurons. Undoubtedly there has to be some variation. Does this affect how they
experience things? Do they experience it while or after occurring? Time is just a measure between
distinguishable moments of existence and is all relative. Maybe everything is relative, relative to
perception. Things happen relatively differently to the same object, depending on perspective. This
makes it impossible for something to be actually true. That, or maybe I should stop thinking in
paradoxes, it's literally hurting my brain.
If practice makes perfect, but there is no such thing as perfect, then you will all ways practice,
which demoralizes you, which makes you believe there is no end to this madness. Then your will power
is permanently reduced making it harder to have saving throws in will power. Then you start to suck,
then all your stats are reduced. Now, guess what? You just lost the game and for ever more are no
longer a player, but that's all I would suppose. That's all it takes, it’s like a poison without a high will
power you’re screwed... Don't lose the game so soon, don't make those stupid mistakes, its all-risk-vs-
reward don't risk it and end up with nothing. We're all just players in the unforgiving game, with only
one life, do, believe and perceive. That's all it takes. No try. No turns. So, good luck. This is our story,
however its only influence is your individual story.

THE MEANING OF LIFE
What is the point of life? It may seem a strange question, because in the end we're going to die.
When we're dead we're gone, nothing more but dust in the wind.
Legends never die.
They may say that there is no point to life or tell you to live life according to some extreme
being. Regardless, live your life by being awesome, and being you. We're all humans and we don't like to
hurt each other, we want to help one another. Yet many are so hurt, or so lost, that they need help.
Hurt turns into hurting others.
Our lives may seem pointless, yet it is the exact opposite. We must create our stories as we live
them, forge our legacies as we build them. We may eventually cease to exist. Yet what we do has the
power to impact countless generations ahead of us. Something with that much power is not
insignificant. Someone with that much power is not insignificant. We all have our flames within us
burning a million times greater than the sun. We all have great power and capability. It is within us, it
must be sought. I don't know, but I believe we can change. Change for the better of all people I hope.
Some say we're the dreamers, others say we're fools. I would rather die a fool believing and
fighting for a dream than die just watching my life fly by before me and simply just existing through it
listening to others tell me different versions of the same answers. You must ask yourself, who are you,
and what do you want to get from your life, who do you want to be? I can only ask the questions, you
must answer them from within you, because they don't exist without you.
Love life, it's awesome. Where you are doesn't have to be sad, as long as you are happy. Nobody
else could live my life. It would be too much for them, yet I can live no one else's either. Only you can
live your life. Only you have the power to be you. Your worth everything to this world because there is
8/19/2019 The Way of Things
27/94
only one of you, and there was never nor will there be another. You're the best at being you. See, the
thing about a candle is that it can light a thousand other candles and still burn strong, just like
happiness. My best may not be very good at times, but I'll always give my best. You should too, don't let
yourself down. My Universe may be broken by my own accord (it was arguably was a pre-conceived
reality). But not really, we're all here together in the same Universe, and therefore we should all matter
to one another. Hence the phrase "Be excellent to each other."

SOME SORT OF IDEA
What is a meme? "an idea, behavior, or style that spreads from person to person within a
culture”. Join the military and you get free college! This is a common idea to bring against Bernie
Sanders. There is no one more consistent than him. You go to war, become a veteran if you live, and you
are forgotten.
War makes money, the military industrial complex. The rich profit off war. This is a fact, you can
deny it if you want but it remains true. Donald Trump himself spoke the truth, there were no weapons
of mass destruction and we knew it. There were none. We can't just go bomb the hell out of things.
Donald Trump is gathering the most ignorant and selfish egotists and rallying them. This is the largest
problem.
Bernie Sanders economic plans are not stupid. Over 150 of the worlds top economists have
praised his model. There is a reason that in virtually all fantasy societies are Democratic Socialists. You
raise the ladder from the bottom so that those at the top can get higher, through hard work. Claim that
democratic socialism leads to laziness? Wake up. The way things are now leads to laziness, this grand
idea of the American dream is that through hard work you can get to the top. They want you to believe.
It is a dream, they will profit off of you and you will try and try, a few go through because it requires too
much effort to stop, and we have to make it seem real.
If you say capitalism is American? Do you know what it means to be American? Remember your
roots? Liberty, Freedom, Democracy, and the pursuit of happiness. Capitalism is the enemy of
democracy. Money will take over because capitalism and mainly most of today's republicans,
democrats, everyone. but Bernie Sanders and Donald Trump. But as much as you like to think you know
what's happening, you cannot know all of it.

We have the duty as American citizens to insure our ideals live on, our principles. These are
what surpass time. When we go and bomb the hell out of another country, we are noting but terrorists.
The value of a life, virtue, principle, these are the foundations of a noble society. When you turn to
blaming other groups you are weak. You stand against understanding.
In this world people do as they will, whether you claim we have free will or not, we have the
power to choose. Before us lies the very fabrication of our future, every moment passes by and there
are infinitely many moments within each moment.
We are at war. The war for America. They tell us to thank our soldiers for our freedom, so that
they can slowly take it away, brainwashing those fighting for us to live. They brainwash them, then they
toss them out once they've made profit. We are at war. Every moment that goes by we have to live to
our principles. It may be hard, but in failing to do so the world falls into greater despair. It may seem
easy to take the path of Donald Trump, blame and deal with it later.
Now is the time, generation after generation has failed to bring us back to the realization that
we are dependent on the Earth. That we are here together. That we are all living on this planet together.
We are the citizens of nations, but we are the guardians of the Earth. Regardless of our social
differences, when we go elsewhere in the name of defense, to further our ideals, we ruin our ideals.
When we try to promote our western way of thought that now permeates the globe, we are killing
ourselves. There are different ways of looking at the same thing, Just as Sanders and Trump. The power
of memes.
We have to choose how we want to live in this world, and now is the time. We cannot wait, it is
our duty to ensure a successful future for those that will come after us. To ensure the survival of
8/19/2019 The Way of Things
30/94
humanity, for that is the greatest thing we have. The suffering of others, even if unknown to you, leads
to the suffering of yourself. Mr. Sanders himself said that when you hurt, I hurt.
Should you stand for hate, so be it, you can deny these words, claim them hypocrisy, do as you
will and no one will stop you. Hopefully someone will. The only one who can is you. You have to ask
yourself what kind of world YOU want to live in. What kind of would YOUR family wants to live in. YOUR
children, everyone's children.
We fight for democracy, for it is a choice. What greater choice is there than to choose? Believe
what you will, convince yourself as you will, upon your own accord. You will see who you truly are as
person should you try to understand.
This is so much bigger than some person being president. There is something much grander
underlying. It is a war that has been fought across time. A war between misunderstanding and
understanding. Between good and evil. Between Truth and Lies.
When they hide the Truth from you, they feel powerful. This is because they are too weak to
take the harder path. We cannot all walk this path, but you have been taught to walk against it, taught
to be a zombie who wanders this path.
It tears me apart, as if every moment my very existence is being shattered into infinitely many
more pieces than you can even conceive. The foundations of our existence are crumbling and have been
for so long, in our blindness we destroy them. Our humanity, the Earth, it goes away.
You feel it too don't you? Anxiety? Sad for no reason? They will tell you that it is a chemical
imbalance, tell you that this needs to be done this way, to fix this thing. In reality they try to solve the
symptoms, not the problem. The symptoms lessen but the problem remains. If you truly understand
8/19/2019 The Way of Things
31/94
what it is to understand then you will understand that it is your duty to fight. You have to stand against
misunderstanding, for it is darkness, it is lies. You have to become the light, and in this battle, the light
must fight the light. Helping one another reach the true understanding. Always trying to explain to the
other what is truly going on, we may be offended by others at times but we have to see it. Those in the
darkness need not fight for they already do.
We have to take into consideration everything. The implications of our actions, and ask
ourselves how that affects our existence, does it breed hate? If it has a negative impact we must rethink
our ways or it only gets worse. Once you truly understand, you will realize that this is the most
important thing ever. Your very existence will stand as testament to misunderstanding. You will become
light itself.
This war of thought, it is the origin of gods. Its message spoken by Buddha, Jesus, Mohammad,
spoken by every great prophet. The golden rule even, treat others as you want to be treated. Be
excellent to each other. This is where humanity resides, but we must seek to understand, constantly. If
we are not trying to understand, then we don’t realize that we don’t understand. By writing, speaking,
thinking a greater infinite understanding is approached. You can only get so close, but you cannot
actually get there, because you are already there.
It is our egos that get in our way, because we think it’s just me. Many people don’t know who
they are. Many people need the validation and presence of others to define themselves. In this sense
you are who you think I think you think you are. You have to find yourself. Because it is lost, somewhere
inside of you. And that is not somewhere any other person can go. We can dive into hell, and if we find
you, we won’t know it.
It is within you that the future resides, it rests on you knowing yourself. I cannot tell you, no one
can, you must look inside yourself to find out. This can lead to ignorance, asking oneself “Am I not
8/19/2019 The Way of Things
32/94
perfect?” No you’re not. But you can be. You have to answer this question, because this lies at the basis
of all things. To overcome odds, to overcome challenges, to overcome fear, to overcome depression, to
overcome anxiety, to overcome social awkwardness, to overcome hate, to overcome all things. These
are the sages, the wise men spoke of old times, people who knew who they were. These are the people
that anonymously change society.
If I could sacrifice myself to save the world and bring us to this understanding and be completely
forgotten, and given no honor, no glory, not even be remembered, I would. The importance of what lies
before us is beyond all things.
You must find out who you are. The fate of the world depends on it. Find that person, and ask
yourself, what have I become? You must see yourself for who you truly are, and then see who you want
to be. Not where you want to be, “working a successful job with a good significant other and kids” that
is the weak path. Who you think is someone honorable of being, someone who is compassionate
towards others, someone who wants to understand others. So many people say they can’t understand
this notion, they say that it is beyond them. It is not beyond you, it is within you.
It is no easy journey because the darkness has us fabricate our lives in a certain way molding it
so that misunderstanding can replicate itself. If you do not understand yourself, you truly cannot
understand anything. Your way of though is unique, the connections you make are unique because they
are different than everyone else who has gone and will come to pass. To go through this is to break the
universe, all that you know will turn out to be false. Your way of seeing things that was bestowed to you
by society that is ruled by old greedy men will die. You will enter the void and it will seem as if all has
gone to hell. But keep going, deeper, and deeper, and deeper. You will understand when you refuse to
give up.

Take my word for it, it is there. What is the ultimate goal, you, you are there. Alone on top of
the mountain within you.
Answers to questions lie before you, you may not know that you have these questions but these
answers are the very answers that all people have sought at one point or another. They are the answers
that cause great works of art and that spark ingenuity. You have the power to ascend to your most
excellent state of being. The pieces of your destiny lie before you and you yourself are the forge. What
will become of you, is for you to decide.
It is said, wisdom from the Cave, "In order to ascend, you must first descend.”
The most important thing is to always believe in yourself. This is the one chance you have, your only
existence. There is not, never has been or will ever be another you forever. You are the only one. You
are you, no one else is. You can try to be someone else, but you are always you. This gives you power,
you are unique and your way of thinking, your skills, your ideas and your greatness are unique only to
you. Always be the best you can be, for no one else can do it as well as you can. I may be a beast, but
like the Beast, there is beauty in us all. There are things greater than we can understand that perhaps
work in the shadows. I'm done with being a coward, a fool. That may be who I am, but that can change.
May who you are as a person change for the better. Not the better of yourself, but the better of all and
the better of the Universe.
Everyone falls, it is what they do after that determines who they are as a person. Stay the course, do
what you know to be right, not what you've been told is right. Use logic, knowledge, and wisdom to
ascertain the Truth. Be wary of those that will lie and in their corruption and greed write what is true. I
believe that there is a force, much like the Force, that bonds us all together. Close your eyes and look for
it, just for a moment you might understand.

Behind you, the shadows of the past. Ahead an uncertain mist. In you an empty wasteland.
When you look back, you cannot turn around. You can only go forward. Your imagination is playing with
you, you see things in the mist ahead. The more you walk onwards the more you see, and the much
more you fear. The more you see this entity in the mists, the more you fear it will not come true. While
the sun is in the air everything is so clear. But near the end, a beautiful red glow. The warmth and light is
fading; you can sense it. Darkness is coming and you see people walking around you. You know all of
them, but they seem to pass you, and the few that stop, only stop for a moment. After another moment
they all seem gone and only a select few are there with you, inside you, filling that wasteland. Darkness
is coming, you must either make a fire, or become one yourself. For there is no one left who can come,
because no one else knows. You watch everything slowly fade away. When the fields are overrun and
when the night has just begun. You feel, alone, you are alone. You can no longer see ahead and only
behind. You are alone... You try to make a fire once more, but fail. It almost seems like a pointless
attempt because there is no courage left for the next day. You can see we're you've been but not even
guess where you're going. But perhaps in time you will find something, but when you find it. You realize
it's already inside you, and you were the one who had to do something, because in this world someone
else won't see it and it's up to you. For all ears are deaf to what is not spoken, all eyes are blind to what
is not seen, and all minds are free of what is not thought. But who would think, who would think. Now
you are free.

harmful, in others or not "socially acceptable" you embrace as a part of that individual and who they
are. Doing the best you can to help other people, as much as you can. The reason for this is that we all
live on the resplendent Earth together, and without the Earth we would not exist. Just as without one
another we would not exist. It really is that simple, should you choose not to believe it, well, I can't
make you. I can ask you questions, throw you ideas, but unless you ask yourself questions, you won't
have any answers. If you don't have answers, well then you won't have any way to answer the
questions. You won't be able to ask the questions unless you have the answers. The answers are in
everything around you, you just have to see them.
Nothing is true, everything is permitted . The sky, purple, blue, red, and white with snow falling.
It was there I realized, the time has come. For it has always been now. Nothing is as it seems.
See this through to the end, and you may understand what may be considered as the Truth.
Let go your earthly tether,
Enter the void,
Empty,
And become wind.
Let go of everything you know, your perceptions, your beliefs, and all of it. Become nothing,
become nobody. You have to do this from the beginning.
This is the hardest thing to do. Language, you're reading English. I am not thinking in English
when writing this, I'm thinking in a language that does not exist outside my own mind. The very meaning
of what I'm thinking cannot be translated into exactly what I want it to mean. When you read this, all of
the words you know, have relative meaning to you. What I mean originally and what you interpret
cannot be the same thing. This is true of ALL written texts, true of anything that is interpreted, that
8/19/2019 The Way of Things
37/94
leaves from one person to another. Looking into words, looking into meaning, often people say one
thing, but they are not fully aware of what they are saying means.
Should someone tell you some ultimate truth, it is there interpretation of it. The only way to
avoid this is to surpass the relativity that exists within our understanding.
Do you understand? What is it to understand? Do we even understand understanding?
Understanding something is relative within oneself, we all understand things through how they relate to
other things. Yet none of these understandings are the same within people. To understand the Truth,
you have to step back and realize this difference within everyone.
Everyone has lived different lives, had different experiences, these all affect how we understand
things, in context to our own lives and how things affect us. Everything is connected, that sounds
cheesy, but it is true. Everything has some sort of reason, and can affect other things in infinite ways. So
we can take this and apply it to the human existence, and see every human is unique.
There has never been another you, nor will there be. Any person that has come to this world will
not come again. Your ways of thinking are infinitely valuable. People with practical skills are seem to
given more value because other people can benefit from those ideas. But everyone thinks differently,
when someone dies, that unique way of thinking is lost. There is nothing greater than the life of a
person.
So how does this relate to understanding? There is one thing that is in common, understanding
the difference of understandings. That is the only thing that can be understood in the same way,
because it's understanding understanding. Understand that the relativity being gone is what allows you
to progress.

This is free will, to choose, but to choose what? To choose how we will live our lives, not given
morals or ethics from our past, those "above" us. We have been in a cycle, since the beginning of
civilization. A cycle where this understanding has struggled time and time again to come to life. But now
the world is united through technology. Now is a crucial time, we must seize this moment.
We have the power to choose to live our lives, to understand our lives in context the very thing
that allows that understanding to exist. Our own existence, your understandings do not exist without
you, whether it be in the afterlife or right here on Earth. In context the human existence is how we have
to look at things, what kind of world do we want to live in?
There's only one world worth fighting for, and that's the one we live on. A world that is kind to
the thing that allows it to exist, the Earth. A lifestyle that once existed long ago. Compassion for the
Earth, compassion for others. Being excellent to one another, and everything. Coming to this
understanding would ease so much suffering in the world.
This is the Truth. When people say we should go bomb ISIL, it hurts. The full implications are not
understood, when you go over there and are like, look this is the way things are, and it is our own
interpretation of things. We are immediately saying the way you see the world does not matter, our way
is the best way. We have the power to bring the way we see the world into harmony by understanding
one another. The enemy to understanding is the lack of understanding. It is a war that has long been
fought. When people say things, and they don't fully understand, it's dangerous because it spreads
misunderstandings.
It gets to the point where people no longer understand themselves. A difference between who
they truly are, and how they appear. Women have been sexualized by men forever, subject to a weak
understanding, the patriarchy has continued to exist. This is to ascend beyond our animal nature and
evolve into thoughtful beings. To understand in context to how it affects people. The children of the
8/19/2019 The Way of Things
39/94
people you bombed will live their life to hate you. People will live in fear all their life like they're always
being judged, having to live up to some society is too weak to understand.
This problem has been largely avoided, because it's wrought with fear. It is much easier to fear,
who knows what will happen? We can work on this though. On the individual level you can change. If
you can change, then you can change the world. You have to ask yourself what you live for. Think about
other people, not only as your brethren, but as you. They are a part of you, in your memory, or have
some effect on your life in some form.
So you have to ask yourself, how you will live your life. I cannot answer it for you. But by all that
is good in this world I implore you to try to live it as excellently as you can. Thinking about the future of
the world, your great, great, grandchildren. And you have to follow it. Society does not always make it
easy to be excellent to one another, sometimes it's very hard, or impossible. But try, as much as you
can, to look out for us, and the world.
Can you let go your ego, your longing to be "right?" Will you see things for how they truly are, or
will you aid misunderstanding? The choice is yours. You just have to want to keep climbing, and then,
eventually, you will see it.
The blind man is the one who thought he could see, and refused to believe he couldn't. To make

As We See It
Perception is what our entire society is built on.
If a person who loses an arm can still feel that arm is the arm really gone? If they can feel the
arm and you take away their ability to see and touch where the arm would be than is it really gone?
Perhaps everything is just perception, it's based on what we know, or think we know. Maybe also what
we've been told. So if you perceive an apple as an orange, what is an orange? People that are colorblind,
they perceive different colors to be the same. That is all they know, the senses tell the brain what is
around it and the brain processes it, so the mind perceives everything else the same way. So if someone
can perceive an arm that was once there, does that mean they can perceive not only something that
was but something that will be? Perhaps not, the paradoxes could come in. However I often feel like
whatever I'm doing has happened before. So did it already happen? Or happen while I had it happen
before?
So if everything is predetermined, then we must be able to mathematically predict exactly what
will happen. This presents a problem, for if we know what is going to happen then we won't wait around
until it does. We will of course try to stop it, but can one stop the inevitable? We cannot stop time, so
we cannot stop what will happen. It does seem, however, we may change what will happen. We all live
in one big changing chain of events with forever many chains that branch out. Some chains may end,
intersect or even seem to continue on much longer than the rest. Things happen, whether it be willed by
oneself or brought upon by an external power.
Our dreams reflect what we have done, past experiences, so if something is bound to happen, then has
it already happened? Or perhaps it is by random chance we live, and the mind is putting together what it
knows, either way. Do not always disregard what you dream as fake, but look for the similarities
between what's real and what you believe to be fake.

Life is the one thing that nothing can be compared to because there is nothing like living

mind is very smart, it uses logic and reason to answer questions. It is our nature to want to find answers,
answers where we may never get to know the truth. What happens when you die? You stop
experiencing this world, maybe to move on to the next, or maybe to live on in the rest of the world’s
minds. It's up to you to decide, until you find out. We can never have peace while we cannot agree.
Maybe we are trying harder then we have to, in order to be civilized. There are bad people, people who
cannot conceive the human experience. What can one person do? It seems really insignificant, perhaps
if I was born in a time yet past, the world would be a different place, perhaps if I was born when I was,
the world will become a new place. Call me a fool, heretic, idiot, or anything else. But if we sit around
waiting for something to happen, it won't. Perhaps life has a purpose, such as helping others complete
theirs.
As long as you believe in something, it's real, and as long as you believe in someone, they can change
the world. Those people in history books were no different than you or I. Laugh at this if you want, but it
is the simple truth. You may never believe it, or ignore it, but 5 + 4 will still be =9, it will only become 462
if something is done about it.
The reality that exists beyond realities, The Truth, is reality. It is like an Inner Peace. But to
understand it you have to realize that your perception defines reality. The reality of what is. Only by
connecting the past, present and future can it be realized. The past only exists in the present and the
present lies in the future. The problem is that it cannot be explained with words.
Society is built upon an incredibly fragile foundation. The problem with arguing "self-interest" is that
(especially) the Western world is very self-oriented. How can one exist without everything else around
them? They all work in harmony, they are all part of each other. The concept of a self is a reality created
by our minds. The end may justify the means, or do the means justify the end? Who decides what is
8/19/2019 The Way of Things
43/94
justifiable? Rather, who decides what is? There are countries that exist that are not considered
countries, therefore, there are things that exist that we do not acknowledge. There are things we don't
understand, and things that we have no idea about. However, there is also so much we know, and by
knowing more we learn we know less. Denying that the reality exists only prevents one from seeing it.
Wake up, open your eyes and free your mind.
I looked towards the minds of others and saw purpose. Purpose exists within us as a whole. It's
only a concept, just like society. It's based on such fragile ideas nobody questions. They just accept the
way things are. Our clever minds try to make sense of senseless things. They create illusions of order to
confront the chaos of our world. As of this comment, does it have purpose? That can only
be determined in your mind. The mind is the most powerful tool we Homo sapiens have. Not only does
it help us, it can hurt us. It's the reason you are. It creates the concept of who you are, not who, or what
you look like. It creates an entire plethora of things you cannot understand. It's the reason for reason...
Every thought about our society is wrong because without thought it doesn't exist. The way we live now
isn't even close to how we used to. It's only a passing thing, perhaps we will fall due to ourselves. It
matters not how something was, only how it is, because if it stops being it cannot possibly be.
I very much adore those most un-convenient moments when the most unexpected of events
occurs, and then the quote expect the unexpected makes the totally least sense, for if one expects what
is unexpected it becomes, expected, and then what was should have happened at first does not happen.
Of course that is not what you expect. The real truth is that there is no end. But the truth is a lie, that's
the truth, which is a lie.
The world is a strange place. Among western societies especially, we are told what to believe.
We are told history from its perspective. Wealthy people keep themselves in control. We are told what
is possible. Would anyone think a car possible two thousand years ago?

They tell us if great men that lived during golden ages. Of men who gave their lives for that of all
humans. There are many who have come to past. There are great women too, yet we are told not to
believe these things. There are things today we do not fully understand, such as the Pyramids. Religions
speak of people of gods or of gods themselves. What they don't tell you is that those were people too.
Every great prophet, was just a person. A person wielding the divine power in which humans have used
since the beginning of time to perpetuate themselves across the wonderful and vast Earth.
This is willpower. The will to build a monument to bury your God Kings in. The will to express
oneself to monuments to some god you believe in. If you can't respect someone else's beliefs, then
yours have no right to be respected. It is in harmony we all must abide with one another.
They say politics and religion are a touchy subject, it is because they are built to make you
believe what they want you to. By talking to each other we come to a realization, a human realization.
When we can cast our thoughts from ourselves and think about the good of the people is when we will
realize it.
If you do not believe in your dreams, then they are much less likely to happen. You have the
power to bring them into reality. But you must have the will. The will of humans is stronger than that of
any force that has ever existed on the Earth. The "Greatest Generation" has turned Millennials to see
the bad, and that the greatness has passed. A shattered society that is still stuck in its ways of greed and
disregard for reality. Human will has survived every natural disaster, from the very first humans we as
humans have fought to survive. We will be our only downfall.
People just want to fit in, be a part of something. You can see it in their eyes. Fear, uncertainty
they attack our courage. With will we can overcome fear. People are not objects of furthering your
existence or suiting your means. People are just like you, every person that has come and gone. While
you can inspire yourself, it is hard to believe it if you do not see it. The Truth is much better realized

through that of the people around you. Not every pebble has caused a rockslide. But a rockslide can be
started by the smallest of pebbles.
Who will you be, and will you have the will to do what you know in your heart to be good? Or
will you live your life believing what you have been told? Me telling you is hypocritical, you must seek
the truth yourself. Be excellent to each other, and take it easy, the Dude Abides, but most importantly,
PARTY ON DUDES! In every aspect of your life, see the good the fun, the party.
When life gives you lemons, Just Dude It, just do some Dude Jitsu, Abide Chi or what have you,
or you can even dance if you really want to. Never let anyone tell you that you can't dance. Everyone
can dance!

THE WAY OF THINGS
I see it now. I have realized it. The very profound thing, the most important thing to ever exist.
There is nothing that comes close to its importance because without it there is the absence of things.
This is it. It transcends being, it transcends transcendence. The greatest dilemma is putting this into
words. To understand these words is easy, but to reach this ultimate understanding is the hardest thing
in existence.
That which will come to pass has passed before, because time is an illusion. Everything is one.
The true nature of things lies right in front of us. Yet all you have to do, is to open your eyes. Then you
will see it. It is what makes everything beautiful, and peaceful, it is true happiness rather than happiness
from other means. It is the understanding of actions. To describe that of which I speak, is not yet
possible, but then again has always been possible. This is the way of things. We live in a world where the
individual is made to feel inadequate. Human nature plays a large role, I'm pretty but not as a pretty as
that person, or I'm not as successful as that person. We live in a world where we spiritually kill ourselves
so that we may conform.
Fear. Fear stops people from acting. When our actions are unharmful, acting in accordance with
them we will find bliss, serenity. When we act in accordance with our own unique nature. The problem
arises when the nature of others is not understood. This is what drives people into hate and sadness.
We cannot fall victims to a greedy world that exploits our feelings, it exploits our being without
us being aware. This is why we must be aware of our awareness. Aware of the dark thoughts that cross
our minds so that we can stop them, aware of when we are being made to feel lesser than others.
Because in truth, when you treat others with honor and excellence, none are greater than you. Some

TIME
Standing on the edge of time, with each breath we take, infinite moments have already passed
by. We unfold with time itself.
Sometimes I ask myself, they have to feel it too, don't they? It's everywhere here, they have to
feel it. You can't just ignore it, it's everything. Maybe they can't see it? But isn't it what makes us
human? Am I not human?
It's a battle, one that never ends. Even with a heart of courage it's hard, harder than moving
mountains. Looking around, those around you are helping the very force that is against us all and our
humanity. We have to keep fighting, for freedom.
So you're standing on the edge, and the very ground beneath you only appears below you right
when you put your foot down to step on it. You don't know it'll be there, you don't know if you're
fighting this battle alone, because everyone else doesn't seem to get it. It's like they're fighting amongst
themselves over petty matters, avoiding the battle, enslaved to false kings. They are tethered to that of
an understanding that they want to believe is true because they don't want to go farther.
This makes it a very hard battle. If you try talking to someone and it doesn't work, or if you do
something for someone and they don't say thank you, your efforts were not in vain. Maybe they're
fighting this battle too.
You can stand and fight against the darkness, and become a legend in your own sense. Is
darkness truly to wash over us all? Can we fill our hearts with undying love, for all that we hold dear in
this world? The cycle can still be broken, but this is the end. If the cycle is not broken now, in this time,
the battle will be over. Then it will be too late. After the fall, you won't even know you've fallen.

realm of being, it comes down to love. It turns out that love and the good in this world is the greatest
weapon to fight fear, grief, anxiety and sorrow.
Love. Love is dying in the world, no one wants to take the time to build it, moving from one
person to the next, seeking perfection where perfection lies behind a vast wall of insecurity and
misunderstanding built up by the very societies in which we live. Love is something that must constantly
be worked on, and truly one must fully love themselves before they can love another. To understand
how you yourself works, to understand who you are, and what you live for. When you know who you
are, then you can see and respect who others are.
There's nothing better than to be so impassioned or to truly love something or someone. It is as
if tens of thousands of lifetimes pass, and in reality almost none pass at all. Each moment, there being
infinite moments within moments, lasting as long as time itself. What so many seek lies directly in front
of them, they just do not see it. It often tends to be that they don't know what they're seeking because
they do not understand yet, or they understand and they have failed to find that understanding within
others causing them forsake their true selves. But ultimately it's all up to us. Each person individually has
the power to choose who they will become.
In time you may grow to see this, but the world will be a lot better place, should you see it now,
rather than later. But such is the way of things, and such people who truly understand are truly free.
While those who do not understand are also truly free, yet unaware that they are. Don't be a slave,
while currently you may be bounded by society in a physical sense, let your soul be free. Go and run
wild, across the plains of existence (of which there are infinite all springing from this world and from
within you). Perhaps then you will see it, and maybe you'll realize it has been right in front of you this
whole time. Seeking it will get you nowhere. Once you accept that you are nowhere, then seeking
nothing won't get you anything. Then you'll get everything. (No you won't understand every math

equation, or all of the relative things we have created to speak of the world, as it is commonly
perceived. You will understand it). It's up to you, you just have to choose, and in this matter you have no
choice. By not choosing you choose the path of ignorance and lies. By choosing to go forth into the void
and understand, you choose understanding and Truth.
It's up to you.
And you alone.
The clock is ticking.

THE UNIVERSE
The Universe is an amazing place, there is beauty to be seen in every part of it. Many have
attempted to bring others to this realization. There is great power in the Universe, a great serenity that
can be found. To grasp this realization is to realize The Truth, the ultimate realization. The only thing
required for this realization is yourself. Anyone can ask you a question, but only you can answer it.
Why you should you care about some “universal truth?” What can you possibly do about it?
We’re all just drops of water in an endless ocean, dust in the wind, finite in our existence and our
capabilities. What worth can we possibly have? An ocean would not exist without each drop of water;
each is important to exist, but no drop more important than the other. When you realize you are no
different than a drop of water, you will become more important than others by realizing that you are
not more important than others. There’s something unique about each and every person.
There’s something that only you have that only you can give to this world. No one will ever be
able to fully recreate it and it has never existed before. That quality, is you. You. People become afraid
to be themselves, they turn into clones or follow pathways that have already been paved. There is
nothing greater than being yourself. That is why you should care. You can ascend for the greater good,
but only you can do it. Why are people afraid to be themselves, why should you be the best you can be?
There’s so many people out there that are hurt, that feel alone and worthless. Even if you are one of
those people, you can help them. People that are hurt are easily dominated by the weak wills of
corrupted people, people that are living in lies because they do not want to accept the truth.
Ask yourself, who are you? Where will you be in twenty years? Go in to a quiet and cozy place,
and if only for a little while lay down your phone and whatever other item that would distract you. I’m
not asking you to see the future, but imagine, who do you want to be?
8/19/2019 The Way of Things
53/94
You can be who you imagined yourself to be. You can see the future, because you can create
that future. You have the power to become who you want to become. When you awake, having faith in
that dream, that image of what you’re capable of, let it be what drives you. Everything you do will
reflect that which you seek to become. All you must do is have the will. No one else could live your life.
Everything you do are affected by everything you have been and everything that you are. Your life an
experiences are unique. There will be pain, there will be sorrow, whether or not you choose to become
who only you can be. It can be scary, but you have gone through everything in your life and have arrived
at where you are now. Make fear afraid of you. Have faith in yourself and what you are capable of, then
go for it.

BREAKING THE UNIVERSE
This world we live in, it's so wrong. When I was a kid, I thought adults would know things. Sure
we know stuff in a relative sense, and in a sense useful to our current state of existence. Metaphysically
speaking we don't know shit. This is the most important thing, because it's our existence, if we don't
exist, neither will anything else. Sexism is rampant everywhere further perpetuating harm towards
others. Misunderstanding is everywhere, ignorance is everywhere.
Insulting others and talking about how you're going to do great things, what kind of world is
that? A world where they say oh that's such a liberal thing to say? Oh that's so conservative. Do we not
understand anything? People are so caught up in their own version of an understanding they refuse to
fully understand in context to the ultimately most important thing, our existence.
Religion? Religion is good, there is a thing that has many names, but when people get into "this
is right", this is the way mode, then that connection to that deeper understanding is lost. THAT is the
ultimate understanding is that which just passed. But when people are programmed to believe what
they want you to believe, rather than getting the meaning and understanding it yourself, you are lost.
The biggest part of the problem is that we don't want to be wrong. It's right in front of us, it's
quiet. Suicide? Someone kills themself and people are like "oh what a shame". We're living a world full
of lies, built on greed and exploiting especially the young. A world where the people in charge simply
don't give a fuck, the entire economy, entire way of seeing things is rigged. People have tried to get the
same message out forever now, but they always get killed.
We're killing the Earth, even a Gorilla knows that's wrong. Kill this world, kill ourselves and there
is nothing left. Sure go to your "afterlife." The amount of harm, the amount of lies and problems people
present simply by just doing as they were told is unfathomable. Think. I thought people thought about
8/19/2019 The Way of Things
55/94
things, important things. Really, the fate of mankind is in great peril, almost ensuring its own end, and
you think about how she said that or how you can make someone like you? There's ultimately nothing
that can be done when nobody wants to understand. Governments sit pointlessly because one group
KNOWS they are right. But in reality neither group knows shit. People don't vote because they say it's
broken. It's broken because we don't do a thing about it. Our way of seeing the world is broken. It is a
lie. Sure I can condemn our way and how do I prove this?
If you need proof, then you don't understand. The Truth is brutal. We cannot know if there is an
afterlife, the true nature of things is that HERE in this moment, you are a part of this world. You have a
role to play, you have something that only you can provide to the world, which is yourself. You're no
different than anyone else, nothing special. Yet, at the same time, you're infinitely different than every
body else, special in your own way. We all live in the Earth together, this is a fact (and those dudes in the
Space Station) Without the Earth we do not live. When we kill someone else we kill ourselves a
thousand times over.
How many more have to die? How long will it take for people to understand this? I'm not ahead
of my time, this is the same thing Buddha, Socrates, Confucius, Jesus, Muhammad, every great prophet,
and philosopher were talking about, the same question. A question that lies behind words.
To understand our own existence which is interwoven between us all, the whole Earth. In
context to which that understanding exists, the only way to ensure this is to practice and work to have
compassion and understanding, compassion through understanding, then it will make sense.
It has been a long time since I have seen beauty in the Universe. I went into a metaphysical void
to stay there until the end of my time. Through whatever you may call it, fate, or the good will of
another, I have returned. I live for Philosophy, Beauty and Truth. Gods Among Us, Angels Upon Us,
Demons Within Us.

The stars, the clouds, the trees, the leaves, and everything from the ground to beyond the Earth
is beautiful. They are, the way they are. Unafraid of what others think of them, unafraid to act in truth
because they do not fear if others will accept them. Striving for excellence in all strides of life leads you
to be a better person. "Living In Truth," Satyagraha. People can live in lies and take advantage of others,
destroying others to better themselves. There are evil people out there, that don't give a damn about
you. But there are also people who care, they care for the good in this world and the good that can be
found in us all. There is one thing in this world t
