we had much less responsibilities....


That too. Yet I have few responsibilities anymore but don't wake up like a kid. Still that could have something to do with available energy.

You start off fresh like a loaf of bread right out o the oven. But as with bread maybe we get stale emotionally also. I remember a study done on bears in the wild. They found old bears to be cranky.

I feel ya man. When I was a kid my emotions were way different, the world was bigger and had a different impact to my perceptions. Now that I see things at eye level, I'm dissatisfied with objects and I've become dispassionate towards things. This is a sign of maturity. When we are young we cling to the outside, when we have seen the outside and become dissatisfied we look within.

Everyday i wake up i say "thank you". I feel as gratuitous as i possibly can. Just waking up is a miracle of life.

Of course if your feeling down, you could always be a 65 pound south african starving in 105 degree weather with no hope for anything called a life much less a sandwhich.

you're blessed.

What's the deal with that? Do you think it is God's plan?

yesterday i slept (meditated) at 4 p.m. or so
(reclined on my couch and focused on breath but still sleeping)
got up and ate at about 6

"meditated" again and the sleep came

went to bed at 7:20

got up at 9:49 because the birds were singing a bit too much for me to continue ignoring.

this is not normal but it is nice to be in that state where you exist but without boundaries or a firm ego. yet it would be nicer to push through to the other side, leave body, and learn. i did leave body but it seemed a bit cheesy.. a black man was in my bed, some sort of gathering of people in my house, the house i was dream sleeping in, but not the one i was really sleeping in

i went into space but there was a star wars situation going on with imperial ships.... aware that this was not the most pleasing or realistic of situations.

i made girls trip and fall over me and we had apple juice because i was some young child in some sort of cartoon like program who was a bit too young to know about sexual things...... i went to a concert.

how do these things and these very existent realities escape us so quickly? as soon as we are out of them it's like we were never even there....... yet the same can be said about the waking world.

i do not wake up enthused per se because these worlds are more entertaining, people are generally more than willing to spend time with me, its quick and easy to run into those i want to see, do what i wish, manifest what i wish, the downside is the realism is lacking generally

but i wake up and go back to sleep, and wake up and go back to sleep, and wake up and go back to sleep

i think i only wake up enthused if the sun is shining in my eyes but my apartment does not allow this, and it is most regrettable.

If you worry about waking up enthused, then it will never come to you.

It is my experience that we lose our enthusiasm as we age to the increasing number of our desires, both fulfilled and unfulfilled. As a child, there's so much to see, and we see it all without filters of money or power. But as you grow older, you start to see the world "as it is" (actually, how you're conditioned to see it) and some people start to worry constantly about their money, their family, their decaying bodies, anything in the world they've been unthinkingly conditioned to attach themselves with. How can you wake up happy when you have all that to worry about every waking moment?


--------------------
So long as you are praised think only that you are not yet on your own path but on that of another.

I dont know. I woke up today rather enthused. But maybe that had more to do with Afoaf's mushrooms fruiting.

Another friend told me a few days after that: getting old is realizing your dreams are dead and you've become useless but you try to stick it out anyhow. He gets up at 11 am and hates his situation.


Why try to stick it out? This reminds me of Buckminster Fuller's story: he was 40 maybe? I'm not quite sure; but he decided he was a screw up - his dreams were dead and he was going to kill himself. He walked out to the bridge and said wait - the average lifespan is 50, I have 10 years I could throw away, or devote completely to the rest of humanity. He made contributions of epic proportions with his inventions and ideas before he died.

Right. Worry becomes the pattern and lifelong patterns don't just float away at retirement. I watched my mother who hid much of her worry patterns go insane before she died. She became afraid of things she never even considered when she had more life energy. She was afraid of dying and so germs terrified her in the end. Everything did. All she could do was complain and worry about every single thing she had no control over. She died as she lived. In hell.
