Tannis makes me want to be a better person. I think I will be from now on. I can be good and bad, but when it comes down to it, i would much rather be good...

i'm stuggling wit the the same dillema; live in a shack in the woods or stay in society, because i do want to mean something for the world.
but beginning with yourself will perhaps help stimulate the human (spiritual)evolution.
good luck

I speak only the truth to anyone that I talk to. I treat everyone as if they are my own best friend. I give everybody a chance to open up to who they really are and share their true intentions. Everything that you do to make this world a better place is pointless if we can't all grow closer as people.

I feel it is my duty to spread information even though it may be not the whole truth and certainly not a lie or trick. the truth will come on that so contreversal judgement day, which i think will come at different " Times" for each of us, since they are telling of the astral demension merging with the physical more and more all the time, hence we all arrive at the same place but from different planes, lol, depending where you are in your ascension process.

insanity with a plan, a plan to stop exercising truth as compared to breathing thin air, but to experience truth as all there is to experience, for what do i not already have that exsists? All i can do is enjoy the ride.

Broad and tough question to answer, especially since I don?t know you?but here?s my take.
Firstly let me say that by merely asking this question, you are moving in the right direction. Whatever course you choose in life, has to be correct for you. Stay true to yourself; don?t follow a course just because someone else tells you it?s right.
Now that may be something as extreme, in current society?s view, as retreating to a mountain-top and meditating your days away. The positive energy created would certainly benefit mankind.
Or it could involve making a shit-load of money and donating large sums to a worthy cause (AIDS prevention or treatment in Africa comes to mind).
My compromise involves treating people with love, practicing yoga and meditation, and an occasional entheogenic experience.

To make the world a better place?
When I talk to people, I decide what they're not happy about, and try to reassure them in a sincere way. If it's their looks, I try to make them feel attractive, or at the very least try to never make reference to their so-called unattractiveness. If they're "having a bad day" I say, "oh you just got all of your bad things out of the way today. The rest of the day is going to be great". Also, I try not to complain that much. I try to "suffer in silence" as much as possible. Although I can't help but let it all out on people sometimes.
I don't know there's a whole lot of things I do to help make the world a better place, but I do know this:
Whatever you give to someone else, you give to yourself, because to give something means that you have that. The universe is a big copy machine, and you're telling it that you have whatever it is that you're giving away.

I am never having children. The world is overpopulated already, getting near to a lack of farmland, for the amount of technology availabe. I am helping chinese immigrants gain citizenship in the u.s.. I am trying to change the government policy on international grant funding. I am trying to promote and support the green party. I am trying to eduate myself, and others about the truth. I am trying to live in harmony with each creature in this earth. I am searching for cures to harmful diseases. I am studying ways of creating a univeral language, a "common language" a language that all people can speak to each other, while retaining their own. Finally, I am trying to find ways of peacefully removing my wife and family from jail. Where they were sent for drug consumption.

Your talk and actions are not in alignment. Insulting someone is hardly reassuring in a sincere way.

Yes, it would be a good thing if you got
away from modern society for some time.
You would have a remarkable outlook on the
world and I bet that would help others (assuming you eventually
re-entered society). That kind of life is rare. Can you actually do it
though? It depends how isolated you mean. And you have to do it
for at least seven years! j/k Seriously though I love the idea. I wish
I had the guts to do it myself.

I removed myself for about a month before, It takes some getting used to, no radio, no tv no books, only a bunch of plants, and a buddha statue. I think I learned more about spirtuality in that short time period then in any other perioid in my life.

nugsarenice-
What's the story behind your removal from society? Did you live in the middle of the woods or what? How could you afford to take that time off? What did you eat and what did you do to past the time? I'm really interested in doing this so I'd like to hear about your experience.

Well, it was about 2 years ago, and I rented the back of a house in the country part of my neighborhood, none of my friends knew where I moved. I did'nt have a job, and the aparment cost me 400 dollars a month. I did'nt have any money or belongings, so the only thing that got moved in with me was my bed. So basically I just sat around for a month doing absolutely nothing, I had just finished a 3 month acid binge, so I did'nt need any drugs to be fucked up, I was just seriously burndt. I did do alot of meditating in the woods, and I did find alot of good plants in the forest surrounding my house, and a couple times I just walked along some of the main roads, and people would pick me up, and hook me up with psychadelics, so I guess this was'nt a complete farm sustaining removal, but it was very close. I got to the point where just lighting a stick of incense to buddha would be a complete spiritual enlightening experience, I mean within that time, I was understanding and searching out many things, and the smoke was my guide so to say. i Know now, burning a stick of incense would not be the same as it was at this time. As far as food went, I had a large stock of oatmeal, and smack (32 cent soup) you see why that call it smack! plus other groceries. But eventually, I realized that life was worth living and I went and got a job.

Also, I felt my meditating had worked towards world peace, I felt that just because I had meditated so well, and thought of so many peaceful solutions, that the world would just stop fighting, and come together in peace. But meditating does not solve problems, being does'nt, rather doing does. That's one thing I learned during this time. The whole prelude to this event was me reading a book of Ram Dass, which I will moderatlely reccomend, but it turns out most of his philosophy is wrong, at least regarding eastern philosophy, he suggested things in his books, that are not in line with the spirituality he was trying to promote. Buddhism.

I cannot give any personal advice as i am still searching for my true purpose. I can, however, offer some advice from a great man. Someone who gave humanity a great gift and who is still opening hearts and minds long after he passed on.
