The REAL path

"being on your path" is total bs.

there is no path

ultimately cause there isn't a desitination

cause in essence, we aren't really going anywhere

I dunno man

habits, ideas, situations, roles, all the shit changes

It's kinda like a road with no ending

none of it is constant, or everlasting, or even significant

Like the neverending story, you're never gonna reach the "ultimate" goal

but you're still heading somewhere

Tyler said it well when he said "the end result is anti-climatic

That is so true

the process of change may be happening

but when the process is "complete" whats next?

is that supposed to be bring happiness?

its bs

this moment is the only moment

It brings a feeling of accomplishment

but that feeling is not something one should rely on to be happy

yeah, and that lasts about 4 times as long as an orgasm

lol

so people are chasing feelings then

haha but we all work sooo hard to get laid, don't we

on a journey to an emotion

I guess so

Its more like we're working hard to get the emotion that getting laid would bring. What it would mean about us

I work really hard to accomplish a lot of different stuff, but in the end I don't know WHY I do it, do I

for the emotion

It might be because deep down I think I'll be happier that way, social conditioning or whatever, or simply because I want to

I agree, we do everything to feel better or just different

In truth, down to the depths of every human's being, we don't want anything but what the mind claims to desire. The body cannot tell the difference between what it sees objectively and what is imagined

That is true

So, really, if we simply had our food, shelter and family to protect each other

we should be perfectly happy

just keeping the harmony

THAT should be every human's 'purpose' if the purpose is to thrive

For some reason we always seem to want "more"

yeah, thats why people are so fucked up

Yeah, but I think there's different layers of "fucked up" if you know what I mean. On one hand you have the guy that wants more just because that's what he's learned

He fully believes that if he can only get this or that done, he will finally be happe

happy

if you think about it, what if all these ideas of power and prestige, importance or significance.. what if all that were erased. What if people didn't strive for stimulation like sex or drugs, or do nice things to feel good... What if they did what must be done to keep the harmony, despite of how it feels... this would would be a different place

Do you think it would be a better place?

hell yea

thats the essnes of doing what you want other to do for you

thats the essence of honor, valor, sacrifice..etc

courage

these are things that seem to be so far fetched

to me at least

I agree, but I just don't think we work that way, unfortunatly

well, we could.

I'm sure there are times when people have, at some place in some time

I mean, I would like to say that I'd sacrifice myself for something, but I probably wouldn't do that tbh

depends what for

and why

like

if you realized, to your core

a truth

something that is solid

and it would set people free

or bring justice

and it permeated through every fiber of your being

you'd find no other option

but to do what you don't want to do

and I'm not talking about a belief that was handed to you

or something that was taught

but like, say jesus were really just a man. Not a god of any kind.

Obviously never been in that situation, but I don't think I would ever do anything that would end my life

yea

but like, say Jesus really was just some dude. He realized a cancer the the human psyche and tried to share it with everyone

I think that some people would meditate on that

and some would find no other choice

no other 'path'

but to spend their days telling people about it, trying to free them

or help them

and its not what people are into today

there's not self help invovled here

I've seen a lot of people finding what they claim to be the "truth" and try to shove it down other peoples throat

Not saying that's what jesus or buddah or anyone did

mhm

I just don't think there's any devine or great "truth" behind everything

yeah me neither

I do sort of believe in god though

but I do see something that would scare the fuck out of most people. And its nothingness lol

the great divnity people seek is actually a grand nothingness. Thats what I see

and its hard not to see

it doesn't need to be taught

its more like the destruction of self, to the point of being "an empty vessle"

but thats just what I see

Can't say I really understand what you mean

yea

the funny thing is

where do you see it?

its not something to learn

try this

just for kicks

if you want to

like instead of a divine power, do you see just nothing?

Bruce Lee saw it

sure

Its the essenece of what Buddha talked about

its exactly what the Tao te Ching describes

but the starting place is realizing there is no you.. in real life, in this moment

toy with that, and try to distinguish what your seeing what is thought

7:15pm

hm

that's an interesting thought

but it's getting way to late for me to dwell on deep shit like that
