For the last 3-4 weeks, I have been
focused primarily on finding a new job. Basically, I have decided to
be out of my home sweet home comport zone no later than some-time in
August. Why? Because it's time to get out of my comfort zone, do new
things and relate to new people. This is where I'm heading, to meet
new people and participate in new activities and relationships.
As is often the case, I really don't'
know where I'll end up, I'm not even sure I care where I go as long
as there is opportunity to see and understand something new, points
within/as me that I haven't yet physically walked through and tested
out. I'd like to stay Taiwan, perhaps teach at a local university,
elementary or high school. I'm also considering China and some other
places.
Each time I do this – get up and move
out of my house out of my zone for a year or two – it does become a
little easier; I guess because in recognizing the mental energies
associated with such moves, I am now able to direct them so to not be
moved by them. In other words, I realize that in reality, it's a
simply matter of walking each step – one by one – through the
mazes of the system. Nevertheless, even though I would say I'm an
expert at navigating through systems such as government, education,
law, etc., it never really gets easier as one might think it probably
should. Perhaps this is because the system keeps on upgrading, and
perhaps this is why so many around the world are now more and more
finding themselves left out. It's like the world system is under
attack and it's going into survival mode, protecting the royalty and
locking locking the peasants out.
Yes, I would definitely say that all
the red tape that I have once again stepped into is a waste;
unfortunately, there doesn't seem to be an “easier” way around
it. So, I will pay the hundreds of dollars that it's going to cost
just just to have a set of transcripts and a degree verified by the
Taiwan embassy or Representative Trade office – depending on where
one sits.
And then I walk over to the sink, turn
the knob and watch as clean drinking water comes out. I wonder to
myself; what about all those who don't even have a sink or a
refrigerator with food to eat? What about those who can't afford an
education-pass into the system of money; how do they survive? Herein,
I once again commit myself to – regardless of where I work or where
I teach – continue to walk though this system, changing it/me in/as
the places I stand until all are standing in equality.
