Nirvana, self-awareness, chi, spirit, blah!

It seems that I've neglected this site for long enough. Time for a new post...

I think I've finally fully realised who I am. This may come as a shock to those of you who already know me, but sometimes it's easier to see outside yourself than
inside.

I am the only virgin in downtown Winnipeg. I hate doing dishes even though I'm fully aware of the reasons to do them. I like travelling, but not at the expense of actually doing something. I detest passive mediums such as television -- if it's not A) live or B) imaginative, I just can't stomach it. I have trouble with focus, but working on focus takes too much focus. I don't dream of people.

I've now realised who and what I am, and I've attained complete contentedness. I don't need to change myself to be someone other than myself, although that mutually exclude the possibility for self-improvement. I want to change the world, but realise fully that changing the world is a lofty goal, but in attempting to do so with great vigour, failure will not be disappointing.

Lofty ideas aside. I must now officially say the following: I think that the majority of religion in the world is a complete sham. (Yes, Aaron/Mike, that include Christianity, in my opinion). Obtaining inner peace is not prerequisited by worshipping bhuddas or swearing a surface-only oath to christ. Now I'm not saying that all religions are without merits, don't get me wrong. I feel they serve a very important role in the world in developing a strong sense of community among fellow citizens, however, they are all fundamentally flawed by conjuring that there is only one right perception of the Universe. In this sense, I think the baha'i may be closest to the right track here -- but again, they have a hierarchy, and as such is flawed for imposing one's perceptions 'down upon a flock'.

I think I've reached the state of mind that the people of Tibet like to call Nirvana. Now I just hope I can hold on to it...

Anyway, back to pondering the inner workings of the computer...

Be Safe!
