I've recently began questioning things instead of just accepting them. This gets me thinking, but so far I'm more confused than when I started. Well not confused but a little more aware. I was more comfortable when I thought I had things figured out.

One thing I'm pretty sure of is that our potential as a society is far greater than where we currently stand. I know that's not saying much, but since I see so much more potential in me as an individual, I cannot even fathom what is possible collectively.

Well I keep going in circles about how we can advance and become more aware as a society. This is before I've even done it myself. I think it's going to take obliteration of our society as we know it. You know all these preconceptions that limit us. Out the window. A lot of people will die. Get some new blood. I think going back to our roots could be good and seeing what happens from there. Perhaps we lose what we feel has been progress these past 10000 years. Well looking back on what I think is incomprehensibly possible, we may be destined to be underachievers if we continue to follow the current path.

Maybe what we have can be salvaged. I don't know, maybe this idea is kind of like saying fuck it and giving up. I honestly believe everything we've accomplished so far is fairly trivial. We won't be put in this situation by choice, but if it does happen, I think some good could come from it.

Until then I'll just focus on bettering myself and not let society get me down.

Have you seen "What The Bleep Do We Know?"

Well worth watching IMO.

The world you live in is a creation of your own making. If you only see the ills of society...thats all you see. There are many good things about our life today.

It is too easy to get caught up in the bad in other peoples lives while not concentrating on being happy in your life now

Turn the TV off and don't worry about the ills of society.
Focus instead on making your life the one you want.


--------------------
Live for the moment you are in now
Don't be bogged down by your past
Don't be afraid of what lies in your future

I feel you. Yeah my first post is pessimistic. There are a lot of things to be happy about. We only have one life to live. It's going to take more than 1 lifetime to see any remarkable change in society, but I can do my part and know that's enough.

"I've recently began questioning things instead of just accepting them."

cool,  it'll oscillate between the two throught life.

"This gets me thinking, but so far I'm more confused than when I started"

:grin:  yep,  same,  I don't know anyone who asks big questions that isn't confused.

now here's the deal, the more you notice, the more you are aware obviously  :sun:  now what are you going to do about it?  it's analagous to  the situation "if you win the lottery and know there's hungry people out there, what would you do?" 

will you keep this 'spiritual' money to yourself, or are you going to invest?  you notice things could be a lot better, that's the first big step. 

the next will be to find out why it could be better. This is where I disagree with you niteowl,  I think working on yourself is key, but work on the world as well. work on the inner and outer spaces.  I'm only using these labels just as a means of expression, it's all you in the end  :grin:

turn on the TV and look at whats wrong. 

Adverstising products that hurt other people and things (coca-cola, nike, kraft, pepsi-co, etc)  research why they are wrong!

research why there's enough food in the world to feed everyone, and yet there's huges famines all over!

look on the TV at what ads want you to do and how they seperate us in ideas.  look at TV shows that do the same.  look at the ideas behind the shows, and ask 'what are they really trying to convey to me and millions of others?'

pick something that you find that you can handle about the world, and fuckin go for it!  meet other people that are interested and passionate about what you are passionate about.  and don't forget to be calm and cool about this whole act of ours. We all need motivation, and if you can be there to help someone up. they'll be there to help you as well.  this is spiritual networking (just like this board)

there's an oil crisis coming our way in the next 5-15 years that will change the way all of us live, and I chose that as what to work on.  there's so much more to be done and so many people to do it!  it's fun, exciting, and most of all fulfilling.  if you need inspiration,  look at your shoes and know an 8 year old child is paid 30 cents a day to make your shoes.  or better yet, look at videos of bangladesh and see how horrible the conditions are for people over there, and feel them.  if your heart is compassionate enough, you will feel their plight and get a general idea of what must be done.

if you feel the change is needed, be the change that is needed.

Annnnnnd I had a light saber and my friend was there and I said "you look like an indian" and he said "you look like satan" and he found a stick and a rock and he named the rock ooga booga and he named the stick Stick and we both thought that was pretty funny. We got eaten alive by mosquitos but didn't notice til the next day. I stepped on some glass while wading in the swamp and cut my foot open, didn't bother me til the next day either....yeah it was a good time, ended the night by buying some liquor for minors and drinking nips and going to he diner and eating chicken fingers, and then I went home and went to bed.
