List Your Impotent Fantasies of Total Power Here

e.g., the Lottery: Like pornography, but with cash.
We meet at the borders of our being, we dream something of each others reality. - Harvey of R.I.

To Justice my maker from on high did incline:
I am by virtue of its might divine,
The highest Wisdom and the first Love.

Getting off the grid. Retiring to my solar and wind and biodiesel powered abode, surrounded by beautiful scenery and a nearly endless organic garden. With all the contraptions that I've designed in my head but will probably never actually make.

The Art of Neville Goddard:

Before you go to sleep imagine how you would feel if your dream were already realised.

Enjoy the feeling. Luxuriate in it. Feel you deserve it. Imagine the scene around you of your dream house.

Do it every day.

Make of it a habit.

Neville was a true intuitive adept.

And a dancer.

But my Art is not the Art of Neville.

I don't know whether either would work for you.

My psychiatrist recommended Neville to me.

Life really is a hoot.

Lottery: If it's less than $28 million, several of the planned projects will have to be sacrificed. (RI is included as a grant recipient, by the way. And there may be jobs for several of you! So pray, you bastards!)

Superman: Difficult to choose among the many options available. Do I cause a mysterious "exploding head syndrome" among bankers? Do I bring all the nukes into outer space? Do I present myself as God and give new commandments to live at peace and love your neighbor, or else?

God: All military brass and potentates wake up one morning with their height adjusted in inverse proportion to rank. Banksters, dictators and generals are now midgets. Volunteer enlisted men lose an inch, just enough to help them figure it out.

Spontaneous planetary awakening in the awareness of Gaia with reverence for free consciousness: Yeah, right.

Too much money just invites trouble.

Give me certain specific superpowers. I'd make the generals and the CEOs and the covert operatives come to Jesus, so to speak.

If it's just money, I would plow it into a three-story library from which I would rarely emerge. Yes, I'm blueprint-ready!

More expansively, I go the full Buckaroo Banzai (or maybe Philip Seymour Hoffman in The Master): Prime Minister/Hockey All-Star/Director/Author/Actor/Musician - "but above all, I am a man. A hopelessly inquisitive man, just like you."

Well you see, the thing is;

My fantasy has always been to be the Greatest Guru Who Ever Lived.

Then I realised.

I already am the Greatest Guru Who Ever Lived.

Also the most Ridiculous.

Also the funniest!

Don't eff with the ineffable.

Wow.

What a feeling to luxuriate in.

Actually, it ain't all a bed a roses.

Every Rose has its thorn.

Not to mention a worm.

But this;

Lottery: If it's less than $28 million, several of the planned projects will have to be sacrificed. (RI is included as a grant recipient, by the way. And there may be jobs for several of you! So pray, you bastards!)


I'm prayin' already!

And this;

Spontaneous planetary awakening in the awareness of Gaia with reverence for free consciousness(.)


Already happened.

Don't you know the Pendragon?

Ha. Right now I'm fantasizing about trading in my troublesome body for a new one. I'm starting to envy the young. I'm beginning to wish I could zap myself into a good looking young man and do it all over again. What was that movie? The one with Meg Ryan where her body gets taken over by an old man? Well that's me except I wouldn't want to be a woman. Rock star maybe. You know.

As far as an avenging superhero, sure, I've been having those fantasies for years now, getting rid of the bad guys. Oh, there are so many ways one could get rid of them. So many ways ......

Sunny's right -- too much money is just a shit magnet (like guns).

I don't have any impotent fantasies of total power. Never even crossed my mind. Of course, I have a lot of anger towards those who do control the levers of power, and I'd certainly like to see them tried for war crimes, and crimes against humanity -- and then put on display in maximum security prisons (not executed).

But on a personal level, I'd like to see community in my life -- real community -- before I leave this mortal coil. The ties that bind me to my current circumstances aren't bad at all -- I'm actually rather happy and content, living like a king as a middle-classer, in terms of creature comforts and with plenty of personal power. But a small (100-150) group of people willing to work and live together in a more sustainable, earth-friendly manner would be my ideal, although I wonder what kinds of difficulties I'd encounter adjusting to that, given how many years I've been coddled by "independence."

I have no Leash. I have no Master.
Ever do I run the Faster.

In truth, my beloved, I answer too quickly. Still I meditate upon the meaning of His Majesty's Dog. Love and kisses to you.

Oh, I don't know, my fantasies can be pretty powerful.

If I had money, I'd fund many things, but I'd probably invest in some good body guards and a security system first, then perhaps a team of investigators. Then I'd fund therapy for all program survivors who can't afford it and set-up a treatment training and consultation program with an expert I know. I'd fund research projects, and a documentary or two or three, including Nick's. I'd secretly fund all sorts of activist and art groups.

I would make all the art projects that I cannot afford to now and hire people to do everything I haven't been able to do with my own ideas.

I'd take myself and a group of dear friends to Paris for my next birthday.

I would buy one really expensive pair of shoes.

..................

Money or no, I'd be happy if I felt I had the power to fully be safe and free from the bad people.

This is less an impotent fantasy of total power than a recurring and intrusive thought that I've been having for years, although admittedly, to realize it would require the power to raise the dead, turn back time, and master teleportation across space-time: I would like to have every person I have ever known, even in the slightest, even persons I had merely made meaningful eye contact with, all lined up in a greeting queue on the way into a party so that I might speak with them, or look at them, or thank them, or remember them better, and puzzle out where and how they fit into life as I've known it and all their respective influences, cross-pollenations, and overlaps.

I think I want them lined up from the tallest to the shortest, so it's more neat and organised-like.

Other than that I'd like to be lucky. Really lucky. If you're lucky enough, you can do anything and have anything you want, but it seems like it just happened without trying.
