I am usually up for writing, it's just that I hardly have anything to say, haha! I think I remember once telling the H of many names that I just don't like words very much, because they take time, and it can be difficult to express. I make exceptions for this forum when I feel an "inspiration," with respect to those who choose to go down rabbit holes like you and H. You are probably some of the few who might understand my kind of madness, and vice-versa. Or at the least, I see us as speaking different languages, but with very similar words, if that makes sense
No, I have not read any more by David Icke, but I believe that I have at least one book somewhere around here that I intend to get to. I know that after that, I will watch one of his lectures on youtube that would be him speaking around the time that the book was written. After watching that lecture, I will then move on to his 2 most recent books that he's written. So I am falling quite behind on his research, and do not know what else he has discovered, though I look forward to the day when I can get back to that. But that will have to wait as I am trying to pursue a few other goals at the moment and they require a lot of my time. Additionally, I must keep up with leisure time, lest I loose more of my sanity. Thinking of leisure, I really do miss the whywork site. I am glad that this forum exists, so I can still hold onto those thoughts here. The concept of wage-slavery comes back to me sort of like the ghost of an ideal, but it is still being pursued by me.
I cherish you as well Holden. I have not forgotten how much you and H have helped me with your words when I was expressing myself as one who needed to be loved by someone else. This was a confusing time and you both gave me strength that no one else could. Ironically, my newfound fearlessness ended up getting me into a crazy situation with another one, which involved long distance travel and living with someone I'd never met. That thankfully ended very quickly, though, and I learned a great deal about myself from the experience. And the next time I saw a similar situation attempt to happen, I stopped it in its tracks. I know this may sound somewhat vague, but it's the image I care more about than the words. And this image is of me being offered a second portion of a meal, while I then put my hands out in a "stop" position, to say, "I have had my share, and no longer wish to take part in this." This has revealed to me much growth that is difficult to put into words, but I am grateful.
This talk of magnets. It makes me think of that law of attraction. What you believe, you attract, is the phrase I think they say. You know, one day, many years ago, I was asked by a friend if I had heard about this newly discovered law being talked about. I had not looked into it, but after it was explained, my response was something along the lines of, "Oh, so the general public is starting to catch on to this thing called sorcery, huh?" I think they still have a long ways to go. I do not believe that we attract what we believe. I believe that we attract what we fear. And there is more to it, but that is a big portion of magnetism, as I understand it.
Well Holden, I can see how you might feel on your own, but at the end of the day, I cannot state that completely, for I still believe in a power that is, to put it succinctly, God. Now that may be where you and I disagree, but like many things in life, that is fine and makes little difference in our individual worlds. We can all look at the same painting with different eyes, each drawing different conclusions about the purpose or meaning, and if there was even one at all. And yes, the world can be disgusting, but it can also be quite beautiful, and it is as we make it.
Look at this: Humans are ignorant and always making foolish mistakes. They are selfish and if left to their own devices, can even kill themselves without trying.
Now in the above stated, replace the word humans with babies. As far as spiritual evolution, this is what we are. Babies. Will you condemn the baby for idiocy? This is very difficult to see in humanity on a continual basis. Misanthropy is so easily invited when all we have to do is look around and see hate that this world breeds...
This has been a sobering thought and I realize that I may have gone off on a tangent there. I suppose this happens, sometimes, when I write. Well, I will say that I wish you good luck and good fortune, Holden!
