NO LJ CUT...SORRY THIS IS ENLIGHTENMENT AT ITS BEST!

Oct 24, 2003 22:41

So. I'm reading this book. The Only Dance There Is -- Ram Dass. And I'm feeling myself grow. Funny, because everything Ram Dass has ever written has only been a reinforcer to what I already know within myself. Lau Tzu says in the Tao Te Ching that if one really wants to learn from his teachings, he simply needs to look within himself. Well no ( Read more... )

Passing good books along = good karma.

(((erin)))

I'm contemplating about returning myself to the head doctor. I think I'm def gonna ask to get some more pills just to level myself out so I can start seeing some positives rather than always finding the negatives.

AAAMEN!! And ditto to all of this....
My mom is dead. People have walked on me. People have used me. People have hurt me. People have been overwhelmed by me and vanished from my life. My mom is dead. I don't see myself in the future ANYWHERE. I'm not motivated in school. I don't know what I want to be "when I grow up." I'm scared that I'll always love people too much, it will hurt when I drive them away from me. I'll be wrong in my shoes. Always. People will see through me. They'll realize that I'm not creative, I'm not successful, I'm not motivated, I'm not real. And they won't love me. I'll never amount to anything...in the FUTURE...I'll never get to have HER back...that is the PAST.

Well, so GODDAMN what??????????

MEE TOOOOO
I've been lucky to not drive you away as well. But I love you. ANd I love our residents! I got Rose to dance for me this morning.
WE ARE LUCKY!!! I LOVE YOU!!! I'M FAT!!! I WANT MY MOMMY!!! I LOVE YOU!!!

I wish I hadn't deleted the first 9 months of my old LJ - you just said it in a nutshell up there. I've never been to therapy (okay - well once when I had post traumatic stress syndrome from a tornado and the therapist told me to draw a picture of the tornado and talk to it....umm...I never went back). They can't tell me anything I don't already recognize about myself - all therapists do is sit there and tell you what you already KNOW - but you just need to hear from someone else to make it ..so...for some reason. I think they defeat the purpose - because they TEACH us to RELY on others to feed us truth. Truth we can have a heaping bowl of anytime we want without having to PAY someone. Fact is - FEAR rules us all. Fear of the future...fear of the past - questions that have everything to do with EVERYONE else and their perceptions, expectations and reservations about US....if we QUIT valuing ourselves on everyone else - and learn to live in US...TODAY...most of our problems would disappear. Fact - we all spend way too much time ( ... )
