Truth

Truth is a dangerous thing. Keep it to yourself. Don't share it. Don't die for it. Don't kill for it.

How to overcome megalomania

Sunrise

And the new day breakin' through
The morning
Of another day without you
And as the hours roll by
No one's there to see me cry
Except the sunrise
The sunrise and you

Tired eyes drift across the shore
Looking for love and nothing more
But as the sea rolls by
No one's there to see me cry
Except the sunrise
The sunrise and you

Sunrise
Bless my eyes
Catch my soul
Make me whole again

Sunrise, new day
Hear my song
I'm tired of fightin'
And foolin' around
But from now on
Till who knows when
My sword will be my pen
And I'll love you, love you
For all of my time

--Uriah Heep

Forever Young 2

Lullaby

Jabber

I enjoy going to places.
There are many nice people,
lots of lovely trees,
pretty flowers to see;
they love to welcome you.
Often people would argue
about certain things,
hurl insults at each other,
and sometimes mud as well,
oblivious of you or me,
laughing out loud
as soon as they leave.
They have to be told
just to forget about it.
I don't like listening
to people talk like this;
it's as boring or as painful
as listening to two people
complain about this or that.
You don't hear yourself
if you listen too much.
Honestly I don't let people
tell me what to think.
Yet there's a lot to learn
from conversations like these.
Perhaps I'll write a poem
just to prove to myself
I could write one anytime
if I really wanted to.
That would be fine
and fun as well, sort of.
Now I'll go on vacation
enjoy myself somewhere
and live my dreams too.
After all it isn't everyday
that you have them.
Well, I'll see you...

Eat more often.

But eat less.

All about loving you

Looking at the pages of my life
Faded memories of me and you
Mistakes you know I've made a few
I took some shots and fell from time to time
Baby, you were there to pull me through
We've been around the block a time or two
I'm gonna lay it on the line
Ask me how we've come this far
The answer's written in my eyes

Every time I look at you, baby, I see something new
That takes me higher than before and makes me want you more
I don't wanna sleep tonight, dreamin's just a waste of time
When I look at what my life's been comin' to
I'm all about lovin' youI've lived,
I've loved, I've lost, I've paid some dues, baby
We've been to hell and back again
Through it all you're always my best friend
For all the words I didn't say and all the things I didn't do
Tonight I'm gonna find a way

Every time I look at you, baby, I see something new
That takes me higher than before and makes me want you more
I don't wanna sleep tonight, dreamin's just a waste of time
When I look at what my life's been comin' to
I'm all about lovin' youYou can take this world away
You're everything I am
Just read the lines upon my faceI'm all about lovin' you

Every time I look at you, baby, I see something new
That takes me higher than before and makes me want you more
I don't wanna sleep tonight, dreamin's just a waste of time
When I look at what my life's been comin' to
I'm all about lovin' you
All about lovin' you

Judge

"Judge not that ye be not judged."
-- Jesus of Nazareth

"Judge and be prepared to be judged."
-- Ayn Rand

Ego

There is only Ego. I AM. The rest is nothingness. But I don't believe in egoism for its own sake. I practice practical egoism. As well as practical egolessness.

Think carefully.

Self-confidence

"Having lost self confidence, our problem is how to get it back – if we ever had it at all. Because, obviously, without the element of confidence we shall be led astray by every person we come across – and that is exactly what is happening."
-- J. Krishnamurti

Life is suffering

Love is long-suffering.

Thoughts

What happens to a thought
suppressed?
Does it keep coming back
Like a ghost in a dream?
Or complain like a madman
and then scream?
Does it stink like sweat
and cling like dirt
to your body?
Or perhaps it dissolves
like sugar in coffee.
Or maybe it implodes
quietly.

How to overcome social anxiety

Be assertive. Don't give...

Be brave but don't be stupid

Don't waste your time being stupid.

Chatter

Just when I thought
there wasn't any thought
or thoughts in my head,
It suddenly came to me,
just call it my theory.
Truly, it is living
the way meditators live,
by their own intuition.
Well, I will tell you
it wasn't easy, I admit,
but I had an inkling of it
of what it would be like,
From eating sandwiches
or working at the factories
or drinking hot coffee
at the local cafeteria,
daydreaming now and then,
or worrying about my weblog.
I wouldn't think so much
about young children
and old men and women
except in a certain way
expected by our society.
Rather, I'd let things
be how they are...

Be

Neither happy nor unhappy, neither detached nor attached, neither seeking liberation nor liberated, one is neither something nor nothing.

Not distracted in distraction, in mental stillness not poised, in stupidity not stupid, that blessed one is not even wise in one’s wisdom.

Dream On

Been travelling this road for so long
My eyes are tired but I carry on
The sun lays down it's golden threads
I need a place to rest my head
Although I am far from home now
My soul's with you
It's hard to be out here on my own
So far away, so far from home
I need to touch and feel your skin
To live this dream in sleep again
Although I am far from home now
My soul's with you
So dream on, dream on
Freedom comes with timeless sleep
Dream on, dream on
In the arms of night
Your silent shadow gently speaks
Dream on, dream on
This hotel room's a lonely place
It's a one night cell I must escape
So I drink away my loneliness
So I can sleep and dream again
Although I am far from home now
My soul's with you
And as I fall into
The darkness of the night
You come to rescue me to
Shield me in your light
I feel your touch
The softness of your skin
You hold me close before
The day breaks in
This dream's so true
My heart it beats, it beats
It beats for you, for you
Although I am far from home now
My soul's with you
So dream on, dream on
Freedom comes with timeless sleep
Dream on, dream on
In the arms of night
Your silent shadow gently speaks
So dream on, dream on
Dream on, dream on
So dream on, dream on
Dream on

Free Me

Why should I worry that you might not love me
You're not the only love I ever had
Your sweet memory will always comfort me
So why should I be feeling sad
Far as I can tell
You knew so well
I was always at the end of the line
I loved you as much as any man can
But not enough to make you mine
So long easy rider I know I'll miss you for awhile
But sooner or later I know that I'll forget you
Free me somebody free me won't you
Free me, free me from your spell
We let a good love die
We let it pass us by
Though you try to keep me hangin' on
But with all this doubt
It'll never work out
So tomorrow I'll be travellin' on

--Ken Hensley, ex-Uriah Heep

Uriah Heep

He went to Assen, which is about 60 kilometers from where he lives to see Uriah Heep -- they have a new album called Wake the Sleeper, after ten years. He wanted to catch some of the band's magnetism, if they had any. The lead singer looked young inspite of his age. He had long straight yellow hair. He reminded him of older pretty women who keep trying desperately to stay young and desirable. Anyway, he loved the music, altho he never had listened to it before. He danced to it without stopping for almost two hours; he thought that the crowd was too inhibited to show that much enthusiasm.

Dream

You must believe it,
Dream it, hope it.
You must see it fly
With your mind's eye.
Someday will come
Something will become
A shining butterfly
In the light-blue sky.

Be desireless

Or pretend to be. Don't show neediness.

Thee I love

Why do I love thee?
Let me tell thee why.
I love thee because
Thou art very pretty.
I love thee because
Thou maketh me happy.
Art thou wiser than me?
My, I do love thee!

My dirty little secret

That's me. I keep believing in myself. And in what I am doing. No matter what.

Coffie

What did I eat this morning?
Some cornflakes and pudding.
A cheese sandwich for dinner.
What will I have for supper?
Soft white rice, not so hot,
Something steamy in the pot.
I drink black cola, strong
Coffie all the day long.

Take heed

Kokorokoso kokoro mayowasu kokoronare
Kokoro ni kokoro, kokoro yurusuna.
--Takuan

It is the mind itself
Which deludes the mind;
Oh mind, take heed!

I'm me

Do you really know me?
I'm me! And I'm nobody.
If you are unknown like me;
Then you are very lucky.
Don't use your real name;
They can google you to fame.
But I will always be me.
How sad to be somebody,
How miry like a bog!

Dejeuner du Matin

Jacques Prevert

Il a mis le cafe
Dans la tasse
Il a mis le lait
Dans la tasse de cafe
Il a mis le sucre
Dans le cafe au lait
Avec la petite cuiller
Il a tourne
Il a bu le cafe au lait
Et il a repose la tasse
Sans me parler
Il a allume
Une cigarette
Il a fait des ronds
Avec la fumee
Il a mis les cendres
Dans le cendrier
Sans me parler
Sans me regarder
Il s'est leve
Il a mis
Son chapeau sur sa tete
Il a mis
Son manteau de pluie
Parce qu'il pleuvait
Et il est parti
Sous la pluie
Sans une parole
Et moi j'ai pris
Ma tete dans ma main
Et j'ai pleure.

The Working Hour -You Tube

These things that I've been told can rearrange
My world, my doubt in time but inside out
This is the working hour
We are paid by those who learn by our mistakes
This is the working hour
We are paid by those who learn by our mistakes
This day and age for all and not for one
All lies and secrets, put on, put on and on
This is the working hour
We are paid by those who learn by our mistakes
This is the working hour
We are paid by those who learn by our mistakes
And fear is such a vicious thing
It wraps me up in chains
Find out, find out, what this fear is about
Find out, find out, what this fear is about
Find out, find out, what this fear is about
Find out, find out, what this fear is about

Forgive and forget

Forgive yourself for your mistakes. And others for theirs. It's just a game.

The Hurting - You Tube

Is it an horrific dream
Am I sinking fast
Could a person be so mean
As to laugh and laugh
On my own
Could you ease my load
Could you see my pain
Could you please explain
The hurting

Could you understand a child
When he cries in pain
Could you give him all he needs
Or do you feel the same
All along
You've been told you're wrong
When you felt it right
And you're left to fight
The hurting

Get in line with the things you know
Feel the pain
Feel the sorrow
Touch the hurt and don't let go
Get in line with the things you know
Learn to cry
Like a baby
Then the hurting won't come back

How to keep your composure

I realized that composure is not something you acquire by practicing meditation techniques like concentration and awareness exercises, which are simply artificial means of achieving peace, tranquility, contentment, and happiness, and which are highly addictive. Rather, by knowing what to do or what not to do in certain situations. Seeking advice is therefore advisable.

Get some good advice

Some people know better than many of us do.

Loneliness

I woke up in the middle of the night,
Feeling restless and even desperate.
Is this what people call loneliness?
I felt sick in the stomach;
It made me feel really bad.
What reasons have I to be lonely?
Well, anyway, I took it in,
Chewed on it, swallowed it,
Stomached it, and digested it.
Then I went back to sleep.
When I woke up in the morning
There's this burning ache in my stomach.
It must be something I ate yesterday.
It was probably the chicory.
I won't eat chicory for supper again.

Be friends first

Perhaps more than friends later.

Keep your composure

What you think is what matters. Don't be intimidated by people who think they are morally and spiritually better.

Stop seeking approval

And reasurrance. Avoid neediness. Don't be a wussy.

Discover your highest purpose

Find out why you do what you do. Keep learning. And evolving.

How to deal with rejection

Learn from your mistakes. Why were you rejected? One possible reason could be that you flirted obviously. That you revealed your feelings and intentions too easily and too early. That people became uncomfortable with you before they got the chance to know you.
Anyway don't feel rejected. What you think is what matters. If you think people are getting uncomfortable with you, simply step back. Pretend disinterest. Stop and wait. Demonstrate high status and high value. Be self-confident. Keep improving yourself. Improve the quality of your life. Meet other more interesting people.

Love yourself

"For most people their true self remains definitely and deeply hidden. How can one love something if one doesn't know it, if it is never loved by others. Many intelligent people live without any inkling of the true self, perhaps in love with their idealized, conforming, false self -- unless a depression points to what they have lost, or a psychosis confronts them harshly with their real self, they are helplessly left with as a stranger."
--Alice Miller, the drama of the intelligent child. Translated from Dutch.

Lead!!!

Boredom

Many times I have difficulty concentrating. My mind tends to wonder. And when it does I think about being in love. I think about her. And I think she loves me. But I can't be with her.
I'm trying to improve my Dutch so I go to an evening school. Often I am too tired to pay attention. I tend to become bored. (A number of my classmates have dropped out already.) This evening I tried to relieve my boredom by studying faces. I examined everyone's facial features, eye colour, hair and hairdo, mouth, lips, front teeth, and the way each one smiles.
The teacher had asked everyone to write an haiku last week. I didn't have much time so I wrote one quickly.

Confessions

I really have a lot of things to tell but I'm afraid I would bore people and make them think I'm jabbering all the time. But sometimes it feels good to just mention certain things.
Yesterday I went to a "rommel markt"; I like going to these events. I got a lot of things at give-away prices. Things I really needed. To make my life more comfortable. And perhaps make me more attractive and iresistible.
While interacting with people I noticed that most of them were very friendly and kind towards me. A few of them looked at me with some degree of shyness. I don't know why. One woman mumbled something to herself when she gave me my things. Something like "schattig". I don't know what she really meant. Or maybe I was just imagining things.
I also noticed that some women were teasing me.
While going for a spin today, two young girls kept teasing me. They said I was wearing very nice sunglasses. And they asked where I bought it. I was about to give it away but realized I was wearing a single pair and didn't want to make the other jealous.
Yesterday, I saw Rebecca, who works at the local supermarket. She's very pretty and she's hot. She's a natural blond but her beauty is not flawless. Well, at least according my ideal. There is something about her face that makes her less perfect. And I don't know exactly what it is. But she's probably the prettiest of them all.
I've been flirting with her taking care not to be obvious. And she wouldn't look me in the eye. I think most hot girls don't stare into other people's eyes. She just kind of squint at me. And I take it as an indication of interest. So I reward her by actually wagging my brows at her openly the last times. She's beginning to laugh at me and with me.
There are a lot of other things I want to mention. But it would open some old wounds for me.

Party Animal

I was invited to the twelve and half year jubileum of our company. I had to go to place called Mitwolda for the party. So I looked it up on internet in order to find out how to get there easily. The first thing I came across thru google was a place called Mitwolde. So I went there and I found out I arrived at the wrong place. Luckily I had plenty of time and managed to get to the right one, which was really much closer to where I live. This things happen to me a lot. Perhaps because I rely too much on my intuition and vague feeling of being led by an unknown higher force or higher Self that some people call God or Buddha. Well, I became much wiser. Knowledge is power. A little is an expensive way to learn and wasteful.
Everybody was looking good and being at their best, wearing their prettiest clothes and acting like very successful people. I love the food and the entertainment; I forgot that I was vegetarian.

Always be prepared to meet people

Always look clean and good. Wear nice shoes.

Don't. Don't. Don't.

Thou shall not. This is my strongest mantra. Use it whenever you don't know what to do. Just don't be Jewish, Christian or Muslim about it. Don't do it. Whatever.

Don't waste your time on people who are not available

Look around. Be friendly. But don't show too much interest. In fact pretend disinterest. Or just a little interest. A slight crush is enough if you love flirting. And don't be too available. Well, if you want to be attractive and to be admired.

Don't be a wussy

It's very unattractive. Nobody respects a wimp and a pussy. To avoid being a wussy, you've got to have self-respect. And don't trade it for a little bit of love and affection.

Judge not, that ye be not judged.

Ye hypocrites!

More books

I'm trying to read a Dutch translation of Alice Miller's Das Drama des begabten Kindes und die suche nach dem wahren Selbst. Literally: The drama of the intelligent child and the search for the true self. A study on narcissism.
I bought several pocket books including a Dutch translation of Jung Chang's Wild Swans, Three Daughters of China, and Artists on Arts.

She's a ten

She came later this evening.
And she looked like a princess.
And ten times as pretty
as when I met her last week.
She moved like a matador
ready for her first kill.
From a distance she's even
more impressive because one
can see her totally and wholly.
We looked into each other eyes
this time much longer
but still a bit shyly.
I had no idea how old she was.
She seemed to be socialized
completely at an early age.
Then I stayed much longer
to watch the advanced group
and her assisting the teacher.
I kept glancing at her
taking care not to offend
anybody and her especially.
She seemed to be doing
the same and enjoying herself.
I wondered how she actually
saw me or was seeing me.
What makes any person beautiful
in the eyes of another?
Is it her pretty face and features
or her personality and character,
which might actually be showing thru?
Or is it intelligence and ability?
Can innocence and spirituality
be more beautiful than anything?
I walked with her on her way out,
realized she was with her parents.

Go back to the basics

Whatever.

Keep believing in yourself

Keep improving. Or evolving.
