Guest guest Posted April 14, 2009 Report Share Posted April 14, 2009 I am so,so angry and can't stop crying and it went on most of the day today.Maybe, there are no trustworthy people out there,i don't know! As you all know,i've been busy looking for another apartment since January and so far i've seen about 15 apartments and for a reason or another,i liked none of those.Last week on Friday,i went to see a duplex and i liked it and i wanted to put a deposit on it but the owner said that he trusts me and that he will talk to his attorney on monday for the lease and so it began.My anguish that is!I waited until 4pm on Monday and no phone call,so i called him but he said that he didn't talk to his attorney yet.Today i called again but got a voicemail and told him that i needed to find out if he wants me as a tenant or not because i need to look for another apartment if not.I've lost all faith,all i want to do is curl up in some corner somewhere and die! love,nicole Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted April 14, 2009 Report Share Posted April 14, 2009 I think you need patience. My Grandma use to tell me that all the time. She also would say that not everyone on the planet was on my timeline. LOL. Personally, I would talk to a realtor. If you can afford to rent you can also buy. Realtors also rent out places. You could get a whole house in your price range. Remember, everything is a blessing in disguise. Another saying of Grandma. ntaroiu <lsirca Sent: Tuesday, April 14, 2009 6:49:35 PM I have lost all faith in people!

Guest guest Posted April 14, 2009 Report Share Posted April 14, 2009 Hi Nicole, I also know how hard it can be when you have such simple expectations of people which are very important for you. The only advice I can offer is that people are generally dealing with their own egos and thus they care little for the happiness of others, especially if they do not know them. Who knows what is going on in his life. Perhaps he is very busy and didn't get around to calling the attorney, or maybe he is just lazy. Please don't let some stranger's lack of diligence get you down, everything will be alright in the end -Gabriel PS: Don't call him too often, most people don't want to realize that their actions can be so important to others. If they did they would feel very bad for all the times they've let people down and most people are not ready for that responsibility! , " ntaroiu " <lsirca wrote: > > I am so,so angry and can't stop crying and it went on most of the day today.Maybe, there are no trustworthy people out there,i don't know! > As you all know,i've been busy looking for another apartment since January and so far i've seen about 15 apartments and for a reason or another,i liked none of those.Last week on Friday,i went to see a duplex and i liked it and i wanted to put a deposit on it but the owner said that he trusts me and that he will talk to his attorney on monday for the lease and so it began.My anguish that is!I waited until 4pm on Monday and no phone call,so i called him but he said that he didn't talk to his attorney yet.Today i called again but got a voicemail and told him that i needed to find out if he wants me as a tenant or not because i need to look for another apartment if not.I've lost all faith,all i want to do is curl up in some corner somewhere and die! > > love,nicole > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted April 14, 2009 Report Share Posted April 14, 2009 Hi,Gabriel Hmm,yeah i know-big egos=careless about others.Most of the times when i go grocery shopping and i walk back home 10-14 blocks pushing this heavy shopping cart,they expect me to get out of the way,aaarggghhhh!No,they are just walking and not carying anything.They are sleepwalking!I called the owner just 2 times.When i see someone with a stroller i get out of the way but not when i am pushing that heavy shopping cart.Btw,they have wheels that turn not me. love,nicole , " strider200142 " <gabriel wrote: > > Hi Nicole, > > I also know how hard it can be when you have such simple expectations of people which are very important for you.

Guest guest Posted April 14, 2009 Report Share Posted April 14, 2009 Nicole We always want the answer right away, but the universe has its processes. You have been looking for four months. Why do you need an answer this instant? Keep this place in mind (Ask for it to be yours -- as in ask and it shall be given) but start looking again. Who knows, the next one might be even better and the universe will have kept you from taking the wrong one ) ps -- try not to judge, just look Love. Thanks.

Guest guest Posted April 14, 2009 Report Share Posted April 14, 2009 This is why I tend to avoid large gatherings of people. People waste so much energy in a state of mind required for socializing as it is most commonly done. "So I hear you got your new tires, how do you like them? Check out my new Nike sneakers, I always get the same color. Etc." My housemate asked if our other housemate got our supplies for the house, then a few hours later I heard him ask this housemate if he got the supplies. He already knew. The typical social being is commercial, it is a phantom representative which arises out of the situation at hand. It is almost always empty, void of soul content or self-inquiry. The level of this changes depending on how many people gather and how connected each of them are on a personal basis. Most of the time people just don't know what to talk about, they talk about possessions, television drama, trivial judgments about other people's appearance, acquaintances at work and so on. What people say and conclude is rarely more interesting than why they say it and why they conclude it. One on one is a much more enjoyable for me because you get past the mind chatter quickly and into how life is experienced for the other. You get to know their ideas and perspective on things, how they derive their judgments as opposed to what they conclude. It is in this type of situation where I am relaxed. There is much laughter, the conversation becomes a cathartic experience because you experience the self. Where I fail is that I stop even trying to be open to new experiences. Closing myself up prevents opportunities for genuine and fulfilling relationships to come into my life. I stop practicing my social skills and become a bit rusty. My silent and still appearance often makes other people feel uncomfortable. It just usually isn't an enjoyable experience for me. The groupthink social energy comes into my mind and I start chit chatting and agreeing with relative and subjective judgments for the sake of other people's comfort. I've become very adept at reading body language. A person can tell you whatever they want, when they are dishonest their presentation still discloses the truth. Observing how people interact with each other and picking up on these subtleties removes me even further from the social activity because my mind is relaying possible reasons why the scenario is unfolding as it is. In no way am I fooling myself or building myself up in my mind as if I can read other people's minds through their speech and body language. Time and time again my intuition proves to be correct. It is even common for an idea to come to me which has no material or obvious basis, but later on I learn that what I had envisioned correlated entirely with the actuality of things. My experiences with the world, losing faith, a damaged ability to trust or be vulnerable, is the cause of deep suffering.. I’m denying my life. Once and a while I’ll people who know nothing about the 'spiritual' world, or to be more accurate, its terminology, milestones, paths, or whatever. Yet I can completely vibe with them. We skip the foreplay of the mind and abide joyfully in each other's presence.. Those who do have a developed concept around the spirit are a joy to be around because we very quickly begin to share our presence. The path to getting to know each other is quick, sometimes instantaneous. You can read each other's minds, finish each others thoughts, and skip over the things most people say because they still rely on language or speech to communicate. In most social activities, so much of the mind comes between what people are actually trying to talk about or communicate. Those who do know what is worth talking about already know it cannot really be talked about, nor does it need to be. Everyone uses masks or mechanisms to interface with other minds. I'm aware they are there and are very important to some. They are for the most part irrelevant. Affirming the mask or relying upon the mask is the ego fear or need, but that entire exorcise is part in the process of learning a new deeper way to communicate and experience the self. Many thanks and blessings to you all. KB "Maquerade! Paper faces on paradeMasquerade! Hide your face so the world will never find youMasquerade! Every face a different shadeMasquerade!

Guest guest Posted April 15, 2009 Report Share Posted April 15, 2009  That's Beautiful Zack, Quite often I just live in another world and enjoy the flow within, It may seem selfish to an onlooker. These times it just doesn't seem like there isn't any ego there. Solace is such a joy. Yet the ego cuts in and says I have to share, Seems the ego is just but another conspiracy ploy. so I put on a mask and do what I dare that I have to do and be to learn and understand. Money doesn't mean all that much to me, I never really need a lot of luxury. though I have my dream something like apple pie with cream. Taste is most essential, what else is there in trying to fulfill any dream Many of people that don't know there considered already dead The persona behind the name is all that they seem to see There Minds Duly Fed and timely bled There the aspects created by social security I light Up a smoke as if life is a joke yet wonder............................. what life would be like to be truly free John .M - Zack Nemeth Wednesday, April 15, 2009 1:08 PM Re: I have lost all faith in people!

Guest guest Posted April 15, 2009 Report Share Posted April 15, 2009  Yes,Zack,people show their masks before they even try to show their true self.Maybe they are afraid of not being accepted or being hurt.I am what you see is what you get and i've always been this way.I've always spoke my mind not derrailing from the truth.I often get flashes about the person i'm talking to and i do use my intuition.Red flags came up when i was talking to this man and he said that he doesn't have the deed for the house.Maybe it's a good thing that he didn't call me,because to not have the deed=no ownership. love,nicole - Zack Nemeth Wednesday, April 15, 2009 1:08 AM Re: I have lost all faith in people!

Guest guest Posted April 15, 2009 Report Share Posted April 15, 2009 Nicole, I have been in similar situations and what I have found is what is supposed to happen will happen, if we let it. Sometimes we rush things to our own peril. If this is the place you are meant to live, then that is where you will live. My suggestion would be to turn inward (rather than letting outside events affect you) and trust that you will be led to the right place. You will be in my prayers.

This is why I tend to avoid large gatherings of people. People waste so much energy in a state of mind required for socializing as it is most commonly done. "So I hear you got your new tires, how do you like them? Check out my new Nike sneakers, I always get the same color. Etc." My housemate asked if our other housemate got our supplies for the house, then a few hours later I heard him ask this housemate if he got the supplies. He already knew. The typical social being is commercial, it is a phantom representative which arises out of the situation at hand. It is almost always empty, void of soul content or self-inquiry. The level of this changes depending on how many people gather and how connected each of them are on a personal basis. Most of the time people just don't know what to talk about, they talk about possessions, television drama, trivial judgments about other people's appearance, acquaintances at work and so on. What people say and conclude is rarely more interesting than why they say it and why they conclude it. One on one is a much more enjoyable for me because you get past the mind chatter quickly and into how life is experienced for the other. You get to know their ideas and perspective on things, how they derive their judgments as opposed to what they conclude. It is in this type of situation where I am relaxed. There is much laughter, the conversation becomes a cathartic experience because you experience the self. Where I fail is that I stop even trying to be open to new experiences. Closing myself up prevents opportunities for genuine and fulfilling relationships to come into my life. I stop practicing my social skills and become a bit rusty. My silent and still appearance often makes other people feel uncomfortable. It just usually isn't an enjoyable experience for me. The groupthink social energy comes into my mind and I start chit chatting and agreeing with relative and subjective judgments for the sake of other people's comfort. I've become very adept at reading body language. A person can tell you whatever they want, when they are dishonest their presentation still discloses the truth. Observing how people interact with each other and picking up on these subtleties removes me even further from the social activity because my mind is relaying possible reasons why the scenario is unfolding as it is. In no way am I fooling myself or building myself up in my mind as if I can read other people's minds through their speech and body language. Time and time again my intuition proves to be correct. It is even common for an idea to come to me which has no material or obvious basis, but later on I learn that what I had envisioned correlated entirely with the actuality of things. My experiences with the world, losing faith, a damaged ability to trust or be vulnerable, is the cause of deep suffering... I’m denying my life. Once and a while I’ll people who know nothing about the 'spiritual' world, or to be more accurate, its terminology, milestones, paths, or whatever. Yet I can completely vibe with them. We skip the foreplay of the mind and abide joyfully in each other's presence.. Those who do have a developed concept around the spirit are a joy to be around because we very quickly begin to share our presence. The path to getting to know each other is quick, sometimes instantaneous. You can read each other's minds, finish each others thoughts, and skip over the things most people say because they still rely on language or speech to communicate. In most social activities, so much of the mind comes between what people are actually trying to talk about or communicate. Those who do know what is worth talking about already know it cannot really be talked about, nor does it need to be. Everyone uses masks or mechanisms to interface with other minds.

Money doesn't mean all that much to me, I never really need a lot of luxury. though I have my dream something like apple pie with cream. Taste is most essential, what else is there in trying to fulfill any dream Many of people that don't know there considered already dead The persona behind the name is all that they seem to see There Minds Duly Fed and timely bled There the aspects created by social security I light Up a smoke as if life is a joke yet wonder...... ......... ......... ..... what life would be like to be truly free John .M - Zack Nemeth Kundalini-Awakening -Systems- 1 Wednesday, April 15, 2009 1:08 PM Re: [Kundalini-Awakenin g-Systems- 1] I have lost all faith in people! This is why I tend to avoid large gatherings of people. People waste so much energy in a state of mind required for socializing as it is most commonly done. "So I hear you got your new tires, how do you like them? Check out my new Nike sneakers, I always get the same color. Etc." My housemate asked if our other housemate got our supplies for the house, then a few hours later I heard him ask this housemate if he got the supplies. He already knew. The typical social being is commercial, it is a phantom representative which arises out of the situation at hand. It is almost always empty, void of soul content or self-inquiry. The level of this changes depending on how many people gather and how connected each of them are on a personal basis. Most of the time people just don't know what to talk about, they talk about possessions, television drama, trivial judgments about other people's appearance, acquaintances at work and so on. What people say and conclude is rarely more interesting than why they say it and why they conclude it. One on one is a much more enjoyable for me because you get past the mind chatter quickly and into how life is experienced for the other. You get to know their ideas and perspective on things, how they derive their judgments as opposed to what they conclude. It is in this type of situation where I am relaxed. There is much laughter, the conversation becomes a cathartic experience because you experience the self. Where I fail is that I stop even trying to be open to new experiences. Closing myself up prevents opportunities for genuine and fulfilling relationships to come into my life. I stop practicing my social skills and become a bit rusty. My silent and still appearance often makes other people feel uncomfortable. It just usually isn't an enjoyable experience for me. The groupthink social energy comes into my mind and I start chit chatting and agreeing with relative and subjective judgments for the sake of other people's comfort. I've become very adept at reading body language. A person can tell you whatever they want, when they are dishonest their presentation still discloses the truth. Observing how people interact with each other and picking up on these subtleties removes me even further from the social activity because my mind is relaying possible reasons why the scenario is unfolding as it is. In no way am I fooling myself or building myself up in my mind as if I can read other people's minds through their speech and body language. Time and time again my intuition proves to be correct. It is even common for an idea to come to me which has no material or obvious basis, but later on I learn that what I had envisioned correlated entirely with the actuality of things. My experiences with the world, losing faith, a damaged ability to trust or be vulnerable, is the cause of deep suffering.... I’m denying my life. Once and a while I’ll people who know nothing about the 'spiritual' world, or to be more accurate, its terminology, milestones, paths, or whatever. Yet I can completely vibe with them. We skip the foreplay of the mind and abide joyfully in each other's presence.. Those who do have a developed concept around the spirit are a joy to be around because we very quickly begin to share our presence. The path to getting to know each other is quick, sometimes instantaneous. You can read each other's minds, finish each others thoughts, and skip over the things most people say because they still rely on language or speech to communicate. In most social activities, so much of the mind comes between what people are actually trying to talk about or communicate. Those who do know what is worth talking about already know it cannot really be talked about, nor does it need to be. Everyone uses masks or mechanisms to interface with other minds. I'm aware they are there and are very important to some. They are for the most part irrelevant. Affirming the mask or relying upon the mask is the ego fear or need, but that entire exorcise is part in the process of learning a new deeper way to communicate and experience the self.

Guest guest Posted April 16, 2009 Report Share Posted April 16, 2009 Hello Nicole, yep, you seem to be having a lot of trouble with your apartment. When my K. really started, a long period of difficult experiences happened with me, including being let down when it mattered most. What I found very useful was to 1) honor my anger, then 2) take the perspective of those who were letting me down, seeing and feeling the world through their eyes. This was my learning, to stop resisting and start owning my shadow. love Bruce , " ntaroiu " <lsirca wrote: > > I am so,so angry and can't stop crying and it went on most of the day today.Maybe, there are no trustworthy people out there,i don't know! > As you all know,i've been busy looking for another apartment since January and so far i've seen about 15 apartments and for a reason or another,i liked none of those.Last week on Friday,i went to see a duplex and i liked it and i wanted to put a deposit on it but the owner said that he trusts me and that he will talk to his attorney on monday for the lease and so it began.My anguish that is!I waited until 4pm on Monday and no phone call,so i called him but he said that he didn't talk to his attorney yet.Today i called again but got a voicemail and told him that i needed to find out if he wants me as a tenant or not because i need to look for another apartment if not.I've lost all faith,all i want to do is curl up in some corner somewhere and die! > > love,nicole > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted April 16, 2009 Report Share Posted April 16, 2009 John, I'm going to throw a few things out there for consideration and you can digest it however you wish. I can empathize to what your referring. For me, I find that with all the programming going on out there in the 'commercial' world, the word 'deceit' is more relevant term for me (for experiences that I've gone through in the last year). Do I believe everyone is deceitful? No, but people are learning to wear different masks. Are people afraid of who they are, or are they not content on who they have become, or are they putting on this face to obtain something they wish for. On the other hand, take a look at a really good salesperson, and you will see various faces and the behavioural flexibility that is displayed, usually matching up to the buyer- is this deceit? I don't think so, it's just rapport building and business. On a more personal level, there are those who, instead of changing, I find them (as you termed it) hiding behind the actors mask- there is a tremendous difference between the two. It's important to differentiate personal and business, and behaviour and self. There cannot be a pot luck of all off the various levels as it will cause confusion, generalization and distortion of your world view of people. If you stand back and look at yourself from an 'observers' perspective, you will notice that you too change, based on the people your with, your environment, etc. I think God gave us this flexibility to cope with the various degrees of situations. Let's give hope to those who change based on the better good of the world. St. Benedict started the Monastery based on the fact that he was disappointed with everyone and became a hermit in the caves of Italy. He had a tremendous following that became what we know today as Christianity- as far as the rituals are concerns. What you are referring to has gone on as long as people walked the earth. It becomes a choice of whom you wish to surround yourself with. There is good and not so good. I believe intentions of most are good and each and every person has a positive intention of making themselves happy- It's the context of which they use to get there...it may harm some, but they get what they want to make them happy. For me, you get what you see. No hidden agendas, no deceit, integrity and honesty. And with all of that, people read into me as if I have an agenda, etc...go figure. I have also learned that people see things through their own perspective. If a person cannot trust anyone, they are mearly seeing the world through their own spectacles that they cannot be trusted. Or past experiences has dug deep into their mind that they cannot surrender. Read the safties....Forgiveness and Surrender it all to move forward. Just food for thought. Ernie , " JOHN.

Guest guest Posted April 16, 2009 Report Share Posted April 16, 2009 Consideration? of the top of my head ; a claim an offer a bid a tender, a counter claim, a bill, a check, a cheque ect. A $10 note is known a legal tender so that is consideration also next year it is worth about 10% less than it is today in seven years about 50% less. You should be a bit careful of what you say In mantra yoga the sounding of words must be specific Though the mantra OM can be om aum ommmmmmm oooooooom auuum auuummm the longer a or o is said to be more spiritual the longer drawn out mmmm is more physical, Useing bad language puts stress into the environment and people who go about saying stuff this stuff than and words of a like kind generally reflect a lower vibration onto there environment. You just made me an offer for consideration. What if say I wished to bargain with you. I would accept your offer conditionally and return it to you under consideration for value. my condition would be that you make proof of your claim then I would do a novation a counter offer if you could not prove it I would also put one dollar on the table to show you I was serious. You would then have seventy two hours to prove your claim and if you couldn't you would owe me to the value of my counter claim. this is the law of mammon, UCC universal comercial code, law merchant satins law. You see it all up for consideration its all negotionable, A sales person has his top dollar as well as his bottom line its all negotiable though he still has to make a profit for the shop and some money for himself to feed his family. I am sorry about the runaround though I feel I need to give more insight to the equation I was referring to persons and how people have become to see themselves by not understanding who that really are. Its a play on words that has created people to be that they are but surfs. Look up the dictionary on what are persons you will probably not find a definition in most. now go and read or look up persons from a biblical point of view, they are grouped together with animals and slaves. Persons is not a word in most English dictionaries though it is referred to in law.look up the definition in any statute you will find that they are grouped with corporate entities. Corporate entities also have there names capitalized Like most people you would not get the gist of what I was saying. though it is I feel very important information if one is seeking honor and truth If say think that you are one of persons, that is what you are and you identify yourself as a dead imaginary thing such as corporations are. Why should people get disappointed in PERSONS when PERSONS relate themselves to be commercial entities and not people. I hope I haven't upset you or any one though this is the truth. I am sorry if I have In Love John .M - boltonben111 Thursday, April 16, 2009 10:34 PM Re: I have lost all faith in people!

Guest guest Posted April 16, 2009 Report Share Posted April 16, 2009 Whoa, doesn't feel right then don't do it. I have learned that one the hard way. I went into an apartment I liked and something told me not to, but I did anyway. I ended up staying 1 month and moving back into my old apartment. In that one month the window in the living room was shot through 3 times. I have children so you can see why I started getting paranoid and moved back into the old one. Just a word of caution. ntaroiu <lsirca Sent: Thursday, April 16, 2009 7:37:53 AM Re: I have lost all faith in people!

Guest guest Posted April 16, 2009 Report Share Posted April 16, 2009 Namaste i have enjoyed reading these threads on trust and the experience of losing faith in people. . . surely all of us have gone through these passages many times. . . i have. . . . along with the disappointment they often become great lessons that enrich our being. . . for me it is important to embrace the experience and the feelings, for when i do not allow the process to unfold based on spiritual interjects applied to quickly there can be the pit fall of spiritual bypass. . . . i use to work with death penalty inmates to gather information for mitigation to have their sentences changed from death to life without parole. . .initially would walk away from a meeting with them and hearing their tragic histories and violent reaction to life and would say, " except for the grace of God there go i. " . . . . then somewhere along the way. . .there was slow seepage. . .and the " except the grace of God there go i " . . .became replaced with; " there go i " . . . .i have found it most interesting to harvest those situations where there is disappointment, anger, frustration, judgment and turn the " there go i " into a question. What am i seeing in this person. . .then pulling it back to for self-inquiry. . . .why do i need this person or situation at this time in my life. . .what is it to teach. . .how much of what i am seeing in this person is a projection of that which i am unconscious in myself. . . .who am i. . . .who is this one i am creating as other?. . .Often i find i may not displaying the same level or have the same faces on the situation but at other levels the mirror reveals my own similar energetic. . . . awhile back i had a friend's son revealed a story to me. . . .he loves computers and had been without a job for too long. . . and the issue was he like to smoke w & & d. . . .he would not show up to the job interviews because he knew he would be tested. . .after a couple of years. . .he made it to an interview and sure enough he got the job contingent on the drug testing. . .this was winter and he went to the testing with a borrowed sample. . . .but when he got there he realized the sample was cold, so th solution was to warm the sample with this own urine. . ..needless to say. . . .he failed the test. . . . as i heard this story. . .i hit underlying judgment of his intelligence and ethics. . . and then reluctantly said, " there go i " . . .internally there was a dialogue of, " you have got to be kidding, i am not that dumb. " . . . But the more pondered. . . realized just how often i mix my own egoic stream into the pure steam of consciousness. . . .an egoic that has all kinds of impurities based on attachments and dependencies. .. . . and sure enough. . . " there go i. . . one of the concepts i have thought a lot about from the Course of Miracles has to do with heaven is not entered alone, but rather two. . . ..if there is anyone we have held hostage by placing a frame on them as less than or unworthy. . .then we have denied our own entrance of the divine. . . .for me it is a hard concept to practice but one of those that leads to ever increasing levels of freedom. . .I love the simple reminder, " take no prisoners " . . . .i often fail. . .but with time it become more easy, and then it turns to fun. . . .and slowly there is release. . . just some rambling thoughts and would love to hear how others have learned to anchor spiritual into everyday reality. . .i have learned much from reading your posts for sometime now and truly appreciate the exchange and working through. . . much honor to each ordinary sparrow , " boltonben111 " <erniebeneventi wrote: > > John, > > I'm going to throw a few things out there for consideration and you can digest it however you wish. > > I can empathize to what your referring.

Guest guest Posted April 16, 2009 Report Share Posted April 16, 2009 Ernie. I don't know for sure if people are deceitful or deceived.could be both to varying degrees. Though we become what we mirror our minds on, so I have come to think. I'm in Port Hedland Australia its a town of about 15000 and for its size is probably the most transitionary town in Aus It has a large deep water port that services the mining industries. There are many worker that fly in and fly out and the are many with the term coined grey nomads (retiree travelers) 600 ks north of here is the party town Broome a lot of overseas travelers come though here from Perth on there way to party on. I have been here two years. Its an old red earth country and everything is siliconised over the centuries, some say things change here very quickly. It may only be an illusion very similar people from the two years I've been here.I have changed a bit as I always find the need to adapt. Going to a cave sounds idealistic the week before Easter four of us went to Wittenoom an old asbestos mining town that has been declassified as a town only six people hold out there now, it must have been wonderful in its hay day Gleno another member of this group who I coincidently met up here about 6 months ago led the way. got some great pics of the gorge and natural pools in the water ways that have cut out the rocks. The water was so fresh clean and vibrant it would suit me to hermit there I am reckoning, Because of its remoteness not many go, Though I am told some do in tourist time yet not so many because of the asbestos scare. :-) It might be good to try for awhile. I like being with and around with people, I also like my own space at times as well. currents flow time moves and places generally stay though a stint on a oasis in the desert alone would be good. There the night sky radiates from the stars and the stars they don't sing there they scream. There is no law the coppers are also scared lol.The stupid thing is that the air is cleaner there than here, I don't know what the con is. I have a pic of Buddha (ME) sitting on the rocks who certainly needs at least a weeks fast. In Love John .M - boltonben111 Thursday, April 16, 2009 10:34 PM Re: I have lost all faith in people!

Guest guest Posted April 16, 2009 Report Share Posted April 16, 2009 You know I must be getting old, because I am fascinated by a piece of paper stuck on a picker branch struggling to free itself. Actually the wind is trying to free it and the paper is trying to stay on the branch. I think. But it is like a power struggle between the branch and the wind for a piece of paper. I am also noticing more and more how money and stuff just doesn’t enthuse me any more. It is like I know this is my house and it will be paid off whenever I get the money to do so. Who cares when it will happen, it will happen when it happens. And yet there is a part of me going there is something seriously wrong with that. And I am finding that I care even less about what happens to people or animals or plants. I do know that I should feel bad when bad things happen but I can’t. I think too that if another was to come after me with a sword I would pick up one and defend myself but I get the feeling that death for me would not be as bad as it would be for the one who came after me. See I am getting old or I am not caring anymore. I don't know which. Could be both. Maybe I am getting worn down by all the spirits. I had a dream the other night. I was teaching. I had planets and numbers swirling around my head. Like they were caught in my gravatational pull. You know like how planets get moons. Thats what I had with planets and numbers. When I think about it, I laugh. Don't know why, just thought you would like to know. ordinarysparrow <ordinarysparrow Sent: Thursday, April 16, 2009 1:08:42 PM Re: I have lost all faith in people!

For me, I find that with allthe programming going on out there in the 'commercial' world, the word'deceit' is more relevant term for me (for experiences that I've gonethrough in the last year). Do I believe everyone is deceitful? No, butpeople are learning to wear different masks. Are people afraid of whothey are, or are they not content on who they have become, or are theyputting on this face to obtain something they wish for. On the otherhand, take a look at a really good salesperson, and you will see variousfaces and the behavioural flexibility that is displayed, usuallymatching up to the buyer- is this deceit? I don't think so, it's justrapport building and business.>> On a more personal level, there are those who, instead of changing, Ifind them (as you termed it) hiding behind the actors mask- there is atremendous difference between the two.
