Difficulty

The art of difficulty lies in looking at your big problem, then breaking it down into lots of little problems that you can work so when you put the little solutions back into place the whole is a big easy rather than the difficulty you were faced with. It may never go away and there will always be new difficulties, but like a hammer away away we go.

With this in mind I have been turning to my practice of meditation as I have been perceiving great difficulties with it. Particularly in the fact that I can’t.

The small problems that I’ve managed to break it down to are

1) Lack of discipline
2) Finding a stable position to meditate from.

1. is easy. Discipline I can achieve with the myriad of techniques available. The difficulty is mainly coming from 2.

2. Is difficult because it relies on the fact that the sound mind operates from a sound body, as the two are inter-related. The body, in this particular, mine, is the problem because of a number of factors.

a) Poor posture
b) lower back pain
c) stress levels
d) bad diet
e) smoking
f) slouchiness
g) pain, generally. Everywhere.

So to address these, I am going about as many options as I can.

I am going to a Chiropractor to sort my back and spine out.
Yoga to sort my muscles out.
Relaxation methods to aid this process.
Affirmations to make this happen.
Relaxation pills.

The lot.

The problem is… its not working yet. Its fustrating and difficult not being able to achieve my goal of inner peace when my body feels like its deliberately working against me. Working against my because of the choices I made on a day to basis which have affected who I am in the now, and now I must continually make painful choices to become what I want.

Still, success lies through the difficulty I am sure.
I will keep you updated. Assuming anybody reads this, which I imagine is a small number indeed.

New Year, New Resolutions.

Here we go again with the whole on off thing I tend to have with writing about this blog. I really should keep it up, kind of in the same way I should really get a life and stop whinging about my job.

So, without further ado, this year is the year I get off my sorry ass, start writing some ponderous amusements on the nature of the universe, startle you all with the enchantment of my wit and hopefully make someone laugh in the process.
To this end, I have to obliterate the distractions in my life.
Like smoking cigarettes.

Its been a long time since I first grappled with the brown god of smoke, of the brown pantheon (pretty shitty city);
at the wee age of 18 years old (I’m 24 now). Before University, I was this mental health-obsessed nutter who had a punchbag benchpress-cum-gym thing in my own garage. I even had one of those little toner things you put around your waist to convince yourself you’re ultra-hardcore about those abs.

Sweat optional

So then I stumble along into the pissladen cider drinking furore that is first year university and not only am I introduced to my first habitual act of smoking, I am encouraged into such delights as “ciggie in the shower” and “ciggie on the loo” for the smoker on the go who just can’t slow.

Fast forward 6 years later and Im a wheezing puffing mystic who hasnt sprinted for more than 10 seconds without brown bile spilling from every sweat-pore.

Ive decided with some dismay to finally ditch in, using the new years hangover as a catapult and excuse to smoke up the last of my cigarettes and prepare onwards for 2012!. 11, sorry. I know it might not be the end of the world but, if it is, I want it to be on MY terms.

So, with the first lapse “over”, 9 days in because of uhhh… some late night stresses and interesting methods of staying awake, I am now nicotine free.
We shall see how long this drought lasts and whether it feeds the floods of my motivation/creation/blog-gestation.

Avid readers, its been far too long.

The Machine

Posted: 10th June 2010 by Brokenmind in 1

There is, I have found, something more disturbing than the hellhounds of the NWO out to steal our souls or the concept of no life after death –

Working for Pizza Hut.
Honestly, try it for a year or two and see.
It has this [i]magical[/i] ability to suck the living soul out of the body and replace it with an automaton.
Every progress I had made every insight every joy is blinded by the priests of Pizza. I used to be fairly sharp, but after eating GM modified pizza for a year (Yes. Yes it is. Didn’t know that? Hmmm guess you shoulda checked the label) I think I’m turning into a dummy.

Gotta keep fighting.

Ignorance Is Bliss
And She is so Blissful
Wandering without an eye
cannot percieve the sky

Cannot see the flames on the horizon
Cannot smell the poison gas chamber.
The oxygen slowly sucked out sleeping
She’ll never know what hit her.

Ignorance is bliss
And she is so Blissfull
Wandering cynic
Meaningless Bullshit.

Ignore the evidence
Ignore the evidence
Lock down, pleasure seeking
Yet to see the filfth she’s eating.

Ahhh, I love Mithras’ time don’t you? so many presents, and wine, and booze, and eating, and chucking your money into a big pot for people to pocket so you can spend even more time working trying to repay your debt. You either owe a debt to your bank or a debt to society. Maybe both. Still, I’m not complaining, I love pigs in blankets. MMM non-Kosher food. I sit around, and love the fact that when I get back to my parents house, the first time this year no less, I actually sit back, breathe in and feel free. No stress, No shit, No Girlfriend, No drugs, No Responsibility, No Job, No friends, No-thing good on tell-lies-vision and empty-tv (MTV), No Cat, No irritating housemates, Nothing of the sort. It just all feels so, haven like. The food is cooked, the village is quiet, The showers are freaking AWESOME, I can read my books and above all write without

A) Having to lock myself in my room to avoid TV and projections

B) Having to stuff pillows up against a wall so I can reach my computer (having it at the end of your bed without a chair is serious strain on the back man)

C) Breathing in all the fungus from my damp and seriously messy floor. I mean those cleaner ladies off tv, they would have problems man.

So, even while I sit here, bitching about all my problems at the most festive and materialistically driven time of year (but I sure aint complainin about the new shoes!) I’m reassured in that I know it still IS a magical time of the year. I can put my worries away, if only for a short while, and remember that I’m in the moment, and can remain there for what bliss is possible during my short stay, with my family whom I love very much.

and an Italics button that won’t turn off, sorry guys.

So, heres to some meditation time, reflection, joy, good cheer, and most importantly peace that Christ-Mithras’-time will bring.

And to lots and lots of mince pies.

Have a great Christmas all!

Why do you always think of the poems and philosophies that swarm through your mind when your at work?
Whenever I come to write something here its like my brain just turns into empty space, but when I’m actually doing something, well, can’t get it to shut up lol.

But anyways. I feel like I’ve accomplished one of life’s many things to do before you do. I have seen what Optimus Prime looked like before he came to Earth. (and no, its not from the stupid look in the new film). And thats enough for me.

Until next time, and when I have something more important to say.

Be well.

I have decided.

Mushrooms are amazing. Everyone should try them. Now.

Ever still with this wistless whisper of sleep that batteries my skull and cools a chill on the once hard fires of blazing truth. Winter sets in as I lose my kin and every action is remote. Control on the remote, who controls who? The thoughts in my head or the instinct instead or the feeling I’m an operater playing a computer game playing God just to choose an adventure ahead. Gone is the desire to share love but how can one desire when desire no longer rages in you, not to sleep, to eat, to be, to see, to love, to care, my thoughts to share, no sex save the mechanism I don’t feel like I’m getting deeper I’m skipping up to a surface to hold my breath only to find theres no air. Just this stagnant lack of any kind of emotion save the occasional theological rage or the tide of jealousy that corrupts the mind and its so hard to find a way out of this mess, this unprovoked test on my conscience. The survival instinct, level one root red. Silly to think its just in my head. The foundation the cause, holds with pregnant pause as the Reptilian inside the struggler the Hyde sees its predators clothed in human skin, no enemy in dust or trance-thought outtrace but the pheremone seeking guided missile of hormale looking to impregnant my female and leave me cuckolded in this strange attractor. Not even my female I cannot bear to say I own, but you feel like you want to protect whats closest to home, and you wish that everyone could see the world like you, and not be slave to sensations anew.

Thought for the day.

How strange it is, the absence of words. For the past few months, as you may know, I have been engaged in a war against my own thoughts. Dark and obstructing they may be, I recently found a place in meditation that brooks no conflict within myself, and it is there, away from the distractions of life that I find my peace. When there is no desire to be good, there is no counter desire to be bad. You cannot wholely be one or the other. Despite the poisonous frequency that my thoughts may trend in different dimensional spaces, my actions towards others speak otherwise, and I hope they speak louder than thought. Inwardly, I scream and rage.
Our desire to give up our freedom is more pronounced than I first thought. My reflection in the face of reality shows no desire to grow, only to give up.

More and more, the original use of drugs for paradigm shifting gives way to the regression of pure hedonism.
More and more, we believe that shiny little box in the corner of our rooms as it tells us how to live.
More and more, we are supplied shit to make us dream that our reality is fine, that we can ignore whats going on in the world because it doesn’t concern us, it concerns our politicians. They make our choices now. They tell us who to fight, who’s wrong or right. We don’t care. We’re more interested in Pete Doherty’s drug habits, or Britney’s impromptu breakdown. We’re Vicarious. Living our eyes through special filters designed to numb us into cowsheds.

No, I don’t need to think, friends is on. I don’t want to watch a film that makes me think, I just want to get stoned and
sit there like a lemon, I’ve had a difficult day at work you know. Thinking is for all those people who make rules, yaknow?

More and more, our government shuts down the corners of freedom that we think we won’t miss. One domino reaction against another. It’s already started, so why bother fighting it.

Health and safety is just another branch of the gestapo in my eyes.

So whilst I am being brought to shatter, watching us slowly stick our heads in the ground as those in top brass pour sand over our backs and down our throats,  because thats how you govern, I wonder if I’ll ever see that perfection of being that I know we are so nearly finding our way back on the path to, if we can just bear to bring our eyes to the surface once in a while and deal with whats going the fuck on.

Open your eyes. All three of them!
