Well, I try to take ego out of things, but it was nice to get the question. So here we go....
"I love your blog, but I have a question. Does being on this 'path' or religion mean that you have to give up everything fun? I mean, what do you like? What do you do for fun? You don't just sit around in silence all day, right? You seem like a good guy...Tell me about you."
First, let me clear up some mis-conceptions. My path is not a religion. It is not a systematic path of following a doctrine that someone wrote down a few hundred years ago. It is not an interpretation of someone else's ideals or views. It is simply and unveiling. It is a process of removing the cover to reveal the truth that has ALWAYS existed without opinion.
On this path, let me make one thing clear: No one can teach you anything. You already know the answers. All a "teacher" can do is REVEAL the truth. The truth is there. Just reach out for it. Close your eyes, shut up for 10 minutes and it will come to you. I promise.
So what do I "like" and what do I do for fun?
How about a list.
- Oklahoma University Football
- Getting tattoos
- Girls with tattoos
- Girls who can rock a t-shirt and jeans
- Casual street fashion
- Sports on TV
- Good Beer (but never over-do it...not anymore!)
- Music
- Playing my guitar
- Playing video games with my son
- Earthy smells
- Long drives
- Going to the ocean
- Dreaming
I am a normal guy. I curse a little too much. I make mistakes. I don't always reach my full potential. I have flaws. BUT...I love myself. I love my path. And I love life.
Thanks for asking---That was fun. As much as I work on putting away my ego, it's nice that someone gave a damn.
