Discussions

Within my discussions I may appear to take certain “sides” of a discussion, I will appear to have certain beliefs and be appearing to defend them. I make no claim to any immutable beliefs.

My goal is not changing anyone’s beliefs, but to simply help us to look at the origin of them. Show life from a new perspective.

I welcome any and all feedback, disagreements, opinions, viewpoints, and thoughts.

Hands

Our hands are used to give us what we want. When we want to eat or put things in our mouths, we use our hands. When we want to listen to music, we use our hands to turn on music, put headphones in, or to play music. When we want to block out sound from the outside world, we use our hands to put in earplugs or cover our ears. When we don't want to be seen or see something we use our hands to cover our eyes. 
When we feel pain inside, we use our hands to give pain to others, we use our hands for violence. When we feel Love for someone, we use our hands to hold them, caress them, and hug them. We use our hands to help someone who has fallen get back up. We clap our hands to show our appreciation and gratitude to others. We clap our hands to be connected to music. Our hands shake when we are afraid. Our hands are steady when we are calm. Our hands pet animals and hold things that we hold dear. 
Our hands can give, and our hands can take. We can use our hands to take thing that's don't belong to us, and we can use our hands to give gifts to others. We can use our hands to give joy or pain. Our hands can pat someone on the back or be put upon a shoulder. Our hands can be used to show romantic or sexual interest with a slight tough of someone's arm. Our arms can be used to defend and push away. Our hands catch us when we fall and push us back up after we've fallen. Our hands are simply the means to get that of which we desire. Our hands give us connection with those outside of ourselves. We choose what type of connection we make. 
The hands are tools for our desires. Want to know what your desires are? Pay attention to what your hands are doing. Love and Peace!

Eyes

Our eyes don't deceive us. Our eyes are truth shining through. Our eyes refuse to lie, our eyes refuse to give in to illusions, and our eyes refuse to accept our misconceptions. Our eyes do not allow us to hide our true selves. Our eyes do not allow us to be someone other than who we are. Our eyes speak only truth. Our eyes see only truth. It is only our false beliefs and fears that distort what we see with our eyes. We fear people knowing our true selves. We fear people seeing who we really are, and we fear being judged for being authentic. Our eyes are a direct line to our authentic selves.
When we feel shame or guilt, we avert our eyes or keep them looking down in order to avoid eye contact with others. We fear what others may see something in our eyes that will give us away and people may find out who we really are or what we are hiding. We are afraid of people knowing we aren't being authentic. When we feel confidence in who we are and are being authentic, we have no reason to avoid eye contact with others. We have no shame or guilt and therefor have nothing to hide so we make eye contact without a care in the world. 
When we suppress our emotions, we don't want people looking at our eyes. We all know that people will be able to tell exactly what we are feeling at any given moment by simply looking into our eyes. When we try to hide our pain, sadness, or fear we avoid eye contact. We all know that if we are feeling sadness that all we have to do is to look into the eyes of someone who Loves us, and they will immediately know something is wrong and you don't ever have to say a word. By simply making eye contact with a Loved one, it releases all the tears we are holding within, and we can no longer control them despite how hard we may try.  Our eyes are the truth tellers and can neither deceive nor be deceived. 
The eyes are the window to the soul. Want to truly know someone? Look into their eyes. Love and Peace!

Ears

As stated in the post mouths, our mouths are for our own self. Our ears are for others. Our ears are so we can hear others. Our ears are so we can know that we are not alone. Our ears are to hear the beauty that is all around us. Our ears open us up to the truth that we are not alone and that we are not all that exists. Our ears remind us that not everything is about us as much as our mouths would like us to believe. 
The only thing that our ears are used for is sound coming in. If we were all alone and not surrounded by all the other beings in this world we would have no use for our ears. Our ears tell us about those around us if we actually use them. More often than not, our selfish mouths are too busy getting in the way for us to use our ears. We only use our ears as a method of enforcing the mouth.
When we use our ears, we can hear everything that everyone is trying to tell us. We can hear the mouths of everyone around us, we can hear how much everyone wants to be heard and how much no one is using their own ears. Ears open our world up to the wholeness of the universe. Our ears expand our world beyond our own limited view of ourselves. The world is a beautiful place filled with music and laughter and harmony.
Ears are the window to the world outside ourselves. Want to know the world better? Use your ears more. Love and Peace!

Mouths

Our mouths are solely for ourselves. Our mouths are wholly selfish. Our mouths were created for our own sake. Everything that goes in the mouth and comes out of it are for our own sake. Our mouths lack the ability to be selfless. Our mouths lack the ability to do for others. Our mouths lack the desire to do anything for others. The sole purpose of our mouths is for us and no one else. Everything we do with our mouths, make us feel better. Our mouths can't do anything for anyone outside of ourselves.
We eat food with our mouths which is for us to get nutrition, to stay alive. We drink water with our mouths to stay alive. We put alcohol, sugar, salt, drugs, pills, cigarettes/vapes, and all sorts of other things in our mouths for our own pleasure. When we kiss someone, we do it because it feels good on our lips. We suck on things with our mouth as a form of soothing and comfort. Babies naturally do this until it is taught out of them. The words we speak are for our own sake. We use our mouths to speak of our accomplishments, achievements, feats, and to brag about ourselves. 
Even when we use our mouths to tell others nice things, we are still doing it for our own sake because it makes us feel good about ourselves. When we tell others that we Love them, we do so because it makes us feel good, we do it because we want to express what we are feeling inside. When we give someone a compliment with our mouth we do so because we like to see others happy, we compliment in order to feel good inside ourselves.
There isn't a single thing that our mouth can do that isn't completely selfish. The more we use our mouths, the more it feeds the sense of self and the less we see others all around us. The more we use our mouths, the more selfish we become. Why do so many of us find it so hard to close our mouths? Why do so many of us find it so hard to listen to others without having the incessant need to open our own mouths to give them our opinions or solve their problems for them, or to simply take over and make it about ourselves in any way possible.
The mouth is the window to the ego. Want to quiet the ego? Close the mouth. Love and Peace!

When I Die

When the sword of nothingness ends my life, I will laugh at those who mourn my death. - Rumi

When I die, I'll shed this worn and tattered body. For those around me who are still using their bodies, I will appear to have gone away. For me it will be no different than what I have always known. I will simply blink and continue on. When I die there shall be no grieving for things lost since there is no loss. My body shall be placed in the ground to be returned to its mother from whence it came. My body becoming nourishment for mother after being nourished by her throughout its stay in this world.
Those who know me best will be by my side. When I die, those who have already left their bodies behind and who have never left me will be there. Those who are still using their bodies will grieve my body's touch and smile. They will shed tears of joy over the loss of the body, but that grief will soon be replaced with joy by the wisdom that tells them I haven't gone anywhere and am still with them. 
When I die, I will be dancing on my own grave. Dancing for joy, dancing for the beauty of it all, and dancing for Love. When I die, I want those who know me best to party along with me. Death is a celebration, not a gloomy affair. When I die, I send an open invitation to anyone who would like to party with me. Smoke your weed, drink your wine, sing, dance, be joyous, play music, have sex and eat to your hearts content. Life is beautiful and mysterious and is a miracle.
When I die, I will still be here patiently waiting for those who come along after me. Love and Peace!

We should say farewell to our loved ones with no more grief than would be natural were they starting on a long journey on which they would be absent a number of years, for we will see them again, when we follow them, just as surely as on earth if we journeyed to their new home.
