My philosophy about the world in general

In this paper I will write about the state of the world. I will start with problems on a personal level, then tell of the state of the world as I see it, including the root causes, and end with my solutions. I will start with education, because that is where everything starts, then I will expand to our society in general, and end with our individual responsibilities.

What is education? Programming people what to think, or showing them how to think? In the end all education is, is learning about the world and the way it works, so individuals can contribute positively to the world. But Education is changing, it is no longer teaching people to blindly follow orders, but teaching them to think creatively. In dictatorial societies controlling people arises and reaps havoc like in Nazi Germany and North Korea, our society is advanced enough now for people to be innately aware of the need for honesty and equality without the need for control. The only to way to grow now is to build on God given honesty study what is right for yourself.

This revelation of freedom of thought was learned from our history of inequality that exploded after desegregation and the hippie free love and psychedelic movement that was provoked by our government overstepping their bounds in force and violence. But many people, like many of my teachers, who grew up in these times and caught the groove, forgot what freedom is all about and reverted to control and the suppression of individual creativity.

My teachers always gave me bad grades because of my failure to mindlessly spit back the meaningless information they gave me. I wasn't able to participate in their way because I would literally pass out from boredom. It was meaningless because I wasn't allowed to interpret anything for myself. And to add insult to injury, they would give me bad grades. Instead of placing my grade based on my attendance and interpretive skills, they gave me D's and C's from a purely subjective points of view. For example, In one class I did the Bibliography from the Turabian book instead of the teachers personal way, so I got a D for the paper and a D for the class.

Students should feel free to follow their hearts more than the guidelines of their teachers outdated ways, otherwise they will bore and stop trying. An English teacher once told me I was schizophrenic because I wrote about a mushroom trip. I can understand lying to cops, but what good does it do to suppress information from your teachers? If students show up every day and do all their homework assignments they deserve a good grade because they do what they are asked.

Grades in general are useless, where did they come from? To make the college application process easier? It should be no wonder students don't like teachers when they try to dictate what they should be interested in as if they don't know themselves, and then judge them. And people wonder why kids are so ambivalent by the time high school comes around. Respect for authority comes when the authority deserves it when the teacher shows a genuine desire to teach the student. Only then can they guide them in the right direction and give them information they can relate with and talk to their friends about. Who ever said school subjects had to be unrelated to real life? When they are unrelated to the students life they don't mean anything to the student. Do you know anyone who saved all their research papers from school?

The required subjects in school should change also. We need interesting subjects students can use later in life. The common student won't ever use subjects like Latin, geometry, calculus, trigonometry, algebra, linguistics, grammar, and even advanced composition, yet all these classes are required subjects. The required subjects should be the interesting classes like creative writing and research paper classes. In classes that should be interesting like History, teachers put all the attention on memorizing names and dates, and treat the one research paper, if they are lucky enough to get one, like it is the chore. For me the real chore was the memorizing, not the writing. Subjects that would fascinate the common person and give them the background knowledge to find out how the world works, and help them understand who they are and how they see the world so they can learn what to do to make it a better place are non existent in common schools.

My whole time in school I never saw classes like: Term paper class, Religion class, world history from an indigenous point of view class, Environmental class, present day corporate abuse class, make your own rap song class, make your own movie class, or Create your own Utopia class. Why? Fortunately It is starting to become common knowledge that proper teaching is about guiding kids in their natural directions by showing them by example what you know and how it has meaning for you. Then relate it to what students are interested in to get them motivated to stop wasting time with boring activities.

Even rebellious teenager hooligans value knowledge, they just act like they don't to keep from feeling polluted by a controlling system. All you have to do as a teacher is give extra credit for the activities they already do to motivate them to work hard. It is called encouragement, and that is what grows to mutual respect. Only then can a student open up and take guidance, but it will always only be guidance. It will never be: 'Tell me what I told you so I can decide if you are smart'. Intelligence isn't all about the ability to recite the rules of society, especially if the rules of society are rooted in an old system of control that is no longer needed. We should let the students decide their own subjects and topics and give them ideas instead of demands.

One might say, 'How can one teacher handle a class of 30 when they are all doing their own thing?' But I say 'Don't forget the students will be interested in their subjects enough that they won't need the prodding that you are used to'. Here is an example contrasting the way it is with the way it should be:

The way it is: In a research paper for history class, the teacher gives the students a limited list of things to write about, shutting out a wide variety of interesting subjects that haven't been studied and could provide a new angle not yet explored. The 15 source guidelines with bibliography and footnotes and 50 fact source cards is a good idea, but specific form of style is not. Because students interests are broader than before, the subjects they chose to have papers will naturally be broader. Family trees, inventions, myths, or anything that happened in the past that affects the present should be allowed for a history class. For example, in a social issues class students should be allowed to write about marijuana, LSD, sex and even coming to class and blowing people away if they want to, so they don't feel like they are being repressed and can let their own ideas about things blossom when they are ready. This way, teachers will see if kids are suicidal or dangerous and can take preventative action. If you suppress anything in a persons mind when they are developing, it may never come back again. Our minds work differently at different ages, if you slap a six year old for jumping around they might never feel free again. It works like this for high school kids too. people became brain washed when they were in high school, and if it didn't happen then, their minds were seized in college. The emphasis should be put on whether the student is reading and writing, which it is obviously not because when we get out of school we don't value reading and writing because we were forced to read and write what wasn't ours in school. We leave school with dirty thoughts about brilliant people like Jung, Freud, and Marx, not only because it was given to us in a butchered and over processed way, but because the teachers themselves didn't seem to fully process the subjects for themselves, because they were reading from a script. They didn't have the opportunity to when they were in school, and then they went straight into teaching before getting themselves well roundly educated. Not to mention the fact that they are slaves to a school board comprised of politicians who have never taught before. Teachers teach a wide range of subjects to a wide range of people, so it is important for them to be specialists in general knowledge, renaissance people scratching the surface in all subjects. After all, you don't need to know the inner workings of subjects in order to present them to high school kids, just the gist of it and how it relates to the world to ignite the spark in students minds. Learning is supposed to be fun, but too many people, like one of my education teachers think learning is supposed to be grueling and painful. The age of making people do things out of fear is over, just like assembly line education. The age of creativity is here but to be creative you can't be afraid to speak your mind. What will ensure our national security now isn't a nation of math whizzes to make nuclear missiles, but open minded, educated, problem solvers who know their own meaning and direction and have a vision of the future so we can come up with solutions to the worlds dilemmas. The best way to teach is by example. So any paper about a subject a teacher may give a student, the teacher should have of their own to share. To show how and what you add as personal meaning to a subject. I will show my personal work on all subjects to students. But freedom for the teacher means there needs to be a reformation in education so they can teach what they are prepared to teach, instead of following the guidelines of some high paid beurocrat who has never taught and has no relationship with teachers. The relationship between students and teachers should be the same with teachers and their managers. But all of these problems in education bring us to bigger societal problems with a long history and deep roots; which must also be addressed if we are to look at the world holistically. Moral of the story, until people can say what they please in this land of the brave and home of the free, institutionalized education is nothing more that a variation of the 15 century Vatican, and of no use to people seeking the truth. And with the internet, if they don't start taxing us up the wazzoo for it, any attempt at censorship will burn into nonexistence. The fight is already won, we are on the high road to a positive new age.

Paradigm shifts, why we must believe

We must believe because belief causes the search. Columbus found America because he believed there was land on the other side, Edison made the light bulb because he believed there was electricity. Those who don't believe just have closed minds and don't think. Too many people have preconceived and don't do their homework and as a result don't grow. Look back to the time of the Roman Catholic church, they didn't think about what Galileo was saying, they just KNEW what they knew because they always knew it. It is amazing how easily people can get stuck in certain ways of thinking, unable to escape for hundreds of years. Old dogs die because you can't teach them new tricks. The paradigm of the world has completely changed so many times, from all of the superstitious cultures around the world, like indigenous cultures taking metaphors like we came out of the earth through four levels literally, to thinking black cats mean 7 years bad luck, to individuals completely changing their attitudes about life, like born again Christians and ex-drug addicts. We are always dancing from one extreme to the other, like the marijuana lover who starts getting sick and stupid from it, so they quit cold turkey and forget all the positive things they got from it and say only bad things about it.
With the introduction of all this technology we are about to totally change our attitude about life. No longer will the most ruthlessly aggressive people be the ones in power, but the gentle, networking sociable ones who utilize the strengths of all constituents of the population. I am not saying it will be different souls, but these souls will be working differently. In debates, there won't be winners and losers, just people offering their own take and letting people decide for themselves. People will no longer do certain things and act certain ways just because everybody else does, because the media will grow to such a point that everyone will not only have their own internet site, but TV station, so people will just gravitate to where their particular tastes guide them. No longer will our thoughts be controlled by a handful of huge media companies who own everything. One might say, 'I don't want that! We will just all group into our own clicks and become homogenous'. But it is not education, exploration and mixing of styles that causes homogeny, but ignorance, a lack of education, caused by a small group of people having a stranglehold on just a few channels and newspapers. Ignorance is ignoring diversity. Look at America, sure the ethnic groups click together amongst themselves, but they get along much better with each other tan in their home land because they see first hand all the different people in the world. The first thing that needs to happen is for us to realize we are basically good beings created by God. Our nature is not evil like we are told by fundamentalist Christians. They think by thinking this we become humble before God. By reducing ourselves we gain the right to survive. Like Christ had to die as a ransom for us to not have to go to hell. This insanity leads to accusing any self empowered person to belonging to a serpent man who lives in caves of fire surrounded by screaming souls. Thinking %90 of the worlds population lives once only to have this torment to look forward to is a real moral buster, spreading pessimism like a chronic disease. In this day in age of cultural mixture this attitude just causes extreme resentment to Christianity as a whole, making people throw the whole philosophy away, from belief in God, to life after death, to prayer in general. But extreme thinking on both sides won't last because of our quickly growing consciousness. Any teacher, politician, or parent who holds on to extreme attitudes is just showing they don't understand the whole spectrum and is destined to lose the respect of today's youth who grow up with both sides all around them, free from the cultural biases of their parents. Many old people would say there is more danger and violence and factionalism today than in the past, but that is only with leaders their age who are overwhelmed by all of the changes going on and don't know how to handle it. But when they die and their MTV, Internet exposed kids inherit the planet, we will forget the old age cultural squabbles. look at Germany and Japan now, 50 years later their youth in general has forgotten about their racial and cultural superiority attitudes, are interested in traveling and learning about other cultures. When we realize we are basically good, and the fundamentalist Christians quit preaching about the power of the devil, all the frustrated rock stars will have less to complain about, and will become empowering chanters of freedom. And when we stop hurting the environment because of water powered engine designs get on the internet, thus disempowering the oil companies from suppression of alternatives (which, by the way, has already happened, GEET engine from Cripple Creek, Colorado), the Earth will heal and we will all begin dreaming of a bright future again, opening a Pandora's box of opportunities. RELIGION To give you an idea of how fearful, ignorant, and quick to judge we are about our basic views on life. Lets explore the whole problem we have with religion. people are pathetically quick to judge each other when it comes to religion. If I start talking about god and the Bible to normal people, they think I am a fundamentalist Christian and start telling me how no matter what I say, they aren't going to hell, or that they are and there is nothing I can do about it. and if I start talking about Buddhism to fundamentalist Christians, needless to say they get scared and think I am falling into the idiotic grips of the Devil. and if I talk about aliens, a lot of people just think I have had too many hits of acid or was dropped on my head as a baby. Why are we so quick to judge? Well, we were never asked to have religious debates in school because it is such a sensitive subject. Facilitators think they are being shrewd by avoiding the subject, why? So we can get at each others throat's later in life? if we don't learn to speak our minds in high school or college when will we? After college we are told to get 'real jobs'. As if all the other jobs are 'fake jobs' for the weak minded. some times intelligent people chose jobs with little responsibility so they can focus on themselves, or start something of their own. Here I am offering my take on religion, which to me in another word for spirituality or reality. I arrive at answers by following patterns, coming form deep in the past of our history and my imagination; and allowing those patterns into the future to see where we are going. But in order to see those patterns I need to step back and see all facets of the world from a distance, like stepping back from the screen door and moving around in order to get a clear picture of the back yard. Another word for this is education. It is amazing how lacking in education we are in things that are timeless. Once there was a black out in L.A. and thousands of people called the cops complaining about the smoke fog in the sky, not realizing it was the milky way. or Holistic medicine, sacred geometry, or any of the other tribal truths we have lived with since the beginning. We just threw it all away as we came into the modern world. Sorry if I sound like a bible thumping maniac, but if we would just educate ourselves on the prophecies of the Bible and take into account of the world religions, we would have a much clearer understanding of the world we live in and the world we came from. But we ain't seen nothing yet, until now I have just been analyzing the everyday concerns of the common people. When we really look at the big picture, and bypass the limited cultural paradigm we were born with, we will undergo a bigger transmutation in the way we see the world than men born with slaves and dying with black people running their city ever dreamed of. What I am talking about is disclosure, the government opening the door to the presence of aliens. Only then will we see the true depth of our cultural brain washing and reevaluate everything. When you listen seriously to all the stories that people are afraid to tell in fear of ridicule, read the books written by aliens, and contemplate the vast science and history of Gods creation; it becomes clear that not only interstellar travel is possible but extraterrestrial life is everywhere; and a natural progression of our divine, eternal life. Only then will it be clear that all the superstitions and stories from the past came from true stories of people called gods who come from other planets, and those silver discs, red triangles, and shooting stars that make 90 degree turns seen by millions of people are actually vehicles driven by these 'gods' who are watching and trying to help us. These are people similar to us from other star systems like Sirius, Arcturus Zeta Reticulae, the Plaiades, and even other galaxies. When we take this into account all of our scientific loopholes make sense, like the missing links, the sudden appearances of hominids and dinosaurs, and all of the strange cultural similarities like all indigenous cultures having the same story about the Plaeides; that seven sisters came down and wanted to marry the prince of the Earth. The Pyramids that we can't even construct today that are symmetrical to a quarter of an inch. Perfectly carved stones, as if from giant machines, the 600 ton block on King David's temple in Jerusalem 50 feet in the air, at the time of its construction 100 feet in the air. A feat none of our present day cranes could hope to do, the stories about Pluto, which we have only recently discovered, the big planet we can only as of now gravitationally detect, the Dogon tribe in Libya's accurate stories about the orbit of the Sirius star that we didn't confirm until a hundred and fifty years ago of the ancient Sumarians Cuneiform translations telling accurate stories about all the planets in the solar system, from calling Pluto, invisible to the naked eye, a water planet, that we didn't confirm until the voyager spacecraft saw it and showed us it was blue, to the story of the giant planet with an elliptical orbit that we only recently detected gravitationally and are now searching for in the sky, among other things, is all explained. We all probably have miraculous stories to tell but we bury them in fear of ridicule.
As a personal example, I saw a saucer five minutes after I prayed for one to come down, in the form of lights in the distance of the desert blinking at me from left to right then right to left, then inward in the red green yellow that I was so fond of then. Then a couple months ago when my huge three foot long windshield crack suddenly disappeared and two days when I woke up with my gapped teeth suddenly together. These occurrences reassured me of a supernatural presence that our modern society adamantly rejects, why? People can give each other the screw faced evil eye to stories like this until the stories seep into common knowledge and then it becomes a reality, then we all forget the great change we have made and live as if it has always been like this. Just remember one thing, if you were to drop your great grand dad off in Boulder now and show him around he just might have a heart attack or lock himself in a closet or pass out.

Our problems and what we need to do to change

From the beginning our biggest problem has always been our inability to see eye to eye, to relate to one another and realize we are all one. Freedom, the word that defines our country, our first constitutional amendment, is the necessary step in our cultivation of creativity It was suppression of knowledge by the English church, is what motivated our ancestors to founded this great county. The freedom to think what you want, say what you want, be who you are, that is what made us great, and why people flocked here. Most of the great innovators of the world were first generation immigrants to America, brilliant people who knew they couldn't do it in the old world because of feudalistic style over control. To cultivate creativity, there needs to be an anything goes attitude. Something we take for granted in this country and don't realize the value of until we leave and see the close mindedness of European cultures and hear all the attitude about how Americans are arrogant, loud, and self centered. But we aren't holier than thou, it just seems that way to people who are stuck in the 'watch what you say or else the king will behead you' attitude. We are a nation of rebels, with every generation blaming the one before and earnestly trying to change, following the pattern we have lived by since the first boat load of fed up freedom fighters arrived. But now more than ever we need to reevaluate reality; find out what we really want. Because the iron hand of suppression, the FDA, FBI NSA, CIA, IRS, etc., is alive and working hard to control us as if we are people not to be trusted. look at how all the figmentary societal rules that we have made up and blindly follow. Rules who's primary motivator is fear: Graduate from high school or you will be a failure in life, graduate from college or you won't be successful, get married before you are thirty, and god forbid, don't live with your parents. Keep up with the Jones's new clothing styles that hurt the environment. If people do break out and express themselves they are likely to be labeled with a mental illness: Having a healthy imagination means attention deficit disorder and need Ritilin, and getting stressed out calls for Prozac which almost half of us are on, and the cure for depression is lithium. We don't realize we are given drugs made from specific parts of plants, and chemicals formulated in a certain way so a Billionaire, Friend of the FDA, company can call dibs on, and then illegalize natural time tested remedies like marijuana. And people don't even know what aromatherapy is. It is the natural healing juices boiled out of plants and used to airate rooms, or use in baths or on the skin to trigger the brain to calm down and heal the body. We don't realize that even today in this country, people can't even sell these natural undoctored essential oils from plants that anybody cold produce with a $300 distiller, with a claim that it has a certain healing property; even though it has been common knowledge for thousands of years throughout all cultures. Naturopaths people have to change the spelling from 'Breath aid' to 'Breathe aide', until the FDA cracks down again and they have to change it to something totally ambiguous and make it a hush word of mouth inoculation. Why? To protect the public from harmful plants? No, to keep a strangle hold on the multi billion dollar pharmaceutical industry of man made, carcinogenic, exorbitantly priced pills. Our government is still controlled by greedy monopolists who think lust like the wealthy land owners of medieval times. Meanwhile we have $100 bottles of pills giving people brain cancer and polluting the environment. Witch burning is alive and well, but nobody knows or cares because we were never trained to think for ourselves. After college we tell ourselves we are educated and start the 9 to 5 grind, thinking everything is hunky dory. This is because we were always told what to think, and never asked what we think. And if a kid in class or any where else says something different, they are shot down by the teacher, or the skeptic who prides himself on his objective reasoning skills, thinking they are escaping the age old Christian or pagan brainwashing that we all hear of, but never realizing that his skepticism, is actually a blind eye to the truth, and not a freedom from craziness, This is because his skepticism is born of fear of something new and thus no effort to study the facts is made. People stand on two extremes of the yard with out walking around to see what the whole landscape looks like. Look where suppression got Russia, now it is an impoverished country run by gangsters. That is why it is of imminent importance to encourage kids to speak their minds, no matter what they say. but we must believe one thing fist, and that is that having the freedom to speak your mind will yield nothing but truth, and not lead to an escape of demons to reap havoc on the world. and that is where religion the whole issue that our country was founded on, comes into play.

The root causes

The root causes of world dynamics are ancient. We have been steadily more social as time passes. from monkeys to humans. As we get more evolved our tribes get larger and our knowledge and responsibilities greater. But if our responsibilities grow faster than our knowledge, we will topple. This is what our lord and savior from the Devil Jesus Christ of Nazareth son of Joseph and Mary was talking about when he said: 'A man who builds his house on a rock is better off than the dude who builds it on sand'. This is exactly what is happening to the world now. We have all this nuclear technology, world trade, gizmos and gadgets, so many we don't know what to do with. We buy computers and play games on them rather than use them to network and educate ourselves to overthrow the rich kids in control of the military industry complex that we spend billions upon billions of dollars on every year and the zillionaire oil companies who are in bed with the automobile industry who are in cahoots with the pharmaceutical and tobacco companies who control the FDA who keep 50,000 people in jail for life from distributing the Cannibus plant. These wealthy people see the world as a play ground to do as they please, and get a sick self satisfying pleasure out of milking people like cows. If this sounds harsh think about all the child labor and exploitation of immigrants, slaves, and native americans, or the Nazis and their concentration camps. Human passion spurred from a feeling of separation will cause otherwise normal people to do horrific things. Germans aren't bad people, but they killed 6 million Jews. We are always reading about people flipping out and killing their families, are they bad or just mad? I, for one, can indirectly remember going mad and murdering people in my past lives out of sheer rage caused by people killing my family. And I think I might be dangerous today if I had not grown up in a peaceful Buddhist family. Humans have the potential to be divine, but we are still animals, and our biggest challenge is to transcend this passionate feeling of separateness and see the spirit of the universe in a holistic way, that we are all one.

Historic reason's and stories of our oneness

The Buddhists of yore have always said we are all one. and that it is useless to pay too much attention to this world that is only temporary, the world of eternity is what we should focus on, our souls and our relationships with each other. It is a truly mind boggling exercise when I think that the people in this class will meet each other again and again for eternity throughout the vast expanse of the universe. There by meaning that time itself doesn't even exist, but is merely an illusion in this world of life and death, as we are children changing so much every year and forgetting life time after life time, just as the 3 year old doesn't remember what he did the day before. Time is merely a measurement of growth. The perfect spirit free from growth is timeless, but the spirit of passion who sees everything as separate and not spiritual, or of one spirit, is very clever (bible) and tricks us into falling back into our animal instincts of separateness, and uses the mind to convince the heart that there is no point in life but to watch out for your self. Our western culture is the culture of the mind, separating and classifying which is perfectly natural for humans to do, but has been taken too far. In our journey of learning the world we classified and separated, thus seeing things as separate and unrelated. When we see things as unrelated we see them as competing, which yields only war. We see ourselves as the center of existence, and then socialize with others accordingly, imposing our beliefs on others and not regarding what they have to offer. But this classifying and separating mind set has yielded an earnest effort to objectively discover the truth, and has brought us full circle with the original idea that we are all one. Galileo changed the paradigm tremendously when he proved the earth wasn't the center of the universe. Then Newton came along and introduced the equal but opposite force theory. This revolution in the way we see reality was caused by quantum physics, when Einstein's E=MC(2) equation we still saw matter as being purely solid and separate, suggesting mass and light, which is energy, are the same thing. When Einstein imagined himself going the speed of light time would stop, as I understand it because movement determines time. Objects in space effecting each others movements according to their mass, among other things, it suggested that ? I admit I don't fully understand it, but by the way objects effect each other in space it convinced the physicists of the day that there is an unseen relationship between the matter of the universe. And this inspired other scientists like Neils Bohr and Robert Openheimer to imagine the structure of the atom as being units of opposing charges of energy, which led them to performing experiments with positively charged light particles which confirmed the existence of a small nucleus in an atom. this inspired the theories of large nucleuses of plutonium that are unstable because there are so many proton s bunched together almost overcoming the nuclear force. Meaning if you split the nucleuses you can use the positive charges of the protons to separate out in great force and split the nucleuses of all the other atoms, causing an nuclear explosion. This was the ultimate proof that mass is just solidified energy. Then we understood radio waves and billions of neutrinos (neutral, mass less particles). This vastly proved to the logical mind that the whole universe is connected and hence, one, just as the Hindus and Buddhists have said for eons. The point of the matter is that we all would have not come to this conclusion had it not been for the symbiotic relationship between theory verses experiment, and dreaming verses logic.
