    I came over this sentence today which made me laugh.

    "When all else fails, just mention "quantum tunneling" or "strings"."

    That's funny. I saw this bumper sticker today that made me laugh out loud: "Honk if you have to Poop."

    Thank you, Mojo. Nice way to start the day.
    Sun has just risen and still a full moon is shining into the room.

    Woke up this morning with a sentence in my head.

    Quote We exist in buair
    Of course I thought and I quote "What the hell is buair? I’ve never heard the word?"

    So a quick search leads to buaireamh, as buair is the verbal noun of buaireamh!

    So the words in my head meant
    Quote We live in sorrow, vexation.
    Ok....thanks I think?

    A quick push leads to the word sth.
    Which moving forwards links to the human gene STH.
    Which links to Saitohin.
    Which can then be linked to a loss of.......and I quote
    Quote a lack of emotions and not recognizing the needs of others in the family.
    But then I am cherry picking!

    Strange the words which you dream. I had zero knowledge of the word buair in this life!

    Oh well
    Normal..!

    Oh come on mate....its not easy as Im sure you know.

    I am trying but to what end? There is no thing which I can perceive as being of worth here so I am finding it difficult.

    Should I use another for personal gain, in any regard?
    Well I do not wish to. I have time....yes.......but then that only creates in me a feeling of guilt!

    I comprehend many of your postulations and yes at this time I do drink.
    You actually amaze me with how much you actually can feel.
    But give me a break....I woke with a word I had never known (at this point), so yes I had a lookie!!!

    You want it to change.......give me a reason?

    feel ya by the way....lol

    Henry David Thoreau:

    “Most men lead lives of quiet desperation and go to the grave with the song still in them.”

    Most means not all. There are alternative paths.
    The problem is that people stop seeking, and become addicted to the status quo of their desperation.
    And there is no shortage of voices who tell them that there is nothing worth seeking.

    Thats quite a quote....thank you

    I haven’t stopped seeking but I am within non change as I find this place so very saddening. There is nothing here which I want.
    No, stop, I will not leave by my own hand....there must be a reasonable explanation for my being within this.

    So Ulli if you could assist.......what is a alternative path in a place of
    terra?

    More importantly....how is your friends son?

    You say your quest is about discovering purpose, a reasonable explanation for being here, or finding an alternative path in the place of terra.
    So basically you are looking for what this place has to offer YOU,
    rather than if it has needs that you can address.
    Like a fireman who is inside a burning house, with a firehose in his hand, yet can't remember WTF he is doing there.

    To me this shows that you have yet to find your own creative drive,
    which really only seeks a blank slate on which to start wielding the pen.

    So, is there any activity other than putting things into your body, that you enjoy?
    Because if there isn't I'm afraid you are on your own.

    Last I heard about friend's son is that he is in a coma.
    Probably was looking for another place, and not accepting his surroundings.

    I feel you have me completely wrong. There is only a selfish need in this place but that depends on exactly where you think you are, would it not? To me....my feelings, my selflessness, my empathy, tell me that this 'place' is wrong. To give anything to this 'place of thought' only assists to create more harm for others trapped here.

    You are correct.......I do not recall exactly why I have awareness here but I will find it and in doing so will change.

    I have experience and also knowledge of my creational 'drive', having found that I require limitation of my thoughts so as to limit unintended action within this limitation.

    If you perceive that I 'enjoy' the concept of a body and therefore it's functions or addictions....you are incorrect. I do not.
    There is nothing except the feeling that I have assisted or helped which has any meaning whether that is by word, deed or thought.

    So I take it that I am on my own....and that was always fine.

    My impression is that you are depressed, and in that you are not alone.
    But with time this will pass, and there will be moments again where it all feels like one's efforts are worthwhile.
    This place feels wrong to you probably because there are processes at work that are akin to a total rebirth, and you may be only seeing the destruction side of those processes.
    I live in a developing country with so many people enjoying life that it is infectuous.
    But when I was still living in Europe and the UK I was often in a state of hopelessness.

    So here I have one piece of really good news. It is about a county sherriff in Indiana standing up against federal agents from the FDA and the DOJ, in an effort to protect an organic farmer from their harrassment. YAY!

    http://www.dontcomply.com/oathkeeper...-local-farmer/

    “Specifically, the FDA was inspecting his farm without a warrant as much as every two weeks. Typical inspections occur annually. The Department of Justice (DOJ) had subpoenaed him for a grand jury in Michigan in which he was to bring his production documents. The Feds wanted to make this farmer an example.”

    Rogers continued, “My research concluded that no one was getting sick from this distribution of this raw milk. It appeared to be harassment by the FDA and the DOJ, and making unconstitutional searches, in my opinion. The farmer told me that he no longer wished to cooperate with the inspections of his property.”



    Sheriff Rogers wrote to the DOJ and let them know that he would take action if the federal inspectors came without a signed warrant that specified probable cause to give a clear reason why they needed to conduct their invasive searches:
    “I understand that you have made recent requests to (the farmer) for documents and to appear before a grand jury, and he has had a number of inspections and attempted inspections on his farm within Elkhart County. This is notice that any further attempts to inspect this farm without a warrant signed by a judge, based on probable cause, will result in federal inspectors’ removal or arrest for trespassing by my officers or I.

    In addition, if any further action is taken by the federal government on (the farmer), while he is in Elkhart County, I will expect that you or federal authorities contact my office prior to such action. I will expect you to forward this information to your federal associates, including the FDA.”

    Didn't want to spoil the ending.
    But maybe the best part is not the outcome, but the fact that a local community sherriff stood up for his people.

    Hi lake!

    I have that happen too sometimes, wow that one sounds sad...

    I recall one morning I was thinking of "enchanted diapers". My thoughts are often nonsense

    There's a few awful ones I won't repeat!

    ONE time... I awoke and heard a scary voice, like actual talking in my head. It was awful, hope that never happens again :/
