Life is an Illusion, So is Death

Thursday, January 19th, 2012

Life and death are illusions.  The whole world is an illusion, a hologram.  The only truth is infinite love.  Everything else is illusion.  Consciousness is that eternal love.  So is “God.”  It is all one and the same.  This division we see is just another way to control us.  We are all one consciousness experiencing itself subjectively.  Life is a dream and there is no such thing as death.  We are the imagination of ourselves, people.  There is nothing to fear, and everything to love.  The only thing to truly fear is fear itself.  Fear is the mind killer.  But it is just an illusion, like everything that is not love.

There was a time, before we forgot where we came from, when we were in this world, but not of it.  We still are, but we knew it back then.  And this forgetting that no matter what happens, the core essence of our being will be okay, that is what has caused all the mayhem in this world today.  We are manipulated purposely to see ourselves are separate from others, when nothing could be further from the truth.  We all are one, we are the same, and that same is consciousness.  And that consciousness exudes pure love upon everything it touches.  It really is that simple.  And it can never be destroyed.  Life and death are more experiences happening through consciousness, but they are not really real.  It is simply a mental construct, a dream, a figment, a hologram.  So don’t take life/death too seriously, or you’ll never understand fully what this experience is about.

Until next time…

Raising the Collective Consciousness

Monday, October 17th, 2011

The best thing we can possibly do with our lives is work to raise the collective consciousness.  And this all starts by raising your own consciousness.  But why raise your consciousness?  Because then you’ll see better results in your life and enjoy things more.  So, how do you raise your consciousness?  Well, I’d love to talk about how to raise your consciouness, but someone already wrote an article about that.  10 ways to become more conscious.  And here’s an article about why you should strive to become more conscious.  And it makes sense to want this for everyone on this planet, doesn’t it?  I would much rather live in a world of high-consciousness beings than one of low-consciousness beings.  Just think of what kind of world we could create together.  We could explore space, both inner and outer, forever in peace.

‘Tis a noble goal to work towards this.  The more people we get doing this, the faster and more likely it will occur.  Even if this world is but an illusion, a dream, we can still truly enjoy ourselves while we are here.  We can say yes to truth and equal rights, and peace.  And we can say no to war, fear, and chaos.  Especially fear, as it is the root of all suffering.  Transcending fear is the only way to truly get our consciousness where it is we need it to be so that we will end all suffering.  The Buddha said that all suffering is caused by a fundamental misunderstanding of the nature of reality.  I can’t tell you how many people would benefit from realizing the dream that this life is.  It doesn’t make life meaningless, either.  It just creates a world of wonder.  And it creates the feeling that we are all one consciousness experiencing itself subjectively.  Which means what one does to another he or she really does to his or herself.  As Bill Hicks once said, “If we knew we were all one, it would fuck up the economy, especially the arms industry.”

The truth of the matter is that once we realize that we are all one on a collective level, and nothing brings us out of that level, we will be living amazing lives and our experience of this reality will increase for the better one thousand fold or more.  So, let’s make this happen…

Overcoming Negativity

Thursday, February 17th, 2011

Negativity is something that is a detriment to humanity as a whole and causes all sorts of problems.  I often have negative thoughts about this or that, and it can hinder me in some way.  Getting bogged down by negative emotions and thoughts is not something I want for myself, nor for others.  The more you focus on negative thoughts, the more negativity you bring to yourself.  I know that this blog can seem pretty negative at times, but that’s because of the information I’m trying to spread and the vision I have of the future.  A future I’ll probably never see, but want to happen eventually anyway.  But in looking at some of the things I’ve written, I really want to spin humanity in a more positive light, as there are some great thinkers and other great people here, and it is a smaller percentage of bad or control-obsessed people who are pulling all the strings.

I realize that I don’t have to identify with society, nor do I have to attack it unless it is imposing its will on me.  I can choose to be nobody but myself regardless of what the rest of the world thinks.  Although I cannot do things that are against the societal laws, which are getting more and more ridiculous, I can still live a pretty good life mentally outside the system.  I can still be productive and enlighten others to “drop out,” if only mentally, to resist the propaganda and to become more conscious.  For example, in the past 6-12 months, I’ve pretty much given up television and it’s not because of the shows, but the advertisements.  Well, okay, most of the shows as well.  The only shows I now watch are Law and Order: SVU, Family Guy, and South Park.  And I usually watch them online, with significantly fewer ads.  It’s just a way to get the beast out of my head and distance myself mentally from all the chitter chatter that doesn’t matter.

I’ve been opening new doorways while closing the social conditioning that I’ve been dealing with for years.  I’ve known for quite a while that most people today are socially conditioned robots, unknowingly carrying out the agendas of those in charge.  This is why, in some regard, I try to stay away from the masses.  They reinforce so much negativity, and stupid obsessions, especially with celebrities and non-celebrities (such as reality show stars).  I find much of this to be very simple-minded distraction, which is unhealthy at the least and harmful at the worst.  And almost all news/magazines are focused on negativity or gossip.  Both being completely low vibrational.  What we truly need to change the world are high vibrations.

We used to vibrate at a higher vibration than we do today.  It was probably tens of thousands of years ago.  We lived in peace with everything and everyone around us.  But an onslaught of traumas, both physical and psychological, caused a schism in our consciousness to create the world we see today.  There are a lot of theories to what happened.  One is that there was both an ice age and a magnetic reversal of the poles at the same time, and also a shift with the moon coming into our gravitational field.  Ever wonder why lunatics have the word luna, or moon, at the root of it?  There are even people who say that the moon is housed by reptillian aliens, who are sending their vibrations out to us humans to control us, like radio waves, and those who they supposedly bred with thousands of years ago pick up on these vibrations the best and are further pushing us towards negativity and fear.  This may sound crazy and even borderline delusional, but do any of us really know for sure?  The people who call these beliefs crazy are the very ones enforcing the dominant control system.

Now, saying that, it is safe to say that I don’t blame humans for any of this.  I see now that we most likely were affected on an extraterrestrial level, and we are serving our masters, a race of aliens that are so insecure that they have to control everyone and everything.  I knew there had to be a reason for our increased intelligence in relation to the rest of life on Earth, and our cold-hearted extermination of the rest of the species on this planet.  Why would a species destroy their own home in such a systematic and non-empathetic way?  Because we aren’t exactly completely of this world, but were genetically and psychologically manipulated by a race of aliens that strive to keep us under their control using fear and other negative emotions to keep us from stepping out of line.  I find this information empowering, and it does explain a lot of the plight of humans for me.  It was this trauma, which occurred after a series of Earthly traumas, that caused the human beings we see walking around today.  And it is the 13 bloodlines through which these aliens bred with most frequently that are in charge of the world we now have.

There are ancient drawings that show these reptillian beings.  There are drawings of alien spacecrafts.  I’ve seen a few documentaries that suggested a huge coverup when it came to alien life forces living here and around here.  If you think this is crazy, it is because you have been conditioned to think that way.  Truth goes through three stages:  first it is  ridiculed, then it is violently opposed, and eventually it is accepted as self-evident.  And the more awareness we shed on the control structure and its origins, the more empowered we become and the better off we are from resisting their agenda.

There is a global awakening upon us, and the control system is doing everything it can to stop it.  But it is going to happen regardless.  We are going to finally wake up and eventually start living positive lives without the control system attacking our psyches.  The Earth goes through contraction and expansion phases.  This system we have been in for thousands of years is a contraction phase, although it would seem to the naked eye like an expansion phase, because of all the physical progress (and extermination) we’ve completed.  But it has been a constriction in the form of control and domination.  What we will be transitioning to is a more free and liberated society.  The aliens or Illuminati or whatever is in control of us will have no more power over us, and will no longer be able to feed us negative emotions and vibrations on a daily basis, because our vibrations will be too high and positive.  But they are still scrambling, much like a man standing in a rapidly increasing river.  Eventually the man will be toppled over.

These reptillians feed off of our negativity, so the higher we vibrate, the less they can even subsist.  What we need to do is calibrate at higher and higher levels of consciousness until their grasp is no longer relevant and we can live the lives that we were meant to live.  Expanding your awareness and raising your consciousness to one of power instead of force is the stepping stone to getting where it is we need to be.  And even if there are no aliens controlling us, we all can agree that the people in charge are at least sociopaths devoid of much empathy, seeing on how they can massacre their own people in droves and convince others to do the same or be killed.  And we also need to transcend the police state that is coming, which will most likely not last very long because it will be mostly run by machines, not humans, and most humans do not have loyalty to machines and will be able to scam them much better.

There is a coming expansion and we need to be ready for it.  Some would argue it is already taking place.  People have more freedom than ever before in some circles, especially the unemployed, although they might not see it that way.  They probably see it as a loss of autonomy, when they should be seeing it as a chance to truly do something in this world that doesn’t require money or slavery to a system that left the general populace behind years ago.  Eventually, maybe it will get so bad that they will stop foreclosing on houses because they just don’t have the man-hours to accomplish it.  As the economy declines, less people are serving the control structure, so it’s not such a bad thing after all.  I just wish the people who lost their jobs were doing something to open other people’s minds.  Instead, as they are conditioned to do, they wallow in deep depression because they took so much value from their work, their sense of purpose.  And all they were doing was serving the very masters that bind them.

I want to conclude this article by saying that this expansion will be immensely challenging and that if we are not prepared for it, it will be worse, but just know on the inside that it will lead to something extraordinarily better than what we have now.  It may be painful at first, but we will emerge on the other side so much better and so much more powerful personally, which is what we have lost so much of in the past few millennia.    If you don’t believe in aliens, that’s fine, but that is probably because they try so hard never to be exposed.  They will be exposed in the coming decades, and we will transcend their control.  (Don’t think I’ve lost my mind.  The man in the moon is not just a fairy tale.)  But don’t worry about them, because sooner than later we will be completely autonomous once again, so it is of no consequence.  We will once again begin living like we were meant to, with nature and not against it.

Let’s Start a Revolution

Thursday, January 27th, 2011

I find it funny, even hilarious at how low this blog ranks in search engines.  Last time I checked, it was somewhere in the rankings of 3,000,000 when it came to websites.  I mean, that’s not bad, but it certainly won’t earn me any money, nor will it generate any buzz.  I could promote and market my site, but that seems tedious and pointless, so I’m just going to have to stay content being off the map.  And I’m fine with it, but eventually I’ll want to grow this cash cow into something that actually earns cash.  A million dollars would be nice, more even.  Just so I can live my life any way I please without many negative consequences.

Once this million dollars comes into my life, I plan to get a nice piece of land out in the country and build a small, modest home on it.  When I say small, I mean it.  Maybe 500 square feet, maybe less.  Perhaps a little more, but I’m sure most of that space will go to waste.  I plan to live there and write/explore.  I find that writing has a lot of solace in it and I enjoy it immensely.  I may write for others, or even just myself.  It won’t matter, because I won’t need any more money for the rest of my life.  I’ll eat very healthily and be at my physical peak, whatever that means for me.  And I won’t invest or anything, I’ll just have a savings account where it will earn interest at least equal to inflation.  I just need to get this damn blog on the map and watch the cash roll in.

It would be nice to be able to devote my entire life to what I believe in, but right now I still have to earn a living.  Earning a living takes a lot of energy out of me, and I can no longer work as hard on other pursuits.  We should be on the  front lines starting a revolution, but we have jobs and cars and homes to pay for and it seems only the unemployed have any free time.  These are people who are most likely wasting much of their free time drinking alcohol or using illicit drugs.  No offense intended.  I’m sure there are a lot of good workers who lost their jobs, and I’m not referring to them.  Why aren’t these people rioting in the streets?  Why aren’t they protesting our governmental tyranny?  Why aren’t they defending the Earth from corporate enslavement?  I don’t know.

There are some people out there who do make a difference, but the problem is that there aren’t enough of them.  And these people are mostly fringe, which gives them far less credibility than Noam Chomsky.  I’ve read articles about the freegans, who live without money, or as little money as possible, living off of the throw-away culture that we have created.  Here’s an article from the NY Times about this:  The Freegan Establishment.  They are considered modern hunter-gatherers.  They are living what the perceive as an ethical life with hardly any money, and people like me, and some others who are far worse, can’t see themselves doing this unless they had a windfall of money.

These people are squatting abandoned homes, eating food out of dumpsters, and traveling across the country while the rest of us are stuck at our soul-crushing jobs so that we can afford our mortgages and car payments.  They are doing what they believe should be rights to food, shelter, and autonomy.  But this world we live in denies those basic human rights to anyone who isn’t willing to become a corporate slave or scammer.  And believe me, there are plenty of scammers out there, especially on Wall Street.  This world is insane, and yet we are forced to go along with it or be shot, jailed, or simply bent to the will of our corporate masters as they kill the Earth with a giant smile.  It makes me sick, but hardly anyone is revolting.

Is it ignorance?  Is it hopelessness?  Is it depression?  What in the world is holding people back?  Do most people actually think this world is sane?  Is that the case?  Seriously?  Just take a look around you.  Look at the history books (that ironically have been edited from what truly happened, substantially).  Read books about forbidden history, the stuff that people who wrote history didn’t want you to know.  Realize that this world is under control by sinister forces, with questionable origins, and that they are conditioning you every day with their constant propaganda of telling you how to feel, what to think, who to admire, and who to condemn.  That is part of the reason I stopped watching television altogether, save for a few instances.  They can’t get to you if you don’t play their game.

When I read about people breaking free of the system and living a different way, it inspires me.  It gives me hope that there are cracks to break through.  The few people who do live on the fringes of society seem to have more fulfilling lives, because they actually stand for something.  Most people do jobs that are meaningless in the context of the meaning of life.  They usually do things that anyone could do if they had the necessary skills, and most jobs are less than extraordinary.  They are a means to and end, a fucking paycheck that most people spend completely before the next payday, thereby perpetuating their need for continuous employment.  But there is a better way.  You don’t have to let the system hold you over a barrel.

You can live very well cheaply while still working and save tons of money.  I’ve done it.  Others have done it.  You just have to adjust your thinking from the high-budget lifestyle to the low-budget lifestyle.  I haven’t bought new shoes in over 2 years.  I haven’t bought new clothes in longer.  I receive clothing as gifts, which I wear.  I eat a pretty healthy diet for less than you would expect.  I do own a car, but I bought it cheap from my grandfather for about half its value.  I very rarely buy things I don’t need.  I hardly ever go out to eat.  I am mentally out of the system, but I still hold down a job and do it well.  I just am not as dependent on it as others, whose life would fall apart if they got fired or laid off.

I’ve got some links in my sidebar about how to do this, and the most pivotal essay is Ran Prieur’s How to Drop Out. He articulates better than me, but we have similar messages.  He is in his 40s, but it feels like his consciousness is somewhere in the mid 20’s range.  This guy is what I do to the extreme.  He even bought land that he is building a cobwood house on.  He may be a semi-dropout, but he makes a hell of a lot more sense than those indoctrinated politicians, and by following this guy’s example, we can create heaven on Earth, instead of this toxic and unstable civilization.  Read some of his other essays as well.  Some very interesting stuff there.

Talkin’ bout revolution… Let’s do it!  We just need to get enough people aware of what is going on in the world.  And we need to get these people to start living the way us “dropouts” do.

A Tribute to Bill Hicks

Wednesday, December 15th, 2010

Bill Hicks, one of the lesser known “famous” comedians, has been an inspiration to me and just a truly brilliant man.  He’s dead now, like all the great ones, although he didn’t die from a drug overdose or from suicide.  Sure, he did drugs, and he had a great time doing them, but he was more than clean and sober when he died.  He was called The Dark Poet, and some of his observations and imaginative works about different people on the news and in the media were dark and funny as hell.  He was considered an outlaw comic, and even had his entire set censored out of Letterman’s Late Night show.  It had been approved and pre-approved before, but Letterman didn’t know if  his audience could take what Bill was saying.  He was saying things that people weren’t ready to hear, and he offended tons of people, but he did it in such a way that he became the voice of reason in an increasingly insane world.  He reminds me a lot of myself, but I’m nowhere near as angry or bitter, but I have some of the same thoughts he does about the government and entertainment media.  People say he died way too young, but I think he got his message out in time.

If you don’t know who this man is, I would suggest looking him up on Youtube.  I don’t want to embed any videos on here because I want to keep- my website simple.  He had such a great bit about negative drug stories in the news.  He may have been a bit scathing at times, but he had to be.  To steal a quote from the movie Se7en, “When you have something important to tell someone, you can’t just tap them on the shoulder anymore.  You have to smash their face in with a sledgehammer, and then you’ll see you have their full attention.”  I think that’s why Bill was so offensive, because if he didn’t talk in that way, he wouldn’t be able to get the ideas he was trying to spread into people’s thick skulls.  I love the joke he does in the above link, “Today a young man on acid realized that all matter is merely energy condensed to a slow vibration, that we are all one consciousness experiencing itself subjectively.  There is no such thing as death, life is only a dream, and we are the imagination of ourselves…here’s Tom with the weather.”  It’s not just a joke, but it opens your mind to a different experience of looking at the world.

Also in that clip, thankfully, there is his most life-affirming piece of material called, “It’s just a ride.”  Wonderful, enlightening piece of material that totally blows your mind.  That is what all these enlightened teachers have been trying to teach, that life is a dream, or a ride, or something similar, and that to take it seriously, or as if it were real is only going to lead to suffering.  The choice between fear and love.  This guy got it, and he was also funny about it, which sure helps convey the message better.  He made you laugh, and he made you think, and ponder.  One audience member once yelled out, “I don’t go to comedy clubs to think.”  Bill responded by saying, “Where do you go to think?  I’ll meet you there.”  He reminds me a lot of George Carlin, although I feel like Bill went further.  Bill wasn’t afraid to bomb, he wasn’t afraid to express his unpopular opinions.  The guy was Relentless, which coincidentally enough, was the title of one of his DVDs.

The sad part was, however, that he never gained a mainstream audience in America, because he was not allowed to express his ideas on television the way he wanted to and, frankly, most people were not ready to hear what he had to say.  So he went to the UK to perform and his comedy was uncensored on Channel 4, and the people there loved him.  He was allowed to be himself, not some censored, edited version of himself.  He gained a huge following there, and he now has a sizable following in America, but not nearly as big as the Carlin fans or the other really popular comedians.  His ideas were radical and controversial, and they made sense.  He was no sellout, and would call out those who were.  He was one of a kind, and had integrity and was honest.  He told people how he saw the world and he was dead on.  But like all the other people who say, “We should all just get along, stop fighting, become one with the world,” he died young, but not too young, because he at least got his messages out.

He would mock religion, mock these popular, mediocre pop artists, like the New Kids On the Block and Rick Astley.  This was in the late 80s and early 90s, as Bill; tragically died in 1994.  It’s amazing how many people have never heard of him.  I hadn’t heard of him until late 2005.  And it took me awhile to really warm up to him, just like it did with Carlin.  But he has been a part of my life ever since, because listening to him is like getting an upgrade in integrity and consciousness.  He sure had a lot to say.  He used to joke that he was “Noam Chomsky with dick jokes.”  He used to say something like, “I know what you guys are waiting for, and don’t worry, dick jokes are coming.  I editorialize for about one hour, then we go down dick joke highway, because I know that’s why y’all are here.  Don’t worry, they’re coming.”  I’m sure he rubbed a lot of audience members the wrong way and some people probably think he is an asshole, but he was just trying to wake people up.  That’s all.  He truly wanted humanity to evolve to a higher state of consciousness, and isn’t that what we all want?  I’d say so.

In closing, this guy is one of my heroes.  He had morals, he had rebellion, he had such conviction in what he was saying that it just made him either more or less likable, depending on how much you agreed with him.  I have more respect for him than any other comedian, because he was real, he was uncensored, and he would take risks that other comedians wouldn’t even dream of.  I’m pretty sure he was a reclusive type of person, somebody who didn’t quite fit in, but he sure used that to his advantage to call out those who were completely full of shit.  I just wish his work hadn’t fallen on mostly deaf ears during his lifetime.  But today, I think the word is getting out more, and although not as sizable as others, his comedy can still entertain and enlighten us for decades more.  Bill, you are a fucking hero and I hope more people get the word out about you like I’m doing right now.

Here’s some links that may be offensive, but I’m going to add them anyway:

This is by no means an exhaustive list.  There are so many more clips on Youtube of this man and his thoughts, so feel free to browse because I have a feeling you might learn something.  The Rush Limbaugh one is a bit offensive, just to warn you.
