The Awakening Experience J.E #6

Journal #6 5-25-07

Good Afternoon, it’s almost lunch time; So, I’m kind of late with this entry. Actually it’s about two days old. I was supposed to write after this conversation I had with a white guy I met. My bunk mate and I was talking bout the president or something: And I was saying how Govt. was the biggest organized Mafia in the world. The white guy, which also happens to sleep 3 ft away, started dropping some jewels on the subject. He kept my attention for the most part because; He was dead right about what he was saying. He spoke about the powers that be addressing them as the illuminati. That right there really caught my attention. As if that wasn’t’ enough, He asked me have I ever heard of this book called the “Unseen Hand”? I said yes: By the author Ralph Epperson? He Said, you heard of it huh? I then answered: “Not only have I heard of it, I own it: read it twice”. Instantly we started comparing theories & matching wits.
After testing one another for a while; we decided to talk business, politics; then He drifted off on some illegal shit- which inevitably; would turn into criminal plots, and schemes to execute a crime. He went on to tell about his experience in the federal pen; and how some older guy gave him some wise words that didn’t ring true til years later. Though, I can’t quote him at the present time, since I took so long to write this. It was basically on how people come in contact with one another and though you may not know it at the time; that individual may ultimately serve some kind of purpose if you analyze them. He was saying that you can benefit from people in some way or another. I totally agree with that; because in life you meet people from all walks of life that have different backgrounds. The key, is to figure out their strengths and weaknesses in time to see how you can benefit from the relationship; That can range from financially gain to social position. We went on talking for the rest of the night, til lock down. During that time I learned something very valuable. Besides the fact that prison is mostly use as a school for furthering your criminal career; this place can also be use as college- a sanctuary of higher learning. But since most people that enter become bitter, and remorseful, therefore utilizing their time to plot bigger schemes to execute crimes; in order to suffice for the time and money lost during their bid. While most of us here have dreams, and high expectations of some kind; not all of us will seek, them; let alone apply the hard work, sacrifice, and dedication to make them realities. Well, of course that depends upon the nature; since most will put forth more effort in negative, than positive. So, for a man who doesn’t plan on changing or feels as if the world owes him something; prison can make you worst off as a person than you enter as; only motivating you to seek knowledge in the activities needed to further your career as a criminal… Wow! Sad, but so true…
