the art of doing nothing

there are so many things that i learned in school, and twice as many living my life. for lack of interest in writing something "commercially viable" material. i will go directly to the point... i want to say that learning the craft, or the "art of doing nothing" is not an easy process. it requires vigorous training, perseverance and the firm dedication to the purpose of doing nothing. at times, when your soul grows weary and loses the "vision" of the very case of doing nothing, you should pause for awhile.. stop whatever (you are not doing) lol, and then remind yourself that you are to do nothing. this isnt like yoga, where you meditate, on either walking on a beach and seeing that light from the sky, and i am not referring to the meditation of the emerald green ball also. Although they both have similar outcome (e.g. sleepiness or feeling relaxed) the art of doing nothing simply is a little to hard. try doing nothing, thats cool.. that's easy. try thinking nothing.. its a bit harder.. a different level so to say. (and whle you're at it, try breathing nothing.. lol., and if u are in some sort of ultimate zen and u consider yourself a master already, try controlling your blood.. make it slowly and slowly and slowly halt from moving. and then go back to ur brain, and not command it to command your blood, then there u will have it are already perfecting the art of doing nothing.

i have read this technicque from an ancient writing somewhere in the mountains. i dont know how i got there (but somehow i did) but i came across a congregation of 15-20 people saying they are perfecting the art of doing nothing. and guess what,no one spoke to me, they just wrote it in the walls of their church, saying "we are currently doing nothing".
but it was written in Aramaic so i had to have it translated when i came down to the city.

while i was there, no one talked to me, though their eyes were wide open (i later found out that closing ur eyes is already doing something, for scientific reasons, the iris is more at rest opened than being closed)

anyway yeah. it was all blank stares everywhere.

thank goodness the people werent practicing the art of doing nothing all afternoon. around 4pm (8 days after..) they stopped.. and said... they needed to do anything. just a little something, before they will be given the rank called "Utterly Useless Individual" one who does the art for more than a 9days... anyway, i have to do more research before i can expound on that ranking. ..

aaaah.. wait... im in a block. lol i will continue this writing soon..

pero if you think about it, you can't not do nothing because in your attempt to do nothing you are already doing something (your attempt to do nothing)... hehehe nagpinilosopo lang po...

hmm. this constitutes more research on my part then.

lol

so like if i get billions of dollars i'd setup a foundation specifically for the research of this stupid ass theory.

hahhaha
