Society has obviously messed people’s heads up pretty badly. I’ve noticed lately that people seem to treat suggestions of personal improvement and mindful living like it’s some new kind of mind control. They rail against people telling them how to elevate themselves and berate those people for trying to take…
Why Do People Resist Living a Better Life?
I have been trying to do my part to help myself, others and make the world a better place for quite a while now. Through my own personal experiences and my observations of others and reading, I’ve seen that a large portion of people have a tremendous resistance to living…
Society’s Teaching You to Live a Lowered Life
In my last article I talked about living an elevated life and how society is interfering with that. As much as people resist this truth, it is true that the government and media, and under their influence society, are teaching the people of the world to live a lowered life.…
What Are We All Here For?
“What are we here for?” Is probably one of the oldest questions of humanity. There are many different beliefs about the purpose of human life. I have my own beliefs in regards to the purpose of our brief human lives. I believe that regardless of race, religion, gender or any…

I Don’t Want to Be a Conformist
I was reading someone’s post recently and they said that they hate being called “unique” They said that all they want in life is to fit in and be “normal”, they don’t want to stand out or be unusual in any way. I couldn’t help thinking how incredibly sad that…
Do You Have a Creative Outlet for Your Feelings?
I’ve been talking quite a bit lately about poetry and how writing helped me get through some of the really hard times in my life. I know that poetry can be that way for a lot of people. It’s a great way to just let the pain and hurt…
Walking the Talk, Hypocrites and Mistakes
Most of us hate a hypocrite. I know I do. That’s why I try to walk the talk as best I can. I’m not always successful, but then again, neither is anyone else. Even the best of the best, even the saints and gurus and holy leaders of the world…
Give Yourself Some Credit, You CAN Do Things
I wonder sometimes why it is that people just refuse to accept the possibility that they can do things. Looking back at myself, the only reason I can come up with is laziness and lack of faith in oneself. So many people say “I can’t __blah__ because…” and the excuses…
You Need to Unplug, Even if It’s Scary
I realize that my last post may have been the kind of thing that will make people want to dig deeper into the matrix, like a tick on a dog. But you can’t. You have to break free. Yeah, it’s scary and has risks, but it’s what people need to…
Waking Up and Unplugging From the Matrix
At the end of my last post I mentioned the fact that there seem to be so few people in the world who are “awake”. That’s what I, and some others call it. It’s when you realize what’s happening in the world and you go from being a mindless consumer…

Eric and I were coming back from getting sushi today and something funny happend. Me: “When we do the steak, I want you to help me learn to cook it right. I really need to learn to focus more in the kitchen and in… Ooh look! Horses!” Eric: “Yeah honey,…
Please Stop Beating That Poor Dead Horse
It annoys the living dogsnot out of me to watch people bickering over the same things again and again and again. They’re not just beating the dead horse, they’re pulverizing it into the ground, digging up the slush, and beating it again. And why do people keep bringing up the…
Sometimes Personal Growth and Social Responsibility Hurt
A comment on my recent article about WalMart got me to thinking. People often refuse to change because it might suck for a little while. That seems like a pretty lame excuse to me, and one that people need to let go of. I long ago realized that becoming a…
