Tech, geek and all things neat.

So I’ve fallen off the wagon, a little bit. I try to do yoga everyday, stay positive and relaxed, but lately I’ve been nothing of the sort. The stress of everyday life is just getting to me. With my unemployed status that seems to be lasting a decade. Everything in my life seems to be slowly getting sucked into that same negative vibe. Like how a child gets sucked into daytime television, I’ve been sucked into depression. I also think that I’m starting to pull all my friends and family into it as well. I find that even they who are still employed and happy are starting to get the down feeling more frequently. I don’t know if its me that’s causing my friends and families depression but if it is that’s just more of an incentive for me to bust out of this funk.
So I’ve started to reread “the way of the peaceful warrior” which is just one of those books that really make you think and want to be better. Unlike allot of books on Buddhism which I find myself trying to just suck the knowledge out of instead of enjoying the book. The Way of the Peaceful Warrior is a book that I can relax on a Sunday afternoon and just absorb into. There’s a reason why it has lasted for so long and is still being published to this day.
Besides that, I smile for as long and as often as I can. Believe it or not but smiling makes you want to smile. It also makes other people want to smile which in return make you smile more! A beautiful scenario it is.
I stared to pay a little more attention to my diet. Eating junk food makes me sluggish and lazy. Being lazy makes me have more negative thoughts, and negative thoughts cause depression and more laziness.
So I believe, that with my few alterations in my diet and mental attitude I will become my healthy, joyous, energertic self one gain. Also with a little bit of help and positive thinking everything that I mean to achieve with be accomplished. Just can’t give up.

Enlightenment has nothing to do with other people, if you don’t want it to. It has everything to do with your inner self and your connection with the earth.
You don’t have to have unconditional love for absolutely every person that you come across, it doesn’t hurt if you can honestly do it, but you don’t need it. How close my soul is in touch with the earth is what I believe. The Gaia theory is a fine example of our connection with the earth. Everything is connected in one main stream of life, always rotating always shifting. Meditation, yoga, martial art practices are all form of helping us get back in touch the beat of life that flows through us and into the earth.
The earth has a rhythm that it works at. It speeds up and slows down but it stays at the same consistent tempo. This tempo is the same tempo that runs in our hearts, makes our steps to walk, our fingers to type, every movement for everyday activity. Cars, computers, stress, work , are unnatural. They’re actions that we created to suit our economy. Run different rhythms then nature intended.
Thats why these days people need more meditation, more focus to get back in touch with the earth. Each person is like a hair on an arm coexisting with each other through our roots in the arm. yet still completely independent interms of work and individuality. It helps a lot to get along with each other but its most important to be one with the earth and rhythm of Gaia.

Living in a larger city makes finding true happiness hard enough already. The human race isn’t meant to be surrounded by its own kind in mass amounts. Personal space, and comfort bubbles are constantly invaded without any effort. Making a leisure stroll down a street an irritating, frustrating expedition. Let alone having to deal with bad mannerisms.
Staring is never a necessary action for any scenario, and no body likes to be stared at. Not the homeless, not the rich, not the punks, or the indiscreet . As people strive for a better self everyone has to make the effort to also be a better civilian. Respecting others is a major step in respecting yourself and finding pure enlightenment. This not only means to not stare at others but to also not escalating instances when you get stared at (for what ever reason).
As the days pass everyone try to respect everyones personal space and remember to breath, stay calm and enjoy the fact that maybe your being starred at for a good reason, people show attraction in odd ways sometime. The cup is half full sometimes.

So I was going to write about the flying spaghetti monster, but I am afraid that is going to have to wait till tomorrow. I have much more important information to tell.
As allot of people think that they are searching for enlightenment, really all that they are searching for is happiness. To be happy doing whatever it is that you are doing that that moment would be everybody’s dream come true. Whether it be working or relaxing or making supper would being everything.
