Pirates and the New World Order

      Americans seem to have a love affair with idea of a pirate.  We romanticize them like we do the cowboys, creating a picture of a world that never existed.  They have come to represent a sense of freedom we seem to have lost in our constricted civilized world.   This got me thinking what place does the pirate have in our modern world.  When I started to look around I noticed many of our most famed or infamous have much in common with the beloved pirate.

Pirate defined

      What we get is a picture of a person that holds no loyalty to any nation. A pirate is beyond such considerations, not out of a sense of duty to something bigger then a nation. The pirate is out for the pirate. Many of our top level corporate officers, bankers, and the like are modern pirates.  They profit from off shore, paying no heed to national loyalties.

         So when I was watching the popular modern pirate epics Pirates of the Caribbean. I started noticing  there seemed to be an odd theme to the first movie.
I then watched the 3rd, looking to see if this one also had an odd overall teaching.
Not surprisingly it was easily found.  By the time I watched the middle film I was sure it would be easy to spot. Surprisingly it completely escaped me, this may have been due to being distracted.  Taken in whole these are basic guidelines for how to live a pirates life.

Curse of the Black Pearl: "what a man can do, and what a man can't do"  that is a very profound lesson for a would be pirate.  Laws do not apply to a pirate, so there is only what you are able and willing to do, and what you are unable, or unwilling to do.

 Dead Man's Chest: there is no quote from this movie that I found that aptly spells out the lesson. Instead the lesson is shown by every character in their actions. That message being every man for himself, or self interest governs all.
This is clearly shown as every character lies, cheats, and steals for their own perceived well being.

 At Worlds End: "take what you can, give nothing back" This is pretty self explanatory, and quite evident.

So there it is, if you want to know how to become pirate, live by those guidelines.

Oh and for a bit of fun, look at how our international corporations have been acting.

The Jobs Aren't Coming Back

            For years the back bone of the middle class has been whats called "low skill" "low wage" manufacturing jobs.  With the onslaught of freetrade agreements these jobs fled the wealthier nations, and took up residence in the undeveloped or poorer nations.  This has led toward more global equilibrium of wealth, and power. Simultaneously leading to greater income inequalities within each respective nation.  Many have noticed the jobs created are lower paying then the jobs lost. Even the jobs that currently available may not be for much longer, automation, and technology advancement may make them obsolete.
            I'm not trying to be an alarmist, or chicken little.  This could be an end of the world as they know it for some people.  Though they would of had to have been playing ostrich for quite sometime now.  Most have seen this coming for decades, if not since Mr. Ford invented the factory.  For those forward thinking people this amazing transitional period can offer opportunities unheard of even ten years ago.
          The very concepts of work, and money are changing before your eyes.

          How you react is up to you

Obamacare The Greatest Magic Trick Ever

While Rome burned Nero fiddled.
When historians write of the fall of the dollar will the caption go something like this?

                               Obamacare The Greatest Magic Trick Ever

For years it's been one distraction after another. I always wonder when I'm learning about the newest scandal, if the media is completely controlled, what is so big they need to hide it with this?  With the "shutdown" if you can call it that pushed back past the holiday season.  Obamacare will and has been continually used as a means to hold peoples attention while the rest of the world divests itself of as many of it's Dollar reserves as they can manage.   This isn't even a new trend. While all time stock highs can be tied to the largest supply of dollars at the cheapest price ever.  So if you haven't started learning Chinese you might want to consider it.  The smart ones have all started spending the dollars we intended to be held to ensure some return on investment.

Don't be fooled while Americans watch a drama crafted just for them, the rest of the world is finalizing their plans for the end of the sole reserve status of the dollar.

Fall of America!!! Would You Save it?

There is an almost universal awareness of the slide from power of America. Look no farther then our net import/export.  The Deficit spending, free trade agreements world wide changing to cut out the dollar.  Some of the problems we find ourselves in now have their roots 100 years ago.  These things are fairly easy to see for most people. The real question is would you make the changes needed to fix it?  I mean really would you have the will it takes to make the changes needed to save America as a nation.
It's really not that tough here are a few well known fixes. Please note these are fixes for the current system, and do not fix the basic problem of interest on currency creation.  Just take a look at this How to fix America. Everyone seems to know exactly what the problems are, and how to fix them.

I think the question I don't see being asked might be more important. Should it be saved?
As America was on the rise it created global cooperation never before seen. You can argue how beneficial America's involvement has been for any given region or country, but the overall global inter connectivity is undeniable.  So have we as human beings matured past the point of nations to the point where we need something new?

Do You Deserve a Say

America is what is known as a representative democracy.  This basically means we don't directly make many of the choices that govern our everyday lives.  Instead we elect the people to make those decisions for us.  There is nothing inherently wrong with this set up. So long as you keep an eye on what your representatives are deciding, and they understand who they work for.  In the present day and age this has become complicated by the idea of corporate person-hood, but that is not in the scope or aim of this post to cover.
          For the most part it's so far so good.  You vote for a person you feel holds your values. They get to work on making sure those values are represented in our collective governing body.  The problem comes when the people stop paying attention, or when the ones that are paying attention feel it's beyond their control.
How many times do you hear "I'm not political", or "I don't follow politics". What about this one, "it doesn't really effect me", "I know it's wrong, but I can't do anything about it".  This is the opt out of our system.  You at this point have given away any power you might have in our present system.
         So my question is this.

If you have opted out of the system, why do you think you have deserve a say in it?

The Fall of America, Are You to Blame?

It's all over the news, and obvious to anyone willing to take an unbiased look would say America is in decline.  I hear the calls from concerned citizens, buy american, bring our jobs home.  Try to buy a tv made in america, how many electronic devices are even made here anymore.  How about cars, how many of the parts in your car were manufactured here?  Look, I'm not trying to point fingers at any one individual or group. I'm saying we all are culpable.

      Want to know if your country is on the rise or in decline.  Look for the international trade balances. If your country is negative, wealth is leaving.

This isn't rocket science, things for sure can get confusing, but the major trends are generally pretty easy to spot. When you have a country that is the worlds trade currency your going to add value. This will increase the value of the currency, though it does nothing to add value to the real economy of the country.  The effect of this means the goods produced will reflect this artificially inflated money.

Combine this with a rise of international conglomerate to whom borders are to be exploited in the quest for profits and it's a nice recipe.  

        The writing has been on the wall for years, it's been a slow motion decent from dizzying heights.  Look around the net you'll see so many warning of the collapse of  America.  The warning is to late, it would of needed to be heeded decades ago to halt the natural transition of power.

Could we reverse the damage?

of course we can

Should we?

Patterning, Habit, Uncertainty, Free Will, Oh My!!!

Is there a more fundamental idea being shown in these concepts?  In the idea of patterning, there is a shape or pattern that all energy systems repeat in a fractal manner. The same would be said for the holographic universe model.

In Rupert Sheldrake's morphic resonance there are habits, not hard fast laws. This brings to mind the observer principle, where the act of observation changes the outcome. How about a simple expanding gas cloud where we can predict perfectly the whole cloud, but not the actions of a single molecule in it.   Lets not stop there how about people?  Well it's pretty easy to predict quite accurately how the aggregate will react to any given stimulus, but a bit different when it comes to the individual.  

Could it be that self awareness is the link in this chain?  Would the math work out perfectly if there was no one to do it?  This what these ideas bring to mind for me.

How indoctrination patterns not just the individual but the world around them. 

This is how civilizations are made, how mystery schools develop, and why they fail.  Imagine a well worn path, walked daily by many people.  Over time the path wears, and erodes from normal use.  At first no one would notice, it's so close to the same level as the ground around it. Eventually the path becomes a rut, hopefully you notice at this stage, most don't. The path gets more use then ever, eventually becoming a small gorge that people still walk through. At this point no one even thinks about there being another way as the walls blind them to the other routes. I like to think of this as the road less traveled idea, or crop rotation. No matter how well worn the path is someone will want to walk in the grass.

Could it be self awareness that summons forth variables we can't solve for?

So You Want to be a Wizard Harry?

Funny question?.........Maybe

Though if we are honest, I'm sure many of us have had a fantasy or two about being Gandalf, Harry Potter, or Merlin the list could go on and on.   I'm not telling you that your going to be slinging fireballs, or lighting bolts, but Magic might be as good a way of describing how things work as any. The fun part is, if these theories are correct magic isn't just possible. Everyone is already doing it all the time.
        Let me explain, many of the more progressive, or out there conceptions of the universe end up with in simplistic terms a matrix or web of interconnecting energy.
It doesn't seem to matter if your talking quantum mechanics, holographic universe theory, simulated reality. The result is a bi-directional communication that allows for you to consciously influence your reality.
        These are not new conceptions, most of our ancient mystery traditions have as a foundation the idea that the reality we perceive is not real.   When taken in conjunction with the energy systems such as the chakras, or chi energy.  If changing the flow of energy through these systems can alter your experience in the world isn't that already a form of what most people would think of as magic?
        There are many "new age" sites that talk about creating your own reality. Manifesting might be a more accurate word, as you don't really create anything.
What is happening is a form of sympathetic magic.  You create the environment which attracts your desired result to you.  The magic is being done on you. You become that which attracts what you desire, or you set the stage for your actors to play on.

        These are pretty basic ideas easy to put into practice, your already doing it.

Is America the Evil Empire?

With all the hype about American exceptional-ism being tossed around I couldn't help myself but entertain a few thoughts on the matter.

              Is  American the defender of freedom, and virtue?

 Highly unlikely, the wars for profit, oil, and currency interests would pretty much rule that out.  America has been driven by self interest from the founding fathers on.

But if America isn't the worlds defender of all that is good, then are they the evil empire?

This again isn't very likely. Think of the Star Wars movies episodes 1-3.
While so many people see it as a war between light, and dark. Taking place between the republic, and the separatists.  As well as being reflected in the journey of Anakin from "light" to "dark".  Once you look a bit closer you notice that Palpatine was controlling both sides, as well as pushing Anakin down a path to becoming Vader.  What we are left with is a very powerful psychopath working to solidify his own grip on power.  Seeing things simply as "good" versus "evil" actually plays into the hands of Palpatine.

So how does this relate to the concept of American exceptional-ism?

The Jedi thought of themselves as exceptional, guardians of the republic.  This served them well right up till they became an institution of the republic.
Ensuring they would no long act exceptionally, and would then on enforce a set of rules.

America was exceptional, at the end of WWII our infrastructure was intact. Manufacturing was booming, and we held the lions share of the worlds gold.
The Dollar then became exceptional when it was made the worlds reserve currency. This made the Dollar, and America the exception globally. This incredible boon, and responsibility for sure made America the exception globally.
How long can you really oppose a nation that can effectively lock your nation out of global trade. You have to also ask, how has America used it's position of power, and privilege?  It's used it in every way possible. I feel plunder, rape, and pillage could easily be applied. Of course right next door to those are bastions of wonder and beauty.  I read an article where it was referred to as the pax-Americana by the Chinese state media. While obviously biased, it's not an unfair characterization.  My real question isn't is exceptional-ism dangerous, of course it is. Any time someone or thing sets itself outside the rules everyone else follows the likely hood of abuse is very high.  My question is this. Are we following this script a little closer then we care to admit?  There is a scene where Padme poses a question that boils down to asking if they are fighting for the right side.  This is a very interesting question, and not one with an easy answer. At the time it is posed there is no side that has the interests of the people. The Emperor controls both sides of the conflict.  Like that conflict the sides we are presented with here are not what they seem to be.

Obvious solution?

Choose a new game.

Global Government: Conspiracy or Reality

Remember that guy. You know the one. Tin foil hat, questionable personal hygiene. The one that told you corporations ruled the world? Or that global government was coming?

Well it turns out the super entity has been around awhile!!!
http://www.plosone.org/article/info%3Adoi%2F10.1371%2Fjournal.pone.0025995

Many will see this as horrific, and I'm sure there are many examples that can be used to document just how bad an idea this is. Like most things, it is more likely closer to the middle ground for positive, and negative effects. I can see how it will make the inevitable transition to a formalized global government a bit smoother.
It would also explain the care the brics nations are taking with the transition away from the dollar to a new global currency. Some say it could be 10 years before the rnb is fully convertible.  I'm not so sure stringing out the correction of the US economy is going to work out so great for america.  As the rest of the world stops being able to sell their dollar reserves, and starts spending them.

        I'm seeing the controlling interests quite adroitly handle what has in the past led to heads rolling in baskets.

Organized by Delusion

For most of us, how we perceive, and conceptualize reality leads to delusional perspectives. Our senses lie to us, and even when we know better we reinforce the falsehood in our conceptual modal of reality.
       Lets take the idea of sunrise.

Even though most of us know the earth is spinning we still think of it as the sun coming up. This might not seem important,  but does this point to a fundamental disconnect between reality, and our perception of reality?
           When we hold delusional views we will seek out those that support our delusional thinking. The idea that continue after the physical body is a good one.
We divide ourselves into groups based on conceptions of an afterlife.  How about the idea that the earth is 5000 years old, and evidence to the contrary was put in place by a god wanting to test your faith, don't laugh to hard this view is reputed to be held by a few in the american government.
           If you start from the stand point that everything goes back to one, then you have to hold some basic illusions to even have an individual experience.  It just may be that it is our delusions that define our reality vary more effectively then our truths. Can you have anything real if the foundation is a lie?

The Layman's Guide to whats Happening.

To get a clear picture we have to start at least as far back as 1913. The Federal Reserve Act is signed into law.  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Federal_Reserve_Act

What this did was allow for a private group to skim off every dollar created.

After WWII the Bretton Woods agreement was signed in 1944 to rebuild world trade.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bretton_Woods_system
http://www.polsci.ucsb.edu/faculty/cohen/inpress/bretton.html

This had the effect of allowing the The Fed to now skim off all international trade.

Forward to 1971 and Nixon removes the dollar from the gold standard.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nixon_Shock
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gold_standard

When this was done the petrodollar took over.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Petrocurrency

Jumping ahead to more current events.

Afghan war is more about a pipeline and who will control it.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trans-Afghanistan_Pipeline

check out where U.S. bases are.

Iraq war more about oil for euros

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Petrodollar_warfare

Libya was the gold dinar

http://rt.com/news/economy-oil-gold-libya/

http://www.thenewamerican.com/economy/markets/item/4630-gadhafi-s-gold-money-plan-would-have-devastated-dollar

Syria is about a pipeline

http://www.wnd.com/2013/09/is-this-what-syria-war-really-about/

http://www.theguardian.com/environment/earth-insight/2013/aug/30/syria-chemical-attack-war-intervention-oil-gas-energy-pipelines

Currently Russia supplies most of the natural gas to Europe, it also has a navel base in Syria.

The world has been making new trade agreements cutting the dollar out of the loop. For 50 plus years we have been exporting our inflation, and importing the wealth of the world. It seems the world has had enough, the brics nations have already formed a bloc that signaled the end of the dollar as the world reserve currency. In 2008 we entered the end of the dollar, QE infinity, and interest rates kept artificially low. I can only see this as buying time to allow for the new system to be introduced, and the impact of the transition to be lessened. The desire for war by the U.S. is due to it being the last tool of what has become an empire.
Lucky for the world it seems other leaders are aware of this. Avoiding the all out conflict, and allowing the U.S. to die of it's own devices.

We as citizens should be paying attention.

Playing Childhood Games

The other day my house mate Matt made an off hand comment that we as a group were really still playing fort, just we did as kids.
         This off hand comment led us to the simplistic notion that we are all really still playing childhood games that we just take more seriously.
         We came up with 3 main interactions, fort, house, and sleepover. Keep in mind these are obviously over simplifications of complex social interactions. That being said lets goof off a bit.

Fort: When people are wanting to play fort, it's a grouping together for protection.
The idea being that outside the fort is dangerous territory, and people outside the fort are not to be trusted.  Primary activities are planning raids into "enemy" territory. Improving the fort, this takes many forms.
Examples of groups playing fort are: gangs, corporations, governments.

Sleep Over: People who's primary mode is playing sleep over are generally looking for emotional support. Main themes include physical beauty, sharing of innermost feelings in a place of safety, and commiseration.   Primary activities include physical appearance improvement, gossip, generally aimed at improving the self image.

House: This is the one most played by "adults", an odd twist being it also the one most mistaken for another. Those playing house often switch to fort, or sleep over mode to hide their true desire to play house. A person playing the masculine role will often drink the kool aid of sleep over hoping it will morph into playing house. Likewise a person playing the feminine role will often show great adroitness at playing fort, while pushing the game toward house.

To close this is a superficial division, we all have a desire to play all aspects at differing points in our development.

Disappointment

          Disappointment is the word that most accurately describes my feeling toward humanity.  When I look at where we are developmentally, I can't help but feeling saddened.   With all the advancements made across the board we are still like children.  Our drive for illusionary security, and control have led to a world most of us would be ashamed of.  We lie, cheat, steal, and kill indiscriminately.

          I see us at a crossroads, we have made the world a very small place. Now we have to learn to live together.  Remembering the words of Ronnie Raygun, how quickly would we put aside our petty differences to face an non terrestrial threat.  Are we like the frog with the water temp being slowly increased?  Are we approaching a tower of babel event? Where we either make the leap to a new understanding of ourselves and our place in creation, or we will need to be slapped back a few developmental steps so we don't have the ability to destroy ourselves.

         We've studied our drive for continuation of species, why has this drive stalled?  Wouldn't our next goal be multiple planets settled?  Wouldn't this be the next logical step to ensure our version of humanity survives?  How many times will be at this point before we learn?

Why Rockets work in a Vacuum

Today I'm gonna give my take on part of a conspiracy theory.
This one deals with the idea of if rockets work in the vacuum of space.

Here are a couple of links for background
http://www.godlikeproductions.com/forum1/message1791934/pg1
http://www.straightdope.com/columns/read/1846/how-do-rockets-work-in-the-vacuum-of-space
http://cluesforum.info/viewtopic.php?f=23&t=1632

The basic idea for the doubters is this.
Space being a virtual vacuum offers nothing for a force to be applied to, as the expanding gas can expand infinitely with no resistance. This makes a situation where no work can be done.
Offered as rebuttal are newtons laws of motion. if you are unfamiliar with these.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Newton's_laws_of_motion

While I agree it is newtons laws of motion being applied, the only thing I found that gave me a reasonable picture of what is happening was the idea of a balloon being inflated, and released. Rockets are a series of explosions, the combustion chamber can be thought of as the balloon. As the gases expand inside the chamber they exert pressure or force on the walls of the chamber. When the chamber is vacated the force is given direction creating trust. So no work is being done against the vacuum, and newtons laws are still being adhered to.

In case you haven't heard

So if you haven't figured it out yet

so what do you think about the freedom of religion now?

Hmm

Ok real quick, this is just to funny to not share.

What The #$%^ am I

         I've seen so much trying to answer this question, much of it garbage. I've worked at becoming detached enough, in an attempt to see myself not from my perspective. Not even from your perspective, as I get I can never really see myself, as others see me. The best I can hope for is a view from the collective ambiguous we. 

         Body, Mind, Spirit am I the area of conjunction between these highly amorphous concepts?  Leaving huge gaps in my perceptions, portions of all 3 like submerged icebergs.  Lurking below and above my awareness. Plumb a little deeper, and all Three start to show themselves to be divisions in name only.

That in all likely hood I no more have my own mind, body or spirit then I have my own planet. If all that is comes from one source, and returns to one source, how does that leave any of us with our own anything?  

         I may very well be a delusion wrapped in a delusion, piles of lies to give comfort. For me the problem has come down to persistence, the best game worlds are those that are still going even when your not paying attention. I've played and played in other realms, no matter how far I might get in mind, or spirit my body is right where I left it. No matter any of the 3 I delve into the other 2 are waiting right where I left them.

       So what am I? I'm not sure it really matters anymore.

Balance of the Anointed

The other day someone pointed me to the Alex Grey picture of Jesus.

At the bottom of this image were these excepts from the gospel of Thomas.

Jesus said "When you make the two one, and when you make the inside like the outside, and the outside like the inside, and the above like the below, and when you make the male and the female one and the same...then you will enter the Kingdom of God."

I've come to think of this as the balance of the anointed one. I'm come to see these in my own way, being an eclectic mix so is my take on this concept.

First I'd like to look at top to bottom, This one has been covered all over the place.

There are few who have heard of the chakra centers. These are what I see as the top to bottom, This is where we get the idea of being heart centered. Here is a video, and you can find as much info as you want with a search

What is meant by making the male, and the female one? For me it points to the hemispheres of the brain. The left hemisphere is very outwardly focused male aspect, driven by logic. While the right hemisphere is an inwardly focused feminine aspect, driven by intuition. There is a twist on a very simple meditation that many people use on a regular basis. The candle meditation, where you pick a spot beyond a candle flame, and see the flame while looking at the spot. This will cause the flame to appear double. I also sometimes do this with just holding my finger out, and looking beyond it while seeing my finger.  This double vision causes both hemispheres of the brain to be active simultaneously. The male and female become one. Here is a nice binural to help in maintaining this balance

Lastly, only because for me this one has been the toughest. Balance your internal and external realities. We all carry around two realities, internal, and external.

For most of us these remain relatively close, meaning the line up fairly well. 

When these don't line up very well all sorts of odd effects manifest. We all run around and make assumptions about the world we see based solely on dialogue running in our minds, this is a form of projection. We all project all the time, we are also projected on by the external world. For me this is where the being as little children is very handy. Children accept things as they are, they have no preconceived notions, they lack the experience to project.

please keep in mind I profess no religion, or do I say I actually know anything.

Lie to Me

I'm a liar, I can't help it. I lie to you, and I lie to myself. My own senses lie to me all the time. Nothing I see is really how I perceive it. The colors I see are never the color of what I'm seeing. Even allowing the senses their foibles, my mind will erase, and paint in items.
       Everything about the place we find ourselves is designed to make me believe it's the end all be all.  So I'm going to lie to myself by default, and lie to you the same way. Lets forget about the fact that our being here together has to be a lie.
Instead how about we take a look just at my own internal processes.   Most of us are incapable of being honest even with themselves.  We have trouble taking responsibility for our part in the events of our lives.  We tell lies to make ourselves feel better. We tell lies to protect others feelings, which is still just to make things easier on ourselves.
       So I'm going to lie to you, and your going to lie to me.

Thank you

Free? Will? hahah!!!!

Heyas, gonna talk a bit about free, and will today. 

If you accept a creator deity that is omnipotent, omnipresent, and omniscient, it would follow that your "freewill" is an illusion. You really have no choice, if what your choice will be is known before you choose.

I'd rather not get stuck on this point, as it really doesn't get to the heart of freedom, or will. Free will is an amazingly oxymoronic idea. Free nothing that has a physical existence is free. The idea of for every action there is an equal and opposite reaction comes to mind.  Free is never free, there is always a price, even if you have trouble directly seeing it.  Within the bounds of a finite creation, we create nothing. We move things around, combine them in novel ways, but we take what is there already, and re-purpose. 

As for will it might be the most expensive of "freedoms" we ever exercise.

Will is something that is imposed, it is violent by nature. In exercising will I am saying I am the instigator,  I am the source, I know what has to happen. 

There is so much to these concepts, I could tap away and never scratch the surface.

I'm going to impose my will on creation and see where it leads

Be Good, or else!!!

There is nothing either good or bad but thinking makes it so.

William Shakespeare

I love this quote, it so clearly demonstrates the role our own perception plays in creating our experience of our reality.
I sometimes like to stress this point with the idea "Hitler woke up everyday thinking he was doing the right thing".

I'm not saying I endorse anything, your own moral compass must always be your guide, Just don't  get it twisted into thinking that your perception of a thing makes it so.

Living on the Edge

Take a look at these photos

That is the earth seen from the moon. 

How about this one

That little blue dot made so famous by Carl Sagan when this video came out.

How fragile is this little ball we find ourselves inhabiting. How precarious our existence, Even going more then a mile from the surface we come to an environment not conducive to our life.  

        Everyone you know, everyone you love. every song, every thought, every horror show has happened in this little carved out niche. We know with certainty our beautiful little home is going to die. It's not a matter of if, only a matter of when. Our destruction maybe remote in the terms most of think, I tell you in the grand scheme it's not even a blink. Ronny Raygun once talked about the need of an outside threat to bring humanity into unity. The thought that it would take someone else to fight before we are able to understand our unity pains me. I see so much wonder and joy waiting in potential for us. All we need do is recognize it.

The transience of existence is where I live. The idea that I have come from the void is a comfort. Vomited forth like one half of a particle pair in the reaches of space.  Spinning through a so called life, front side seats to the burning of Rome.
This is the darkness in my soul, the insane burden I place on this thing I call self.
I know less and less with each passing moment, the sum of human knowledge growing exponentially, my portion shrinking in relation.
        Still I wonder how can we have allowed this paradise to become so jaded, so lost in the idea of persistent reality. The comfort of illusory security locking out the boogyman.  We hand over our power without a thought if the systems are really designed for our benefit. Even those that wake up enough to start asking questions rarely stop to think if they have enough information to even make an informed choice.
        When was the last time most of actually read our constitution? How about asking the questions about our money. Ever ask where it comes from, how it's value is determined? Most of us never ask questions that may throw into doubt the life we are engaged in. Do you ever question your motivations? We have all to one degree or another invested into the existence we share. It is that very investment that becomes the trap. We can no longer question the validity of what we have invested in, or risk losing our investment.
      I am insane, and stupid, I question everything, even my own existence.

Nothing doesn't exist in the universe we see

Almost all of us have grown up the idea of 0, the empty set, nothing.

Fewer of us go any further then that, we don't stop to see where this concept came from, and don't get it twisted it's an idea. There is no such thing as nothing in nature. Zero may well be the greatest single achievement in recorded human history, it may well be one the least truly understood.

check out a few links for some background if your interested.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/0_(number)

http://www.scientificamerican.com/article.cfm?id=what-is-the-origin-of-zer

http://yaleglobal.yale.edu/about/zero.jsp

For me it's the concept of nothing, no where do we look do we find nothing.

Even things we describe as being empty are far from it. When you pour a glass of water, your not really filling it, your displacing one thing with another denser thing. Even the misnamed vacuum of space is only a relative vacuum.

I would take this even farther as I've explained in an early blog about the LoA .

That using the idea of the void is the trigger to to cause the machine like aspect of all that is to find something to fill it.

How long till the NWO?

So much has been written about the idea of a global take over by the banking cartel. I've written several posts about the problems with our global financial system. Seeing we're already in what most people consider fantasy land. Why don't we indulge a bit farther, and see what would have to happen for the citizens of the U.S. to submit to a global government.

http://www.slideshare.net/hxmhxm/list-of-the-rothschild-owned-central-banks-of-the-world

If you do a little research it starts to look like time for end game.

There are very few states left that haven't privatized their banking.

The big ones would be Iran, Cuba, North Korea, and Venezuela.

Kinda nice how that lines up with the most demonized countries in western media.

Makes for great story telling.

So barring a global cataclysm, or an external global threat. How would you go about breaking the spirit of the people who view themselves as being on the top.

Keeping in the mind that it's bankers plot we are cooking up, how about this.

The power of the dollar has been maintained not through sound policy, but through being the global trade currency, and the global empire of the day. Many might say the U.S. is not an empire, but the 200+ bases all over the globe beg to differ.

So what would happen if say BRICS were to make a new global currency?

What would happen to the dollar? 

The U.S would go the way of the Weimer Republic and hyperinflation, or deflation.

I see things a bit differently, we have recently seen arguably the greatest transfer of wealth in history. So, we've had fiat debt traded for real world wealth. Now Imagine what would happen to the already fragile world economy if the U.S. began to default?

I kinda like this one, the chaos caused would be perfectly well suited for a new shining global currency to save the day. 

I guess it's not if, but when, and how the dollar fails.

The NWO is already here, they are actually almost done.

Are you Staring at the Screen?

This is and isn't a trick question.

We as humans are in a very odd predicament. We accept our reality because of the information our senses provide us. This is where we get start to slide a bit sideways. We know our senses can not only be tricked, they can lie to us. We know that the fundamental forces that shape our reality are to a large extent invisible to the very senses we are using to try to describe our reality.

A fairly easy analogy is our computers.
Think of this scenario.  Joey is playing world of warcraft, or any game really.
Billy walks in the room, motions toward the screen, and asks the question,
"Whats that?".
Joey answers "that is a monitor"

Billy responds "asshole"

Of course we know the answer Billy wants is the name of the game. not the actual object he is motioning toward.
Many of you might even be saying this is nit-picky bs.
But lets take a quick look a bit deeper.

Even as Joey most of us even knowing that the monitor is merely the output, It's the  flashing lights, and color to keep you mesmerized. It's the computers version of Maya, the illusion being played out before your eyes.
It's the end product, the input is else where, the processing is else where.
Most of it isn't even happening locally, it's happening in some magical remote place you will more then likely never see.

This isn't so different then how we deal with the world.
We are so dazzled by our senses we don't stop to understand the reality we observe is like the images on the screen. Most of what shapes it below or above our awareness. We have been dazzled by the colors.
We are looking at the output, and labeling it the thing itself.

World War 3, When, If, How?

I had a stray thought the other day, and it seems the more I ponder a decent case can be made that world war 3 started even before world war 2 ended.

First lets take a look at the definition of war

http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/war

We even had to coin a new phrase "cold-war"

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cold_War

So right there we can show a state of war existed almost immediately as WW2 ended. If we scratch a little deeper the roots of this new conflict were in place well before.

http://edsitement.neh.gov/curriculum-unit/origins-cold-war-1945-1949

So here we can see pretty clearly the seeds for the new conflict were sown far earlier.
If your not familiar with The Bretton Woods agreement take a look.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bretton_Woods_system

In 1971 when Nixon decoupled the dollar from gold fully, causing currencies pegged to the dollar for value to become free floating.
This set the stage for currency wars, which are numerous and ongoing.
Here are a few links if you need some examples of currency wars.

http://www.cnbc.com/id/100808721
http://www.creditwritedowns.com/2013/06/india-let-the-rupee-fall-and-enter-the-currency-wars.html
http://www.financialmirror.com/news-details.php?nid=30269

Resource wars
This one is pretty obvious, and we can see it the foreign policies of every developed nation.

http://www.policymic.com/articles/31361/the-coming-resource-wars-between-america-china-and-japan

Now we have Cyber warfare

This one is wide open, and we become increasingly dependent on computers we obviously become more vulnerable to this type of warfare.

http://www.reuters.com/article/2013/06/07/us-usa-cyberwar-
idUSBRE95608D20130607

So World War 3?

As long as we have a belief in direct opposition, we will always have conflict.
These are wars of ideology in the end. The desire to tell other people how to live.

No matter the type of global conflict, the real losers will always be the ordinary men, and women swept along by the tide to be dashed against the rocks.

If there is a Conspiracy should we stop it?

Heya Folks, Today I'm gonna play with my own mind a bit.

So many people today have heard some version of the conspiracy theory "New World Order", or something similar involving a one world government.

Lets suppose it's true, that we have groups that have been working toward this end.
Is this really such a bad idea?

By our own scale we are still a stage 0 civilization.
In order to progress to stage 1, global resource management is a must.

The real question isn't do we need a single global government, but who is going to be running it.

I end up asking myself, As a world, how long would it be before the next chance at global unification.

So even though this may be an attempt to turn the worlds population into slaves, can we afford to stop it?
If we stop it will our civilization survive?

I don't really have any good answers.
maybe someone else does

Thinker or the Idea?

I had a conversation with mom the other day, I ended up cutting it short.
We were talking about the IRS, and I was saying that it's likely it's not a part of our government.
This is a big leap for most people, I get that, so I don't really expect anyone to believe me.
Actually I expect people to be highly resistant to most of the ideas I have.
What I found I could not except was the switch from attacking the idea to attacking me.  
I found myself very frustrated by this. Not that the idea wasn't accepted but that I was on something, or crazy for even entertaining it.
Don't misunderstand, I am fully aware how many of my thoughts can construed as "crazy".
I just don't expect it to be the recourse of people close to me.

At the point when discussion turned from the idea to me, none involved were listening anymore.  They had decided that this particular line of thought was to beyond the pale to even be considered. I on the other hand was stung by an attack on my reasoning abilities. So I backed away as quickly as possible.

I didn't handle it as well as I would have liked.
Live and learn

Surprised by Spying

I am at a loss on this one. I mean sure I'm a touch concerned about my own government is spying on everyone. I'm just not surprised at all by it.

I mean really this is a country that you can argue has lied, and manipulated it's people into conflicts going back at least to world war 2. This is a government willing to use drones to drop bombs on targets in sovereign nations against their express wishes.  

It seems to me the U.S. government has shown at every turn, there are no limits.

There are no acts to heinous in the defense of liberty.

When you give up your rights in favor of security, you get what the people you gave your freedoms to decide.

So if your surprised by the U.S. spying, and collecting data on everyone, I'd say same on you!

We haven't been fooled once, or even twice, we are willfully ignorant to the crimes our government commits in our name

Is Creation a Zero Sum Game

Much I've read about this defines "zero sum game" as in order for you to get ahead you have to take from someone else. 

While in essence it is an accurate statement, most of us don't run in such small circles. Most of us would be hard pressed to find who we are taking from.

This doesn't mean the idea of zero sum is wrong, just the data set being examined is to small.

From a physics perspective the positive energy is virtually cancelled out by the negative energy, leaving us with a value of zero for the energy of the known universe. Even Einstein with his famous e=m*c2 is hinting at a zero sum creation, where all that can be done is the transforming energy to matter, and back again.

When we look at economics so many will argue that I don't have to take from anyone to get ahead, and I'd agree with them to a point.

The problem here is our money system itself, it's not a zero sum system. If it was we would be in much better shape. No we don't even add up to zero in our economy, we actually are negative. When you take the value for all outstanding debt, and try to match it with our resources, and assets we end up so far in the red it's laughable.  debt clock check that out for a giggle, that only represents a part of what we have been convinced we owe. Start looking at the derivatives and zero is looking really nice.

All of this is fine and dandy, but do I mean when I say it's a zero sum game?

Simply this, By all we can tell physically we exist in a finite universe, when you have a finite whole you are in a zero sum game. Though it may turn out it's kinda like perpetual motion. It's not the holy grail true perpetual motion we need, it's only a version that in relation to us it might as well be. I mean does our solar system ever wind down, and stop spinning? Of course it will, but will it take long enough as to be effectively perpetual for our uses?

From another perspective, it is a physically zero sum, while experiential the gains of a lifetime may be unfathomable.

As Obiwan once said

"Your going to find many of the truths we cling to, rely heavily on our perspective"

that is prolly a bit of a paraphrase, but you get the gist.

Don't ask questions you don't want the answers to

Seeing, Is it Believing?

Recently I was asked by a friend how we see color.  This turned into a discussion on how we see in general, and I realized how many people don't really understand how their senses function.

So how do we see?
We see a reflection, What we actually are seeing is the light that was not absorbed by the object we are looking at.
So nothing we see is actually how we see it.
When we see a certain color, it's because the other colors of the spectrum were absorbed, and the color we see was reflected.

This leads me to the idea of our own time.

We don't really share the same moment. The closer we get in physical space the closer to the same moment we become. I guess I should qualify that.
What I mean is due to the time delay, regardless of how small it is. I am in my own time. The things I sense have already happened.
The same can be said of other senses.


Whats the point?
For me it's handy to keep in mind, so I remember my senses are by design lying to me.

Abdication of Responsibility by the Body Politic

So often I hear the phrase "I'm not political" or "I have no interest in politics".
While I understand why people have this view point, and in fact share it.
Being the watchdogs of our representatives is the top priority of every citizen.

As Americans we long ago abdicated our responsibility. As a citizen body we have lost sight of the connections between the decisions being made in their name, and the impact they have on our day to day lives.

Take a look at this executive order enacted by George Bush Sr.
Executive Order 12803

In this we see that in April of 1992 we put up for sale every piece of infrastructure completely or partially funded by the government.
Some will argue that the private sector is able to manage these assets more efficiently. I'd ask this, if our government is unable to run a bridge, or tunnel, or water supply, how can it possibly run our country efficiently, or effectively.

A major factor in this would be how complex the wording of every piece of legislation has become.

I don't have an easy solution for this, just an awareness that if we don't watch our representatives we shouldn't be surprised when they pass legislation we oppose.

The Joker, Wildcard, and Anarchy

Be the Joker, you are the wildcard, and Anarchy is only chaos when you look at it from to close.

What do I mean by be the joker?

The joker is the card of the deck not played with, and when it is, it can be any card.

So what I'm talking about here is
Being in the world but not of it.
Choosing in the moment your role.
Becoming it fully
Shedding it when it no longer serves

Approaching life in this way enables you to reexamine the roles you play in others dramas, as well as the roles they play in yours. Allowing you to see if these roles really serve in your development.

Spinning a New Conspiracy Tale

Good Morning.

Today I'm gonna tell a story. Some aspects of the story as based in "historical fact".  Other parts are just some connections I've drawn for the sheer joy of it.

Most of you know, a good portion of the founding fathers of the USA were Masons. Most of you have also at least heard about the idea of a few families controlling the worlds banking system. Slightly less well known, the revolution being fought not over taxation, and representation, but over the control, and printing of currency. 

Now the Federal Reserve is the 3rd incarnation of a privately owned/controlled central bank in the US. The first 2 were dissolved, as it was recognized the loss of sovereignty suffered when a private entity owned, and controlled your money supply.

So here is my concept for a plausible domination of the US.

The US wins the revolution, The Masonic dream of a nation of their own is realized. This was quickly followed quickly by the shadow banking cartel taking over the money system, and by default ownership of the nation. This was done through the 1st, and 2nd banks of the united states, and then established to dominance with the Fed. The beauty of this plot is being able to leave the established government in place. In many cases even the members of the government are aware of the coup. Then in 1953 "In God We Trust" was added to the notes. Many have used the symbols on the dollar to show the masonic connection. The Phrase actually completes the joke, people have come to trust the money/banks above all. Now with 3 words the Masons had provided a clue, and a warning. 

Just a little fun, poke it full of holes so I can rework it.

Centers of Perception

How am I going to define centers of perception?

By one view we each have a higher/middle/lower self, or maybe you'd prefer the labels id/ego/superego, how about reptilian/mammalian/neo-cortex. Why not expand that a bit. How about the chakra points? Couldn't they be perceptions centers?  Each of these centers think, maybe not in the way we generally qualify thinking. Perhaps a more accurate statement would be they perceive and react to stimulation in their environment. Many people can understand this quite easily in the in the phrase "the heart wants, what the heart wants".

          

This is all well and good, everything working as intended. What I am interested in is the integration of these centers as a whole. I constantly about people saying they want to overcome their "lower nature", or They have moved out of "lower vibrations". All that is happening in these instances is, you ignore the perceptions you are uncomfortable with, or that conflict with another center you view in a more positive way. Just because you ignore, repress, or a deny a perception center, doesn't make it poof and go away. More often it finds expression in ways becoming increasingly out of harmony with the centers you are paying attention to.

Yes once again I am talking about awareness. Becoming aware of how each center operates. Denying or repressing a center often will cause that center to spin out of balance, causing problems that if not attended to will manifest in a physical way.

These uncontrolled discharges are often detrimental.

Listen to the messages, be able to apply your discernment to all your centers.

Become one.

Hierarchies and You

When I mention the word Hierarchy many of you will think of power structures, and the many Hierarchies in your own life. Some will rail against the very idea of something, or someone having power over them.
Simple idea, all Hierarchical structures started with intent of bringing equality.
It many have been a narrow vision of what equality means, but this was the intent.
The true job of any Hierarchy is to make itself obsolete. Raise it's members to the level of the highest.
This is all well and good, sounds like a pretty idea.
There is a flaw, this idea starts from a place of everyone having the same potential. It is very idea of equality in physical existence gumming up the works.
We all come in with our own expressed potentials. We are all crazy super computers doing on the fly calculations of amazing complexity. Does this mean we are equally capable of becoming mathematicians?  We all could, but some would be going counter to their soul true expression within the context of this incarnation.

So how does this change the Hierarchy equation?
It makes the role of the Hierarchy to raise each in accordance to their abilities.
Looks like it's not at all.

International Banking Cartels, Know Who Owns You!!!!

So I'm gonna talk about our money again. I know it's not as entertaining as most of comes out of my head, but it might be the most important.

I get frustrated by the lack of understanding on how our currency system works.
I stayed away from using the word economy, cuz we don't really have "an economy". We have a free market system. This is all well and good, till you allow private interests to control the money supply.
Once you have private money creation with interest, it's all over.

Here are a few video's that go into some of the history.

Keep in mind as best as I can find there are only 3 countries left in the world without at the very least privately controlled central bank.

I can only characterize this as legalized Ponzi scheme.

A Couple of Questions about Dark Matter

Heya Folks, I've been thinking alot about mass, gravity, and of course dark matter.
As always take everything I write with a grain of salt.

When you start to read about dark matter, you come across two major reasons for it's creation.

First is there must be something holding things together as the outside edges of solar systems, and galaxies rotate at the same rate as the inner edge. Leading to the idea that they should spin themselves apart.
Ok this makes sense to me if our solar system looks like this

When the center is stationary, and all the other bodies whirring around it, sure. I can buy we should fly apart. that the pull of gravity would weaken as you went outward on a plane from the sun.
The problem is, this image is only accurate from a certain perspective.
This takes no account of the suns movement, a more accurate version would look like this

This changes what would have to be taking place. The sun moves really fast, 486,000 mph or 782,000 kph roughly.
What does this mean?
it means our local gravitational center is moving, this movement through the fabric of space/time is what causes gravity. The mass of the sun warps this fabric as it pass through, causing an effect I've come to think of as "it's always downhill to the sun". It's important to take note that the suns direction of movement is close to a 90 degree angle to the planetary orbits. So essentially we are falling toward a point that is itself moving.
That changes everything, no longer is there any reason for a solar system or galaxy to spin itself apart, as all the parts are falling toward a center point, not spinning around one.

Now for the second reason we are told dark matter was invented, The Missing Mass problem.
We are told we can seem to find most of the mass of the universe, some numbers put the missing amount as high as 96%. We are finding some of it in celestial bodies we previously lacked the understanding to detect.
I'd say much of the missing mass is in the motion. There is a fabric of space/time this fabric would make up more of the universe then what we think of as matter. All matter is moving through this fabric, as it does so it picks up energy from this fabric, Much like throwing a baseball causes it to pick up energy, effectively increasing it's mass as long as it keeps moving.

So dark matter?
if it didn't exist before it does now

there is so much more this leads me, like polarization, a big concept for me is currently fractal recursive geometry.

Lol like my minds not warped enough.

If your so smart, Why are you poor?

This is a question I've heard more then once. First I'm not smart, I'm an idiot. I have my perspective, and it may differ from yours, but it's not smarter or more complete, just different.

That isn't really the question I'm being asked. I'm really being asked is, "why I don't use my skills/knowledge to get ahead of others?"

I've been rolling this one around for a bit. What I came to was this.

I look at our system and there is little incentive for me to participate, anymore then I have to.

What I mean here is I see our economic/monetary system as a scam. Scams are only fun when your running them, like being in on the joke. So I almost have a block to the accumulation of Money.

Simply put, Money is an abstract thing, so it's doesn't trigger the covetous emotions an actually tangible thing would.
