Brooklyn: American Dream!

We seem destined to perpetuate misery in endless cycles of ridiculous mass behavior. Huh?

On the smaller scale, my parents spent their life working hard to make life better for us. I in turn am working hard to make life better for my kids. They in turn will work their asses off to make life better for their kids and so on and so on and so on Ad Nausea :) . What a mess. We all life miserably, because conceivably, our purpose is to make life better for the next generation and in the end NO ONE IS TRULY HAPPY and we perpetuate a myth that somehow those things we want our kids to attain will equal their happiness.  The American dream or ideal is just an idea. It doesn’t exist and it is unattainable because you cannot attain what is, only realize what you already have/are.

The same cycles apply to our countries, companies, and everything else in our existence. As we get caught up in our personal cycles and beliefs, we continue to perpetuate more cycles and that feed upon each other.

The great news though is that we can break all the cycles.  Simple attention to NOW through a variety of techniques makes it possible for anyone to experience cyclelessness. The question becomes whether we can create enough nothingness to actually overcome the inertia of our global and local cycles.

If everyday as you embark upon the necessary cycles that make up your life in order to live, observe the silly cycles. Think about what your company sells or does and how it came about that someone thought that they needed whatever it is and realize, that what you offer really wasn’t necessary at all. Carry it down to the next level and look at the job you do and the role you fulfill in your firm. When you examine and observe without judgement, its possible to begin triggering your mindfulness, by seeing what you thought was so important, really isn’t. Even the President of The United States could practice this and observe the insanity over which he presides. When you break down each task and responsibility into minute pieces, you begin to realize that each of us is looped into cycles of silliness.

My mission is to practice awareness and now enough to break the cycles for me an every connection I have to humans in my life. By meditating, observing, and dampering thought, it is more than possible to break our cycles.
