Comment on Buying Things Doesn’t Make Me Happy by Matt

You know you’re not the only who feels that way, right? I’m currently trying to put together a new computer and it’s lead me to two conclusions: A new pc will only make me happy for a fleeting moment, and pricing one up is making me miserable. I could use the money to expand my horizons or do something that grows me as a person…and yet I can’t help but feel I’m missing out if I don’t build this new computer.
I feel like such a failure of a person for not just saying “No” to it, and getting on with my life.

When you have a great life to cherish, you would not mind a scratch on your new car. Instead of thinking about it, you would fix it right away to lessen stress and live with light and joyous moments each day.

It is said that all the people in your dreams are fragments or embodiments of your different aspects. In this life I find that neither you nor I are the dreamer, but that we are all the dream images of something greater than we can imagine.

I think the thing we have going for us is that whatever we are sleeping through wants us to wake up. Who’s to say what’s real or not real when there such a gradient between those two concepts. If we are journeying then it is our responsibilty to connect to one another and find ways to realize when it’s real and when it’s not. I once read a metaphor that he’ll is like everybody starving because nobody feeds one another. The peak of the mountain is afterall made of the same stuff as the bottom. They are different and the same, lol. How zen. If you want to wake up fully I kind of think that means doing it a little at
a time. Recognize when you are mulling in your own concerns and ruminations. Those ground you here. Emotional connection I think would serve more as a reinforcer people will make it up the mountain faster. If we all realize we are not alone we could wake up together or something. Meditation stillness attuneness of your sense I think some help reading the signs will help you see more clearly the fabric of the reality that seems so binding. Try being still and kind of staring off as if life were a hidden picture. While you do this clear your mind and demand to wake up. You kind of see things shift into what looks like a kind of puzzle. The boundaries between objects blurs…I know that sound weird but if you’re talking about waking from reality you have to be willing to get a little freaky thinking. Keep living a way that seems “wake up” driven basically be a good person and represent waking up through all your actions.
