    I read your sign thing...the 'spiritual beings having a human experience'...i might just be crazy enough to take an interest in you...
    have you read alice bailey?...her site is where i got the above quote from. how old are ya?? what is your drinking style? do you see sex as a thrill..but a lower case form of love...?

    well i want to thank you for your last reply but my post says alot about me and for me to be talking to someone it would be nice if they let me know more about them.
    i read some of your forums and i see you are a searcher and have read some good books. As for me i am a person who is quite happy living on the road with my dogs and being alone in my personal life. I would be nice to find someone who would be awesome to travel with and would be interesting and intrigueing but so far that has not happened i have mostly met confused people who are not sure what they want.
    I am not looking for sex or a relationship just a friendship i just do not have the patience for all the responcibilty of maintaining relationships of that kind. I feel i am offering so much to the right person that i would like people to surprise me and make me want to know more about them. You have peaked my interest but i would want to know more about you. as for your questions i do not know alice baily the phrase came to me from wayne dyer who i listen to . as for sex i know i am wierd but i just have not found sex as enjoyable as good company in a long time i find it always comes with to much drama. but i will agree it is a lower case love. sex lasts only so long and if there is no love then the marrage or relationship does not work. As for my drinking style i drink seldomly and i do it away from people i am not a bar person or partier. as for my age my post would give you a decent idea of it. well that is it

    lol. thanks .and haha. I cant lie i look for instant gratification sometimes..i just wanted to check how you thought about that. --> how far you are in looking at things. I am sexual but unforutunatelty however amazing it is...it's always had a twinge of selling short and also that. selling.
    well. I've never met anyone who doesn't seem confused about things...it's only masters that choose the same thing over and over again and that takes years of deliberation. I'm 18. how confused is that age? I'd guess quite alot. but then if i don't jump into the confusion i wont be able to find a way out...i'll just be hiding behind it.
    I have met a couple of masters..they're still confused though...This man called Al. is too respectable to be made into words..but I say to him 'I keep thinking where am i?' and he looks at me with the biggest shrug and says... 'I don't know'
    So i've figured lately the best option is to just keep asking why....then at least i'll know what my intentions are.
    WHY am i speaking to you? I love to walk endlessly, and I am feeling hemmed in enough to do something drastic... I need a teacher of the living, someone who at least understands something about physical perservearnce and balance. someone who's pushed out into a space that felt like a fall. but gladly said goodbye to the past when it happened..and never looks back.
    about me!. I play the violin. I like homeless people. i despise drunks.
    I'm tracing my family tree..they're turning out to be polish aristocracy so thats what i talk about..I talk/learn about astronomy. i write poems. i read everything. at some age..i want to do a three year silent retreat with some monks. my experience of hitching gave me a better view of people. most people are scared of each other.
    i am prone to sudden periods of bullshit monitering. when that happens I'm trying to develop more individuated power. if you understand that..we're away.. becasue you'll know power is meant to grow.
    I'm really after power. thats the type that asserts the best way to look after my rights. thats the 'sort' of person i am. also you'll know power has issues that need to be worked through to find out what it actually is...
    i think a long life prepares.
    these are my essential strange habits...absoloutelty a part of the mix. i need to walk in cirlces alot. i need to spin around alot and shake for no 'apparant' reason.
    if thats all normal to you. then we have a basic understanding!.

    well high again i was not really expecting to hear back from you so again i am surprised and maybe need to expect to be surprised more huh.
    I am no master if i was i would be sitting on a mountian in tibet instead of traveling the country cuddling with my doggies. I have a good mind i have been told and i have been studying the human condition for most of my life on the road. I see nothing worng with casual sex for enjoyment as long as you are both happy or to even broaden that i think anyone can do anything they want with anyone as long as they do not hurt anyone. For me the whole sexual thing is not important to me that does not mean i do not have the feeling just that i know giving into them will ussually cause me more agravation then it is worth for some pysicall pleasure. I do not know if that is a curse or a blessing.
    I have a post somwehre else here that kind of explains how i vent my needs in a safe easy way. As for searching we all are even the ones who never get anywhere are still searching they just put very little effort into it.
    I find most i meet are so obsessed with having a mate thinking it is all they ever will need to be happy that they do not look for much else. I was that way once but i was alot of things growing up but i was lucky to find a mentor and to me at a young age i thought he was a master too. He did help me alot and totally changed my life i met him on the road and we traveled together for awhile and i have stayed in touch with him through the years.
    The one danger of thinking somone is a master is they can bring you down and influence you in very bad ways if you give them to much power over you.
    I did that at one point but he did not abuse it to much then but as he got older andd more bitter in life i was lucky enough to find my own self and sadly had to stay away from him alot because he became a sad and angry person.
    He was one of the most intense and spiritually motivated people and it scared me to see him take all his teaching and bend them to fit his sadness and anger. Being spiritually aware removes that ignorrance is bliss from your life forever and it can be dangerous for one you learn about life if you fall your knowings can build you a even deeper hole to try to climb out of. I have had my bouts with it myself but luckily i survived them and sadly watching my mentor fall apart showed me what could happen to me if i strayed to far.
    you mention jumping into confusion i have done that all my life not quite how you may but even now i am traveling from town to town looking for shops who will buy from me needing to find a nice motel that will not mind 3 small lassie dogs that like to roam free and be able to afford living each week.
    the last few months i have been in oklahoma so this is all new country for me and i had to go in with no advance knowing ifd i would do good or not yet as always i did great and i met many new shops who call me friend and other things for me taking all thier money when they saw all that i carried in jewelry.
    My mentor had a very hands-on way of teaching and helping it was good for me and that is what i was looking for but it was very hardcore and not for many he was very tough with me because that was what i was looking for he had to break my ego and my cockiness and he did it in ways most people would of run from. but for me it was what i needed and i love him for it.
    Me i am not a teacher as he alwasy said we are all teachers and we teach what we most need to learn. I can help you open doors in your mind how you enter is up to you. people who have traveled with me to learn from me and the lifestyle i live find that i let people live there won lives make there own mistakes. Wehnasked a question about anything i answer it as truthfully as i know how none of what i say has my wants or needs involved because i find so many people will give you advice according to what they want from you not what you want from life. I always give both sides of the coin as in there are many ways to make a decision i try to give you the ones i know. I have always tried to help people learn how to work out there won decisions and try to help them learn how to. That was the biggest thing for me to change my life. I am a true friend to those who i respect and care about and being a true friend is not easy for a true friend will let you get burned when they know it will happen because all we can do is warn you.
    A true friend will be there to pick you up not to say i told you so and let them know how they should of or could of avoided it. True friends share there mind no secrets no lies for true friends do not judge there friends actions or lifestyle according to theirs. Now i have few true friends because i have to like and respect someone alot to pu them in that catagory.
    I try to be of help to those who need it but few are willing to help themeselves so i am not willing to help those who do not put some effort into it too. People who travel with me have alot of rewards for making effort and caring about themeselves. the big things is learning a business they can take with them and meeting all kinds of people all over. i have a life and i am not looking for someone to be around all the time and wait for me to entertain them so this is for people who like to go out and meet people and do things i have no chains on my dogs or my friends i have few expectations from people. I do have rules about my personal space and how i like to live.
    for example i expect a person with me to help me pack and unpack as we get to a new town 2) i keep a clean room and expect anyone with me to not make my work harder and to do there share of keeping things neat. 3) i expect help putting jewelry away when i get it in which is good for the person with me anyways for they learn about the business and get to see all the fun new jewelry. No someone with me has total freedom to be who they want to be and go where they want but as for my personal space as in van and room i do not just let anyone into my personal space and would expect a person to entertain there friends and lovers somewhere else. i think the last one would be is to never make me wait for you when i am leaving a town because you are with friends a person with me has lots of time to go and do what they want but the day i am leaving they need to be ready to leave unless they have plans to stay and come back later or whatever.
    if i invite someone out here i take there well being very seriously and other then the decsions you make outside of my space a person has no worries here. If they decide they want to leave i will send them where they want.
    I pay room and food and general stuff but as a person with me makes there won money they can do with that what they want. So why do i offer this Man there must be strings attached huh. Well there is one i have to like your company make me laugh be good to hang out with and to do things with.
    that is about it. well i normally would not answer a letter like yours online but hey you wrote it online i might as well answer it here too.

    jeff how are you?
    oklahoma eh? been meaning to check that out. Im in my down time right now with the highway child as Im building a new bus, I did however buy a 8 ton straight truck wwhich I have been making fabulous money, pretty much truckin into pennsilvania new york virginia, did michigan , illinois and wisonsin last week put 3500 km under my tires in a week, and made about 2600 dollars which was not as good as I expected but was able to come out of it with 1700 profit after expenses. ....
    my wife is well ,hahah actually she's in labour in the kitchen as I am writting this...7 centemeters dialated. mid wife and family all around.

    ........Im back on the highway tuesday.
    Life is well man, and Im hoping the universe is blessing you the same.
    I did want to mention something about what I just read, You said you have trouble feeling compassion for those who dont want to be helped. I ran into a situtation with a guy on our bus, he never made is daily three pieces, he tended to disappeer when it came down to do any work for any work trades we did, finally I had to ask him to leave, he inturn offered me money in exchange for hi lack of product and that he we would start fresh from there on. he never did change we left him in california and even though we all had love for him we couldnt carry someone who didnt carry there own...he was damaging for everybody and he took and did not give back, a month later he knocked on the bus at 4 am without shoes in the rain and cold this was up near eureka at that time the bus was full ,,,even over full but everyone did there part, he begged me to let him join again.....
    I refused

    For weeks I thought over this decision and felt bad , though I knew I did the right thing and my karma was good, I gave him every opportunity to do well, I tought him a craft I fed and clothed him, but when it came down to it he just couldnt do it for himself, if I did let him on the bus again that night I would of done him more harm than good, I would of just let him take without learning......

    its hard when those situations arise you want to help but sometimes you just have to refuse even though it hurts to do so.

    k my wife is moaning away..I better go

    blessings

    Hey blinkin

    well first for Dragon i do not know if you where talking to blinkin or me for traveling but as for me i am not planning on new york anytime soon and you are under 18 as of now which i do not even consider taking on the road for obvious reasons. Ok now that i am done with that let me say the more i know people the more i thank god i live with doggies. Well since this summer i have taken one person out of all my responces and thought he could work out but of course i was wrong he was to used to having others support him and did not really enjoy much but sleeping. He at least had his own ride so he was no problem for me. I also took my oldest friend out who i have known since the beginning of my road adventure so many years ago he drove me to the brink of insanity the last thing he did was spill water on my new sony laptop and voided the warranty,oh well there is 1100.00 down the toilet huh. I find the one great thing about bringigng people with me is that when i finally send them away and am alone i am so greatful for my lonliness.
    I will probally keep posting about a travel companion i feel what the hell maybe one day a sane person who trully knows themselves and wants what i offer will answer one day and till then i will bring people who will remind me being alone aint so bad. I am in springfield mo now and will be in arkansas next week. doing mostly central and western arkansas before heading to texas. I am glad all is well with you and you are lucky you can go from gypsy to working man so easy and have a job that makes you a good living.
    Well that is about it for now anyone responding to this should really read the first post and see what this whole post is about and not just respond to the last post. well to everyone have a happy.
    JEFF

    Hey roadgypsy,
    I truely do know what you are describing and I am currently yearning to get back on the road. I had preveously lived this way for a short while. Traveling from WI to TX to Santa Cruz, CA. I loved it. It was hard because my roadie was an alcoholic and did seem to be living for the high. So I had to split form him and although I loved living on my own for the moment I did return home simply because I wasn't prepared for the lonliness that you do encounter on your own. I am still young, but have matured in my ways. The best thing on the road for me is meeting different people and hearing thier stories. And creating family from strangers. If you are still seeking an individual to travel with you, I would be willing to see if this is something we can experience together and become close friends. Please respond to a possible road partner.

    hey, roadgypsy lemme know the next time you swing by Tennessee. Im not completely though high school, yet, but i would love to meet you. After i get my diploma, i would like greatly to travle with you, perhaps not permaanently, but at least until i can find myself. i have alot of questions about life that cant simply be dismissed by any religion.

    perhaps i can meet you and we can arrange something where we could hook up further down the road of life.
