His current avatar is a photo of Tenzin Gyatso (the fourteenth Dalai Lama), indicatory of a likely interest in Tibetan Buddhism. Meditation plays a significant role in Tibetan Buddhist rituals, and as far as I know, two of the predominant objectives of meditation are to achieve enlightenment and tranquility.

I'm sure he meant, well...exactly what he said. Peace of mind materializes entirely within yourself, and nobody can haul you out of that cerebral utopia unless you allow them to do so.

The beauty of it is seeing it come together piece by peice until you have the completed vehicle.

Cemetary Drive

When I met my girlfriend. Once I met her, each of us knew that we were made for eachother, We've been going out for about five and a half weeks now and steadily moving forward, but our love has never been so strong.

(I know it sounds soon, but you all know when you just have that feeling, thats what I have...)

And learning to play my baby (guitar), and finally having the patients to learn how to slolem, and after two years and alot of concussions, I can finally master it.

It means, simply, that everyone is born with a still spirit and a peaceful soul. The experiences you have in your lifetime cannot affect the quiet, that calm, that is at everyone's core. Unless, of course, you choose to let it.

Say there is a person in your life that makes you angry, for whatever reason. That person isn't doing anything more than being who they are. How you recieve that person dictates how peaceful you remain inside. If you let yourself become upset because that person is a jackass, then not only is that person living their life, they are affecting how you live yours.

They are getting inside you, down towards your peaceful core. And, the only way they can do that, like I said, is if you let them. You control how you feel, not anyone else. When I realized that, my life became still, and quiet, and peaceful. I lived a lot of years angry, because I let people dictate my feelings, simply by reacting to their inane behavior.

A peaceful spirit is something everyone has. The key to being in touch with it is not to look outward for peace, but inward. A mistake I made was, trying to take in peace, when in fact, I should have been pushing out unrest that was inside me. I wasn't empty, I was too full. Doing it backwards. I was trying to add peace, when the peace was there already, hidden under the anger and turmoil. Rather than add, I bagan subtracting things, shovelling out the bad, to get to the good.


That's not a fact, that's just my belief. It works for me. And don't get me wrong...I am no where near where I need to be, spiritually. I have taken, like, three steps on a thousand mile walk. But at least now, I know, I am walking in the right direction.
