33. i am in limbo lately.. trying to get a job thru a recruiter.. and i almost found a
Buddhist Group here in W-S, but apparently the web site was old.. ..

actually i see myself in the freepers, in the past i believed such foolish things..and was so proud of it.... The Buddhists call this world Samsara, nothing ever works out entirely like you want it too, Samsara is referred to as a world of suffering and the freepers are actually just suffering the consequences of ignorance, they think they are having such a grand time with the hi-five'n white guys... <that was a skit in an old comedy show.. really funny..

the 'Noble' part of the Four 'Noble' truths is that it is so rare that anyone sees it and tries to become selfless and help others.. and to free themselves of the illusion of the self. the 'concept of self' is the chains that bind beings to suffering.

people wonder why they are that way.. it is more like 'How' they are, i see them the same why i see a drunk on skid row wasting his precious life seeking alcohol.. a gang member seeking recognition from other miscreants.. a pathetic junkie lost in their addiction.. Donald Trump outsourcing a small town factory for another dollar, a politician campaigning on his support of the death penalty...it is all the same thing..differeint flavor.

the only thing one can do is improve one's self, while trying to do the right thing.. i view the world as indras web.. it is like an infinite 3D holo grid of intersecting lines and at each intersection is a mirrored sphere that reflects every other mirrored sphere.. and when we improve ourselves or do a good thing it reflects in every other sphere and changes them a little bit.. if you believe in reincarnation it means more having infinite time to deal with it.. the old Indra story described it as a spider web rotated 180* stretching into infinity with a dew drop at each intersecting line reflection the other drops

reincarnation on a Buddhist level is actually like a being having their particular load of negative karma, and when they die they leave behind some of the weight thru actions and intension's, and hopefully didn't pick up more than they lost.. so there is an end to it.. the Noble Eight Fold path is simply a method of living so as not to pick up any more negative karma. each being is actually a Buddha, hidden under the load of negative karma.. it is like they just got lost or caught up in Samsara.. i look at it as a cosmic addiction of some sort. we have to go thru rehab, of some sort before we are allowed to the next step. Meditation is the KEY out of here.

i have a technical recruiter helping me write my resume and sending it out to factories.. i dont think i can wait anymore on him.. i do have some outstanding electronic certifications, i worked for Boeing Space and Communications.. i worked on the F22, C17 and Delta3 & Sea Launch Rockets
i repair damaged and failed circuit boards.. i can save them a lot of money. will probably end up and McDonald's
