Sometimes I get depressed and think about why we are here, with only momentum to carry me from one lovely moment to the next. Should this momentum cease, how will I find my way?

In the history of the universe, has this ever happened before? Is there ever, is it even possible, a point at which self-existence can cease? I have a sense that we can be unraveled, but can the core of what makes oneself alive be snuffed? Sometimes I feel it can be, but usually I chooses to doubt it.

We all know that life is precious. Life is in fact so, so, so precious, that everything that is alive is precious. And yet we human beings as a people continuously choose to ignore this. Is there ever a way to shock every human being at their core into either an unrecoverable degeneracy of utter psychopathy or love? Perhaps with some kinda consciousness bomb? Perhaps should one human being who is full of common sense consciously choose to completely and utterly commit suicide for all eternity, then everyone else would be shocked at their core into assessing their value of the process of life, consciously choosing between psychopathy and love. Is this thanatos capable enough to be able to threaten our sense of life as we know it?

Ask yourself this, Dear audience: 'Can my death have any impact upon the people who have impacted my own life?' If your answer is yes, then by all rights we should all be very concerned, anything else is insanity. And if your answer is no, then we need know no god, for life is truly valueless. To simultaneously meditate so deeply on both connection with everyone, and absolute psychopathy, would it have any impact upon the Jews, or the CIA, or any of the other capricious groups that consider human lives to be their tools - or are they spiritually so far outa touch that nothing can have any impact upon them. Is human life meaningless? You may find your answer in the eyes of a psychopath.

Moment to moment, in every situation, all we can do is find the little bit of love that avails itself with infinite patience, and sometimes only the habit of momentum carries us through.
Love is always the way

Oh Sitkaa,

If we only knew what awaits the bend in the path

Not in my blood should I take my bath.

To look beyond, how simple it would be

That awaits for you and me is mystery.

Should there be despair, and who should care

Not by chance or choice is the life we share.

So softly subtly sweet
Intensely innocent
The whisper, just a reminder in the back behind my memories,
Openly it comes, no speed-bumps, freely, no reservations, gently
And always just right, always the right timing, always the right perspective
And then a little lagniappe because it is joyful

I remember you, my love
What was once my all that is important
and has moved on to be my love anew
My broken heart longing for the sweet innocence that is not at all my fault

Over and over and over and over
I rediscover you
Love is always the way

My efforts in meditation are irregular. But recently I have been listening to Indian Classical music/instrumentals before my concentration exercises and found this helpful. In fewer occasions I hear other music too - like Jazz, soft Rock, Blues, Western Classical, even popular songs.

Recently I found out that the Raagas and Taals in Indian Classical music originate from the hymns of Vedas and were used as meditation techniques.

I am curious to know if anybody has been listening to music before concentration exercise and what has been the result?

Music is perhaps the most direct physical manifestation of vibrational beauty that we can easily merge with. Recordings of meditation music tends to be repetitively self-disciplined, such as with chanting. When creatively engaging with music for meditation purposes, it helps to be part of the process. Join a group that focuses and chants over meditational subjects. Or chant in the shower (that is how I learned many songs).

Indian devotional singing follows a repetitional pattern: learn it and the chanting will make more sense.

Here is my favorite song:

(2x)
Love is the way
Love is the only way
Love is the road
Love is the only road
Follow the road
Love is a golden road

(2x)
Step by step we'll walk towards the light
Step by step we'll walk towards the light
Step by step we'll reach the light
Step by step we'll be the light

(Final lines)
Love is the way
Love is the only way

My favorite way to follow this ceremony is to sing a song for as long as the vibe holds (usually 5 minutes to 1 hour), then wait, quietly basking in the glow of the vibe, until someone starts up with another chant. This can easily go on for days without end.

The difference between singing and listening to music, both for meditational purposes, is one of degree of engagement. For example, another place for positive singing is prior to meals. Chanting and singing is far more engaging than just listening to meditational music, but it isn't appropriate for everyone. Some people would prefer to have soft music piped in when they eat, others would prefer to make the music themselves.

hi all

I recently posted this to the http://www.couragetoresist.org/x/ site


Hi there you guys, you're making the difference.

I have written a poem (I was once soldier once myself, thanks to the creation I never had to pull the trigger to kill anyone)

I wrote it hoping that one day maybe soldiers would read it and wake up.

BTW I am very shocked to see the very unfair "engagement" on this link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pDtPnN0WcaI&playnext_from=TL&videos=2_uGhE9YgSk

There is nothing manly about attacking from the distance.. it's not fair at all, even if the targets were guilty, they were not given the chance to fight in court, and were defeated cowardly, not even face to face, attacked by silent enemies flying over their own nation's skies..

Anyway, this is my poem, I hope you share it on this site:

"we are soldiers, we are cowards, who attack from afar
We can't face our enemy, nor fight with bare hands
We hide behind the clouds, and shower them with pain
We violate the wrong targets and their women we do rape
We steal their lands and honor
For a tiny little pay
We come back playing the hero
longing to sleep in comfy bed
after killing the malnourished, the poor,
those who had no part in trouble,
with 4 o 5 mouths to feed

I spill their blood over my consciousness
Which is dormant and ignores
Spread this anthem fellow soldier
Before the dark hours show up
that you'd be killed, that you'd be tortured
that you'd be raped from afar."

hello there figu friends,
recently i have entered one of my film scripts into a contest in los angeles. It's a well known event in the industry. my desire for 7 years now has been to write films, and produce them... sci-fi, mystery, and even children's stuff.
if i do manage to qualify to a point where benefits arise from this endevour, it has been my desire for some time now to make a film about atlantis and the human gods etc.
hopefully the big wigs see talent behind my writing (or potential for money in the typical producers eyes) and i fullfill my dreams.
please wish me luck, in the meantime, if anybody would like to entertain themselves with some humour, please let me know and i'll send the script to you via email.
ofcourse, posting the whole thing on here is a bit extreme. i feel this post is justified and reasonable because the story contains certain topics that is covered in the figu material. the story also has strong female charachters, which some may find entertaining :-)

note: the film is a satire on the entertainment industry, in the form of a murder mystery/dark humour.

Peter,
Please also send to me your script. I write scripts in Spanish, and one of my dreams is to create cartoons about Billy/Plejaren stories.(I use Anime pro to create simple cartoons).

And good luck in the contest.

thank you all for your support and interest, i also wish success for you Francisco.
i think childrens cartoons are a good topic because they are so impressionable, and to weave the spiritual teachings into childrens cartoons would be most beautiful.

i have now sent those who asked the scriupt, enjoy, and pardon my dark sense of humour.
thank you moderators for your understanding.
you said it mark, and if i do find success, think of the wonderful possiblities that could come of it.

oops, i think there might have been some confusion mark... this script that i sent to the few forum members, it is a dark comedy about a young man and his obsession of a supermodel. although i have already written a script about the human gods and atlantis, i have not typed it up according to the industry standard format, nor have i entered it in any contests etc. but i am going to go to the vancouver film school in janruary, and part of the course that i am taking includes filming 3 films, and in the end, one of those films (the strongest)is pushed and promoted in the major film festivals, like cannes, tribeca, sundance etc. so if i chose to use the atlantis/human gods film, well think of the possibilities. it fills me with joy.

i will stray no further off topic :-)

Hello Peter, i would like to read your script aswell. my email is sean_gib@yahoo.co.uk

also some time ago i wrote a treatment for a short - touching on human-ET-contact related subject matter. but never really did anything with it as of yet.

Could maybe send you that in return. - to Maybe get some feedback on it in relation as to whether or not you thought it may be a good enough idea to further develop into a more elaborate script.

There is some funding programmes in my nearby city for scripts that are deemed to be good enough for development. Maybe something to work on in spare time. if it was fleshed out a bit more.

ok thats all.
Giorraíonn beirt bóthar,

Sean.

There was a young tart who came apart,
from her heart to her heart,
and love was all that was spent.

She loved like a willow,
sneezed and cried in her pillow,
for she loved herself more than naught.

on the twenty third of may
in my town the sky was grey
but my computer was sunny all day
when shined a poem
by a person
whom often stated and restated
love is the way

the poem reminded me of a show i watched as a child
wind in the willows
off to dreamland i flew
on the feathers from my pillows
as the sun withdrew

:-)

a neat and entertaining poem sitkaa, do you often write poems?

Thanks Peter, to be honest, I can't always tell the difference between poetry and prose. I just write wither the muse blows.

The poem was actually a response to your previous post: considering a positive topic in the guise of a more bawdy structure, in this case the poem started out sounding like a limerick. But I am no expert in these things, no, no, no. I fall into a relaxed simplicity far too easily: regardless of how precisely true it might be, for me everything tends towards poetry.
