Many people ask themselves should I be politically correct? Often it seems that being politically correct is the safest policy for your career, family relations or when discussing issues with friends. But if one never says the truth for fear it might offend are they being honest? Which is more important to have personal integrity or to be PC? That is the question.

Many will complain about your behavior if you say the truth but it could be offensive to someone? They pretend to take the highroad and tell you where you are wrong for saying something that is true, because it is not a nice thing to say. For instance if one says, you know all those International Terrorists who attack us during 911 were Muslim. Oh you cannot say such things because that is not fair to Muslims. And they say a true Muslim would never do such a thing.

Indeed and probably they wouldn’t but those murderers truly believed in Muslim and even did their acts on behalf of Allah or so they claimed. But you cannot say that, even though it is fact that the 911 murderers were all Muslim. This is not to say that this particular is against any religion, fore it is not, this is just one example of our PC world. If someone says your behavior is inappropriate for saying the truth, then perhaps their PC is inappropriate for living a lie.

Perhaps they are right by the new standards in society of telling truth, your behavior really is inappropriate but by whose standards. Should one call an ace an ace and a spade, a spade; why should you or me or them or anyone for that matter deny actual observation? To make everyone who is drown in Political Correctness feel warm and fuzzy; why if fore if one said otherwise and went along with the PC then they would be lying? Is the new paradigm in society to lie and see something that is not there? Are they now asking us to lie and live a lie in political correctness like the rest of humanity? How does that make you feel? Do you agree or disagree? Are you reality based or PC? Are you alive and alert or are you dead and deny your own observations? Think on it.

Is it possible to create a religion of love? A religion which would teach that humans are divinely endowed with love? A religion which teaches, preaches, and helps others find true love. Love of life, love of humanity, and love of environment. Love of Earth, water, and the whole Universe for that matter; can we create a religion for the human race like that?

One man has and he has explained it to me, as he does not belong to any set organized religion, psychology or philosophy, as he says that is part of this very limited reality. A noble statement indeed, if not an absolute and universal truth; so how does such a man live without religion, as he subscribes to none?

Well neither do I really and I live very well. Is a world of love a better reality or state to enjoy one’s life experience? If one creates a new religion, “the religion of love” and has huge masses following that ideal; then surely the world would be better for it right?

Indeed, it could be a very positive thing however such a created religion and point of view is in error of observation of the life experience in the current paradigm and present period. But is it bad; no, one could say it is good actually. Should such a man living a life of love, abundance, caring and infinite limitlessness of all this and more bring forth this concept to better the world? It could be a new religion and one, which saves humanity from itself and keeps it from being doomed and repeating the past.

Such a philosophical question, one could say it is not a true picture of the world and should not be a religion, but you could argue that it would sure make the world a better place. Should such a man with such an ideal break out of this one-sided argument to see the rest for what it is? Or would a new created reality be a breath of fresh air?

Would one with such a positive, but skewed interpretation of the world be able to live without limits thru love or would he and his followers limit their mind and observations? Would such a life or philosophy thus actually put them outside what one could call limitless, because they only saw love and not the other? Fore one has placed themselves into a "Love Box" which is their choice and I assume they would be happy there right? And if so well then good for them, however, asking others to join such a cause, is unfair and would probably only lead to another "religion" gone bad in the end as it would like all religions be used to control, brain wash and manipulate others. After all isn’t that what all religions do?

So maybe one might wish to think this thru at a much higher level as it appears that anyone including this man who created such a religion has the cognitive ability to now go to the next step. Did most religions start with the presumption of all that is good, including love and eventually end up distorted, prostituted and end up in hypocrisy? Yet if all religions eventually end up like this in the end, then why do we allow any of them? Is it okay to live a lie, as long as it was originally based on love? Think on this before you jump into any “love Boxes,” cults or sign up for any Organized Religion; think it thru, all the way thru.

Did you read the uni-bomber manifesto? What did you think of that paper? Although written by a criminal it did have some interesting comments and some things that society should be considering as they advance science and address human interaction in society, as well as the future of human-computer interface.

Soon we may have computer chips hooked to our brains and we will be able to do more things faster with better data and knowledge. I enjoyed reading the "Uni-bomber Manifesto" as he attempted to address these issues in the Data Smog of the current paradigm. Apparently he decided foolishly to do something about it in a very sub-human like way and we all know the story about that; an unfortunate tale of criminality.

If we allow all the human aspects and what it is to be human then there will be fighting in the streets, if we evolve thru our technologies and pay attention to the forward progression, perhaps we can now move into the future period without being doomed to repeat. In most modern societies we have decided to over come those human aspects thru rules of our civilizations, but those aspects are very human. Eventually as population on the Planet becomes more dense some 30 Billion Humans by 2050, we may decide to modify the human brain to prevent the negative aspects of what makes us human or we may decide to stay natural. So should we allow rioting in the streets to make us feel alive and human and fully engaged; is that what it means to be human? Should we celebrate 4-week riots like we saw as France burned or should we re-design ourselves to live in a different way of live?

We need to decide and a national discussion maybe necessary to insure that we make technology work for us and not enslave us. We need to decide how human we wish to remain and how much we can tolerate. Interesting topic for a think tank isn’t it; think on it.

A look at the depth of consciousness and how it can be used in every day life

Most people experience at least three levels of consciousness within their minds, Waking, Dreaming and Sleeping.

But this is a very flat, linear way of looking at the mind. The mind also has depth, as is experienced when transcending in meditation. The mind is a three- or even multi-dimensional experience, which is not limited by either time or space.

Each state of consciousness has its own reality and experiences. If we were dreaming and fell out of an aeroplane only a parachute in the dream state could save us.

In the same way all levels of existence have their corresponding level of consciousness and only by experiencing consciousness on the same level can we hope to have an influence.

Science tells us that consciousness and the movement of thought is an electrical activity that can be measured on an EEG machine. This machine measures the electrical activity in the different parts of the brain. But science also tells us that electrical activity exists at many levels within matter.

The body is a whole being and the mind has the consciousness of the whole. Though the body is also made up of organs and these have their own consciousness. The heart functions on an automatic level of consciousness, giving out waves of energy, which cause the muscles to contract at regular intervals. But within the organ there are cells and within the cells there are molecules and within the molecules there are atoms. At each level the electrical activity operates in its own unique way.

But what is the common theme in this? It is that on all levels of existence there is order, there is progress and evolution and there is intelligence. Science also tells us that, at the finest level of physical existence, there is a vacuum state, a field of pure energy. In this state everything exists in virtual form. This field of pure energy and pure intelligence is the coming together of mind and body: the physical and the mental.

This vacuum state, which is omnipresent, all-pervading, eternal, has been suggested to be a scientific way of looking at the reality of God itself.

So how is this order in nature maintained? It is kept in balance by the existence of opposites. The atom has a nucleus, which is positively charged and electrons, which are negatively charged. The two types attract each other and the speed of movement keeps them apart: forming a balance and equilibrium.

The cells of the body are controlled by the environment in which they find themselves. These have a more sophisticated method of communication, by the use of various hormones and interaction with the DNA. The DNA is like the brain of the cell giving out information and creating the order that forms the structures of the various components of the body.

A group of cells in turn form the components of the organs. These again have their own method of ordering the individual parts.

The main point being the strength of this order: if the cells go off doing their own thing, the system starts to break down. This is the main cause of cancer in our bodies, when cells start to multiply were they shouldn’t.

So how do we strengthen this order, to bring more coherence to our bodies and minds? The easiest way is through meditation and becoming aware of ourselves. This means, in simple terms, taking our conscious mind deep into our subconscious mind, experiencing the subtler levels of thought and of our own physical existence. By reaching the source of thought and becoming in tune with our deepest self, we become in tune with the universe and all that exists in our environment. We become charged with subtle energy and bring this to everything that we do.

Our minds are full of intelligence, but it is only when we become aware of the intelligence, that intelligence becomes intelligent. Therefore self-awareness is the basis of learning, becoming more aware of our bodies and mind and the intelligence that permeates both. We become intelligent, we gain the ability to use our intellect and make decisions at all the different levels of the mind, body and consciousness.

Also, other people can experience this same self-awareness, which we can experience. This experience is the experience of reaching that field of unity. If all the people become in tune with their selves and work from the same cosmic plan, then problems don’t come up. We experience harmony and balance.

We experience all knowledge in its virtual form. This is also the meeting point of all the individual minds of the world in a common universal mind. By putting our mind in tune with the universal mind we eliminate the main cause of stress in the world. When you are in tune with the universal will, you are doing what is right in that place at that time. You experience a frictionless flow of life, which is supported by the environment and all those around you.

As you experience these subtle levels of the mind you begin to realise that it is also intelligent. You can start asking it questions and seeking knowledge. This is another way of gaining knowledge; some people refer to it as intuition, some as general knowledge.

It is also possible to talk to other people at these subtle levels and develop one’s powers of telepathy. As with everything in life, you are limited only by your power to comprehend and desire what it is that you want to achieve.

There have certainly been many worthy philosophers and learned men in World History perhaps none more celebrated that the Greek Philosopher Plato. Unfortunately we are unable to talk with Plato as he is from a past period, while we are in the present period moving into the future period. Much of the basis for our Republic comes from Plato’s comments on civilization and his philosophy. What if we could watch Plato and Aristotle having a philosophical conversation?

I propose that we use Holographic Technologies, which are getting closer to becoming reality to produce educational works to teach humans and help them learn. You see, soon we will visualize data on our computers in 3D, 4D and 5D. We will enjoy Virtual Reality on our 360 X-Box in our living rooms. Military strategists and war fighters can play out the battle in the virtual battlespace in advance and then watch it un-fold in real time. Great, great grandchildren will be about to meet their past ancestors and watch a holographic video. We will communicate in video conferencing with the image of the other people sitting next us, but not actually there. All this is on its way and even more, as the applications are endless indeed.

It makes sense that we would use such technologies to re-enlighten the masses, teach them to think and learn from the masters of past periods. The sooner we deliver these technologies to the masses and make them available the sooner entrepreneurs will find such killer applications for them. Plato would be proud of our ingenuity and we should be proud to do him such an honor. Think on this.

The multi dimensional nature of whom and what we think we are in this human form, is explained.

Consciousness flows on many levels and in many directions. There are planes of existence that the human mind can tap into and become aware of the whole plane and it’s connections. Some of these planes are just on one level like the group consciousness of the human mind.

We could look at this like the balls on a billiard table. One ball is hit into the pack and all the other balls move to a new equilibrium and await the next thought or the next ball being hit. Groups of people and individuals move in the same way. The group reacts to the actions and thoughts of the individual just like the ball on the billiard table.

The above example just explains the thinking process on one level. Consciousness is on many level and planes and connects us to our surrounding in many ways. Some levels of consciousness go up and down, some in flat linear planes and some in spirals and circles.

We are more than out physical body and our consciousness is part of the whole. We are intimately connected to all that is. We live in a field of energy and everything in our environment is having an influence on us every second of every day.

The question is: are you a reactor to your environment, like the balls on the billiard table? Or are you the creator? Our mind, consciousness and feeling are bringing many influences to us in every moment. But our mind is connected to all the millions of possibilities that our out there.

When our mind is present in the moment we can choose what we wish to create. If we are not present, i.e. maybe living in our past or projecting into our future we may be living in fear.

When we are fully present in the moment and coming from our heart centre we flow our energy from love, which is the opposite of fear. Love is free and creative and uses our imagination to create a grand future for us. Love is aware of our environment and our thoughts but is not bond by them.

Love can tap into one of the other planes of consciousness and bring in or create an outcome that may not have been thought of before. Our belief system forms a mask, which we look through to see the world. But love allows us to change our mind and change our beliefs and therefore change the world and our experience of it.

For a few minutes just reconnect to all your five senses in this moment of now. Make a conscious intention to look clearly through your eyes at what you are seeing. What you see may be a clear summers day with mountains and lake. Or you may see a field of energy with the different frequencies of light giving you the different colours, depending on the vibration of the source of their omission. We may see that the mountains are over there and we are over here or we may see the field of energy connecting everything together as one, with no separation at all.

You can do this with each of our senses; our hearing hears the sound waves. Our touch feels the vibration of the molecules and atoms through our fingers. Our sense of smell feels the vibration of the air molecules. Our taste is sensing the vibration of the food we eat.

I am just asking you to start to be aware of the connection of all things on many planes and levels flowing in different directions. See yourself as a part of the whole not separate from it. Bring your consciousness into the moment of now and live your life from love.

Choose a purpose for life from your heart. Create the type of world, which you would love to live in. Be true to your heart and your feelings and you will experience joy in your life. Allow your energies to expand and be free. Your heart is connected to an infinite source of energy. Let it flow freely to all who come in contact with you.

There is nothing that you need, only that which you can create for your self. I would be pleased to receive your questions or comment on the above.

How to connect with loved ones in the now through telepathy.

For all those who find that they are separated from their loved ones, I would like to say that they are just a thought away.

Thought is something we take for granted, but is one of the most important tools we have. We quite often find that our thoughts are either in the past or the future.

When they are in the past we may be thinking of the loved ones we are separated from and when in the future we may be dreaming of the time when we come together again.

But in reality our friends and loved ones are only a thought away. We can think of them now, in the now, in a positive loving way without the feeling of loss or separation.

We may have experienced communication with those we love; close family members, our mother or father, a loved one or relative. This communication is using a different sense than our usual five senses of touch, taste, sight, hearing and smell. You could say a sixth sense, of telepathy or thought transference.

Telepathy uses our feeling and emotions to transfer a message. Distance is no object; we don’t need to know where they are. All we need is a memory and the loving thought we want to transfer and to feel this memory deep in our hearts.

Then on a deep level of feeling, visualise the thought you want to convey to this loved one. Use all your senses to help in this process. Feel the touch of the person, smell them, hear their voice, see their face, and taste them. Visualise them in your mind’s eye in as many ways as you like.

When you feel the connection has been made just, in an effortless way, think of the thought you would like to send them. Imagine their reaction, the warmth in their heart, the love that flows between the two of you. Give this love freely from the depth of your heart; give it unconditionally as a free gift. Feel the warmth in your own heart as you give the thought to the other; feel how uplifted you feel in yourself.

By living in the now we have all choices open to us. We can create what we want in the moment. We don’t need to feel the sorrow of loss or separation, as when we try to remember them from past experiences. Create the feeling you want now.

It does not even matter if they have passed over to the other side of the veil. They are still just a thought away and can send a loving thought back to you in an instant.

How to work with the New Energy, as it enters your body; feel the change and freedom it brings.

The energies are growing each day and expanding in many different directions and dimensions. During this period it is very important to bathe yourself in your source energy. This is the subtlest energy that exists deep within the heart, an oasis that can be tapped just by intention just by your own vision.

Now that the energies have changed, the way we live our lives has also changed. Be fully in the ‘Now’ moment, in awareness, fully alert. This is so wonderful an experience you bathe in bliss, you bathe in harmony, and you bathe in pure joy of life itself flowing through you in an eternal continuum.

All that you need is being drawn to you, all your desires are being fulfilled even before you have the chance to think of them. This is the power of the new energy. Perfect flow of the life energy flowing from your heart through all your layers of feeling and coming out on the surface and radiating from you in the ever expanding universe.

Bring you passion and your creativity to bear on the energy. Give it a direction, a vibration, a flavour: Live your heart’s dream. Dream these most profound dreams that you where born with. Dream them - that is allow your energy to flow with their vibration, with their vision, with love and intent of purpose and then watch the world change around you as all the energy changes to support your new dream.

This is a very special time, a time where all your dreams can come true. Just let the energy flow.

Start from where you are, start in an easy and effortless way. As the thoughts come into your head, be with them support them, have confidence in yourself and your life’s purpose.

Believe in yourself fully, go with it and see what you have an hour, a week, a year later. Take down all the boundaries and let the energy flow freely. Allow evolution to flow at maximum speed. Use your internal guiding system of your feeling, allow the passion to show you the way. You cannot be hurt any more, this is you doing it for you, for your own benefit and success.

You are fully self-sufficient fully centred in the new energy. This self I am talking about is the coming together of all our energies combining in a universal soul. We each tap into this energy from our unique perspective but we combine and co-ordinate all the parts of our oversoul. All the other people who have joined to our energy for the greater purpose; all the parts are being co-ordinated synchronously by the oversoul. Have faith, trust yourself and we will create a world without stress. All will exist in harmony and peace governed by themselves, by their own heart - free, in love and harmony.

Some contend that humans are naturally wonderful loving creatures and we are full of good. Others look out at the French Riots or Machete and AK-47 killings and say you have to be kidding me? You call that a group of loving and caring; is this your wonderful humans in their wondrous humanity? Of course this debate is as old as religion itself and has been pondered by philosophers throughout time. That is to say is humankind inherently good or are they innately evil?

On the side that humans are good are those who state things like:

“What you and I see "humans" doing on this planet, is in my view "inhuman", that is it is "not" originating from human beings but from the "mind programming" that they have fallen prey. All of this programming can be purged from the species, and not with technology, simply with a desire for personal honesty about what is happening here.”

Yes indeed that is a good argument, that humans are good, but along the way have been manipulated and taught to fear and hate. That today modern mass media hysteria and purported education, politics and society of our civilizations is causing mankind to act out. That in part our own technology is also partially to blame. But mankind is able to chose is he not? Have they chosen to accept this. Isn’t religion indoctrination the same? What about nationalism too? Family honor or even the “Your team VS mine,” them and us scenarios, okay so they, we, us are acting out and sure, well we can call that inhuman? But who is to say that is not the norm of humanity and that humans are innately evil, bad or “inhuman” for that matter?

Is man inherently good or is he innately evil? That is the age old question and to cloud that question with excuses for why he is acting out like an animal is besides the point, as if man is so good, why can’t he over come such brutal and violent behavior? Social programming aside, what is wrong with this picture. I leave the last word up to you. Think on it.

Ultimately, we want our designs to contain beauty and meaning. This is not easily done. Since *lines* is one of the elements of design, we never want to overlook how lines can enhance or detract from our work. Lines should be used in such a way that they improve the tone and quality of designs. In the way lines are used, they add a unique signature to artistic expressions. To illustrate, everyone forms the lines in their handwriting and signature according to their own biological thumbprint. This same principle holds true for artists.

In nature and in most designs, there are a large variety of lines that range from short to long, thick to thin, smooth to jagged, and curved to straight. Straight, angular lines bring structure, strength, and stability to designs; while curved, smooth lines generate movement and grace.

As we continue to raise our awareness for the creative arts, we need to remember the importance of lines and be mindful of how lines are used in nature. For instance, some varieties of palm trees have leaves with straight folds in them, yet the shapes of the leaves are circular. And as for man made designs, notice the body styles of today’s motor vehicles. If lines on motor vehicles are too straight instead of those nice curves, cars would not be as visually pleasing to us. Even landscapes have more appeal when curves are incorporated.

Straight and squared off lines are predominantly used for books, magazines, business cards, brochures, and paper in general. Straight, angular lines look great on architecture with complementary curved lines to set it off. The form of kitchen tiles are straight and grid-like and contain the “illusion of texture” (or patterns) and have become the standard protocol (or “upgrades”) for kitchens and bathrooms throughout America.

Lines are part of every design, and it is up to us to know how to use them. When straight, angular lines are combined with curvy lines, designs have a broader appeal. Unless you are designing a flag as an emblem, make sure to complement straight lines with curvy ones. (Revised 2/17/2006)
