The Drift – A Dose of Reality | Cup of Joe Leonard
Posted by Leonard WilliamsJan 10

Have you ever notice that your life turned out exactly like you thought it would. Not how you hoped it would, but how you thought it would. That’s because of a phenomenon in the “Being” of being human called the “Drift”.
That Drift usually takes the form of what ever cultural conversation you were born into. The implications of this are really very fascinating, and a very long conversation.
This next part should really bake your noodle. ![]()
It isn’t even your life anyway, it’s “Its” life and the “You” that you really are is not required for the living of “Its” life. If you are resisting the domination of the possibility that this brings up, stay with me for a minute.
Consider the possibility that the “You” that you really “are”, shares existence in the realm of the relative with an entity we shall call “It”. Also consider the possibility that, “It” actually lives the life that “You” think you have.
Saying the same thing in another way: Consider that the “I” in the phase “I” think, “I” want, “I” like, “I” breathe, and “I” feel is not really “You” and is really a deep superstition you have (and this superstition is capable of living life completely without you). Also consider that this superstition is so deep that you don’t think “It” is not you, you are, that it is you.
“It” wakes you up in the morning. ”It” brushes your teeth. “It” has kids that it fixes breakfast for. “It” (maybe) has a significant other that it snuggles up to at night. “It” drives to work. “It” has friends. “It” has Your life!
Lets get this notion about the “I” that you are for yourself handled once and for all. If ”You” are the “I” that is referenced in the phrase I think, I breath, I feel then “You” stop thinking, “You” stop breathing, “You” stop feeling. When you find that you can’t, you might want to re-consider the possibility that “It” is not “You” anyway.
If you can “Be” with the “bucket of cold water” that, this fact is (in a way that doesn’t dis-empower you) a space of possibility for a future that didn’t exist (for the “You” that you really are) before then, will begin to open up, inside of which, “You” can play with the question “What do YOU want?”.
Here’s the dose of reality I promised in the beginning: “It” really does have everything else in life handled, freeing the “You” that you really are, to do what ever “You” really want to do in life.
Cup O Joe. ![]()

With your theory of it the abilities of the human being would not exist. First there would be no such thing as Freewill therefore, as a human being you would have no reason to be on this earth. Without freewill you would be at the mrecy of the elements seen and unseen. More important you would not have a state of being mental or physical and as a result of the lack of a state of being no purpose can be served related to anything you do, would do or have done. Self-worth or the the lack of would reduce you (the being) to nothing, wanting nothing, caring about nothing, and the results of your actions (like many today) and how they effect others that do not hold your beliefs would meen nothing. sounds like the world we live in today!. Until something better comes along life is all we have. As people we can not afford to live in the mind alone, without stimulation from our environment and the elements around us, be they bad or good. Any concept beyound that serves only to tickle the mind for a brief time after which we come to our senses and one must reture to work each day making every effort to maintain a balance in ourself and the world we live in.
