If you are a person of any religious beliefs that demand that you try to convert people to your beliefs this may be a lot harder to do. <br /><br /> Virtually any time we open our mouths the words we say are being recorded, and critiqued by ready, judgmental ears. You wanna lose a job. Speak your mind. You wanna ruin your marriage. Speak frankly. Don't hold back and you will know what I mean. just stop the illusions. Learning to carry some of the skills we already have into all areas socially is to be the Grey man. There is never really any outlet of expression for the Grey man.<br /><br />There is really no one you can convert or change to your thinking except maybe a child. So give up on the rest. If you are religious just pray that God will make opportunities for the adults to be helped, because 99% of the time they are already set in their ideas.<br /><br />People are really anxious to pick your brain. They are nosy. It is human nature. The Gray man knowing the truth of that nature makes him powerful enough to resist his own nature.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2469109905542911409.post-85668823003786121292009-09-15T16:29:31.743+01:002009-09-15T16:29:31.743+01:00This is similar to one of my rules of survival; Av...This is similar to one of my rules of survival; Avoid Exposure<br /><br />*Guard your image - Dress and groom yourself in the same manner as is generally acceptable among people of similar age, income, and gender in your area. In other words, don't stand out.<br /><br />*Guard your words - Don't talk openly about anything that everyone else doesn't also talk about, and if drawn into a conversation that could be considered "controversial", shrug and offer a vague, noncommittal opinion.<br /><br />*Guard your actions - Use innocuous activities to cover your real actions. For example, if you're going to the range, be seen loading up fishing gear and wear your fishing clothes, and make sure you have a fishing license, or dress and equip yourself for golf, but in either case, make sure you can talk the talk if the neighbors get nosy, as they always do.<br /><br />*Guard your associations - Don't be seen with "suspicious" types of people. For example, if your friends come over, make sure they don't dress like Rambo and don't have militant bumperstickers on their vehicles, etc. If someone can't fit in with the neighbors, they shouldn't come over, unless they can be passed off as a repairman or such.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2469109905542911409.post-60805031841181018822009-01-23T06:52:00.000+00:002009-01-23T06:52:00.000+00:00This is pretty much exactly what I've tried to say...This is pretty much exactly what I've tried to say before to people in lesser terms.
