save the word
is it me you're trying
to sell your beliefs to
or yourself?

self hypnosis
through repetition
say it enough times
and it must be true

path of the righteous
or the self-righteous?

"path of the righteous

I love the ambiquity here...and eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeyikes!

I have to quit this thinking stuff--you made me wonder if one must be righteous to even pose such a question! and then? I have to wonder who is there that could answer?

smiling.

Hugs.

E me some zanax?

uh huh... even the mantra of critical thinking and questioning becomes one of those self hypnotic things....


an enigma here inside the paradigm of "right" and "truth"

perhaps the self hypnotic mantra of all things being relative applies...or perhaps that is in off shoot of abdicating responsibility...

Self-hypnosis works for me!

~ It doesn't hurt. It doesn't hurt. It doesn't hurt. It doesn't hurt......Now my broken toe doesn't hurt! Well, maybe just a bit...I better say some more repetitions...

It doesn't hurt. It doesn't hurt...It better stop hurting pretty soon or I'll start spouting something mighty irreverent!--and I won't be deleting any of the expletives! lol

~ Broke the same toe twice in the last few weeks!

Unique and interesting write--as usual!

pushy..pushing people...trying to push their beliefs on you.

I tell my friend that telling me that I should find god is the same thing as me telling her to worship buddha or something. not my beliefs. sighs

she still won't listen

and i l^ve this

And the angel said unto me, "These are the cries of the carrots, the cries of the carrots!"
