How do you live with "sheeple"
    #8596479 - 07/05/08 01:43 AM (1 month, 16 days ago)

I cant blend in with these fucks anymore. How the hell do you guys do it? See, I have dropped the ego, I literally feel like I am going thru Bill Hicks mode. The problem is that, everyone who I want to talk to, is living a lie, weather its the job, or the religion. And I have 10+ years studying to prove it. I spent 0 energy talkign about college and how I will have this job and I will get this car, I took that energy, and read 234234234 books, went around the earth, talked to many many people, listened a gazillion times where I shut my mouth and listened and observed.

So here comes so and so friend, hey want to go to a party? Hey bluntdreams what a beer? Come one man just drink mannnn!!!

Me: Uh come on man you know I only smoke weed....(I have a reason why alcohol is a POS and blocks the mind)

Now if I talk like this with people they will hate me, think I Am cryptic, I fucking hate this life because of these fuckers. I dont even hate on George Bush and Halliburton and Monsanto and the rest. Those fuckers knows whats up! Its these other fucks in society who live a fucking joke life.

I swear its time to get a tent and live in the wilderness and see if I Can continue my journey and have an event or new knowledge by being by myself for a while.

I CANNOT GO BACK TO being an ape , I just fucking cant do it.

For example, friends who think its cool to spend money and time just to get some pussy from a chick. Its so fucking illogical how much time and money they put into the chick to get her pussy, yet they have no feelings or connection. The ape will really tell me that "dude just say yea yea uhuh ok ok to what shes saying, and shell be cool and make some moves on her"

See I like pussy, but not to the point where I have to be a fake man. See THATS WHAT THE WHOLE THING IS< I AM NOT FAKEEEEEEEEEEE YOU WANT TO TALK ABOUT 50 cent, or your job which is a lie, and you ...


GUYS HOW THE FUCK DO YOU DO IT? all i think about is getting out of this dimension, and people think I am crazy.

I'd say he sounds like just as much of a douchebag as his supposed friends. A different kind of douchebag, to be sure, but still douchey.

To be honest, you do sound pretty full of yourself. I can certainly understand being frustrated with people though.

what ever you see is following or trailing something else.
try not to be too upset with sheeple
you are one too
no matter how hard you try to avoid it.
the positive thing you can get from this is to understand the way of finding new paths, so that when the herd is roaming, it roams in nicer fields.

You have to find/learn a way to articulate your ideas and viewpoint within the ego game, imo.

Good advice, if you cant learn to do this you may as well live in a tent in the middle of nowhere for real.

Try to see past that stuff. even though you may have some point. Just because people are that way doesnt mean they arent good ppl.

Not everyone has been blessed with your amazing self analysis

I agree.  I feel we are all good people.  Just some are more honest about who they are and some are completely full of Bullshit.  Some a complex blend that is like Bullshit3:mushroom2:

I find that people with healthy egos are more fun to be around.  But the game gets to be draining.  And I still have a thing for the female innocent shyness but really need everyone I'm around a little bit more attached to the natural ecology of the planet and themselves as ONE.  Even though this place is so fucking Hollywood its a bit fuckin ridiculous.

Like this:  You stop judging.  You stop making other people out to be inferior in your head.  You stop resenting them.  You let them do their thing.

Let the world be the way it is, and don't waste your energy or sanity insisting that it fit your own ideals.  It's just not gonna happen no matter how 'right' or how genuine you are.  Redgreenvines hit it on the head: everything is following something else, you are not different, you are not a special case.

You are an ape, like the rest of us.  Every one of us is the same.  We all bumble around doing these two things:

1) Trying to fulfill our desires
2) Trying to avoid suffering

...and the only way we differ is how we do those two things.

Sorry to bruise your ego but you haven't dropped the ego yet, otherwise all this would not bother you.
Ego complains, egolessness embraces. This is how i know i haven't fully dissolved this idea of ego in me as i still get irritated by other people at times, it passes with insight but it still rears its ugly head now & then. I feel where your coming form dude, but like your saying drop the ego & wake up!
Sometimes i hate all this bullshit that goes on in the world, all this pain & suffering & pointless hate, but when ive dropped the idea of ego i love all of it, every excrutiating second.

Its actually hilarious, the ego bitches about it.
Emptiness laughs in the face of adversity as it knows its all an illusion.

Yep.  I've been in the OP's spot before, and I understand where he is coming from.  There is a lot of controlling going on in the original post, which is completely egoic, even if a more subtle fashion.  Sure, maybe you've peeled back the onion a little more than the folks you are upset with, but not everyone follows the same path as you.  You are following the blatant "hey, I'm spiritual on a spiritual path aiming at a spiritual goal".  They are on the subtle "hey, we are all on the spiritual path whether you or we recognize it or not." 

The realization needed is to understand that there is absolutely nothing wrong.  Reality is as it is, without morality or ethics involved.  You put right or wrong there, projected through your own interpretations and perceptions. 

Things rarely ever seem to go the way I plan or forsee them, so I quit planning.  Reality doesn't align with my desires all of the time, and when it does, it doesn't last.  Give up that game and relax.

oh btw, living in the wilderness sounds like a crazy idea to me. But getting a tent and a backpack and some supplies and hike into the wilderness to stay there for a couple of days is quite something amazing I imagine. Bound to be a thought provoking experience.

Something I'll try myself soon. I occasionaly go into the woods for a single day. Taking long hikes. And even then it's an amazing feeling to be a couple of hours walking away from the nearest town. Gets me really thinking about society. And not just about the bad, but about the good parts as well..

It definitely sounds as though your awareness is growing and expanding in wonderful ways. IME, the bird of freedom (Free Bird!!!) needs two wings in order to fly: the wing of clear awareness and the wing of loving-kindness, for yourself and for others.

I agree, but they've obviously caught a glimpse beyond the mask of society. Things will be confusing for a while once those wheels start turning.

Ego will do anything to hide itself, and when it knows it's been found out, it gets crazy with the self-justification.
