The Journey Begins Here
I need an outlet to write. I always needed one. In “good old days” letters to friends surved this purpose. Lovingly hand written letters or letters typed on the computer which took at least one evening to type. One letter I mean. But times have changed. We are ONE Global Community now and hence even lonier. Despite searching for ideal outlet for writing, for many, many years so far, I have found none which would be appealing and easy to use enough. This software, this blogging software which I currently find very confusing, is still my best bet. I tried to create a web site out of it but it keeps forcing me into blogging. I feel I have no choice but obey its commands. Perhaps it is right. What I want is a record, timeline record, of the journey I have currently embarked upon. I guess it was silly of me thinking that I could encapsulate something ever changing into some absolute, timeless form. The journey begins here, there are few milestones vaguely visible in the distance, and many which are not visible at all yet. I can only hope that this software will allow me to be creative as an explorer and accountable witness of the journey would be, not a software programmer who spends most of his time on battling with software which is supposed to set one free, fighting against the means which are supposed to serve and liberate one from the mechanics of producing a record.
I have 2 goals in mind. First is trivial and unimportant: I would like this software to become a front face of my photo galery, which is just a collection of ALL photos. I would like this software to become its published front-end. The second goal is more abmitious one. I want to record the progress of my journey, as any explorer does, so I don’t lose the direction of where I am destined to go, in the occasional fog and mist of time. And of course, my screaming and demanding Ego would be very pleased if others found what I mapped out useful. I am in a big fear that I cannot lose my Ego, but I am still very hopefull that I can make a mutually-friendly pact with It which would benefit us BOTH.
As far as photo galery is concerned, there is one simple rule: evolution. The best pictures will stay, the rest will go. Apart from the historical one’s, of course, because nobody can replace one’s personal memories. Hence a lot of pictures are “linked” to Flickr website, so the wider audience can decide which species should survive and which should become extinct.
As far as Journey Blog is concerned, the main rule is no “name calling”. Those who know, will know, and they know for a reason, I am very humbled that some free souls take interest in my struggle towards the Light and liberation. But I want to make this record to be an objective scientific study, where names are not important, only statistical data is. Hence all names will be fictional just to enforce this point.
If You got that far in your reading and are still interested, subscribing to RSS Feed might be your best bet. I don’t know how to make new links appear here “automatically” and RSS Feed offers one big advantage: You are the Lord who gets delivered ALL news in one place, rather than scanning some websites and forgetting about half of them. RSS feed link is in the menu… the explicit link, for copying and pasting, when You are asked for one, is here:

And that’s all from me now. I wrote 300 more things than intended already. Global Conciousness scares me and excites me. I guess I am just a man. Everything seems to scare me and excite me at the same time. That which does not, does not. Overcoming one’s fears is the exciting part of life, accepting the boring and mundane is even more brave! That’s one of the milestones I can see in the distance. Being exctited about fears we know about already sure is exciting thing, as the things we don’t know yet but know we will know if need be. But being excited about fears we always blocked from our lives is even more invigorating, as it is about things we don’t know we don’t know yet!
