SELF-DECIPLINE

SELF-DISCIPLINE:

A decision and resolve to control your own actions, behavior, opinions, emotions, body, environment, and everything that influences you, toward accomplishing an objective that you choose.

Your decision must be renewed in every moment of every hour. The control required is a relentless pursuit of perfection, as well as brutal and unyielding concentration — regardless of any barrier or opponent.

The ability to decide, control, concentrate and persist is your assurance of success.

HIGHWAY TO HELL

prison-planet-hellRecently, a 52-year old trades person (a chimney builder) living in Bavaria, passed away unexpectedly from a heart attack.  Ironically, only a few weeks before he died he told his friends that when he died he wanted them to play the song “Highway To Hell” at his funeral ceremony.  Bavaria, like many unfortunate areas of the planet, is heavily controlled by the Catholic Church.  So, the priest who presided over the funeral ceremony decided that the wishes of the deceased should be ignored.  So, the song the Bavarian man wanted his friends and family to hear, as a tribute to his Life and Spirit, was not played. Rather, “proper religious songs” were played according to the dictates of the church.

I am duty-b0und to post the song on my Blog in honor of this man.  Each person deserves a chance to to live their OWN life, to think their own thoughts and die their own death.  I also want to say — on behalf of a disembodied spirit of the deceased — “fuck you!” to all priests — the self-appointed prison guards of the Spiritual Beings living in the Virtual Hell we call Earth.  As an Immortal Spiritual Being I am confident that this disembodied spirit will complete his personal journey on the “Highway to Hell”, when he is reincarnated in a new baby body, and starts driving again on the “Highway to Hell” that we all Earth.  Let the celebration is His Life begin!  May he Rest In Peace…..

LYRICS:

Living easy, loving free, season ticket on a one-way ride
Asking nothing, leave me be, taking everything in my stride
Don’t need reason, don’t need rhyme
Ain’t nothing that I’d rather do
Going down, party time, my friends are gonna be there too

I’m on the highway to hell
Highway to Hell
I’m on the highway to hell

No stop signs, speed limit, nobody’s gonna slow me down
Like a wheel, gonna spin it, nobody’s gonna mess me around
Hey Satan, paying my dues, playing in a rocking band
Hey Mumma, look at me, I’m on my way to the promised land

I’m on the highway to hell
Highway to Hell
I’m on the highway to hell

Don’t stop me

I’m on the highway to hell
On the highway to hell
Highway to Hell
I’m on the highway to hell

And I’m going down, all the way
I’m on the highway to hell!

ETERNAL NOW

Alan Wilson Watts (6 January 1915 – 16 November 1973) was a British-born philosopher, writer, and speaker, best known as an interpreter and populariser of Eastern philosophy for a Western audience. Born in Chislehurst, he moved to the United States in 1938 and began Zen training in New York. Pursuing a career, he attended Seabury-Western Theological Seminary, where he received a master’s degree in theology. Watts became an Episcopal priest but left the ministry in 1950 and moved to California, where he joined the faculty of the American Academy of Asian Studies.

Living on the West Coast, Watts gained a large following in the San Francisco Bay Area while working as a volunteer programmer at KPFA, a Pacifica Radio station in Berkeley. Watts wrote more than 25 books and articles on subjects important to Eastern and Western religion, introducing the then-burgeoning youth culture to The Way of Zen (1957), one of the first bestselling books on Buddhism. In Psychotherapy East and West (1961), Watts proposed that Buddhism could be thought of as a form of psychotherapy and not a religion. He also explored human consciousness, in the essay “The New Alchemy” (1958), and in the book The Joyous Cosmology (1962).
