Don't Bother 'Being Good'

-

We see it all the time
A fallen Catholic priest, 
An addict who couldn't resist his drug,
A dieter who gains all that weight back...

There is a reason for this
And it is important to understand.

Good and bad are polarities
The nature of polarity is it swings.
You can only "be good" so long 
Then all that "bad" blows up.

But, if you find some aspect 
Of your life, or something you do
To be disagreeable and you want it to end
You have to love yourself
Love yourself enough to let it go.

Love yourself enough to avoid
Eating your way into diabetes
Gambling your way into debt
Drinking your way into disaster
Raping, murdering, pillaging...
Ending up in jail. 

Self Love works
'Being good' doesn't.

The Map of Middle Earth is a Brain

  The map of middle earth is very obviously related to brain anatomy; and the functions of various areas of the brain are symbolized in Tolkien's descriptions of these areas, their culture and history.  The three chief markers of this are the three elven settlements that come into the story: Rivendell, Lorien, and the Grey Havens.  The Shire, the river Greyflood, and Fangorn Forest also can be fairly easily located by function and position on an anatomic cross section of the brain. This is important to the understanding of Tolkien's masterpiece, and, in part, it is meant to act as a guide to spiritual evolution. In brain anatomy the structure which roughly corresponds to both The Greyflood and Rivendell, is the Sylvian Notch, or fissure. This area of the brain was first defined by Franciscus de la Boe Sylvius, in 1641 . It is now usually referred to as the lateral sulcus or lateral fissure, and it is one of the most prominent structures of the human brain, dividing

When the Thrill of Life Goes Stale

It is my understanding That our advent in this The physical realm Were undertaken in the spirit of Adventure. We wanted to experience  What it was like To be within the physical. To smell a sweet flower. To drink cold, pure water From a spring. To feel a gentle breeze Ruffle your hair, your clothes. Without a physical body Our hands simply pass through Without the sensation of touch. And so we are in every life Enchanted with the opportunities That come with once more Having a body. But we have lived thousands  Of lifetimes here. There comes a point now When we run out of things to do. Things that are new and inspiring. Many... most, will try to double down On things that have given joy In the past. Food and sex. Remember the Romans? Ever searching for greater thrills Vomitoriums, cannibalism,  Voyeurism, Incest... you know. But there is another way. When the world runs out of thrills It is time to turn inward. It
