'Waste' Articles
People often judge another with the lament “What a waste”. How do they know? Waste is a human invention. We have the waste construct in our heads, and I don’t feel that any psychic construct is totally invalid. It allows us to build intention, and informs us of when we are not on intention. The wasted life is the life unlived. Everything else is cause/effect. Waste = dissonance, static, inaction, speech, even intention, but can we tune in a radio by whining at it and complaining that someone told us it would fix itself but it isn’t? We whine at the world that we live in, because someone else is supposed to fix it. God, if we could all hear him, would be saying “I gave you the remote”. We have the remote.
“Don’t waste life in doubts and fears; spend yourself on the work before you, well assured that the right performance of this hour’s duties will be the best preparation for the hours and ages that will follow it.” Ralph Waldo Emerson (American Poet, Lecturer and Essayist, 1803-1882)
“Waste no more time arguing about what a good man should be. Be one.” Marcus Aurelius (Roman emperor, best known for his Meditations on Stoic philosophy, AD 121-180)
What is Waste?
What is waste, my friends? A lost opportunity. Stuff we don’t need? Something squandered. Excess. All answers are valid because we all see it differently, and that is perhaps the key point. People often judge another with the lament, “What a waste”. I would ask, how do they know? Every choice of one thing involves an action that excludes another thing. In reality, nothing is wasted. Everything is contextualized. Reality is sort of like water, formless, but conforms to the needs of its living components. I suppose it might be valid if someone was wasting your time intentionally? Hmm, well… Seek More
Efficient Function
It seems to me that it isn’t a value system issue we are lacking, it’s a sense of our personal drives and cycles. I always say you really can know everything, just not all at once. Given time, your “time” dimension can extend through any probability, and you can have had contact with any and all possible happenings. Time is an artificial construct we use to file and coordinate events. In nature there really is no waste. It all recycles. But this infinite temporal corridor is deleterious to our function in these “avatars” produced from earths resources. Again, it’s not… Seek More
Wasted Time
On the subject of time and the perceived passing of a life, all that constitutes our life endures in memory. By memory, I don’t mean human organic memory, but energy function based on memory. Functions, your actions, leave a causal imprint of “memory” on reality even if people can’t trace this energy back to its source. But we still have this relationship to memory, and not only our own. So why do we say people waste our time when we are all sharing the temporal dimension? It isn’t our time they waste, they waste our memory, but what is this… Seek More
Wasted Energy
Psychological integration involves a biological “sympathy”. If you subscribe to no psychic energy in your environment, you will be impressed with all of them. This has been proven. Stated another way; He who stands for nothing will fall for anything. I myself feel it vital to engage this biological “sympathy”. There is a lot of criticism regarding sympathy as a psychological behaviour, but let’s be honest. You are in sympathy with something all the time anyway, so why not make the best of it? A powerful and life affirming sympathy is “nature”, the “animal”. It speaks to us, but we… Seek More
Self Interest
The subject is waste, and people are very concerned with conservatism. It’s like saying “Here. Let me keep all the blood in your hand. You know you need blood in your hand right?”. Taken to the extreme you will lose the hand. The same applies to psychic energy. “Here let me keep your energy on these thoughts only. You know you have to be aware of these concerns right?”. This makes people crazy. I have a practice I hold to, and I feel it serves me well. I don’t invalidate anything that’s in my head. Have any of you tried to… Seek More
Self Expression
We objectify love making it a means to a different end, and the divorce rate is high. We believe love is a static, but we perhaps should ground a bit more. Everything you want will all satisfy this classification: A means to self expression. Yet we are told that any energy or resources spent on self expression is what? Typically a waste. Yes. I have been in such deep sorrow before that I could not resist crying in public. I had no more reserves to shore up that wall. I was told two things; that I was creating a disturbance,… Seek More
Change the Script
The wasted word is the word unspoken. The wasted life is the life unlived. Everything else is cause/effect. If you get stuck in a recursive pattern, where is the issue? Do people really make you do the same things repeatedly? And the first time you did it, how could you say it would be a waste? How would you know? Recursive thinking they call rehearsal, and we all get that script. Now admittedly some small portion of that programming is useful. We do need to survive, but does the script stop there? No. It pretty much sets your life path… Seek More
We Have The Remote
We have lives. We have a need and not only that. We have a desire to work if only the literal sense of doing something. Yet as Pink Floyd says “All in all you’re just another brick in the wall”. How many agree that life is what they want? While some clever but still limited leader type sees how the machine works and is busy poking buttons, he doesn’t really know how it works and thus businesses routinely fail. But it isn’t an innocent business they are working, it’s us. Money isn’t real, people are. Wal-mart isn’t real, it’s an idea that… Seek More
