Come find them with Neothink!

We are all individuals traveling down a path that is our lives.  Along the way we experience many different things which shape and impact our thoughts, emotions, and attitudes.  We can’t help but be shaped by our experiences, its who and what we know and are.  I’m 29 years old and have been exposed to the Neothink philosophphy and members for less than two years.  Thankfully it has been the most profound experience of my life to date.                                                                          As I was growing up, I tended to breeze through a majority of challenges placed in front of your average young student.  Top of the class for years when it came to grades, tests, popularity, future potential, etc.  A very steady course with a promising future.  Eventually, I became quite bored with the monotonous routine in the public school system.  At that age, I was positive I knew it all, and all the tests indicated the same.                                                                                                 Seeking new experiences, searching for more, I started to experiment with drugs and alcohol.  A progression of use began, as is most common, especially with younger users, and I reached the point of spending the last amount of savings I had to pay for my own supply by starting to deal marijuana.  It wasn’t much longer and I thought I had found my calling in life. I was generating enough income to support myself, my habit, and anything else I really wanted.  I stopped attending school all together and barely had enough credits to graduate.  In fact I even needed parental coaxing to go and accept my diploma, it was the least of my concerns.                                As usually happens, in my endeavors in the black market I encountered some untrustworthy individuals and wound up facing eleven years in state prison.  I felt fortunate, at the age of twenty, to only receive five years in prison with some probation time following that.  I could accept the fact that my choices and actions were responsible for that consequence.  I set out with a positive attitude and was able to get through the sentence without any serious trouble.  I was unable to receive a parole grant and wound up serving just over forty months, the most the law would allow at the time.  I came out in good health and well read and more aware of my life as a whole after a lifestyle like that for that period of time.                                                                                 For the first time in my life, I was working without an illicit source of income.  Building my life back, and working through the rest of my parole and probation I was cautious careful to make the choices to remain in society.  The experience of forty months in prison is not one soon forgotten.                                                                                                                                               Time progressed and I found myself sought out by some of my old acquaintances.  I was literally handed an opportunity to make some extra money with no strings attached.  Unfulfilled with the provisions of steady employment, I took the opportunity and was off again in the middle of the trade of marijuana.  For awhile I was trading more money and pot than I ever had in the past.  Frequently, I wound up at the end of the night sitting away in some tavern drinking at an extremely unhealthy pace.  My tolerance got so used to the alcohol, I wound up drinking more and more.  With enough extra money, I never had to worry about a bar tab, or coming up short at the end of the night.  And there was always a friend in the bar encouraging me to buy that next round for the both of us.  It always seemed like the best thing to do.  My body began to soften and puff out as it acclimated to the chemical regimen I kept feeding it.                                                                      One day, an opportunity for some literature and to join an “elite group” of people was delivered in the mail.  I let the envelope lay for about a week before picking it back up and mailing the forms and payment back in.  A week or so later and my first piece of literature from the Neothink society was delivered to my front door.  I began to read again for the first time in years and the concepts have not stopped growing or expanding for me and my life to this very day.  Within three months, I stopped using tobacco.  I know some wouldn’t consider this a serious problem, but it was a habit of growing use that i had carried with me since my high school years.  No fight, no worries, it wasn’t a hassle to stop using it completely and I haven’t returned.  It was just the beginning of the redirection of my life.                                                                            I’ve been pretty cynical my whole life.  I believe it was Oscar Wilde who wrote, “A cynic is someone who knows the price of everything and the value of nothing.”  Neothink has changed that for me, showing me the value of myself, my life, and our entire existence as a whole.  As I continued to read the literature, my outlook was constantly expanding, improving, getting a clearer vision of a more complete life.  After about a year within the society, I was offered the opportunity to come together and meet with some of the other members in my region.  After meetimg these like minded people, I was put even more at ease with the direction i was moving my life in.  People with the same respect and values and the determination to help bring a positive and much needed change in our society.  A group with a real sense of belonging.                                                              Since I’ve been involved with Neothink, I’ve discontinued so many destructive personal activities.  I’ve stopped smoking tobacco and marijuana.  I’ve stopped frequenting taverns and drinking altogether.  I’ve changed my diet to include only the healthiest choices in regards to the food I eat.  In turn, Ive lost almost twenty five pounds and returned to a much healthier state of existence.  Diet, exercise, an overall greater appreciation of my life, the lives of others, and moreover, a glimpse at just how great we can make our world have taken a priority in my life with Neothink.  I can’t think of anything negative about Neothink; love, peace, equality, what could be more beautiful or needed in this world?                                                                                                Life used to be boring, frustrating, depressing and self destructive.  Keep in mind, I had financial security including a consistent full time job.  I had enough social contacts to go and do something with different people every night of the week.  Something was still missing.  Now my life is more fulfilling, invigorating, and uplifting in general.                                                                 No matter what slandering is attempted at Neothink, I know from personal experience my life is constantly improving, I’m constantly feeling better. as I stated in the onset, this has been the most profound experience of my life, and I only wish I possessed a larger vocabulary to praise them even more.  Don’t you want brighter futures and better tomorrows?
