Going Through the Ringer

Faithful101

Pearl Jam has carried me through the darkest valleys and up the steepest most vertigo inducing trials of my life to where I am today. It's really humbling to know how much these people care about us fans, humanity and our planet in general. I guess I'm on here looking to discuss the task of tackling situations in life which seem to chronically limit my own progress and stability/awareness of what the fuck is going on now, and the horrific shit I've grown and evolved out of. Inspiration from other fans and a sense of unity would go a long way for me right now. Things have been so up and down for nearly 10 years now, and suddenly I find myself here with all these expectations and I just can't fuck up. I have all this boiling energy and emotion to express in my songwriting efforts, but truly want to invoke a sense of contentment and ease within the hearts, minds and souls of those running/ruining the world. These people were ritually abused and conditioned to be as they are, however, the Group Think dynamic of these clandestine groups must be stood up, faced and put into balance. It's unacceptable.

I fear my angry and hostile tones, vocal inflection and words will ignite resistance and division with these clandestine groups and simply extend the energies and behaviours that need to be stopped. We expect better governance, human rights standards, living conditions and such. Humanity should be living in a dignified state, not subjected to policies based off of Nazism Eugenics which simply spreads destruction, decay and misery for all beings on earth. All this egotism, claims of status and entitlement simply erodes humanity and all of us individually.

I guess I could simply use some advice and insight from others. What am I not realizing? What should I perceive that I am currently not? What do you think needs to be communicated to invoke and inspire solutions and actual change/progress? Any thoughts you have are appreciated.

Thanks for listening.

If you classifying God and his high servants as this type of class (not subjected to policies based off of Nazism Eugenics which simply spreads destruction, decay and misery for all beings on earth) than i have to disagree with you.. anybody who defies God and his high servants as such is subjected as opposer and does have to face consequences bc he is rebelling against the creator and ruler excluding governments and politicians...
I do agree with your peace aspect of things but in reality man dont rule man or redeem man so we dont do it our way but the lawful way which is to subject to superiors.....!!!
im not talking governments either bc man cannot rule man nor should man question God and his wishes just like children dont talk back to parents...

Fascinating post, OP. I guess I think life itself should be respected - living with dignity.

Dying with it too.

Earlier today I read something about how stars are formed - how nebulae must collapse for it to happen - and that it's not death or the end, but birth.

Kind of like Shiva.

It seems you have realized much and still are. Embrace it all, both the pain and pleasure, as it's more than most care to do.

Well that's what we are made of, right? The stuff that shoots out of exploding stars? People and the earth and all it has and holds are made up of elements emitted from exploding stars.

Isn't that fascinating?

But then again, when you think about it....if we weren't made up from stars, then where exactly would our make-up come from? So maybe not so fascinating, hain't? (but still).

So when your mind itself starts to explode,
remember to relax, kick back, smile, and not take life too seriously.
Afterall,

The oceans made me, but who came up with.......?

(beautiful timing, as I've got Van's Into the Mystic going here - magnificently)

Y'all made my head hurt.
In a good way.
Agree with Chadwick, "write it out"
