We The People

Imperfection

Ignorance Is Bliss

Hello World.

Been a while since my last post... 

So I guess I'll kick it off with a small drawing I made a couple of months ago.

Sorry about the quality, the original size was around 3400 x 2500 or something like that and I had to re-size it with a program since none of the default options on Blogger suited the blog... so i suppose it came out a little blurry but ah well you'll get the point! 

While a few of you have already seen this, some of my readers asked me to put this photo up with sort of an explanation to it, so here it is:

Nos Autem Populus

Alright where do I start... The main body of the pyramid represents our society, "the world we have built" so to say... 

As you might have figured already, the man who's kneeling in the fire trying to climb the pyramid represents man kind and our planet earth as one, I suppose by portraying us in such a form I tried to convey the point that whatever we do to ourselves, in the aftermath is also reflected upon our planet... and vice versa.

In the drawing, we (The Man) are reaching towards the eye, this eye is NOT god, what the eye represents is our "Higher Self", It's the ultimate state of being, the absolute apex of our existence, but this state of being is being kept away from us...

It is being kept away by the distractions which are consuming our lives (which is represented by the barbed wire of course)... the media, money, music, etc... Please note that there is good music, good TV shows, good movies and so on... but common face it people, most of the shit you see on TV now or hear on the radio is purely stupefying trash. 

Now for those of you who couldn't make it out, the stripe on the man's head is representing an eye-patch, I think this is the most important point of my sketch because it tells us that one eye is open.. one is closed. 

What I was trying to put across was that the eye that is open sees only the distractions, it only sees the "Want", where the closed eye represents our ignorance... This eye is also the key to our higher selves, by representing our closed eye as the eye inside the triangle I'm trying to say that we KNOW we are ignorant, we KNOW that we should be doing something better with our lives, we KNOW that these distractions are exactly what they are... distractions. Yet we chose to ignore this knowledge. 

The upsetting part is that this is OUR fault. 

The fire, skeleton bones, and some religious items represent the foundation on which we have built our society on... how on earth could we build paradise when the elementary component of the cornerstone is made up of hundreds and thousands of years worth of hatred, conflict, war & lies... To show this point I've drawn the pyramid (the world we've built) broken & in the process of falling apart.

So yeah I think that covered the main idea... Hope you enjoyed it & I hope I will be posting more often from now on :S 

I'll just leave you guys with this:

The Struggle of Good & Evil: Part 1

The Technique

Perception can be merely the curtain to the truth

Hello World.

I believe that if we want to improve this world we live in, we must start seeing things as they are, and not as they have been shown to us. 

This is quite a big topic so I will break it into three posts, two will illustrate my major points, and with the third I'd simply like to clear up some common misconceptions regarding things such as satanism, Illuminati, and etc... (Part 3 will be released later than the first 2 since it's not as essential! )

Enjoy!

If you want to see some cool pictures check out
88 Brilliant Examples of Forced Perspective

We all have heard of forced perspective... the technique which uses optical illusion to make an object appear farther away, closer, larger, or smaller than it actually is.

No, I'm not telling you this just to show you some cool pictures of what photos people have taken while applying this method.

  

The reason I'm telling you this is because we are subjected to this "forced perspective" on a daily basis,  this technique goes far beyond the "farther away, closer, larger, smaller" illusion.

It is so powerful that it has shaped our world into what it is today. 

We live our lives by a belief system that we create which is based on the facts we hear & see in our day-to-day world. 

This means that, unless we have some deeper sense of thought towards things, we typically shape our believes with whatever the TV shows, News stations, Movies, Music, and the people around us communicate. Which in-turn can sometimes cause a little misunderstanding... and/or even completely influence the way we think, regarding the topic at hand.

For example...

This has happend to me almost every time!

I'm sitting there having a serious / philosophical conversation with a friend about aliens and their existence, and at the very mention of "alien" or "UFO" there is always that one person that overhears it and gives out the little undermining chuckle...

I bet that even some of you reading this right now did the exact same thing! And may even choose to not take me completely serious for the remainder of this post.

than this guy

Well guys... good thing is, you are not to blame!...
okay, you are a little bit to blame, but still...

The reason people do this is because of how Aliens are portrayed in our society.

Whenever we watch the usual Sci Fi movie we get the "Sharp long claws, slimy foul skin, the unquenchable thirst for human flesh... an all-in-all terrifying" alien... After watching such films, of course we'd laugh at the very mentioning of "alien" whenever associated with "real life"...
You'd simply think "haha yeh right... aliens don't exist."

more like this guy

*Fun fact: Scientists say that upon an encounter with an alien, there is a higher chance of him looking more like a humanoid, rather than our handsome little guy up above.

So here you go, now you have a tiny taste of "forced perspective" on other things than simply "images".

This is merely a small yet essential part of the icing on a very large cake regarding this topic, so please go onto part 2 and keep reading !!! :D 

The Struggle of Good & Evil: Part 2

The Curtain

Open your Mind and your Eyes will follow

Hello World.

 I guess you could say that this is the main part of my "Three part post" ...

Enjoy!

I believe that everything that you do bad comes back to you. So everything that I do that's bad, I'm going to suffer from it. But in my mind, I believe what I'm doing is right. So I feel like I'm going to heaven. 

- Tupac Shakur 

This pretty much summed up everything i had to say!

But I'll say it anyway ;)

So, good and bad... or good and evil... whatever you'd like to call it, either way, these two opposing sides have been battling each other since the dawn of mankind... or at least since those terms got invented...

To be honest, to me it seems like "Good & Evil" are two sides to the same coin...

Think about it!

The guardian angel who conquered your enemy in battle was perceived by your enemy as a demon destroyer. 

- Dan Brown

It is all the matter of polarity.

Good & Evil do not exist as we perceive them to be.
They do not exist as how religions display them to be.
They do not exist as how politicians expose them to be.
They do not exist as how most of our movies portray them to be.

They are not two separate figments of existence which must eradicate one another for total domination...

They are simply two half's which when played out in harmony create one divine state of living.

It's like Light and Darkness...
Neither of which is good, just like neither is bad! too much of either one can create an unpleasant condition for all living things on Earth. Yet just enough of each, and a cold hard rock can bloom into a beautiful planet which we live on today.

The dangerous notion which we are currently exhibiting is the thought that one must dominate another...
Light must win against darkness...
Good must win against evil...
or in other words, bluntly said:

obey the curtain of forced perspective, or bad things will happen... but don't worry all is with good intentions for "peace & freedom"...

Although i do not believe in the bible, i do not believe in what religion is trying to enforce on us,
but i do believe that the teachings of Jesus Christ were extremely important... I do Not view him as a Messiah or the person to be worshipped, but simply as a man who tried to make a difference...

And did not He say:

Think not that I came to send peace on earth: I came not to send peace, but a sword.

-  Jesus - Book of Matthew - Chapter 10:34

Right now, we are submitted through this "Forced perspective" induced on us by the control systems... and instead of keeping the balance of the two moralities "good and evil", day by day less and less people choose to stand and fight, to resist... and therefore encouraging this chaos which may break out, should one of these moralities succeed in dominating the other.

Try to look past the curtain... past the forced perspective... and see things as they are, then you will realize that everything has its beauty, and its little faults, everything is equally wrong and right.

If the doors of perception were cleansed, then everything would appear as it is, infinite.

- William Blake

Remember. World Peace is impossible. But an existence better than this one we live in right now IS possible.

Slaves in White Collars

Imprisoned by our own Creation 

Hello World.

A friend of mine encouraged me to write a post on "Freedom" and because it is such a huge topic i simply couldn't resist... after a weeks worth of contemplation I'm finally ready to put my thoughts to paper...well, screen. 

This post on freedom will be a generalized idea on a global scale, rather than a detailed fact/conspiracy rant at one country.
Some of it might be offensive to some people, and it might not be what you want to hear, but it has to be said. 

Enjoy!

Advertisement has us chasing cars and clothes... working jobs we hate so we can buy shit we don't need.

 We're the middle children of history man... no purpose or place, we got no great war, no great depression, our great war is a spiritual war, our great depression is our lives... 

Couldn't think of any better way to say this myself... It's true, we have no war... we have no major crisis...
As i mentioned before in the two part post The Ascension and the Fall of Music our generation has nothing to fight for, don't get me wrong, it's a great thing that such horrors aren't around anymore...

But now all we do is simply live. We drive to work trying to make money in our simple day to day jobs... come home, sit down watch TV, play some video games, go out at night get wasted, party, go home and repeat... everything has become a mindless routine...

So how did we come to terms with this awful condition?

We have become consumers.

Surrounded in a world stained by advertisement, and it's constantly evolving merchandise such as vehicles, fashion, and technology.
Humanity couldn't help but tumble right into its cold, material clasp, and to never bother finding its way back.

There are two ways to be fooled. One is to believe what isn't true; the other is to refuse to accept what is true.

- Soren Kierkegaard

Prolonged exposure to this careless living has bred a generation of extremely ignorant individuals...

By careless living I don't mean that we just sit at home and do absolutely nothing while letting our time go to waste...
I mean that we are so consumed in our own little image of reality that we simply don't see the big picture... we don't see that everything we say, everything we eat, drink, wear, buy, and so forth... perpetuates the undesirable way of life we are now living.

We blindly follow the media, we throw money away for the "hottest" trends, we imitate our celebrities...

We became slaves of the system. Instead of working towards making a change in this world, we now live to feed our innermost "wants". We work jobs we hate, to buy shit we don't need, with the illusion of freedom in mind we think that this duvet of "stuff" will complete us as a person, and will create a more sensual existence.

We are nothing but angry dogs that get a steak thrown to them as a distraction for what the people in power are truly intending to do.

The illusion of freedom will continue as long as it's profitable to continue the illusion. At the point where the illusion becomes too expensive to maintain, they will just take down the scenery, they will pull back the curtains, they will move the tables and chairs out of the way and you will see the brick wall at the back of the theatre.

- Frank Zappa

The Grand Illusion: World Peace

The Truly Inconvenient Truth

To have world peace we must change who we are... Human.

Hello world.

First I'd like to say that I find this topic very hard to discuss... and to me it seems as a very touchy subject because, don't we all hope for world peace?

Now I'd like to make sure that you and I are on the same page, and that you can understand my perception of what us humans imagine world peace to be. If you type into your Google search engine:

"Define World Peace"

something along these lines will show up:
World peace is an ideal of freedom, peace, and happiness among and within all nations and/or peoples.
...An ideal of freedom, peace, and happiness... within all nations & people. Wouldn't that be the perfect life to live? The perfect world to live in? Freedom, peace, and happiness to anyone and everyone? I'd say so. 

In my understanding, to build a truly perfect world, it requires perfect builders... but haven't we learnt over these hundreds of thousands of years living on this planet that we people.. are not perfect? we all make mistakes, we all have our faults, after all we're only human right? so how can we, such flawed creatures, build this perfect world which we so hopefully long for?

Since our basic human traits prevent us from achieving this perfect world naturally could there be another way? It seems like not too long ago, we have figured out the answer... or have we?

Arthur Henderson, the President of the Disarmament Conference of 1932 once said:

"To solve the problem of organizing world peace we must establish world law and order."
- Arthur Henderson

I have chosen this quote because it seems to be the best suiting quote to explain how we people are currently trying to achieve this "World Peace", through law and order.
A controlled nation, by one or many governments with specific laws and regulations intact to prevent any actions which may ruin this "world peace".
Not a bad plan right?
Could this bring us peace? Yeh most likely...
Could this bring us happiness? sure why not...
But will this bring us freedom? ... I'll leave this question for you to answer :)

Right now I'd like to refer to a episode of Star Trek... yes star trek, the very first original episode "The Cage" where the former captain of the legendary U.S.S Enterprise, Captain Christopher Pike had been captured by the Talosians which were highly evolved humanoids ... well simply people with big heads emphasizing their enormous and all-powerful brain.

The episode continues by Captain Pike attempting to break out of their prison while the aliens make him undergo scenarios by creating powerful illusions.

Now that's not the point, the reason i mention this episode is because no matter how wonderful they had created the surroundings for Captain Pike to live in, no matter that they had provided him with a very beautiful woman to be his, and his only, he still made his one and only priority to break free even when it meant putting his and two of his fellow comrades lives at risk to pull off a very dangerous bluff of self destruction.

At the end of the episode before letting Captain Pike return to his Star Ship one of the three aliens said:

We had not believed this possible, the customs and history of your race show a unique hatred of captivity... even when it's pleasant and benevolent, you prefer death.

My point is that no matter how wonderful a life under a strictly government controlled environment that ensures peace and happiness may be, the exact same human traits which prevent us from creating the perfect world for us to live in, also prevent us from being captives even in the most wonderful of environments. People always have and always will strive for freedom, peace, and happiness, but as long as we are humans.. (meant in a deeper way rather than just appearance) there will be no "World Peace".

I'd like to extend to you folks a little and yet meaningful silver lining to this sorrowfully concluded post:

It is a little piece of wisdom from another Star Trek episode (yes i know i know...) This little clip is from the episode "A Taste of Armageddon", upon destroying the machines which kept the nations of Eminiar VII destruction free by simulating a computerized calculated war and sending the calculated casualties to the "Disintegration Chambers" where they will be killed as a result of the war. Captain Kirk offers an alternative and more peaceful solution. (the whole point was so that instead of destroying real houses and cities, the computer can simply calculate who dies and then the government would execute those people ensuring a flourishing society)

"Don't you see? we've admitted it to ourselves! we're a killer species... it's instinct - Councilman"

The instinct can be fought, we're human beings, with the blood of million savage years on our hands, but we can stop it. We can admit that we're killers, but we are not going to kill today, that's all it takes, knowing that we're not going to kill today. - Captain James T. Kirk

Thank you for reading this.

Live long and prosper ;)
