Not so negative

Why be negative? Why contribute more negative energy to the universe than necessary? When you only contribute negative energy, you will only receive negative energy.

Today, Sunday, as I went about my errands, my mind was pleasantly blank. I walked 4 miles and spent nearly $100 on groceries and food with only the pleasant warmth of the sun and the cool invigorating pacific ocean breeze. I truly love to tell you that my home is San Francisco city. I am proud of my neighborhoods.

Anyway I want to talk about my love for seaweed. I absolutely love to eat seaweed! And wasabi has offered such an intoxicating sense of taaaaste ahh my mouth waters to think of it. But I ate a whole box of samoas so I wouldn’t think of putting anything else past my lips. It’s Monday. Not Sunday. I should sleep. Sigh. We spend 1/3 of our life sleeping. And apparently, another third of our life on the Internet. Seize the moment. And live in peace. How pure and wonderful to have an empty, a still, a peaceful mind. That is zen.

p.s Why why why should I have to poop on a toilet??? Isn’t it obvious that the best way to poop is in the squatting position? I suppose I could try to rest my feet on the toilet seat and balance myself above the toilet, but…yea. I guesss that’s my best solution. From now on, let us squat and shit.

spritual adviser

so I have been studying Hinduism for the past 4 weeks and at this point I am completely accepting to Eastern thought. In fact, I cannot see how Western thought can even BE when there is Eastern thought which is so much more advanced and wise. It is truly as if the East is more evolved than the West. In fact, it is true. I do so recommend James Redfield’s The Celestine Prophecy. It is beautifully true. Often times I find myself absorbing all of the energy around me. For the universe is continuous. True, someday I aspire to know Brahmin. Once you know Brahmin, you know everything and you desire nothing more. It is ultimate. Then, the soul is free. Rather, I think that I will be a forest-dweller as soon as it is possible. Since the age of… oh 15 I have been aboard the spiritual quest to enlightenment and to purity and knowing.

As of late I have experienced great physical pain. The physical pain amplified and called forth my mental pains. Today has been a great day of suffering. In fact, the mental suffering began Thursday, the day of my fast. I was enlightened on the inside, for I was fasting. My mind and body did not need food nor drink, and I reached an altered state of consciousness. I ate an evening meal however, as I always have. A last evening meal, the last ritual before a night’s rest after a long day. The day of a student is long and cruel. Going without food is the best choice, most often. The evening meal must be eliminated. It must be.

Finally, I reach the conclusion in that I should seek guidance from a spiritual adviser. Often times I think of Bare-Foot Brendan and today when he walked up the desk I intuited the sign and asked him if he has a spiritual adviser. He had offered to take me to see his spiritual adviser at the zen center. I do not know zen, perhaps it is a westernized form of Buddhism. The Buddha is a trustworthy fellow and I’d take his advice. Who know who else rules? Confucius. What a bro.
