Website mission statement
Personal website's are so new to us that most people haven't even thought about ever having one, so the idea about how to structure one is wide open; and in a few years when everyone has one there will be lots of different kinds of personal web sites. I believe personal website's serve two main purposes:
1) To help in self discovery.
2) To express yourself and your ideas to the world.
In the beginning personal website's, PW's I'll call them, will just be photo albums, but as people become less afraid to put their thoughts up on the world wide web, they will become places for us to express and exchange our opinions first about political issues, and then about religious issues and everything else. Everybody will have a site that has their opinions about the most important topics of discussion with a message board attached to each article, and when we surf the web and stumble across other PW's we will just paste our own articles onto the message boards of the articles we read. After a while we won't even have to waste our time writing it all out, we will be able to attach videos of ourselves talking about the various issues.
Once enough people have PW's, search robots like Google will scowl the web for the various topics of discussion and map out the graphs and percentages of what people about all of the main subjects of conversation, so we will know where we all stand.
My PW is a prototype because I have never found a PW like it. So far all I have seen are photo albums with blog's that include ideas but not in an organized way as to be able to find out exactly what the person believes about every subject.
My site will have more to do with the prolific expression of ideas connected to each other with links within the site. Although I will be very interested in flash graphics and cartoons and photo albums, what really interests me is how one can navigate from thought to thought instantaneously by the click of a link. Links within articles will revolutionize the way we communicate because every statement can be backed up by an example on another page through a link, and every claim can be proved by a link to another site that verifies it. Once links to examples and proofs become the norm, people will start talking with examples and proofs ready in their minds to reference when they need to; so that we will be much more credible and transparent to each other, thus, better communicators.
Personal website's are the answer to all the worlds problems
All we need to do to fix all of the problems in the world is for everybody to have a PWS. The logic is quite simple and is explained linearly:
1) The main problem - The main problem in the world, whether people realize it or not, is that we are killing our planet. Because of all the deforestation and pollution and threat of nuclear holocaust we have to change if we are going to survive. I believe it is possible to make a smooth transition to a sustainable lifestyle because we have always managed to do it in the past. For example: Just when the industrial revolution was getting out of control with pollution and pestilence, we decided to make the switch from coal to oil, put the cables underground, make child labor laws and stuff like that.
2) Fix the world by learning to Communicate - The destruction of the world is too difficult for any one government or company to control. To give a simple example, Brazilian deforestation is mainly caused by poor people trying to make a life for themselves by going out and cutting down the forest and putting up a farm. The only thing the Brazilian government could do is try to distribute the wealth some more, but at the end of the day the people with the true power are the individuals.
It will take individuals to fix the problems of the world because of the way multinational corporations are set up. I know that sounds like an oxymoron, and maybe it is; I don't know much about economics. I could be wrong. The way I see it is that individuals buy into public corporations, so if it's the individuals who feed the corporations with their investments, and individuals who feed corporations with their business; it seems to me that these multinational coorporations that a lot of people like to see as being the ultimate evil are in fact the ultimate democracy. My point is that the problems with the world begin and end with the individual and not the corporation. I think the problems most people have with corporations are how laws are designed to boost the corporations and hurt the small businesses. But laws are made by politicians and not corporate leaders, so instead of going after the corporations we need to be keeping a closer eye on the politicians who are elected by the individual citizens. My point is that in order to have a healthy society all we need are responsible individuals. It always comes back to the individual.
We need to empower the individual
Once we truly understand that all the worlds problems can be fixed if we all act responsibly as individuals, than a pandoras box of possibilities will open up, and we will never be bored, cynical, or feel helpless again, because we will all be powerful as individuals.
The best way for you to exersize your power is to express yourself, and the most intelligent way to express yourself is to share what you beleive about all the political and philosophical issues. Most people won't share what they believe because they think they are unqualified to do so. I contend, however, that we are all qualified to express what we beleive, just as we are qualified to vote for who we think would be the most appropriate policitian.
The interesting thing is that the people who control the world right now grew up in a world that was still divided in terms of information access to the other people in the world, so they are in effect living in a world that is no longer relevant. Think about that for a moment. That the old people who control the world right now are obsolete because their minds are out of date. This happens every time a planet makes the transition from division to unity, and it is my belief that the transition from the old paradigm being the dominant paradigm to the new paradigm being the dominant paradigm takes place in about 50 years. I predict this time frame as being between 1968 to 2018. I chose 1968 as the beginning year because it was the first explosion of the new way of thought with the summer of love and all that. I believe the knowledge of ourselves will be strong enough by 2018 because by then the world will be pretty much ravaged, we will be able to see how we can actually live here sustainably, and most people will have PWS up so that we will all know how to actually communicate and understand each other.
3) How to communicate - To know how to communicate correctly we need to understand the two opposite paradigms, the old and the new; and understand how they are opposite. Once we see how they are opposite, all we have to do is take the simple and easy step across the line into the new paradigm and adhere to its laws. The best way to show how they are opposite is with this graph.
Old and new communication opposite Paradigm-shift graph
Old communication paradigm |
New communication paradigm |
| Say what other people (Pope, King, parents, teacher) tell you to say |
Say what you want |
| Watch what you say because your life will be in danger if you don't |
Say whatever you want because nobody can kill you and you will never starve to death |
| Only talk to people who are like you so you don't have to argue and instead reaffirm what you were told to believe. |
Seek out people who believe differently from you so you can express yourself and hear what they have to say about it so you can develop your own beliefs and educate others on yours. |
| When you talk with someone who is not like you, win the argument by destroying everything the other person says until you don't want to talk to each other anymore |
When you talk to someone who is not like you, express your opinions and then listen to what the other person says about them until you both reach a new level of understanding |
| If you feel you need to complain about something, do it to people who believe the same as you so you can reassure yourself that you really believe it |
If you feel you need to complain about something, do it to people who have influence to change it because you have already decided you know that you think you know. |
Under the old paradigm a PWS would never be possible, not only because they would be illegal, but because nobody would actually write what they believe if they know everybody in the world can read it. They would think that anything they write could be used against them in some way, however which way they wouldn't know, and wouldn't want to know. Only when people are not afraid to say what is really on their mind will a PWS be interesting enough to be readable and will the people be able to communicate with each other.
Once people reach out and try to convince each other of what they believe, and show each other who they are and where they come from, the truth will be revealed because the truth will win over the people who haven't made up their minds about things yet.
Once enough people have a PWS that expresses their beliefs about everything, and the search engines have become developed enough to catalogue them and show us the statistics about what we all believe in an undeniably truthful way, we will be ready to act on it.
4) After deliberation comes action - After we have communicated to each other enough through our own little sites, we will be able to use those same sites to network and create the best ways to go about saving the planet and in turn, bada bing, saving ourselves.
The destiny of PWS's after we have saved ourselves from imminent destruction
Apart from using the PWS to communicate with each other so we can find a way to save the planet, we will use them to promote products that we think are cool and sell them to each other through our sites. The more creative of us will use them to create pay sites that offer all kinds of services. Everything from products, to services, to downloadable programs and videos.
My Personal Website's design
My philosophy about my own personal website is multi-faceted. It is to be a tool for me to organize my memories from my life first and foremost, so when I am old I can look at it and relive all of my experiences. Secondly, it is for me to organize my opinions about everything in an organized way. I won't be embarrassed writing my opinions about a subject that I don't know much about because opinions are the primordial soup that make the world go around and can be expressed by anyone. Firstly it doesn't make sense to compare yourself to otheres, but even if it did, I know there isn't a person alive who knows everything about everything so why should I try to compare myself with someone who doesn't exist? Once I know more about a subject I will add it to my PWS.
The second purpose of my PWS is to show others about my life, like some sort of reality web log show, and more interestingly, express what I believe to the whole world. When I write my opinions in a place that the whole world can see, I make double sure to say things that I will never have to apologize for, or take back. So it really makes me think about what I really do think. I don't understand the concept of keeping a journal that is for your eyes only. Wanting to keep a journal private strikes me as being ashamed of oneself, or having some kind of supersticious fear of something that doesn't exist. It's fine to have secrets, but we shouldn't be keeping our beleifs secret.
I don't want to be ashamed of myself or be afraid of the boogy man. I want to be an active neuron in this gigantic brain we have created. We are all one, but we are all such artistically varied variations on that one prototype that it seems to me a waste to not share the various flavors of our colorful world with each other so we can all take part in the celebration of waking up upon ourselves by way of sharing ourselves.
Peace out. Ode to the living brain called planet Earth.
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.
The Key to Happiness
The key to happiness ties right into all the other questions such as is there a god? where did we come from? is there reincarnation? So number one the key to happiness is to know the truth regarding all of those questions. If we are to be truly happy, to buble over with joy every day from sun up to sun down with the constant amazement at the miraculaous everlasting beauty of our unresstrained and eternal voyage through the casms of space and time creating and experiencing and striving on and on, we have to know that we can. We can not be happy if we believe there is no point to being alive. We can not be happy if we belief we will live once and then dissapear into the nothingness forever. Some people comfort themselves by beleiving they dissolve into the universe. But I don't think people will truly experience the joy of creating untill they start creating is a truly independant way, and the only way to think conpletely independantly is by beleivein that this life is not the only chance. we have to feel confortable doing one thing here and knowing that we will one day get a change to experience another existence in another life in the future. or be able to justify a reason for not wanting a certain life now because we already lived it in the future. When we think with so many open possibilities we are no longer stressed trying to achieve something in this life before a certain date or else we have lost our chance forever.
The real issue here is how do we know when to relax and not work because we don't have to worry about completing anything now but stay motivated to work to keep evolving? the answer is the drive is a god given urge that can not be taken away from you and so you have to just do what you want to. The problem now is that all of the rules of life are changing 180 degrees so we are stuck in a kind of limbo where we need to realize that we need to conciously make the effort to change the rules and continue on a more independant course.
It's the Future man!
The time has come siblings! We must
look at the past like something to come out of and change instead of using it
as an excuse. My grandmother used to cut naked statues and native people out
of magazines for my father and didn't let him read at night after 8 P.M. when
he was a kid. She used to think blacks were a subspecies and all Catholics where
evil. Now I spend as much time as possible learning about other people, in the
most outwardly unassuming and diplomatic way possible. Now, not many years later
I am using my $500 a month from oil rights I inherited from my grandfather to
do all I can to subvert the oil companies and bring solar energy into style.
My name has come a long way. I've heard old people say the kids of today suck,
well I have a seventeen year old brother who is way cooler than I was as his
age. I have honestly never heard him say anything negative about people who
aren't like him. Love for one another and aggressive encouragement of individuality
is the first thing America needs, and its high time for us freshies to blow
it up in our parents faces, we owe it to them for every reason. We all need
to encourage are little brothers and sisters to dye their hair blue, paint their
faces green, tie stars in their hair, and tape pictures of Marijuana on their
notebooks (not like they should be stoned at school). Even if that isn't their
natural charisma, it needs to be done to bust open the minds of people who conciously
and unconsciously enforce conformity, judgment, and creativity bashing. Restrictions
on appearance is a symptom of creativity suppression, and people are starting
to freak out because they feel like their choking on a meaningless black fog
of hate and fear. Listen to Rage Against the Machine and pump dumbbells every
day instead of writing crap in the bathroom stalls and bitching within ear shot
of people who don't want to hear it. It works for me.
Change Manners
I don't like the popular manners of today: Having your elbows on the table,
dressing (if you dress nicely you should do it because you want to), waiting
to eat until others are ready (because I take so long to eat), being expected
to communicate in a certain way (some ways of communication are easier to understand,
but some people just prefer to communicate in their own way).
Why we don't need rules
We don't
need rules because we all benefit from doing good. If someone doesn't do good,
it is because they can't because they know they are doing wrong and are just
hurting themselves and others. So they need more love from others, not less.
We can teach people to be motivated to help. How do we do that? We teach them
how they can help that works with their style. If a kid who thinks they don't
want to help anyone, then teach them to help themselves because that will help
others.
Move out of your house now!
Please be like me and move out of
your house and live up here on campus, it's a lot better. You might think it's
a waste of time, but it's not. When I lived in houses, I was spending all my
time getting blitzed and hanging out with my roommates and doing their dishes.
Now I spend all my time doing the things I wished I was doing when I lived in
a house. Plus I get to look at the stars every night and watch the little reflector
bugs fly around. You may think you can't afford it, but it's actually a lot
cheaper than living in a house. I lived splendidly last year on just about $4000,
A lot of people spend that on rent alone. You may think it's bad for the environment,
but I don't think so. As long as you don't pee there (like me) you would leave
your campsite just the way you found it. And you wouldn't be helping a house
degrade the environment (water, electricity, wood, etc..). You may think the
law enforcers would get you, not true. I have told told the cops up here more
than once that I live up here, and they have never told me to stop. u a it ain't
but I don't think they really care. It kind of sucks when it rains, but I just
go to the picnic shelter behind the Bader Sheridan's or put a tarp over me. And
when it snows it don't matter because snow don't get you wet. Most importantly,
if you live in a car during college, you can live in a car anywhere. Scientists
are making a bean now that has all the nutrients you need combined with rice,
so you could almost live for free baby! all my time getting blitzedy time
doing the things I wish can
Hide nothing!
This country has so
many problems because we don't communicate. One of the reasons that we don't
communicate is because we all write each other off as loonies and decide not
to talk to each other; we aren't interested in each other. This is a side affect
of having a one-sided consciousness, only caring about one sort of thing, for
example: People who stay in cities and work all the time, as opposed to outdoors
hermits who never work. Or monks opposed to politicians and vice versa. These
vast differences in lifestyle is natural and not to be condemned, but thinking
that your way is the best and other people should be like you, is when polarized
(one sided) consciousness becomes harmful. Like certain people preaching their
views to others, and ignoring the common denominator between them and others,
as if other views aren't worth note. Or people who think getting a computer
job for $45,000 is a smarter thing to do than dropping out of school and being
a ski bum, outdoors guide, or world bicycle traveler; because they are too emersed
in the financial gain and 'security' (which really means addiction to warmth,
caffeine, sugar, television, clean clothes, a bed, warm showers, etc..), and
laziness. This 'ethnocentrism' forms barricades because of their disinterest
in learning and habit of control. This polarized-ethnocentrism is the cause
of the environmental, and foreign relations problems of our country, and our
own interpersonal problems. So we all must be interested in each other, and
everything else in the world. One of the signs that we aren't communicating
is that we put each other down without saying why. For example: The militia
movement saying they are arming up because they don't trust the government,
but not explaining why. Another way communication stammering hurts people is
their false security in secrets; for example people who are suppressed, like
marijuana smokers being afraid to admit it to the public, as if they are going to be suppressed.
HOW TO
HAVE A RELIGIOUS CONVERSATION WITH OUT MAKING IT CONFRONTATOINAL
If you speak your mind to a fundamentalist you are bound to have differences
in opinion. and the way to woo
them and keep them from feeling frustrated is to keep smiling, laughing, never
show weakness, for that should be
reserved for your friends, and keep reminding them that no matter what we will
all go to heaven, and we all
want the same thing. When bringing basic differences in doctrine together like
the trinity, God, and
reincarnation, and idol worship, an overview and historical retracing is necessary.
For all of these beliefs
need to be not only respected but believed. Their truth is self evident in the
millions of believers. For example,
the trinity issue. Muslims fervently disregard the trinity, but only because
they think Christians put too much
emphasis on it, if you look at the trinity as what it is: The different levels
of awareness of God, and then
acknowledge that it is the importance in remembering God that is most important,
there doesn't have to be an argument.
Different religions are just different styles, there is nothing wrong with different
styles, that is the beauty
of the world, the diversification there doesn't have to be a "difference"
in ideology an even there needs to be a
reconciliation and honest forthright agreement and clarification between al
religions in order to move on to
the next age.
How to be Diplomatic
Diplomacy is a learned skill. If you can be diplomatic you can put anyone on
your side.
Present every statement in the form of a question:
'Don't you think John is sort of right?' 'no!' 'why?'
not: 'John is right' 'No he's not!' 'Yes he is'
Make the person feel smart.
Never say their wrong or don't understand.
Always have facts to backup your arguments.
Help Others Creatively
I's time to think and do for yourself, your ready! All styles (music, personalities,
etc.) are melting
together. The old farts don't understand that Chi training and dancing,
stretching sore muscles and yoga, bragging
and self affirmation, helping yourself and helping others, etc., are all the
same things. I think people born after
1970 are the only ones capable of fully comprehending this.
Open your mind to all the noises, even if you hear a lot of static, because
we are the most well rounded and
powerful people ever. My grandfather sure as hell couldn't do 25 pull ups, run
up mountains without stopping, ride
a bike for 13 hours straight, do the splits, write 10 page papers on anything
in one night, comfortably relate to
schizophrenics and violent drunk people, get yelled at and insulted and stay
cool, understand the infinity of reality,
and know the need to help all other living things.
If you don't dedicate your life to help others you will be a cancer cell
so you will get it. If you are too
lazy then summon the demons who will make you sick if you don't, or the fairies
who will make you irie if you do,
I do both.
Most of these thoughts came from my own mind, mainly what those new age books
did for me was give me the
confidence to spread my own thoughts.
If you send funky vibes at me for bragging and naturally wanting attention I
will just get stronger, so do
it if you feel the need, I can take it. If everybody could brag without being
shot down than we will all be more
motivated to reach new heights. I love arrogant people, if I feel patronized
by them it's my own fault. I love
you and I want to help your cause, because if I don't I feel like HELL.
