hi. nice to meet you.... i've been working with higher balance for a year now and ive started to have experiences with altered states of awareness. other things have been happening too, intuition is growing... synchronicity is growing and i seem to be becoming more and more spontaneous. my psychic abilities are growing in that i can sense more stuff on a level that is beyond the 5 senses.... i'm at a place where i seem to have transcended emotions (i.e. i feel good ALL THE TIME!) and there are times when i can stop the babbler too (but that causes a shift in awareness into some other dimension, but i dunno what to do there yet.... i'm still at a beginner level of this). i want to ask you a couple of questions in regards to this.... not to defend higher balance, you make your own choices... but just curious. 1. how hard did you work with this stuff? i mean did you meditate every day, twice a day? did you do the surrender regularly? work on the high guard stuff regularly? listen to the tone regularly? listen to the modules regularly? 2. because of the big statements were you expecting a magic pill? i.e. you can just listen to the cd's and then sweet... you've got it? i know i expected that at the beginning and after 6 months or so i was very discouraged because nothing was happening..... but then about 2 months ago i really started applying myself... i mean really hard. working at it all the time, super regularly. and that's what it takes. any spiritual path takes hard hard hard work and lots of it. consistancy, dedication, determination, vigilance. noone is ever just gonna walk up to you with a silver platter and say "here you. enlightenment for you...." it just don't happen! i mean... a year, so what? a year is nothing in terms of time.... in martial arts you can't even get a black belt (which is considered to be when you are now a real beginner) in a year. energy building is the first step, it's like General Preparedness.... without building the energy, you can't go on and do anything else..... 3. how old are you? cos if you are like older than 30.... well you got it a lot tougher than me. the older one gets, the more conditioning is laid upon... the more fixed and solid the ego and ideas become and the harder it is to shift all that to make any serious breakthough. it can be done but it requires a lot of hard work. i was lucky enough to get started when i was 23..... but had already been thinking about and looking at spiritual stuff for a couple of years previously. sure thing they do a lot of marketing, everything seems so glamerous and the impression is given that it's going to be really easy and wont take a lot of work. that is a bit of a misrepresentation because i think the hard work aspect really needs to be emphasised more. but they are genuine about what they do. they offered me a 'scholarship' and have been sending me free material for the past year. i bought the foundation but they have given me more than 10 of the other modules for free...... why? because the woman i spoke with told me that eric came up to her and without having known anything about me told her to give me a scholarship and told her all this stuff about me that i hadn't even discussed with her...... weird, no? although it is beginning to make sense now, not to appear arrogant or anything. anyways now you can say you have cyber-met someone who has had results with higher balance

i have seen both ghosts and energy beings as well as nature elementals..... but i don't really see any in the city, or not around the area i am usually at.... the elementals of course, you can see everywhere but thinking about paying attention to them rarely comes up... cool, i'll make a note of that for one of my 'warrior cards' no voices though, except of course the babbler/monkey mind hahaha..... i do shift my vibrational level though and i think i enter dimensions slightly outside of our own.... although i'm not experienced enough to know what to do. i'm still here, but i'm accessing more..... more what, i'm not sure cos there aren't any words (not listening to that babbler anymore), and when i'm back here i can't really explain what was going on. i don't 'go' anywhere though... i'm still here, but i'm not. it's very cool. and there are definately different levels (haven't experienced much of the spectrum but). haven't left my body though.... not knowingly anyways, although apparently we often do while sleeping and just aren't aware of it. sometimes i'll wake up and know i was playing in the astral realm.... but again there is an inability to bring what i experienced there, to this dimension here.... in full anyway. but where i am now, always, is different than the dimension or vibrational level i used to reside in. now i spend most of my time in a slightly higher heart space.... and biochemical emotions seem to be transcended. yeah i have no doubt that if i don't watch myself, and go gently with humatons.... people are gonna start thinking i am due for a trip to the psych ward. but it's ok.... the impression most people get now is that i'm just a happy, confident and shameless guy.... which i am

are you trying to tell me i need psychiatric help? hahahahahahahahahahahaha. if i didn't know how to laugh, yeah i probably would..... and i was most certainly headed that way before my heart opened. you know i was thinking yesterday that i seem to have transcended emotions to some degree. i was trying to remember the last time i felt anything but 'this' (which is no real emotion but is something along the lines of content/happy/blissful/joyeous.... but it's not, because it's not based so much in duality as those are) and it must be a month or two. i feel nothing but this stability that fluctuates but never deviates. rather i determine my feeling of the day by my vibrational level. when i am vibrating really high i feel bliss.... so much bliss sometimes that it's uncontainable the huge grin never leaves my face and any stray word can cause me to burst into laughter haha. on days when i am vibrating lower.... well i feel great, just not as much bliss hahaha. silly emotions like anger and depression and even the good ones like happines joy etc are all biochemical based.... all stuck in the very base levels of the body. all just chemicals swirling around and silly reactions to external events beyond our control. they are based in the misunderstanding that the external world governs how we feel, and not the other way around.... that the internal world actually governs the external.... or something, i can't quite explain it.

http://sexrevolutionblog.com/?cat=2 this natural game stuff is really interesting. these guys are using the modality of getting woman as a tool to raise self-esteem, become more aware of personality and thought patterns, interact successfully with others, learn about and become a real male, and how to raise others 'value levels' or vibration/self-esteem (whether they are aware of these things or not, i'm not sure). a very interesting tool and the information meshes perfectly with where i am in regards to thought reflection and personality stalking.

dude.... i hear ya. it has to all come from the heart..... being a taoist forum we all know that sexual energy is a huge part of transformation (but most definately not the ONLY part!!!) and that's all cool.... but then what use is having sexual knowledge if you aint got partners to practice with? we are lucky in this dimension to have such a thing as sex, orgasm is a glimpse of union.... in higher dimensional levels they don't get this raw creative expression we call sex. so yeah i want to experience more of it, i want to know what it's like to be with different individuals. to feel love generally all around. i'm not out to hurt anyone, i'm not out to add notches to my bedpost either. i'm just out to have fun learn more about social and sexual dynamics, meet some beautiful heart-centred women and explore! i've been digging stephane's approach to pickup, coming from the heart.... courage + consideration + qualifying. i'm not into 'negging' either (unless of course it's all in fun and totally harmless... but then that's just flirting anyway!).... but i'm not willing to put up with crap either. if someone wants to judge my intentions without truly feeling or wanting to understand where i am coming from or give me unsolicited advice, good for them.... i honour that, but i'll show them the mirror and walk away!

what does that mean? is it something about loving life and having a good time? cos thats me!

hehe well i have been lucky enough to have coaching with higher balance.... plus they gave me lots of material. actually erics teachings make it easier to understand what other people are saying and all the blocks seem to stick together easily. it really is very good stuff. he sounds like such a simpleton when he talks.... but he is certainly talking on more than one level at a time, and it's over an audio cd! that and many wonderful teachers of all different levels entering my life..... oh wait. shit! damnit... hahahahahahahaha thanks to every being, event and moment of time for being my teacher and teaching me a wonderful lesson.

hello sunshine.... hahaha (i'm thinking "lock stock and two smoking barrels" accent) good of you to post the book here. i've passed the link on to a few people already that i think it may be of use to. there is some stuff in the book that may come across as intially controversial, but for what it's worth i feel it's pretty spot on for most of it (and written in the simplest language i have ever had the pleasure of reading a spiritual book to be.... it's definately accessible to anyone that isn't completely illiterate). i've been working with higher balance for almost a year now and it is definately taking me somewhere. i have added in a few outside influences, used other sources to increase my understanding or make up for stuff that they don't cover (i.e. RMAX for the physical, independant nutrition knowledge, looking elsewhere for sexual knowledge blah blah), etc... but the core of my practice come from higher balance. i'm glad i stuck with it because it took a while for me to realise that serious results were taking place. i'm actually thinking very strongly about going to the retreat in hawaii in january.

thank you for your comment. *holds up a mirror*

i've found that aneros trains dr lins style of sexual chi kong to happen naturally and involuntarily. but i guess included in this you are referring to the 3-point orgasm for women too, huh? what about that squirting orgasm stuff by ideagasms? i remember people talking about it before but at that point i wasn't paying much attention.....

i was wondering when you would chime in on this one, freeform good post, as usual and you get exactly the intentions and purposes i was trying to make clear. you also make a very good point on the spinside of it, the side that more spiritually inclined people would instantly think of when they hear the term 'pick up artist' (although they should think about why they are instantly reacting this way and actually forcing judgement!). i'm sure you have gained enough insight into my personal adventure, freeform, to realise i'm not interested in the canned material, playing mind games with girls to lower their self-esteem (damaging the goods to make it easier to bed them) and other tricks.... thats just not the point, as i'm not out to fuck as many women as i can.... but rather, as you perfectly expressed, to heal scars from my past by engaging in behaviour i have been too fearful to do for much of my life and also to continue to expand my exploration into meaningful connections with others. i have just been reading the archived newsletters from 'ideagasms' on reccomendation from peregrino, and the whole heart based approach has just added yet another level of congruence to my intention with this 'project'. stephane makes a very good point that all the canned material, tricks, etc... all come from a FEAR based interpretation of reality... i'm interested only in removing fear and thus only want to operate from a place of love... which is naturally getting easier and easier to do (the more i am embracing this stuff, the more people seem to want to talk to me... even if i am unresponsive, big big changes are occurring for me).

see you do know what i'm talking about. to evolve and bring out the true self one can go both ways.... from the external in and from the internal out, isn't it more powerful to go both ways at once? common example.... "if you want to feel happy, smile". this is going from the external in. one can also go about analysing the situations causing unhappiness, rectify those and embrace more of the true self to thus facilitate external happiness (and bring a smile to the mouth). now how about if we both smile AND do all that internal stuff? hey presto, super quick results! it is about dressing the part, playing the role appropriate to the situation. it is about learning more about my true self and also my matrix self. my matrix self is a man.... my biological system is hardwired as a man. men are naturally promiscuous, men naturally seek many women to spread their seed.... this is how men act as nature intended them. however due to a messed up society, men have become women.... and i know, i was one of these. it's not healthy and only leads to frustration, depression, despair, low self-esteem, etc. what's the point of that? so you see.... the goal is not to manipulate others and play games to get laid.... it's much much deeper. its about being a warrior and pressure testing those warrior skills in the highest possible stress scenario i can think of.... picking up extremely attractive women. it's not about the sex, it's not about if i get any kind of hanky panky whatsoever.... it's about the game and the experience, about having fun and learning. (any sex is just a bonus hahaha - and even this is still an energetic tool to raise both my vibrational level and that of the partner i am with.... i am getting pretty confident with my sexual skills, and the use of the aneros has certainly escalated them). i'm very clear with my intentions and why i am doing this. plus i just spoke to a friend of mine who will make a perfect wingman, and he's keen. we gonna have a great game going.... i'm real tall, he is real short. i have very little body hair, he is hairy. i have a plain aussie accent, he has a thick columbian accent.... the contrast i think can be made to work very successfully. plus he has a good playful vibe going. let the games begin!

you keep holding to this idea that there is a 'myself'. i guess i haven't made myself clear when i say that EVERYTHING AND ANYTHING ANYONE CAN EVER SEE OR KNOW OF ME IS JUST AN ACT! it's just an "I", that is a conditioned personality built up as a way of interacting with society in this dimension. the true me isn't here... and on the occassions (which are becoming more frequent) that i am able to tap into it, the true me is in such a state that people wouldn't be able to get me (although they seem to want to give me gifts hahaha) and i don't care about any of this stuff. my current process is not to become a better person, but to become ANY PERSON. to recognise that all these personalities are just jackets, about recognising them and learning to change into whatever jacket i want to wear. i'm not looking to manipulate individuals, but rather reality.... and if that involves "wearing disguises", that's what it involves.... because they are all disguise. this person i acted as for 24 years... was just an act. i'm so aware of that now, and i was stuck in it and i didn't like it. perhaps you are too caught on the idea of picking up women for sex and not realising that the game is so much deeper and profound than that. it is an internal game and it's actually ABOUT learning more about the true me. when i get to the point where i can really bring the true me out, i am gonna blow people away.... that's just the way it is.

i'm not really much of a bar person either, just not my scene. i think i am gonna go with day game for a while.... it's more fun for me. gonna have to do the bar scene eventually though just to build up a thick skin and confidence levels by having lots of crash and burn hahaha. less chance of going all the way in one hit for daygame, but then again that's not really my intent anyway so it's no big deal. karaoke... cool (shame my singing voice is awful). asian girls, huh? not sure when/if i'll make it to the US... it is on the agenda, but my whole agenda has just been reshifted in terms of priorities (im now forming a habit of making increasingly liquid plans.... the intent is to eventually get to the gas stage and reside in pure spontenaity), but if i do... i'll be sure to look you up. haha so i have heard. not sure why that is though, i personally think the australian accent is pretty ugly.... and my usual voice has very little of it (when i travel, people can't pick whether i'm from aus, england, us or canada... they just don't know!).... this is northern beaches sydney upper middle class accent of no accent. anyways i'm digging reading about all of this. it's making a whole lot of sense.... value, attainability, screening, etc. the biggest problem for me was always trying to qualify myself.... so pathetic. i'm rectifying that (i have to stay on guard of my thoughts at all times to make sure i don't slip into old patterns..... and THIS is where warriorship seeps into the concept of Pick Up). projection of state, i like that.... other readers, can you see how projection of state can be applicable to a warrior also? where does it lead? right into telepathy and other psychic skills..... (and possibly/eventually... even into a state where one can break the matrix, i.e. be incontrol of the reality around oneself... like neo from the matrix). i practice a martial arts called "cheng hsin" which at it's core is actually an ontological practice. we do a whole variety of things such as 'outreaching' (can also be thought of as assimilation and is a precursor to telepathy.... involves expanding your sensory perception outwards and into the person to feel what they are feeling), 'joining' (which is combining your line of energy with your partner/opponents energy to create an entirely new line which is in a direction, if done well, of your choosing), 'leading' (pretty obvious, is leading the partner/opponent where you choose to go.... very pick in PU i am seeing, being in control of the situation), 'following' (becoming a mirror image of the partner/opponent, being able to follow their intentions so well that you know what they are going to do before they actually do it). all of this stuff i am seeing is applicable to PU, and also any social dynamics.... as well as fighting. ahhh, it all begins to come together, very nice. PU is just another tool i have recognised as being applicable to my journey, so now it's about learning how to use that tool so i can add it to the box in confidence. "I unify in order to evolve. Attracting synchronicity."

peregrino - very informative post and it's obvious you understand exactly where i am coming from in relation to all this. cat and mythmaker.... you guys just miss the point ENTIRELY! it's not about playing games, it's not about being someone you aren't..... rather it's about becoming more of who you really ARE! most, if not all, people are actors anyway. the roles they are currently playing is one built up by conditioning (and probably some slight conscious involvement, in terms of their particular 'style' i.e. their range of interests... but this is still often due to conditioning of local environment also) and it's not true. so when you say "just be yourself" what the hell does that man? i am multi-dimensional consciousness currently residing in a physical body.... my true self can't even be expressed full in this dimension. other than that... i'm just an actor, and before now... a typecast. so what am i doing? i'm learning to expand my repertoire and play different roles, it's a lot of fun.... try it sometime. there is no lie because the person i am currently acting as is, for all intents and purposes, the 'true' me at that particular point! the model of a man that pick up artists are presenting is the model of how a man really should be! a man is a confident, charismatic, unattached, sexually charged individual. through this modality one can increase confidence and feelings of well being while at the same time learning to do so for all others around (in particular.... women ) this carries directly over to the warriors path. there is something deeper going on here if one can read between the lines and look beyond the simple idea that it's about getting laid..... it's actually a form of 'stalking' of using the modality of approaching woman to become aware of ones own behavioural patterns, particularly those in a high stress situation (talking to extremely attractive women) when one would normally shut down all awareness of what is going on in the inner world and fall into panic. it CAN be just about picking up women, but if one can see the possibilities.... it can be a lot more than that too. i choose to use this as an exploration and a lesson for myself (as i do with everything now) and yeah.... i'm gonna go out picking up girls, i've started a little already and it's a lot of fun! goodbye the "AFC" (average frustrated chump) i WAS! plato - doesn't suprise me you know them as i did find the link from your blog site (which needs updating! i enjoy your posts... you should do it more frequently!). you seem to be a bit of a well known guy.... if i ever make it to NY, we'll go out sarging, eh? i'll have built up a reasonable amount of experience by then.... and i already got the looks on my side plus i've heard great things about the success of the australian accent in the US, and i have the ability to strengthen or weaken the thickness of my accent at will.

true that! the magic happens in the action.... as one of my teachers says "you have to EARN your enlightenment".

i'm seeing far deeper possibilities within this context. i like it.... very warrior style.

yah, i get ya. just seemed from your previous point you had one point of view.... so in light of the paradox, i naturally felt obliged to raise the other side. had you gone about introducing the idea of the darkside... i may have just taken it upon myself to argue that it's all the one thing! haha, look i know that it's fun and exciting... NOW... for me. but personally i had to see it first as a place i wanted to escape from before i could begin to embrace just how fun and exciting it really is. i think it's become so fun and exciting because i know i am on the way out! the funniest thing, really, is those of us who choose to serve the force and 'evolve' are actually being the destroyers! you get the absurdity of it? by evolving the matrix to the point where it's not necessary anymore, we destroy it and the petty little reality upheld by all the humatons living within it. be aiding in the evolution back to the source we end up with the eventual dissolution of it all!!! i find that pretty absurd. to an average humtaon, the work we are doing is actually the work of the fallen angel (and how appropriate is that idea? ).

there is a darkside. we live in a dimension of duality, ying and yang. god-force and darkside. darkside seeks to destroy and suppress life, god-force seeks to evolve and nurture life. it's very distinct. we are putrifying in the chrysalis to become butterflies, the point is we are putrifying. i personally feel that one has to see and accept this opposing force in one way or another, to actually transcend it... that could be through conspiracy theories or it could be through recognising that we exist in samsara (buddhist "life is suffering" philosophy) or whatver. of course, it's a lot more complex than that... it's like how do you unplug from the matrix if you don't even know you are plugged in?? it's really lovely to walk around and say everything is god and everything is all perfect and lovely and everything.... but when it comes down to it, we are still seeking something and that doesn't really get anywhere because 50 years from now we'll still be walking around saying it and still existing exclusively (our perception anyway) in this dimension. for me, that's not enough. i dunno.... whatever

hmmm i dunno about this. conspiracy theories was just one of the many catalysts on my own path to get where i am now. i don't think i could have gained the level of understanding and the kind of consciousness shifts that are now occurring without this dive first into seeing evil at the very base (matrix) level. i worked from the bottom up.... i knew something was wrong and i looked for answers. i found out about crooked corporations (that one wasn't hard to find), started to understand how the media manipulates minds and thoughts, saw how this began to tie into government and other places of power.... began to discover that it was a reccurring theme that runs back as far as human history does, found out about the power families, satanic worhsippers (ever seen the pictures of george w doing the 'horned owl' symbol??)... and it kept going up until i realised that all these levels were just the operation of a force, that is the opposing force of 'god' (in this dimension of duality... every action has an opposite reaction... i.e. the god force has it's counter force... yin-yang symbol again) that can be called "the darkside" (lets go with the star wars terminology ). from that i have been coming to understand that this darkside is necessary because it cause the 'force' (god, whatever) to evolve.... it's just a balance. things appear like they are getting really really bad, but actually this is pushing the other side.... that is now is a time of massive consciousness evolution... it's huge and i think heads are waking up all over the place. so through the doom and gloom, the paranoia and the overt thought that "everything is fucked" i have come to a point of balanced understanding. now i look at the matrix, and the agents of the matrix and i smile.... and i thank them, because it's because of them that i am doing what i am doing and seeking my potential. if the world wasn't fucked why would i bother evolving?

i thoroughly enjoyed castanedas books. they too were some of my first spiritual books i ever read, having read most of them a couple of times even. i actually think the books were full of powerful knowledge. if one could look beyond all the strange stuff that appeared entirely fictional (ultimately though, who are we to decide what is fiction and what is not? have you got what you believe to be real and possible so grounded in this reality that you could never even conceive that such bizarre things could occur? well good luck to you trying to tear down the walls of the matrix and achieve enlightenment! cos that limiting belief is gonna ensure you never get there!) and looked to the central theme throughout which was the path of a warrior. bombs of knowledge. there might only have been one tiny little nugget of gold buried every 5-10 pages.... but it made it all the more fun because of it. whether the books were fictional or not. whether he ripped it off, or not. whether he had no spiritual attainment, or not.... is of no concern to me. i chase knowledge and knowledge only.... regardless of the source, there can be power hidden in words. i'm even beginning to find that humatons speak knowledge all the time even if they aren't aware of it.... it's just about learning to listen. if the universe is a hologram, then truth must surely be contained within every single element of it...... discerning that truth from the most seperate seeming part of the whole, is where the magic lies. besides... any of you meet carlos himself? i'll bag mantak chia because i actually met the dude and didn't like his personal vibration one bit..... but hey, i'm open to the idea that he could have been wearing a 'jacket' that is an intentional personality to hide who one is.

i concur. as i said.... responsibility.

so not true. mega-farming is a huge part of the earthly problems now occurring (yeah, i spent 3 years studying it at uni... so i got a piece of paper saying i 'know' about these things hahahahaha). there is abundant resources for everyone on this planet and probably a couple of billion more to boot. the problem is in efficiency. how much of the stuff we eat comes from another country? how many times does it have to be handled before it goes in our mouth? how many machines are needed? how much packaging? these are all UNNECESSARY resources that are being stripped from the land..... if we acted with increasing efficiency then EVERYONE on the planet would have sufficient (and then some) resources to survive abundantly. of course then we wouldn't have the lovely cesspool causing our growth that is occurring now.... oh, c'mon! us mightily evolved humans like to think we are SEPERATE from nature... that we somehow exist outside of it and our actions as an individual don't do anything. ANYTHING that causes damage to ones body, damages the earth. we are an expression of the planet, connected and not seperate. doesn't matter whether it's animal, vegetable or mineral... if it's harmful to us, you bet it's the same to the planet. if it's harmful to the planet, you bet it's harmful to us. it's all interrelated. a vegetarian who eats mass produced vegetables is doing just as much damage to the environment (and all the animals who live within it) as someone who eats the meat. there is no exepmtion from our actions, none. you really think so? you think the bugs don't have a role to play in the life-cycle of the plant? in it's natural evolutionary strategies? i'd love to think of an example that relates to humans, but we are so incredibly stupid so that any example i can give.... has so many exemptions that it's not even worth it. i'll give some anyway: spraying it with pesticides is akin to us humans washing our bodies with harmful cancer causing chemicals (although so many people do this and then wonder why they are sick that it's ridiculous). if people really got that what they put on their body is making them sick.... if they stopped for just a second and thought about it, who would willingly cover themselves in poison daily? unfortunately due to mass marketing, the brain dead humaton population never considers this and all scratch their heads and donate the money they could spend to buy decent products to crooked cancer research institutions. feeding a plant with fertiliser is akin to pumping a human full of anabolic steriods. sure he'll get nice and big (provided he does the work.... akin to the sun shining on the plant) but will he be good quality? no. his nuts'll shrink, wont be able to father decent kids and end up sickly and wasted away.... but we usually eat the plant before it gets to this point anyway. fertilisers make a plant grow big, fast.... but it's improperly formed and would be a retard amongst the natural grown community in the long run. rather than feel guilty, it's time for people who act like they care to actually take responsibility for their actions. guilt goes nowhere if you don't do anything about it. transformation from the inside out, or from the outside in.... but either way transformation occurs with taking responsibility for ones actions. it's all there, it's all taking off. that's the process of evolution..... we make the mistakes. the people who wake up and learn from them get the oppurtunity to evolve, the people who don't die off by the wayside. that's where we are at now, and it's gonna be a big jump to the next level...... it really is get on board or die by the wayside time now. i may seem harsh but this is what i felt inspired to write so i go with it. honestly i couldn't care less either way anymore.... i've built up the whole routine of watching what i put in my mouth, watching what i put on my body and i know the game so well that i don't need to care about it anymore. anything that happens to me i am 100% responsible for and 100% accountable for.... it's the first step in a long long journey..... and overall it's all just energy and it's all just evolution (or the massively long journey of experience back to the source). evolve or die.

a worthy opponent is one who causes us to grow. true, this does not in any way change their status from being an opponent. that's what the matrix is for us... a worthy opponent. one we need to battle in order to discover truth. i have come to realise that the battle is an internal one (at least initially - until one can move up to the level of sorcerer). what's happening as a result of the increasing cesspool planet earth is become? more and more heads, i think, are taking the plunge and becoming warriors.... because it's not hard to see that all of this garbage is just that, utter garbage..... the tranformation takes place with consciousness, then the vibration can be raised and all of these earthly problems... well they are nothing in the face of that! but i'm with you karen, i get what you say. two sides being manipulated by the same expert puppetmaster and all that. bush's government is talking about the environment and how they can solve it... and what's the solution being presented? nuclear! what garbage. and the worlds getting hotter, more trashed, etc... what's the solution? to throw up our arms in despair and become radical environmentalists? or is it to act on an individual level? to make the changes we want to see outside happen from the inside? on a physical level to support local organic growers.... to use non-earth harming products in every aspect of our lives (from cleaning products to cosmetics... it's all available)? to raise our own personal vibration and help lift it all up? i dunno.... but for me, the only thing left of any importance is realising my own full potential. throwing up my arms in despair is not worthwhile, fixating on the problems is not worthwhile.... only building my spirit and liberating my soul is worth anything.
