To the ancient Chinese, Jade was a word parallel to emperor.
In all civilizations , dance is a symbol of the joys of life.
Beauty in chaos: "How is that possible?"You ask.
Life, in itself, is chaos. Everything around us is chaos. Life is so fragile, it's chaos to keep it. We live in a spiral, the spiral of Life. And chaos is what keeps the sprial going: chaos in the beginning, chaos in the middle, and chaos at the end. Chaos is the very essence of life, the root of life! Chaos in the frustration of the world, and chaos in the simplicity of the world.
The spirit of thought is a riddle that has plagued us for thousands of years. As well as the search for other intelligent life, the riddle of the beginning of life is another riddle we haven't yet solved. I often ask myself why was it us, out of all life that was destined to have brains. Why did Lady Luck bestow us with such a burden. To any of us, living a life of a monkey or snake is an easier life To lead than the hectic one we have now. Why should WE be chosen for such a prestigious task. Why aren't we relieved of this pain? Why should we try to find the higher level?
There is no other explanation that is (in my opinion) more suitable. Many people have tried to find the reason and meaning of life. The answer to that is simple too. But for us to understand life and the secrets of the universe, we must understand what I call the Jade Dance.
Read and extract what you will...
when you are against the wall you will
be sorry for the pain you caused me.
throughout my life I have learned
there is nothing more important
than your freedom to think.
people may strip you of your
dignity of take away your legal
rights but no one no matter
how powerful can take away
your power to think. one of
the most important speculations
I have made so far in my admittedly
short life is due to artificial
stimuli and distractions people
don't bother to sit down and think
anymore (not like they have done
for quite awhile) if people
thought for at least three hours a
day most of the problems existent
in this world wouldn't have a chance
to exist. if the human race took a
chance to reach into their
mind and extract a piece of unfiltered
thought from ones brain once
a day everyone would literally solve
all their problems instantly.
That is why we should read between the lines. and instead of thinking about what the text is, we should not think about what it can be, or what it's potential is, rather we should look at some thing and think about what it SHOULD be. and instead of taking things like nature for granted we should cherish our natural gifts because soon they will be dominated by our artificial society.
So instead of choosing to go to a movie tonight or to go out to eat, go to a local park or your gar- den , sit and bask in the moonlight and reflect. it doesn't have to be about your family or what comes to your mind first. just sit browsing through your thoughts extract one and expand upon it. who knows you might think of something big like invent something to solve an everyday problem or answer a question you asked your self before but could not answer.
Many philosophies have evolved in the history of the world and many have nourished the idea of expanding the mind though meditation or som3e other sort of deep thought. These philosophies will be the kind (like mine) that will hopefully bring human kind to another level of evolution.
If we compare ourselves to any other animals on our planet one should notice that we haven't evolved like other animals. Instead of evolving to improve mobility or hunting /predatory skills we have evolved in a philosophical /reasoning way. thinking crudely, we cant really say we are better than other animals because we have evolved well in a different way. for example if we compare ourselves to a wasp, they, have improved mobility greatly because they have aerodynamics and can fly a well as walking, a well as having a good defense mechanism. they and other insects have evolved a brilliant society system with a queen and workers etc.
We have evolved a little in mobility, but our greatest achievements are in thought and reasoning. over the decades we have developed music, philosophies text languages, electronics etc. we cannot say as much for our winged friend but we cant exactly FLY either. there fore it is hard to compare and judge ourselves onto and with other animals because admittedly, in some games THEY have the upper hand.
As I briefly mentioned earlier, in many philosophies humans have used thought or meditation to better followers of that philosophy. For example in Buddhism Buddhists use meditation and the teaching of Siddharta to reach "nirvana" or similarly in Christianity Christians use the prophecies and teachings of Jesus to reach "heaven". These higher levels in religion are a tool of humans everywhere because they give the followers of that religion "hope".
Raise your hearts to the streets for they are the cure. to believe how far the human race has evolved and improved in the history of its existnce we would have won an award if there was one. we are the only beings by this time that knows loyalty ,and all of the properties which makes us human. it is not only positive however For example, we have developed, vengence, hate, jealousy and revenge which have also uprooted us from our animal brothers.
We have betrayed our planet and our natural instincts for so long, it doesn't seem like we are animals too. we have evolved with too much pride. we have become the destructors and vandals of the planet which bore us.
Have we really develop loyalty and self preservation?
if so why are we contradicting ourselves
if not, why bother asking for a higher level of existence?
if we get to this higher level will we treat it the same as our present one?
after all this must be considered a higher level than being plankton or monkeys?!
In ancient times, shamans used tortoise shells for divination. They burnt them and used the cracks formed on the surface to find omens and prophecies from the spirits. For thousands of years , people have repeatedly stabbed at the same question, What are we living for? And over those years we have been sent by gods, been gods, been involved in a genetical mistake at the beginning of the planet. I am telling you now to deny the heretics, bishops, scientists, and prophets. I am asking you to deny your brainwashes, put aside your personal opinions, and reach into yourself.
I sum it up bluntly: God is a creation of man, and god has allowed man to engage in all his dreams; to kill without reason, to judge, not to be judged, to be worshipped, to be praised, and to be free of neglect in his 'paradise'. God has become an extension of the human soul a section which seeks after vain indulgences that this mortal world cannot support. God is immortal, with no beginning and no end, The ULTIMATE dream of man. Man, lusting for bliss and peace, generates their extension and promise themselves they will be rescued by themselves, they will be free.
Ask yourself honestly and without bias, Who am I ?
If you can answer this question you are way too confident. shut this page down as you will probably disagree with everything I say and already have.
If you cannot answer your self , and you are open to my philosophies
Please read this text. I think this will help you discover yourself.
Picture this :
A wonderful field with a few scattered trees around. Straight ahead of you is a rising hill. In the middle of the brow of thew hill is a path. Let your mind decide what the path looks like,. As you walk up this path, you notice you are not alone. Interact with this atmosphere. Take as long as you like interacting with things around you. You never know if you can answer some questions this way. When you are ready, continue up the hill. You notice that as you are walking up the hill you feel very content. You are content with your life and you regret nothing at this point. All your troubles from the outside world vanish with each new step to take in this welcoming environment. You are totally relaxed and happy, you feel like with each step upwards, you achieve one of your goals and you are proud of yourself. Just before you reach the end of the journey up the path, you notice the distinct scent of smoke. Whether this is from a fire or the burning of fragrant incense you do not yet know.Then, when you come to the rise of the hill, you see the top of the fire. Behind the fire is an old person dancing. You notice how the edges of a fire bend the light traveling past giving your image of the old man a vague one.
Then you reach the flat grassy area on the top of this hill. As you circle around the fire to greet the old person, a strong feeling takes over you. You feel overwhelmingly welcome in the presence of this friend. As if you know this person personally, like you have known each other for many lifetimes without ever meeting. You feel completely comfortable as you sit near the person and join this friend in their meditation. You sense you are talking to this person although there never was any verbal communication. You feel as if this person has penetrated your soul and has made contact with you on a spiritual level.
Then as you open your eyes in unison you realise you have discovered the essence. This person took a part of their soul and put it into you so you could reach simplicity and realise why you are here. You slowly open your outstretched hand and wait until this person's gift has completely rested in your hand. Then you smile and walk away.
~ The dance takes over you ~
