I find it a heavy burden to think deeply and more abstract in the modern world. Whereas i think it was probably considered a gift during prolonged periods of time during the history of the earth where cultures were focus'd more on expansive consciousness and understanding space and the immaterial.
Maybe he meant they are abstract things that society hands out based on entirely material things these days. Look at the Kardashians. They have those abstract markers of fame and social status based solely on their materialism and nothing else.
The material is the round piece of metal, or the piece of paper. Once we stamp it with a design, we make it money. It's abstract. The value exists in the mind only
it also gives us an idea of how much our society had decayed when we see what things people are willing to place symbolic value on.
I want to find out how to unlock my brain to work with my thoughts and inner workings. I know something IS there. I just CAN'T figure out what it is.
Oh, that isn't so much the issue as how much of a lump of gold is that plate of food valued at? Think about why the plate of food at your local Salvation Army is considered "free" as compared to a plate of food at Kitcho which can run you $600. Food is food ... right?

I spend most of my days trapped deep down in my mind in sort of a day dream. I feel like there is something going on in the back burner of my brain, but I can never see what it is.
I work out insane theories about embodiment and spiritual power but have no idea what any of it means.
I feel like I am trying to dial out but there's no dial tone. I'm hitting replay on an answering machine but cant adjust the volume to hear the message.
