[...] Along with the toothpaste we desired other qualities of life. Some are even starting to fall into place. In the past couple years I have kept my cosmic expectations fairly low. I do this for practical reasons. I know what I want, I know what my priorities are, and I plan to live a long life so there is no rush. This has helped my general happiness too, as described in my previous post. [...]

You’re right, ADR in many ways. But I’d add in a sixth: “Don’t allow yourself to ever give up.” Too much doubt comes from giving in, and giving up early. If you really want to accomplish something, you have to set more than just your heart on it: you have to get your mind in the right mode of thought that’ll keep you pushing for it even if your heart is swayed by changing circumstances.

That I feel would also lead to happiness.

I’ll watch you stumble and fall, and be there to help you out if you need someone to root you on.

“Technological Prodigy” It suits you. But man, seriously, you’re not a child anymore. Recognize yourself as a man, or at least a young man with a really good technical gift.

“Sort of like an online journal of me and my thoughts in this new era of existence.” That sounds badass if you ask me. Grandiose, but awesome none-the-less. So do it! Do it now! Get to the typa!

When you get the time.

The idea’s expressed in this post are to be considered from a “post-creation” perspective. At this point I am not considering how we got here or what allows us to have enlightened thoughts and ideas. I am primary concerned with the fact that we are all here on this mortal coil and we are capable of these things. We, as a human race, have a responsibility to do something good and worthwhile with that existence.

Some people will find the guidance and ability to live such an existence through one religion or another. Good for them; I applaud their rise to a higher mental and spiritual level. Others still will live an unenlightened and maybe even destructive life via their chosen religion. Even more people (such as myself) will find a way to live an enlightened and self-aware lifestyle while still doing good for the world without prescribing to any sort of specific religious following. My overall belief relating to what I talk about in this post is that the ability to live an enlightened life style is separate from religion, and the ongoing debate of who or what has given us the ability to have life and debates is beyond the necessary scope of such a life.

In this post I used the “American way” as an example but it is by no means only an “American thing.” Each and every culture has its own way of doing things and the people of that culture are all impacted by it. That is in-fact the definition of a culture. It is not a bad thing but is simply something a self-aware people has to be aware of. Not only aware of how they are being affected but of what alternatives there are and what is truly their best course for their life.

I have been meaning to post more often. I even have some posts half-written. I guess the verbosity of this comment is a sign that I am in a good state of mind to finish them. We’ll see.

So very interesting and attention drawing is your post! Yes, very thought provoking and you ended it will such elegance …bringing the reader into self-awareness and importance…drawing the reader into becoming more a part of your posts by telling them that they ARE worthy. Nicely done cousin!

I think I’m going to become a follower! RSS feeding it!

In actual response to your post though, I question what your thoughts are in there being an actual God who created you and I to think? I mean, what are your thoughts to where we actually came to be curious thinkers? The Big Bang that randomly created inteligence? I’m not saying what I believe either way (although you know my background). But, I am honestly curious about your thoughts on this as I don’t feel I would know what you’d have to say?

You made a very powerful point in suggesting that the majority of people find importance in money, sex and food which I absolutely agree with! It’s the American way…which, do you believe our culture is an actual cult itself? Some people may think that by the way the American culture tends to mold a persons desires, beliefs, and morality, that it’s become cult-like?

You have englightened me Andrew…really made me think this morning, thank you for your insightfulness and I’m curious as to your responses. oh, and this is the first time I’ve vistited your site! Nice work!

its not that we are afraid or even uncertain about moving on with life. it is just that there is a sequence to this whole existence that somehow has been accepted as the universal order of things. how this has happened, is another debate.

scifi and fantasy writers throughout history have postulated several alternatives that would be preferable.

everyone has to grow up sometime. you will too. and eventually you’ll move out of your parents house and discover that being on your own isn’t so terrible after all.
