A Letter To My SonI wrote this 8 years ago, a letter to my son. I moved recently and came across it in the mess, and I had been reading a story by "notsureIhaveherpermissontorevealhername", my friend, and some comm… [more] -

From the HeartI recently posted a story concerning my Native American Heritage and recieved a comment from YoNa, a young man apparently angry at me. I have written, a few times, about my ancestory in several of my stories, as in each story it seemed relevant to that moment, I know redundant to some. The story commented on by YoNa, I posted after a few beers, and while my grammer and spelling, vocabulary, shows it, it is of a story from my college days. I am currently studying for my PhD in metaphysics, trying to put some structure to my rather exceptional life experiences ( not exceptional because they are in some way "better", trying to inflate an ego over someone else, or fantasy, but to stimulate a con… [more]

Drugs
Just a thought, comes from the way we humans need to anthropomorphize God. Which is really a function of our ego. I left the church at 12 when listening to a sermon by a Southern Baptist Preacher, and then having my newly formed opinion regurgitated by a teacher in Sunday School. It struck me that (though I didn't know the word at the time)this information being preached was just dogma supporting a particular institution, not a pathway leading to spirituality I then attended a Southern Baptist/Military school in Texas, which surprisingly was quite liberal in its rules and regulations.

Awakening to the True self
As a child, I grew up in an environment of rigidly enforced emotional repression and alcoholism. My father, a former Marine Corp Aviator, known as Sir or Major, was a seven times decorated war hero, however, that was his entire persona. Try as he might have, he knew not how to parent or be a father. My mother had been raised on a farm in West Virginia by a similar father type, a rigid, unknowing truck farmer, emotionally unavailable to his wife and daughter. As a result, my parent's egos had grown defenses which allowed no variation from their own persona and their children grew up as emotional clones. Any individuality was snuffed quickly out, and we became little **** and Janes, rather tha… [more]

The Investigation of Things
The Ancients who wished to illustrate illustrious virtue throughout the kingdom first ordered well their own states. Wishing to order their own states, they first regulated their own families. Wishing to regulate their families, they first cultivated their persons. Wishing to cultivate their persons, they first rectified their hearts. Wishing to rectify their hearts, they first sought to be sincere in their thoughts. Wishing to be sincere in their thoughts, they first extended to the utmost their knowledge. Such extension of knowledge lay in the investigation of things. Passage from The Great Learning Confucius "the investigation and experiencing of things...." Eight … [more]
