  • In a world plagued by lies and deceit, where does one find truth?

    On a daily basis, our consciousness is susceptible to incredible amounts of propaganda via media, advertisements, signs and symbols, which govern many decisions we may think we have independently made.

    Our general foods have become unhealthy to a large extent, slowly but surely decimating our already weakened minds, which is a known and passively accepted scenario.

    Pollution, radiation and chemicals are destroying our biosphere, which in turn effects the consciousness of every single individual (after all we are all made up of frequencies and vibrations)

    Media and politics make a fool of us, and produce no positive mental stimulation. Our governments have become our adversaries and no longer (or maybe never did) care for the people.

    When will we stop accepting the madness? Why don't we implement a new paradigm which is beneficial to all?

  • Do you with agree with this excerpt based on the degradation of humanity?

    We are brought up in an environment where self pride usurps truth. Lower states of consciousness, slave to their egos, abide by dogmatic morals in order to appease their counterparts. Why? Due to a lack of understanding. The persuasion of the subconscious has been a dominating factor in the decline of our species, in a mental and spiritual manner. Indoctrination may be subtle and consciously imperceptible but has the power to govern almost any thought you may think you have independently thought of.

    Our minds are the foundation of everything, our subconscious harnesses information while our conscious minds try to interpret them. The influence of the subconscious is the key to the government of humanity, as people are becoming more susceptible to persuasion. How has this come about? Degradation of mental and physical well-being. Drugs (Foods, Alcohol, Cigarettes, Chemicals, Television, Radiation and propaganda) destroy the very cells of which we are comprised of.

    How to overcome

    One needs to have a clear mind without preconceived illusions placed before us. We need to see the light of day without obscurity. Rid your self of wanting and focus your thoughts on truth and clarity.

  • Is it not time for change?

    The structure is broken, we know this.

    what are the next steps?

    repair a broken economy or strive to create a new, improved one?

    too many people are living in poverty and despair.

    why is this not the main problem of which to resolve?

    Has the veil been pulled too far, blinding us and making us oblivious to the obvious?

    Do you feel that there is something that need be learnt?

    Is there something that you need to contribute?

    Is it for your personal experience of which to evolve from?

  • Doesn't the Placebo Effect open up the door to so much more possibilities?

    The Placebo Effect proves that mind over matter is indeed the case.

    People have had successful 'operations' without having been operated on.

    People have been relieved of rashes, pain, anxiety and even smoking from taking what they thought was medicine (although they were just sugar pills).

    It all goes to suggest that the mind has direct influence over the environment as everything within our biosphere is connected and interconnected.

    Should this not be further studied and recognised as a tool of which to do great things? It seems that all we need to do is believe

  • The internet will soon be a limited package?

    Watch this space.

    In the not so distant future, you will have your choices of social media (facebook, msn,yahoo etc), news (BBC, Telegraph and other and other mainstream propaganda) and some others like youtube and other crap. Many useful sites will be blocked or censored.

    Censorship will be soon and the ramifications will be grand.

    Their reasons - Ridding child porn and other offensive material.

    Illegal Downloads

    Ulterior motives - Controlling flow of information

    Getting rid of negative reviews from large corporations

    Creating completely like minded individuals lost in a sea of ignorance

  • Is it not time to eradicate money and implement a new paradigm?

    Why not create a better structure which can be utilised to actually aid ALL people?

    Why not prioritise on environmental sustainability and human development, which are the pillars and the very foundation of our being?

    Why not end world hunger, improve the education system, rid poverty and live prosperously? We all know our current policies on money, politics and law wouldn't allow us to do so, so why do we not strive to change that?

    Weren't governments created for the purpose of working for the people?

    Should their job then not be to implement strategies of which allows us all to thrive?

    It may seem unfathomable to some, but we have the resources to manifest abundance on a physical and spiritual level.

    Why do you think you never hear debates about this sort of thing on your television or in the newspapers?

    Why do you think Egypt, Brazil, Turkey, Spain (2011), Iceland and other countries have been protesting en masse ?

    Our collective awakening has begun, be one of the leaders.

  • What made Jesus so special?

    Aren't we (according to most Christians) ALL Gods children?

    And what about all the people that were killed for witchcraft in medieval times?

    What makes them any less than jesus?

    and what if jesus was born in that era? Would you think the same of him today?

    the irony is that people praise a deity that represents a heightened state of consciousness yet it is all inherent within us, and worshiping something else takes away the power that once was yours, don't minimize yourself, you are jesus, we all are.

    Is it not the principles and ideologies that should be practiced? No offence but modern religion does not designate any fundamental practices of self development, but is rather based on worship and money..

    If modern religion worked then enlightenment would be abundant within our rich Earth, but this is not the case, yet many continue through their application of faith? IE. Blind submission.

    So Christians, do not quote Bible passages PLEASE! But rather give me a dignified and logical response as to why a religious path is fulfilling and worthwhile?

  • Do you have the characteristics of a psychonaut?

    As in delving into altered states of consciousness in order to expand perception/awareness.

    This need not be through drugs, but could be achieved habitual meditation, binaural beats,(possibly experienced sun gazing?) or trance induction such as hypnosis.

  • Why did left handedness used to be shunned? Why does it have such a negative history?

    Even the word 'sinister' derives from latin which translates to left handed.

    In Anglo Saxon 'lyft' meant weak.

    In French, gauche means "left" and is also a synonym of maladroit, literally "not right", meaning "clumsy". Spanish, Italian, Portuguese and German have similar constructs.

    In some Asian countries and other parts of the world, namely Taiwan, left handed children were forced to convert to right hand.

    So why does it have such a negative history?

  • We are constantly evolving as each day passes?

    I believe that the key to our evolution is an expansion of consciousness on a singular and collective level. Through time and experience - our perception changes, our wisdom increases and thus our consciousness heightens.

    Each day brings new realms of enlightenment within individuals and within society, some progressing faster than others.There are also many paths to the same initiative but yet again, some paths allow for more progression in shorter time (higher consciousness through meditation, exercise, healthy diet & emanation of positive vibrations ie. positive thoughts/emotions)

    should striving for human development not be a priority? why not make the best of ourselves before we attempt making the best of the world? I think on a philosophical, psychological and somewhat spiritual level, we understand the concept. As they say, you cannot love another until you love yourself, you cannot protect someone until you are able to protect yourself.

    Same goes with many aspects including our ways of living, let us evolve!

  • I have poured my soul into this hoping that you may help me understand?

    I am posting this question in Philosophy as i always seem to get the most unbiased, insightful and inquisitive answers in this section.

    I wholeheartedly swear to all of you that what i am about to tell you is the absolute truth and i have no intent or purpose on lying to you, i am just looking for answers that may help me understand things further than i already do. Here goes :

    About 15 years ago, my wise and enigmatic grandfather shocked our family when he stated that he was able to heal people with his hands. As people at the time would, we thought he went loony. He then went on to explain that he was able to manipulate his inner energy and control it which in turn can be used to heal others.

    Ofcourse no one would believe him until they saw it first hand. But despite the fact that it seemed to bend the boundaries of common logic, we saw first hand this 'miraculous' feat when he got a disabled man walking out of his wheelchair. Now keep in mind that this was not done in public and neither was it for money, as he thought that such a gift would get destroyed if used improperly.

    Ofcourse after such circumstances, word an spread rather rapidly and before you know it, people were outside his front door offering wads of cash and expensive items in return for his services.

    (SORRY FOR THE LENGTH OF THIS BY THE WAY, IT NEEDS TO BE TOLD)

    Now this all took place in space of a couple weeks when one day a man, whose identity is unknown to me, arranged an informal meeting with my grandfather in which he so kindly accepted. From that day on my grandfather lost his ability along with his mind. that day he explained that once this man shook his hand, he felt all his energy leave his body and he knew instantly that it was over. Funny enough, my father was keeping notes of my grandfathers progress and techniques at the time which disappeared along with the stranger that i have no doubt had caused the demise of my grandfather.

    The years following, he was put on lots of medication and was even sent to a mental hospital for a few months as he became largely unresponsive to people and to pain (as in taking super hot showers without realising). in the end, a few years ago, he overdosed on his medication due to excruciating pain he was starting to receive.

    In the years following, he has given me the inspiration to pursue and transcend our understanding of the metaphysical realm.

    My hope is that you found this insightful and you can help me somehow find meaning to this. Was he murdered? did he have burnout? did he not do the right techniques?

    And please, do only reply if you have something valid to say as this is a slightly sensitive subject.

    if you do not believe me, then there is no need to reply.

  • What do you think of these somewhat philosophical lyrics?

    school, work, obey is all that we do

    it destroys our youth and our creativity too

    brainwashed by all the subjects we take

    screamed at by all the mistakes we make

    please stop forcing misinfomation in my head

    your morals and dogma are making people braindead

    manipulated by rules and compliance

    to pass this test is your only reliance

    forming clones and preparing their days

    for their eventual graduation as newborn debtslaves

    regurgitate and cooperate

    conform and discriminate

    this will make you rich and free

    just leave your soul behind with me

    How do we overcome, transcend and elevate?

    Is it Evolution, Revolution or do we leave it up to fate?

    Our current system won't do much good to you
