ASSUME THE POSITION BY LEVI & DAVID POWELL 2/26/11

TALK THE WALK. BORED OF THE BECK CHALK JUST USE A MIKE.
EVERYDAY WE ALL GOT SOMETHING TO SAY LIKE
STAND UP AND SHOUT TRUE THAT WHAT YOU BELIEVE
COUNT YOUR BLESSINGS AND TRY NOT TO SELF DECEIVE
LEAD, FOLLOW OR GET OUT OF THE WAY
TRUTH IS PRICELESS ACKNOWLEDGE EVERYDAY
OPEN OUR EYES. LOVE THOSE WE DESPISE
YOU DON’T HAVE TO BE OLD TO BE WISE

“The Prophet is a book of 26 poetic essays written in English in 1923 by the Lebanese artist, philosopher and writer Khalil Gibran. In the book, the prophet Almustafa, who has lived in the foreign city of Orphalese for 12 years, is about to board a ship which will carry him home. He is stopped by a group of people, with whom he discusses many issues of life and the human condition.”

To whomever (he or she left the alias ‘Human’ as their name) made the following inspirational comment on the post ‘Thought-Provoking Documentaries: Zeitgeist: Moving Forward’ please step forward or make it known who the owner is of these words of wisdom:

Thank you. Thank you for taking the time out of your daily schedule to consider the ideas in this film. So long as we a capable to refute or agree with these claims and allegations can we collectively take a step towards change. i commend each and every one of you for being inspired by this motivational piece of work. Investing your energy for or against will manifest inevitable change, which spell both chaos and peace. Plant a seed with love or hate and it will grow regardless. Plant an acre of seeds with love or hate and it will grow regardless.

All that encompasses the ‘nature’ of things is good at self-preservation. Your need to worry about such universalities has nothing to do with it. Your need to believe in something like this or that is futile and will ultimately lead to undoing everything you are for. Everything you are for empowers you. Everything you are against weakens you. You are a self-aware entity that has the capacity to transcend all that you are! You are capable of so much more! Why not start after taking your next breath and even more so for each sequential breath that you take for granted? You’ve got to be stupefied every time you consider the complexity of you inborn capacity to breathe. You don’t have enough time to worry about being upset at the people and things that have propagated this illusory experience you might call YOUR life. Nor do you have enough time to neatly change the universe to favor your self-created belief system. Remember that these are YOUR perceptions that YOU are responsible for because YOU choose to believe in the things YOUVE seen and heard. i may convince myself through logical analysis that the sky is blue, but the necessity for using a word like that to describe it to you denies everything that it could potentially be in your eyes.

Why is silence so frowned upon, either at work or at home? “What could be the matter?” they all ask, whereas all I wish is to be left alone to my own peaceful thoughts.

My mind when disturbed responds by saying, “There is nothing wrong.”

“All we want is not to participate in idle gossip or mindless chatter.”

“Space and silence is all we need at this particular time.”

Strangely, people are quite happy spreading mischievous rumours about an innocent soul, but they seem rather perturbed by one being silent in their presence.

Why do people suffer from “uncomfortable silences”?

Why should silences be uncomfortable?

Silence is blissful to me, and most comfortable.

Don’t they realise by me entering their world of superfluous communication I am neglecting what is most important to me – and that is self-introspection.

Self-introspection is what makes me feel at ease with being in my own company.  I neither feel alone nor have an empty void to fill by talking. Read more…
