The conspiracy behind the conspiracy theory

New World Order (NWO), the Illuminati, Freemasonry, communism, socialism and terrorism are labels that are used to define a vague enemy. This enemy has large scale manipulative plots that shall bring the world to its tragic end.

Now, even if there is truth in the theories of conspiracy, why do we spend our precious time on learning & teaching them?

Here is the deal, conspiracy is like office gossip: a very interesting scoop of juicy stories about people (we don't care about) but, we still waste our precious time and attention over.


These things occupy the vacant mind and keep it wandering around with out a purpose (now try saving the world, voltron)


We can not counter these conspiracies because in reality there will always be some one plotting and manipulating for their own gain, with and with out considering the consequences.

MEDIOCRE, NEXT!

We have always feared mediocrity, belonging to the rest of the masses and everyone we call normal are those we do not know.

The simple mind-ness of the ego made us believe that the rest of people are incapable of being anything remarkable because it is a "thought consuming" process.

Once we upgrade a person from being normal to something more special, having more value, the ego is moved in awe.

The ego will need a lot of effort to get back its status in our imaginary world, i.e. being the special one. That's why it is easier for him/her to disregard most of the people it meets.

What's beginner's luck anyway?

Picasso

It is acting in a way such that the person isn't aware of the risks, the possibilities and the real deal. It is performance sans ego. It is acting with a certain level of ignorance, accepting and acknowledging such incompetency.

To start with the confidence that you have nothing to lose, not your time, your money or your reputation is the key object to getting luck at your side.

The time comes when a person develops status, reputation and an identity. The identity that normally an ego sides with.

As soon as you have that formed identity, the mind is occupied with certain facts from ego, and the master gets busy protecting the newly found identity, the ego.

How often do we hear about the humbleness of great minds, too good to have an ego. The saying "little person, big ego" is nothing but truth.

In biographical documentations of world's great artists, an artist is usually portrayed as suffering right before his masterpiece is delivered. Suffering to a level of self loath and hate. To a level of major depression. Until there's no ego involved in the process of producing the piece of art.

The different types of happiness

We usually confuse happiness with pleasure. Needs with wants. Satisfaction with settlement, and patience with power.

Happiness is long-lasting, it is a continuous state of mind. Happiness is like the ambient light of a picture, it will show even in the details. It will show despite the shortcomings. In a picture, in spite of the color blotches.

Wants are from Ego. They are pushy, high level, mostly gets you an instant sense of pleasure. It is in the details. When there's too much detail in a picture, the picture gets over-whelmed, crowded, not easy on the eye. Ugly.

To be happy is to embrace flaws, accept them. Giving up some of the details, not to mess up the whole picture.

What is normal?

Jason Brooks (c)

Normal, in scientific terms, is belonging to the 70 percentile under the bell curve. It is call it normality. Even if it is not the right decision, people will often choose to belong to wherever majority are standing. Because it feels safe.

In pre-modern societies, it was widely accepted to treat ethnic groups alien to yours like slaves because it was a norm. Everybody did it.

Norm is also called going along with the flow. Following trends instead of questioning them.

To act mindfully is to question norms, and good questions start with a why.

How your words travel in time & space

"some... seem to be angry with images for not being things, and with words for not being feelings.

"Words and images are like shells, no less integral parts of nature than are the substances they cover, but better addressed to the eye and more open to observation"

―George Santayana

Sometimes you wonder if the other person ever noticed how genuine (or fake) you were?

As a matter of mere realization, there are two zones of communication with others... the first is where our five senses are. It is where materials, logic & reasoning thrive.

In the other zone, the mind and sixth sense happen to be. It is where a book takes you, dreams are made, and people who pray and meditate abandon the world for. In the other zone belong trance and extacy.

Sensorial, the senses of the first zone, serves as a filtering gateway to the mind. If one had the five senses working well but was not present-minded, the senses are useless.

Unlike the old times, the mind today is almost always fully occupied with the sensorial. We often miss out a lot of the second zone's pleasures and peacefulness. Now if the mind is busy processing matters of the sensorial, mind becomes of no use.

In our communications with each other we often feel other's emotions trembling space. Even through the stale paper of a book written centuries ago, emotions can be felt.

When things are done emotionally, they get through better than having them done senselessly or even thoughtfully...

If a mind is involved, it is not just communication, it is actual acting and changing. An unseen, concealed kind of acting and changing.

What love is...

Human Heart (Mine) [(c) unknown]

Love starts with a condition --I will love you for your love, time, status, gifts, or even food.

Time changes this conditional love to an unconditional, pure love. Motherly love. 

i.e. a woman remains loyal and caring to her violent husband. Customers remain loyal despite the company's fraudulence. People love their country even though it is not so good.

Conditional love is worldly love. The ego needs it. I wants love and Attention.

Unconditional love is related to the mind, the "altered conscious". It is why parents wake up from sleep even before their child cries. It is why a person calls you when they suddenly come to your mind.
