LOVE YOURSELF.

        everyday as we rise in the morning we face a choice, we set our intentions for the day. and with these subtle decisions we create the course of our future, and what a heavy responsibility that is to have a hand in ones own fate. we may not've of know when we were young the power that truly resides within us. back then we had to be the victims of undesirable repercussions. had we only considered our actions with more scrutiny, but no we were to late; we've been scorned, yelled at & punished all because we didn't think twice, which unwittingly was the choice we made. but ahh there's no greater teacher than experience itself. I didn't know it then but the path I was on and choices I would soon make would have a dramatic effect on the outcome of my life
.
        during the course of my life I have made many  choices, for example when I was about twelve it was revealed to me that the trials I were to face in the coming years could only make me stronger, that all good things take time, and that everything happens for a reason. it was my choice to believe such thoughts and in doing so I have become the optimistic guy I am today. it was when I reached fourteen I learned the power of these certain agreements, I began to see how many of us with our dubious mindsets have fallen into a pit of deception despair & imitation. Much like the one I've sprung from. it seems to me, an apparent truth that all great minds stem from a place of great suffering, and sorrow. however it is from this place I was able to flourish. I reached a point where I started to challenged every thought that was a hindrance to my happiness. I've worked so hard to fill a gaping hole in my heart with the only genuine love I could find. My own, a love that came in abundance. this wasn't easily done, but after I've made the decision to love myself it became progressively easier. I let go of pointless thoughts I began to focus more on the nurturing of my own mind, body & soul. In turn I've learnt how to love myself.  Now this decision alone has drastically changed my life.

       Choosing to love yourself is the single most important decision you could make in your entire life. a wise man once said you don't have to be accepted to accept yourself. Don't worry what other people think. some people go there entire career with out learning to respect themselves. & that's why they cant respect others these are the oppressors of the world, we must fight back with love, unconditional love, les unleash the power of love into our lives, into our family, its infinite, free to share, after all we are alive! and to be alive is to know love... all of life binds together, survival is assured as long as that remains true, we must not forget the connection we have with mother nature & all that she has given to us, only by respecting all of earths living creatures could we ever repay her. love is what binds us all together, its what makes life worth living. So trust me its worth loving yourself, your worth it, never give up, Our work is  not done we must till we land rid it of its weeds so that a garden may flourish.

Emersons Self Reliance.

Something ive learned when analyzing Emeresons letter on Self Reliance is that all humans on earth  have the ability to be creators. emerson goes on to refer to every man as his own star, meaning that each & everyone of us have a devine connection to our higher self. We should leave behind our preconcepions & all things conventional. He also states that children are true geniuses simply because the are not held back by there own lack of faith, kids they're fearless they dare to dream. Emerson believes men are ashamed of the devine idea that they represent, that men only but half express themeslves. Emersons idea of a truly formidable man is one that is unique.

quote from Self Reliance.

"God will not have his work made manifest by cowards. A man is relieved and gay when he has put his heart into his work and done his best; but what he has said or done otherwise, shall give him no peace. It is a deliverance which does not deliver. In the attempt his genius deserts him; no muse befriends; no invention, no hope" -Ralph Waldo Emerson.
I couldnt agree more with his words, this quote reflects emersons and howd hed always do his best,.. what soever you heart desires to do do it with all thy might.

The Pedestrian

I think the inciting incident  in this story happens when Lenard Meed encounters an AI self driving cop car, & is then taken away, off the streets pass his house, & into the unknown..

Respect my Authoritah!

Ever since the beginning of my student career, I have considered some authority figures to be overly opressive. people who tried to teach me what to think not how to think. I grew tierd of the instruction & tedious work, & so I resisted, I talked back, I did whatever I could to make the class interesting again! until one day i read a book called the Voice of Knowledge, authored by Don Miguel Ruiz that book made me realize the power that came with a silent spirit & an atentive ear. From then on I decided to listen whenever some one was speaking, I didnt want to miss a thing. the more & more I practiced I was able to awaken to the fact that people mean more than what they say, that its imparative we exercise the right to our opinion as long as we respect others opinions aswell ,. I do not believe in blindly obiding by the rules of others only unless it is necessary. I think its dangerous when society as a whole is rewarded based on how obedient we are. Trust me we can be so much more, find your own path blaze your own trail. but always, always listen, life requires the upmost attention.

the pedestrian

 When reading this story The Pedestrianby Ray Bradbury i was verry captivated by the authors use of syntax, & how he sets up the story is simply genius.

Fame is Not the Answer

   
        This video of celebrities testifying of the horrors of being rich & famous really dpicts a rather harsh reality, & acknowledges the falicies of fame, its unfortunate that the society we grew up in puts imense value on fame & wealth goals attributed with "success"... we have been led to believe that when we atain these things we can finally be happy, but it is this verry disillusion that causes us to focus on self projection rather than on the reflection; this in the long run can have some rather considerable ramifications.

My Aries

I think my grade for American literature is okay i could be better though. I really have to focus on spending my time better.

A Big "What If"

 What if i told you, i am you. You'd probably respond  to me, "but i am me how could you be me!? you are you".. but now. Verry carefully i want you to consider this: "I" (the self) & "you" (other) are the same thing. We are like opposite poles: North & South, & although we don't intersect, we make up the same magnet. had there not been other there would be no self they are dependent of eachother.. & so just pretend as though that the person sitting next to you is you & now pretend this is possible because time does not exist, & life is an infinate constant. Now if this is true if i am you & you are me than that must mean everything we do has an inward & outward effect on us. everytime I was victimizing someone  i was victimizing myself, every act of kindness i've done was done to myself, & every happy or sad moment has been or will be experienced by me. This is possibly because we are, solely & individually "life" in its entirty, devided into portions, by what we call death. yes at this point youre alive but life is mearly an assortment of probabilities unraveled into perception, & reality. The nature of life is to experience the outcome of these probabilities, & this is an ongoing process.. the goal? to mature, to realize that we are all one. Then only then may we asscend into a new dimension one of peace & joy. In this place love is the essence of life & light is the source of it power, you see it is we (our conscious minds) that is the light, in all its brilliance, may we never forget.

My Many Question & Some Commentary

 Probably the greatest thing about being a human is that we've  humans adapted to survive nearly anything.. but my question is why cant we adapt to the sun.. or even gravity  why do we surcome to chronic illness & disease. Seriously are we even from this planet? Im m curious, did we originate from mars? Im aware it sounds far fetched. But somwhere lies the truth & there are thousands of probabilities its even possible that everything we perceived is nothing but a complex virtual reality system a litteral matrix, We could be one bit on a hardrive of infinite memory & sadly we may never know. But in a way thats the fun of asking questions you get to be creative with things, theres no limit to what are minds can do.. Just ask carefully otherwise you end up like me questioning reality, questioning weather or not life has any significance. If you find yourself here remember that it does we are significant & ive found that a way to connect to that, is by approaching those close to you with absolute honest & humble love. A love that requires you to leave your quarrels behind & forgive the day. For its that love that attaches us to something bigger than we are. . Remember that wether or not we originated from here or elsewhere, as humans we've grown to thrive on one & other. We have lernt from each other & bonded together. We are naturally inclined to love. Theres is an infinite amount of love within ourselves so why not draw upon that heavenly well & pour a little life into someones cup, wether it be empty or if it be full. & may your cup overflow with tears of  joy & love. . 

My Big Question

My big question or perhaps the most difficult problem i percieve is the unhealthy economic inequity around the world. Why do people today starve to death when nearly 3 in 4 men in america are overweight or obiese. If the worlds wealthiest people could end world hunger eight times over why dont they? why hasnt there been any change in our process of wealth distribution? America has nearly the largest military spending budget but verry little of their, supposedly limited funds go twords hunger relief. These are some outraging questions yes i know. we need to recognize what kind of im impact this will have on earths future generations.

While reading the myth "Earth on the Turtles back" I found it verry interesting, the creativity that is expressed purley & ruthlessly. I love how even at a primitive time like this us humans, natives were looking for a way to understand the world. the creators of this myth demonstrated there intuition in a way that honored they're culture.
Personally i grew up listening to stories like this, i was born an Apache indian & my mom kept me rich in our  ancestors culture. I would dance in pow-wows fully dressed in native regalia. Feathered beaded & all, even won 1st prize once as a western style dancer. & although these are things of the past. They make up a big part of who i am today...
