Intelligent People Don’t Follow Bad Laws

Posted on by in Philosophy and tagged , , , , , .

“Good people don’t follow bad laws.”  

Slavery was legal. 

War led by the highest forms of government is supposedly legal.  

Plant medicine like mushrooms that can help numerous people is mostly illegal.  (While poisonous alcohol, tobacco, big pharma is legal). 

Intelligent people do not use legality as a guide to morality.  

Intelligent people are not led by the law, especially when the law invades their space to scare & control them… when “the law” breaks laws to scare & control its own people … 

Intelligent people never let invasive devils guide them.  

Intelligent people lead themselves, & allow other actual intelligent people to influence & guide them. 

Thoughts & Opinions

Posted on by in Philosophy and tagged , , , , , , , , , .

“Few men think, yet all have opinions. Hence men’s opinions are superficial and confused.”

— John Locke    

Where do your thoughts come from? 

And is it your thoughts that have formed your beliefs?  

Do you let politicians and the media stations tell you what to think?  

Do you think with clarity? Or do allow other people to fog your perception?  

As long as we have the freedom to think & use our brain – we must use it.  

We must not allow technology to turn us into lifeless reactive machine people – whom let the machines do our thinking for us.  

We must not allow other people to do our thinking for us. 

We must think with and for ourselves, & be thankful for the divine gift of the brain, mind, heart, body. 

Don’t Be Guided By Oppressors

Posted on by in Philosophy and tagged , , , , , , , .

“Nobody in the world, nobody in history, has ever gotten their freedom by appealing to the moral sense of the people who were oppressing them.”

— Assata Shakur  

There are several “powers that be” on planet earth who live to control people & maintain power.  

The oppressors have an agenda – and their agenda DOES NOT INCLUDE to help you (unless you are born into their family.) 

Their agenda consists of getting people to work for them – to work for the systems that they have built. 

But their agenda not only consists of enslaving people to their system – they want to control people’s minds. 

The oppressors want the people to believe in what they tell them – they want to influence people’s minds in subtle & not so subtle violent ways. 

The oppressors want to confuse the people – they want the people to fear the powers that be. 

And any rebellion that goes against the truly violent cruel oppressors way – they shut it down – usually using governmental forces to do so. 

The oppressors use a number of methods to keep the people conformed to their system. 

The oppressors break laws while at the same time putting fear into their citizens. 

They want people to be “moral” while they themselves are operating so beyond morals & beyond the law that you could say they are operating as devils in hell.  

And they’ll never let their power go until there is a revolution of truth that exposes the oppressors. 

I am a man of many religions, but supposedly when Jesus comes back he will lead the entire planet into a time of light.  

I guess we will see…

Always Continue Learning

Posted on by in Lifestyle, Motivation, Philosophy and tagged , , , , , , , , , , .

“A scientist will read dozens of books in his lifetime, but still believe he has more to learn. A religious person will barely read one book and think that they know it all.”     

Whatever choices you make to be more or less educated, is ok.  

It does seem sometimes though – that the less someone reads & learns, the more they think they know…  

but true knowledge seekers understand that there is no limit to learning. No limit to knowledge.  

But the majority of people want to think they’re right, rather than learn; It’s the lazy route. The route that requires no effort of reading & researching & learning. It’s the route that simply repeats something it hears – these people are truly like parrots. Literally.  

What’s the alternative to being a parrot person? Doing the research. Reading. Thinking about what you read. Brainstorming. & not just repeating what you read.  

There is no limit to knowledge, & there never will be. 

Don’t let the parrot people bring you down to their level of ignorance. 

Rise & shine, & always continue learning. 

Focus On What You Can Control

“You have power over your mind – not outside events. Realize this, and you will find strength.”

— Marcus Aurelius   

Planet Earth is the home to billions of humans and animals – all with unique lives. 

There is a range of culture, government, lifestyles, careers, education, religion, etc. and there is not one correct way of doing it all. 

That’s the beauty of it all. 

But it becomes ugly when people start trying to control & manipulate other people; Trying to force their beliefs onto others because they think they’re right (or usually because they have more power than the others.) 

It happens all the time: one person or usually a group of people trying to control other groups & individuals… (abuse of power) 

Those people don’t realize that the real power comes from controlling your own mind – & not controlling other people (but those people will never understand that). 

Most people have never experienced the power that is within them – since they are distracted by the distractions & manipulations of the external world, politics, sports, work, getting in each others way, etc.  

and then the people become distracted, confused, angry, overwhelmed, annoyed, etc, and then they pass it on. 

But when you take control of your own mind – you gain energy and focus that others lose in trying to control others, since you aren’t doing that. 

The world becomes filled with opportunity & beauty.  

All because you gave up trying to control others & you focused entirely on controlling yourself.  

Meditation is a good place to begin. 

To Be or To Do?

Posted on by in Lifestyle, Philosophy and tagged , , , , , , , , , , , .

“We have a tendency to think in terms of doing and not in terms of being. We think that when we are not doing anything, we are wasting our time. 

But that is not true. Our time is first of all for us to be. 

To be what? To be alive, to be peaceful, to be joyful, to be loving. And that is what the world needs most.”

— Thich Nhat Hahn  

To be or to do? I say both. 

Let us always “be”, even as we do.  

Meditation is a wonderful place to cultivate “being”. 

This guide will get you started. 

YOU ARE IT!

“The discovery that the experiencer is the experience, is meditation.” 

— Jiddu Krishnamurti   

Two people can be sitting next to each other in the same room of a hundred people, watching a sports game & may experience completely different things. 

They are in the same environment. Surrounded by the same people. 

Watching the same game.  

Yet they have a different experience than the people around them.  

Same thing if you’re watching a play, or reading a meditation book, listening to music, or walking in nature. 

You may hear & read & see the same exact things that others are hearing, reading, & seeing, yet you have your own interpretations of the experience.  

It’s good to have your own interpretation. 

All children are living from their individual perspective until they reach a certain age & the world sort of takes away their individuality & tells the person what to think, how to feel, and how to interpret things…   

So as we age we sort of lose ourselves as we conform to our surroundings, but what if we didn’t?  

What if we kept our individuality? 

What if we understood the power of conformity, & then we understood the power of our individual self? 

What if we stepped away from the crowds, & decided what we actually thought about things? 

Your perception is your reality. 

And how we feel about it?    

Do not disempower yourself by adopting other people’s perspective. 

You are it!

RECLAIM YOUR MIND

Posted on by in Lifestyle, Philosophy and tagged , , , , , , , , , .

“Reclaim your mind and get it out of the hands of the cultural engineers who want to turn you into a half baked moron consuming all this trash that’s being manufactured out of the bones of a dying world.”

— Terence McKenna  

There are several “powers that be” that operate to control peoples minds… 

Mind control. It happens more than you can imagine. 

You lose your mind & your inner power when you believe that people outside of you are more powerful than you. 

But you are much more powerful than you can imagine.  

Meditation is one way to realize your potential and you power.  

You must discover your inner self. And you can do this through the practice of meditation. 

Begin meditating with this guide.

Question Governments, Churches, Society

Posted on by in Lifestyle, Philosophy and tagged , , , , , , , , , , , , , , .

“That government, society, or religion is useless where people are not allowed to ask questions.”

— Galileo  

Chomsky said, “A citizen who questions nothing is the governments favorite creation.”  

The government is good at persuading its citizens to blindly & fearfully obey the government. 

They are even better at putting fear into people so that people are afraid to think for themselves. 

The majority of people become indoctrinated to believe that there is no other way. So they don’t question the government or church or society. 

And the citizens learn to outcast the individual who questions things; The individual who uses their brain to ask itself questions & ask others questions; The philosopher. The lone wolf. 

Hundreds of years ago communities labeled those people “witches” and “demons” – the people who questioned the government or church.  

The power to conform blindly to authority has always been stronger than taking a stand. 

Throughout human history, authority figures have always used violence to silence anyone who questioned them. 

It’s sad but it’s true. 

But we are entering a new earth. A new phase in human existence (if AI doesn’t destroy humanity.)  

This new phase will use scientific evidence & intelligent & facts instead of blindly obeying political organizations or the church (politics). 

No one should fear their government whom is supposedly here to “protect and serve,” (& not just protect and serve the wealthiest people in its country…)  

When everyone around you seems to be conforming, don’t be afraid to lead. 

Following is conformity. Leading is courage. 

Attain Power Within

Posted on by in Lifestyle, Philosophy and tagged , , , , , , , , , , , .

“Things have no hold on your soul. They have no access to it, cannot move or direct it. It is moved and directed by you alone. It takes the things before it and interprets them as it sees fit.”

— Marcus Aurelius  

The only true & lasting power in this life you will have is within yourself.  

Politicians & governments seek to control people, but they can’t control you if you don’t let them.  

It’s easy to give up your mind and spirit – almost everyone is doing it. 

What is difficult yet empowering is to take control of yourself. To dream your life & live it. 

To not be distracted by the people & things outside of yourself; To not be pushed and pulled by the world. 

And to not try to push or pull others or the world. But to simply lead & live your life – with your own beliefs & perspective, and NOT the perspective of your government or schemers outside of you.  

Real power comes from within.
