Poetry: My Definition Of Life (Cosmic Earth Poem)

My Definition Of Life (Cosmic Earth Poem)

Every time I walk through the forest I feel that is where i belong.

I feel a soothing calmness. The sounds of nature is music to my ears,

the lush vegetation and the tall trees surrounding me as the cool breeze ruffles through the leaves

I am at peace. forever rooted and connected to nature interwoven into the fabric of my being,

as the sun peaks through the branches gently kissing my skin as i inhale the sweet aroma of the earth.

frolicking in the beauty and the enjoying the splendors that is life.

As my bare feet grounds upon the rich earth below, entrenching my roots further into the earth.

I am home,  as I am mentally stimulated by all of the vibrancy around me, the colors are candy for my mind’s eye.

I become one with my surroundings.

One with the universe.

Molecules scattered through time as time stand stills, living in the moment.

My mind opened to the wonders around me.

Hypnotized by the beauty that enchants me.

Connected to the earths core, branching out to the universe,

my soul interconnected with the stars,

dancing on the moon that glows upon my skin at night.

This my brothers and sisters is my definition of life..

Video: Joe Rogan on the Society Trap: Do What You love. Stop Being Part Of The Machine.

Video: Joe Rogan: Do what you love. Stop being part of the machine.

“We got sidetracked and diverted into these boxes, these cubicles in offices,” he says. “So instead of investing your time in a passion, you’ve sold your life to work for an uncaring machine that doesn’t understand you. That’s the problem with our society. And what’s the reward? Go home and get a big TV.”

Everything said in this video by Joe Rogan, is something I, and I would assume most people are conveying. Just like Alan watts would say, do what you love and forget the money. But we are a cog in this machine. We end up doing things we hate, walking around with signs on our backs in 90 degree weather, handing out papers and I ask is this is your purpose on this world.

Many will say well get yourself a proper education and you can do what you love. But that’s a load of bs. Many people go into school thinking they know what they want and end up stuck in doing something they dread. Maybe what they thought they wanted to do was just something sold to them by their parents and friends. But doing something we love should come naturally.

Money should not be the reason we go out and do something. We are living in this world just to exist, just to live in artificial mediocrity. Many would say we can’t all do what we love. We continue to have this pessimistic view and we just continue to narrow our horizons to see past everything. We just accept everything for how they are because we have become numb to it all.

I think we can all do what we love. But it starts with changing our perception of things. How we view the world.

Feel free to leave comments below. What do work and society mean to you? Do you agree with Rogan’s and my own assessment. Let me know your thoughts.

Alan Watts: What If Money Were No Object? (Video And Illustration)

What if money were no object?

I always fathom this question because it seems like our sole purpose in this life has become to amass as much money as we can, die and let it repeat with the next generations to go through with this same cycle.

We go on living in this rat race, doing things we hate just for money. Do we ever stop and ask why. Well mostly everyone will say to survive as this world has become survival of the fittest as we endlessly compete with one another and go through this regurgitated cycle.

All our lives we chase happiness only to find misery. Alan Watts said it best, what if money were no object? What would you be doing?  Would you go on doing things you hate,  just to go on living a miserable existence, letting stress  eat at your health or would you do something you are passionate about.

Alan Watts (1915-1973) who held both a master’s degree in theology and a doctorate of divinity, is best known as an interpreter of Zen Buddhism in particular, and Indian and Chinese philosophy in general. He authored more than 20 excellent books on the philosophy and psychology of religion, and lectured extensively, leaving behind a vast audio archive. With characteristic lucidity and humor Watts unravels the most obscure ontological and epistemological knots with the greatest of ease

Here is an illustration of Alan Watts and below that the video of his philosophy. Illustration taken from http://zenpencils.com/comic/98-alan-watts-what-if-money-was-no-object/
