Meditation for February 19th, 2016
Getting Ahead
One of the reasons people turns to meditation and spiritual practices are they want to strengthen themselves and help achieve goals. There are different reasons meditation helps with attaining goals and sometimes meditation is not going to help at all. How can meditating help you with your objectives today? What do you focus on when you want something?
The one thing that is true is that if you want something you can’t be nice. That’s right, if you have a goal, and that goal is your number one priority, then you will have to walk over others to get it. One doesn’t have time to listen to why someone hurt feelings when one is trying to take over the fashion industry or becoming the best Irish Jigger in the U.S. Feet must be stepped on.
Nice guys do finish last. People are always jacking their thumb at Warren Buffet and Bill Gates spending all their riches on others, but they had to completely steam roll others to get those billions. Assholes are going to achieve goals better than nice people, unless being a meek mannered dude having trouble getting his pony tail up into a top knot at the end of yoga class and wonder if following Cindy to the food co-op and wow her with his knowledge of lychee fruit or follow Sara with no H to the coffee shop and try to talk her into posing for his photography, but will probably go home and watch Sons of Anarchy and eat spaghetti with no sauce is your goal.
Prayer
Mars,
my enemies are everyone that is not I.
Bless my sword,
for I will vanquish all in my path.
I will fall armies with a single spear,
decimate citadels with my bare hands,
dominate war mages with my steely stare.
I will not fail.
I will run this half marathon,
and all will know I did it,
for I will tell people,
and I will have a 13.1 sticker on my Subaru…
as I drive through the blood of those who don’t run, for they are the real enemy.
Thor, but probably Loki,
I don’t like this person.
I don’t think I can fight this person in a duel,
and duels are illegal unfortunately.
I need to destroy this person.
I can’t stop dreaming of doing horrible things to this person every night.
Give me the know how to talk shit behind this person’s back.
Give me the power to change people’s opinion about this person.
Isolate.
Spread rumors so that this person’s very job security is at stake,
relationship becomes rocky,
social standing is suspect.
May I sound like a concern person,
someone who just wants everyone to understand,
even sound like I sympathies with this piece of shit,
but let me destroy this person’s self-esteem, personal relationships, security, sexual relationships and ambitions.
May I leave scorched earth with nothing more than Survivor the TV show type drama.
Amen.
Craft
Booby traps are a way to protect you, your family and your property from them. Booby traps not only slow down your enemy, but channels them into kill boxes, humiliates the trespasser and acts like an alarm to let you know there are barbarians at the gates.
Trip wires can trigger an alarm or bring a heavy item to fall on your assailant. The key is to find wire that is hard to see but strong enough to trip a grown adult. You can have the wire bring a branch to come around and slap in the face or bring two huge logs to meet in the middle – the person’s head.
Pit traps are ways to really slow down an assault on your house. Camouflaging the pit is the challenge and whether to put spikes at the bottom. I like fire ants personally, but I’m a sick bastard. You can either place weak sticks across the pit or make a leverage system.
Once you figure out how to channel the perpetrator, you can make them arrive to kill boxes where you and your family are on top armed, a trap room that fills with gas, water or spiders.
Sometimes just making something look like a booby trap is enough to ward away unwanted visitors and government lackeys. Just leaving a lunch box with some red and green wires hanging out can make a person jump to conclusions.
If the person overpowers your property and makes it your home, this is where I look to survivalist celebrity, Kevin McCallister, for inspiration:
Petroleum jelly the kitchen tile
Giant punching glove on a spring behind a door
Bucket full of water and another bucket full of flour on top of a door slightly ajar
Plastic wrap the toilets for optimum splash
Legos and a sign that says please take off shoes
Before escaping stuff a chicken and or a fish into a gallon of milk and leave in the ducts in case the conquerors stay a long time.
Goal
If you want to be on top, you’re going to have to claw, fight, pull hair and bite your way. You can’t wait for others to respect your boundaries when you should be making them redefine their own. You ignore any handicaps you have and focus on others’. If you find a person’s Achilles heel, then you focus your thermal nuclear devices on that. You can’t be seen as a crybaby, so kill anyone who knows or suspects that you are sensitive. It is more important to make money than to be happy, so don’t think you can have both. Happiness is for hippies, socialists and Democrats, and those are weak and stupid.
