Remote Controls

"I have always maintained that technology makes us lazy. In my mind, the remote control started what has been the demise of our desire or ability to actually get up from our comfortable positions, walk to the TV and change the channel.

We are so used to the remote doing our leg work with such swift precision that we would not know what to do if it were ever disabled. Yes we would -- pound it on our thighs until it works again or utters it’s last breath and causes us to get up and change the batteries -- or use the spare remote strapped to our ankle."

Deterioration

"Connection is something I speak of often because I see human connections deteriorating. Life can make some of us, angry, hard and uncaring, but that’s just not a way to live. We have to let go of those experiences that harden our hearts. Get back to the pureness of living. Hang around people who are positive influences. Get rid of negativity. Stop listening to it. Stop repeating it. Stop adding to it. Throw it out with the bath water."

Weightless

"The war of independence is a war we all fight. We are constantly fighting to become free. Free of our vices, habits and anything that keeps us from feeling our true spirit. Some of us live with certain liberties that others don’t.

One day we will be free from the weight of this world and released from this mortal coil, but in the interim, we still have to strive for peace within ourselves. A peace that no matter where we are in our lives, will take hold of us. A peace that is resolute in our Souls. A peace and knowingness that will always reside inside of us."

The World Is Our Mirror

"We are so caught up in criticizing others
that we fail to see what’s inside us.
The world is our mirror.
When we find faults in others,
those are the same faults in us.
When we see good in others,
we see the good in us.
To recognize something,
we must know it ourselves.
When we see the best in others,
we are at our best.
When we appreciate beauty,
we appreciate our beauty.
When we love,
we are loved
and when we feel love,
our possibilities are endless.
Reflect the love in your heart
and watch how it changes
the people around you."

Full Speed Ahead

"As my brain sharpens my utensils, preparing my incisors to gnaw, my Soul is negotiating the karmic curves at breakneck speed. It’s not just knowing something as much as it is just knowing.

The real knowledge is what your Soul collects and recollects. Don’t let the real knowledge in you die. Don’t go down without a fight for your right to know why you are on this planet. One day my brain will rest in peace, but my Soul will always be wide awake in consciousness."

Slices Of Death

"Love is the sum of all existence. We are here to celebrate its glory and to uphold its honor. We create a visual landscape of thoughts, feelings, expressions and memories and draw from them in moments of love. Don't think of life as being bleak. Each moment we die a little and each moment, we are reborn."

Inner Gardening

"I think that’s the key; finding our threshold for happiness. We all know our threshold for pain, so why not reverse our thinking and go for happiness? I have a number of things that make me happy and I make sure I do one, some, most or all of them on a daily basis. I think that’s the secret to life. We have to find out what and who we are suited for. What jobs, people, lifestyle, etc. and what makes the happiest fit. We can’t stop until we find something. And everyone has their something. We don’t need a green thumb to cultivate our garden. If we don’t cultivate our own garden, we won’t see or appreciate our spiritual growth."

Battle Scars

Swim For It

"When you behave in a less than desirable way, or in a way where you take advantage of others or treat them egregiously, there are consequences. When you have no self-respect, no one with self-respect will respect you.

When you find yourself in a pickle, no amount of money, lawyers, power or fame will set you free. No amount. Money is meaningless to God. Lawyers are not above the law of God. When you’re in over your head, a lawyer may be able to rescue you temporarily, but a lawyer can't teach you how to swim. You eventually have to save yourself -- swim for it -- and the force greater than you will assist you. You want your life back? Swim for it."

Fiber Optics

"Though life is not like a box of chocolate, it is like a screenplay. We have series of events where we feel we are up against the wall and we have to find our resolve. We have to rely on our ingenuity to propel us through the situation unscathed. If we develop a strong resolve, we are satisfied knowing that we did the best we could. Like in a film, a strong resolution leaves us feeling satiated.

So I sit here in this unyielding library chair rolling with it while I transcribe notes that were fired up in darkness. I pause to peruse my mental dictation, hoping not to produce verbigeration in trying to make sense of this technology conundrum.

Ah, the keyboard doth bring me solace in a blogtastical harmony. I’m not reliant on locked and loaded fiber optics hyperactively converting light to electricity and firing through the wires to assemble clear voices, ambient resonance and crisp HD spitting images in millions of colors and sizes. While it’s true, one’s sighs fits all, I am resigned to sit here as long as it takes to splash these words onto this screen with a song in my heart.

Generation Blogger

"Bloggers are the voice of new generation -- Generation Be. We are a group of a selected few who take communication to the next level.

We are in the trenches. We are people watchers. We inform people -- implore them to explore their minds and listen to the world around them. For the most part I think this fellowship is flourishing and we are keeping the home fires burning.

We are new and improved guerilla filmmakers armed with passion. Shooting millions of millimeters of raw footage -- unscripted -- unedited -- in real -- reel time.

Our eyes record in high definition, our ears in THX surround sound -- freeze framing life in rhythmic nuances and riveting emotion pictures, trying to fit it all onto our IMAX screens just to premiere the split seconds and connect at high speed."

Your Inner Prophet

"Technology aside, I think we are in the middle of a communication crisis. It seems to be very difficult for people to make contact and those fortunate ones who make contact can’t seem to keep it. They lack the skills to maintain a conversation and they are left to utter Morse code between ellipsis points.

It has got to be something more than an electronic breakdown in the brain. Is it such a stretch to say something inspiring? Profound? Funny? Heartfelt? Real?

I think people have stopped having enthusiasm for life. They have stopped enjoying the moment. They have been put to sleep by a life less than perfect. A life that they are not willing to work. Rain has fallen on their dreams and they have abandoned them in puddles on the side of the road. Let’s go deep for once. Break the surface. Wake the silence. Spark the darkness. Get to the root. Open up to people. Release your inner prophet."

Vacancy

"You can see it in their eyes. The vacancy. Dispiritedness. Deadly silence speaking volumes. People mouthing the words of loneliness. Walking through the shadow of their lives. Souls that are AWOL, pulled along like hollow husks on an invisible track connected to nowhere and nobody.

Even in a supermarket when we are shopping, do we bother to speak to people -- people in the flesh, not on the other end of that little electronic mishap that’s responsible for reducing people to a decibel controlled by a translucent volume button -- or even worse -- a God awful ringtone.

That’s the whole problem in a nutshell. We are adept at cell phoning, text-messaging and I-M-ing our BFF, but not E-Moting or honing our antiquated communciation skills -- the ones before the technolgy revolution short-circuited our evolution.

We are a world of bumper car drivers who are resigned to jolt others but not feel them. We don’t want to get out of our cars for fear of being left behind. By bumping into each other, we push each other away, instead of embracing each other and holding them close.

I am convinced that there are millions of Souls in the universe trying to connect. Trying to intermingle their energies into each other to get that unspeakable communion of Soul and connect with a supreme force."

Shrapnel

"Some people walk around with the pain of a thousand lifetimes from spiritual wars long before this lifetime. They can’t seem to dislodge the shrapnel from their Soul. They spiral into the black hole depression. A darkness so black that they don’t see any other color. A billowy smoke that chokes the life out of them. A hole so abysmal that they can’t climb out. An unfathomable weight on their consciousness.

When we try to hang on to them for comfort, they cause distress. Pain is God telling us to opens our hands and let go. It’s in the letting go that we reclaim our lives and reignite the fire in our Soul. Embracing the pain liberates your very essence and fills you with the satisfaction that you are evolving at a personalized rate of speed for your consciousness under the watchful eye of the universe."

Deconstruction

"We watch the assault of humanity with our eagle eyes and recoil at the rancid human destruction, while we choke on the fumes and hold back the tears, crashing into each other like unwilling crash test dummies.

Often times, it is just too much to ingest. All that negative energy. Floating around, looking for something or someone to attach itself to. That energy has to go somewhere, but it doesn’t have to lodge itself into our Soul and deconstruct our Spirit."
