I don't see any reason why we couldn't have much more equality in the amount of opportunities available for people. What would need to change is the fear of scarcity (death anxiety)in the human heart. Not really the fear (that may always be there to some degree) but the way we react to it.




I'm pretty sure if a person knew their actions warranted a less than desirous future experience then that would be enough cause to delay death for as long as permissable.

Know what you mean.
I grew up in a family with money.
I tried so hard to get away from that mind set
but it doesn't work, for me, without money.
I feel extremely fortunate to have had financial backing through college and to have further education paid for.
I had time to soul search because of money, period.
Hate to say it, but in this world...
$$ is opportunity.
Sucks.
Full circle.

However, good ideas are priceless it seems.
Open season??

What needs to change??
How people think about money, how they make it, and how they spend it.
And, the way people think, honestly.
"You only see what you believe."

Damn these fuckers got it figured out.

I wanna hear.
I majored in audio.

Lately I have a thing for gritty political hip hop over emo/indy rock guitar melodies with super dirty/heavy beats.

Hip hop??
Dunno.

can we really ever know if there are other opportunities available to us? the only opportunities we know we had are the ones that have been manifested. so are we really making one happen over the other...or is there only one way that it must be?

i guess i would like to believe that there are many opportunities....makes me feel better about life. but i still can't let go of the fact that it isn't necessarily truth.

What can be changed is the example we set.
Believing in freedom is what empowers the individual, making him able to see more connections and the multitude of outcomes that one single action can have, now that he’s no longer restrained by fear.
What happens with those unable to manifest themselves freely and make their situation better, is that some of them don’t even believe in independence anymore. They become so paralyzed by fear that they keep on losing from personal power more and more. And there are cases in which, by simply acknowledging the fact that freedom and strength are still out there, one could be able to get more out of reality, make better speculations and look for alternative ways in which they can attain their independence.
It’s really interesting to realize how everything in one’s world is so strongly influenced by how one thinks and feels about life. When one becomes aware of the symbiotic nature of existence, he automatically becomes more creative and more open to the subtle influential factors, which in extent will make him able to be more skillful in manipulating his circumstances, with the tools he already has at hand. :mushroom2:

And never known your face
All this time I've missed you
And searched this human race
Here is true peace
Here my heart knows calm
Safe in your soul
Bathed in your sighs
