Unique Can Be

I am an original. I am writing this as it comes. I am no empty headed zombie looking to be used and controlled. I am unique. I feel and think about many, many things pertaining to humanity and its many dormant gifts.

I paint as well but have not painted as much as I used to. I really should start it up again. Now, right now. Yep.

Blue and yellow swirls are what I often imagine cloaking the minds of the general public. It isn't often that they understand or are aware of this. But I do believe they try as much as is possible. Whatever that means.

I'm not looking forward to old age but I've come to accept it as an inevitability. If I end up living a hermetic lifestyle then so be it. I've never been one to frequent fascist night clubs or superficial gatherings. I know they do have some merit but only if one is seeking a cheap sexual encounter. Even then there is no guaranteed outcome.

Expectations cause a lot of turmoil. People either expect too much or expect too little. Then when things don't go their way they get all disappointed or frustrated or enraged. They make mountains out of potholes. They enjoy it.

Silly, silly people. When will they learn to appreciate what they already have? I suppose such a question can only be answered quickly and without much consideration. That and people tend to ignore rhetorical questions. Or what they believe to be rhetoric.

I am currently reading Tolstoy and others in an effort to gleen some kind of insight into the behaviors and manners of unconsciously aware peoples. I guess that itself is an expectation but I'm open to it morphing into something else.

I shall soon be 30 years of age and am glad to still be intact on this beautiful Earth. I am an original. One of billions.

My perspective and personality remain my own. Interconnected but unique as unique can be.

Some People

Some people need advice for advice's sake. Others need a sturdy steak knife between their eyeballs and brain. Emotional these people tend to be. Well, only because they are usually ignored by the majority of society.

Now, I only say this in order to expand upon what you may or may not already know. From the time we enter kindergarten and beyond we are all conditioned to behave in a particular manner. I don't know why they bother with such nonsense; especially when it comes to the public school system.

I used to know this homeless guy who spent his days on the corner of Wilshire Blvd. and Truth Ave. spouting off unknown verbs and consonants. Yet, every once in a while he would speak of things like Jesus Christ, Charles Manson, Mother Teresa and Super String Theory. "Why are people afraid to believe in a God? Any God?" This was one of many questions he'd shout at passersby.

At first, nobody paid him mind. I got the feeling he didn't care much for the opinions of others. And even though he rarely begged for change people would still toss him some upon encountering him.

Some time would pass before I'd see him again. Then, almost suddenly, I ran into him at the post office. He was planning on mailing a dozen personal handwritten letters. He had groomed himself nicely and was wearing a fancy gray suit. Of course, he didn't recognize me but when he saw me leaving he said, "Excuse me, sir! Would you happen to have any change to spare? I have some letters to mail."
"I'm sorry but I don't have any change or cash on me at the moment." I replied. "Oh, okay. Well how about a credit card?" He looked quite intent on mailing his letters. "Uh no I don't have any credit cards either. I don't have much credit these days." "Okay. Thanks anyway. Have yourself a good afternoon." And just like that he walked away and vanished.

Some people don't know what they need when they need it. Confused these people are.

Personal Commentary on the Lorax

I recently saw the Lorax too and the whole time I was in the theater I said to myself, "I hope this movie coaxes people out of their apathy." When I looked around I did notice that some scenes indeed touched people in a way that they are not used to. We are in the midst of profound transformation. It stands to reason that at some point all of the negative influences would have no choice but to loosen their grip and eventually fade away. The time has come for all of us to Live long and Prosper!

No More Division

People tend to pay attention to the wrong things. In matters of societal change we've always been divided. Mainstream media has divided us, government has divided us, the banks have divided us, religion has divided us and so many more groups/corporations. I for one no longer see any use for division. The founding fathers rebelled against their own government when others told them not to. Now we must do the same. It is unfortunate but it is necessary.

Love; Light

"Darkness cannot drive out darkness; only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate; only love can do that." -Martin Luther King Jr.

Quoting Abe Lincoln

Any people anywhere, being inclined and having the power, have the right to rise up, and shake off the existing government, and form a new one that suits them better. This is a most valuable - a most sacred right - a right, which we hope and believe, is to liberate the world. Abraham Lincoln 

Universal Love

 Here is something I’ve been wrapping my brain around. It’s a relatively easy concept/idea/perspective to understand. If you believe in love than you should have no problem with digesting it as I have. Let’s imagine that at some point in time/space, before our Universe existed, the only thing that existed was some kind of monolithic accumulation of infinite ever-loving energy. Why was that all that existed? Well, one could not say for sure but it would make sense to believe that there was a certain point when there was no such concept as evil or good. As human beings we tend to forget that good and evil are very human concepts. There is lots of evidence to support this claim. If you were to look at a tree, any tree will do, for an hour or so then you would come to the realization that a tree is neither good nor evil. A tree is just a tree and is quite content with its existence. It does not have the need to define itself or anything else. It has no reason to believe in “good” or “evil.” Just like our own Universe has never needed to believe in good and evil in order to manifest and sustain itself.

Where am I going with this? Imagine that monolithic accumulation of infinite ever-loving energy in a constant cycle of contentment and happiness. Keeping in mind that I am using human terms to describe something that is beyond most human terminology; it is safe to assume that all of that infinite ever-loving energy could only accumulate and exist in one dimension of space for so long until it eventually had to overflow and spill into other dimensions. The best example to illustrate this would be the image of a water-balloon being filled with water until it tears open and spills water everywhere. You could say that infinite ever-loving energy was contained in some kind of cosmic balloon which contained it for as long as it was able to until it was finally stretched to its breaking/tearing point. What usually happens when a water-balloon tears open? The water spills out and onto people, plants, animals, and other objects. It makes sense that the same would happen once that infinite ever-loving energy spilled out of its own “balloon.”

What was the result of this infinite ever-loving energy spilling out into other dimensions? Our Universe (and many other Universes), galaxies, stars, planets, and Life. You may be asking, “How is it that you are so confident about this conclusion?” The reason I am so certain of this conclusion is because of one formula that has been used and proven to be accurate every single time: For EVERY action there is an Equal or opposite Reaction. Just like the bursting water-balloon causes things to get wet; the bursting “cosmic” balloon caused things to become imbued and saturated with that infinite ever-loving energy.

Why did that infinite ever-loving energy manifest into our Universe and other celestial wonders? If YOU remained in one dimension of existence for an eternity upon an eternity and then suddenly broke free wouldn’t you want to experience existence in as many dimensions and forms as possible? Of course you would! If that doesn’t explain it thoroughly enough; I encourage you to find your own answer. I’m not stating this as factual proof. This is just what happens to make the most sense to me at this current stage of my own existence.

So, once our Universe manifested from this infinite ever-loving energy and all the galaxies, stars, and planets formed; the first life forms began to coalesce and take shape. Why? Ah, yes. The most mysterious question of them all. Why are we here? Any answer I give will only be based on my own experience and speculation. In which case there really wouldn’t be any right or wrong answer. Perhaps, this infinite ever-loving energy had experienced all that it could experience from the galaxies, stars, and planets. Thus, it eventually decided it could experience so much more by manifesting into some kind of “physical” being(s) that could interact with other beings and the environment of a planet. To us this would seem like an extremely long process but to this infinite ever-loving energy it occurred instantaneously. Of course, these first life forms were microbial in size but they later gained the ability to become much more complex and eventually were able to reproduce. It makes sense that life should be able to create life.

We all know about the debate over evolution and whether or not it has any validity. I do have my own viewpoint but I prefer not to explain it, not yet. Evolution is just another one of those topics in which everyone wants to be right and there is little room for honest open-minded discussion. So, assuming that human beings are the first forms of intelligent/complex life to evolve into existence (it is very possible that we are not the first), this infinite ever-loving energy began to experience itself in many different ways. It is through human emotion that it has learned about contrast and duality. Concepts such as: Light and Dark, Night and Day, Right and Wrong, Up and Down, Black and White, and Good and Evil. It is also these very concepts that have allowed this infinite ever-loving energy to grow and expand.

I know that for most human beings it can seem almost impossible to move past any negative emotion, especially when you feel/experience it for an extended period of time. As long as you keep in mind that nothing lasts forever and everything is in a constant cycle of renewal; you will always be able to move past each period of negativity. If it weren’t for such states of negativity we wouldn’t be able to grow and evolve as a species. Try to remember a time in which everything in your life was going smoothly and you had everything you could possibly need or want. You shouldn’t have to spend too much time recalling such a memory. During that moment of contentment there was nothing to struggle against. No great lesson to be learned. There was no need to learn anything because during that moment you were probably as content as any human being can be. I’m not stating that contentment or happiness is a bad thing. I’m simply stating that once we have worked through moments of struggle, strife, depression, grievance, apathy, loneliness and a myriad of others, we tend to become much more appreciative of our contented moments. Some people would say that is the sole purpose for our existence. To become aware and appreciative of every moment we spend on this planet. In short, to be HAPPY.

How does the human condition tie into the expansion of this infinite ever-loving energy? Every time you laugh, cry, argue, write, draw, read, walk, smile, sing, dance, and love you are adding to the further accumulation and expansion of this infinite ever-loving energy. Every time you learn a new lesson and grow more as a person, you are helping this infinite ever-loving energy accumulate and expand more. There could very well come a time when this infinite ever-loving energy will accumulate so much that it will burst again and spill out into even more dimensions and manifest into more Universes, galaxies, stars, planets, and life forms. Sounds like a much better possibility than just becoming confined to a limited number of dimensions for an eternity upon an eternity upon an eternity.

There may already be some proof of this claim. Our Universe has been in a constant state of expansion since the moment it was first formed and it is believed that it will continue to expand until it implodes upon itself or is completely torn apart. I encourage you to look this up. Go on and Google the words “Universe” or “Expansion of Universe.” You will find a wealth of information. Luckily, this is not expected to happen for quite some time and probably won’t even be seriously/openly discussed for another 100 million years. Depending on whether or not the human race is still around by then.

Please remember that I am not claiming the existence of an infinite ever-loving energy is 100% factual. It is just what makes the most sense to me right now. It took me a long time to come to such a conclusion. I’ll probably come to a million more conclusions during my lifetime which will either contradict or expand on this one.

I suppose the one thing I would want people to take away from this idea/theory/concept/conclusion of mine is this: “As far as the Universe is concerned, you can do no wrong. Once its existence comes to an end, and it will come to an end, there will only be one thing that survives. Love.”
