David Icke is....

A lil wacky...But in the same alley. I too have a soft spot for mixing dream with reality. Science-Fi with Spirituality with Politics and Lucid Dreaming. Daily Living.Technology. I too am basket case at times, I suppose. But not really.

Notes from the video: Project for the New American Century...Conspiracy Theories are not "conspiracy" theories...America is not an open society...Can Bush tie his shoelaces?...Human Energy causes natural disasters, centralization of power, human as clones, George Orwell 1984, secret societies in control. Anyway, watch him level the man who made him the laughing stock of his place for the past ~16 years for being "DIFFERENT" (for thinking for himself).


 

Skitt

Me, Skittles, and my computer screen
 
He is empty too
but all I need

I'm am through trying to prove anything to anyone
or pretending I can be anything to anybody but me

I cant wrap wires around intangible things
OR add fuel to fires that were never even burning

AND Loyalty and Trust is just a joke
BUT only because you continuously think it so

i will not
NOT be me
I will not be scared to share who I am with Technology

The name of none and everything

That is real
This is
Freedom

And

I AM

This

Zeitgeist the movie: towatch

And then said a teacher, "Speak to us of Teaching."

And he said:

No man can reveal to you aught but that which already lies half asleep in the dawning of our knowledge.

The teacher who walks in the shadow of the temple, among his followers, gives not of his wisdom but rather of his faith and his lovingness.

If he is indeed wise he does not bid you enter the house of wisdom, but rather leads you to the threshold of your own mind.

The astronomer may speak to you of his understanding of space, but he cannot give you his understanding.

The musician may sing to you of the rhythm which is in all space, but he cannot give you the ear which arrests the rhythm nor the voice that echoes it.

And he who is versed in the science of numbers can tell of the regions of weight and measure, but he cannot conduct you thither.

For the vision of one man lends not its wings to another man.

- Khalil Gibran (my favorite)

It's no secret

A response to "The Secret": The Super Dooper Dooper Secret of All Humanity and All Creation! (j/k)

The Secret, the title for another self help book/dvd isn't much more than a reminder of the same principles self help books, movies and motivational speakers have been saying for decades, if not centuries. Books like these are making internal discord, strife and empty pockets more apparent. (the exact opposite of what they set out to do, i presume) Of course, there are some self-help books that can massage many of our "unfortunate" minds pointing towards insight, light, and perhaps an awakening. And sure, it is okay to support and consume them. But not in the same way television is watched hours on end, and not in the same way food is taken for granted and eaten mindlessly day out, day in. Who is this book being marketed to anyway? Is it for the peeps who watch Oprah on a daily basis; who buy only top sellers? Is it for the crying & trying everyday folk like me? Is it for everybody? Sure, the pursuit of happiness is human nature, right? So maybe we should all just read/watch this?

And if we ever do or have already, we need to know (if we don't) that there is way more to the formula than the Secret can offer. From the Integral Institute's conversation with Julian Walker & Ken Wilber:

As with any “you create your own reality” schema, The Secret fails what can be called “the Auschwitz test.” According to The Secret, everyone who was murdered at Auschwitz—or Rwanda, or Darfur—created that reality for themselves, and therefore they are to blame for their fate.  For obvious reasons, this position is an unconscionable as it is untenable. 

• By teaching that the world quite literally revolves around you, The Secret encourages and entrenches narcissism.  In developmental psychology, narcissism doesn’t mean an unhealthy obsession with thinking only about yourself, it means you can’t think about yourself.  The capacity for self-reflexive awareness just isn’t there. The entire world and everyone in it is simply an extension of your-self,and you are literally unable to take the perspective of another human being.  This is not mystical union; this is pre-rational fusion, and without the ability to take the perspectives of other sentient beings, the entire foundation for ethics evaporates.

 

• Actually, you are creating the universe moment-to-moment, but it’s not the “you” that you think.  According to the great contemplative traditions, every person has at least two “selves”: the finite, temporal, egoic self-sense, and the infinite, transcendental, unqualifiable Self,or I-AMness.  Your Self, your I-AMness, is indeed giving rise to the entire radiant Kosmos in this and every moment, but The Secret teaches that your separate self has the power to personally manifest a new car, win the lottery, or cure cancer… and this simply isn’t how things work.  

 

• “The Law of Attraction” is true—as far as it goes.  The problem is that The Secret takes this one relatively small piece of the puzzle and makes it the entire puzzle.  A positive outlook will change your life and your intentions will co-create your reality, but so will brain chemistry, interior level of development, family relationships, natural disasters, cultural trends, language structure, environmental toxins, and, basically, the slings and arrows of outrageous fortune.

 

• Developmentally, if one uses a scale ranging from archaic to magic to mythic to rational to pluralistic to integral to super-integral, The Secret teaches the magical thought structures that were humanity’s leading edge several hundred thousand years ago.  Ken Wilber explains, The Secret encourages childlike “primary process thinking,” which can be in the form of “the law of attraction” (e.g., if one black thing is bad, then all black things are bad) and “the law of contagion”(e.g., if this particular man was powerful, then a lock of his hair must be powerful too).

AND ANYWAY, "it’s not about what they believe, it’s about why they believe, how they come to believe, how they don’t recognize they’re believers, how they treat people who don’t believe, and how they don’t recognize when they’re hypnotized by believing".~Steven Sashen

Joseph Campbell

Are myths just foolish old stories believed by the gullible and the superstitious? Or do they still exert a powerful pull on our minds and in our lives? 

For the past couple of nights we watched a classic PBS series (which I rented from Netflix), of the renowned teacher and storyteller Joseph Campbell (1904-1987). We set out to explore the meaning myths have in our daily lives. Each of the six episodes --"The Hero's Adventure," "The Message of the Myth," "The First Storytellers," "Sacrifice and Bliss," "Love and the Goddess," and "Masks of Eternity"-- focuses on a character or theme found in mythologies of various cultures and religions. In his lively discussions with Bill Moyers, Campbell argues eloquently that these timeless archetypes continue to exert a powerful pull on our unconscious.  It was a nice retreat:)
