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.

I am Insane, and Stupid, How about You?

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.

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.
