reminder for myself.

recognize thought as thought.
don't take it seriously.
ending of thought,
no thought,
old thoughts,
new thoughts.
"yes, but this is how it is"
it's not how it is,
it's just a thought about it,
one of many many possible perspectives.
tiny perspectives.
this one is true,
and another one is also true.
one thought can not hold an entire truth.
the creep is also a saint,
maybe it hasn't been seen,
but it's there.
some silly thought
is just a thought.

inspired by the power of now.

alone

based on the teaching that: suffering does not arise from loneliness but from fear of loneliness.

I am alone is a fact.
I am lonely is a story.
feeling of lack.
what will the world do to me?
what will the world think of me?
monstrous figure in my dreams,
when I run away from it.
but face it completely,
and a shift happens.
you go beyond,
let the scenery change.

easier said than done, I know, but I wanted to put this out there. if we have something ahead to shoot for, we might be less preocupied with the current life situation.

To go back there...

Few drinks to slow down the mind.
Certain drugs to free you.
Moments of sex to slow it some more.
Some hours of tv.
To numb the mind
…
And the mind is back.
Where am I now:
Pre-thought,
below thought,
like a plant,
or an animal,
in harmony.
…
We all do it,
But this is not a human’s path.


I have very abrupt endings I know.
Inspired by "the power of Now"

Embracing...

Sartre said: Hell is other poeple... (les outre)

The ego believes this phrase.
Hell is other people more often than not.
Even people who give you heaven, give you hell after sometime.
Our expectations can not be fullfilled.
So, what to do... as always ... we find out we can't rely on other people, so we are frustrated. Some people reach despair, thinking it's all so pointless. then you reach the state of sarcasm and bitterness and resentment. Life hasn't played its part. this deep belief of the world is preventing me from being myself, sets in. You believe Everyone is an obsticle to being myself.
Absurd. Absurd. Absurd.
Some will weep and wail until the very end. please let there be a different way.

the lesson: there is an undestructible part of us. no matter the mess we have made of our life. The undestructible part of us, is not touched by any of the mess. The original essence is there. It can be discovered. Some call it grace, the redeeming factor of life. some get there from suffering and some get there from teachings such as this one.
There is so much pain to come out first. I hope to not run out of time.

Inspired by "the Power of Now".

Lost in one dimension: thought

this rusty attempt at a poem is inspired by reading "the Power of now".


me me me,
defending me,
completing me,
continuous seeking,
continuous conflict.
obessed by things,
filled up with things,
posessed by things,
in the grip of thoughts.
my attention is needed,
things need to be dealt with,
but deal with one thing here,
three more pop up there.
not alone for long,
not relaxed for long,
succesful one day,
miserable the next.

Pyetsori, koh na mori.

The Power of Now.

I really want to make you aware of this Audio book called "the Power of Now". I bought the book a couple of years ago, but only read a bit of it, and forgot about it. I am now listening to the Audio version of the book, and it's been a positive overwhelming experience. You'll listen to the author, who is a spiritual teacher, and the information given is amazing.

Listen to it wherever you can, and let the powerful meaning of the message work inside you.

This book is an introduction, to spiritual realization, that at least it's important to be aware of.

This book goes into every corner of every aspect of life, and grabs you and turns your world upside down, just the right amount.

This book has been for me like meeting the most talented psychic out there, who knows everything about you, and tells your entire future to you, and the news is good. :)

We all read many books, and most books only give you a little, which we don't mind taking, as we are used to taking things in small dosage. Well this book gives you a big dosage.

I hope you take it.

"the most essential kind of knowledge is not yet widely accessible"

an open letter of appology

I found this while reading a book about emotions. I thought it was a good exercise.

Dear Me,

Over the years, I have resented you for not being athletic enough, brave enough, funny enough, smart enough, talented enough, handsome enough, rich enough, admired enough, educated enough, New York enough, out-going enough, quiet enough, old enough, young enough, loving enough and loved enough. I have demanded perfection from you and have found you wanting. The result of this obsession with perfection has been to make you terrified of failure and riducule, angry at any and all obsticles, and finally, incapable of enjoying the bounty that was not only around you, but within you as well. Well, all that's about to change. From now on, I'm going to make every effort to love and accept you as you are. But since bad habits die hard, I'll start with something easy. From now on, you're old enough.

Affectionately,
Me
:)))))

Man on a bridge - joke

I was walking across a bridge one day, and I saw a man standing on the edge, about to jump. I ran over and said: "Stop. Don't do it."
"Why shouldn't I?" he asked.
"Well, there's so much to live for!"
"Like what?"
"Are you religious?
"He said, "Yes.
I said, "Me too. Are you Christian or Buddhist?"
"Christian."
"Me too. Are you Catholic or Protestant?"
"Protestant."
"Me too. Are you Episcopalian or Baptist?"
"Baptist."
"Wow. Me too. Are you Baptist Church of God or Baptist Church of the Lord?"
"Baptist Church of God."
"Me too. Are you original Baptist Church of God, or are you Reformed Baptist Church of God?"
"Reformed Baptist Church of God."
"Me too. Are you Reformed Baptist Church of God, Reformation of 1879, or Reformed Baptist Church of God, Reformation of 1915?"
He said: "Reformed Baptist Church of God, Reformation of 1915."
I said: "Die, heretic scum," and pushed him off.

Baby boy

You were born on August 16th at 5 am in Tirana. At 6 am I got a text message “Dear Bana, you are an Aunt”. You are named Gerd, like Gerd Myler the soccer player. Your mom and dad couldn’t decide on a name for you for a long time. Names were changing every week. Your mom liked Fjord, Kron, Dalin, Blini, I liked Viktor and Farris etc. Well, here we are dear Gerd. You were born 3.4 kilos, and your mom had to push you out for three hours. She was in a lot of pain, the natural way.

When I first saw your picture, you looked more like a girl, than a boy. Oh well, I’m allowed to say such things to your mom. She knows me well. I am tough on her, but I feel when others only call you “poor thing or, it must be tough” someone has to be the “bad guy” and poke you with a stick to do something.

In these first few days, you sleep a lot, and haven’t yet figured out how to latch on to your mom’s food. I hope only good things for you from here on out. Your mom says you’re a good quiet baby, (only fussing when you must), and very sensitive to any movement around you. I like that about you. Sensitive Gerd.

I can’t wait to see you and hug your small body, and make jokes with your mom, about any other traits you may have gotten from her. You and she are well loved by me.

Where is She?

Someone who means well, but is confused, asked me today how is she? I don’t know. I think she’s watching over me, but I don’t know. Where are you? I picture your new residence, but hopefully you are not there much. It’s not much of a place, even though it’s quiet, with trees and flowers. Hopefully you’re walking somewhere, talking to friends making jokes, and can see me. I know it’s important to you, to see me, to know what I’m doing, to see my surroundings. I hope you don’t see everything. I am embarrassed about some. I hope you’re not too shocked, and this is not an apology, I can not give you one now. I hope you heard my last one. Well I don’t know where you are, but I don’t mind believing you’re around.

Dude, where is my watch???

As you may have seen, President Bush got himself lost in the crowd in Fush Kruje... Someone noticed the fact that when he went into the crowd he had on a wrist watch. Then after the crowd kissed him, hugged him, and grabbed him, oh so lovingly, no more watch...

I just watched the video again in youtube, and yes, it is true.

Does this remind you of a joke about albanians.
When do you know you're in albania?
When you take your arm out the car window and your watch is stolen.

President Bush receives warmest welcome in Albania

Yes!!!!! This is the kind of media bullshit I like, for the benefit of my native country.
I feel content. Perfect.

IMMIGRATION BILL WITHDRAWN [FOR NOW]

sad sad day... democrats and Republicans can't come to an agreement. Leaving sarcasm aside, I don't know if they just got too tired of debating, or they need a fresh perspective to move forward. The needs of an immigrant are simple: to be able to go to school, fly to Florida on vacation, drive a car, get medical coverage, visit their families. Waiting years to get there, they will gladly pay a fine, go thru background checks and whatever else. Why is it so difficult to decide YES on this?
I guess keep on living illegally makes more sense, and so, more illegal things to come...

Our american government gives up on issues and sneaks out the back door.

We have a broken government .
We have a broken government.
We have a broken government.

en excerpt from Many Lives, Many Masters:

"... Wisdom is achieved very slowly. This is because intellectual knowledge , easily acquired, must be transformed into 'emotional' knowledge. Once transformed, the imprint is permanent. Behavioral practice is the necessary catalyst of this reaction. Without action, the concept will wither and fade. Theoretical knowledge without practical application is not enough ..."
