A CORNERSTONE

People can be like recreational drugs; they'll pick you up then let you down. I don't villainize drugs so why do I want to villainize people? In "doing as I would be done by" it is my ego that I have a problem with.
Some drugs let you down harder than others. It's difficult not to villainize them, but we can choose not to associate with them.
Obviously that is a metaphor and I have to realize that I am involved in a game when I feel pleasure when someone 'gets what they gave' in relation to how I was treated by them. This pernicious habit results in the vicious circle of 'Give & Take' in the Sado-Masochism Game.
There are no villains.

Perhaps we are just a neurochemical soup with a physical extension into the world.
Its a solid observation and realization when it comes to wanting to create your own life and destiny.
What are you going to do differently?

Everyone and everything is the same consciousness for me.
Basically where your born causes all your life experiences and from your life experiences arise all your expectations.
From your expectations of others and the external world comes all your suffering.
As far as I known I didn't have control over where I was born nor did anyone else. It might sound hard but dropping all your expectations can be done within a few months by always questioning what if I was in the other person's place or if you actually have any control over the thing that is happening. Is it happening to me or is it just happening?
The average person only thinks from their narrow point of view. "fucking piece of shit pulled out in front of me" But when they pull out in front of someone "what did you expect I had to go sometime?"

True. Still, there is that fucked over feeling that one gets when someone else seems to have "done you wrong". It is that angry, lingering afterburn that seems to hang on and hang on that makes us crazy miserable.
I have found only one way to deal with this phenomenon: Watch it very closely, as soon as I become aware of it, while at the same time daring it to "stay as long as it can and punch as hard as it is able". Then I just watch it...and, lo! before my ery eyes it starts to wobble and fade.
It is interesting to watch a feeling consciously with the intention of not taking your mind off it until it has completely died away. You don't turn you attention elsewhere so that it can disappear unbeknownst--as feelings usually do--but you track it relentlessly--and thus prove to yourself, once and for all, that these things are mortal, are defeatable, are not your masters, not at all.
-------------------- My father used to say: I don't care what else you do in life, just don't be an asshole. People, forgive me when I forget what my daddy said. Cut back the proliferating list of people whose opinions can hurt you. Unless they have done or want to do you some good, their views are just not worth tracking.

Corner stone is the idea of extending and stretching something to its natural limits..in this can we find the philosophers stone..which stretched and made into its proper shape from the nothingness of our mind..becomes understood and made to be immortal in our mind..as the fabric of peace and fitness...So that the idea of the survival of fitness..is things fitting in in their rightful place..and natural selection is the choosing of specific things..that Are indeed in the proper place so to speak!
