I met a man outside the library earlier who reminded me of my old friend Big Yoda. I wouldn't be surprised if they had met, or even related. He talked about aliens, the Freemasons, corporatocracy, re-engineering pistons using electromagnetism (which makes sense), the bullshit that is "The Green Revolution". He told me that once they teach you to be a part of the workforce early on in your life, that means the education system you are told to be a part of is fundamentally and intentionally screwed. He told me about the control-freaks "behind the scenes", making sure you stay broke; making sure your money goes into their bank accounts. He told me many things that I am still processing in my head. Every thing he said made sense. He is an underground scholar and now a teacher. He told me that it was up to young people like me to start the revolution; to help others break away from the Platonic cave that enslaves all of us. The usual shit. Every one of his lessons I already knew, but it was refreshing to know that there are still free-thinkers out there. There will always be hope for mankind as long as we have "madmen" like him and Big Yoda...because madmen are sometimes the voice of reason; they speak the truth when the truly delusioned ones (the so called "normal people") accept everything fed to them without thought. It could all be labeled as 'conspiracy theory'. You shouldn't take anything at face value. That's really the lesson I'm always reminded of whenever I come across these people. You just have to think for yourself.

“May I be a guard for those who are protectorless,
A guide for those who journey on the road;
For those who wish to go across the water,
May I be a boat, a raft, a bridge.

May I be an isle for those who yearn for landfall,
And a lamp for those who long for light;
For those who need a resting place, a bed,
For all who need a servant, may I be a slave

Thus, for every single thing that lives,
In number like the boundless reaches of the sky,
May I be their sustenance and nourishment
Until they pass beyond the bounds of suffering”

- Shantideva, A Guide to the Bodhisattva’s Way of Life

Feeling lucky...

  ...Feeling fine

I feel a cosmic wave

     bathing my mind.
