“We are our choices.”
― JEAN-PAUL SARTRE


QUOTES FROM JOB:
No ..no..not JOBS-as in Steve the computer mogul-
but yes, someone who spoke his mind-
yet was a little more able to kvetch...


''Therefore I will not refrain my mouth; I will speak in the anguish of my spirit; I will complain in the bitterness of my soul.''
JOB 7: 11
'

''For he attacks me with a storm and repeatedly wounds me without cause.''
JOB: 9: 17

All was well with me, but he shattered me; he seized me by the neck and crushed me. He has made me his target;
JOB 16:12


''Again and again he bursts upon me; he rushes at me like a warrior.''
JOB 16:14


AND SO IT WAS WITH ME-WITH MY LIFE- FOR A VERY VERY LONG TIME
..and it so it continues...


"Heaven Knows I'm Miserable Now"

I was happy in the haze of a drunken hour
but heaven knows I'm miserable now
I was looking for a job, and then I found a job
and heaven knows I'm miserable now

In my life
why do I give valuable time
to people who don't care if I live or die

Two lovers entwined pass me by
and heaven knows I'm miserable now

I was looking for a job, and then I found a job
and heaven knows I'm miserable now

In my life
why do I give valuable time
to people who don't care if I live or die

What she asked of me at the end of the day
Caligula would have blushed
"You've been the house too long" she said
and I naturally fled

In my life
why do I smile
at people who I'd much rather kick in the eye

I was happy in the haze of a drunken hour
but heaven knows I'm miserable now
"You've been the house too long" she said
and I naturally fled

In my life
why do I give valuable time
to people who don't care if I live or die....

''What we have done, the result of that comes to us whenever it comes, whither today, tomorrow, hundreds years later, hundred lives later, whatever, whatever.
And so, it'S OUR OWN KARMA.
That is why that philosophy in every religion. ''

Maharishi Mahesh Yogi
''Instant Karma"

Instant Karma's gonna get you
Gonna knock you right on the head
You better get yourself together
Pretty soon you're gonna be dead
What in the world you thinking of
Laughing in the face of love
What on earth you tryin' to do
It's up to you, yeah you

Instant Karma's gonna get you
Gonna look you right in the face
Better get yourself together darlin'
Join the human race
How in the world you gonna see
Laughin' at fools like me
Who in the hell d'you think you are
A super star
Well, right you are

Well we all shine on
Like the moon and the stars and the sun
Well we all shine on
Ev'ryone come on

Instant Karma's gonna get you
Gonna knock you off your feet
Better recognize your brothers
Ev'ryone you meet
Why in the world are we here
Surely not to live in pain and fear
Why on earth are you there
When you're ev'rywhere
Come and get your share

Well we all shine on
Like the moon and the stars and the sun
Yeah we all shine on
Come on and on and on on on
Yeah yeah, alright, uh huh, ah

Well we all shine on
Like the moon and the stars and the sun
Yeah we all shine on
On and on and on on and on

Well we all shine on
Like the moon and the stars and the sun
Well we all shine on
Like the moon and the stars and the sun
Well we all shine on
Like the moon and the stars and the sun
Yeah we all shine on
Like the moon and the stars and the sun



JOHN LENNON





Karma
"
The Sanskrit word “karma” basically means “to do or act.”  In most basic terms, the law of karma states that one reaps what one sows.  The law of karma implies that every thought or deed, whether they are good or bad, will count in determining how an individual will be born in their next life on earth.  So an individual with bad karma could be born many different times into lower castes of humans or even into lower forms of animals.  In Hinduism, the person cannot be released until they are reborn into the Brahmin or priestly caste.  So this is how karma and reincarnation are intertwined.  So in reality individuals are in control of their salvation, which is their release from the cycle of birth and rebirth."
Karma and Sin
by Jeremy Butler



'I am good, but not an angel,
I do sin, but am not the devil.
I am just a small girl in a big world....''
Marilyn Monroe


THERE HAVE BEEN MANY TIMES IN MY LIFE WHERE I WONDER: WHAT HAVE I DONE TO DESERVE THIS ?
THEN, I WENT THROUGH A PERIOD SO WROUGHT WITH MULTIPLE LIFE ALTERING TRAGEDIES, CHALLENGES, and LOSES
I COULD ONLY LIKEN IT TO JOB BEING TESTED AND QUESTION MY KARMIC BALANCE.   
IN THIS LIFE I HAD BEEN FAR FROM PERFECT, BUT WHAT HAPPENED TO ME  WAS ON SUCH AN  SPECTACULARLY EPICALLY SOUL CRUSHING SCALE THAT I COULD ONLY BE PAYING THE PRICE OF HORRENDOUS FORMER SINS.


'Am I being paid back for something I did? he asked himself. Something I don't know about or remember? But nobody pays back, he reflected. I learned that a long time ago: you're not paid back for the bad you do nor the good you do. It all comes out uneven at the end. Haven't I learned that by now, if I've learned anything?”

Philip K. Dick, Flow My Tears, the Policeman Said




"LIKE ALL DREAMERS, I MISTOOK
DISENCHANTMENT FOR TRUTH."
SATRE


IN PAIN,SHOCK,(PERCEIVED) GUILT
,  IN A DESPERATE ATTEMPT TO RIGHT SOME INTANGIBLE | INVISIBLE WRONG-
I SACRIFICED THAT WHICH I LOVED THE MOST, (not my firstborn, but my first love) ART.

I STRUGGLED FOR SURVIVAL,
I WORKED ENDLESSLY, AND WAS ALWAYS TIRED FROM DOING MUCH TOO MUCH- AND YET- NOTHING.... THAT WAS OUTWARDLY
CREATIVE....this was my sacrifice to those that I had lost, so would I atone, with my self-imposed penitence of art apathy....

“Even extreme grief may ultimately vent itself in violence--but more generally takes the form of apathy”
JEAN-PAUL SARTRE


DOES KARMA MEAN THAT WE PAY FOR OUR WRONG BEHAVIOUR?
IS KARMA INSTANT / IMMEDIATE OR
ACCRUED? 
IF PUNISHMENT FOR BAD BEHAVIOUR WAS INSTANT THEN WHAT WAS MY CRIME?




The Ten Commandments
3"You shall have no other gods before Me. 4"You shall not make for yourself an idol, or any likeness of what is in heaven above or on the earth beneath or in the water under the earth.....etc.etc.
 A quote from ....umm  GOD?


I AM NOT A BELIEVER BUT...
IF THIS INFLUX OF TRIALS AND PROFUSION OF TRIBULATIONS WAS A FORM OF RETRIBUTION, THEN MY GREATEST SIN WAS IN THE MAKING OF IMAGES, THE FOLLOWING AND SERVING OF MY MUSE AND THE CONSEQUENTIAL WORSHIPPING AT THE ALTAR OF MY RELIGION..................................ART.
