Smiles from the Dead

Producing these daily blogs happens to be a wonderful way to write a letter to a friend. I find and organize the videos, to make a meaningful and fun experience.

It generally takes me about three hours to complete a video blog like this one, and I have a lot of fun doing it.

Most of the videos I review, I never use. They have to have a certain set of qualities, and the length has to be tolerable.

I watch all the videos I post, making sure that they don’t crap out in the middle or become abusive or ugly. Many videos fall by the wayside because there’s something in there that would be insulting to someone.

Of course, if it’s done in the spirit of fun, it makes it into the mix, and that goes for all the comedians I post.

So what did I want to tell you today?

Okay, sometimes it looks like it’s all a pile of crap, and there’s no sense going on.

Wait — what? It took you THAT long to figure this out???

Still, there are plenty of reasons for you to carry on, in spite of the fact that Earth is a singularly unpleasant planet on which to live and work, and nobody cares what happens to you or to the planet.

Plenty of reasons, and one of those reasons is — it’s the only way out.

Think of your lifetime as a sort of person-shaped tunnel, from the point of rebirth to the point of death.

You have no real control, but you do have the option of taking the path of goodness and mercy instead of the path of misery and cruelty.

Most people rely on misery and cruelty just to get along. You don’t have to buy into that misery unless you want to.

You are compelled to follow the path of your organic machine. Don’t think of yourself as teaching the machine anything. It serves as a set of training wheels.

At the end of your life, you should be ready to pass to the next level.

If not, it’s gonna cost ya.

We’re talking effort.

Years ago, we all had to actually travel to Reno and stay at a hotel and eat restaurant food in order to experience a Bardo Reno Run:

Today, we’re lucky to have zoom and other technological inventions to help us recreate the Bardo Reno Run Experience.

You can join the Bardo Runs and run with us. We travel the Bardo in a pack. It’s easy to join, simply log on to our bardo run on zoom. How? Show up on our zoom chats, is how.

I’ll be doing Bardo Runs every day. Your habits will carry you through, but you have to actually HAVE habits, especially habits that will carry you through.

Experience the Bardos in the comfort and safety of your own home.

See You At The Top!!!
