On what to do.....

[Yodhe]

I often think and contemplate on what to do after I have become enlightened.

The best advise I can give, the most real practical advice....

Is live as the eschaton/singularity happened when you woke up.

We've really made it, and we are helping make for everyone else (if that is
what you are into). I think the important thing is to enjoy it, smile and do what
you can, as it is more than enough.

We really are gOd, the living embodiment of all that jazz, you don't need to
do anything, other than be it. Which thankfully we all are, and learning how to
be, cause they don't teach any of this stuff in school.

Of course there is always something new to do, something to dance with,
but don't you forget when you realise we are all there, and literally treat
every person and situation in this context, you are a part of the tale of the tribe.

So the next time you forget, take a breath, and let it all out, and remember you
are an important unique person who is changing the world, heaven/paradise is a real place, and it is all around you, you just need to open your eyes.

I'll admit that oftentimes I'm jealous of those who are still asleep. As most of us are aware, it is difficult to wake up in the morning and drag yourself to work -- especially when you've got a beautiful girl, half naked, still sleeping next to you. The challenge comes from a choice to lay back down or get on with earning your paycheck.

Unfortunately, when you open your eyes wider than the television screen, you no longer have the option to simply close them; the blood of the Natives, the cries of the planet, the poisons we feed our children still persist. To speak of them is to be ostracized by your peers, forcing the Awakened into a state of bi-polar madness.

I've lost a lot of friends to the jail cells and loony bins because of their "Awakening." Like I said, I'm jealous of the sleepers, and wish I could lay back down, next to that beautiful naked girl, and forget it ever happened.

Ignorance is a form of bliss or so "they" say!!!

What gives me hope is that there is people like you, who appreciate what I am trying to elucidate, that there is
a philosophy of life that isn't merely cerebral.
We have all lost "friends" to what I call the "war on consciousness", but they are never forgotten they are remembered
in all our thoughts and actions, even the ones we never had a chance to meet. I've had a disturbing record of
people going sane around me, but like politics, just because they might have linguistic problems in talking about
their experiences, I don't dismiss them out of hand. In every person there is a human being wishing to get out!
Don't dismiss earnng your paycheck, as part of "the great work" either, there is something utterly noble and praiseworthy in that activity. Although I am so disenfranchised that I am unable to work, it seems for quite nonchalant reasons, pouring my attention on "these" issues and conversations seem to be one of the productive things I can be doing at the moment, if not I suspect, the most productive thing; tending and nuturing our collective thoughts, and disseminating my programmed BS from what is really going on.
And never forget that beautiful girl is next to you because of who you are, and I suspect she wouldn't be there if you
weren't "awake/you", the universe seems to like to give us the things we need to do the "work". I suspect its like a conspiracy, pro-noia as my friends sometimes say.
Ourselves are also defined by how we act in the situation we find ourselves in, sometimes I wonder without the pain
and seemingly hardship in the world whether I would be myself (probably not, which is why I accept my poverty, and live off the charity of others, despite spending the last five+ years searching and trying alternatives). Although I think there are far more conducive and groovy programmes and habituations we could be co-opting to make things brighter, and more fun for all. Perhaps everything is okay, we are just trying to make it better in the best way we can (I suspect even Mr Bush and all the others we love to hate, follow similar paradigms, and it is getting to our humanity, and sharing it, that will show them how to perhaps be better people to one another.)
Be go(o)d to one another.
