People stuck in "sperm mode" 3
#19031917 - 10/25/13 04:21 PM (10 years, 3 months ago) |

i feel as though many people are stuck in what I have dubbed "sperm mode." these people see life as one big competition. they are constantly chasing the "egg." the egg takes many forms to them (material goods,appearance,money,status) much of todays younger generation is spinning their tires in this mindframe. terms such as "fail" "winning" are great examples if this sperm-like outlook.
these sperm-people have failed to understand one universal truth, a beautifully all encompassing truth: life is the reward!!! we all made it! sure we used to be in competition with the other sperm, but we ALL WON! we all made it to the promise land. i wish people would shed their tails and become the humans that they are. proud,divine,loving, eternal beings. no winning or losing, just being. peace.

I agree completely, very well said. The meaning of life is to live! It shouldn't have to be overcomplicated and have a "goal" like many people believe. Like you said, the true reward is life itself and this existence. I also think that people should be less reluctant to spread love and compassion to others. This world needs a lot more love!!
Thank you, brother!

Sperm mode but life ends up being a cosmic BJ
Could be mouse mode... Chasing the cheese Or cat mode... Chasing the mouse Or...
I totally agree with what you are saying... Modern society and especially capitalism
People always 'want' something which they feel will make them happy But really, they need to be happy THEN figure out what they want
The full mouse mode... Eat before you shop
People need to stop and smell the roses... But not want to own the roses Smell... Experience.... Just Be

to many chemicals floating around the air, water, and food to be content with anything..
to many frequencies affecting peoples brains to be content... thanks to tv, video games, certain (if not all) music, oh and uhh...just being born a slug and wanting to either remain a slug or grow some strong muscles and bones makes it harder...takes money to....well lets face it..
you CAN live without money but having that cheap gym membership, spending money on food and clothing is much more efficient than killing your own beetles to create dye... killing your own deer for sport/food...not food every freaking day.. but i guess knowing the food we get comes from somebody else doing the killing..but also pumping them with hormones and feeding them corn and other bs to fatten em up..
the bottom line is this..
FUCK...OTHER..PEOPLE...
IF YOU KNOW THE ANSWER.. RUN WITH IT..
FUCK...OTHER PEOPLE...
IF YOU KNOW WHAT IS RIGHT...FEEL ACCOMPLISHED...FEEL BLESSED...FEEL LUCKY...
DON'T WORRY IF JOE AND JANE SMITH ARE CLUELESS...
The thing about happiness is there are NO shortcuts..
obviously YOU aren't happy if YOU LET OTHER PEOPLES LACK OF INTELLIGENCE, OR ENLIGHTENMENT GET TO YOU..
REMEMBER..
SMELL THE FLOWERS.. DONT OWN THEM.
There is NO right or wrong way to live...
SURVIVAL OF THE FITTEST...BITCHES.

you "think" you are... maybe you have everything you "need" as of now... but you gotta keep "working" to maintain...
go a few weeks or months without a job or paying bills..then we'll see how content you are..
go be a contestant in ninja warrior and win... bet you aren't strong enough.. even if thats something you don't wanna do in life, I bet you could be more "content" or "happy"

Hey I was intending to write an article for my website about something roughly similar to this, but I didn't think up the term "sperm mode." Can I use it? It's a brilliant metaphor. No worries if not.

Those people that have the competitive fire inherit in their actions, those who are always seeking to discover someone with whom they may "clash" perse, those, indeed, wishing for others to acknowledge their request for a challenge and will go out of their ways to pursue an invitation to be joined into a challenge in which they had no competitors worthy of being near such a mighty prophet, as if the fact that a prophet much more important than yourself feels degraded by the sheer fact that you think you are able to surround yourself around him without thinking of the consequences of your action.
Indeed, certain people are prone to discussing how to take someone out of the picture in order to gain their own advantage to dispel them from trying to rid you of your initial request. For we may indeed see that many people wish to ignore those persons who are so intent on challenging anyone whom dares to defy the imperial command of a Roman military adviser.
Since we are going to be engaged in war with the French, and indeed knowing this the likely possibility we might wish to abandon our former troops and recruit new ones to join the rank and file of one so high above us. Some troops will obviously be "thrown out" of the camp and no longer be acknowledged as anyone you wish to have on your firing team on account of the realization that yours far surpasses theirs and you no longer would ever dare regard them as a serious contender against such a great person.
I agree that there are certain people that naturally are so intent on starting a fight that you can see they have none of those gentle traits which are so admirable in someone. They usually won't even invite you to go to their house, as if you even desiring to invite yourself to his house was some harsh offense that you neede to be punished for. So whenever you tried to gain admission into a house you were no longer wanted at you would see that the person that owned the house sold it to a Russian farmer three years before you originally even received the invite and would conclude in an air that would evidently point to the fact that the person in command knew exactly how to act in this situation.
For sometimes we will be denied every opportunity to attain an invite to a house which we should never dared have entered, and despite our numerous attempts to "persuade" someone to talk to the owner of the house in order to try to make him give you one which you knew deep down you didn't truly deserve, would, indeed, make it apparent that the person you persuaded also may have wished to gain an invite and thus would make you feel as if you weren't alone in that "you needed to be here".

True.
Most here do not get the fact that neither the OP nor anyone else won a sperm race, but was the outcome of the race plus time plus a zillion other factors. This is a huge difference and not semantics.
This is akin to people saying that someone was lucky to be born a specific gender in a specific country. It doesn't make sense because there are no people in a pre-birth waiting room spinning a roulette wheel to choose what country they will be born in.

The culture that I won is incredibly dumb. I'm still struggling to find something worth looking at. So many omnipotent idiots had far too much control over my reality, non of them had any decency to notice their own incompetence so they never cut any slack. My own incompetence seems to be the only thing worth looking at. I read a shit ton of shitty books to figure that out.
There does seem to be some genuinely sustainable faith, optimism, focus and passion in my life now. Guess this was inevitable.

It is an apt phrase, not because the egg takes the form of material goods and appearance but because those things have been known to lead to sex. In that game winners are procreating, not being procreated. Life as a reward is a subjective metric and it would be just as correct/incorrect to suggest that some other metric is the reward.

what you speak of resembles an imbalance in masculine and feminine energy. its a shame!
yes, add this one to the big book of endless neuroticisms/complexes/games/entrapping thought-behavioral patterns that living in ego results in
thing is, all but one who is a buddha/completely transcends consciousness (i wonder what that entails?) is free from their own complex, their own game. you have one, i have one. the question is, how free are we from it? how identified are we with it?

brilliant connection rahz. this kind of thinking is a great example of how more abstract ideas manifest themselves on more practical terms. the very nature of the masculine energy has to do with penetration, with reaching the egg. thus those with excessive/overcompensating masculine energy will be stuck on/fixed with aspects that ideologically get them closer to the egg, in better standings for procreation.

Thanks Apeman. I've been feeling pretty down on myself for all my of past/present failure in achieving success. This does make me feel better. Sometimes I just need to be reminded that life is beautiful and each day on earth is a reward. Need to focus on being happy with the things I have instead of what I don't have, and place more value on relationships not things.
Probably helps this outlook that I had one of the most beautiful/ecstatic DMT experiences of my life last night, but hey :P
