The social mindset, which is present in the mass but not necessarily the individual, is to build a fortress around your world, or rather to conceive a bubble in which houses your perception of reality and how the world works in its entirety. This fortress or bubble is to keep out any idea or things that are new or hard to understand out, while allowing that which is understood or commonplace in. This is a poisonous way of thinking and honestly hurts not only you and others around you, while keeping your ideals limited and narrow.

One cannot simply enter and exit this world tucked in a bubble and this will lead to a lonely life within their walls. I for one, long ago, tore down my walls, or more accurately, extended my bubble indefinably to encompass all ways of looking at the universe, and all the ways all living, spiritual, and universal beings interact with one another. With each passing day my mind opens further by leaps and bounds. This allows me to love and hate all things equally. This way of thinking is to the degree of not a circle, but that of a sphere. To think this way you can see what is behind the obvious and beyond face value.

Spirituality really defines what I believe. But to put more of a title on it, I am a Buddhistic Taoist. Buddhism is more on the foundation that one must improve one's own internal self, one's own spirituality to improve their universe and how it moves around you. While Taoism is more fundamentally based around the universe around you moves and gears towards improving your own spirituality. But unlike the path that lead to the death of the Taoist belief in the past, I follow the actual ideal of the belief that the universe will move to make your life and spirituality better, its not automatic nor given, you must respect the universe, work to perceive and understand how the chakra, or chi, of the universe moves. This is done through internal and externally minded meditation, and achieves further open mindedness...for a lack of a better term...wisdom of how the universe lives and breaths.

This, I believe, has given me more peace then I could have achieved without these thoughts or mind sets.

If you read all of this, I thank you. You have learned more about who I am as a person, and hopefully I have made you think about your own bubble, maybe allow you to have a peak over your walls.

From the heart of your Fedorian...
