3 Ages of Man

Live a little
be a gypsy,
get around

:) get your feet up off the ground

how can things be so heavy - en
and be so hell

inside my find i’ve found heaven
all around the world are hells

to perpetuate my heaven to the outside, i will need to change as a person. i will have to put myself on hold for years and push to find that common ground, that electricity, vibrance, and oh other known as love. I want to see it all and hold it all in my hand, conquer nothing but breathing.

i think there have been three golden ages in man

1. ‘traditional’ society - people just trying to survive, eat, live, copulate, and master the elements....

2. modern society - people finally having the intelligence to master their elements, to consort peoples and materials to their whim and will - democracy/representative governments/economic systems --- these are all the appropriate evolutionary constructs that support the environment already established

(modern society ---- leads to greed, unimaginable greed, envy, excess....which in turn is blind and self consuming..

just look at the u.s. today

the amount of ignorance, insolence and vulgarity is disgusting, i don’t even dare touch it.

because the fact exists that today while you fueled up your s.u.v. and wasted water, and wasted food and wasted energy --- so many people died because they didn’t have what you had...


the problem of distribution.)

if
modern society is just pushing outward, and everyone wants everyone else to feel comfortable, and have the kind of fucked up consumer life that everyone has....its just not sustainable

people try to export free markets and political systems that ‘work’....what they don’t realize -(consciously or unconsciously) is that the more you try to pull people in, they will in turn become your competitors. as cool as it is

that you pay them nothing
for their beautiful beaches and drinks
----globalizations price will come back to you - the world’s just gone too BIG

the fact of the matter is is that people want to live, and they want to grow....and so you have just unleashed the end of the world

famine, plagues, war, death



3. ‘postmodern’ society --- whatever the fuck that is

if people will just become a - ware of the kind of pandora’s box we have opened....it’s funny, because every time I talk to kids about starvation or collapse, they act as though that could never happen and that everything will be perfect for their entire lives. I JUST WANT TO CRY... because it’s happening, now, it’s been happening.... so much death and destruction

But here you go - you have the most progressive society in the world one hand you have the good ol us, with freedom, happiness, land, liberation...but does that come out of nowhere? what is it built upon? IS IT ITS OWN UTOPIA?

and so postmodern society must reconcile itself with traditional and modern society --- if the postmodern era kids can further share the wealth instead of concentrating it deeply....

if we can get over our basic monkey instincts --- oooo ooo aaa aaa - kill eachother, this is mine, i want more.....

if we could just get to that next step in the evolutionary ladder ----- we could save ourselves. only then and that way do I see our generation saving our species. we will save it by clean energy, and renunciation of so much of our possessions, and maybe we will return to a greater educational awareness. we can do it now....

or we can wait for greater destruction to occur, and then we will have to come up from under it all or be eradicated

At no other point in our species history have we been so connected, well versed, well educated

and at the same time

we are so alone, so unversed, so uneducated

we are trapped in our playthings and our dreams of ourselves

we are a surreal encounter ----


so completely breathtakingly beautiful --- the amount of ideas that have been able to circulate, free, unencumbered.
all the while --- being
so completely disgusting - fat, too tanned, too blonde, too self consumed’


i can see why lenin was revolted by the masses...yet at the same time, we are all one and live from one another

i welcome my society to start not benefiting, not growing, not flourishing
I want kids i know to loose money, lose it all fast, because it’s going to end up consuming you ----

and that’s what people don’t realize,
is that it’s just gotten so big.

I welcome economic hardship, because maybe people will start thinking about where their food is coming from....and maybe they will start thinking about other people that can’t eat....and maybe then the world can be saved. but it can only be saved

by self sacrifice
putting the ego to bay, at his own camp, and saying “Hey - I know that you are there, but I can resist you...I’ve got to help someone out.”

MAITREYA when maitreya comes ---

"will lose their doubts, and the torrents of their cravings will be cut off: free from all misery they will manage to cross the ocean of becoming; and, as a result of Maitreya's teachings, they will lead a holy life. No longer will they regard anything as their own, they will have no possession, no gold or silver, no home, no relatives! But they will lead the holy life of chastity under Maitreya's guidance. They will have torn the net of the passions, they will manage to enter into trances, and theirs will be an abundance of joy and happiness, for they will lead a holy life under Maitreya's guidance."
