How to deal?
    #7544677 - 10/21/07 09:18 PM (16 years, 3 months ago)

How do you synchronize the 'other' world with this reality? I'm having a tuff time being happy with working a bull shit job every day, and going to school hoping I can get a better one someday. I just want to LIVE. Work and school is too much distraction from being in touch with the spiritual side. Has anyone else EVER had this problem?

also, I like in Oklahoma city, and there's not too much stuff going on around here. Whats a cool place I can just find a job and move to? A place that's a little more open minded and not too industrial.

you should move to the beach
not right next to the beach
cause the houses right next to the coast are millions of dollars in CA

but in a condo or apartment in the inner city would be comfortable

I know what you mean. There was a recent thread in TPE on trippers vs non trippers. Divided_Sky made a post that described it pretty well.

Quote:

Divided_Sky said:
I think a big difference is that people who don't trip are often very absorbed into their particular game. They may be totally oblivious of how narrow and selectively constructed their reality is, which can make them seem like delusional or trapped in some strange waking dream. On the flip side though, the rigidness of beliefs, inflexible sense of reality and shared social systems they have also make for more effective, efficient and motivated people. They may be motivated to horrible, or just misguided things, but they play their role very well because they really believe in it. Also, with less awareness and thinking necessary they can make decisions better and relate to other people.

Using psychedelics can make you much more perceptive, empathic and have a better appreciation of beauty, form and patterns. It can connect you to a deeper reality, both higher into the realm of consciousness, and lower into the biological/evolutionary world. However, that can be isolating because other people cannot see what you see.

The downside of tripping is that when your reality becomes more flexible, and state becomes more objective your functionality in the human world decreases. You don't want to, or even can't play the normal games and you can see through all the social illusions. Alot of heavy acid users can end up blank or burnt out because they eroded too much of their personality away and are left adrift or ineffective. Or you can become impulsive which can be both good and bad. One phenomena is similar to what happens in old age, it gets harder to verbally articulate things because there is too much information to sort through and you feel retarded. On the other hand, what you do think and articulate can be more original and elegant than a non-tripper. I notice this in alot of psychedelic users, they will say incredibly witty and wise things interspersed with seeming dumb or spaced out. I feel this way too sometimes.

Oh, the good old city.

Quote:

Some years ago, the late Nobel prize-winning Dr. Albert Schweitzer was asked by a reporter, "Doctor, what's wrong with men today?" The great doctor was silent a moment, and then he said, "Men simply don't think!"

It's about this that I want to talk with you. We live today in a golden age. This is an era that humanity has looked forward to, dreamed of, and worked toward for thousands of years. We live in the richest era that ever existed on the face of the earth ... a land of abundant opportunity for everyone.

However, if you take 100 individuals who start even at the age of 25, do you have any idea what will happen to those men and women by the time they're 65? These 100 people believe they're going to be successful. They are eager toward life, there is a certain sparkle in their eye, an erectness to their carriage, and life seems like a pretty interesting adventure to them.

But by the time they're 65, only one will be rich, four will be financially independent, five will still be working, and 54 will be broke — depending on others for life's necessities.

Only five out of 100 make the grade! Why do so many fail? What has happened to the sparkle that was there when they were 25? What has become of the dreams, the hopes, the plans ... and why is there such a large disparity between what these people intended to do and what they actually accomplished?

THE DEFINITION OF SUCCESS

First, we have to define success and here is the best definition I've ever been able to find: "Success is the progressive realization of a worthy ideal."

A success is the school teacher who is teaching because that's what he or she wants to do. A success is the entrepreneur who start his own company because that was his dream — that's what he wanted to do. A success is the salesperson who wants to become the best salesperson in his or her company and sets forth on the pursuit of that goal.

A success is anyone who is realizing a worthy predetermined ideal, because that's what he or she decided to do ... deliberately. But only one out of 20 does that! The rest are "failures."

Rollo May, the distinguished psychiatrist, wrote a wonderful book called Man's Search for Himself, and in this book he says: "The opposite of courage in our society is not cowardice ... it is conformity." And there you have the reason for so many failures. Conformity — people acting like everyone else, without knowing why or where they are going.

We learn to read by the time we're seven. We learn to make a living by the time we're 30. Often by that time we're not only making a living, we're supporting a family. And yet by the time we're 65, we haven't learned how to become financially independent in the richest land that has ever been known. Why? We conform! Most of us are acting like the wrong percentage group — the 95 who don't succeed.

This tedious crap is something we all have to deal with. I think because our society consumes so much more than we have to, we have to work so much harder to maintain it than we have to. But as long as we live in physical bodys which have needs external to our own, theres always going to be stuff we have to do which we dont really want to.

Yeah, but we don't need 4 cars, a huge house or anything. I look at our needs as food, water, shelter. Isn't that enough?

Yeah i definately agree with you, and i think if we stuck to things we actually need we would enjoy doing the work to get them alot more. Like you could say that knowledge and exploration are important human goals, and people usually enjoy the pursuit of them even if its hard. Its when your working 9 to 5 five days per week for a shiney peice of plastic it starts to get to you.

Well, of course we have to advance technology. But it could be done much more efficiently if we weren't a species of materialistic assholes. Maybe we'd only have to work 10 hours a week on something genuinely needed.

Why not go work 10 hours a week, or whatever is enough for your essentials, and then live. Be happy. There is no reason to live for/as others, you might be the only one of us that actually exists.

This is workin for me...I'm only doing 10-15 hrs a week and it's actually perfect. You won't make shit but then you also break even - it's nice. Basically in the part time realm - money can't control you, because you can't afford it :rofl:

On the flip side though, Seattle has the 3rd highest cost of living in the country so I'm not super psyched to go back into the grind & hustle again. :banghead:
