Explore The World Outside Your Bubble






Why is it that we regiment our lives so rigidly? Too the point we have built boring linear forms of living that we know is failing to progress us? Were always dictated what to do and when to do it culturally from a young age.

 

WELCOME TO THE GREAT GAME OF LIFE! WHERE YOU ARE FREE TO LIVE IT AS YOU PLEASE...BUT WITHIN THESE SIMPLE RULES: Go to school! Go get a job! Go get married! Go get a house! Go have kids! Go save for retirement! Go retire! Go try having all the fun you wanted too while you were young! Go die! And repeat for the next generation!    


I say F**K that! I implore everyone to forget what they have been told and go experience an altered state of consciousness! Get outside your everyday bubble of comfort! Go try something new, something that you’re afraid of, something forbidden for reasons beyond you! Push the limits of your physical or mental capacities and explore how far we can really evolve. Do something to make your reality yours. Leave a F***ING mark go out with a bang! Let the world know you were there you lived it to the fullest you possibly could! No one can tell you otherwise this life is yours not theirs let them live how they want to! No real progress was ever made traveling down the paved worn road! Take that detour! Go off course thrown that damn GPS and compass out the window! Make your own path! Pave it for others to also follow! Be labeled crazy, insane, and weird, for it’s always been the ones that were crazy that brought real change to the future. Don't be that one person who is always seeking security and living cautiously by what everyone else tells them is the safest thing to do. Take risks, fail, learn and do it all over again. Time does not dictate you! Time is man-made! So stop being a slave to it! Do things simply because you want to do it! And live at you own pace this is your living reality make it the best you could possibly imagine!



Live like no one ever has! and die a legend! :)

Freedom Over Security


We must learn to inspire the generation after us to really follow their hearts, and help raise them in a culture that isn't about how much we make, but more about how much we do for others. As the latter will help progress our society way more than competitively trying to step over one another and trying to one up our neighbor. It seem we are trapped in a society that is designed while we are young and can really do a lot to progress mankind to be stuck culturally on the lower half of Maslow's hierarchy of needs.




We are designed to finding ourselves teetering between obtaining Physiological and safety needs. This is seen in our youth and young adults who are struggling trying to discover their place in our society today, all the while balancing having a home, food, job, friends and someone to fuck, and it is only after we have grown old ready to retire plagued by illness and age are we free to self-actualize. We are then found to be irrelevant aspects of society "A crazy old man/woman" to be thrown in an old age home to await death heavily sedated.  We are never actually taken seriously to make the changes we come to realize upon self-actualizing and learning how essential it is to end this consumerist cycle, instead were only needed to be smart and capable enough to keep capitalism alive and well. We need to restructure our society so that it allows more time, resource and value of letting people reach self-actualization stage as this will prove to be more beneficial to progress our race in all fields of work and innovation.


We need to change this! Our generation needs to put an end to this vicious cycle we have be born into and expected to continue. It must end with us for the sake of the generations to come, they must not suffer like we have.

We're Always Chasing, But Never Living

 
 

We lead lives where we are always preparing, saving, or waiting for something but never actually living. 

 

Think about this in all the years of living we have accomplished have we actually ever been taught to live life for today, isn't the present the most realest and tangible moments of our lives. So why is it that we squander it away preparing for a future moment that isn’t the present?


We been culturally and socially conditioned to chase, that’s all we ever do and when we do get to where we wanted to be we realize were lost. We been chasing all our lives we don’t even know what to do when we stop chasing. How many of you reading this find when you are not in school, or working, or doing something someone told you to do and are given a day off you have no idea what to do with it. You feel lost, confused, or bored, you find yourself paying bills, watching T.V, playing games, drinking just something to distract you and kill time till your back in the chase. We waste a precious moment in time that we’re given the only real moment that matters. It’s a sick culture we have cultivated and it’s very detrimental to all of our health and peace of mind. I just wish I knew a way to solve this predicament were born into and find ourselves stuck in.

A World of Magic



Our lives are much more than just cold numbers, formulas, and rational reasoning. There seems to be at play a mystical or grandiose force that color our interactions with the world. Its like when you have that one totally shitty day, week, month, year and your just bogged down by this one problem. This problem can be anything from something small to something of huge significance in your life this forces effects will resonate with you for the rest of your life.

I happened to be biking one day I was having a bit of financial issues and I wasn't being given enough hours at my place of work and such, so I decided to go for a bike ride (my form of stress release to clear my mind). When along this ride I witness a hit and run accident and out of my moral obligation towards my fellow man decide to stop and be a witness (mind you this was my first time being one). I gave my verbal and written statement and was told I can leave after a long arduous process that took over 3 hours of my day. As I was going to leave the couple I remained a witness for approached me and slipped me $50 and took me out to lunch at a time after to say thank you. This was one of those moments I felt that odd mystical force at play like I was given that accident and the opportunity to meet such a kind and interesting couple and in turn life used them to help me out with my life problems.

Another bigger example of this magic of life was last year. I was in a new program at school and I had come out of a period of time where I had pulled myself out of the 3 year long depression I was combating. I was really starting to make up for the lost time, I was having fun partying hard real reckless stuff and I had no care in the world. That last line was a little lie I liked to tell myself often but the truth of the matter was I was always trying to find that one person to complete me. I had met quite a few over the year but none of them provided real value their characters and lives warped by their excessive lifestyles (that I was now finding myself being sucked into). That is till the magic happened and life started sending its signs my way. I first met one that really set the ground work the interaction was short and developed quite quickly but it built for me a frame work that I wanted out of the future girl I meet, then as that chapter was ending and I was met with another. This girl was something she was everything I had looked for but this too felt like it was just another lesson to be provided. Though she had all the traits I liked she was missing a key trait that was leading to my stagnation, but through that time with her I was learning to understand what I was really passionate about.

Life is a magical place if you choose to see and realize the true nature of it.
It's full of miracles and life will bring us the right people, the right situations, or the right lesson. As long as we trust life and leave ourselves open to realize the opportunities it opens up for us.


I'll let you in on a secret that I have lived and witness first hand.

Life is energy! The energy we send out is the same energy we attract. Nature follows the energy the earth sends out (reason for great migrations). Humans send out energies and this is why sometime we attract people similar to us (friends, lovers). Raise the energy you send out and you'll change the energy the world sends back.

The Return To Eden

 

 

We the people need to return to scared old values and reestablish our link to the earth. Were lost we all feel it deep down, none of us know what the hell were doing and why we’re doing it. The effect of this can be seen in the rising need for us to sadly medicate and detach ourselves from our present reality. It's a very sad debilitating condition we have brought upon ourselves, I can see it in the eyes of our youth today, and they struggle to cope with this reality we have entangled them in. The need to escape reality is stronger than it has been before to the point our society has a huge drug problem be it medical or illegal. The route in which we can escape our true problems have also grown a vast amount. Presently there is a great demand now for escape avenues, and new pathways keep surfacing to meet the ever growing need; Social media, Video games, Reality T.V, Internet, Cell phones, Music, Clubs, Designer Drugs, Pharmaceutical Drugs, Virtual Reality, and various pick and choose lifestyles are a few of the many growing escape route examples present today. We must return to true freedom and escape this linear lifestyle that we designed. In order to save our future generations, the planet, and the human race itself. 


Song Of The Day 02


Nas & Damian Marley - Patience (Sabali)

 

The heavily saturated airwaves today play music that seems to lack rich meaningful content and depth. Music that seemingly challenges the status quo appears to be avoided like the plague on mainstream radio. Everything seems to recycle sex, money, drugs and basic materialistic topics. So I have decide to make a page for content driven music. Feel free to share/express your views and interpretations on shared content in the comments below. - Andrew Ranjan


This song I personally believe to be the best song released by these amazing collaborators Nas and Damian Marley. The topics touched upon by the two artist was a real breath of fresh air as many of the ideas touched on really gave me hope. I was young and in grade 10 a time I was really just beginning to understand the world as it truly was and had started to feel really alienated amongst my peers, and of the superficial understanding I had of the world through the programed bubble of the mainstream around me. Then I stumbled came across this gem, a true musical work of art. Topics of the world being corrupt, man flawed and fueled by selfish desires, the systematic profiteering by exploiting nature and human lives for power. Topic of ancient knowledge and of the war waged to gain ownership of our souls all these thing that I had started to believe made me crazy and odd for thinking about. I was spending most my time questioning and researching answers, when others seemed to not care or have the slightest clue. Till stumbled across this song and I realized the existence of others that thought about these same issues, and that there is a whole movement behind them. I came to realize I was not the crazy or weird one it was our society that was truly insane and demented.
