TrueMe Love myself. Love myself. Let go. Love myself. 070315 ... unhinged the dalai_lama is coming to wisconsin in may.....the DALAI_LAMA is coming to wisconsin. i can't fucking wait 070316 ... Smiley where's that ? ! wow daddy laugher... he's so cool ! someone shrunk my slippers :-( 070316 ... ? i wonder what is his favorite modern music is. 070316 ... Mantra: Be. 070316 ... beulahry yum. 070316 ... somebody "Huh?" 070316 ... unhinged he's going to be visiting and teaching at the deer park buddhist center in oregon wisconsin for a couple days and then giving a 'public talk' at the university of wisconsin in madison. i can't wait. i'm so_psyched i haven't been this excited since the_mars_volta came to town. ha. 070316 ... fix merrrr... but they have guns there... real ones.. why don't they sell waterpistols instead? i don't like it, it scares me . why do the promote violence? will you be my friend? 070316 ... unhinged maybe the dalai_lama will rub off when he comes back 070316 ... smiley rub off? what do you mean? it's my dream to meet him. i love him. 070317 ... unhinged i mean maybe the mere presence of this human incarnation of the buddha of compassion, chenrezig, will convince all the gun toting conservatives in southeastern wisconsin to lay down there guns and quit passing legislation that lets it be legal to carry concealed weapons. then maybe people will stop shooting each other on buses in milwaukee. then maybe delivery drivers for sub shops won't get shot to death for the cash in their pockets. then maybe university students won't get mugged by gunpoint on campus at 7am two blocks from my house. yeah, maybe the dalai_lama, this human incarnation of the buddha of compassion chenrezig, will rub off on some of the people around here. 070317 ... unhinged i bought my tickets i got my tickets aaahhhhh i'm going to see the dalai_lama 070321 ... f oh, i hope D.L. can make a difference... but i don't think it is so easy ... to get people to simply put their guns down... past conflict has caused pain... which creates anger which creates revenge... ... so it's like a repetative cycle... (catch 22) .. plus some people have aggression in their genes... ... maybe a part of being human. if we were all like the Dali Lama... the world would no doubt be a better place.. D.L. quotes .... "... I feel that although the aggressive side of our nature is part of life, the dominant force of life is human affection. This is why it is possible to strengthen that basic goodness which is our human nature ." he always turns things around into a positive light, this is the only real way to move forward... if we are always taking of the past.. the problems it has created today.. it is difficult to move forward. Most intellectual people want to express their knowledge and maybe try to solve problems in a way that often causes more confussion and sometimes more conflict... people start fighting over their opinions ... their beliefs.. but where is the argument about being compassionate and understanding towards one another ? so we are back to the beginning again... "the aggressve side of nature" ... i believe human beings are not developed enough ... to fully understand what compassion is, they want to pass 100 exams and read 100 books to find out. what is the fight about intellegence ? is it intellegent to make it legal for anyone to buy and own a gun ? 070409 ... u24 if I didn't know better, I'd almost say you sounded cynically sarcastic, unhinged. in fact, I don't know better. perhaps you are being cynically sarcastic... 070409 ... huh mmm... come to think of it... yeah.. it can read a bit like that... but you can perceive anything how you want to... let unhinged be cynically sarcastic... he/she has anger inside... probably wants to shoot everyone... huh ! 070409 ... u24 no I will not let unhinged be cynically sarcastic. I cannot allow that. 070409 ... unhinged no, i am quite sincere about my religious pursuit of compassion. i am very excited to be in the same place as the dalai lama. your quote of him affirms for me why i feel myself fully converted. if everyone thought like the dalai lama, it really would change the world. if his methods can rid me of my anger and self_hate, they are powerful indeed. 070409 ... unhinged (yeah, i really do wish it was as easy to convince people to stop hating just by a mere presence. but my rational mind knows the likelihood of my ideals ever coming true is nil.) but, i know these methods work. i know they have helped me find peace. 070409 ... unhinged the path is not one step 080408 ... hsg must_be_funny 080408 ... hsg LAUGH_the_one_step_program mustbefunny dot org/mfp2.htm 080408 ... daf I have mixed feelings on the subject of firearms. In my heart I know, that promoting forearms may give some folks the wrong idea. And I know that there are a VERY FEW unscrupulous individuals who would use the power of firearms to further selfish greedy goals. But I also know that 100% of unarmed populations have been exploited brutally by their governing bodies down through history. Armed citizens have faired slightly better..not much...but slightly. And I also believe very strongly that there is a basic decency within most of us, that stops us from abusing that power in such banal ways. I know that daily, we log 10s of millions of miles behind the wheel of 2000 pound death machines..and we do not use that power to kill each other. It is only the occasional deviant or distressed mind that finds the power an appealing way to force their will upon the world. (ie. ATM jackings, vengeful house collisions..etc.) I believe the same holds true for guns. However my heart longs for the day that we embrace our true nature..and put all weapons down. 080527 ... still life with woodpecker YUM 080527 ... unhinged the path is not one step indeed 091021 ... unhinged (but i think my steps have been taking me further down the right path) 091021 ... unhinged 'learn_to_love_yourself_first' self tonglen i AM a beautiful strong light in the world but i need to keep at least a little for myself i am my only protector look_out for the hidden dangers 100812 ... sig if someone don't look straight into your eyes, it means they are hiding something 100812 ... unhinged (and maybe what they are hiding is their deepest heart, their eyes like dirty_mirrors right to the center of how they feel, not ready to reveal or share) 100812 ... sig maybe if they are only 4 years old maybe they are not ready! then again maybe its that they don't want something they can't have? 100812 ... hello i like blue eyes if they are real and i like dark brown eyes if they are real too. 100812 ... hello just cos i catch your eyes it don't mean that i want to bonk you though! 100812 ... hello are you flirty by nature or is your willy needing a little attention?
