“Anarchic Breakfast” is an excerpt from my book, Happy Hour Hallelujah. Copies of which are available here through CTU Publishing.

I’ve been having fun on my new Instagram account the past several days. I invite everyone to follow me here so we can connect. Cheers!

I have feasted. I have fasted. I have loved. I have lost. I have done good deeds upon the earth. I have wasted away in decadence and apathy. I have sought harmony and balance. I have raged with the thirst for war. I have both prayed to and cursed God at different points throughout the years. I have stood tall when all seemed hopeless. I have fallen to the floor over the most foolish events. I have kept my word. I have left promises unfulfilled. I have tamed my ego. I have let vanity run amok.

 

 

I’ve finally decided to start up an Instagram account. Diving into new waters. Come swim with me here. We’ll splash around and stir up some waves:

The early months of 2018 served an important role in humbling me. I say that not with any sense of sorrow or regret as I reflect today, but from a state of thankfulness and appreciation. I once prayed that the fire of my karma would set itself upon me. And it did so, both in ways I had fairly predicted and in others that were unforeseen/unimaginable. In order to heal, I was forced to dig deep and realign my focus with the pure intentions that help me to best walk with purpose. I had to discover anew the breath of simplicity that allows for inner peace even when circumstances are chaotic and complicated in the world at large.

This popped up today in my Facebook memories from three years ago on April 30, 2015. I stand by it for the most part. Why not?

The power of freewill is the greatest force in all of creation. It is the primal energy from which pure consciousness takes directive. A mind that is sovereign and self-aware cannot be led astray, nor tempted by the low energy of this fallen culture.

This is why the institutions of this world seek to smash freewill by placing each person under a spell which leads them to believe that they need whatever type of snake oil any particular institution happens to be selling.

The churches sell God from the pulpit.

The governments sell utopia through socialist programs.

The schools sell the idea of education through their rote, paint-by-numbers, color inside the box, standardized test, single file line, hierarchical system.

The medical industrial death machine sells its wares through allopathic, symptom suppressing medications that never address the root cause of disease.

The military industrial complex sells the idea of freedom and protection through bombs, missiles, empire expansion, war, death, homeland security, and every other ungodly terror that the bureaucrats and politicians happen to dream up from their lofty towers.

The news media sells fear and apathy through its propaganda laced, teleprompter read, corporate messages.

It’s no wonder there is a fog of confusion hanging heavy in the numbed minds of most of the zombie populations of this world. But ignorance is no excuse, apathy is not a solid game plan, and being a sucker is not a wise life path. Thankfully, the solution is simple: Crane the neck, bow the back, and get on with the show.

There is no experience that arises in a person’s life that they are not inherently capable of working through and growing from. That is the way the universe works. It’s called Karma. Life is a constantly evolving system that cannot progress when static is disrupting the program. Apathy leads to entropy. Thus chaos is naturally created to break down a particular set of circumstances so that a higher state of order can emerge.

Those who adapt, survive. Those who don’t, perish.
