I'm depressed

A useful excercise for whenever you are down is to close your eyes, picture yourself where you are and then imagine you disappeared and replaced with a sea otter. Imagine what the sea otter would do next. Maybe it would start firing off emails that read: "qw3gv452byu835y34tvwyvgr3u3gw34vt14i134vdasoefhwQLRHWFHRGALNHUinuhwro2489t3." What would happen next? Maybe it would do something else. It's always worked well for me.

:) thanks Brandon...laughter is the medicine of the soul, or something Readers-Digesty like that. :D :D

self-made religion

[rvrjoe775]

Of course religion is man-made, and therefore prone to corruption and manopulation. But it's a response to the recognition of forces (god, nature, karma, magick, nihilism, fate) outside of man's control or understanding. I've made a conscious decision to be a city dweller and will likely never live in a small town again, but I was reminded recently how the more structured one's environment the easier one can lose the sense of wonder at the world's beauty

I guess sometimes I want the Universe to tell me what it is, what it's made of...my curiosity is too big for my body. :)

Religion is man-made

I get this brain-worm from time to time.

Meditation helps or sometimes something simpler. Like looking out the window and seeing an eagle. Or a baby laugh.

Thank you.... :) I took a little walk yesterday and it helped clear my head.

Darling, you are the magic. Just be you (even if you're not sure how that goes yet) and the rest will fall into place. Whatever forces drive the universe, things keep going - as long as you swim with the current, and not against it - you're in safe waters (there's some philosphy in there, I think... but don't count on it - I'm not really very good at all this cosmic stuff - I'm locked into pragmatic-mode :D)

[blackvinylangel]

You're so sweet, and so right. I took a little walk yesterday afternoon, and I think I found the current again. Thank you...

[bescincimevsim]
