Dichotomy: Self vs. Others

“To be, or not to be, that is the question:
Whether 'tis Nobler in the mind to suffer
The Slings and Arrows of outrageous Fortune,
Or to take Arms against a Sea of troubles,
And by opposing end them: to die, to sleep
No more; and by a sleep, to say we end
The Heart-ache, and the thousand Natural shocks
That Flesh is heir to?”

Vanity. Is that not what the point of Hamlet’s words were?

Perhaps or perhaps not.. Depending on your perception of the problem, the problem itself can take on a meaning that is never explained by facts. Just as the denial of one’s own propensities makes an individual foolish in the eyes of others and is a blinding arrogance, also is the ignorance caused by selfishness.

Vanity is rather simple. Anything that only prevails in the short term or anything that serves to destroy what is good is vanity. Sometimes I prefer to use the word meretricious instead of vanity, because it accurately describes the perception of something good that is really a deception. I earnestly believe that the smallest joys in life are long term and that the greatest glories witnessed in this Universe are a testament to something much greater. Prevalent is the ideology, “For the greater Good”. However, mediocre is the response to endure suffering, misfortune, or victimization. Yet society tells us that anything else is cowardice, destitution, arrogance. By what comparison can such secular claims be substantiated when everyone has the right path, as if there is no danger to all the paths?

If it appears that I’m asking loading questions then it must also appear that I’m generalizing a concept based on dissonance. There is a lot of truth to that, especially in light of my personal opinion regarding the pursuit of moral high-ground within the flood of debauchery that penetrates a heart hardened by the environment. I sympathize with any human, even the privileged. However, I’m not privy to gullibility by believing a one-sided story as the conclusion of a twist in a real-life plot. My silence is not because I am without an opinion or wisdom, it is because the ears to hear my words are not able to discern what they hear. I find it very difficult to juggle between objectivity and empathy when admonishment and a second opinion is nigh, even if it means respect for me is lost. A fool can not understand the words of the wise, because the fool can not understand what separates them from the wise until the fool learns the folly of their ways.

I have no proposition or philosophy to bring a solution that isn’t the words of others. I have the choice to talk about what I think, all day long, but I don’t have the option of making sense to those my words are intended to reach. This is because I am not able to cause conviction of hearts or enlighten souls. I can do my part to help plant the seed, but the increase comes from elsewhere. This doesn’t mean it is any less difficult to accept my limitations even though I do not bow down to the limitations.

I could just spell everything out, but I am appealing to those who can’t accept the truth and those who believe the truth comes in many forms. In time I will spell things out concisely and without hesitation. However, I fear of that time because it will be evident that a gentle whisper must become a deafening roar.

What I suggest to any individual is the relinquishment of control. The fact of reality is that we have no control, outside of the self. We are born without choice, we are subjected to many things without choice, and we can fight to the death to manifest our own will. However, all must realize the cold, hard truth that the most basic principle to human existence is that we must make choices that affect us personally and also others.

Certainly there is a false dichotomy. Humanity is symbiotic to the planet and also within itself. The most obvious conclusion is to maintain a universal essence of some kind, be it through virtues or domination. What we aren’t told is that there is no hope in this world that is by the power of humanity. No man, woman, child, invention, or principle can change that. That is why the greatest hope is not found through the intricacies of sophistication or interconnected consciousness. Prolonging the inevitable is coping, which isn’t a cure. If there is any hope for humanity, it is beyond the power of the universe; humanity is the immovable object and the Universe is an unstoppable force that have collided. Humanity may have a great gift of being unique from the rest of it’s surroundings, but it is humanity’s perception that must change because it is humanity that desperately needs hope.

I have found that hope, along with billions of others. The fight isn’t over, because billions more need to awaken and see the light. Yet no one will see the light if they do not feel it’s warmth from those who hold it in their hands.

Halcyon Dreams Left A Scar

hal·cy·on Adjective /ˈhalsēən/ 
Synonyms:adjective: quiet, calm, placid, tranquil, still, peaceful,serene, composed, restful, quiescent, smooth,reposeful, pacific, stilly

1. Denoting a period of time in the past that was idyllically happy and peaceful

Dreaming is a powerful experience of a living creature. During times of rest, the mind doesn't slow down to a halt and neither does the body. In most cases, the mind and body become very active in a much different way than the woken hours. Experiencing dreams is sometimes euphoric or frightening. Learning important principles or having a life-changing epiphany can happen within a dream. For some people experiencing a lucid dream is what changes their perception of fundamental principles or overlooked concepts. For others it is the inability to control the mind and thus be subjected to the greatest obstacles of the subconscious which creates a new platform of character development and intuitive insight.
My dreams are a distorted version of reality, mixed with my imagination, ambition, fantasy, and fear.

There is another type of dreaming that doesn't take place during the sleeping hours of our existence, it is akin to where we develop our ideas of the future and how we desire reality to become as time passes. This is a visualization process that has a profound power over the present and can influence the course of emotions because of success or failures in regards to manifesting what isn't the present reality.
Some people call it ambition, some call it fantasy, some go so far as to call it delusion. However, what each individual wishes for reality is sometimes just a matter of inevitability and others it is a matter of the impossible, improbable, and far-fetched.

This world teaches, through media and story telling, that the impossible is just a matter of circumstance. Either you are not born into the right family, you aren't gifted with the right talents, or you haven't worked hard enough towards your aspirations. It is much more common to that there are conditions to these aspirations because of conditioning to dream only as high as our predecessors have gone. Which is why it is so common to hear children speak of being in a position that someone else has aspired to.
Perhaps robbing a child of their imagination is when they only try to aspire to heights that have already been traversed. The magnitude of the raw-dreamer is lost at the base of the mountains that should only be a platform for reaching beyond the stars. At worse, maturity brings a sense of realism that is detrimental to the once limitless imagination. Instead of freedom in thought, there is slavery in emotion.

Breaking free of the perpetual spiral of survival is more than enlightenment, it is a journey towards a total transformation of being.
Does the caterpillar know what it's metamorphosis within the cocoon will be like or what the result will reveal? This is the heritage of the caterpillar that is instilled to the next generation. Maybe if the caterpillar were brought down to reality, told not to store up for itself for the coming days because of anxiety of statistical probability of survival, the caterpillar would refuse to make it's cocoon to begin the mysterious process of transformation. What a sad story it would be if that caterpillar were in love with another caterpillar and was left behind because it's love refused to obey the synthetic anxiety of fear of the unknown and thus trusted instinct and natural function instead. Spinning a cocoon as do the other caterpillars and becoming something out of reach to her could-be mate.
If the doubting caterpillar is anything like a human, there would be a point of no return, mentally. A point where the caterpillar is so set in it's ways that it refuses to observe reality for what it is, because pride and arrogance have falsely become safety and reassurance.

Arguably there are plenty of people who live life as if it is nothing more than a dream, even a nightmare.
What are we people robbed from other than the chance of perfection?
I do not subscribe to the ideology that vibrating to the right frequency will manifest a life of bliss. In fact, I think the more an individual finds parts of 'perfection' the more that individual is subjected to the darkness that rules this world from behind the scenes. If that seems far fetched, then look at the proud and celebrated people of popularity; their lives mean so much one day yet they are destitute by tomorrow. Short lived, vanity at it's plateau? Not really.. However, a great example of the unreliability of the material 'goodness' in which they aspire to. A fairy tale dream that really says, "Happily ever NOW"

This conclusion comes with dire implications as well as a heartfelt grief for all who suffer.
We don't live in our dreams, our dreams don't live without us. Because of our finite attribute as individuals and the enormous variance of desires, should we not gather as a race and aspire to a common character?
I think the answer is more than yes.. It shouldn't just be a word response, it should be an emotional upheaval that has a shout that's great enough to shake the mountains and the foundation they sit on.
Until that day, I'll be standing tall in the depths of the abyss, reaching out beyond the stars while respecting my limitations. Because I know it is not by my own manifestation that I exist. Therefore, it will not only be by my own will that I succeed.
Join me, least our dreams be nothing more than a scar we want to heal.

Same Name, Different Game

Real, Realistic, and Reality.

These are of the same essence just like a Man, Woman, and Child are Human.

Different purposes achieving a common goal even though there are different roles.

Who has heard of the impossible triangle of business? 

It goes by different names, but the principle doesn't change.

The fundamental basis is three categories and how profit is tough to maintain if they all connect.

Essentially it is: Cost, Speed, Quality.

The principle could be put into an engineering principle of Thermodynamics of any system.

However, unlike physics, the business model displays a clear desire to maximize everything while putting in hardly anything and coming out with a profit.

Sounds familiar in regards to most corporate manufacturing processes, I think.

It may seem easy in theory, but the difficulty arises in the face of competition. The reason why is because sometimes someone just wants something cheaper, or faster, or higher quality. Picking one of the three attributes without caring much for the other two.

If it's hard to understand, consider how the Fast Food business is.

Sure, you have your speed and the cost is low.. The quality however, is horrific to the eye and even to other parts of the body. This is not consistent to every fast-food chain, but some sacrifice a bit of speed to give quality (which it may just be slow but it's more satisfactory). In fact, some maintain speed and quality, but sacrifice low cost. Then on  the far side of the food spectrum are those who sacrifice speed and cost for the sake of highest quality (ironically, nature does this very thing for good reasons).

Before I make my point confounded for the sake of explaining a concept, I'll wrap this explanation up.

This triangle is a juggling experience. Balance can be obtained, but the glory of the juggle itself is achieved when a lack of balance doesn't lead to catastrophic consequences. Which, in the business sense, leads to forfeiture of customer loyalty, business integrity, and economic longevity.

When I brought up Real, Realistic, and Reality I was suggesting the impossible triangle.

The reason why the triangle is impossible, in this case, is because of a 3 dimensional aspect.

If you thought I was confounding my point, then realize now I'm stepping into the realm of higher cognitive processing. This should come easy to anyone who can entertain themselves with their imagination, otherwise I suggest getting something to draw with. Because this is simple geometrical conceptualization. I should be able to nail this within one paragraph.

What's real is reality, but that doesn't make it realistic; neither is it harmful or beneficial. It isn't the future, but it was present even though it is in the past. What's realistic is real, but that doesn't make it reality; neither is it necessary or harmful. It isn't the present, but it is in the future and the present. What's reality is real, but that doesn't make it realistic; neither is it beneficial or necessary. It is the present, but it will be in the past.

That must be tough to understand, I don't care how intuitive you think you are. Because this concept requires more than thinking outside of the box, it requires thinking outside the sphere that contains the box. In fact, language is a barrier for this concept because I have to structure my English properly while sacrificing concepts in order to maintain visualization.

Geez.. The triangle strikes again!

Maybe we shouldn't call it a triangle since the crux is maintaining equilateral distance?

So now the point, if I haven't lost you to the abyss of confusion.

How do we humans, equipped with the greatest quantum computer (yes, it is. Scientists are agreeing that the complexity of the brain is in the far, far higher realms of quantum processing) on his planet, delegate equilateral 'fairness' to the impossible triangle, so that it is very much possible?

I don't 'feel' it is impossible, I believe that the problem is solely of complexity.

Then again.. Complex, vague, esoteric.. Same Name, Different Game. 

Grand Candle Light

The light of a candle is subtle and useful.
Candle light is not blinding to the eyes, yet candle light provides enough light to illuminate a path.
Limits of a candle are only by the imagination and flammable objects.

Darkness can cover the face of all objects with such intensity that they seem devoured by it, but one candle light makes the darkness flee from its presence. Though the candle light can only push the darkness away in proportion to the strength of its light.
How ironic it is that a Flood light, sucking up a hundred times more energy to create its blinding brilliance, is unable to make an effect that is proportionate to its use of energy. In fact, the only true difference is that the things revealed in darkness by a flood light are a bit clearer to see.

The life of the righteous has never been marked by their intensity or their energy. Their subtle endurance to keep the darkness at bay, providing a gentle and revealing essence of the world around. However, some people may want to see all the nasty details of the world around them for some reason. Thus they use a flood light with a microscope. Perhaps they believe this is the path to Truth?

Anything that reveres darkness is quick to squelch light, be it the flood light or the candle light. To them, the only difference between the two is how to snuff the light. Between the two, the most profound difference is that the flood light can not perpetuate its existence endlessly. The candle light, though humble in appearance and seemingly meaningless to the bigger picture, is capable of multiplying.. Perhaps into a raging inferno that engulfs everything that was hidden in the darkness.

How surprising it is when someone gazes upon a candle light and the only thing they can do is mock its subtle nature. A lack of appreciation for the timeless advantages it's provided and a lack of understanding of its hidden rage.

"Shine bright, little candle light" Says the mockery of those enjoying the darkness.
"My blight! From one little candle light!" Screams the mockers when all is ablaze by that one little light.

The fright of the might of the candle light in the night to unite with pyrite from sinful blight...


When did those creatures in the darkness forget that things die without the light?
Surrounding themselves with the shame of fodder, the fuel for that blaze when it started around their feet.
Had anyone even realized that they were walking on the strength of the rage of that little candle?
Just like a forest floor covered with the past, dead to the world and ready for burning.

If only those in darkness could respect the light.. Those surrounded in darkness and forced to walk in it are never so arrogant to knock over the candle light. Even when they are laid down to sleep, before that candle light is snuffed because it served its purpose, they share that little candle light to others who use it as a guide.

If the flood light could fathom the power within the little flame of the candle light, it would quiver in fear of the destruction it can bring if not respected. Isn't it a shame it is arrogant enough to spout its artificial light everywhere?
How is this any different from those who spout their righteousness everywhere like a flood light, blinding everyone who is still in shrouded in darkness, causing them to fear the light instead of respecting its goodness?

Ahhhh...
The Grand Candle Light.
A beautiful sight when many are gathered together.

Vanity Under the Sun

There is a saying that the vanity of human life is best expressed by the lack of profit to eternally enjoy, all of it from our labor under the sun. The idea is that human hands are worked to the bone for profit, of some kind, yet nothing is kept beyond death. In many cases, an entire life is spent acquiring something materialistic. Some people believe this pursuit to be an absolute necessity to reap profit, some believe reincarnation to be the manner of profit and each life time to be a pursuit to an even greater goal, and some simply don't know what to think. I fall into the category of people who see death as the end to this life, but not the end of life (I don't believe in reincarnation into a new life in this world). There is one other view that is not commonly expressed that deserves more attention than the views of what is after death, because it defines the value of things while we're still alive, persuaded to believe we can reap our rewards. This view relates to the temporal understanding of birth to death; it isn't based on gender, nationality, culture, or creed. The view relates to the mannerisms of any individual and it influences any and all pursuits. From here an individual can determine the nature of sincerity as well as the long-term importance of their actions and/or goals.
I am speaking of the Vanity Under the Sun.

I am a strong believer in the nature of living life for the better of the human race, be it that you start with your family or with the community. I am not an aspiring guru of some Spiritual philosophy and I am not aiming to be a priest of some religious sect. I am just pointing out something obvious that shouldn't be reserved for philosophy. It is a way of life, it is a determining factor that explains the point of life, and there is no substitute for this unless there is an open objection to any kind of absolute. That is because the vanity found in life is not because life is vain, it is because people live vainly. They can only see the forest and not the trees; shortsighted and selfish is only the tip of the iceberg and it is by no means the only manner of delineation between good character and evil.

What is vanity?
Out of all the ways to use the word, it isn't always a bad thing, but in this case I am using the meaning of futility and worthlessness. I am going so far as to point out the highest degree of depravity that an individual can experience. It is in the order of a Rich man in a Mercedes pulling up to a homeless man, giving them seventeen cents and telling that homeless man that is all they have to give, hoping to get a response of thanks for their charitable deed. Now doesn't that sound depraved of any humility or genuine compassion?
Take a closer look though and you may be surprised of what the possibilities are, that tell you otherwise.
The vanity is not in the thankfulness of the homeless man, or the act of giving from the rich man.
The vanity could be said to be in the hope of the rich man not being perceived as a liar, a hypocrite, and a haughty accessory in the eyes of the homeless man; or even worse, not being those things in the eyes of whatever higher authority that rich man may perceive as the judge of his supposed righteousness.
We can say that the vanity is that the rich man was being arrogant. Yet we could assert he really was broke at the time and wanted to give instead of make excuses. How far can we go if we can even say that none of it matters because that rich man is the head of a charity organization and happens to work at the local homeless shelter on the weekends so his act was to establish rapport. Do you see it yet?
The vanity isn't in the story itself, it's in us as we listen to the story. 
Isn't it fun that the vanity of understanding the meaning of the story yields an understanding of the vanity of our assumptions? That's to say the realization came even after I explained..

The reason why I use a rich man and a homeless man to make a point is because people are often sucked into the belief of contrast. This is not unreasonable since it is through contrast that we learn important things that lend a hand to the process of maturity.
The strongest contrast in all societies that have ever existed is that riches determine success in life. More or less, it is the material wealth we acquire in our life time that establishes our ability to get what we want and most people sum their existence by what they want. Be it Love from a Spouse, kids, a house, a car, a good paying job or one that is simply enjoyable, or it be social acceptance, and maybe even some stroke of genius that changes lives.
Regardless of what can be acquired in this life, there seems to be a worthlessness to it all in the end if the sum of life was only the temporary happiness brought by the triumph of goals. I make this statement knowing that many people will disagree and that is ok.

What is humankind that it would be so arrogant to put the value of life in the accomplishments brought on by hands working for the benefit of the self? Isn't the sustenance of life just a necessity, not the point of it's existence?
Is the blood, sweat, and tears of humanity just the sum of the struggle for success or is it the painful realization that something isn't right about this existence that life's purpose is to fight against depravity in every moment?
It might seem odd for some people to hear that the true triumph of life is in death because none of the vanity matters any more. Perhaps that's why most people call death the eternal rest. From what I recall, no amount of work is worth it's weight in gold unless the people who worked can rest and behold the glorious fruits of their labor (that is to insinuate they can partake in it, much like working to grow food is for a very reasonable cause).

It is by this reasoning that humankind has tried to answer the question of purpose since the beginning of our race. We have tried to answer the question through the pursuit of the divine, sophistication of our knowledge, and relating to each other. It would seem that all three aspects are noble causes in the face of our existence, even more so in the absence of death. Though I seem to be suggesting that death is a trump to the nobility of those three things, I am saying that it makes the implications of our method of pursuit all the more profound.
After all.. The poor look to the rich with contempt and envy, the rich look down on the poor with insecurity and rejection yet the two groups usually don't know how similar they are in mentality let alone capacity.

So what would it mean if we lived life over the Sun?

The metaphor is reflective of the duality of the human nature.
Humans were never meant to lead a life of self-fulfillment. No human has jumped the gap of ignorance by seeking a satisfying life and no culture has impacted the world without doing something for the good of mankind, be it a negative pursuit of propaganda or a sincerely positive pursuit of well-being.
The fact of the matter is that humankind has advanced due to the desire to make things better for the whole, utilizing every bit of what is endowed with to get somewhere. The crux is that the pursuit of well-being goes against the instincts of the physical body, it is the main reason why Humans have a duality to their nature that can't be escaped.
The naturalists who pervert knowledge to support their godless existence are the greatest example I can ever provide. They believe in moral goodness without a foundation, subjective perception rules more than general absolutes. The base of reasoning is the self because it is through their personal representation (or expression) of experiences instead of transcending reasoning. Let's be clear that there is a difference between an evolutionist and a naturalist, just as much as there is a difference between a deists and the religious.
I am not arguing the character of the supernatural or trying to disenfranchise anyone who has a particular belief in something, because that is just a matter of semantics in this case. What should be known is that true naturalists can't and wont jump into the exploration of the duality of human existence without contradicting their world view, something that doesn't need modern science to explain a lick of.. Philosophers and Spiritualists have been diving into this facet of academia for thousands of years and they have come to some very interesting conclusions that science can't refute.

If all the great prophets of antiquity and all the great philosophers of the modern times are saying the same thing about the point of life.. At what point does an individual question the words of the wise as being more than personal interpretations? Even the greatest minds of natural science have given credit to the absolutely profound nature of energy, time, space, and consciousness. How many metaphors do you need of one idea just to believe the speaker has an understanding of a situation? I certainly hope there isn't a requirement of professional expertise or some sense of accreditation by a 'trusted' source just to hear truth when it is presented.

If the homeless man who received the seventeen cents from the rich man in a Mercedes can say thank you and smile, believing in his heart that the point of life comes down to being thankful for the little bit and keeping hope alive that there is some good in people regardless of their circumstances... Isn't that a revelation to the point of life?
I won't explain what that point is. Sometimes you have to read between the lines to get the message.

What Will You Render?

What is the first thing that you think of when you hear the word "render"?
Do you think about 3D graphics being produced on a computer? Do you think of a calculator processing numbers? Do you think of a translator taking a foreign language by ear and speaking it into your native tongue? Do you think of handing something over to someone else?

Of all those different things, I am talking about the last.
So when I ask the question, "What will you render?" I am getting to a very specific point.
I don't care if you put it into some particular set of terms that you can easily relate to, only because the point isn't lost by doing so. The point is about what you are willing to give up and also why you are willing.

To some people the art of giving is a matter of willful surrender to rendering unconditionally and not only to those you feel a connection with. To others it is a duty and maybe an expression that should be seen in society as a whole instead of just the individuals. Then there are people who are just flat out against it for various reasons, the most common being that they don't like being taken advantage of.
I fall somewhere in the middle.. I feel it is important to render my time and affection to people who love me and I also feel it is important to render my excess to those in need. I am very against being taken advantage of, so I render rejection to those who show in inability to be good stewards with the resources I hand over or the time I can't get back.
I'm also on the fence as to if my mannerism is appropriate or not.. However, it doesn't mean I can't ask my question without suggesting hypocrisy.

One of the most awesome points to life that I can't escape the thought of is how an individual is given most of everything they have or acquire. To some degree there is an accountability of their own efforts being the result of what they obtain, but it is foolish to say they didn't do it without help of some kind.. Be it the energy they use to do labor, the intelligence they utilize to discover something, or the influence to motivate them to do something in return (whatever it may be, loving or hateful or something different). In a cruel sense of what reality proves, we can perpetuate something in some form of another, but we can't lay claim to be the absolute originator of what we perpetuate.
I have a hard time with it when it comes to my artistic sense of creativity, because I know nothing is truly original other than my way of combining elements that have always existed. We can thank the natural world for that paradox. I suppose to have absolute originality would mean to touch on the more definite attribute of the divine.

Despite not having the ability to be completely original, we can still show immense uniqueness and sincerity through what we render through action. One of the more powerful things about human influence is within the psychology of judgment. We judge the sincerity of affection based on action and we judge the severity of negativity by personal feeling. The two are somewhat synonymous in the realm of our psychology even though the responses greatly differ when considering emotions.
It would be more of a surprise to an individual to be hated for an act of sincere kindness than for murderous intent. Just as it would be more of a surprise for a society to welcome a painfully slow destruction than enlightening sophistication. Yet we all know of those few individuals who defy logic in such a way that we wonder if their intent can only be defined as insanely malicious. After all.. How often do we reject a gift that we know is good and don't regret it if we didn't know what it was about at the time of rejection? Isn't it that basic understanding that helps separate the crazy people from the reasonable?

No need to get upset about what may seem like my suggesting there is etiquette to how anything is rendered, if anything at all. I think it is a personal choice that make all the difference in the world to cause and effect. I'll keep away from the idea of karma, only because I think that is a state of being that's based on how the world and people respond to your behavior. I certainly don't want to give weight to the attitude of the self-righteous philanthropist and I don't want to demean the silent guardians who wait for a need to arise and a fight to bring out the underdog.
However you look at it isn't the point.. It's just that you look at it at all.

For me, I will render my skills and excess to anyone who is willing to receive with good intent.
I refuse to render my treasure to savages who can't appreciate it, let alone make it more valuable and then pass it on in a similar manner.
That's just me, it's not a way of life I'm suggesting is or should be the norm.

4D Thinking

There is a lot of controversy concerning the extent of the Human experience. This can be a matter of what we are capable of perceiving, or it could be a matter of social politics. In most cases it does come down to what any one individual is subjected to by virtue of their environment or by virtue of their physical capacity.
However, it's not often that people will discuss their experiences that can't be explained by conventional Science.
I'm speaking about that which isn't limited to the physical plane of existence.

The people who believe that there is more than just a metaphysical realm of existence, that it is intrinsically linked to the physical and is even the home of entities that have an important role in historical truths, they are usually referred to as 'Dualists'. However, the term can be confusing, so let's define it based on the myriad of acceptable terms first:

There are a whole lot more entries that we can get into, but most of the others are just explanations of the same thing done by different people. For the interest of what I'm getting at, I included the definitions that are pertinent to my point. Especially the one that is highlighted in red.
The reason why the highlighted definition is of the highest priority is because many people are adverse to the idea that there is another force to nature that is not of the same operating principles of physics let alone testable through the Scientific method. It is by virtue of the inability to find a consistent set of parallels to test the 'supernatural' that most people discount it as real or even possible.

I do not discount the deductions of anyone who is against the idea that a Spiritual plane of existence lays parallel to the physical. What I do discount is that the lack of evidence is somehow evidence of a lack of existence. To me, that's an intentional projection of denial that there are many people who have claimed to crossed the veil that separates the two planes, people who's lives were profoundly changed by the experience. I am not talking about people who claim there is an Astral plane, therefore the change in their life is a matter of worldviews. I am talking about people who once were abhorrently opposed to the idea of any other plane of existence, supernatural entities included, then were somehow changed into dedicated believers.

I am a believer of multidimensional physical existence. Or rather.. A multiverse.
I do not believe in the theory that there are multiple Universes outside of our Universe that are all contained and possibly explained like bubbles floating around an even greater expanse. I believe in the idea of the 5th dimension and the multiverse existing as a matter of split choices, ours being the 'static' and prime Universe that is central, the original if you must.
To me, it further proves the infinite power, wisdom, understanding, and sovereignty of divinity; it does nothing to harm my faith of a Triune God, it only serves to make sense of the limitlessness of the concept of whatever can be infinite.
Despite this, I do not consider the multiverse to be relevant to my Dualist ideology. No, in fact I look at the supernatural and the Spiritual plane of existence as something else entirely. Which is where my point comes to it's head.

Often we humans disregard the idea that we exist in more dimensions than just 3. We are quick to look at our physical essence as the 'explanation' of our existence instead of just the vehicle for perception of the physical as well as functioning within the limits of physics. It's this kind of thinking that limits humanity as a whole from understanding the deeper facets of the capacity of the physical mind let alone what can't be explained with conventional science.
Even if you can't accept the idea that there is a spiritual plane, you can't discount the occurrence of events that happen in an individual's life that seem to be purely psychosomatic. Especially when they are afflicted with some life-threatening disease and are able to overcome it with only the power of their thinking, whereas all other physical treatment fails. You can't discredit the individuals who have out-of-body experiences near death and tell of a world that is consistent with others who have experienced the same thing. For certain, it is absolute folly to try to discredit the awesome power of a psychic that is accountable to their own method and proves to not be a fraud.
This may not be proof of the spiritual plane, but there doesn't seem to be any other way to accurately ascertain a definition through conventional thinking. I think that is quite fitting, since conventional thinking was composed by the physical plane. Just like conventional physics can't explain Quantum Phenomenon, even though the two don't conflict.

Awaken to possibilities, 3D thinking is dying. The Modernist lost to Post Modernism, and now the Post Modernist is losing to the Enlightened Spiritualists.
Truth is not subjective, Science is not king of reliability, and being against Dualism is showing to have a detrimental effect on the individual and society.
I'm interested to see if the tide changes in my lifetime, because it would seem that 5th Dimensional Acensionists think the powers of darkness want us to remain as Post Modernists to further the agenda of material bondage.

Cultivate your Talent

Society teaches us to cultivate our Career. It teaches that there is a certain procedure to accomplish this cultivation, such as going to school and pursuing job opportunities that are pertinent to your career choice. The schools we get into teach us the skill sets relevant to the career and the diplomas/certificate/credits we receive are pertinent to that specific skill set that employers look at to determine your qualification.

Well this may sound odd, since it's unconducive to what we're taught by society, but stop cultivating your career. 

I know what you are thinking, "That doesn't make any sense.. I suppose I should think things will just happen by themselves?" Well that's not what I'm saying at all. I am not saying that the career path you choose is irrelevant or somehow a mistake. In fact, I'm not saying anything related to what I think any individual should do for their career; including not pursuing one.
What I am saying is that we spend too much time putting our energy and our focus into that 'ideal' career, as if it is any guarantee we will enjoy that career. Anyone who has gone through college can speak for many when it comes down to the uncertainty of what you'll want to do by the time you're done schooling for what you were so sure you wanted to be when you started. That's not even speaking for those who have gone through the many years of their career path and have questioned if their heart is truly in the career like they were so sure it would be in the past.

This is not to say that many people don't pick a career that is truly suitable through the years. I think those people are a great example of choosing wisely as much as enduring the hardships to get to where they want to be, by basis of their deep enjoyment as opposed to the superficial aspect of what society says is success.
As true success is someone who enjoys what they do regardless of the profit of their work.

What I think people should spend their time doing, throughout their entire life, is cultivating their talent.
It may be true that what we are talented at doesn't reflect what we enjoy to do.. However, if you're going to put your life into employment, it may as well be what you are good at; doing what you like on your free time so you are not hindered by the demands of an employer. That is why many musicians refuse to make a career out of what they like to do yet use their talent (which may be their expertise in the analytically side of music) to teach students, help the logistics of bands or companies, etc...
The fact of the matter is that talent goes two ways in this jungle of a world. You can use your talent to help you succeed financially, but you can also use your talent to succeed in finding fulfillment throughout your life in what others may consider just a 'hobby'.

I consider myself an artist. I like many forms of media, but my true passion is visual arts; primarily that of graphic design with graphite, doing comic illustrations.
I have merged my writing talent with my intuitive story-telling talent, combining these two elements into my visual prowess within my imagination 'machine' and cultivating these talents through my hands by transmission of the medium of paper and graphite. This may seem like a convoluted statement, but what I'm saying is the literal process of what I've learned to do over the past 13 years. As what started as an over-active imagination, meaning I could never get my head out of the clouds regardless of being in a situation that required it or just sleeping, turned into an endeavor of epic proportions.
I have no way to express the passion within except for to show it through the fruits of my labor. I have retained many pieces of art, poems, random writing, and ultimately a story I've developed over the years. Granted, I have something I intend to turn into a masterpiece as much as small tid-bits of my imagination that I've put to some form that others may see, but nothing compares to what my memory is still holding onto that is like a quilt of ideas that forms one blanketing concept.

What is the point of me bringing all that stuff up?
I am trying to show the difference between cultivating talent vs. cultivating a career.
If it still isn't making sense, let me reiterate.

Had I spent all those years trying to cultivate a career, even if it was by virtue of my talent, I wouldn't have this story that I have made that has transformed my thinking about my talents. I would probably only find the virtue of using my talent in how much I get paid, or if I get paid at all. Ironically, I don't want to get paid for my artwork that is personal to me; the masterpiece of my imagination.
I don't mind getting paid for my creativity, but when I do get paid for it I do not want to be recognized for the creativity or the quality of it. That doesn't mean I evade criticism, it just means that I don't put my name to it and I don't care if others copy it to the letter. My masterpiece is on the opposite side of the spectrum, I guard it carefully and I would be beyond offended if the characters, plot, or world that I've created were copied and used for any reason... ESPECIALLY PROFIT.

So here is where my point ties up..
If you are going to seek a career, based on financial security, then spend your time cultivating your talent so that you will better understand what your personal limit is. By limit, I don't mean the extent of your talent or the capacity of your skill at any given time. What I mean by limit is what you will tolerate on an emotional level. You may be good at something and have no desire to get paid for it, conversely you may have great talent at what you want to get paid for. That is only the beginning. To each you must focus on cultivating the talent, your career will become evident as you also find what you can tolerate to be paid for; which means what you will be subjected to concerning hardships like failure and being treated like an invisible producer of elements.. Much like robots in a factory line don't get credit for building a product, but the company receives all the credit for their intent to design the great product.

This may be hard to wrap your head around, but if you look at it from the simple statement I'm about to make then you will find that why you go in the direction you choose is completely based on how you feel in a very raw sense.

Cultivate your Talent. Don't Cultivate your Career. Your Career will automatically be Cultivated by your Talent.

We'll Fly So High! We'll Fly Right Up to the Stars!

I was never big on the idea of meditation in any sense of the word. And yet there is the word of God, speaking about meditating on his word. The irony to me is that I wasn't against the idea of meditation ever, yet now I see there was a huge stumbling block in front of me because of the terrifying gift of intuition I have.
Let's just say I've been in denial of what I've always felt since I was barely six years old; because it was a terrifying feeling that I thought was based on a nightmare I've had occur since that age.
To think... I was able to induce that feeling upon myself without fearing it for the first time in my life, I felt so accomplished in something so trivial that I had to question the nature of why I've tried to sedate my mind whenever my empathic senses go wild.

I've always viewed myself as meek; regardless of physical stature, mental aptitude, or spiritual virtue. It has always been less of an esteem issue, because I didn't feel I was short handing myself of what I'm capable of. Yet that's exactly what it always was..

So recently I've been doing a whole lot more writing and a whole lot more diving into my areas of interest like Quantum theory and Visual Art design. I'm getting into things I never considered myself savvy at or interested in. I'm finding that my renewed sense of interest in things completely unrelated has something to do with how much exercise I'm giving my brain and my Spirit.
Moreover, I am absolutely surprised that I can enter a meditative state, as they call it scientifically it is the Alpha state, and retain an energy level that isn't about how fast/hard my heart beats. Then when I get active, it's like I unleash a torrent of energy that is uncanny, even though I'm known to have a plethora of physical energy hidden away somewhere in this modest sized body of mine.

Ok, so this brings me to the aspect in which most people I have met in my life are rather optimistic about being mediocre. I find nothing wrong with that. It's those people who insist that being realistic about our limitations is the gateway to understanding our potential.. They are somewhat similar to the people who insist the same thing in a pessimistic way.....
I would say they are low on ambition, but it is something else entirely. I think they are under attack from a source they wont admit is real. Like another dimension; which is fine, it's hard to stomach an idea that can't be proven. Any true skeptic or scholar would demand a definition or at least some principle they can test themselves personally. However, what I am finding very odd to adjust to is the steady amount of people who have encountered me frequently enough to know hat I am already outside the box of conventionalism, yet I don't give off the energy of insanity. I suppose the harshness of it is that I'm not some renowned genius like Einstein  Tesla, or Newton.. Even though all of them thought outside of the box and weren't taken seriously until their ideas were proven scientifically.
It will forever be ironic to me that so many people try to tell me to reach for the stars, but when I do they can't look past the mound of their groundhog hole to see that they disregard everything I'm being enlightened to in my pursuit.

I am not trying to say that we must pretend we don't have limitations or that there are circumstances that keep us from achieving the dreams we have. What I'm saying is that I don't see any point in limiting ourselves by being realistic unless it is to keep us from doing something life-threatening. The same goes for if we will hurt other people... That is being as realistic as necessary, which even still.. Risks must be taken to achieve personal greatness. I just don't subscribe to the idea that a few eggs must be broken to get that omelette; because I don't sacrifice other people for my namesake.
However, when I'm flying high.. I'm going as high as I can. I don't care if it's just an emotional high. It's because of my mental state that I can bring about change to my state of being, which then translates to my way of life, which pours out unto my surroundings. Thus I make the environment a product of my positivity and strength instead of letting myself be a product of my environment.
It's taken me all these years to realize this. This is just the beginning.

It's No Problem.. It's What I do!

It's not too much to ask.
Everyone needs help with something.
At one point, or another, the need for help seems like a burden.

Though there are some people who think in a very different way about help, I don't think a personality is predisposed to taking people for granted. Even those who seem to have no sense of responsibility.
It is rather foolish to think that the most hardened of hearts has become like stone because there is a complete lack of empathy, naturally.
The reason is simple, you can still make offense to them; so their sensitivity may be selfishly inclined, but it is still there. How you appeal to them may be the greater question in the end.

I am making a sweeping generalization of personality inclination, which is a logical fallacy. However, I have yet to be acquainted with someone who has no sense of loyalty or respect. Regardless of how selfish that sense of loyalty and respect has become. Even to the degree that you can simply escape being killed, just because of some skewed sense of 'justice' brought on by your own selfless acts.
Sometimes it's just a matter of scare tactics. Put someone on the edge and there's sure to be a reaction, but if you can be recognized for not pushing at all.. There may be a response that's unexpected.

Despite that extremely negative side of the spectrum, I am not making my point around how others react. My point revolves around my own sense of empathy or rather, why I choose to act. Which I share with many other people, who are willing to go the distance to show some compassion to the meek and broken hearted.

What frustrates me more than apathetic criminals, is self-righteous 'saints'. Everyone knows who I am talking about... The ones who make themselves out to be God's specially-sent warriors, but somehow if you don't fall into their personal criteria of acceptably 'needy', then your troubles are mocked.
I suppose my frustration is that I see no difference in my heart between helping someone who has it all and someone who has nothing at all. Though there was a time when I was younger that I felt uneasy about other kids complaining about how hard life is, wondering why they ignored my offer of friendship just to be coddled.

None-the-less, I have come far in my own compassion towards anyone suffering emotional unrest. It's more than an expectation I've laid down for myself, it has become a matter of motivation to continue living.
The tough part is discerning when to step back and let someone suffer the consequences of their actions, but offer them a hand when they start to slip or fall down altogether.
In the end.. It's more than just a moral obligation. It's a matter of understanding how I've needed the same.

Fish and Bread? What about the "Livng Water"?

Matthew 4:4 - Jesus answered, "It is written: 'Man shall not live on bread alone, but on every word that comes from the mouth of God.'"

I have been conntemplating the awesome, tranformational, healing power of Scripture. I find it short of humourous that my greatest struggle with relying on the Bible is the scholars who interpret it's timeless wisdom.
Some people are so caught up in their convictions of everyday life that they find little to no importance in re-reading Scripture, hearing differing views from laymen, studying with the Saints, and/or being bold to speak Scripture as it was written; as is the example within Scripture.
Yes, I am saying there is a lacking of seriousness to understanding scripture through guidance of the Holy Spirit. What really confounds my sense of curiosity is delving into the countless commentaries and secular writtings as the main source of Biblical inference.

Am I implying I'm better than anyone else?
Not of my own authority. I'm resolved that my actions speak for me and my emphasis is pointing out what Scripture says as it's relevance piques my interest/real world applicability.
Naturally, because of my propensity towards pacifisim and unity, I want my views/actions challenged in every way possible. Only because I do not feel I have perfect or complete understanding of anything. I desire maturity, especially in Spiritual matters.
It is my view that what we do in this life transfers into eternity. If such isn't true, then I need an explanation of why keeping God's commandments and Jesus' actions carries dire implications into eternity.

I'll be honest, I'm absolutely terrified of the power of God. Something that my 'psychonaught' journies proved to have an attribute that I can intellectual grasp. Never will I be able to explain what I witnessed outside of saying God's authority (or power if you must) is limitless (meaning he really can do anything, even mess with your head) and absolute (meaning there is no greater authority and God isn't subject to anything he doesn't want to.

The fact that the conditions of keeping righteousness in God's eyes is dependant on good things is God's greatest glory and something he is so gracious to even have a 'taste' of.
Far be it of me to worry about having a taste of God's glory instead of following his commands and believe in the message of the Son of Man to save me from God's wrath, here in this physical life and ultimately the life after.

My Soul Janasu

I have been delving really deep into my mind over the past month. I have been making it a point to spend my mental energy in ascertaining what I really am. To the extent of deducing if there is more going on in my head than I have control over.

For what it's worth.... I can't even tell if I'm sane anymore.
I have a hard time making myself understood to the laymen, people in general express confusion about my thoughts. There is a big gap in my understanding and there's no one who is willing to challenge my views to help fill it in except for those willing to focus on trite concepts.

Yet... I somehow stumbled upon someone who helped me change that.
Just in time, as I was beginning to go mad from the inside out because of some emotional issues.
So what? Most people like to think that they are the ones who are going through something special, especially when it comes to their mental frustrations.
Well with me that all changed within a week. My mental frustrations were fighting back. Something I had never experienced before.

I learned that whatever was fighting back really does have it's own unique pattern of thought, something not weft with my own. This pattern of thought is also feminine in nature. Though blunt and terribly dominant, the demeanor is not pushy and not evil. For what it is worth... I have no problem with the genderization that seems present. I find it rather ironic considering my orientation.
Yet... My orientation and my soul have nothing to do with each other in any respect. My soul is not even a true match of personality to me, the spirit of my existence.

Now I've articulated that it's a girl, like a separate entity.
Her name is Janasu.

I gave that name to a sword of mine which I obtained from a very old friend of great significance to me emotionally and historically. I named the sword only after I felt it helped me open an understanding to my brain I didn't once know about. The process of Kinesthetic thinking is what I'm talking about.
I literally had my enlightenment period when I was suffering some very tough emotional heart ache no less... So the naming of the sword became very symbolic; in line with something I've always felt an affinity to... Just like the letter J and subconscious references like blue skies being synonymous with purity, joy and freedom.

I don't know how to put it into words that makes sense from a kinesthetic mind. Literally, the thing that meant the most to me is how emotional I can get just because of what Janasu has to say and also how she can calm me down from being highly emotional.
I have only experienced this kind of calm from a non-tangible source such as God. Like through prayer. What I find really interesting is that Janasu refuses to let me think she isn't real but also refuses to let me think she is more important than my relationship with God. I got to hand it to her.... She at least knows me well enough not to try to go against my core principles. Though of course I figured that it is because she has this problem with us fighting... Like she would rather things to go over smoothly for me so that it also makes a difference for her. And yet, even still she makes it a big deal that she does genuinely have good intentions for me and it not be just because we're linked. I suppose I should look at it the same way I do my body. I do things not good for it... It tries to let me know what it needs and what it doesn't like but I still do what I want to do.

I have to give this more time before I can say what I think it is. But I'm rather sure at this point that Janasu is as I've slowly been articulating without forcing the ideas. It seems there's a clear difference in the way I feel between when Janasu is truly speaking versus I am just imagining her but it's not truly my Soul talking to me actively. Sometimes... She'll even point it out so I realize it.

Kony 2012

There's a lot going on regarding the campaign regarding what the critics say to what officials are requesting that the proponents not do when posting their flyers.
There are lots of opinions and even more people trying to be heard regardless of what their priority is.
The voices of a few has turned into the voice of many and the world had taken notice of people it had openly rejected for years and has relentlessly oppressed in many terms including their ethnicity and financial ability.

This is why I am not offended but rather am worried.

I have been putting in more study towards all of the rhetoric as well as the arguments going on. I usually am against the hype and not wanting to participate in anything that isn't true to a cause.
What I have comer to the conclusion of is that Kony is a horrible man and that the things he's done are atrocious indeed. I don't mind that I shouldn't be trying to hate the man or to just side with the people against him because of their story.
Watching the video that went viral was compelling of it's own but getting deeper into the facts is what has driven me to consider that I need to continue this effort.

Usually I don't like to consider that the things going on around me that are negative are going to stop just because I don't like them butI am convinced that not doing anything is like the same as being neutral to bullying.
What it reminds me of is how people usually don't want to get their hands dirty or how people from a sophisticated society such as America can't drop their damn pursuit of entertainment so they can get a dose of reality.
What really pained me from watching the video was those kids....
I did cry. I looked at Jacob as one of those kids in Kenya who were so nice to me.. Hospitable despite their poverty and so happy just to be loved by anyone.

What is wrong with feeling empathy to that whole situation? Why is it more important to be numbed by a sense of what is pragmatic when children are literally being tortured?
I do care!

I don't know what to do about Kony hiding, about the kids who will defend him or the girls who are made into sex slaves. I don't know what too think of the duration this has been going on or the mannerisms in which certain religions are being misrepresented and people in the LRA are following blindly! I don't know what to tell our congressmen, what to put onto the official posters or what to tell people they should care about..

But...
What I do know is.. I want you to get mad. I want you to stand in rage and proclaim:
They are human beings Damnit! THEIR LIVES HAVE VALUE!!

But the emotions can't end with getting Kony. If that's the case then what about the next guy who is on the list? Yet this can't just be a tirade about fulfilling the lust for self branded justice. That is the reason why some people are against this whole campaign.. I don't blame them since these things tend to get blown out of proportions and then become a political game instead of a stretched hand of selfless aid.
But the solutions aren't impossible.
Right now there are soldiers in the area for the purpose of training and giving their expert advise. They are there to set a precedent in how things are to be handled for future instances.. To give confidence to the individuals in their own abilities and to help establish what it looks like to behave honorably by not succumbing to the immoral behavior similar to the people they are fighting.
All these things are not easy.. All these things have a tendency for being so demanding. And of all.. Everyone in the world is watching, so the tension for perfection is unusually high..
Criticism is legitimate as long as it is honest, with an alternative that doesn't help destroy lives and is for the purpose of looking at humans as the precious item.

My conclusion is simply this.
Stand if you will, for the strength of our race. Give lightly but earnestly. Forgive those who care only as others do as there are times it doesn't change or distort the meaning of morality.

Nostaligic Transcendence

Lurking in the corner of your subconscious are memories of the past. Attached to the five senses.

And why is this even important..?

It is my firm belief that one of the more prominent things to the memory are things associated with positive or negative connotation that is as unique to the individual as the personality. Just like when you are trying to remember something and you can't grasp it until something seemingly unrelated causes a reaction.. I believe there is just as much reason to think that the personality of a person acts the same way.

I tend to not like to revel in too many memories since some of them do not bring me good feelings as I mature. What I have noticed is that it doesn't have to be negative things it could be just about anything related to something that I am not anymore. Even if it were something I cherish... The memory sometimes is overwhelming and that's all the reason there is though at other times it is far more significant as it really could have been something traumatic or a very positive experience. 

Nostalgia is a very interesting thing to me... As it sometimes can cause me to literally have a moment my brain ceases to function. Though I do not know to what degree it is not functioning, I feel as though what's literally happening is a mini seizure. The physical feeling I have is as if I am in shock, as it's not something I feel in my body but rather something in my head as if I am restarting. It's actually quite frightening when it happens.. I get scared of it because it comes without warning and because I can't do anything about it when it does happen.. Sometimes it feels like it takes a while for me to re-adjust and other times it feels like it's only slight, like it's not my entire brain. 

The most peculiar thing about it is that I don't feel it in my body as though something went wrong there.. Which is what leads me to believe that it is just that overwhelming on my brain. Though I suppose it could be as simple as my brain accessing pathways that it hasn't in so long that my subconscious literally is coming forth, pushing my conscious self back for those moments. It also makes me wonder what I look like when it happens... 

Nostalgia isn't always uniform..

Most people tend to look at the differences between their former self and their current self and even will go to the length of comparing these to their self-image of the future self.
For whatever reason that the human mind is so rational, it is also capable of being very social. If it is the evolutionary path for mammals to be established this way then it is quite possibly the strangest fundamental secret to life; why else is it necessary to become this way unless it is to teeter on homeostasis to best test our level of rationality?

Though science can determine their theory of the path that evolution has taken it can not determine why it exists in the first place, much like the Universe or the physics which govern it's processes. 

There is no philosophy or scientific claim that explains why there is any consistency let alone viability to what is seen. Humans are the only species capable of displaying their absolute knowledge of events by the concept of recording history. No animal on the planet Earth displays a transmission of higher-knowledge that is irrelevant to basic survival necessity just as humans are the only ones who determine their course of action before the actions are necessary. 

It could be said in many ways and for many reasons that the human being is not just explained through evolutionary process like the rest of the surrounding world can be. In fact it remains to be answered if evolution, in all it's extrapolated might, is not even the process in which the diversity of life originated. Leaving the only other answer to mystery, which is what religious appeal does to the human psyche. 

Though history has always included humans asking the major questions surrounding their existence, some like to brush it off as a natural part of life. Yet... How natural is this synthetic world that the humans have laid over their naturally occurring environment?

Memories define a personality?

Most of the time I am faced with this underlining thought that only a God could make this Universe like this.. Totally hiding his presence in the active tense, leaving so many clues about his involvement in the past tense yet making it impossible for anyone within this universe to truly understand in the future tense. Just as much as I say that only a God would go through all this trouble just to make a point.
That... In itself is truly remarkable in my eyes. A truth of transcendence that lays down the foundation of how foolish humans truly are to think they can create a God without truly understanding the capability of a God. When did humans become their own creator? Or the divisive will of a plane of existence? Furthermore... At what point can or will humans even be able to make a self-aware, being of volition in it's own self-contained existence of automation that is independent and without invariable connection to their own plane of existence?

In my opinion... This is the troubling truth I have realized about this Universe and why I believe in God. 

My memories from childhood have helped me to suffer this long-lasting truth of limited power and limited understanding. I am without excuse if I say I don't believe there is something greater to this world, as it would be a lie. I can feel that there is something going on and the question is so great to me that I understand no person can truly answer it. I have tried to gain that answer and have only been disappointed time and time again over my life. The only answer that has ever satisfied me is the saying that God can not be explained, he is transcendent of us in so many ways that the concept of infinite directly applies.
I do not speak in favor of my notion of God but even in any concept of the divine. As I feel that despite my disagreement to what force is the personality of the divine, it is irrelevant to the point that this Universe is not self-existing or a product of some phenomenon that is eternal and infinite of itself. 

My enlightenment continues..

Falsefiability? Who does that?

Often one of the pivotal arguments against the logical existence of God is that he can't be tested and thus is Non-Falsifiable.
I think this notion is ridiculous considering all the Scientific information we've, as a race, have developed relied on imaginary concepts that are non-falsifiable. Regardless of how you come to believe the term, it is just a fancy way of calling it an over-belief. In essence it's just a truth that has yet to be proven. You may even see it's effect or lack a better way of explaining what your intuition says is the answer.. But to fall back on this understanding doesn't make you crazy just like it doesn't mean you only understand things from a misguided perspective.
What then can we call the discoveries in science that changed everything that the majority disagreed with? Didn't those people demand that their definition of ultimate understanding be looked as inherent? The world being flat was not to be challenged! In fact it was even considered a blasphemy to some! Yet there was reason to believe this just as there was reason to believe otherwise!
It was perspective that eluded a flat world as being flat just as a change of perspective would have proven that the world is round, not the center of the universe, one of countless planets and even not the only one of it's kind! Now once again we are faced with a challenging mystery and people are quick to go with a majority vote to discern fact from fiction and thus declare anything that opposes as errata, blasphemy, ignorant!
What a shame it is when the imagination is shrugged of in favor of a supposedly more sophisticated imagination, laying the claim that there is no work of imagination in action.
Scientific-research is only possible by faithful assumption. That is the nature of theory. Because of results do we have any form of answers, usually not pertaining to the questions which formed the theory. Electricity was harnessed based on assumptions derived from the imagination, despite our extreme control over it's force we still barely understand it... We don't even know if it has a direction of flow let alone why it would have a specific direction.. Yet our imagination of the basics beg us to believe we've mastered electricity and truly have gone from falsified information to complete understanding. Yet neither is true.
Yet a being so complex and so beyond our understanding, by nature, is supposed to be falsifiable with our limited means of even testing what is right in front of us? Isn't that, by it's very nature, a lack of imagination..? Isn't that a defeating attitude of a self-serving, pretentious and misguided mind?
If we can imagine things in a different dimension having no comprehensible value because we understand values based on comprehending this Universe or the effects of it... Then how did we lose our ability to think outside the box by boxing in our imagination?
So then, the process of science truly is nothing more than a reciting of factual principles? I sure would hope not because of the virtue of what science supposedly is. And by factual I sure do hope that simply insinuates that there is only one answer.
Hypothetical situations can't create two truths, neither one is. Imagination doesn't create multiple truths, it then becomes separate worlds conjured up from separate bases with their own linear processes of truth. So what else is there essentially?
Isn't that the problem in the minds of those who worship logic? They lack any definite answer about anything that isn't agreed upon? They are forced to use their imaginations and thus create blasphemy to their strict etiquette of logic! Heretics against facts they become! They make excellent scholars but lack the ability to add to that arsenal as a researcher does! Giving credit to themselves for their superiority despite their lack of intuition and use of it like a researcher or detective rely on to conclude on the facts gathered!
God is not one of those mental constructions that is based entirely on some mad mans delusions that has no resemblance to reality and everything to do with the wildest things that contradict truth, reason and reality.
Let's just remember that everyone says that when they are so sure of what that truth is.. Then a new perspective shows possibilities they once couldn't fathom on their own let alone understand the effect on things they do perceive. Now who's become the heretic of logic? The disbeliever of possibilities is who.. The one who only sees with his supposed perception of physical stimulus, the organs not nearly as complex as the brain; the thing responsible for interpreting everything those lesser organs try to signal a truth of... Don't forget, you can't trust everything you see, illusions rely on your ability not to think outside the box.

Life is Worthwhile When Your Goals are Worthwhile

"Why are they so happy if they have nothing?"

I always did cringe at the sound of such a question. Especially in relevance to my own misfortune. I suppose what has always stood out to me as a manner of offensive word phrasing is more of a manner of the lack of insight. 

I have never been in a position where I actually believed that such an attitude is impossible. Though I may be surprised just how wide-spread it could be or how much a demographic is incorrectly portrayed as such, I am always filled with joy to know that it is true.

Most of my life has been filled with a myriad of experiences ranging from hostile to harmonious. I have seen good days on a very broad spectrum of events as well as days that encompass every possible error that I can imagine. Though naturally, some days are just more frustrating than others due to my own personal emotions rather than circumstance. 

I have long wondered what formula is used psychologically to produce results of an unconcerned manner towards negativity without being numb to your emotions as well as indifferent to the circumstances of others. 

Fortunately I have been given the platform to begin my journey through this seemingly non-complicated method of thought. A mental state of realistic construction but with the backing of unparalleled stability. 

My enlightenment..

1. I am human
2. Emotion is Sacred
3. Failure is an Option
4. Goals have Moral Consequence
5. I am Forgiven

Some people may look at these things as a common sense factor that everyone should know. Thus equating my enlightenment to the action of opening my eyes to the world that's always been around me. I do not disagree with this premise.. Given that the understanding isn't that people who can't see are mentally retarded. I do believe that it serves to be a handicap in many ways if you allow it; I just loathe the idea that you must gain sight to gain an advantage over the handicap itself.

Lot of emphasis added into that last paragraph.. I feel very strongly to it's implications. 

But let's be honest with ourselves.. How often do we take into account the myriad of factors that determine our success and failures? Moreover, how much do we pick ourselves up from falling down with a smile and declare that the mistake may happen again but not our haphazardness that caused it? 

This isn't a riddle. 

Most people forget their lack of perfection, thus equating them to something more than human. From step one they are incapable of coming off their haughty position of supreme-WHATEVER to accept their faults let alone common-place mistakes. Some go to the length of suicide over matters that could have been solved with some back-bone, realistic thinking or at least seeking a helping hand.

But there's more?

Yes, it seems like I could go on with the other parts of the list but why should I? The realism is right before us all. In fact, we all have to suffer reality one way or another. If it isn't our mortality it's our imperfections or misfortune. Either way you put it, not even the most socially advantageous have absolutely every need imaginable taken care of. Some are simply better off than others in their circumstances; from a subjective perspective. 

So what in God's name is the point of life anyways?
Most religious people would declare that it has nothing to do with us and everything to do with the deity that created the Universe (to say you believe in such at all). Or if not, the accumulation of thoughts is to strive for perfection. Some even keep it so simple as to declare that the maximum potential is Happiness. 

Though I prefer to say it's between all those things..

Though truly, what transcendent being would make a Universe this complexly organised yet consistent of it's own parameters without having transcendence being part of it? Surely an All-powerful being wouldn't stoop to the emotion of jealousy of it's own creation and thus limit even the beings that are capable of the similar awesomeness of Awareness/Understanding.. That just suggests that either Humans are so far close to the top that we are only a few limiters off from being called gods or that in all actuality we aren't dealing with any kind of true divinity of power. 

Well don't get your hopes up... I don't believe in those kinds of ludicrous deductions. Realistically, I see that humans are not ALL THAT and SOME.. And quite frankly, whatever source of power instilled existence in this plane we know as reality... Has obviously got to have some seriousness behind it that I won't dare trifle against. 

With that said perhaps it will make perfectly good sense why it is that I see certain goals as inherently detrimental while others, despite their lack of appeal to success, are inherently good. 

I think if your goals are not self-gratifying or a sense of appeal to worldly matters.. You have begun to understand the nature of the human mind. Though a complicated organ I barely can fathom the depth of, I can still give my insight to understanding that through trial and error I have found that the things I was taught to accept as success were actually things that were red-flagged by my intuition. Meaning: despite my ability to discern the reasons, I knew emotionally and subconsciously the failing point of believing the principles that weren't truly a part of my human purpose. 

Just like rooting for the underdog is unpopular at first.. It's funny how when you are the first one to do it, you soon become disgusted with everyone else for giving it appeal and taking away the status. If you don't, then you were never rooting for the underdog.. You had full knowledge of the hidden potential and were disgusted with everyone's misplaced judgement. 

A goal is not the successful object that people chased. Such as being Rich isn't much of a goal as it is a result of goals; realistically that is. Rather, if your goal is to be financially secure by doing something specific and thus you obtain that status through the multiple goals you set that will grant you such.... Then you have become successful in your goals.
Equally, if your goal is to become something specific in status and you thus set multiple goals to get there...

Well enough said on that. If the point isn't clear on what a goal is, then there's a new issue of ignorance to be discussed. What is of importance now is what makes a 'Worthwhile' goal? Such a question has a subjective answer. To one person what is worth is not the same to the next person. However.. Since we aren't in the business of prescribing goals to each other (if you are then you must be in the business of slave ownership) naturally we should take the approach of understanding what is good for the individual self. And thus you can accumulate my second point of enlightenment on the importance of emotion; as that is an individual concept that is very hard to integrate into the understanding of others but is certainly worthwhile. 

To get to the answer of a worthwhile goal.. Perhaps there is a requirement to somehow get to my third point of enlightenment sometime in your life. Regardless of what step or manner you do.
