I Realize I Am A Ghost

In watching the Democrat Convention it dawned on me how much like a High school social scene politics is. It is all a striving by the high achievers in the immediate materiel world. How shallow the dialog and striving for position is, it is as transitory as the changing of the time of day. They really think they are doing something.

When I was 20 I realized that there was deeper longer lasting meaning to be had. When I moved in that direction to pursue that meaning I had become transcendent..even though I didn't realize it, I have been it all along. I had turned inward and became a spiritual being. I am a spirit that is moving through time and space, and on that plane of existence their are forces of nature at play. Forces that effect events in the material world but are not readily apparent in the material world. One could say it is a shadow world as it is a unquanitiable reality in the material world. One that you can not see nor touch but never the less exists. Such as the quality of feeling love.

So I leave no footprint on this earth where no one will even know that I was here nor existed. But I have the quality of being a disembodied spirit that is moving through time and space. It is the passing through the eye of the needle to the promised land beyond.

You should try writing for a living.
I wouldn’t buy or read it but I’m sure this transcendental self-absorbed BS appeals to
enough people to make a decent buck.

Even this old dullard has pondered time. Cruising the Southern Turkish coast with Stan, we took a Dory trip up the Dalyan (sp?) river to visit an archeological dig, viewing massive tombs carved from a rock hillside thousands of years ago. At the dig itself, it was explained to us that 3 civilizations were being dug,,,the top layer was Roman.

Here in the USA we tend to think only of the here and now. Others think differently. Like: "Things were tough when Alexander the Great took over, but improved under Roman rule." Istanbul was a trading port before man could write...the waters of the Bosphorus have seen most of the history of man.

Tabs made a point...political conventions are like High School politics. In the history of man, the USA experiment has taken the time of a knat's fart. Then when pondering all time, the history of man is but the life of a fruit fly.

Ahhh, but all we have is one trip...reality.

I don't think this a goodbye post...or at least I hope it is not.
Sir Tabdulla One still has much to teach to the uneducated of the world.
Almost every prediction has since arrived at fruition.
He is truly a great man.

(A curious thing about "using only 10% of the brain"....it is probably optimistic.)

Everybody has that spirituality if one would only look and ponder. The material world is a distraction a chimera..

Way too deep for me. I’m stuck trying to muddle through this dimension.
But hey, if it makes you more complete than I say go for it.
