belief_in_transformation dafremen Why is it so hard for us to believe that within each of us there is something great and noble which seeks to guide us to a better way? Is it because we are surrounded by so much that is ugly and cold? Is it so very difficult to believe that what we we see now is the result of having listened since we were children to the world of mankind instead of to our hearts? Since the day we were born we've been surrounded by those who wanted something from us and the farther up we go through the ranks of power, the more is wanted. Small rulers rule small numbers, larger rulers rule larger numbers..and so the motivations of this false world are always to teach us that we must do as they do, do as we are told to. Unscrupulous people will always attempt to initiate witnesses to their unsavory ways into their crooked way of living, destroying or discrediting those who refuse to join them in their ignoble behavior. In this way, they can rest assured that there are no witnesses to their crimes against their own souls and against the very humanity that surrounds them. And so we are initiated as children into these tragic ways of being..ridiculed if we don't join up..locked away if we don't succumb. And what would it take for us to believe that we were right all along? To believe that there is goodness, beauty and truth within each of us and that our behavior is the key to creating better behavior in the world..to changing the world? What will it take for me to abandon my OWN unspoken oath to this band of thieves and liars called human society and do instead what is right...always? When will we embrace our true nature and become what we were always meant to be..transforming the world by transforming ourselves? 090326 ... unhinged on_contentment if i can learn how to look at the other side, anyone can. 090326 ... dafremen It's certainly a good start. 090326 ...

In_Bloom It's a year as of today and I'd like nothing more than to transform or at least lose all belief and memory of the particulars. I've said it of very few things but in retrospect, I'm safe with this one, I'll give it away, all memories if just to lose the hurt part. 090411 what's it to you? who go blather from
