Feeling a little lost right now, I have been contemplating what direction I should take. On a happiness level I am not good, financially in the dumps and self worth rock bottom. If I could improve either of these independantly it would be a start, I’ve been reading about a Japanese concept known as ‘Ikigai,’ It’s all about finding your purpose in life, having a reason to leap out of bed in the mornings, finding the things that create joy in your life and banishing those that don’t simplifying your life in the most practicable way you can. It all sounds very familiar in the realms of the ‘Self Help’ category but one particular book on the subject has been given some very interesting reveiws from the bigger critics.

THE JAPANESE SECRET TO A LONG AND HAPPY LIFE

Take a grip my friend, realise the potential and possibilities that still need your attention. I am who I am, I am the force that governs me, don’t be distracted by false entities, I can do this. A step out, that’s what I have taken, hopefully towards a more accomplished well being. Time will tell as it always does.

There’s something unspoken of like the biting and cuts of the key to happiness and the assumption of a life of wonder. ‘Wonder,’ a somewhat homonymous word that confuses the idea of happiness as being wonderful, is it the perception of beauty in your life or the concentration of thought, thought that does not have to include beauty, more so thoughts could even be vengeful, disastrous or even evil. As at this time I am wondering why I feel the way I do, like when someone that matters to you cuts you off, flicks you like a light switch to extinguish everything that lit up your life together and plunges you into darkness. Wondering where the wonder went and unable feel the walls for being enveloped in such blackness let alone raise the dimmer at least for a glimpse. In time I may find my own torch from which the hue may have changed and the room could look very different from how it was originally perceived. Still I wonder.

I close my eyes and I clearly see a direction. But it is a never ending corridor of locked rooms, barely lit and stale. However there appears to be a purpose, a functional ending to the mundanity, obscure but present in the darkened realms of the unseeable. One day, maybe one of those doors will open and prevent my drift into the darkness beyond.

Anti matter may be the equal or opposite to consciousness. Existence is a complex structure of frequencies, waves that travel towards a source that consciousness can decipher into matter, those things we all perceive day to day. The matter we all call the universe exists because of the union of resonance and harmony, vibrations that which consciousness receives are tuned into a frequency of perception. We are a product of the inevitability of the cosmos, transient, fleeting, but all part of that waveform. Whatever message it may be attempting to carry, our lifetimes are imprinted on it in their entirety, that program of the universe.

Quietly assuming we all have a purpose in life as all these pathetic memes on social media profess, what is it? We inhabit a microscopic timeframe in the evolution of the universe, we are just a by-product of how things once were not how they should be. The future of the planet at this time has nothing to do with you, as a collective we have more of an influence, global warming for instance that has been shoved down our throats for decades so far, that appears to be our doing, but in terms of historic global fluctuations in temperature? Miniscule, and yet with all that, the Earth and life still exists. Our purpose as nature intended is pure and simple, procreate, pass on those genes that have led you to this point without dying off, survival of the fittest. Once all those who profess the purposes of life on social media dissipate into the realms of genetic inadequacy, then the real reason for the evolution of the human species can be equated.

Ok I just went into Geek Mode to find some kind of answer:
Going by the average weight of children 1-18 years old plus the average weight of adults (UK) the weight of the global population is 48,480×10^9 Kg*. Assuming they all jump 50cm high, the force required to overcome gravity and jump to that height combined with an equal force to bring back down would equal 23.27×10^13 Joules, a lot of energy. Now compare that to a relatively small thermo-nuclear device such as Fat Boy that blew up Hiroshima in August 1945 which was 1.8×10^13 Joules. Everyone jumping would exert 13 times the power of that bomb. But compared to the Russian Tsar Bomba weighing in with a mahoosive 50 megaton yield, the energy created by that blast was 20,000×10^13 Joules nearly 900 times the energy of the people jumping up and down. Although the destruction from the Tsar Bomba was phenomenal, the energy was released in a room sized space as apposed to spread around the globe. So I think the Earth would cope just fine.
*This is assuming everyone can jump that height which they cant for various reasons so this figure is way over the top.

Right I am out of my mind right now with continuous narrative coming out of my head. I feel I should sit and repeat it online, for no other reason than to keep me focussed on something pointless like most of us are forced to. Ignoring the big issues not something I adore to…’ight. I feel threatened by reality and when I speak to people who have some sort of personality and they disagree is bothers me. Big time, we are sitting ducks, Forget the old times when people bunch together to fight of the crimes, Our sedentary is going to be the destruction of our reality. Peace to the lovers. x

I have been thrusted out, by usual turmoil. A massive global war is breaking out., It’s happening guys!!!! I watch all the the dumb fucks I have had the opportunity to grow amongst just dither…. It was blatantly obvious how blinded we would be to annihilation because of the nonsense that has been infused into your souls. When that flash and radiated hatred peels your skin, maybe you might get it, but just for a moment before you burn unnecessarily you will now the truth,

It’s a beautiful November morning, a little warmer than it should be but hey everybody deserves a car and a holiday right? I am in contemplation mode, wondering what change I need to make to create a new path into the future, I never really had goals in life either long or short term, just living day to day and riding the tide of misfortune. Maybe that’s it, I should create a goal? Many of my interests have withered, my space has shrunk and many of my tools are in storage, it’s true to say I never did take any of the opportunities presented to me in the past to flourish and use what was at hand to my own advantage. Should I revitalise anything from the past or maybe learn something new maybe more physical? Should I move somewhere else? As long as I have a comfortable space at the end of the day, I have never been attached particularly to any of the buildings I have lived in, except my home from when I was child on the Isle of Wight, but that wasn’t just a building it was where my family lived, I felt safe and secure. Ultimately, I have no idea what goal to set, all I know is it cannot be too far into the future, at least not with Putin and all his willy waving of late.
