The Plan: for the positive

For those who have stepped back and have begun to see the reality of this system, here is my humble "Plan" to continue:

Step one: Do Not Make Any Plans. Simply go to where ever it is you want to go. Don't worry if you don't know if you'll like it; thats rational and should not prevent you from having an adventure. Many people never realize the truth of who they are. They spend a lifetime toiling away, maintaining who they think they are. The most comforting thing is mortality, you don't have to worry about being wrong, just be a good person and follow the first dream that pops up.

Know Money: This stuff is like a rain jacket: When you have it you can go out in the rain whenever you want, when you don;t you can go out in the rain whenever you want. You need food and water and sleep and sex according to the primordial needs. Money is a means to these ends. With a wise lifestyle, the amount of money you'll need is easily maintained by seasonal work. Seasonal work is like a vacation where you do lots of chors, and get paid. Ask a river guide, camp consular, etc. If you got no car, you got more money than you'd know what to do with.

Know yourself: The only advice here is, don't fool yourself. You will not learn who you are at college; work; a foreign country. You will only learn who you can be under specific pressure, but you will not learn about who you are. You must go somewhere quiet and pure. For me, the deserts and mountains of the western US have help me begin the discovery of myself/the world (the same thing really)

Be humble: Don't think I'm not, that would be presumptuous and self righteous. I'm 'sharing' my experience of travel and adventure and one fact is that we are all the same before we "create ourselves". by the same, I mean when you are hungry, someone else is hungry too; when you are sad, someone else is sad too. The difference is the reason why. We're lucky, many are not and it is only those like us who can make this world a better place, and we can't do it by over indulging. They lifestyle you live is the only way you can effect the world, voting, buying "green", no impact. Lifestyle.

To suffer is to know the depths of love. The balance is welcoming both suffering and love into your heart. Whit balance you will have all you ever need. When you have all you need you must go on an adventure or you will go crazy and end up with more pointless material than you can imagine.

Peace, Peace, Peace: Live for this, its simple. We live for war, or, we work for it. Peace is achievable only if you believe it is, and then set out to speak it, walk it, live it.

One suffers, many flourish.
