A Random Act of Consciousness

It could have gone south in a hurry, perhaps a holiday visit to the dentist or some time spent in the hoosegow, but instead I found a better way, door number three as I tell my tai chi students, not force against force and not yielding, but a third, creative alternative.

This is not an act of kindness, its a line of people who already have money who are just spending on other people who have money. Also the company benefits of it with a surplus of money. This is every capitalists dream. how about trying to buy coffee for the poor, not somone who just has a car and has money to spend it at a coffee shop.

@Australiano75 Crikey , man. Do you honestly believe that kindness can only be directed to the poor and only received by them too? It would have been great if the guy behind me was indigent, but that's not how it flowed. More, if you watch again, you'll see I was after consciousness, not kindness. Sort of the whole point of the thing.

But they're just paying for their own drink...

@Australiano75 you obviously didnt watch the end of this video....the guy was getting honked at and dissed for simply being infront of some douchebag who was probably late for work. so he bought him a coffee. he didnt buy the fucking coffee to have the affect that it had......get a life you fucking uptight son of a bitch. wow. your idiocy makes me not even want to be kind here, even after that inspiration. itsl ike if u cant see the truth in this, you fail at life.

thats responding to the networks use of the material, obviously not the action in question.

i love how they used little interview clips from the randoms and l the talked about was the holiday spirit. could they not have tried to encourage it and not chalk it up to a seasonal restricted idea? why bound it with such a limitation? imho

[Australiano75]

@machobuddha No I didn't say that, you have misinturpted my words and won't watc video again just because you didn't understand what I was saying. I was saying its every capitalists dream, and it making more money for the person who is serving them, check out the formula. the Supplus goes towards the company. Now if you could take that idea and just walk up to some random guy in the street and help him out, then i'd undestand it as "random act of kindness". :)

The action simple, the message, the message is huge, this message is gigantic.

We created money. Consciousness is the programming language of the Universe. We are conscious conductors..that's what we do, that's who we are. Consciousness comes through us and emanates from us. This was a change in consciousness made by one of its conductors. That's how powerful we are.
