Consolidated Thoughts: October, 2008

  • I now realize that the majority of American people are far too conditioned beyond repair.
  • It takes a nation of people to take the power back.
  • Yes, our nation has become exceedingly neurotic.
  • Yes, we are morally corrupt.
  • Yes, we avoid crucial conflicts.
  • Yes, I am angry just like you.
  • No, I will not apologize.
  • I can’t stress enough, how much Politickin’ ain’t easy.
  • I’ve had a conversation with a homeless man that was far more intellectual than a politician. (This obviously put me in my place, and put things into perspective.)
  • The homeless man made it easier to dissect myself; Which in-turn, simplified social structures.
  • Everybody has an asshole on them.
  • One thing that resonated with me was: ‘You have to forget about yourself, and learn how to live off the land.’
  • I didn’t quite understand this until I started building things for the people.
  • This is where the whole ‘Build it and they will come’ theory comes into play.
  • Yes, I am everyday people. Just like Sly, and just like Speech.
  • Yes, I do build upon my ancestors path, and I stand firmly upon their shoulders.
  • No, I will not apologize.
  • No, I will not grovel at any beings feet because of ‘high’ status, nor should they act any different because of their prowess.
  • The vanity of the ego will surely be the demise of any noble man.
  • Be careful when pursuing knowledge; isolation can become comforting.
  • Knowledge is innate within each individual, however, it is up to us to delve into that void. This void is very intense, which is why a lot of people are stupid.
  • Once you’re in it, you’re in it! Nothing can move you. You’re everywhere, and nowhere. Time and space dematerialize.
  • When an individual encounters the Universe, mindfulness is key.
  • DO NOT self-destruct.
  • Step lightly, smash concrete.
