Twallk 2 - Almost There

* * * * * * *Twallk In* * * * * * *

I'd like to briefly post what is happening with my situation, in an attempt to even further clarify why I'm doing what I'm doing.  I have been writing business plans as a means of employment for myself and the people involved with a coming investment company.  The first plan was for a small lounge.  This would have already been open and running at this point, had my partner not backed out, leaving me unpaid for a large amount for the completed plan that I'd written.  It was THIS unfortunate event that sealed my fate in April, causing me to have to leave my apartment.  But that is the nature of entrepreneurialism... And risk-takers from sea to shining sea have all been there at some point.  I myself have been there (let down by a business partner) TOO MANY times. The experience never lessens the disappointment.  But, it does forge my resolve like a piece of red steel; folded and pounded again and again upon the anvil of experience.  I HAVE done my time.  Now I am working on a new plan for a much more realistic venture.  Again, unfortunately, that is dragging for lack of a computer that I can use all day.  If my laptop had not died last week I would be nearly done with it.  People who have written me, thinking I'm just milling around, wandering aimlessly and unwilling to "work," need to understand what I've written above.  In the end my efforts will be seen for what they're worth.  I appreciate advice (even un-asked-for), but I am not kindly disposed to uninformed presumption.  And I have noticed that arrogance of that kind usually comes from folks who are SPIRITUALLY insecure.

So that more of us are on the same page from now on, let me run down the plan...  In September I hope to be renting a room in Buxton.  This will allow me to walk to Gorham and take the college bus into Portland.  Also, FINALLY, if this works out, I will have my two cats back again.  That alone will pull an enormous psychological weight off my back.  By mid-September I hope to open our new establishment in Portland (or close-by).  I will give more info on this once the plan is complete.  I have a new and wonderful partner and the idea is a great one, filling a need in Portland that has not been met.  I also will be getting more into recording, mastering and producing some music for a few friends and myself.  The Odyssey part of this year is coming to a close.  And a new chapter is going to begin.  But this blog will continue on even after I settle.  I plan to keep walking and reporting about the world out there, and the world in here.  I can say that this has all been a real eye-opener.  I've met a lot of great people, seen a lot of things and had experiences that I could not have had otherwise.  But I AM ready to settle back down again. 

This all has prepared me for next year when I plan to make a pilgrimage west to California for whatever it is that is going to happen in December.  It has been a good training and I have learned much about my fellow men and women.  I have learned that people ARE good.  I have also learned that there is a nearly impassable barrier that separates the open-minded from the closed-minded.  Those who prejudge - hold impossible expectations for others--while not seeing their own faults, are lost in the world of thing-worship, buy in (literally) to the conventional philosophies of a cultural the social leadership of inferior people we have elected as "gods" over us, and are too prideful to accept that without a profound change in their own minds they will suffer a shock that the rest of us will see as pitiful - will find no rationality about a planetary fate that is about to unfold before their astonished eyes.  They still have a chance to turn around--but they won't.  There will be no "end of the world," but those who have avoided the signs of the times may wish that there would be.  To the more enlightened, what is about to occur will simply be the most beautiful time in human history.  It will begin an age that lifts us out of our self-imposed darkness and transfers the Spirit of Truth like electricity across the planet.  This is my understanding thus far, and I know where-of I speak.  There are still a few posts left to go here, as..........Iwallk.
