Talented, successful, very rich. Well, rich with money anyway.
Somehow, also, very poor.
How can this be?
We can wax eloquently about inner demons.
About abusive parents.
About our horrible society.
Kevin D Williamson wrote an article about “The Big White
Ghetto.”
Appalachia, stretching from northern Mississippi to southern
New York.
Laid to waste by a crumbling economy.
Perhaps it makes some sense that people here are addicted to
Oxycontin, heroin, and methamphetamine.
Perhaps.
So why do rich successful people become addicts?
Same reasons as everyone else.
They are unhappy.
And they often die way too early.
With heroin, they don’t really mean to die, not just then,
with a needle in their arm.
They just want to “get the nod on.”
To feel embraced by the false love and beauty they get while
dancing in the arms of Morpheus.
They die because they don’t really know what they are
injecting.
That is one argument for legalization of drugs. Regulation is knowledge.
I am more interested in how we may live so fully in the here
and now that we have no need for these drugs.
How can we grow as these beings embodying Source, pushing at
the edges of our being ever more present for ourselves and each other, as if
there is really any “other.“
So that is why this blog exists.
I am tossing out these words into the Universe.
To help you find your own Path.
To find a way to live fully in the present.
Yet, to be an adult and plan for your future self.
Remember, no matter what your external circumstances.
You can create your own beautiful embodiment of Source.
Go do it!
Right now…
Goodbye Philip Seymour Hoffman, may your memory be for a
blessing.
