About Me

I edited my profile with Thomas Myspace Editor V4.4 (www.strikefile.com/myspace)My spiritual journey is the most important priority in my current life. I realize attachment and worldy desires cause much of the worlds sufferings.'Tibet Buddhism' set me free, opened my eyes,opened my mind, and opened my heart. Everything is empty- Beginingless and Endless. "I always believed God was truth, but now i realize truth is god.The approach to truth is invaluable to me." I'm beginning a new chapter (humboldt, 08).I look foward to neighboring the redwoods and the coast. I can't wait to get involved with the new community and learn new things every day. I am interested in african american theology, african studies,native american studies, and christian fundamentals.I'm intrigued by the black panther movement.We have waged war on Mother Earth and have successfully earned Mutual Assured Destruction. We are disposable, careless, and mindless. We deserve to suffer. More than the sufferings of our land and all the living things on the land. All the sufferings that exist because of our existence as humanity. I hope to travel to the yellow star and reincarnate into the roots of a tree. I love my persian companion more than i care to express in words.I'm quite the observer.i'd like to call my self an anthropologist. i'm embracing the organic lifestyle.I love nature and all animals.i was evolved in Asia (Korea and Japan).i thrive for having good karma. i am a mixture of korean and italian and live and embrace my culture. i stand, will fight for animal/human rights.I'm compassionate.I'M A ZAPATISTA.i'm dedicated into making a good difference in this world.you can call me a modern day hippie.Western culture is destroying the world.I'm trying to avoid having an american mind(whiteness).In humboldt i will be doing alot of environmental work! Maybe i'll even hit up Oregon.I also want to do environmental work in foreign countries. I want to live and die in a foreign country. Cultural anthropoly is my passion. i enjoy:gardening,reading,traveling,cleaning,LEARNING, COOKING,and sleeping. Modest Mouse and Atmosphere are my favorite american artists. 94.1 (kpfa Berkeley) democracy now ( listen to the truth ) i am a human-being, not a human-doing.I Love indian food,indian music, indian silk, and indian culture. I'm going to school up north to major in environmental studies..i want to preserve the redwoods and the coast. Eventually i'll move to Korea with my spouse to live with my mom and settle down. "The universe that we inhabit and our shared perception of it are the results of a common karma. Likewise, the places that we will experience in future rebirths will be the outcome of the karma that we share with the other beings living there. The actions of each of us, human or nonhuman, have contributed to the world in which we live. We all have a common responsibility for our world and are connected with everything in it." Perhaps the deepest reason why we are afraid of death is beacuse we do not know who we are. We believe in a personal, unique and seperate identity; but if we dare to examine it, we find that this identity depends entirely on an endless collection of things to prop it up; our name, our 'biography', our parents, family, home, job, friends, credit cards..it is on their fragile and transient support that we rely for our security. - Sogyal Rinpoche
