life can be a struggle.

the forces of nature compete against each other.

stronger overcomes the weaker.  

forces clash,  transform,  and change.  

endless consumption.  

constant movement.  

flow.  

a flood.  

boiling cauldron of life.

what's behind all this?

where are we going and why?

we're evolving.

we're becoming something different,  

and even this is a competition against ourselves,  

against what we were,  

and into what we want to be.

there's no end.

eye find myself now in pennsylvania.

bustling beehive.

streets and cars.  

cities and towns.

the east coast of the united states is one of the most populated places on earth.  

from space it looks like a giant computer,  

super glowing grid,  

and eye'm just the tiniest little piece.  

microscopic spot,  

speck.

eye wonder why eye take myself so seriously.

why do any of us take ourselves seriously.

speck.

welcome to the jungle.

in this jungle,  can you seen in the dark?

who will protect you?  

the government?  

big business?  

your own senses?  

stay awake.  pay attention.  

this is the only game in town,  and there's lots of players.  

some will help you,  some will ignore you,  and some,

will try to destroy you.

read the labels on everything you eat.

buy from local farmers,  or better yet,  grow your own food.  

only drink filtered water,  preferably distilled.  

exercise regularly.  

minimize the chemicals entering your body.  

go organic.  

this does not mean dropping out of the rat race,  this means win the race.  

learn everything you can within two areas,  low and high technology.  

during extreme times,  understanding the extremes is very important.  

connect and share information with others.  

although life is a competition,  

we will only make it through this together.

think for yourself. think critically.  ask questions.  

find the truth for yourself.  

eliminate unnecessary clutter.  

simplify,  while mastering complexity.  

reflect.  

meditate.

this is it,  the only life you and eye have in this form.

what shall we do with it?  what do we want to do with it?  

what are our wildest dreams?  are we living them?  

is anything stopping us?

don't be afraid to stand on your own.  

there's lots of misinformation everywhere.  

people are exploited.  

if a path makes sense to you,  follow it.

you may find yourself alone at times,  but if you keep at it,  

support will come.

the date today is 2007.08.11.

the music is by l'onomatopeur,  

an album called always beating,  

found on jamendo.com.
