This is funny, and I’m just testing to see how Youtube videos will work on this site. Bill Hicks, enlightened man, funny guy all the way to the top.

The conscious evolution of our species will enact the consciousness revolution.  The most important thing one can do with his/her time on Earth is raise his or her consciousness.  If everyone did this, we would have a whole world of highly conscious individuals.  I’d say it is about time to evolve, wouldn’t you?  It’s time to stop being a slave to fear, consumption, and your own ego.  Being a slave is just plain stupid at this point in history.  It’s time for us as a species to own our lives and become what we all dream we could be.

This reality is nothing more than an illusion, a hologram.  There are other realities beyond this one, and they too are holograms.  The only true reality is that of pure God-consciousness.  We are one with God and God loves us unconditionally, because we are him and he is us.  It seems a bit airy-fairy, I know, but once your grasp the fact that no matter what happens in this reality, nothing can stop God’s love and you being a part of God, it tends to diminish your fear and worry quite a bit.

There was a time in the past where we lived as so-called “Gods on Earth.”  It was a time when we were simply in this world, but not of it.  We had full and total awareness of our connectedness to God and our true nature.  We were one with the world and with the universe, and there was no violence or warfare.  Everything was perfect and we wanted for nothing.  But then something happened.  Something that separated us from God.  Just for a moment.  And look at the world we have now.

There were a cascade of traumas humans went through in a very short period of time.  One of them was the Ice Age.  Another being the magnetic reversal of the poles.  Another being that we were most definitely visited by aliens and had our DNA corrupted in some form.  Another was the introduction of the moon, which supposedly appeared around that time and caused all sorts of problems, both physically and psychologically.  If you’ve ever wondered why the word lunatic contains luna, Latin for moon, there is a very good reason for that.  The moon is most likely a hollowed out planetoid that is broadcasting a signal to keep us from experiencing the oneness with God we once did experience.

When these aliens interbred with humans, and this is documented in ancient history, they bred with certain bloodlines that had the least empathy for other humans.  Either that, or they were bred to be that way.  All I know is that they caused a shift in consciousness that was so dramatic that it created the evil leaders we have today, who are really just doing the aliens’ bidding by keeping us in the dark about the true nature of reality and dumbing us down so that we unconsciously do the bidding of these alien creatures.  But as soon as we awaken, they will no longer have control.

Before your discount me as a conspiracy nut, I urge you to look at the world around you and ask yourself if any species other than humans destroys its own kind and has such a deep self-loathing as us humans.  We behave as a cancer on this planet, and what other species out there would destroy its own home planet?  It is because of the manipulation of our DNA by alien visitors that are using us for our energy and our resources on some level, especially the lowering of our consciousness so that they can feed off of our negative energy.  It may seem crazy, but if you look at the world around us, it makes perfect sense.  Why do 13 or so families control most of the wealth?  Why are there some people who come out of nowhere into power?  Why are there all these secret societies that most of us are not members of?  There are a lot of unanswered questions here.

I’m not claiming to know nearly everything about what is really going on, but I do know that the only way to break the grasp of the control system and to raise our consciousness so that we are no longer a slave to whatever is controlling us.  It is imperative that we do this before it is too late, but it seems to be starting already, which is a good sign.  The control structure has to work harder and harder just to maintain the status quo, never mind increase control.  It is like the increasing stream with a man standing in it saying, “I’m not moving.”  We are the stream and the control structure is the man.  Eventually, he will no longer be able to stand anymore and get washed away by the stream of consciousness.  And so then we will be set free.  We will finally be “Gods on Earth” again, and we will finally realize our true nature.

Disclaimer:  No, I haven’t lost my mind.  I haven’t seen any aliens or anything.  I’ve just had some synchronicities that have led me towards the fact that life is an illusion and that the only reason we do not know this from birth is that we are being controlled through suppression of information and through genetic manipulation.  There is a lot more to know about this information, and it can be found on David Icke’s website or on Youtube through David Icke’s presentations.  You don’t have to believe all of it to get value from it.  It is just something to consider.

I first got involved in personal growth in 2002.  That was when I found out I had a brain tumor.  This “personal growth” of mine had been growing  since birth, so I guess I had been into personal growth all along.  After the tumor was removed, I felt like I wasn’t growing anything, so I grew a goatee.  That turned out pretty nicely.  Then I started growing Chia pets.  Now I am growing a Lucky Bamboo.  Growth happens everywhere, but personal growth requires effort.  If you want to become a better person, you have to grow (and not just a beard).

These are my words of wisdom for the day.  Try and be a better person every day, and in the long run the cumulative effect will be astounding.  You might even become Jesus Christ.  Hey, you never know.  But all kidding aside, one day at a time, becoming better at what you wish to become better at…a simple way to become who it is you wish to be.  And a simple blog post from me.

I’ve recently started selling things on eBay again after a 7 year hiatus.  It’s just that I’m trying to rid myself of some of the worthless junk I’ve accumulated over the years, and also get rid of it at ridiculously low prices (i.e. what the market dictates).  I have sold on eBay in the past, making a couple thousand dollars in the process, so it’s nothing old to me, except it’s been awhile.  I like tracking my auctions to see what is selling and what is not.  If something doesn’t sell after 2 auctions, I’ll just donate it or throw it out.  It’s a lot of fun, selling.  I just don’t want to get into the habit of buying on there as well, as that can often get me into buying obsession.  So, just selling for now, and I’ll see if I can make $1000 in a couple of months at it.  If I can, great.  If I fall short, great too, but not as great.  It’s all about getting myself down to the bare minimum required to thrive.  Even though I own less than most, I still own things I could easily sell and not miss.

I’m just selling books, DVDs, and a couple mp3 players I wish I wouldn’t have bought.  (God I hate touch screens.)  This will allow me to save even more money than the approximate $15000 I have saved up.  And that makes me feel good about myself.  I’m sorry if these blog posts are a little thin lately, it’s just that I’m trying to keep with the spirit of the minimalist lifestyle and declutter my life to the point where I’m no longer living a consumerist lifestyle.  I’ll just let other people buy that lifestyle from me.

This blog has been pretty quiet the last month, simply because I don’t have anything I wish to share on here.  It’s not easy keeping a blog up for a month, never mind 5 years.  And a blog that doesn’t get much traffic at that.  I feel like I’ve pretty much said a lot about different things, and to keep going on this path would be more of the same, so I’m thinking maybe I’ll take this blog in another direction, at least for awhile, where I post links to comedy and other interesting things, because laughter is the best medicine for an insane society gone off the rails.  Comedy is one of my loves, so it would only make sense that I post some of my favorite comedy videos for awhile, just to sort of bridge the gap between my rantings about society, or some kind of pseudo-spiritual junk I read in a book.  Damn you, Steve Pavlina, for putting thousands of people on a path of personal growth that will most likely lead them to a career in magical thinking and tons of disappointment.  You were the reason i started this blog and now it has become something of an eyesore.

Here is a great Youtube clip of George Carlin talking about people who read Self-Help Books.  See, there’s the comedy.  He also goes into motivation seminars, or something similar and says that we have too much motivation.  The people that are causing all the trouble in this world are highly motivated.  Then he says something to the effect of, “You take a guy sitting at home, watching TV, and stroking his penis, and I’ll show you a guy that’s not going to cause any problems.”  Sure, they’re not causing any problems, but they’re also not solving any.  I just don’t see the point to this self-help movement.  All it is going to do is accelerate the destruction of this planet.  Spiritual development not withstanding.  You can develop your spirit without expending vast amounts of resources, but most people who are into self-help or personal development, or whatever lame thing you wish to call it, are usually in it for money, or success, or some other hollow achievement goals that keep you coming back for more and more, much like a drug.

There are self-help junkies out there, who are addicted to these blogs and seminars, people who like to pretend they are taking control of their life because they’ve been to a Tony Robbins firewalk.  Walking on hot coals is fucking crazy.  I’m sorry, but Tony, you are a fucking sadist if you have your attendees walk on hot coals just to see if they get burned or not.  Or that James Arthur Ray, who put a bunch of people in a sweat lodge and at least one of them died.  These people were not allowed to leave, even if they felt like they were dying.  Ha!  That really rings true to the ideology of taking conscious control of your life.  ”Yeah, just stay in that sweat lodge and we’ll tell you when you can come out.  Somebody bolt the door.”

And even worse, probably the worst of all is this breatharian group, people who actually believe that humans can live without any food or water, and get all their nourishment from the air.  This is lunacy at its very extreme and kind of makes me laugh a little, because someone actually died doing this.  They went off into the woods or something, with a book written by some woman who calls herself Jasmuheen, and died.  I’ll tell you, not eating or drinking for a whole week in an isolated area where nobody is there to help you is a tremendous leap of faith.  I know most people would not do that, but those who have been indoctrinated in the belief system of certain spiritual and self-help circles can do some pretty crazy things.  And these things are entertaining as well.  It keeps the Darwin Awards interesting.

I don’t want to bash Steve Pavlina, mostly because he at least advocates thinking for yourself before you do anything like that.  I find him to be a little airy fairy on some things, but for the most part, he is at least practical and doesn’t have you sweating or starving to death.  He doesn’t force you to live the way he does, or condemn you for living the way you do.  He doesn’t have you drink Kool Aid, but simply shares his experiences and ideas and lets you decide if they resonate with you.  He may seem completely insane to some, but at least he isn’t saying that you should come along for the ride, just that he has had these interesting experiences that he never had before he got involved in personal development.  And he is not about to go into the woods and try to live off of air without taking the necessary precautions.

When it comes to self-help, or personal development, or whatever, go with your common sense, people.  Don’t so something that would put your life or the lives of people you love in jeopardy.  I think self-help has a sinister core, because it has all these success stories of people starting businesses and finding their true passion, but not too many failure stories, or the failures are dressed up as a stepping stone to success, or a temporary hurdle.  But what about those who quit their jobs and became homeless because of a self-help blog or book, or seminar?  Or those who died because of it?

This was a really weird and silly post, but at least I’m still posting.
