“A writer can do nothing for men more necessary, satisfying, than just simply to reveal to them the infinite possibility of their own souls.” – Walt Whitman.

1. QUESTION EVERYTHING:

We are surrounded by certainty, we feel we have somehow stumbled across such original thoughts, we feel our ideas are our own. Yet if we stop to look around, if we step back a moment and take a hard look at what it is that defines us, we can’t help but be struck by the fact that quite a few of our beliefs are shared by society. Have we stopped to think about where our intrinsic beliefs come from? The critical question here is – was it an ingenious act of persuasion? – you know, are we victim to the ancient art of convincing someone to do what you want by coaxing him to believe that it was his idea to begin with?

Just how much of what you think is you is really you? When we begin to ask these questions, we begin to retrace the origins of our very thinking – a kind of thinking that more than often happens to be shared by communities – in other words; a common, fundamental, paradigm. We begin to step back for the first time and see these paradigms as merely one possibility. We begin to ask; why this? Why not that? What empowers me? What imprisons me? What connects me? What alienates me?

We can’t even begin to ask these questions until we stop to retrace the origin of things. This forum is created in this spirit, with great passion and versatility, not for the sake of solutions – but the sake of your infinite possibility. This is the first initiative.

Lucifer, God, Buddha and the Polarity Integration Game.

Peering Into the Mind of God – Through the Buddha. (He finally answers the God question.

From “Cosmic Voyage” by Courtney Brown:

In the early period of these investigations into the ET enigmas, at the same time that I suggested to my monitor that I would like to use Scientific remote viewing (a trainable mental procedure that can assist a person in obtaining accurate and detailed information from distant locations – both in time and space) to interview Jesus, we decided to include the personalities of Guru Dev and Buddha on the list as well.

Buddha himself was an unknown to me. Quite honestly, I wanted to include him so that I could obtain discussions with a cross-section of great spiritual leaders in my analysis. But I did not know much about Buddha. In short, he was an unknown to me.

Nonetheless, Buddha was not insulted by my lack of knowledge of him. He has always been somewhat of a mystery personality in my understanding. Indeed, in the session that I will present now, he remains so, but at the same time, he teaches more about the meaning of life than I could ever imagine learning without assistance in one lifetime. Simply, this SRV session was the most beautiful experience I have ever had while remote viewing:

The Nazarene.

An Excerpt from “The Only Planet of Choice.” by PHYLLIS V. SCHLEMMER. This is a mediumistic work, the person referred to as ‘Tom’ is a spokesperson for the Extraterrestrial Council of Nine.

It is when replying to a questioner who has used another term than ‘The Nazarene’ that Tom uses the term ‘Christ’ or ‘Jesus’. The Nine call him the Nazarene. This chapter deals with the Nazarene as a person, his origins and mission and it needs no introduction, the transmissions speak for themselves….

GUEST: On Earth, there are many ideals for God: could you indicate which of these ideals most closely match the ideals of the Nine?

Tom: The ideal given by the man called Christ, as he was the last of us to visit Planet Earth.

GUEST: And of those descriptions of Christ given in the Bible, which is the most accurate?

Tom: There are many misinterpretations in your Bible. It is true that the man you call Christ lived a normal, human existence, but he was a man of discretion and he walked with discretion among the people.

An Atheist and a Spiritualist: The Friendship Between Kamal Haasan and Rajnikanth.

In south India, in the state of Tamil Nadu, there are two superstars in the film industry. Two men, Rajnikanth and Kamal Haasan, who entered the film industry in the 1970s and have grown into incomparable powerhouses. Kamal is an actor par excellence. Rajnikanth, on the other hand, oozes with magnetism, like Michael Jackson leaping onto a stage. You will have to see them both in action to see what I mean.

Both men were strong-willed and brutish when they started out, but with time, age, and appreciation for where they have come, a sense of gratitude has really softened them.

Rajnikanth used to have a quick temper, and the pitch-black look of a panther. But at the turn of the century he became very spiritual and began going to the Himalayan mountains to live with the yogis. He became increasingly simple-hearted. If he goes out in public, he does not bother with appearances. Bald now, with a disheveled face, he carries himself purely on self-trust. If you ask him what his secret to success is, he will say, “All glory to God.”

Kamal Haasan, on the other hand, is an intellectual from the marrow of his bones to the pores of his skin. He is a humanitarian. He believes in the love of people for each other. In human goodness.

Alexander and the Sage (Utopia in Ancient India).

An excerpt from “Autobiography of a Yogi” by Paramhansa Yogananda.

Asoka was a grandson of the formidable Chandragupta Maurya (known to the Greeks as Sandrocottus), who in his youth had met Alexander the Great. Later Chandragupta destroyed the Macedonian garrisons left in India, defeated the invading Greek army of Seleucus in the Punjab, and then received at his Patna court the Hellenic ambassador Megasthenes.

Intensely interesting stories have been minutely recorded by Greek historians and others who accompanied or followed after Alexander in his expedition to India. The narratives of Arrian, Diodoros, Plutarch, and Strabo the geographer have been translated by Dr. J. W. M’Crindle to throw a shaft of light on ancient India. The most admirable feature of Alexander’s unsuccessful invasion was the deep interest he displayed in Hindu philosophy and in the yogis and holy men whom he encountered from time to time and whose society he eagerly sought. Shortly after the Greek warrior had arrived in Taxila in northern India, he sent a messenger, Onesikritos, a disciple of the Hellenic school of Diogenes, to fetch an Indian teacher, Dandamis, a great sannyasi of Taxila.

“Hail to thee, O teacher of Brahmins!” Onesikritos said after seeking out Dandamis in his forest retreat. “The son of the mighty God Zeus, being Alexander who is the Sovereign Lord of all men, asks you to go to him, and if you comply, he will reward you with great gifts, but if you refuse, he will cut off your head!”

The yogi received this fairly compulsive invitation calmly, and “did not so much as lift up his head from his couch of leaves.”

“I also am a son of Zeus, if Alexander be such,” he commented. “I want nothing that is Alexander’s, for I am content with what I have, while I see that he wanders with his men over sea and land for no advantage, and is never coming to an end of his wanderings.

Introduction to the Resource Based Economy Model.

The following is a transcript of the description of Jacques Fresco’s resource based economy as highlighted in the documentary – “Zeitgeist: Moving Forward.“

A study done in the UK called The WhiteHall Study confirmed that there is a social distribution of disease as you go from the top of the socioeconomic ladder to the bottom. For example, it was found that the lowest rungs of the hierarchy had a 4-fold increase of heart disease based mortality compared to the highest rungs. And this pattern exists, irrespective of access to health care. Hence – the worse a person’s relative financial status the worse their health is going to be on average. This phenomenon is rooted in what could be termed ‘Psychosocial Stress’ and it is at the foundation of the greatest social distortions plaguing our society today. Its cause? The Monetary-Market System. Make no mistake: The greatest destroyer of ecology the greatest source of waste, depletion and pollution the greatest purveyor of violence- war – crime – poverty – animal abuse and inhumanity the greatest generator of social and personal neurosis mental disorders – depression, anxiety not to mention, the greatest source of social paralysis stopping us from moving into new methodologies for personal health, global sustainability and progress on this planet is not some corrupt government or legislation not some rogue corporation or banking cartel not some flaw of human nature and not some secret hidden cabal that controls the world. It is, in fact: The Socio-Economic System itself at its very foundation.

Occupy Energy Movement.

I think the Occupy Wall-Street and other “places” movement is striking at shadows.

Let me explain:

Us being aware of what is going on is their weakness.
Us being unaware of what is going on is their strength.

As long as people believe that it’s all just people stumbling along, corporations stumbling along, governments stumbling along… everyone means well, are generally ignorant, but are trying to make the best of things and sometimes get greedy and create dysfunctional systems (by the way, this is the majority world paradigm about what people think is happening)… as long as people believe this, they are subjected to slavery.

People think – as a world paradigm – that there is no such thing as free energy. How could there be? If the government or scientists found it, we would be using it by now.

Right?

Consciousness, Witnessing and Awareness.

What is the difference between awareness and witnessing? 

There is much difference between awareness and witnessing. Witnessing is still an act; you are doing it; the ego is there. So the phenomenon of witnessing is divided between the subject and the object.

Witnessing is a relationship between subject and object.

Awareness is absolutely devoid of any subjectivity or objectivity. There is no one who is witnessing in awareness; there is no one who is being witnessed. Awareness is a total act, integrated; the subject and the object are not related in it; they are dissolved. So awareness doesn’t mean that anyone is aware; nor does it mean that anything is being attended to.

Awareness is total – total subjectivity and total objectivity as a single phenomenon – while in witnessing a duality exists between subject and object. Awareness is nondoing; witnessing implies a doer. But through witnessing awareness is possible, because witnessing means that it is a conscious act; it is an act, but conscious. You can do something and be unconscious – our ordinary activity is unconscious activity – but if you become conscious in it, it becomes witnessing.

So from ordinary unconscious activity to awareness there is a gap that can be filled by witnessing.

What is a Paradigm-Shift?

Five Monkeys:

Start with a cage containing five monkeys. Inside the cage, hang a banana on a string and place a ladder under it. Before long, a monkey will go to the ladder and start to climb towards the banana. As soon as he touches the ladder, spray all of the monkeys with cold water. After a while, another monkey makes an attempt with the same result – all the monkeys are sprayed with cold water. Pretty soon, when another monkey tries, the other monkeys will leap to prevent it.

Now, put away the cold water.

Remove one monkey from the cage and replace it with a new one. The new monkey sees the banana and goes to climb the ladder. To his horror, the other monkeys attack him. After another attempt, he knows if he touches the ladder he will be assaulted.

Is Utopia a Fairytale?

You know what? To me, that’s the saddest thing in the world. People suffering from starvation is very sad. But to me the root cause of it all is when people are not given the opportunity to make the very most of their own potential. Nothing is as tragic. Because it is the slow death of a mans spirit, not his body. That’s what I want to fight against.

- The Possibility Magazine.

The idea of a Utopian world has turned into a fairytale. Yet, everytime I see the misery around me – particularly when it seems so unnecessary – it has always made me wonder if things could be different.

The reason why I never ventured to actually answer the question – is it possible? – in all these years is because I was surrounded by so many reasons why it is not -

1. Eastern reason – The Universe is cyclic, and thereby humanity will have to be plunged into darkness, and come back into the light, over and over again… because that’s how we learn and refine ourselves. A Utopia exists when the planets align to bless the world… and when the planets step into another alignment, we plunge into darkness again.

2. Western reason – Utopia is not possible because there has not been a single evidence in history of it actually working.

3. Mankind is violent by nature, and revolt against any system – any structure – so there will always need to be some form of policing and government.

4. We tried sharing resources – that’s what socialism is – and look what happened.

5. Everyone wants different things, you please one group at the detriment of another.

Does Communism Exist? – Leninism and Fabianism.

Summary of Leninism & Fabianism…

Collectivism is the concept that government is the solution to most of our problems. A collectivist is a person who believes that solutions come through government action and through coercion using laws. Sacrifice individuals or minorities for the greater good of society.

Collectivism exists today in two forms: Leninism and Fabianism.
