Realization Vs. Revelation

Name:
Location: st. louis, Missouri, United States

Full blooded St.Louis native. Born and raised. I consider myself to be unique. But shouldn't everyone. Clearly our differences are what seperate us and conversely our similarities are what bring us together. I would say i am pretty laid back. I live life like a book(trying to make it through without getting frustrated at the final result) Im cool and i feel like if i can be cool so can everyone else. Things go so much better that way. Compromise it makes everyone happy.

Life

In order to establish inner peace one must become completely satisfied with oneself. The ability to accept flaws in thyself is the ability to gain understanding of who you really are. Judging others puts yourself in the same company as those who do not know themselves. To judge someone is to deny the very flaw that resides in all of us. Beyond the flaw lies the forever existing beauty that is enstilled in all of us. To envision this; place as many faults about yourself on the table and instead of analyzing them understand that the few that were thought of were just that. Few. It's impossible to give all reasons. Just know that the list is forever extended through living. It's elementary to point out and laugh at others seemingly unescapable flaws yet we still do it. Even if you have conditioned yourself to be more respectful it is alive at the subconcious level. What you see in the mirror is not synonomous to what others envision. Their minds interpret the details within your face completely different.

To see is to fathom the unseen without judging the outer experience. For example. I believe that everyone(in the essence of the word) is good. I also believe that looking into a persons eyes can help see the inner good. The way people composition life deals greatly with the experiences that they have manifested. Therefore, I do not look at a persons eyes, I look into them. I have even tried this on myself. When I look in my eyes I see failure, skepticism, suffering, arrogance, need, desire, success, dedication, loving, as well as redemption. I see more but this is just an example. Some are not as generally accepted as others but it is what I see. It is who I am. To deny this is to deny myself. To know this is to know thyself. I cannot remodel who I am because I have already taken shape. That is the reason why I do not try. I do not see acceptance, however, because I do not feel totally satisfied with the life that I currently live. Not for reasons dealing with the decisions I have made in life, but lack of the continuity of expression revolving around the randomness of a life, through the eyes of so many people, that seems fruitless. The desire to get better is what drives evolution. The desire to live should be the ambition for self improvement. Or vice versa, the ambition for self improvement should drive the desire to live.

Life at times seems confusing, but in order to understand, one must completely ignore the rules and boundaries of a world that creates them to prohibit what people would call complete freedom, and also understand that these parameters are in place not to impede freedom, but to promote growth, because without these rules we would inevitably kill ourselves. Once this is ascertained then maybe one will see that happiness is not what we are looking for. We as a people are forced to believe that in order to acheive maximum success we must be better than everyone else. When in fact the intent of the statement is misconstreud. What is meant is that we should not settle for average. However it is satisfaction we search for. What we really want is an A+ life. But what we need is to be content with a C.

hey j,
although i haven´t talked to you in a while, i really appreciate your sending me this blog link so that i can read some of your thoughts and in a way, understand how you´ve grown and who you are as a person today. When we first met, i saw you as a person who was very intelligent and insightful, but sometimes distracted. you are a very loving and intense person, and i enjoyed every conversation we had. i can see after the years of growing and learning and loving that you have continued to grow into this intensely stimulating and insightful man. i know it sounds weird, (especially since I´m younger than you) but i am proud to have known you in the past and to be able to see how you have grown in the present. i can´t wait to see how you will be in the future. keep writing...you have a real talent.
