How to love everyone

http://actualize.gaia.com — Sat, 28 Jul 2007 02:11:17 GMT

Orignally posted in a blog comment at: deMystic's blog
Blog title: Exploring Loving in Multi-dimensions

This is interesting and ties in with what I've been thinking a lot about lately.I'm 27 and have never been in what I would term a 'relationship' (outside of family) where two people are very close emotionally and love each other.Sure I've had 'flings' but the idea of actually forming a relationship with someone has always seemed somewhat alien to me, because it feels like I have to give something of who I am up, but to me that is absolutely out of the question.
I think it goes back to this 'limiting' idea.You see in one recent fling I had, the woman I was seeing admitted to me that she occasionally saw another man, but she promised that she was trying to end it and be with me alone.To be honest because I wasn't emotionally close to this woman and didn't love her, I wasn't emotionally hurt, but the idea of sharing her was an absolute no! no! and so when she failed to end it with the other man I ended it!
However I also didn't want to get close to this woman because of my attitude to relationships.In fact this woman, like any other I've had a fling with, never particularly interested me as a person.I specifically go for people who I know won't want to be with me forever.I got on with them ok, it was nice to spend time with somebody for company, but there certainly wasn't any special emotional connection, and definitely not love! After the physical stuff and having a drink and a laugh it was pretty much boring and empty, and I'd rather be on my own once that was done with.

I feel that their is a paradox and I'm not sure how to work it out.In one way I like the woman I am seeing to be mine alone phsycially, but then on the other hand I don't want to get close to them and form a relationship because I feel that I will then have to conform or make compromises.I watch a tv show where someone helps people find a new home.The person asks the housbuyers for their requirements, but then they always state: "you know often you'll have to make compromises if the house doesn't have everything you want".
When I hear that I think to myself "one should never have to compromise".If you can imagine what you want then it must be possible.I'm such an unlimited person in nature, and I detest the word "compromise".Perhaps though, forming a lasting relationship is kind of like building a new home.At first it may be everything you want, but then maybe you feel like changing the look of the garden or redecorating or adding a conservatory, etc.That's all doable, yet they do take some amount of physical time and work to make those physical changes.In that sense, as people are physical as well, maybe we should accept that we can have everything with one person, but also know as they're physical as well, then it also takes time for them to change.
Yet still it is different, because you can change a garden or redecorate, etc, and that is down to you.The walls or the plants aren't going to object.But with another person, perhaps they won't want to change.If I was with someone in a relationship and we got on really well and enjoyed the same things, then great.But if after a time I really enjoyed doing different things that they didn't enjoy, then would I have to compromise in order to spend time with my partner.That is the key thing.I'm always changing constantly, and so the idea of stopping that flow and compromising is like cutting off my life force.In order for that to never happen, as I've said before, I stay clear of forming relationships and falling in love.It's like to really know and love me me is not to know me completely yet still love me, but perhaps that is too much for some people to deal with.I always think that people want to pin you down, gift wrap you and say "this is my present and I can tell anyone exactly how this present acts and what they like, etc".People tend to get comfortable and not like surprises or change.I guess what I'm getting at is that you can be with one physical person as long as the connection goes much deeper that anything you can label.Essentially it is pure unconditional love.
"I love you, just because I do" is what I want to hear from someone I form a relationship with.And that is also the reason I will give to the person I am in a relationship with.I sleep with someone and generally spend more time with them because I find them physically attractive and we have a lot in common.If that were to change dramatically enough and if it caused distress, then of course splitting up is a possibility, but I will still love them just as much as I love myself and everyone else.I loved them before I met them, so why should I not love them now we have parted.I guess you've just got to give things a go and if they don't work out, then hey, so what!

If we take what I just said and put it into the multi level... (it should be called multi level, not multi dimensional, because for me dimensional means a different approach, and what we're saying here is the same approach (love) to different "levels", ie: levels meaning fo example, level 0: yourself, level 1: your family or partner, level 2: close friends, level 4: acquaintances, level 5: people you know through tv or youtube etc, level 6: people you don't know but who you see in the street, level 7: people you don't know of in any way, etc ) ....loving theme then we can see firstly we must look to how we love at level 0 (ourselves) and then not expect anything more than that from the other levels.If we can do that then we can truly approach all levels with the same degree of love (actually love is just love, it's either love or it isn't).

So let's look at how we love at level 0, ourselves! Firstly we can say that we accept ourselves.If we change our minds about things, it doesn't mean we stop loving who we are.If we find enjoyment is something different than before, we still love ourselves the same.If we have our odd habits or rituals or whatever, we're still cool with ourselves.If we act in a way that is silly, we laugh at ourselves and lovingly accept that we're eccentric.And on and on.So all one has to do is see how they accept themselves in so many ways (make a list as a reminder) and attach that same attitude to all the other levels.When we do this we can more easily have a physical relationship with one person (living together, sex, etc) because that relationship will work if it is mutually based on the love we have for ourselves, which in turn we project to all other levels.Again, love is just love, there isn't one type or another.It is just love! Should keep that in mind!

“Our character is what we do when we think no one is looking.” ~ H. Jackson Brown, Jr

It comes down to not letting any external labels or preconditions cloud things.The highest level and beyond tend not to bother us so much because they're more remote.But as we move down the levels and we come more into contact with people who have the opportunity to affect us with their presence, then when we see them acting eccentricly or oddly, or they think differently than us, we must recall that we accept and love ourselves when we act in that way.Basically, it's my drawn out way of saying: love others as you love yourself.
Thankyou for allowing me the opportunity of gaining greater clarity on this for myself.

Cheers!

What do women want?

http://actualize.gaia.com — Wed, 18 Jul 2007 23:42:40 GMT

Yeah, my first contribution to the questions and reflections section.Thought I'd start out with a simple one, LOL!

Oh and btw, fellas you're welcome to answer if you dare! Good luck! haha!

PS: What do men want? My answer: See the title! ;)

Cheers!

PPS: lol, I just realized how this q and r thing works.It seems the higher echelons of consciousness deem it is their duty to be the ones who ask the questions for the herd to answer here at zaadz.Well you'll just have to reach deep into your big hearts and understand when I say: All people on the path to being more conscious all have the equal right to ask conscious questions.Yeah I can submit a question so you can consider whether it is worthy enough.
But I know my question is worthy, I am worthy, I have as much right to exist and ask my questions as anyone else.So I'll just ask it! Please yourself how you deal with that!

"Teaching" feels good (part deux!)

http://actualize.gaia.com — Mon, 20 Nov 2006 00:37:54 GMT

I posted an entry called "Teaching Feels Good" back in March at my zaadz blog.From the responses it got, it certainly seemed to resonate with people.I had a new post in mind, and it reminded my of the old post, so I've decided to call this one "Part deux" lol!
In fact this post is pretty much the same as the first one.However I seem to have even more clarity on this now, so I am expressing it here.

This new post arises from my contemplation on the question of: "Have I gone the long way round? or did I need to do it this way? And if I needed to, then why?"
Don't worry, I will explain all :)
For the past year and a half I have been studying the teachings of Abraham Hicks, who I consider to be the greatest teacher.A year and a half has passed, and only now am I really allowing myself to fully utilize these powerful teachings to create the life I choose in every way.Frustration has been my dominant thought recently, as I have asked myself "why has it taken this long before I am finally making the move to actually create what I want?"
You see Abraham Hicks teach about the "Law of Attraction" and how your thoughts create your reality.They also teach about the Emotional Scale and how depression is very far from bliss, and that anger is an improvement from fear, etc.Abrahams teachings are really for everybody, because they cover such a wide spectrum, giving different processes to practise based on where we are on the emotional scale.

Now looking back I think to myself that I made too much of it, studied their teachings too much.You see I'm a naturally very buoyant person.Of course I can feel depression, and have done, even recently it can strike out of the blue.But it always passes very quickly, as I find that I don't have the strength or can be bothered to keep myself down for too long, lol! And I'll rant and rave when something pees me off, but I'm always laughing along with that too, ie: no real damage is caused.So yeah, virtually all of the time I'm right up there, feeling my natural state of joy.
Since studying Abrahams teachings (and probably before too) I have come into contact with several teachers who also teach about the Law of Attraction and how our thoughts create our reality.
Books such as Wallace D. Wattles "The Science of Getting Rich" and films such as "The Secret" are a couple of examples.I've also heard from individual teachers such as "Michael Losier" whose straight to the point and clear style I really appreciated when listening to him.
When listening to Losier, I would think to myself "This guys cool.He tells us to think about what we do want, and stay focued there.Such a simple style.No going on about emotional scales too much, or depression to fear and all that business."
And when watching the film "The Secret" it didn't really go on about the emotional scale too much.Instead it told us how we get what we focus on, ie: Law of Attraction.
This all resonated with me so much, and it felt so much easier and lighter than Abraham Hicks' style of covering every angle.Films like "The Secret" and people like "Michael Losier" really catered for my need to just know what to do, knowing that I am naturally buoyant anyway, so don't need to get from depression to fear and all that business.

However, having said all that, Abraham Hicks is the one teacher I have always stayed with, and the rest no longer really grab my attention that much, if ever.What I have found is that Abraham certainly does cater for buoyant people, who feel good most of the time.For example, one of their processes is called the "Magical creation box" whereby one just puts pictures of things one desires into a box and then focuses only on that, thus attracting that to them.How simple is that! As simple as the teachings in "The Secret" and Michael Losiers " focus on what you DO! want!"
I could have just stayed there, and attracted what I wanted straight away.A year ago I could have been reaping the benefits.But I didn't, I studied everything about Abraham's teachings.Why? Well because it was there! and so I thought and felt that I should!
Abraham goes beyond just putting things into a magical creation box, or teaching appreciation.They do this because they cater for everyone, because they know that their are some people who are held so far below the surface, who aren't buoyant, and they cannot feel appreciation for anything much.Or people who are in such despairing situations that it would never be enough for them to simply put pictures into a "magical creation box" and then say "there now, that's all sorted!"
As I read more and more into Abrahams teachings, reading processes like "which thought feels better?" and also hearing them talk about how moving from anger into frustration is an improvement, I wondered to myself "do I really need to hear all this? It all seems a bit too much.All these processes and moving up the Emotional Scale.I seem to be drowning in all of this, almost like gasping for air, for relief".

Recently this has been building within me more and more, this very strong desire to understand why I was Attracted to Abraham Hicks and not just to people like Michael Losier or many many other Law of Attraction teachers out there.
Why would a buoyant person such that I am spend so much time concerning myself with understanding processes designed for people who are depressed, or realising that anger is a step up from depression.The answer came to me last night, and reminded me once again of my blog post back in March.It's because:

"Teaching feels good! It really does!"

Contemplating this more, I wondered to myself: "what if I had just known about Law of Attraction? and what if I didn't know about the Emotional Scale and the call of source and everything else Abraham goes into.What would that have been like?"
Well I imagined what I would be like if that were the case.I'd go around getting everything I wanted, because I would know that Law of Attraction gets me everything I want.I focus on what I do want, and being my usual buoyant self, all that needing to feel good to allow ones desires in would be a done deal.
However, imagine what I would become like if only that were the case.For example, I would inevitably come across other people who weren't as naturally buoyant as I am, and I imagine that I would probably have been very impatient with them if they were depressed or frustrated.I'd say things to others like "oh cheer up for pity sake.Don't you know that all you have to do is have pure positive thought to get everything you could ever want".
Now of course having pure positive thought is a good place to be, but for some people that place is impossible to get to straight away from where they currently are.So I can imagine that I would end up upsetting quite a few people with my unsympathetic attitude.

You see, it's all totally selfish!

What I have come to fully realize, and what I was starting to realize in my previous "teaching feels good" post, is that I am just covering my back here, so that I can live a full life as a masterful creator.So in fact where I asked myself previously in this post: ""Have I gone the long way round? or did I need to do it this way? And if I needed to, then why?"
The answer to that is that I haven't really gone the long way round, because all of those teachings, understanding that others may be in different places to me, and knowing how to "react" to others, all of that is of total benefit to me! That time of studying has been of great benefit.
Instead of telling others to simply "cheer up" and thus getting a bad reaction from them, and therefore bringing discontent into my experience.Instead of that, I now know how to handle other people so that they do not interfere with me being me, and I now realize how to help guide them into a better feeling place, to allow them to move through anger and into frustration and onwards.For that reason, and this may be perceived as being conceited (so what!, lol), but for that reason I am exceptionally beneficial to those around me, to all who I meet.And in fact all the evidence from my experience has actually shown that I am only a benefit to those who I've met.
But, and I must come back to this, this is all to my benefit, it's all ultimately selfish.Earlier I mentioned the word "react".And that's how one teaches others, by their reaction to them.It's not about being a martyr devoting ones life to seeking out others and then helping them.It's not about attaching lead weights to the balloon and then unattaching them.It's about knowing how to release those weights when they attach themselves to your balloon.That's why Abraham Hicks says that: "you've got to let Law of Attraction bring your students to you".If you've got no lead weighing down your balloon, then there is no need to react to lead on the balloon is their! But like I said, because we live in a diverse Universe, inevitably lead will attach itself to your balloon.So you've got to react sympathetically in order to remove the lead and allow yourself to continue to soar.
All the teachers, the real teachers, are in fact just reacting to others in the best way that serves themselves.We just know that as "teaching".

And reacting to others in the best way possible (that which others perceive as somebody "teaching") feels good!

Cheers!

Orignally posted in a blog comment at: Oren98's blog
Blog title: NEW UPDATE!!!

“following our dreams regardless of our age, situation or place in the world.”

Yeah, totally!

I remember this news story I heard on the bbc: Chip shop woman, 98, awarded MBE
You know I absolutely love that story.Somebody who is just happy doing what they're doing, loving their daily routine and only considering how they feel about themselves.
It's like we're told:

Oh you must do this in your lifetime,
You're young, you should be doing this,
You should travel more,
Go out and see the world,
You can do better than this for a living,
Blah blah blah!

If you're happy then you're happy.Oren I dig the fact that although you have travelled to many places, you think it's cool that your bro is not travelling and you recognize that his dream (at this time) does not involve physical travelling.That's really cool.
And that's why I really buzz off people like Constance who basically just get on with what they dig doing.I bet she's had a more fulfilled life working in her chip shop than many other people have had doing all those things that other people have told them they should be doing.The evidence is there, in that Constance is 98 and still loves her 'job'.

Oren, your blog post reminded me of two quotes from two of my favourite teachers:

” Without opening your door,
you can know the whole world.
Without looking out your window,
you can understand the way of the Tao.

The more knowledge you seek,
the less you will understand.

The Master understands without leaving,
sees clearly without looking,
accomplishes much without doing anything.” ~ from Lao Tzu's Tao Te Ching

I think basically he's saying do your thing! You do your thing and I'll do mine.
Oren travels and makes films, Ronen writes his book from home, but none of you have opened the door.You're still living within yourselves, living your own dreams, just like Constance.”Without opening the door you can know the whole world” is a metaphor for “not living by and being guided by anything else other than the way you feel”.
“Without looking out your window you can understand the way of the Tao” is a metaphor for “not looking out to see what everyone else is doing to understand what you should be doing.”

Another favourite teacher of mine, Abraham Hicks, says something like:

“Maybe you wish to travel, so you get a map out and make marks on all the cities that you wish to visit.But at the end of mapping out your journey, you realise that your final destination is “Home”.But you don't think to yourself “well my final destination is home, and I'm already home, so I guess I'll just stay at home”.You go because of the thrill of the journey, because of the potential to experience things along the way and meet new people, etc”. And when you get back then you start to plan another journey, for the thrill of it!” ~ Abraham Hicks

What I get from all of this is basically that when we go with what feels good then we're living out our lifes intentions.Of course we live in a physical world and we see and hear things, but how we feel about them is what counts, not what we have been led to believe they are “this is good” and this is bad” or “this is a worthy occupation” and “this is a dead end job”.Working in a Chip Shop, Travelling the World, Writing a book from home, all the same thing when it's what each person really wants for themselves, what feels best to them.

“The sage is guided by what he feels and not by what he sees.
He lets go of that and chooses this.” ~ Lao Tzu

Choose this, choose you!

Cheers!

Automatic Intelligent Tagging idea

http://actualize.gaia.com — Wed, 04 Oct 2006 13:08:47 GMT

I originally posted this idea ages ago, here: Automatic Intelligent Tagging

------------------------------------------------------------------------

I guess seeing as though you’ve signed up to this idea as well, that you know what I’m talking about, lol.Only had to say that because I’m not even sure if this is what it’s called, so let me clarify what I had in mind:

People may forget or just don’t bother to add tags to their blog posts and photo’s, etc.So I was wondering if there is a way to somehow scan a blog post, checking the frequency a word is used, and then when a word shows up x number of times then automatically tag it.My thinking is that the frequency with which a word is used, often determines what the blog is about.

Also could you scan the blogs and then whenever a particular word shows up, ie: ‘Commitment’ then that is automatically tagged.The words that you deem necessary to be tagged would be a central decision and not down to the individual blogger.

This in itself is a philosophical discussion, and that is assuming it is even possible.Centrally picking the words you wish to have tagged when they arise, powers home our (those who ‘get it’) mission.However I think that needs to be balanced with what it is people are actually talking about.Of course they most likely will be talking about changing things for the better, etc, and therefore things will match up perfectly.

Choosing which words are to be tagged automatically will advance that core message, and fade out the type of blogs that are of no benefit (they won’t ‘spread’).
However the benefit of tagging just whatever appears the most frequently sure would help in the evolution of the community.Sure the real head honcho's here are bright people, but personally I see no better way of evolving and prospering than by using the collective’s power.

I suppose the question is: Do you know it all?

Personally I can quite comfortably say that I don’t, but I’ve got a ‘good idea’ ;)
I like to be on the leading edge, but I’m not naive.It’s about finding that delicate balance between allowing people to express themselves freely while encouraging them to express the best of themselves.How tagging is implemented will have a great impact in this area.

~ end

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Since writing the above I have actually come across a utility that allows you to add your text to it and it gives you a list of tag suggestions automatically.Unfortunately I can't for the life of me remember what is was called, lol.I'll get back to you ASAP!

Cheers!

EDIT: Just remembered, the tag utility is: tagyu!

Think about it.

"I appreciate it for the work that I did, and for people who appreciate it, and I know there's a lot of physicists who use my work, I don't need anything else".

"I've already got the prize.The prize is in the pleasure of finding the thing out, the kick in the discovery, the observation that other people use it - those are the real things"

~ Richard Feynman talking about his Nobel Prize during an interview with the BBC Horizon programme in 1981.

Oh man, superb! This is exactly! what I've been thinking about recently.More attraction! at work eh.
As I recently said in my blog post: Attraction! I've been really experiencing just how powerful a creator I am, even choosing bad things, just to know that I do create that!
After these experiences, I thought to myself:

When I create this bad stuff, and these bad experiences occur, of course I feel fightened or scared, to a degree.However, these days I am always aware enough to know I am creating it, so I get a buzz out of it, because I know I can change it whenever I like.It's kind of like when I heard a rollercoaster designer/engineer talk about his first ride on the rollercoaster called: Pepsi Max Big One
He said that with all his years of experience and knowledge, he knew that the structure and design was sound, he knew from the laws of physics that you wouldn't fall out of the seats.Yet even he, experiencing 3.5G's, and when falling 205 feet at a 65 degree angle travelling at speeds over 70 mph (see bottom pic in previous link, and also pic below), even he before descending had thoughts of “omg, ahhhh, nooo!!!!!!!!! ahhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!” ya know, basically he was somewhat scared, thrilled by it, lol!
In other words, he couldn't just sit in the coaster train and be totally emotionless, because in a way that would mean the ride didn't work.You see for a ride to work really well, to make certain that everyone else gets a thrill from it, the designer has to be thrilled from it too.

So when I read Seth's comment you shared with us David, I totally vibed with that.Taking the roller coaster analogy again, it's like we designed the coaster and we've been going around and around for ages, until we forgot about the laws, we forgot in reality all is well, and we started to believe that this was actually dangerous, ie: we became the passive passenger, the “audience”.We really thought (or at least moreso than the engineer did) that we could fall out of the train seats at over 70 miles per hour (mph).What I'm now feeling, regaining, these days is the designer/engineer/creator is reawakening in me again.I know that there's no danger.Sure, if I truly wanted to I could try and break free from the train seat and jump out at the top, in which case I would die.Or I may hit my head on something if I were to stand up instead of remaining seated.But, guess what, that's totally deliberate! and you really have to try because you're so safely strapped in.It's an effort, it's a struggle to do oneself any harm or attract bad things.When one is aware of this, life is just so unbelievably good! Or like Abe says we'll be: “inundated with indescribable joy”.

Enjoy the ride and the new twists and turns you create for yourself.

Cheers!

Blog title: Be Careful What You Wish For...

Ahh good, now that didn't take long: “What didn't take long?” I hear you cry, lol.
Well recently I have been recognizing that not only am I attracting into my life the essence of my thoughts, but the things I am thinking are an exact match in every way, every detail.Something happened last night that played out exactly! and I mean EXACTLY! as I had seen it in my minds eye, and that I had been creating with my imagination for a couple of days now.So since last night I've been wanting to find out if anyone else has this experience where everything plays out exactly! as you've declared you'd like it to be, and you're consciously aware of it.And lo and behold my friend MsCaprikell is there with a matching blog post.

The event and situation for me last night wasn't really a beneficial experience, in a way, though read on and see that it actually was very beneficial.What I mean is I created something bad! that led me to get into a bit of trouble, lol, and left me with a cut (mild!, flex is alive and well ;) to the face as a nice memento.Why did I create this situation? that I knew would turn out this way? To be honest I just think I needed it, just to know, ya know! Just to know that I know that I do create it all, absolutely!
Bad stuff doesn't just happen.So even though this situation wasn't very beneficial for my face, ie: the cut, it was in fact an amazingly! amazingly! beneficial experience overall.
I mean I'm in the position now where I've got that absolute knowing that I create it all.Bad things don't “just happen”.I believe that I had to live dangerously for a little bit, to push it and test it.The situation I got myself into could have turned out a lot worse, but I knew not to push it too far.Ya know I mean, I do like being alive!!! lol :D
And oh how good it feels to have this realization, this total confidence now that all those great things and experiences I am thinking right now! are on their way to me.haha! LOVE IT!

How this really works? It's attraction! What are the intricacies of that? Who knows.Perhaps we have to attract a solution.We make it all.Maybe I am God and I sort of just came down to this level for the fun of it, the experience of it.As I am thinking now, I'd want your reaction to be “you're not God, and so we're not going to build a temple in your honour, sorry flex!”
And ya know, that's cool! don't worry about it, really.I want you to tell me I'm not, so you will tell me that.Because although I could attract that scenario into my life where 'everyone thought I was God and they all worshiped me' well to be honest that's not really my cup of tea.
I mean I think I'd get rather bored with that.I prefer anonymity.But who knows, perhaps one day I will decide to declare myself God and have everyone worship me.I'll have to reassess how I feel about it later on.

Hmm now what do I want to experience next.Ahh decisions, decisions……:D

Cheers!

And another (genius idea, that is! :D )

I know I know, I can't help myself! hehe :D

I've not done much blogging lately.However I am subscribed to many other zaadzsters blogs, and I do make comments on them regularly.Therefore my idea is to start blogging the comments I have made elsewhere, and then link them to the source blog from where it was originally posted.This can also be done with blogging pod posts you've made or book reviews, etc.

My thinking on this is that it will help to connect more of us, that "common thread" theme, ie: If you're subscribed to and reading my blog, then you're interested in me and what I've got to say.And so what I'm interested in and commenting on is likely to also interest you.Simple!

Of course if you wish to join the conversation, it's entirely up to you whether you reply to the source blog or to the commentators blog.

Cheers!

Yet another aweseome idea from a genius creator! (ME! :D)

http://actualize.gaia.com — Wed, 02 Aug 2006 11:17:11 GMT

I just posted this idea over at the "Think" tank LOL! : Profile redesign

Here it is reposted:

Hi.Some of my posts in the thinktank have received no replies.It'd be nice to get a reply to this one, because basically it is awesome (like the others) and if you don't listen to it and implement it then ken wilbers head will explode (or something).Aha, I think I have their attention!

Well, anyway, the idea is to change how the profile page is shown.Well the idea is to have the friends list down the bottom, and the “Things user loves” to the left or right (where the friends list currently is).

Why? Well to be honest I'm more often interested in what peoples interests and loves are than who their friends are.And should I wish to see who their friends are, then I could just scroll down.But what I'm actually interested in, is situated on the bottom half of the page, meaning that I always have to scroll down.Seeing as though the whole width of the page isn't currently used anyway, I see no problem in fitting the things people love area next to the right or left of rest of the profile.And also it's really annoying not just to be able to see my own loves and interests without having to scroll down the page every time (17” monitor btw!!!!).Like I say I'm more interested in all of that at first sight than seeing who's online or what pods I'm in.

Cheers!

Yes I know, your thinking "what an awesome idea flex.That makes so much sense and works really well! I think you've touched on something important here."

Why thankyou! for the acknowledgement.Sometimes I even surprise myself.Well, nearly!

Cheers! :D

I'm weird and I fucking love it!!!!!!!!

Recently I've been having some run-ins with a family member, who for some reason (probably because they hate themselves) takes it upon themselves to try and get the rest of my family to hate me, by spreading lies about me.The thing is, they actually manage to always do this and lo and behold I end up looking like the bad guy, even when I haven't done a single thing wrong.The rest of my family (bless their little hearts) are seemingly blind to the fact that when this vicious, spiteful family member isn't directing them to, the rest of the family and I get on really well together.It's as if she can flick a switch in them to make everyone hate me.Quite clever perhaps, but moreso, pathetically sad.

This family members most common theme is to direct everyone else to the fact that I am completely weird.Now for zaadzsters reading this, I may not seem very strange or weird at all.And from your perspective you'd be right.But there are non-zaadzster like people in the world with such tiny little minds that anybody considered acting out of the norm and *shock horror* thinking for themselves, is considered a complete weirdo.

So considering that I've pretty much had this attitude from these types of people for most of my life, and realizing that they're still there, it would seem helpful to see the positive.And the positive is obvious.The positive is what I now constantly appreciate.It shows that life is all about perspectives and the attitude you take to things.My attitude is one of appreciation, for everything and everyone, and most of all for myself.My little mantra goes like this:

"The great thing about being considered a weirdo by others, is that you can act in a completely weird and strange manner and nobody bats an eyelid.It's what they expect.It's like being given a mandate to change the world.Superb! Oh yess!! Thankyou!!! Lord! :D hahaaaaa!"

Oh dear, with all this self appreciation, I do hope I don't have a contrasting nightmare tonight about being: "normal" :O

Well whatta ya know, the zaadz Ambassador package finally reached the planet Zod *cough* I mean England :D

It's great, I LOVE it! Thankyou!!! It felt so good to open up the package, and it filled me with such a sense of appreciation.But it's not so much the magazines (no WIE btw) or the awesome flyers, or even the T-SHIRT!!!!!! (wahey I finally have a zaadz t-shirt "can I die and go to heaven now please?").Also it wasn't so much the books, not even the books called LOVE that did it.It was just the love that excuded from the box as soon as I opened it.For a moment there it struck me "a world ruled by love now wouldn't that be a good thing" :)

zaadz is a special place and I'm glad to be a part of it.To be an Ambassador of zaadz is even better.

I have ranted about certain things now and then, but that's only because I care about them.I know that's hard to take for a few timid ego based souls who take it all personally, as is the case with most of my rants (suggestions) being completely ignored.So I will rant when I am angry about something and I will appreciate when I feel in love with the world.Today I am especially appreciating zaadz for all they do and for having faith in me as an Ambassador.

And anyway, the world wouldn't be the same without me.Go on admit it, you LOVE IT! Someone who just tells it like it is, says what others wish they had said or had the balls or audacity to.Someone who won't settle for second best, especially in himself or his friends.Genuine, authentic, loving based, intelligent and one who follows his good feeling vibes.What else do you need to change the world.You should be thanking me for joining you! hahahaha! :D

Cheers!

A little survey

Out of personal interest, I'd like to know whether zaadz is your 'internet home' or not.Is zaadz your homepage, and is it where you spend most of your online time in any one place?

Thanks!

Edit: Hmm what an omen.I'm currently trying to post this but it tells me there's an 'error.'

I'm off to the shop for some ciggies.Back soon.Miss you alreaaady!!!! :D

Edit: I'm back.And hallelujah, it now lets me post! :)
