Hello everyone!I would ask you all to consider what I’m about to write here very deeply, and if you feel so inclined, to show people my URL for this profile. It is pretty simple, what I think might be an underlying force that fundamentally affects all social interaction and the majority of human thought.We all have addictions, right?You are addicted to food, to sleep, to many habits and many thoughts. Ever think of how you might be if you were not addicted to these things?I am not suggesting one gives up eating, or sleeping, or even habits. What I am suggesting is the possibility that we are all quite mad, repeating behaviours and thoughts and somehow expecting different outcomes. It is all self-fulfilling but I will tell you from my own experience that it is far easier to break these addictions than to keep them. The energy you pour into maintaining a status quo is certainly MORE energy than it would take to evolve with life, since it is obvious to everyone that things are always changing. We’ll set aside philosophy and stick to the essentials that are practical to living.Take someone who is addicted to coffee. Very common addiction. The person drinks coffee because they are tired and need more energy to get things done. What this person may not consider is that they are demanding too much of themselves, they are committing violence to themselves, probably almost constantly. The person must maintain the addiction to coffee in order to keep up with their life. But is it really theirs if it is all dependent on a drug? What if this person gave up coffee? Many things could happen. Two main possibilities is that they would learn to function without coffee and realize just how much of a habit it really is. Or their life would start to fall apart. A constructed life that works well is merely an illusion and weakens us in our ability to react to the inherent dynamicism of life.A man hates his job. He hates his job and always fondly remembers a vacation to the Caribbean where he learned to surf. He has only surfed that one time and wasn’t that great at it. So for a desktop background he puts a photo of someone surfing, someone who resembles him or who he’d like to be, and changes the picture periodically. The self-medicating keeps him calm when he needs to be calm at work. It reminds him of better times in the past and the possibility of better times in the future. But what if he removed this desktop picture and put something totally neutral in its place? What if he did that and became more and more miserable at work, more and more angry and confrontational? Little things ALWAYS make a big difference, even if you do not see it yet.What if it lead to a breakdown in his life and established relationships? This is neither good nor bad, but the truth is, that in this state of discontent, where the man does not allow himself this small pleasure to keep him happy - like a house of cards - it all collapses. It is possible this man can now make many new choices. One choice is deciding to visit the Caribbean again, NOW. Doing it as soon as possible. No expectations. When he arrives in the Caribbean he is afraid, he has come alone. Him and his wife have temporarily separated. She is pregnant and he is worried about his duties as a father, as a husband. But what of his duties to himself? He has come back here where he learned to surf to find out what those duties may be, to see if he could be a happier person if he took care of himself for once, took care of himself first. And there is every possibility that this man becomes a surfer. Perhaps he is a surfing instructor and his wife and newborn child move down with him and live with him on the beach. Perhaps they are all a lot happier. They still fight sometimes, they are faced with crime and a big change in the quality of medicare. But the man is finally true to himself, who he is NOW, and he is happy. Or perhaps the wife does not join him. Perhaps she doesn’t love this new him, but then, if this is true…did she ever love HIM? Or did she only love his habits, his styles? Did she ever even know him? The man is responsible for the child he brought into the world, but he is also responsible for himself. Living as he needs to does not negate his ability to care for the child, though his wife may interfere. What’s next for this man, if he chooses to explore this dream? Perhaps he fails as a surfing instructor and has to move back to Canada. Perhaps he becomes a homeless wanderer. Perhaps he gets bored of surfing and tutors English instead. The point is his discontent is useful. Not utilitarian useful, but useful if he would like to be happier. A short period of discontent is worth everything if it helps you allow yourself to change.You probably want to change right now. You have plans about what and how to change, but the desire to develop, to be happier, remains. Maybe if you planned less and lived more the answers might come to you of their own accord.It is likely that things are far easier than we suspect, because we make them difficult. Look at how people live and it is obvious we MAKE things difficult for ourselves and each other. We make them difficult because it is habit, it is what is familiar, what is comfortable. It is comfortable because this way we avoid boredom. If we avoid boredom, then we do not have to be with ourselves. We do not have to face our Great Discontent. And if we can avoid ourselves, then we can avoid our fundamental loneliness. Loneliness, I suggest, may be the root cause. I am not talking about Enlightenment, Nirvana, Heaven, or bliss. I am talking about attainable happiness, stopping the violence against yourself, and playing.People are really angry, but they are angry because they feel betrayed, fundamentally. Life is not what they WANT it to be. Things don’t go according to plan. This continues in all things. But more than anything there is an aversion to loneliness. I will tell you that I have faced my loneliness and it is no big deal. It is not hard work, and it is not painful as you might imagine it. Instead, I will tell you from my own limited experience and limited way of seeing things that if you face your loneliness, as I did, you open yourself up to many more possibilities. And if you face your loneliness, then the fear of these possibilities fades. The boredom fades too, if you can look at your loneliness. The struggle within yourself to change ends too, if you can look at your loneliness. Giving up an addiction to pleasure, to what is familiar, is easy: simply by facing your own loneliness.You can make the choice at any time. No preparation is necessary. You do not have to be spiritual. This is the most practical thing in the world. I suggest to you, that the happiness and goodness you deeply want is available this very moment, through literal means and through an uncommon change in how you look at things. If you are ready (and if you are you will Know you are), then it takes nothing more than to say these words aloud, whenever you feel like it:“I am ready to face my loneliness. Please, show me how I can face my loneliness.” You do not have to believe these words. You do not have to believe things can change and get better and better. You do not have to believe in any deity, any religion, and diet or any fad. You do not have to believe I am telling the truth. You do not have to believe you can be happier. Belief comes when you do not see, open your eyes and there is no need to believe.All you have to do is look inside yourself and look at me and where I am in my life now, to send this message to you… and see that it is at least possible to transcend your loneliness, transcend boredom. If you SEE that it is even slightly possible, and you say these words: “I am ready to face my loneliness. Please, show me how I can face my loneliness,” then magic may just happen. Magic is just a different way of seeing things. And it is right there, neither good nor bad, neither beautiful nor ugly. This is not about ending struggle on the outside, but ending the struggle within. And maybe you will learn what Love is, and maybe you will be happier. Everything IS possible.What are you waiting for? Conditions will never be right. Take the risk when you can and above all be gentle with yourself. And that’s it. Thank you for reading this.PS. Obviously if you don't know me please don't take my self-help authoritarian style of writing too seriously. I've just been concerned about a lot of people really close to me and thought I might try to send out some good vibes, and this is what I ended up typing. If you disagree with me that can be a really good thing. Perhaps you are thinking for yourself? That's really all I ask of people. HUGGLES!
