Clouds of Mystery Surround the Golden Chalice

  Somewhere in the deep dark mysteries of the universe, lies the one true and only truth that surrounds all of us and makes us aware of our being. Perhaps this truth was already uncovered with my discovery, or perhaps this discovery leads us to worlds beyond the capacity of the imagination. It is the job of the entertainment industry, movies, television, and music to reach beyond the totality of what seems like existence, and bring ourselves to the foothold of the well beyond. Maybe it is a type of insanity that brings us closer to the edge of knowable existence. Or maybe it is sanity, plain and utter sanity to maintain our existence as a species.

  From what I know of politics, ideas such as these suffer the grounding of realism and thought provoking negligence. By negligence I mean negating what could be for what is actual reality. Yet there are some politicians out there who still maintain the outlook of the youthful and exuberant  They seem with cheery smiles and approach the future and the present with childish good humor, all the while recognizing that the giant machinery of the government holds partial weight of the entire world on it's shoulders. These are the politicians who's eyes are focused on what we are teaching the next generation of explorers, scientist, theorists  and teachers of tomorrow. For them I would wish to impart a lesson and a legacy of an uplifted spirit.

  When the tasks and turmoils of the day seem repetitive and obscure. When the harbingers of a new day bring calamity and destruction, or at least the presence of destruction. Do not forget that for the first time a young child is smelling a flower for the first time, or reaching into a body of water. Do not forget that for the first time a young girl is learning how to dance with her mother. Do not forget that the children of today, and the teachers of tomorrow still have dreams and passion inside that if not cared for correctly, can go astray to the lands of lasciviousness and apathy. It is these dreams of the children, and their inspiration, along with singing on the sidewalk, can boost your sails and unburden you from the weight of seemingly impossible trudgery. It is the dreams of the children and their children's dreams that keep this world spinning at a pace that science and humanity have not conquered as of yet. But there is still time.

What With All This Agony....

  Pain in life is sure to come? Or do we put ourselves into our own demented cycle of pain that rears it's ugly head when we do not reach perfection? Once I thought of life as all painful. Every creek or strain that I came upon was like the crashing down of thunder upon my head and I searched for a way to somehow extricate myself from anything that was disturbing.
  Today my life is relatively pain free, and I do not know if it is because my attitude changed or because I have some how met my life's goals and I am living in the relaxation that I am a fulfilled person. Yet to myself, I have not reached total perfection or total fulfillment. I enjoy the struggles of life today, but that may only be a silent reprieve for hell weather yet to come. I pray my life is pain free, but from the deepest struggles of my life have come some of my greatest accomplishments.
  To writ; life is good today, but that does not guarantee me the benefit of a pain free life for my whole existence. Only my attitude, wherewithal, and help from my loved ones will I be able to enjoy and thrive in my lifestyle and living. Today, I am one with the nature of giving and good that comes with being in the light of Hashem, and for that I am grateful.

Botched But Not Bothered

  Some would say that the transient force of energy that runs through human bodies can be manipulated and predetermined by the haphazard use of street drugs or by the manipulating minds of the scientific community. My first encounter with my own outwardly reaching force of my mind coupled with my body came because of my desire to use such force.  I was told by many men, that people did not live outside of their bodies and that such force did not exist. Yet I was determined to find the answer to the questions that plagued my mind and donned the over reaching forces of the movie complexes I frequented as a child.
  My first step in the direction of controlling outer entities with my inner desires was thrust upon my I believe by the United States Navy. I was in a depression at the University of Michigan not knowing where to go or what to do with my goals and desires. I was put on a anti depressant which alleviated some of my wayward thoughts. This medication too also changed my mind chemistry so that the voices I heard from a far seemed to have relevance to my particular situation no matter how far the voices were. I was intrigued at first, more determined to master the control of my thoughts than any thought or hope that they were to over take me. Once inside my brain, I realized these forces or thought patterns were able to be manipulated by the inner workings of my brain.
  The faint hope that these inner forces were able to be mastered belied my naivete with the concept in general. They are called "voices in my head" and are utilized by many in the mental health sector of society. The problem is, such forces are usually far beyond the scope and realm of adherence to any one particular individual's power to overcome them. I have been working thirteen years to control the "voices in my head" and now I have found particular reason to attempt to capitalize on my given power to overcome them.
