Nothing new?

Reminded by my friend on Facebook, despite always looking for something that will be of use, nothing may actually work. Admittedly my philosophy helps many other people as I use it in my work and with friends although is mainly practical rather than spiritual. The spiritual side isn't so simple though as there's no science and no direct cause. But there's no alternative while I see both yawning gaps in life and the possibility there is a lot more if only we learn how to use it.

I also see the internet appearing to become reality for many of us, and sometimes need to take photos and films of our rarer trips out to prove we're actually still capable of it. The fact the rise of broadband coincided with a marked reduction in my own social activities is no more than a coincidence, but the good side is I now appreciate so much I do since it almost dried up for various reasons. So I appreciate every person and every place I go now and always will.
I have just heard a little talk on what the flow is, and can now say it's not hanging on to what you just did mentally but just dealing with what's here now, and not worrying ahead either. So instead of being held back by thoughts of the past, like driving and looking behind you, you let it go and move on. It's that simple and I'll have to catch myself doing it now as breaking habits is as useful as meditation itself if it contributes to the same end.

I must be excused for hoping for more- is anyone satisfied with every aspect of their lives? I only worry about the major areas as who cares about the details? If the main aspects of my life are OK then the ups and downs are ridden a lot easier as they were in the past. I repeat this every now and again simply as so many days remind me of it. Besides the usual advice (uncalled for) what I should be doing to get more work and social life, as if I hadn't tried it already, I don't have any magic ways to change a single aspect of my life directly. There's no point throwing effort at it as all I'll be is alone but more tired. My current aims are to improve my media career and social life, both of which would have similar effects. As I was reminded, however early my progress is in the media it's many miles beyond nearly everyone else on earth. That means whatever I'm doing, bearing in mind I never got an Equity card or have any family connections in the area, is working. Business is relatively controllable compared to pleasure and I've always just kept ahead there. And besides the lack of acceptable women always had a bloody good social life as well but totally by just doing what I always do.

Last night I was with my mother and her friend, and also decided the main problem is if you don't get married you're left with a few loyal friends and other singles who tend to be thin on the ground and mainly peculiar. The couples drop you or won't make friends with you if you meet them later. Only being likely to make single friends restricts the options by about 90%, and it does seem to turn people into self satisfied and superior beings once they start their own family. The fact the lowest class of all are the ones to have the earliest and largest families doesn't seem to register with them at all, that if you have basically no standards and on the dole you can more or less hook up with anyone like yourself and just eat, drink, smoke and shag. The available types for the much fewer intellectuals means we're spread out worldwide, and although now able to meet up online on some sites, are too spread out to do much more. I also pointed out how people either click with me or not, and if they do last for decades. That doesn't often happen either.

So it's pretty hard to change the nature of society and although I doubt most people deliberately exclude singles from their own lives the effect is the same. Some days I see the cheese, other days I see the holes. I don't make the rules...

Same as bloody usual

The Celestine Prophecy tells us once the guidance is there we must look for it in everything. So all the stress I've had this week (some shared here and more) was dealt with where possible and dropped. It's now passed and I've come out the other side. I have to take the memory card to the shop tomorrow with some ID as the receipt has vanished, and hope to get a new one and otherwise job done.
I'm not usually good with stress, but if you either crack up or cope I decided to deal with it and coped. The prophecy says look for the message and that was mine. No more for a while now please.

Ahead I see no more, but that's normal, including lack of plans and ideas, and will just wait till the time comes. I've emailed letters to the two local papers about the council removing the last of an old sign design and if one publishes I may have a chance. These (insert bad word here) need to be fought to every last cause or they'll walk all over us. I'll never show anyone in the council where one is again now, I tried and was confirmed to be suspicious. The concepts of flexibility and discretions simply don't exist when most people are promoted beyond their capabilities. So we can't trust or rely on any of them as they are like the crocodile, programmed to destroy their prey, ie the general public.

So, life is still partly as per usual and partly a mystery. I expect most ahead to be as before, but that does now include some of interest as well as the normal routine. There is definitely a frequency for each area in life, or my electrical things couldn't all pack up at once on more than one occasion. Two women in a couple of days in 2002 after a few blank years, etc etc. Last week was testing my strength and now seems to be over, so hopefully something positive will come next as I've had my initiation and probably passed it so no need for more of the same.
