Great idea you silly wabbit. I would also like to purpose "Sarcastic Monkey Points". Get to work Enigma. Tutorial: How to be Sarcastic As mentioned above sarcasm is usually innate; however, if you would still like to attempt developing this ability, your chances of success would be greatly increased if you are intelligent, or at the least not mentally incapable of detecting and reproducing sarcastic remarks. Because if you cannot make your very own sarcastic comments, you can still pass as having some grasp of this art by being able to recognize sarcasm when it is produced by someone else, and be able to retain it in memory long enough to use it at a later time when that particular sarcastic remark would be relevant. The rest is at this web site... www.sarcasmsociety.com/sarcasm/howtobesarcastic |

I work as a cashier, it's not very fulfilling and it's bit boring. I've surrendered to the fact that I've got a rotten old job and would like to change it. But the UK's in a deep recession, looks like life doesn't want me to anywhere for the time being. (actually I resent my post).
I can relate I've been staring at the cross-roads all my life or so. Currently journaling using Dr Ira Progroffs, At A Journal Workshop. Hoping this will shed light and uncover the next steps as to where I should go. But Anyway, I managed to attend university but that went pear-shaped, sort of failed. Had to get a job, been job-hopping as many of the jobs are in-adequate. The hard part is trying to workout what to do next, where to go...

the real world will guide you. just allow it. i would agree... let go. the feeling and the experience(s) that follow are heavenly... you never want to be anywhere else... belief and trust are important... by my experience, one lets go mostly when burdeouns become unbearable... when letting go control you gain control... over your experience... pain makes you humble. With humility comes the willingness to stop trying to control or change other people or life situations or events ostensibly 'for their own good'. To be a committed spiritual seeker, it is necessary to relinquish the desire to be 'right' or of imaginary value to society. In fact, nobody's ego or belief systems are of any value to society at all. The world is neither good nor bad nor defective, nor is it in need of help or modification because its appearance is only a projection of one's own mind. No such world exists.

If your a non dualist you sit back and watch the show, be like a leaf in the wind and enjoy whatever happens to you even if it's bad... Which is what they're really afraid to do, you know, trust what they think they are, and trust that reality exists, the way they think it exists. Or f your a dualist, you get out there, make plans, set goals, struggle along the path and see what happens. You know make your own destiny. Either way it's life expressing itself, but the perception of it, is all in your head. A third way is to have a foot in each interpretation of reality. That way you'll be able to explain everything and anything that happens to you..  |

*Keep the attention in neutrality.
*A thought without belief has no power; a thought with belief can start a war.
*...In whose presence, apparently, you have an apparent life, apparent relatioships; and it's fine. Enjoy. It's not an anti-life message. But if you make your stand amongst the transient the temporary, the changeful, then you will taste suffering.

The hard part is trying to workout what to do next, where to go... As I've found out since starting this post, it's the whole "me" idea that is the problem. There is no "me" here to have all these complaints about my job, it's the ego talking. The ego likes to make complaints about anything cause that is what it does........more often than even it likes. HAHAHA. No job will be fulfilling to it after a while. No job will stay exciting to it after a while. It will tell you that every job is rotten eventually. So I've found that if I just ignore it and realize there is no "me" there to do anything, or think anything, all of a sudden there is nothing to do, but whatever I'm doing at this moment. It never has a chance to complain and even if it does, it just gets ignored and focus is put on right now, and that complaint disappears into the nothingness from which it came.  So there's a starting place for ya, if ya feel it to be one. ;D |

Thanks for the thread. I don't know if it helps but have been going through similar process ever since started working after qualifying from college and am re-training by taking week-end classes. I am in transition of going from pharmacist to acupuncturist. I believe the latter to be more at peace with spirit and nature, even though i realize that my ego resistance to what is is source of unhappiness at work.
