    Right now I am in a state of mind where I dont know what the fuck to do next. i suppose this is the closest Ive gotten to freedom in a while, but I digress. I had a conversation with my dad about some Constellation intensive workshop that hes into. To me it sounds like some new age airy fairy bullshit, but it rings some bells in my soul. One part is that You are connected to your ancestral line, and you carry all the crap that has been passed down to you through genetics or the soul or however. Of course, these workshops offer you a way to release yourself from that burden (only 150 dollars a weekend!), but despite the cash cow that modern spirituality has becoem I still feel something when I think about it. I mean, there are many recurring traits from generations, you are passing down genetics and whatnot. But on a soul level I think it might be possible that we carry the weight of our ancestors on our backs and one way we might be able to "save" the world is be coming to terms with it, resolving it and letting it go. Some of the problems I see with the world today (myself included) are that we look at quote "bad" things and people in the wrong light. The problem isnt the fucked up things that are going on in the world. Example: Adolf Hitler. It isnt necessarily that fact that he killed millions of people (tragic though it is), I think its more WHY he created an army to take over the world and destroy a certain "race" of people. Whatever pain or heartache could possess a man to do such things, THAT is what needs to be addressed, because honestly I feel that each and every one of us has the potential to lash out in big ways because of this soulache and loneliness that seems all to common in the world these days. And you would think that after so many centuries of pointless war and aggression over the same feelings that EVERYONE shares we would finally try a different approach. But I think that another problem is not the fucked up people and the fucked up things that go on but the loving and kind people who see these things and do NOTHING.
    I find this to be a constant war in my life. I feel like I could go in whichever direction I so chose, I could attack the system from the inside or out, I could live with it for the sake of love and forgiveness, or I could help burn it to the ground. Whichever is necessary I suppose is what will happen, but the question remains, do I have a choice? Do any of us? Will the tides of life sweep us into a new form of love or oblivion? Could we or should we even change it?
    These are all the "greater" things on my mind, let alone the simple life stuff. It gets interesting sometimes, let me tell you. To be perfectly honest I feel that in past lives and dementions or whatever you wanna call them my soul has been on both sides of the fence. So called good and bad. I feel like Ive done too much pirating and looting and warring and hating whether my intentions were good or not. I feel like its time for a shot, atleast a try, at something new. I, we, have nothing to lose and everything to gain at this point.
