A Climate of Change.
In day to day life, at home, in school, at work, in business, change is going on
all the time.  The daily pursuit of food, water, shelter, money, knowledge,
success and development is a change from sitting under a tree and doing nothing.
That kind of repetitious change is not a change at all.  It is obvious there are
all the practices, habits, customs, strategies, methodologies, systems,
processes of the world I live in which through time do not substantially change,
except in very superficial ways.  Even a new  invention  only requires that I
adopt to new and different practices.  Fundamentally I don't change.
I think of change when I get sick, have an accident, am unhappy, am in
discomfort, or I am afraid.  For me change is the rearrangement of my
circumstances, and I do this by using the practices, habits, customs, strategies
and systems available in the world I live, even if it is to escape into some
unknown.
So what do I do I do when I see that the whole world I find myself in, is
producing a climate of unhappiness, sickness, discomfort, and fear, and it is
this which impels me to seek change?  Is any action I take really going to be a
change for the better?  Why do I understand change to be an action to take?  Is
there a change not involving action as I know it?  Is there a different approach
to change which I haven't thought of?

I see your point as valid. I guess my concern is how to make the reaction
reasonable.  Which is futile as you point out. To me it shows the way
relationships with people are an interaction based on an illusion, a fantasy. 
The whole approach of interaction is questionable.To observe myself and the
mind, my brain, attentively with no desire or need for interaction, there is a
sense of isolation, or self-containment, or separation, which appears to be a
stumbling point: As if the world of interaction is an absolute reality
(psychologically)to which there is no other sensible course but to see myself as
a bit part in an interacting scheme.  This points to desire.

If you are interested look in the Photos link in the side panel.  Some recent
photos from Springbrook Gathering 2009 (Queensland) have been added.

I can ask the questions which lead me to think about my state of mind, my
condition. I can understand that it is the conditioning which prevents openness
of mind. I can be aware the activity of thinking as I know it, is limited.  I
can also follow this logic and see the insight pointing to the openness free of
the limited perception of mind. It is then that I must see there is a resistance
of mind, a resistance which is what I know to be a normal, standard condition of
mind, which is me, my identity, my belief, my knowledge, all of me;  an
individual personality, inhabiting a family, a job, a society, a civilization,
and is the one who has experience and insight.  The insight reveals the complete
resistance that is me, thought and mind.   When I think about all of this, about
change, about operating completely differently  to what I am, there is
resistance.  Not the resistance of not trying something new, not going somewhere
new, not having new ideas, or not doing something different,  the resistance
because the operation of living I am used to, is a habit. The  physical and
mental operation of my being, my brain, my body, my thinking, is basically
unchanging.  Stuck like this, how is there to be any fresh activity?  I don't
mean the pursuit of some different activity, like an entrepreneur, a sports
person, or a hobbyist, I mean, to be active free from resistance.  Active in the
present with no pursuit of experience, and free of the resistance that is me.
What I need is a completely new energy.

The reason you disagreed is the people you talk to are complete idiots evil
lying planet raping liars
Allways remember thought is limited
