My rude awakening was when I told the truth. By lowering my pride, I revealed my stupidity and greed. Out of compassion, an elderly couple gave me a generous birthday gift meant to help me get out of a bind. I have no other means to repay them except my gratitude and daily servitude to their needs. The only other favors were prayers to keep from going insane, a job to stay afloat during these economic hardships and financial distress, good health and nice weather. Everything else is empty.

Topic #96: Describe a debt you have yet to repay. (Hint: it does not have to be a financial debt. Did someone do you a favor? Give you great advice? help you out of a bind?)

The best gift is aging, the ability to die and not remember ever having to reincarnate. The worst gift is life in a fleshy body. Instead of enjoying life, living is a struggle — eating good food makes one fat, sleeping too much is just as bad, including “sleeping around” with multiple partners (or cheating), and pooping is a matter of processing already dead matter into waste. That’s how the world has been: The reverse of what it is supposed to be — peace. What appears to be beautiful is really hell. And war occurs inside one’s mind and outwardly as shown on mainstream media. Have you ever met someone so wonderful that you later on discover how equally if not more awful the dark side can be? Have you ever wondered why nature shows one predators killing a consumer? Have you noticed how repetitive the cycle of life and death is played?

If I had to re-gift, it wouldn’t be material objects. Although some place emotional values on these man-made trinkets, it’s really all empty. After all, only the beholder would fully appreciate what has been given as long as the memory is intact. Not amount of public viewing would be understood as the original recipient of precious thoughts. Once forgotten, a gift has but lost all its value until someone else cherishes said item(s) as much as the previous “owner(s)”. Wouldn’t it me nice if you could just hand someone your karmic debt and know what it really feels like to actually gift and re-gift? I’m sure the feelings would be mutual, eventually.

Topic #91: What is the best gift you’ve ever received? Bonus: what is the worst gift you’ve ever received? (Think re-gifting)

I’m on the “Beach of Time”. The sands are endless and all around. The waves are crashing and sometimes calm. The sun is shining. The air is still, cool and smells of ocean. I notice no critters flying, swimming or crawling. To my right is foggy bank leading to the “past”. To my left is a foggy bank leading to the “future”.

First, I choose to close my eyes, relax to a blissful mediation and count backwards: 5-4-3-2-1. And I see myself walking back to the “past”. I try to tell myself not to get involved with foreigners and so-called religious leaders. Try as I may, I couldn’t hear myself and went ahead as expected. I closed my eyes again, counted forward 1-2-3-4-5 and walked back to the “Beach of Time”.

Next, I choose to close my eyes, relax to a blissful mediation and count backwards: 5-4-3-2-1. And I see myself walking up to the “future”. I try to tell myself not to worry anymore because my past was the best path without regret. Try as I may, I couldn’t hear myself and was convinced I made a mistake. I closed my eyes again, counted forward 1-2-3-4-5 and walked back to the “Beach of Time”.

I finally realized that my time is here and now: And it’s perfect. No matter how I dreamed, lucid or not, I’m always meeting people and learning as if those lucid dreams are real but “foggy”. Maybe I’m in a dream right now because I’m actively programming my matrix for harmony. There are no other words to describe one’s purpose than balance.
