Ugh... Stuck between a rock and a hardplace. (Page 2 of 2)

HaHaHa!  ReEvol_ve , Thanks for that!
I smiled from ear to ear at the 'puter when I read that from your post in bold above.

I think the 'pause' button was pressed so that we could finally 'get-it' and catch-up and become the conscious-co-creators...in the now...right now!
.....

And Ayahuasca, Thank You too!

I am going to get a copy of Ishmael by Daniel Quinn after reading a few pages online.

I'm game haha.  That would be ideal.  Its getting to the point where even if things seem radical, if your intuition tells you its a good idea... I think it deserves more than skeptical contemplation.

All I know is that if we had a few people together that shared the same motives and ideas, it would be much better than being scattered with opposition coming in from all angles.

Personal communication is definately the next step.  We need to get to know each other if we are serious about the possibility of getting together in the physical world.  My email address is ecornell21@gmail.com if anyone is interested.  Kahn, I'll send you an email soon, my intuition tells me that we are somewhat compatible people lol.

I'd be interested to know what you find out about New Hamshire, Kahn.  I've been looking to relocate for 20 yrs., and N.H.'s way of life sounds really good.  No point in running FROM ANYTHING, but there is a point in running TO SOMETHING, (I finally learned).

I am in a similar situation.

Hmmmmm, Kahnsentrayshun, must you use capital letters on "Great Dying"?

I am an advocate of logic.. as stupid as this sounds.. for logic is primary.. but, maybe not so stupid to remind, hum. I believe it is possible to determine the economic future of America.. the facts speak for themselves.. so any notion of "if" is useless.. save for clearly imagining the magnitude of the coming economic depression. It is also important, however, in these times, to remember still to focus on one's personal spiritual evolution, for if one is not evolving, then one is devolving, becoming further and further set into habit, aloofness, and immorality or despair. Kahnsentrayshun, I wonder, if among your many beliefs, that may be labeled "radical", do you hesitate to take any of them 100% positively to heart because they are radical and you cannot be positive about them, or because you are overwhelmed by everything? The whole dichotomy of one's world model between the false mainstream realities and the real little-known realities is taxing, and sometimes when one conflicts themselves with wanting very badly, almost like a victim, to embrace the entirety of the real little-known realities into their world model, all in one fail swoop, then it can be helpful to begin with a small step and accept part of it as 100% conclusive. From this, further rungs may be built above the first through logic.

I assume that you can find at least one small thing of which you are 100% certain, in faith and in logic?

I could jump on the "let's all get together" bandwagon, and while such is a possibility, it is rather obvious and besides the point, so I will refrain. In times of crisis, rather, the most important thing, the most important resource that you can have at your disposal, is your.. well there doesn't seem to be a right word for it.. is your self-realization, is being self-realized. Until one realizes this way, it is difficult to explain, because it is mostly a matter of realization, and if you would have already realized, then, well, you would have already realized. Basically, there is nothing to fear, not only because you are anyways immortal, but because you have faith in yourself, that you can survive, that you can get yourself out of any situation. Planning for a future of pending crisis, then, becomes less about structuring your circumstances in cautionary ways, and more about continuing what you have always been doing, growing as a person. It would be great if you could get yourself to this point of self-realization in time for the crisis, because then without having to worry about petty things, you would save a great abundance of personal power for yourself, and therein for those around you to the extent that helping is possible (and sometimes it is best, for others even, to keep to yourself). Openness of mind is very important. Do you fear to lose your material possessions? Would you be willing to live on the streets without a home, and would you enjoy it and thrive in it as in anything else? These are possibilities.

If you are concerned primarily with goodness as opposed to ignorance and evil, then simplicity is a great ally. If you need pen and paper to express yourself to "make a difference", then you are constricted in your vision. If you only know how to speak for yourself from your present circumstances, a while male, with such an age, such a job, such a nationality, etc., etc., then you are constricted in your vision. If you care so much about the high moral things that you were taught, that you are unwilling to let go of your fellow humans and allow them to die in ignorance, however ridiculous, absurd, and needless this ignorance may be, then your vision is constricted. If this paragraph has proven to be insightful for you, then your vision is constricted... imagine how many other weaknesses you can identify within yourself, and consider it a most productive activity.

One thing I have learned, is that sometimes to do the most good, one must survive, as opposed to needing to survive in order to do the most good.

It is very important to have the wisdom and courage to make drastic change in one's life.. too often is the path others set before us not only the easiest to accept but also, in instances where one cannot be conclusively certain about alternative paths, the status quo when one chooses not to deviate.

I will be back later but I have to go out.

Namaste

Awesome. I agree, it would be a lot better being with a few people who have the same motives and ideas. We'd all pretty much be on the same wavelength in understanding, so I think we'd all mesh pretty well. I'll send you and email soon if you haven't already sent one.

I'll look into New Hampshire. I have a lot of looking to do btw so if any of you feel like doing research on good areas to live feel free to send me and email or post it before the forum closes. New Hampshire is really close to the coast though. If earth changes get pretty bad I want to be more inland. I'm definitely not ruling New Hampshire out though, I like to keep an open mind on this.

You are so right about "No point in running FROM ANYTHING, but there is a point in running TO SOMETHING." Rather than running away from the negative and trying to avoid it, it would be better to run towards the positive without looking back. We need to define what it is that we want to run towards, before we start running. Though working and saving as much as possible right now would definitely help.

Lol... Maybe I took that a little too far... Though in future history books, you can bet that they will probably refer to this time as "The Great Dying."

LMAO I too am an advocate of logic. High five! Honestly, I was using the notion of "if" to give some of the people that read this hope... even if it may be false hope. Man... that sounds harsh... Put another way, if this were Texas Hold'em, I'd be all in. The economic depression will happen.

I take my beliefs like 95% to heart. I've spoken to family members and some friends and they always disagree with me no matter how much I point to the logic and facts of it all. Some stuff can't even be argued though concerning the paranormal stuff, because a lot of it is personal experiences. I used to take it 100% heart. I'll get there again. It's just a little hard, because I'm constantly dealing with resistance to these beliefs everyday of my life.

Good post by the way. The self realization thing is key. It's also key being willing to let go. I realized this stuff a long time ago. I just have yet to act on it. It's a shame... I could have saved up 45k if I had kept working at the warehouse I was working at for another two years. Oh well, I'll have enough in 7 months (around the time frame I'm thinking of moving out.)

Good article.

You can look for communities here. I'd prefer people move to the same area as me so we can share an apartment or house, but if other people bail out I'm still going to go ahead with my decision.

New Hampshire sounds like a pretty nice place to live. Maybe I could live there for awhile and then relocate when I felt the need to.

I gotta check out that book. Looks like it might be very helpful. Thanks.
