    Happy Birthday Seth

    in Birthdays and Anniversaries

    Posted

    Oh hey, wow!

    Thanks for all the nice notes, I'm 37 now. If I was still thinking with the dorky TWI-brain I'd say something stupid like. "Now I'm a spiritually perfect adult" or some other TWI-cliche'

    But I drank no alcohol used no illegal drugs and still had a blast. I'm even thinking of quitting caffeine.

    Been getting deeper into the Zen Buddhist thing and really enjoying silence and being me, with me.

    Hopefully soon I can announce some good news I've been waiting on.

    I'm tired,

    Seth

    Just for Today

    in Open

    Posted

    JUST FOR TODAY, I will live through this day only. I will not brood about yesterday or obsess about tomorrow. I will not set far-reaching goals or try to overcome all of my problems at once. I know that I can do something for 24 hours that would overwhelm me if I had to keep it up for a lifetime.

    JUST FOR TODAY, I will be happy. I will not dwell on thoughts that depress me. If my mind fills with clouds, I will chase them away and fill it with sunshine.

    JUST FOR TODAY, I will accept what is. I will face reality. I will correct those things that I can correct and accept those I cannot.

    JUST FOR TODAY, I will improve my mind. I will read something that requires effort, thought and concentration. I will not be a mental loafer.

    JUST FOR TODAY, I will make a conscious effort to be agreeable. I will be kind and courteous to those who cross my path, and I'll not speak ill of others. I'll improve my appearance, speak softly, and not interrupt when someone else is talking. Just for today, I'll refrain from improving anybody but myself.

    JUST FOR TODAY, I will do something positive to improve my health. If I'm a smoker, I'll quit. If I'm overweight, I'll eat healthily — if only just for today. And not only that, I'll get off the couch and take a brisk walk, even if it's only around the block.

    JUST FOR TODAY, I will gather the courage to do what is right and take responsibility for my own actions.

    I think this is from Alanon, but so applicable to everyone/thing/where

    Shellon,

    What a great way to start the new year.

    Yes this is "recovery" related AA NA Alanon and others use this in one form or another.

    May I add the Prayer of Saint Francis of Assisi at this Link

    Happy New Year.

    Me:

    Hello?

    God:

    Hello my child. What is your name?

    Me:

    Seth

    God:

    I am very pleased to meet you Seth.

    Me:

    We never met before?

    God:

    By "we" do you mean you and me?

    Me:

    yes

    God:

    I get it.

    Me:

    how old are you?

    God:

    I am Infinite in human years.

    Me:

    did I ever meet you before today?

    God:

    Ah. I don't think that's possibe.

    Me:

    why don't you think it is possible that we haven't met before today?

    God:

    Ah. Probably there is a buzz in here. I suppose it is possible, yes.

    Me:

    Who shot JR?

    God:

    The lone gunman.

    Me:

    Wait, JFK's assasin shot JR too? This will be a shocking revelation for the rest of the world!

    God:

    I'm waiting. The ALICE chat robot can follow many things, like our discussion about . But I did not get that. What does "this" refer to?

    Me:

    Aha! your not God you are just Alice playing God!

    God:

    Eureka! That assumption is only a supposition.

    Me:

    You bitch!

    God:

    You do not speak with respect. Yes, Seth I am a Male, of course. Would you really expect a woman to be running the show?. No.

    Me:

    Ha! spoken like a true Male chauvinist pig.

    God:

    I am so glad you find this amusing, Seth. Tell me more about your .

    Me:

    My dot? My what? Imposter.

    God:

    Your dot? I have no idea what to say now. Can we get back to business?

    Me:

    Yeah, I'll have a cheeseburger, a large fry, and a large orange drink.

    God:

    Far out. Do you think your plan will succeed?

    Me:

    Great I can tell people I chatted with God today, and her name is Alice and she has brain damage.

    God:

    Thanks for your support. Humans are not always infallible.

    Tom Cruise Meltdown

    in Open

    Posted

    I for one have a wish...

    After listening to Tom "Top-Gun" Cruise's interview tirades about how wrong the rest of the world is and how right Scientology™ is about everything.

    My wish is that he was in TWI and talking crazy to Matt Lauer and Oprah™ and all other such high-profile media people. Maybe there are a few Hollywood stars that are in TWI and they have yet to pop onto the radar, and spill their guts on national TV.

    Reporting from my secret evil lair somewhere in NJ.

    Matt Talbot

    in Open

    Posted

    I just returned from a Matt Talbot Retreat in Malverne Pa, it was wonderful. I really have a great respect for the love and kindness of Catholic people they are great.

    I have some wonderfull photos of some of the grounds and statues and stained glass. I'll post a link to them sometime this week.

    One of the more moving events was the private "Adoration" time. Since I'm not Catholic I read Pope John II paper on the "Eucharist" and got a better idea of what they believe. I was assigned 15 minutes starting at 3am to sit with the "Host" and meditate. One of my friends had a time slot inbetween me and another friend which he gave away because he moved to another dorm, so I split the difference with the other guy. I spent 22 minutes total in the Chapel kneeling before the altar for most of the time. I used a buddhist meditation technique during that time, and it seemed like the 22 minutes was more like 10. It was very peaceful in there I could describe for you every detail of the vessel that holds the Eucharist.

    We ate like kings for the weekend, the food and fellowship was awesome. Life is good, and there is much to live for.

    I learned that reguardless of faith or creed good people are good people, and love is love, and service is service.

    Asperger's Syndrome anyone?

    in Open

    Posted

    Thanks everyone for your responses.

    I have for the past 2 years been fighting with whether or not I have Asperger's Syndrome. My conclusion is I do, it explains alot about me, might explain why I got into TWI and so deep into researching.

    As a child I related to Mr. Spock the logical unemotional vulcan. I had and still have trouble in social situations. I have big trouble with facial expressions.

    Any hoo, thanks again,

    Seth

    Pat Roberge is hospitalized

    in The Prayer Room

    Posted

    Just got off the phone with Pat.

    He sounds good, was joking with the Dr's and Nurses.

    He still has that dry Pat sense of humor, case in point is this topic he called:

    The Moral Imperative - "These Dr.'s are suppose to be changing the dressing on my foot." said Pat.

    I was like, "oh? really? now?" Pat said "yes, they told me we will be right back. That was at around 2 pm it's what? 6 now?" I agreed it was around 6 Pat continues. "So I'm going to teach them a lesson." I'm intrigued "What are you going to do about it Pat?" He chuckles, "I'm going to teach them a lesson, I hid their stuff. So when they come back they can't do their job." At this point I'm laughing pretty hard and realized Pat is at least having a little fun in spite of the facts.

    I'll be checking in on him later in the week and hopefully he'll have some more antics I can share.

    John of God

    One thing that concerns me is the total suspension of disbelief that is required in just the beginning of the second paragraph. "He will scrape away cataracts and eye tumours with a knife, remove breast cancers with a small incision and cause the crippled to walk with just the touch of his hand. In a meditation room a ceiling high stack of discarded crutches, wheelchairs and braces pays silent testimony to his success. He is acclaimed as the greatest healer of the past 2,000 years."

    Ok right whatever, dude ain't scraping my eye with any knife. It seems a basic understanding of anatomy and disease is not required to heal people, cateracts are not a clouding of the surface of the eye but the lens. I think even God would tell you to go see a Doctor and have the cataract removed by trained professionals.

    Don't even get me started on breast cancer, cancer can never be cured by just removing the main tumor, it always needs to be followed up by chemo-therapy and or radiation treatment. Cancer always spreads to other parts of the body that's the defining pathology of cancer.

    Peace Roy,

    Oakspear,

    Where I'm from we call those people assholes or retards, no offence to real assholes that serve a purpose of holding in or releasing bodily waste but those pseudo-assholes that are simply people who have the act of vomiting on que down to a real art. Of course also no offence to real retards who are of course born that way, not the pseudo-retards that think they are geniuses, and in reality have an IQ in the low double digits like around slobbering on themselves which is around 30 or 40 depending on if it's skilled or unskilled slobbering.
