hi everyone,
So what have I been doing?
Well, theres work 8 hours a day.
For those of you who don't know,
I'm living in Canberra working for Centrelink.
I don't really know what I'm doing here.
I just landed the job, and took it.
Then I spend 3 hours a day on the bus.
I have mostly spent that time studying chinese.
I have almost finished my high school textbook.
Well, the one from years 8 & 9.
My other few hours at home,
well, I've started playing piano,
I love it, my house mate is teaching me,
She taught me some fundamental music theory,
which makes music so much more interesting.
I cant believe how simple it is, or maybe she is just
and amazing teacher.
This is the first time I've played an instrument daily,
and I love the progress.
I was doing daily yoga for a few months,
and that was pretty nice,
but I've stopped, because I hurt myself.
I bought a bike on thursday and rode to work
a few times this week,
it takes almost an hour, but it is faster than the bus,
and I get to go around a mountain, so it is
a nice scenic route.
When I first arrived here I was going to lost of Baha'i
functions and a few buddhist meetings and quaker
meditations and ananda marga worship.
I also went to a couple of UN gatherings,
and some law/social justice gatherings.
after a month I recoiled completely,
and lately I spend all my spare
time talking to my house mates,
and doing research to build united visions.
OK, well I'm arriving at work now,
I'm going to a seminar on programming mainframe computers.
- well that was not very interesting,
could hardly keep awake,
and I just discovered I have lost my phone.
so i guess I'll need your phone number if you are in Oz
I am really torn,
this job is not what I know would be the best way
for me to contribute to society, far from it.
I have spent a lot of my time looking on
the net for spiritual communities
that are very practical, and really
are contributing to their surrounding communties,
or the world.
I cant believe it is so hard to find what I'm looking for.
I'm sure most of you already know
I want a community dedicated to enlightenment,
where everyone shares and uses resources wisely,
where the people have a clear vision of fantastic contributions
that would improve every society, such as
having enlightnement practice part
of everyones daily lives, and community business planning
aimed at fulfilling all the needs and wants of the community.
A place where every one loves each other,
everyone focusses on what is really important,
each others dreams and passions,
and we encourage each other and work together to fulfil them.
I can't remember the last time someone asked what was important to me.
I've been looking in to prioritising systems so that all my time
can be spent most effectively in developing myself and my networks,
to build these communities.
I've been mostly focusing on rewritting my vision statements,
and presenting them in a way that they would be ready
for some brilliant multimedia gurus to transform them
in to truly inspirational pieces that will unite the world.
I made some great friends in the Bahai community,
but since I stopped going to their activities I haven't seen them,
just my housemtes and me... and work...
thats my life at the moment.... oh, and my dreams.
well, I pray that your dreams are coming true,
and that you are happy, and your thoughts
have been selfless and lovely
love Frazer
