Become totally empty,
Quiet the restlessness of the mind;
Only then will you witness everything unfolding from emptiness.
-- Dao De Jing, 16

i was dreaming of the past

 and my heart was beating fast...

i'm torn in so many ways about what i should do with my life.

I was born just in time to watch the country fall apart from the inside. It's fascinating but really scary... because it's not just in a book.

I'm caught in a tailspin, unable to work my way out of poverty. I'd like to make more money but I haven't found anything yet.

But at that, what happens when the currency system collapses?

Do I worry too much, at the expense of action?

America is dead, but this is no surprise. Being a state, it was doomed from its inception. We just happen to be living now in the unfortunate time of collapse. Unfortunate in the sense that survival will be difficult. The general public will, at some point in the near future, realize (or admit to themselves) that our entire economic system is indistinguishable from a Ponzi scheme. And then it will all be over.

I had a dream where I wanted to show my grandfather my skills at sharpening knives. But when I pulled my whetstone out of my bag, it was shattered into pieces.

I want to go back into the land and farm for my living, even if making a living simply means feeding myself. I want to be a hemp farmer. I want to learn about carpentry. I want to learn to hunt with a bow and craft fine bows and knives. I want to learn math and physics and create a generator run by magnets, and then I want to send out the plans on the internet so that anyone can replicate my device. I want the internet to be as free and available and natural as the air we breathe, with no one in charge and no one to charge. I want a cow and a horse and a donkey and some chickens. I want to cook fabulous meals everynight for/with my friends and family.

There is some vision. How does one bridge the gap.
