Well here is the first blog post/discourse of 2015

It has been a great year, when I hear the sound of fireworks and shotguns at midnight on new years eve I couldn’t help but be overcome with emotion, emotion because I have lived another year and because I personally have made it this far, we have lost countless people in the past year and for each and every one of us to make it another one marks a beautiful renewal that touches each and every one of us even for just a millisecond when the clock strikes midnight

Many of us are slowly making our way in this structure to keep ourselves alive, well and healthy. But there are people that do not need to work so that they can live to survive. I have been taken care of relatively well the past decade and I am fortunate to be able to be a monk in real life and follow my spiritual pursuits out in the forest and after a decade of practice I can say that there is not one set methodology to enlightenment because it is different for each and every one of us, while I may be striving for wealth another may be striving to excel in magic or another as a pillar of their community while another just wants their family to be okay or another wants to excel in education.

So for any religion to teach a set path to absolute enlightenment would be an illusion, essentially a religion that can provide the path to a way of thinking proves to be the most just cause, and I have heard countless times that ALL RELIGION IS EVIL and just imagine hearing this when you call yourself a reverend, hahaha it makes you ashamed at that title. I think the issue with people saying all religion is pointless and not valid to current times, have simply said that out of ignorance because there is many many paths one can take, and heck if you can’t find the right one, then take pieces of it and form your own faith if this is what you think the world needs, for heaven’s sake don’t waste your life away in ignorance when there is thousands of Buddhist discourses waiting to be heard or millions of wiccan ebooks waiting to be studied or masters in meditation or reiki just waiting to teach !

Scientifically all religion may sound like an illusion per se, but you must ask yourself, where can I find the power to release myself from countless mindless rebirths, where can I ultimately place my trust to lead me to absolute and full enlightenment, and where can I spend decades practicing and not get bored.

For me, these questions found me in my early twenties, I was at a really difficult time in my life – I was facing 7 criminal charges including assault on another being with a weapon and I was addicted to various substances and living a karmically unfortunate existence where one day I was simply walking down a path in Vancouver and came across a discourse being taught by S.N. Goenka and that is how the enlightenment, Buddhism, and meditation found me.

I was finally able to unite with my soul, I was able to see that I was inflicting harm on others, and I also saw what I was doing to myself, and had the ability to see what would have happened should I have stayed on my path and there were two ends, prison or death.

So I faced everything head on and battled my demons and kept up with the practice and it found me when I needed it the most, now these days my meditation has evolved into a new level of meditation – of course a waking awareness type with no distracting thoughts which I find absolutely wonderful- only because I see people in real life so to speak that just race from one thought to another

And my meditation has evolved into directed and various different types I have invented or discovered and it is only unique to me, what I have discovered however I still laugh at the thought that if I won say $50,000,000 in the lottery –I think people would want to ‘understand’ my meditation technique lol

We need distractions yes to operate but when your whole life is set up with distractions what kind of life are you leading? You come home after ten hours at work –working for somebody else’s goals, turn on the television and watch another 4 or 5 hours of illuminated programming and go on the computer for an hour and then go to bed off to another dimension….where do you find YOU?

I have always thought that of course you need to zone out and give yourself a rest but at least give yourself an hour of meditation and then way later in the day another hour when you have forgotten about the first hour, then some affirmations then some books to help you on your path then you will be able to figure out your true path, why you are here and where you are going after

I definitely want to have control over where I go after this place, that is my #1 task

Happy New Year Blogbuddies

Have a good start to 2015

My Name Is "Meth"

I destroy homes, I tear families apart, 
take your children, and that's just the start. 
I'm more costly than diamonds, more precious than gold, 
The sorrow I bring is a sight to behold.

If you need me, remember I'm easily found,
I live all around you - in schools and in towns
I live with the rich; I live with the poor,
I live down the street, and maybe next door.

I'm made in a lab, but not like you think,
I can be made under the kitchen sink.
In your child's closet, and even in the woods,
If this scares you to death, well it certainly should.

I have many names, but there's one you know best,
I'm sure you've heard of me, my name is crystal meth.
My power is awesome; try me you'll see,
But if you do, you may never break free.

Just try me once and I might let you go,
But try me twice, and I'll own your soul.
When I possess you, you'll steal and you'll lie,
You do what you have to -- just to get high.

The crimes you'll commit for my narcotic charms
Will be worth the pleasure you'll feel in your arms, your lungs your nose.
You'll lie to your mother; you'll steal from your dad,
When you see their tears, you should feel sad.

But you'll forget your morals and how you were raised,
I'll be your conscience, I'll teach you my ways.
I take kids from parents, and parents from kids,
I turn people from God, and separate friends.

I'll take everything from you, your looks and your pride,
I'll be with you always -- right by your side.
You'll give up everything - your family, your home,
Your friends, your money, then you'll be alone.

I'll take and take, till you have nothing more to give,
When I'm finished with you, you'll be lucky to live.
If you try me be warned - this is no game,
If given the chance, I'll drive you insane.

I'll ravish your body, I'll control your mind,
I'll own you completely, your soul will be mine.
The nightmares I'll give you while lying in bed,
The voices you'll hear, from inside your head.

The sweats, the shakes, the visions you'll see,
I want you to know, these are all gifts from me.
But then it's too late, and you'll know in your heart,
That you are mine, and we shall not part.

You'll regret that you tried me, they always do,
But you came to me, not I to you.
You knew this would happen, many times you were told,
But you challenged my power, and chose to be bold.

You could have said no, and just walked away,
If you could live that day over, now what would you say?
I'll be your master, you will be my slave,
I'll even go with you, when you go to your grave.

Now that you have met me, what will you do?
Will you try me or not? It's all up to you.
I can bring you more misery than words can tell,
Come take my hand, let me lead you to hell.
