Preface
Your journey has begun. Each word in this book devoured by your mind is an intimate
interaction with mine; regardless of the intervention of my death. The show for me
may very well be over as you are currently reading this - yet I am still able to link
minds with you and speak to you through your voice in your head but by my words.
That is one of the most spectacular reasons influencing me to write this. What lies
ahead written by me to be read by you through ink is an embodiment of us, the
universe as we know it - reified through language to express the present moment and
concretised by the minds that read it; its physical self - and the books cyberspace
existence.
I have attempted to address as many topics about the average Western person living
today that I could think of and write about the importance currently existing in our
world with predominantly a philosophical approach. The importance being topics
addressing the issues of poverty, religion, government, culture - the current human
experience. I do not see myself as the always right person that is here to tell everyone
how it is and save the world; that'd be terribly pretentious and obnoxious. Although,
my opinions in this book may come off like that in some sections - I would happily
prefer to sit with one who opposes my views and openly discuss our thoughts.
Unfortunately, however, that is not possible through writing a book. Therefore, I am
left to express my thoughts and feelings openly and honestly with the reader. I would
like to thank my friends who have taken the time to read this book and provide me
with their honest feedback. Even though there is only a couple of you, I appreciate
your help greatly. I also would like to thank those who are no longer alive and yet
have taught me so much, but that would be pointless. Safe travels.

Introduction Existence
The universe that has been revealed so far in our travels is lonely. All we have is our
planet and ourselves, co-existing with other species to project multiple realities into
existence. And the most strange world by far is the human experience; because it
entails both surrealism and triviality. However, triviality currently dominates with
toxic influences such as the destructive oppressiveness of culture and religion that
reap the minds of a lot of people, especially the young to separate and create false
identities. Then there is the excessive human hunger for possessions; things that have
made the essence of the modern Western cultured person to be avaricious.
Consequently, this has resulted in the planet's resources intensely depleting as the
majority of us suffer the adverse outcomes in this deadly game that will ultimately be
the demise of us all. That is the experience presented to those of us who are born and
currently living as a human in the 21st-century. Not a very attractive situation on
earth. We are approaching a time in history where an enormous mess lurks behind our
every move; waiting to unravel and plague the planet. Mayhem like the foolishness of
over consuming, where the average person in the Western world has an addiction to
acquire things - stuff that has no real value. Problems like the overwhelming drastic
increase in poverty, the unhealthy physical and mental state of many - suffering from
anxiety, depression, and suicidal thoughts. The lack of unity within humanity, split
and divided by the illusory nature of the ego, culture, race, and nationalism that as
witnessed throughout history has led to one of the most obnoxious - destructive and
primitive inventions ever to surface this planet; war. However, inside this disastrous,
cancer-like situation lies a spark of divine love. For humanity epitomises surreal
complexity. Even amongst the art of our suffering and turmoil lie magical qualities
that express the essence of creativity and produce the artist. Our ability to draw forth
novelty from a puzzling source known to us as the imagination and implement our
findings into this reality is wizardry-like. Language as well is evidence of the
6
incredible complexity we entail as beings. To be able to transfer the thoughts of one
mind to another through small mouth noises travelling by transportation of sound
waves is amazing. Existence for us is unbelievable, complicated, magical - mystical
and yet hauntingly sad. And I believe the reason to be is because the human race is
lost. Lost as a species in all areas physical, mental and spiritual. For we have become
icons of delusion. Allured by dangerous false belief systems that have a tight grip on
the minds of the mass causing us not to find peace and love in our paradise of a world
and the wonders that engulf it - but to create chaos and suffering for all forms of life
that reside here.
We have in our possession as humans, the power to manipulate and terraform an entire
planet and ecosystem by the use of our intelligence and imagination. We can play
God, but we are currently choosing to be the devil. So be it. If we wish to embody the
force of destruction by turning this planet into a scene of mayhem, then we will suffer
the consequences that mother nature inflicts in reaction to such actions - total
extinction. The human species has toiled long enough at destroying this planet and
impeding the evolution of other species that the verdict on our future is all but nearly
certified. We will carry hundreds and thousands of years of evolutionary history upon
our shoulders and march into the eternal darkness of our graves. With our religious
doctrines in one hand, the flag of our nations in the other; our prejudices, thoughts,
fears, hates and accomplishments written on our bodies and witness them turn into
nothing - to see the real value of them. Only to then realise that the most important
experience worth living for on this side of the grave was love.

Life as Humans

There is a real sense of magic that emanates from deep within you. A light that is not
similar to anything that brightens in this world, but a force that is yet to be defined and
assigned a word. It is a source of energy that has driven humanity in the direction of
extraordinariness. It is this astonishing light that makes visible a world of creativity, a
fuel that supplies one to travel towards what they cannot anticipate but hope to
discover. I ask you, would you dare travel towards the unknown? With love as your
only source of light to guide you to magic, to freedom - to bliss? Tell me honestly for
I fear we have killed what has made us human. We have lost ourselves in an illusion
that is causing misery to billions of people. Take my advice and seek what you dream,
for only then will you be rewarded with happiness. Don't lose hope, don't forget about
love, experience the delightful hug of the cosmos.
9
Being Human
Many of us use the repetition of what we perceive to be 'normal' days of work and
mundane pursuits in an attempt to ward off a fear of the unknown. We live to serve a
system, a person or people where it or they tell us who we are, what we are and where
we're going. We are always giving our minds over to others to be manipulated,
controlled and fed ridiculous beliefs and ideas; information that dehumanises us to the
point that we willingly behave like machines. I have met many people in my life who
just look drained and miserable. They look like their happiness - the very love of their
desire to exist has been eaten by their environment, digested, excreted and smeared
onto their face by alluring and captivating advertisements that negatively affect their
health. The vicious cycle of life for modern humanity, it's a game so unhealthy for all
of us. So why do we do it? By us, of course, I mean the minority of the human
population who live in such a controlled, isolated - information fed bubble, that we
stress over problems of our favourite reality TV show, while next door to us is more
than half of the human population living in poverty. Why do we, the people who have
the power, the resources, the knowledge, the technology - continue to let ourselves
become victims to living stupid, unhealthy and undesired ways of life? Is it the
apparent security of a 9-5 job? A steady income? Or is it the tremendous fear of
leaving what is known and travelling into the unknown?
Some archaeologists believe that Neanderthals lived amongst Homo sapiens around
55,000 years ago. Neanderthals were intelligent, however, unlike Homo sapiens,
Neanderthals wouldn't travel far from their homes. They'd only go as far as necessary
for their survival, such as finding a river for a freshwater source and residing in safe
areas relevant to their survival needs. Homo sapiens - on the other hand, travelled far
and fast. They would risk their lives countless times by pursuing the unknown and
10
moving deep into its darkness, often at times, finding nothing but water and that
resulted in many dying at sea; starved and malnourished. And yet, it was the
Neanderthals who went extinct, not us. Driven by a force that distinguishes humanity
from other species, we continued to explore, and in time - we eventually found what
our dreams and imagination had foretold us. Leading to Homo sapiens dominating this
planet, and to the continuation of our addiction to curiosity by turning our attention to
exploring outer space and the deep oceans of our planet.
We all have in us this odd, peculiar attraction that gives colour to life and meaning to
death. We birth creations, from thoughts to languages, to complex technology, to the
creation of life itself. We sculpt, dance, paint, and sing to the rhythm of music we
create. We make love, magic, and wonder of life by dreaming of ideas fuelled by our
curiosity and painted by the source of our imagination. So why do we now dismiss
those feelings that are so natural to our existence and necessary to have to feel and be
human? Surely it cannot be security. Aside from security contradicting our true inner
nature - it is delusional to feel secure in a world where according to National Safety
Council, you have a 1 in 7 chance of dying from cancer or heart disease. Or a 1 in 113
chance of dying in a motor vehicle accident, along with all the other possibilities;
prove the odds of dying today over the span of a lifetime for the average person to be
quite high. Believing in security is foolish. You rob yourself of the human values that
flow deep within your history. The characteristics of a person which cannot be caused
by one's environment, education or upbringing - but derives from a source much more
influential than that. A source at play with the entire human species since our birth
into the realm of existence.
11
The Source
There is clearly something odd happening here, and by here, I mean existence. The
strange thought of how weird it is that anything exists at all has haunted many of our
minds since we can remember. Add in the thoughts of direction and purpose, and it's
easy to be left in a state of turmoil, amazement, hope, and despair; resulting in
conflicting feelings and most likely needing rest. For many of us, we seek informative
sources for answers. We propose complex questions in hope to settle the mind with
thorough answers given by a source that believes to know the truth to all of our
wonders. But unfortunately, answers do not come as quickly as our questions, and the
information we obtain from various sources usually in time becomes outdated and
proven incorrect as our understanding grows. Religion, for example, is an informative
source that is there to allure the mentally lost people who seek easy deliverance from
escaping a troubled mind that wishes to forget the pain of the unknowing by
brainwashing and infecting themselves with ridiculous fallacies. Like an alcoholic
who absorbs a substance that is unhealthy for their body as a way to forget their
troublesome past or problems of their lives, people seek religion to fulfil the same
duty of removing the discomfort that lingers within.
Science is another source of information that free intellectual thinkers have directed
their attention and focus to in an attempt to answer the complex questions that are
brought up by such imaginative beings. Science, however, solves as many problems as
it creates. Michio Kaku summed science up when he said;
“But science by itself is morally neutral. Science is like a double-edged sword. One
side of the sword can cut against poverty, disease, and ignorance. But the other side of
12
the sword can cut against people. How this mighty sword is wielded depends on the
wisdom of its handlers.”
Science has accomplished great things for humanity, discovered truths and
information essential for the progression of our species. However, science, as it is, still
cannot explain the incredible phenomena happening today and throughout our history.
Answering questions such as what entails the complications of heartbreak? The desire
to paint what your canvas of imagination has provided? To wordsmith lyrics and sing
what you hear when music is playing? To cause Homo sapiens to leave their location
and travel to foreign lands? What is this source that we communicate with frequently
that is powerful enough to cause a species to evade stagnation and rather transcend
progressively into a domain of creation? Is it possible that human history is all but
written regarding a predestined future? Meaning all of us, collectively are destined for
a particular conclusion that is purposeful. To believe in this can quite easily arise a
laid back, non-guilt, hypocritical approach for one to take when concerning the
saddening events that are occurring all around the world. It is easy for a person to
believe in a destined future if they, themselves are not suffering from poverty,
witnessing their families dying from inhumane actions, sold off and enslaved by
people. Yes, it is easy, but that doesn't mean the theory is negatively affected. Maybe
it is possible to have a probable destiny that could be diverted by the individual or
species. And to do this, one or more must not take risks and venture into the abyss of
the unknown. Whatever the possible reason may be, it is clear that there is some
attraction encouraging us to be curious, to engage with our imaginations, to pursue art
and use the physical domain as a workshop to implement our creations. We have been
in communication with it since we first decided to leave the plains of Africa and travel
towards what we could not even begin to anticipate.
13
This source that we depend on, whatever it is, has played too great of a role in human
history to ignore. It has brought forth prominent beings, from messiahs to Hitler's, to
artists and Greek philosophers. Frequently, influential people and ideas are injected
into human existence and this world from a source unknown and for a purpose only
discovered in the felt moment.
The Journey
Humanity seems to be going somewhere, wherever that may be. We look to outer
space as an environment to cast the net of our imagination. An abyss of the unknown
tempting our very will to do what we have always done, to leave our cradle and travel
forth. The questions that outer space provides for our minds are too delicious not to
taste, especially for a species such as ourselves who loath to stay put in one location,
physically and mentally. There seems to be an attraction pulling us across all realms.
The planet, along with the sun, the solar system, the entire galaxy - are headed in a
direction to what is known as the great attractor, and we are on that spaceship. Are we
being pulled towards something for some possible purpose? That I am not certain of,
but if true, I believe our advancement in our evolution of knowledge, intelligence,
creativity and so on, links up with it significantly. Concerning the modern world, I
often question where it is that we are going and why we are doing what we do. It is
obvious to so many that steer clear of feeding themselves with the deluded realities
provided by culture and mainstream media outlets, that we clearly have a numerous
amount of problems on our plate. Problems such as half of the human population
living in poverty, the amount of drudgery carried out by the majority, regardless of our
advancements in technology - the current proliferation of nuclear weapons and so
forth. These dilemmas are endless. I do not have it in me to understand how we can
allow our beautiful garden we call planet earth, to be
14
destroyed by foolishness and blatant stupidity. The decisions to destroy our
environment with toxic pollution, the immense and unnecessary acts of over
consuming found in the 'nature' of many. The ongoing - utterly idiotic wars started by
the people who we choose to lead us, the killing of other earthlings for 'food',
'clothing', 'fun' and so forth. We are travelling on a path of chaos, tiptoeing on the fine
line of extinction and bleeding the blood of the species we have already sentenced to
the grave. Just because of our arrogant and pretentious reasoning. It is us humans who
are the doubled edged sword, not our teachings, arts, and crafts. We, on the one hand,
can create technology with the purpose of love, to help one another and give ourselves
the freedom we deserve. We can help beings who are sick, malnourished and in need
of love and care. We can build structures, monuments that display possibility;
inspiring courage to dream what has never been dreamt before. But we can also be
cruel, dangerous and just purely unhealthy. We strip beings naked of their true nature
to do tasks that entertain us, to win us paper. We pollute, destroy and antagonise our
environment to the extreme, that it becomes uninhabitable for ourselves and others.
We upset and treat one another in a cruel manner, with a lack of compassion, love, and
connection. We are an unpredictable species, always appearing and disappearing from
the presence of love. And yet this has all been part of some journey. The human
species travelling through the universe with our stories and discoveries. We wander
existence, roaming for meaning - to seek out what we currently do not have,
journeying throughout life on a path as we leave a trail of history to be read in
multiple languages. From our words to the results of our actions, causing our
footprints to be cemented in time.
The journey of the human race from living out under the stars to investing our minds
into the cyberspace of the internet has taken time. And within that time, we have
travelled far and taken goliath steps. Soon, if we are lucky, we will take the step out of
the restrictions we are currently living in; such as space, time and matter. Terence
15
McKenna spoke of such ideas and theorised of the possibility of leaving these
constraints and journeying into our minds through the use of virtual reality. He said;
"I imagine a world where children begin to build their virtual realities by the time they
are five, six, seven years of age (think of Minecraft as the beginning). By the time they
are twenty, these virtual realities may be the size of Manhattan. So what real intimacy
will mean, is saying to someone, "would you like to visit my world?" My visions, my
values, my dreams, my fears, in a sense, what virtual reality is, is a strategy to turn
ourselves inside out."
When you look at our journey, and think of how far we've come, and realise the
astonishment of our technological creations - the thought of advancing our technology
to the point of turning our minds inside out and living within our imaginations thanks
to the use of virtual reality, does not seem so far-fetched. Anyone alive today is
witnessing the unfolding of the greatest technological period in human history so far
resulting in the most glorious era of the availability of information and connectivity.
We travel more than ever, resulting in our brains processing a broader range of new
data from fashion, to food, to culture and so forth, as we connect to unfamiliar people,
environments, and habitats. Our language must evolve so we can keep up with these
changes, or for the novelty of innovation to keep up with language, it must be
implemented.
16
The Power of Language
In the beginning, there was the word, and God said, "Let there be light." And there
was light.
17
potential through their poor choice of words. The words we have adopted from past
generations, the past generations that missed the mark. Humanity isn’t peaceful yet,
and never will be unless we unlock the universal doors that are there for the opening
and discover the words needed to change the model of our reality and push humanity
into an ever pleasing, fourth-dimensional paradise of love.
Love.. It is preposterous that there is only one word for that divine state, yet thousands
of words have been poured into the area of business, and that quite obviously reflects
our world. A world presented with a lack of love yet business is ubiquitous; it is
everywhere. Western industrial capitalism is what we have spoken to be. Money,
work, wage, salary, market and so forth; the words are endless. It's dominating our
reality. Meanwhile, a world of love, kindness, peace, unity, connection, is swept away
due to the rare amount of times those words are spoken in a conversation. The
unusualness of conversing about love seems to be one of our greatest downfalls. But
to raise us back up, we all simply have to say the words needed and believe in them so
we can find ourselves not being shoved around by our words, but rather using words
to shape our reality to what we are quite obviously hoping for it to be. For each day,
more and more people are becoming tired of speaking and hearing about work, about
money, about financial matters, about the statuses of celebrities, about who broke up
with who. That linguistic module of reality is drying up. The calling to the
transcendence of the human race into the higher realms of consciousness is loudly
ringing; we all simply have to answer the phone and know the words to understand
before it is too late. Otherwise, we will be left behind. Many species may very well
have already made this transition before us. They are awaiting the human race of
earth, and our disappearance from this dimension will give rise for the other species
on this planet to grow and do the same. Because currently as we stand, we are
impeding the evolution of other earthlings, we have overstayed our welcome.
18
If you wish to experiment with this yourself to understand the power of language, I
ask of you to have a general conversation with someone and notice what is being said.
What words dominate and lead the conversation, and what words come to be within
your mind. Especially be aware of what is being said in a conversation with someone
you have just met for the first time. Here, in the Western culture, I’m sure the question
regarding “What do you do for a living?” will be asked, which causes thoughts of
work to spawn and that brings about thoughts of money - which causes your mind in
that present moment to manifest that Western industrial capitalist world into existence.
For you see, we predominantly use conversations - the exchanging of words to acquire
an insight of someone else’s mind. To explore, see, feel, listen, experience their world
through the conveyance of words. Our minds create language, and our language
creates our mind, and together they form our reality. Therefore, what is our reality but
the collective human mind? Your mind is a clear reflection of your world; language is
the catalyst for the mind to create reality. The origin of language and its birth into
existence must be the single most influential human-made creation ever. It is truly that
of magic; it destroys any thought that existence is the simple act of mundanity.
We Must Change
What has happened to our world? The experience of life for the average Western
working person is trivial, repetitive, and only purposeful for the act of acquiring
money and using that to obtain things. Things that lack any real value and fill no void,
only to lead to the act of purchasing and consuming more things until one is in a state
19
of consumer mania. That is the current predicament we find ourselves placed in. The
high human population is not an issue; this planet can host billions and billions of
people. It is the massive consumption found in the culture of the West that is causing
distress on ourselves, other beings, our environment and the planet. Twelve percent of
the world's population lives in North America and Western Europe and accounts for
more than sixty percent of private consumption spending, but a third of humanity who
live in South Asia and sub-Saharan Africa account for only 3.2 percent. It is evident to
anyone who has the compassion to invest their mind into this area of knowledge that
the current culture of the majority of Western people just cannot continue if we wish
to exist seventy years from now. It has to change. To do this, I advise you look within
and question if you are who you want to be. If your existence in this time of history
projects the meaning you strongly wish to live and leave when you venture out of this
dream of life. As the great Rumi once said,
Many of us are always seeking to change ourselves for the supposed better. But so
often, the better we're looking for is regarding our society and cultures current beliefs.
We cut our hair, wear specific clothing, speak a certain way, consume more, wear
makeup, add or lose weight, etc. To impress others, we transform ourselves into clear
reflections of our society and culture - so that we are deemed by what is considered
normal. What this does is cause us to lose sight of the happy person we once were -
who we now miss. We change to become models, representatives of standards
unnatural to how we genuinely want to feel, look and live. Selling ourselves to
"normalities", so that Chloe wants breast implants and a new dress every Tuesday, as
Jacob lifts weights and dresses in concern to what his peers deem attractive so that he
20
is accepted and given an identity. This change is unhealthy, unnatural, and results in
misery, anxiety and often at times, suicide. The change I speak of that is necessary for
your happiness and health must come from you. That will transform not only yourself
but the environment around you for the better. Our current culture here in the West of
infecting the youth with toxic habits and useless desires that rob them of a future of
love will result in destructive lifestyles that are now evident in this period. Planet earth
and its inhabitants are feeling the pressure, a world where not only are the poor
miserable but so are the rich. The carbon dioxide levels in our atmosphere surpassed
402 parts per million in 2014, the most it has ever been in at least the last 800,000
years. Annually, 8.8 million metric tonnes of plastic waste are dumped into the ocean
as the world’s population density increases. Scientists say marine debris levels could
reach up to 155 million metric tonnes (341.7 billion pounds) by 2025. Logging and
other forms of forest-clearing actions resulted in an estimated loss of 13 million
hectares of land every year between 2000 and 2010. In 2015, the United Nations
world water development reported a possible 40% shortfall of water supply by the
year 2030, and the need to produce 60% more food from now to feed the world's
rapidly growing population by the year 2050. Unquestionably, this planet cannot
sustain this system. We are in dire need of more people who are willing to stand up for
themselves and give out a reaching hand for those who cannot, so we can lift this
beautiful world up and out of the pit of madness and chaos and hold it high above as a
loving beacon of light. Lit to shine throughout the universe expressing the notion that
finally, the human species has got it right.
Has it ever occurred to you how astonishing our intelligence is, and the creations
we've implemented into this world? It took the Apollo missions about three days to
reach the moon, and just eight hours and thirty-five minutes for the New Horizons
probe. We have created transportation technology such as cars, planes, and spaceships.
We have enhanced our ability to spread information to one another around the world
21
by inventing satellites, phones, computers and the internet. We build and construct
houses, towers, bridges, skyscrapers that would express the intricacy of the modern
human mind. We have relinquished many medical problems and provide products to
help the human race fight against the nature of sickness through the use of bio-related
technology. However, here we are in a world torn by primordial ways of investing our
minds into unhealthy habits. It is an incongruous place to exist in. Why have we not
created technology to provide the basic human needs for every individual? Why have
we not turned our creativity and intelligence to the sun, to think of ways to obtain the
free energy so that we can fuel our needs for the health of the planet? Neil De Grasse
Tyson stated a fact about the sun and the solar power it produces through the winds
and the waves; that is just mind boggling when you put into consideration our current
energy sources. Neil said;
"There is another source of clean, renewable energy available all over the world. The
winds themselves are solar powered because our Sun drives the wind and waves.
Unlike solar collectors, wind farms take up very limited land. If they are offshore,
where the winds are strongest, it takes up no land at all. If we can tap even 1% of the
winds’ power, we would have enough energy to run our civilisation.”
More solar energy falls on Earth in one hour than all of the energy our entire
civilisation uses in a year. If we could harness even a small amount of the available
solar and wind power, we could take care of all of our energy needs forever without
adding any carbon to the atmosphere."
We are a species with both of our feet in the grave, while our hands are reaching high
into the sky of unnecessary desires. We need to re-evaluate where we place our minds,
and what sort of a world we'd like to leave for our children to live in. Should it be a
22
world where they can focus their energy on doing what they love without the worry of
having to feed themselves the basic needs for survival and face becoming addicted to
misrepresented items, products and places of false happiness? Or should they be left
with the technology that keeps them entertained, while they starve to death and fight
amongst one another for the last job so that they can eat, purchase more useless
products and keep up with their society? That is where we are heading. Half of the
human population have already been swallowed up by the consequences of this
madness, and we, the minority still have the privilege of anticipating an apocalypse
because we live in such isolated bubbles filled with rubbish information from garbage
sources.
It isn't an easy task to fix this mess, and shouldn't be. Even if we were to abolish the
system of money and produce sufficient needs for every individual through our
advancement in technology, the psychology, culture and attitude of many would
remain. The foolishness of the human race would still linger, found in the survival of
religion, racism, ego, consumer mania, immaturity, ignorance and belief in one's
culture. This proves that where the most important and significant change can be
found, is in the revolution of the mind.
The Mind
Without it, there'd be no reality; the human mind is extraordinary. The brain is an
organ of the physical domain, used to communicate with the body via neurological
transmitters so that we can function, move and react. A place where the mind resides
living in a world of thought, feeling, awareness and imagination. The very structure of
our reality relies on the collective human mind.
23
Existence is the intricacy of energy and vibrations in which our minds connect to so
that reality can exist. The old age question, "If a tree falls in a forest and nobody's
around to hear it, does it make a sound?" has a clear answer to modern science. There
needs to be an organism nearby that can translate the vibration of sound waves that the
tree produces by contacting the ground into noise. Otherwise, only vibrations occur
that drift. It is our brains that allow access to our minds to formulate, manipulate and
perceive realities by responding to the energy and vibrations we receive. For an
analogy, think similar to a TV. Signals are transmitted through radio waves (energy
and vibrations) in which are picked up by TV transmitters (our brains) and then
displayed on TV (our reality) concerning what the mind wishes to speak, see, hear,
feel, and overall experience. It is an interconnecting relationship of mind and reality,
of the observer and observed. We choose what we want to experience; that is our true
power. To be the creators and our creations, to be the thinkers and the thoughts, to
produce and live in a reality determined by what we say to be true. If we wish to have
our minds stagnate in the current world of believing capitalism, communism,
socialism or what have you - to be the only ways to govern, produce goods, and live,
then we will undoubtedly remain in this mess of a reality. The fact is that we have in
us, all of us, true magic known to us as the mind, and it is the essence of reality.
However, for some reason we allow ourselves to forget this. We see reality as
something external, there to limit possibilities and control us so that we do not change
it to what we quite naturally desire it to be, but so that we submit and fight for it. We
argue to others that these outdated governing systems are necessary and work well,
even though it is so intellectually oblivious to any individual that our current world is
in one of the most odious and worst states, period ever, in human history. Too many
people are afraid to think for themselves, to take back their minds. Preferring to give it
to ideologies, religions, cultures, sociological constructs built in an attempt to make
sense of the world, they take you in and cause you to represent their beliefs
subconsciously; to lose your humanness.
24
Our minds are impregnated with fallacies, consciously and subconsciously we filter
reality in regards to them. We dismiss anything that may challenge or interfere with
our personal thoughts and beliefs. Part of the reason is due to the fear of realising that
what we have thought for so long is wrong because it causes us to re-evaluate
ourselves and make light of our faults and mistakes which many would prefer to
ignore. An intelligent, transcendental and mature person would be open minded to
challenging her/his beliefs and thoughts; it is the only way of progression by
transformation of one's mind. For your darkness of ignorance to be illuminated by
your willingness to brighten your flame of knowledge. This applies to all informative
sources, whether it be science, religion, culture, this book, or any ideologies that try to
provide you with the answers. I encourage you to question everything with an open
mind. Assimilate in the information, study, research, and never settle for an answer
that you have not questioned completely alone and with others, to the best of your
capability.
All of us are intoxicated and addicted to thoughts, a powerful drug that distorts our
reality in regards to how we think. Take, for example, someone who is currently in
school or college. Their mind would be filled with thoughts relevant to their
environment. They would be thinking of exams, school work, their grades, which in
Western culture gives birth to thoughts of evaluating themselves in mind of their
future, who they'll be and where they'll work. They also dwell in social environments,
needing to understand what is normal, cool, therefore desiring to produce thoughts
which allow them to create an identity to fit in. Their mind is absorbed by these
thoughts they collectively share with the other students, that they formulate a reality
unknown and unperceived by outsiders, causing it to seem very much like the same
effects of mind altering drugs. Think of when you left a particular environment such
25
as high school. The drama, the importance of fitting in, of not getting in trouble, of
looking good to impress your peers. Thoughts we now deem as childish that hold no
real value because we have an outside perspective. Why should your current reality be
any different? Take this one example, and you can relate it to yourself and the reality
you now live in. So, therefore, you must realise how our minds distort reality due to
numerous reasons and see how illusory it truly is, for it never constantly holds any real
value. We are always changing our perception, our thoughts on life, resulting in
viewing our previous selves as someone who was so ignorant and unknowing. But
now, this moment, we tell ourselves that we have the knowledge and understanding to
the real truths of existence, the universe and reality. It is clearly a laughable pattern.
Hence, why it is so important to question your thoughts regularly and to have
discussions with other open minded people. This is the direction of unity, the art of
philosophy, the lack of it is why so many people suffer from torn minds with anxiety,
suicidal thoughts and depression. Because they are stuck believing in a reality they do
not wish to live in.
26
I suppose if we're honest, we would admit that most of us are not happy at all with
ourselves. Maybe it's because of the way you look, or where you are in life, your
financial situation; or maybe it's just because of how you are as a person in general.
You become consumed by the ocean of depression. Drowning predominantly in
substances that can cause sensory deprivation such as alcohol, you consistently look
for different ways to escape from yourself. It's why you binge watch movies, play
videogames, or listen to music - so you can forget who you are for just that moment so
that you can breathe. But no matter how hard you try, you'll always come to, and
return to the very person that you hate; yourself. And it is here, that depression can
become so severe, it gets to the point that losing yourself becomes impossible.
Allowing thoughts of death by suicide to wander throughout your mind until one day -
you do it. So you no longer have to endure the suffering that depression brings to your
life. You make a decision. I want you to remember that to simply exist as you are - is
to manifest the entire universe in the form of a human being. Fundamentally, there is
nothing wrong with you whatsoever - nothing to cry about. However, the human game
will tell you otherwise. It will label you, categorise you, push you into submission
until you conform to the socially constructed norms and become someone that you're
not. Remind yourself that the real you is bigger than that. The real you is as beautiful
as the stars above, as vast as entire galaxies and as captivating as the expansion of
space. You are all divine.
I find it interesting about how many of us do suffer from depression, especially within
the youth. It's a clear indication to me that the world we have created is completely
toxic for everyone and everything. For how is it possible that a fourteen-year-old
would feel the need to go home and commit suicide? And for us to still think that we
are heading in the right direction as species, to be proud of humanity. Being young is a
time where you should feel freedom, captivated by the magnificence of existence and
chasing the wonders of love! Instead, many of us are filled with this eternal judgment,
a raging battle where you are caught having a conversation with yourself about
27
whether you're doing the right thing, or if things will go the right way. It is honestly
nonsense. You cannot make a mistake, believe me; nothing can go wrong
fundamentally. Of course, however, you can, and most likely will make a mistake
when it comes to this game we've created. You may very well get nervous and panic
when you have to talk to someone, so you mumble your words as you stutter and
make yourself feel terrible; for you're trying to speak in what is supposedly the
"correct way." Therefore, it becomes favourable for you to hide away and avoid such
situations. That is social anxiety. Because society has rules, shared common
characteristics traits in which you have been educated on and must live by to be
labelled what we consider normal. But see, you're struggling to adapt to these rules
and transform yourself because, after all, you're human, not a machine to be
programmed. So you become anxious because you really want to get it right. You
want to be accepted and fit in and be identified because that's what society gives you,
a false identity. However, if you're struggling with this game, you get stricter and
stricter on yourself. You start having conversations in your head to prepare for a
particular situation. You evaluate all of your decisions; you tremble with anxiety. You
correct every "fault" you have or make that goes against what is apparently right. You
judge everything about you and beat yourself up until you conform, and eventually,
you become non-human. You become a representation, a reflection, a regurgitation of
your society. You're not beautiful anymore; you're not spontaneous and unique, you're
just a reproduction of the last person I met from your society. You've masked this
beautiful, loving - playful energy that is being expressed as a human with instead this
structured, ugly, hideous - fake plastic type identity. And this is what you get anxious
about? This is why you stress, struggle and feel depressed? To become something
you're not? To be someone you're not? You see everyone else striving to become this
ideal product of their environment, you know, their societies ideal view of beauty,
intelligence, fashion, one's self-image. And it's all so that they can sell themselves; to
get friends, jobs, join groups, etc. It's a game that has no rewards. And you're part of
it. You are so invested in it that you trouble yourself to become something that
28
dehumanises you. A puppet being pulled around on strings by your society and
culture. Cut the strings - be free.
Your future is unknown; your path is opaque. You're afraid, submerged and drowning
in the sickness of society while the idea of falling behind haunts your every step.
However, step you must so that you can realise that life is just a beautiful walk.
29
meaning of their life, the reason as to why they are here, is to acquire paper and titles
as they climb a ladder believed to lead them to success and happiness. We are
informed, conditioned and educated on this game since we begin school. It causes us
to identify ourselves with the information handed to us by our parents, peers, teachers,
and governments, that we leave out the truths that are rarely told, if not, at all. Wake
up and realise the truth to who you are.
What hasn't been said, or what rarely gets told - is how incredibly beautiful you
actually are. Your complexity, the depth of your intellectual capabilities, your
biological and chemical structures, your advanced neurological system - the power of
your ability to imagine - to dream; to create your reality - your experience through the
use of the mind: You're utterly gorgeous. And yet, we're told to believe that beauty is
found just within the physical realm. That if you haven't got a particular face or body,
then you're not worthy to be defined as "beautiful." Furthermore, it deepens on a
psychological level to cause us only to find answers and truth within the physical
domain, ignoring the immense attractiveness that is found outside of physicality. What
I want you to realise - is the truth of what you are. How astonishingly stunning you are
to exist - just to be, here. For the amount of magic that is being pulsated, exuded out
of you constantly, is like the stars above. You are a wonder to gaze at, marvel at, to
make one question how such a magnificent - complex organism could exist with all
this novelty and depth. It is beyond inconceivable, and yet, here you are. An artist of
light and energy painting this world with your movement, your experiences'; the
colours evoked from your palette of emotional states so that each present moment
reflects you. You are the word beautiful made flesh, and you might say to yourself,
my God? What was I thinking!? Why was I so afraid? For don't you see what is really
happening? You have completely forgotten that this glorious thing we call life is the
work of you - it is you. Because just by consciously being here, you pull matter
together, form meaning out of sound, convert light into vision, map the edges and
30
surfaces of this planet. You bring forth objects, technology drawn forth from your
imagination, and without you, none of it would exist; it would cease to be. So to tell
yourself that you are not beautiful based on the cosmetic reasons handed down to you
by your society and culture, such as you're too overweight, have unusual facial
features, lack gorgeous eyes, too tall or too small and so forth is ridiculous. You are
the word beautiful made flesh, and knowing that, there is no way for me not love you,
nor for you to not love yourself.
31
relevant to the duration of your relationship with them, for how much of yourself is
being expressed and exposed is in regards to how long the critic has known you. Sure,
you may know someone for a short amount of time and express more to them than
someone you have known for longer, but the main point still stands - you are being
judged by how much you show yourself. For example, your family members or close
friends have more insight to who you truly are and therefore their judgements
concerning how they perceive you are of more value than a person you have not
known for long. For the judgement of the person that has not known you for long
would be directed at only a minimal amount of knowledge that they have of your
identity. Their opinions about you aren't necessarily about your entire identity, but
instead about a small amount of you in which they have been exposed to. So there is a
difficulty to have the exact answer as to whether people actually like you because of
you, for the you that they are aware of and have met may not be the complete person
that you sincerely are.
Your (illusory) identity can be flimsy for you are constantly changing and choosing
different identifying factors to use as ways to define yourself. How people view you
can be entirely different and unrelated to how you view yourself. Therefore, knowing
who you are can become a complicated matter if you're someone who relies on the
opinions of others to tell you who you are - for you will naturally be torn and left in a
state of confusion due to wanting to be someone that opposes who you're defined as
by others. For many of us, how we see ourselves is but a picture of the words of others
that tell us who we are. Their words create a mirror to see our reflection in, and
usually, we try to polish the mirror and maintain a particular image as a way to portray
an identity that is relevant to who we've been told we are so that we can be liked and
accepted. That can give rise to people having a lack of self-confidence, for they are
always worried about how they are viewed by their peers and others around them.
Unfortunately, that will most likely lead to disliking yourself, for you will eventually
32
get to the point where you see yourself as unrecognisable, as someone foreign to who
you once were or want to be. It is not to say that the judgement of others and their
opinions of you should always be discredited and seen as merely unhealthy -
destructive identity input. But rather that there is no use in defining yourself in regards
to the views of others that they have of you, if all that it does is cause you to feel
miserable by becoming someone you don't want to be.
Our identities seem to be a canvas for life to paint our personalities artistically. But
we, ourselves as humans, with the free will of our minds can still choose the colours it
uses. We just need to be aware of the social environments we place ourselves in.
Being liked by ourselves or by others plays a major role in your well-being, but so
does being the person who you wish to be, regardless of the opinions of others.
33
confused. You can see the conditioning and brainwashing they’ve undergone
throughout their upbringing that has morphed their views and perspectives just by
looking at their facial reaction. Take notice at a common question asked when
conversing with someone you’ve just met for the first time, or haven't seen in awhile.
One of the first things they ask you is, “So what are you doing with your life?" Now
they’re not asking what you love to do as a human being, for example, reading,
listening to music, writing, painting, playing sports, meditating, relaxing, whatever it
is that you like to do. Rather, what they’re asking is what do you do to earn money
which causes you to start defining yourself in regards to your source of income,
instead of what you love to do and how you express yourself. What that
psychologically does is make one believe that their purpose is not to play, but to work.
Therefore, someone who plays more than they work should be ashamed of
themselves. Maybe that mental attitude has been implanted in our minds by our
teachers, parents, politicians and peers, for the purpose for us to grow up and
regurgitate it to our children so that we can keep this cycle going and remove any
possibility of someone opposing this outdated way of life. If there is someone who
does wake up and oppose the way we humans live, they’re put down for it and quickly
hushed by their fellow peers before their thoughts wake someone else up. The idea is
to trick everyone into believing that our current system of capitalism or communism is
the best we can do as a species, so us up here who look down on you all can stay up
here. It’s quite shallow really. Therefore, in a society with this culture, if you’re
unemployed you feel immense guilt and become depressed because you can’t define
yourself. You don’t work; therefore you have no identity. Or you do work, but you
have a crappy job, so you define yourself as someone with a crappy life, thus causing
many people to feel lost and disappointed with themselves.
Think about the educational system, the schooling structure of how students are
defined by their results and their futures are sculptured by it. It’s a competitive
34
upbringing; no wonder why so many students nowadays suffer heavily from anxiety.
Their very purpose of life according to how we educated them, their reason for
existing, is what they happen to score on their final exams results. Leading to the
students treating each other as opponents, and hoping that they do better than one
another. That causes unity to be unknown, non-existent which will undoubtedly lead
to a type of world that we currently are living in today. The world where egotistical
nature is predominate, but support for one another is difficult to find naturally. We
rely on charities, services that are government owned to produce food, clothing, and
shelter for people in need. The desire to naturally do this for each other is in every
single one of us; it's just hidden and impeded by the human game that forces you to
compete with your fellow man.
Don't compare yourself to others based on superficial reasons such as your place
within society, for you’ll lose yourself in a game that has no rewards. Don't allow
yourself to fall victim to being a machine regurgitating what your society has educated
and informed you on how to think, act, or feel - for you’ll become something you’re
not. Be who you want, feel how you want, and do what you love regardless of anyone
else's perspective because nothing can question love, and love it was you are. Each
one of you is perfect, just as you are, even if you don’t know it. You’re quite
marvellous truthfully; you’re all beautiful.
Love Is Magical
I think part of the meaning of falling in love with someone is that you create a
universe. A universe containing shared memories, experiences, thoughts, visions,
desires - hopes and dreams; in which it's existence is only real to the creators. So
35
heartbreak, the loss of a loved one hurts so immensely for it is the collapse of an entire
universe. It is the breakdown of a reality, causing the affected to feel lost, confused,
and unaware of how to function without the other partner. Unsure of how to live
within this new found environment of being alone that is always invaded by the
transmission of memories of a past reality, a past universe that is slowing dying and
fading out. Therefore, the only healthy response to this situation is simply to love
again. To open your heart up to a new universe with someone who will show you their
world, and together, form a connection which will lead to the creation, the birth of an
organism with you and your partner's universe intertwined within their molecules,
their DNA. All of you and your partner's memories, travels, adventures, experiences
together prior to the birth of your child are part of the creating process of combining
two hearts and minds. Then the physical act of sex, making love takes place to
implement them into a physical being. In other words, your child is you and your
partner's universe brought into being, captured inside an organism and growing from
the source of love in which you produce. Consequently, life becomes fascinating. It
becomes an exuberance of novelty as you witness the evolution of a universe through
the existence of your child. And so I believe, part the foundation of our universe, the
force that drives the cosmos is the same foundation of all of our creations, it's all love.
Love breeds magic into existence. Life is not something dull, how can that be when
it's possible that someone could drop everything and fall in love with a person that
they have just met for the first time? I refuse to believe that life is just this. That there
aren't any incredible discoveries yet to be found that would go against everything that
we know, or what we think we know. I believe there is still a lot of unknown hidden
magic about reality yet to be discovered by humans; fascinating and astonishing
findings. I honestly do believe that existence is magical. Thinking such a way requires
the need to dream, to imagine outside of the limiting “truths” that are handed to us,
like the truth that to better yourself when sick, you must take medicine, that the mind
itself cannot cure you. But yet the mind can tell my hand to write words that can
influence and impregnate my thoughts into someone else’s mind. That is pure magic.
36
Once upon a time we stood in awe at the magic of fire, we witnessed the birth of the
wizardry of language; we captivated ourselves with the enchantment of art, surrealism.
We discovered the witchery craft of electricity, and we built machines that were once
told in fairy tales. To still see reality as something dull and predictable is to live a
blind life. Life is magical! It is alive with any possibility you can dream of. There
once was a human who dreamt of not having to rely on their memories to capture
moments of life and thus imagined a magical instrument that could do it for them. And
so the camera was born. You see, we must not take the love of dreaming of magic as
child's play, for it is the essence of our reality, the source of our creations, the
fundamental necessity to the entire cosmos itself. There really is something magical
happening here.
Imagine if you will, being taken back in time to the 18th century and trying to tell
someone of the possibilities based on your knowledge of the 21st-century creations.
Your words would fall without meaning, looked upon as impossible by most, yet seen
as possible magic by some. There is no difference as to where we are now. How can
you say life is not magical when you put in consideration the astonishing inventions
being made yearly by people daring to dream the impossible? Daring and driven by
love to extract the enchanting ideas found in their imaginations and implement them
into this world. Ideas like virtual reality, space exploration, deep ocean exploration,
3D printing, artificial intelligence, the magic that we now see as normal.
37
Imagination
What is happening is that each and every one of us is born into this world as an artist.
We all carry with us some magic, some part of what we had before we were born, and
that magic is what we call the imagination. The imagination has the capability to
construct entire worlds all from within your mind. Consequently, if you're creative
enough - you can extract those worlds through the conveyance of your love for a
particular art into this world and watch it manifest; grow throughout the minds of
others and as a result, this world reflects what you once imagined. People once
imagined the world we are now living in. The power of the imagination is so
revolutionary that the key to sustaining an oppressing political system is to
disempower the people by restricting their ability to imagine, to dream. To
psychologically implant fallacies that the imagination is for children, for people who
haven't got a grip on reality, yet our reality clearly reflects our imagination. We have
been lied to, informed that the world is made of money, ladders to climb, to reach old
age, and educated on absolute rubbish to fool us into treating existence as a
pre-organised reality with set rules and laws that you must abide by. Isn't it clear
enough that we make the rules? We decide what is real or not, what works and doesn't
work, what reality is and isn't. It is so obvious that we are collectively together
deciding what our reality is - using the imagination as a source to draw from, art as a
tool to implement and language as a platform to change reality according to the
invention. We now say it's possible for humans to fly by use of a plane, to hear one's
voice miles away from the other, to capture reality through what we now call
photographing. Ideas once seen as impossible for they went against the rules we
created, so they laid rested in the imagination, waiting for someone to dream them into
existence. Unfortunately, we are now living in a reality reflective of the minds that
imagine a world of capitalism, communism, war, dominance, poverty, money, and we
the people have decided to accept that as our reality and continue to live by its rules.
The invention of career's springing into existence has helped keep this type of reality
38
alive. For it provides the artist with a premade future, causing them not to reach their
creative potential in which could have progressed human evolution by implementing
their ideas that were drawn forth from the imagination, but they are instead following
a path to utter misery. Meaning, someone who has the creative potential to provide the
human race with a solution for free energy has instead sold themselves to work for
some company to achieve money, progress up the illusory ladder, and has formed a
desire to die at an old age.
As a species, I believe we have found what we have been looking for, and it’s been
within each and every one of us all along. The philosopher's stone, the elixir of life,
the pot at the end of the rainbow, the starship that will take us interstellar has always
been within our minds, our imagination. But it has been restricted, marginalised and
oppressed by corporations, institutions, businesses that will squeeze your intelligence,
your artistic mind to feed its existence. We are no longer free to imagine a world so
different from this one without being looked upon as foolish dreamers. However, I
say, find the others, rally the artists, gather your artistic tools and express your
imagination so that humanity can be saved from our current path to self-destruction.
That is what I encourage, for people to rebel and to trust themselves. Find out what it
is that you dream of so often and believe in it, regardless of what others have to say.
For in the end, this is your life, your time to enjoy this moment while it lasts. Why
give your mind - yourself over to others so that they can tell you who you are, how the
world is and how to live your life with purpose? It is your purpose that matters to you,
not somebody else's who tells you that you must become a lawyer so that you have
meaning and success, and it is there that you will find happiness, which is an absolute
lie! Conceived by them for the reason to reinsure themselves that they made the right
decision to become a lawyer because someone told them the same thing. It is a cycle
that we need to break free from. Today's youth must stand up for what they love rather
than give in to what the older generations are so stubbornly keeping alive. The notion
39
that happiness is found in the success related to the system of money, a system that is
killing our planet and causing depression in both the rich and the poor. The fountain of
the youth's imagination is the most uncorrupted, yet to be poisoned by the schooling
system and older generations. It is the young we must listen to and learn from to
realise where we have it so wrong. They can teach us how to dream, love and live
again. They can show us how to reconnect with our imaginations.
40
elected leader must have qualities that I believe are scarcely found in the profession of
being politicians; qualities such as love and peace for all of life. The two candidates
that have been selected out of 310 million people to represent the majority, and lead a
country that is significantly influential on this planet, is an obnoxious, egotistical,
money hungry war monger maniac, and the other is an obnoxious, egotistical - money
hungry war monger maniac. And yet we the people allow such a situation to unfold
and let individuals who represent less than one percent of us to lead the human race
into a direction that can surely only result in a place reflective to the leader's mind. If
you want a world of love, unity, peace and happiness, then find a mind that represents
such ideals, and you will surely be granted with such a place.
For some reason, we divert our frustration of our misery towards one another and
ourselves. In fear of being judged, we don't express how we sincerely feel, resulting in
not realising that most of us are unhappy and think the same way about our dire
circumstances. We hate work, money, judgement, and use our stress that is born from
feeling such a way to relay it onto others as a form of coping with the immense
depression that is ubiquitous in humanity. The counterculture revolution of the 1960s
attempted what we should honestly think about doing, and that is the coming together
of the human race and disempowering the oppressing leaders that seek to control and
control us all. But first, we must find the others, as Timothy Leary said,
“Admit it. You aren’t like them. You’re not even close. You may occasionally dress
yourself up as one of them, watch the same mindless television shows as they do,
maybe even eat the same fast food sometimes. But it seems that the more you try to fit
in, the more you feel like an outsider, watching the “normal people” as they go about
their automatic existences. For every time you say club passwords like “Have a nice
day” and “Weather’s awful today, eh?” You yearn inside to say forbidden things like
41
“Tell me something that makes you cry” or "What do you think Deja vu is for?”. Face
it; you even want to talk to that girl in the elevator. But what if that girl in the elevator
(and the balding man who walks past your cubicle at work) are thinking the same
thing? Who knows what you might learn from taking a chance on conversation with a
stranger? Everyone carries a piece of the puzzle. Nobody comes into your life by mere
coincidence. Trust your instincts. Do the unexpected. Find the others…”
By your interest in continuing to read this far, I assume you desire change, liberation
from this game, or rather to modify this game altogether and create a revolution. For
there is something about this world that just doesn't seem right to you, as it doesn't to
me. Because we are living in a time where our politicians, our leaders - no longer
serve the people but rather serve a system; and where consumer mania is fashionable
and tolerated. Where our celebrities represent material excess causing the youth to
mimic and search for happiness in trash filled areas. A time where our environment
illustrates a picture of a species delusional to the irreversible destruction that they are
causing to their planet. It is a time where three billion people live on $2.50c or less a
day, and where fifteen children die per minute due to poor conditions. Even though we
have the knowledge, resources, intelligence and technology to fix all of these issues,
we are instead miserable; lost in the midst of plenty. In a time where we are in a
desperate need for a revolution, to find the others, to bring down these anti-human
institutions that hate ordinary people. A time where we must reclaim our minds and
take them back from these cultural engineers who marginalise us. It is a time where I
call upon you. You the free intellectual being who holds the key, the potential, the
power to transform this world and transcend the human race into the higher
mysterious realms that have been awaiting our species for far too long. A time where
you make a stand against these controlling and demoralising entities. Where you speak
your mind, think for yourself and make your voice heard and where you reach out
your hand to humanity and save us from ourselves. To emerge and show yourself to
42
the world, for we are in need of people like you! It's you that's going to bring about the
change that we are in desperate need of; it isn't going to come from our leaders, these
institutions and celebrities. The time is now to say rubbish to these fascists who tell
you how you should live. The very people that lie and trick you into thinking that this
is the best humanity can do. We have everything needed to produce a human paradise,
but our leader's policies in which they espouse to mean planetary death. That's the
position in which we are currently placed in. More wars, more destroyed lands, more
death, more separation. This is it; this is the time where we leave a mark. I see
generation Y and Z as the ones that will bring about a radical positive change to the
way we live, for there seems to be a sudden burst of artistic minds that have sprung
into existence. Minds that are questioning the current political values handed down to
us and are exploring possible ways to improve humanity. Find these fellow
intellectual thinkers before it's too late. Find the others.
43
immensely, pleasurable realms until we finally return to our true self; that is the
destination evolution is taking us. For we are not here to deal with aggrandizing
ourselves with money and attaining a status in society. We are not here not to limit
ourselves with these illusory identity forming concepts, such as defining who you are
as a person in regards to your pay, or judging your intelligence and who you'll become
in regards to your exam results. That is pure rubbish, nonsense. Doing what you love
is the internal spaceship to the stars, to happiness. Love is a force that steps outside the
restrictions of space, time and matter. To be in the state of love, simply makes you a
God. So If you substitute doing what you love for doing something that pays well, you
are delusional.
Too many people are deluded and controlled by this odious game that they spend their
entire lives trying to become someone who they don't even want to be. They sell
themselves to reach the apex of this system and acquire the fulfilment of happiness it
so dearly promises, but once they arrive there, they realise it was all a hoax; that they
were fooled by the game. To do whatever it is that you love to do and truly experience
its magic is the most intelligent decision one can make. You make a more intelligent
decision than the person who decided to get a degree in a study that they had no true
interest in but pays well because you begin to learn and understand what actually
matters in the context of life. You grasp the soul of God and empower your existence
with its presence. Your life becomes a life worth living, and your limited time here in
this dimension is spent wisely, even if it is cut short. Because It’s better to have a
short life that is full of what you like doing than a long life spent in a miserable way,
as once said by an Alan Watts. You see, death is inevitable. The transition of freeing
oneself from the shackles of matter is fastly approaching for each and every one of us;
we will all soon cease to be. And all that we acquired along the way, all the stuff and
things we found value in will turn into nothing. So I ask you the question, are you
living the life you want to live? Or is it a life polluted with delusion, fear of losing
44
what you think you have, spending what little time you have left doing things you
don't love, thinking that you can buy the time back in the future? There is no time but
now! The future and the past are illusions. Where you are now, the present moment is
all you have. This day may be the very last day you exist under the form you're
currently taking, so what is it that you want to say? What is it that you want to do?
Where is that you want to go? Give the universe an experience it's yearning for
because why else would you exist other than to experience the magic that awaits?
I honestly, heartily believe that everyone should make this particular solemn vow to
themselves, and that is to do what they love. To dream a dream worthy of this
dimension and not to be persuaded by these tricks, these diversions devised to control
and disempower. But rather you should scream and create chaos, rage at conformity,
rebel against the social norms - bleed boundless love and explore the unknown. Write
your story with great syntax and ingrain into the earth so that all of nature can read it;
leave your mark. Speak the language that life knows, for our language is too
controlled to capture life through the use of our words, it tends to take the magic away
from what is. Tear down the illusory boundaries set upon you by others, bring forth
the world you hide internally, for there are an infinite amount of alternative worlds
within you, you just need to decide what world you'd like to express and externally the
world will reflect. For the world that you currently are experiencing is all inside of
your mind. That's what it looks like behind your eyes. You're a creator, created to
experience your creation through the senses of many. So take risks, swim into the
deepest depths of life without holding your breath. For trying to cling on to an
ever-changing world will take the magnificence, the beauty away from life and you
will be left behind, caught in a deluded reality and therefore missing out on what is
happening here and now. That is the great secret that has been kept from us. We have
tricked ourselves to live for a future, there is no time but now! Love the man or
woman you fancy now! Have courage and follow your heart. Dance with fire and
45
smile at danger, make your voice heard and paint a colourful reality. Hurl yourself
into the abyss and discover that there is a giant feather bed awaiting your arrival.
Question the entire evaluation system handed to you, and by God I urge you to love
and live with joyous energy for this is your dream. Our dream. We collectively share
an overmind, and what we collectively envision, our reality shall be. We decide what
we want to experience. War, poverty, starvation, misery. We have the love, the power,
the intelligence, the knowledge, the technology to create a world where every man,
woman and child can be given the basic needs for human survival and more. For there
is no obstacle, no challenge, no mountain you cannot conquer. You are a divine being,
you're important, you matter. You were born from the depths of nothing, and yet you
became something. To define yourself as anything else but omnipotent is
preposterous. Do not give your mind over to others for they will strip you naked of
your true potential, your true power, your real identity. The evolution of humanity lies
within the realm of the spiritual, but don't look outwards and give your mind to
ideologies that teach limitations such as religion, look within. Discover the true
anatomy of a being which is the entire universe. We are all one, we are all in this
together, and there is an urgent need to come to the realisation that we are God; for we
are currently paving our path to our extinction over the bones of species we have
already sentenced to the grave. That is mainly due to society's teachings of
consumerism. We are all deities, and no structured game can confine our true power.
Awaken and reveal the real self that lies within each and every one of us. This
universe is our masterpiece, and we can paint whatever reality we desire, however
colourful, however beautiful, however adventurous, but we have forgotten what it's
really like to live like Gods, to feel connected, to be alive - to imagine. We have been
sidetracked by our game in which its only conclusion is the destruction of all life. So
be creative, dream the unimaginable dream - for it's the only dream worthy of this
dimension.

SECTION II
Questioning
Ourselves And
Weirdness
48
Existence is weird. Why or how it is so that we exist in the form we are currently
taking is truly baffling. Such thoughts kill the drama of the human game. Like
worrying about what people think of you, or stressing about work, or having anxiety
about your status in society. They all become insignificant and incredibly small
minded like when your mind wanders to bigger thoughts such as questioning how it is
so that life exists at all. Grand thoughts like these can liberate you but at the same time
limit you, for you realise that we humans and our arrogant ways have tricked
ourselves into forgetting that we are just occupying a spaceship that looks like a pale
blue dot after all; spinning and moving far off in space. With all of our apparent
significances, issues, accomplishments and history - we all seem to be but less than a
speck on the face of our galaxy. Isn't it weird?
49
this and does not give his or her mind over to these fools that say they know about
these grey aliens and reptilians; how they look, speak, act, their motives, desires,
characteristics, origins, technology and so forth. What bugs me is that a species such
as ourselves who are yet to travel out of our tiny solar system, are stating facts about
the lifestyle and motives of possible species that would be so complex, they could
travel galaxies! Who's to say that they're even made of matter!? They may very well
be made of elements we have no idea about, yet to discover. We are unaware of the
foreign alien elements, compounds and substances out there in the universe, and yet
we are picking the minds of these species who are way beyond our intellectual
understanding when we cannot even understand our own minds. You have people
come to you and claim their experience with time crossing, dimensional-hopping
extraterrestrials and how they interacted with them and what they said - and they place
it down as fact. What gets me the most, what really spoils my mood, is that these
individuals, religions, cults, communities and groups, claim they know the truth to
something that is beyond our understanding through the use of language and our small
minds. We use ourselves as examples to form facts of what intelligent forms of life
out in space may be like. That just does not make any sense to me. That is like a
cockroach stating facts about human characteristics and lifestyles (even though in the
first place it cannot create such thoughts!) based on its nature. It is just ridiculously
ignorant, small minded and stupid that we do that. Our thoughts on extraterrestrials
are so culturally bounded and limited, influenced by multiple sources such as friends,
family, media, movies, the internet and TV shows - that you formulate and project
these images within your mind of what these species look like and their personalities.
You need to take a step out of that cultural programming to begin theorising and
thinking of possibilities. Firstly, admit you know nothing.
I have proposed a law to help aid us in understanding such complicated matters. The
law states that something out of the ordinary requires an out of the ordinary
50
explanation to prove that it is real and not of the mind, for the mind will give a simple
and relative answer to an experience of the mind. Most ufologists don't give out of the
ordinary explanations. They stick within the limitations of the modern ufology culture
thus precluding themselves from the possible truth and instead embracing delusion.
The logic behind this law is that we cannot understand out of the ordinary experiences
with ordinary thinking for it limits you to simple ideas that cannot compete with the
experience itself. For example, witnessing a "UFO" is an out of the ordinary
experience (for now) in which Ufologist give an ordinary explanation that an educated
nine-year-old could imagine such as the UFO being an E.T spacecraft. That is limited
ordinary cultural thinking. Instead, a theory of the UFO being us from a different
time-stream, in which they happened to advance quicker for certain reasons such as
the rise and existence of religion never happening, and they were able to develop
advanced technology for they honed in on the importance of love and unity. That now
the two time-streams are merging back together and so they are drawn into our reality
as we are pulled into theirs. Therefore, we see these crafts appearing and disappearing
without realising that they are us transparently seen, up until both timelines
completely merge back together. That is just one out of the ordinary explanation to the
UFO phenomenon which has more value and credit to explaining the truth based on
this law. Of course, however, it is still not as unordinary and profound as need be.
Weirdness such as the UFO phenomenon has been with us for quite some time.
Experiences with peculiar and strange events have been documented in human history
through the use of drawing, writing, modern photography and videography, and
possibly man-made structures such as the pyramids; ever since we had the ability to
convey the experience into lasting representations of meaning. Interaction with the
weird doesn't necessarily mean experiencing something uncommon and different. It
means experience with something supernatural, unable to be explained by science and
incomprehensible to man's understanding. We are surrounded by weirdness if you
define weird with this meaning, strange things like dreaming, imagination, intuition,
51
hallucinations, language, love and so forth. Life itself is weird, causing more
peculiarity in the strangeness of death and what it is.
Death Is Time
I have a theory as to what death may be. Firstly, I should say that our concept of death
does not exist, it is illusory. Death is human-made. It is a word used to define a being
that no longer operates in the usual fashion of what we call "alive." But that does not
mean that the being is what we mean by "dead.” No, you see, death is just a part of
life, everything is life. The being of whom we suppose is what we call dead is
experiencing a part of life that we the living are yet to encounter. And this process of
life in which we have titled as "death" is inevitable for all of us. It is the transition of
freeing oneself from the physical domain, for death grants one the opportunity to
undergo a universal feeling and to understand what life is all about. A feeling of
becoming all that flows, all that is, everything and anything. To fear death is simply to
fear life. To hate death is to misunderstand how beautiful it actually is, for death is the
artist that sculpts life into existence, and without its presence, none of this would exist.
A mature attitude towards death is to embrace it, to love it, for with such an approach
and understanding, one can begin to live freely; to appreciate and see the art of death
which is life, and realise that they imply one another. You cannot have one without the
other. You need the artist to produce the art for there to be any artist at all for they are
both one process. And with this understanding comes such delight. You'll begin to feel
something like weightlessness, not held down by the worrying of dying, of ceasing to
be, but rather realising that death is an importance of life, of beauty, of love, of
experience. It shapes who you are to this very second psychologically and physically,
for millions of your cells die per second while others are born as you transition
through stages of life and take on new forms, new personalities, new experiences due
52
to death progressing life. You see, where would humanity be if it weren't for the death
of the dinosaurs in history? It's as if death links in with time and is the cause of the
concept of time for death changes the present and creates futures which become
presents. That is the motion, the movement, the progression of life in which we have
titled as time. But time is the death of ideas, desires, dreams, seconds, day's,
movements, organisms, planets, stars, and so forth. All deaths cause the progression of
life and the illusion of time.
The Western culture tends to treat death as a terrible thing, a process that one should
fear and weep about when someone they know falls victim to its abyss. If we can see
that our reaction to death confuses the meaning of it, then we can begin to try to
assimilate in the experience and obtain somewhat of an understanding of what dying
is, rather than just treating death as a part of life that we should ignore. We can learn a
lot by turning our attention to what we ignore, for it is there that information yet to be
seized by the human mind lingers, waiting to be obtained and understood.
Dreaming
No one knows the truth as to why we dream, we only have our theories. Dreaming has
shown its magnificence in the evidence of precognitive dreams, deep insight, therapy
by relieving oneself of reality and many more reasons. Dreaming is weird, but most of
us dream every night without really questioning why we do and what dreams are. Do
we dream for the reason of reminding ourselves that there is more to living in our
usual reality, sort of a way to relinquish the mundanity of modern life and provide
sanity by removing your mind from the insanity of reality? Are dreams actual realities
as real as this one, in which we create and experience briefly? I do not see the
difference between a dream and this reality; both are of the mind, both are dreamlike,
both exist relevant to their source of waking and sleeping, living and dying. I believe
dreaming of being a necessity when we treat reality and life as something trivial. We
53
tend to do as such so often, trivialising life which causes us to lose our imagination,
creativity, an important ability to have to feel human. Dreams remind us that all there
is to your existence is not just this, that there are worlds to create, places to see,
feelings to have, people to be - all within your mind. It gives us clarity, relief, and
interest to continue living.
Quite some time ago, I had this strange dream that to me was so significant; I decided
to write down what occurred shortly after I had woken up that following morning. It
began with me being situated within a theatre amongst hundreds of other people,
where we had all gathered eagerly for some event that evening. While we were
waiting for this event to begin - out of nowhere this gruesome looking, blood dripping,
moonlit coloured, eight feet tall wolf emerged from wherever depths of wickedness it
crawled out from. Immediately, everyone began screaming and crying, trying to run
away from this beast as the entire environment lit up with fear, absolute sheer terror.
Curiously, however, it seemed as though the fear empowered and attracted the wolf,
for it was killing numerous amounts of people by the second. So I took the
opportunity to escape into one of the bathrooms nearby, and hide within one of the
toilet cubicles, repeating to myself, “Do not be afraid, do not be afraid, for fear will
manifest and your world will become it.” As I anxiously hid there listening to the last
scream die off, the door to the entrance of the bathroom was pushed open and in came
the creature, walking directly to my cubicle as if it had known all along as to where I
was. And slowly, it pushed open the door, lowered its head to set its dark - universal
black eyes upon my own as it glared at me, observed me. My own image could be
seen in the reflection of the eyes of the beast, and with enormous courage I stared back
at this monster, observing what its eyes had to show. Although, in doing so, seeing
myself in the reflection of its eyes let a small amount of doubt, fear creep into my
mind. So in that instance, the wolf reacted and opened its mouth to lock its jaw over
my hand with immense pressure. However, I was able to regain my composure and
54
relieve myself of any fear that was felt, and with my eyes open staring, the wolf
decided to let go of my hand. And it was at that moment, that the wolf transformed. It
became amazingly beautiful to look at, and next to it, two giant godly figures appeared
by its side, one male and one female, but they stood in silence, neither spoke a word to
me. After spending some time admiring the divinity of the wolf's appearance, I
decided to say to the godly woman, beautiful, isn't it? To which she replied yes, yes it
is, and I woke up.
After I had pondered about this for some time, I came to an interesting idea. I
questioned if the wolf in my dream represented life. That if you are afraid of life, it
will devour and consume you, but the moment you become fearless, life will
transform into utter beauty. You will feel somewhat care-free, and the world you
perceive around you becomes gorgeous. You see, we are all going to die, each and
every one of us, but true death is not taking the apparent long sleep into the
unknowing of presumed nothingness, true death is avoiding life out of fear, for one is
not alive if they are hiding from life. So as the wolf represented life in my dreams, the
event at the beginning in which we had all gathered for I believed represented the birth
of our existence. At first, we were all excited and happy up until we became
self-conscious through the reflection of ourselves in the eyes of the wolf, and thus
self-doubt and fear were born. And in such a society, we delude ourselves into trying
to become the ideal person by rejecting our true self and fearing the public opinions of
others. However, you'll soon realise that this ideal self is impossible to become and
because you reject who you are naturally, you become lost - avoiding social situations
and hiding from life thus never living at all; causing life to become ugly. But for those
who have courage, who accept themselves and face life with a smile, will live a
wonderful life. They will see life for what it really is, which is breathtakingly
gorgeous. As to who or what the male and female figures represented in the dream, I
55
am unsure; I can only assume they represented creation, the implying of opposites to
create wholes.
We live in this reality where our dreams are such an importance to its functionality,
that it is so obvious that we must treat them with respect and intelligence, for
dreaming may play a huge part in our existence and the existence of this world that we
have created. The universe is dreaming, and like being in a dream, anything is
possible.
Real Futures
Is it possible for a future ahead of this present moment to exist? I often wonder if a
timeline present in our universe or not, related to our time as a sort of probable, if not
definite destiny exists for us. More paradoxes arise if we bring in the question of
travelling time, so when I write about the future, I will exclude time travel and rather
focus strictly on the possibility of premade destinies. If there is a determined outcome
for each and every one of us - an already made future that will become present, then
wouldn't that make the unknown illusory? The reason being that it will force things
like thinking and questioning to become futile, of no use for we would have no need,
considering our path has already been paved. Unless all possible futures do exist, here
in this universe or others, and we have a probability of becoming one of these futures
56
dependent upon our choices and actions. In other words, relevant to this time, a known
future reacts to what happens here, like co-existing with one another, and the future is
as real as our reality. If this is true, we still have freedom of choice but also have a
destiny that exists now. For the futures we have avoided, such as the fall of Rome
never happening or Hitler being victorious, they still exist sometime, somewhere, out
there. Our present realities are split either infinitely or for every dramatic change that
influences the future significantly, to the point that it can't recover back to the path of
the probable future it was on. What this means is that you are alive in other realities,
worlds, timelines and universes. This proposes the question if our mind can sometimes
communicate with ourselves from another future when we have a bad feeling about
something - responding from intuition or "naturally" desiring to do something. For
maybe we experience these other realities/futures when we tap into our minds and
witness them through the use of dreaming.
Not too long ago I was overwhelmed by a rushing loving feeling coming from an
unknown source. I live quite a lonely life, so it is possible that I had such a feeling as a
psychological reaction to an environment of loneliness, causing me to produce a sense
of comfort to help deal with my predicament. However, I see no reason as to why it
would not be reasonable enough to think that the feeling came from elsewhere. I tried
my best to dissect and understand the moment by writing it down.
“I see now what she shows me. There is this peculiar energy that drifts through time to
haunt my presence. It is a powerful source of love that is not found in this
time-stream, but rather love that wanders back from a reality that exists, but yet to
happen. A reality where my eyes stare at this source of love, this energy in which I
have titled as 'her;’ for it has a radiant feminine touch, yet contradictory, a dominant
vibe. It breaks the laws of time and contacts me in this timeline where I am captured
57
in awe and inspired to find her. My future love that I am yet to meet of whom I have a
connection with that is so strong; her presence flows back in time to reach me here.
And it is here that I am dreaded with immense solitude. An inability to communicate
with my fellow man for my cognitive is foreign in a world such as ours, so I live in
my own bubble in which is occasionally penetrated by the transmission of her touch,
her energy, her presence. It is here right now as I write this. My hand moves with an
extra guidance almost as if she sits with me sometime - somewhere in the future. With
her hand placed over mine so I write not what my mind tells me to, but rather what
love guides me to. Causing time to be broken and providing me with the ability to
draw from a source from the future and write here. And with knowing that I feel
loved, saved, and alive. Alive now with what she shows me.”
To imagine the possibility that there are infinite past, present and future realities
existing with you living in each and every one of them is baffling. That is exactly
what it should be; existence is undoubtedly strange. It is incredibly weird that
anything even exists in the first place and so the only healthy response to life that I can
think of is a small smile.
My Dog Is God
Her four little paws that create her journey, ears that convert the vibrations of sound
waves into noise, her earthly brown eyes that evoke a world only known to her. She
roams this planet exuding love to everyone that crosses her path. She belongs to no
one, no culture, no society, no nation, no religion. She is a free spirit, and I think that's
why I love her. In Christianity and other monotheistic religions, the word God means
creator and source of the universe, and I do not see how this word and definition does
58
not apply to everything and everyone. From dust mites to humans, to trees and dogs
and so forth. We are all creators. We create new cells, energy, ideas, thoughts, beliefs,
patterns, lifestyles - etc. All of life is always creating, causing there to be such thing as
existence, exactly what "God" does. We, along with everyone and everything else are
God, it, the universe, whatever you wish to call the source of life. To believe in a
supreme being separate from you as the creator is to completely forget that the idea,
concept, image, belief and thought comes from your mind. You create God.
The popular idea of God only exists to man, for man has created God. However,
people still place themselves as lesser to someone or something else. We already have
to deal with that nonsense in the workforce. That causes the infection of the illusory of
separateness from others and your environment; a feeling of being someone who is
pushed around by life. But how can this be when you are life? You are existence, a
living being that entails the work and wonder of what it is to be. A creator of magic
here today expressed in the form that you are currently taking; magnificently beautiful
and divine with the power to create like a God. That goes for all species, all beings, all
of life is in a dance of creation. So when I see my four legged friend, I see the
universe, life, myself; expressed in a form known to man through English as dog.
59
opinions and beliefs and therefore you have formulated a perspective on life that is not
truly yours. You've created an identity of whom you refer to as Jessica Louise, Bryan
Carter, Ashley Taylor. You say you're American, British, Spanish and believe that this
is right, that this is wrong, as you're sanctioned by your culture and conditioned to
perceive and experience reality with a pre-programmed mind; causing you to naturally
distort reality to what your illusory identify accepts as truth and real. Furthermore, the
consequences are that you are left with an entire species deluded by their own illusion,
leading to the invention of wars based on illusory differences that cause deaths by the
millions. The invention of nations, races, religions, cultures, and this deepens further
to your occupation, gender, location, fashion and generation. We attach words and
meanings to the complexity of energy and vibrations in which we call life, and
completely forget that in doing so, our reality has become nothing more but what we
say. See, you are deciding what is right or wrong, important or not important, real or
not, and in most cases you're a spokesperson for your culture which has taken you in,
brainwashed you, and fed you these opinions for its needs - to suit what it desires
reality to be. And if you wish to find pride in your culture, race, religion, nationality,
generation, gender, occupation, and so forth, then you are defining yourself as a
separate being from the rest of humanity and all of life. You're not even connected to
someone of your culture for you may have a different occupation, be of the opposite
gender, born in a different generation, have a different nationality, etc. These illusory
identities, concepts that have been drilled into our minds since we became receptive
human beings are disempowering, degrading, dehumanising to the point that we
behave like programmed machines serving a system, a country. Like slaves desiring to
be told who they are and what life is, we give our minds over to others to be abused,
manipulated and controlled, so we perceive life to how they say it is, how you're now
saying it is.
60
We are addicted to allowing ourselves to be labelled with lies by obtaining answers
from our society and culture to questions like, Who am I? Why am I here? Am I one
of them? And where am I going? People are searching endlessly for the answers to
these questions. They begin by accepting a vast amount of identity defining
ideologies, such as joining a religion, having a nationality, supporting a political
movement or what have you. Hoping that they'll find out one day who they really are,
but no matter how hard they try, they're never satisfied. A complete feeling of
emptiness is all they ever find. But the desire to discover themselves and be able to
define who they are and where they stand is too immense, so they keep looking and
looking. That results in the adding of all different sorts of boundaries and limitations
along the way, causing their magical divine light of their inner star to fade as they
travel further and further into this journey of who am I. For the more they delve into
this identity defining game, the more they stray away from their true self. Many will
ride this train of self-discovery into death, and death will finally grant them the
opportunity to understand everything about life. Others have found the answer through
love, for love provides you with the insight to see yourself in someone else and realise
who you are and what you are.
Too many people feel that they are a stranger, alone and afraid in a world they never
made; lost within a reality where they do not belong nor feel welcomed. That causes
one to become depressed and anxious, as they begin to believe their quest for
fulfilment by knowing who they truly are is hopeless and pointless, so they give up
and sink into darkness. The search for finding themselves out there stops, and they are
left alone. Left to talk to themselves, to think for themselves, to feel their presence in
this world - to get to know themselves truly. Resulting in them getting back into touch
with the present, and it is there that they begin to look inwards and witness the magic
occur. They start to realise that by looking within, you discover the answers have
always been there. That the reason for their existence, who they are and where they're
61
going is found within. They take off the illusory identity forming shackles given by
their society and culture that was confining their power, their real identity, and they
derail the brainwashing enterprise that has held them down and disempowered their
life; that consumed their divine light to power its own existence. They mentally begin
to tear apart all the limitations and restrictions put upon them ever since they became a
receptive human being. They no longer feel that they are a stranger, alone and afraid
in a world they never made. That illusory world begins to breakdown and falls apart,
and the collapse of that false reality liberates them, frees them completely. I advise
you to disband your religion, nationality, culture, society, and plunge yourself into the
liberating world of love, absolute freedom from the toxic ideologies that have
oppressed and limited humanity's potential since we could speak the words "Who am
I?."
62
theories such as the big bang and any theories religiously related and rather mention
briefly, the theories that are interesting to say the least.
There's an idea that the universe was programmed into existence, and all of life is
coded, implying that we are in some sort of computer simulation. Simulated reality as
it's known by, is the theory of the universe being created as a computer simulation;
that all the beings inside the simulation are not actually real - whatever real means.
What fuels this theory is the thought that, if we can at some time in our future simulate
a universe in some way, then it is only logical to assume that on an infinite timeline -
other species have already created a simulated universe that we may very exist in.
That means that in a sophisticated enough computer-like programmed world, a
simulated species possibly such as ourselves can produce further universal
simulations, resulting in the realisation of the possibility of infinite simulations inside
one another. (Similar to the movie Inception with dreaming inside a dream.) If true,
then we can only assume that there is only one real universe that contains the real
creators of our simulation. I see this theory as intriguing but falls weak in regards to
our ignorance in our personal advancement of technology as a species. We are relating
our current knowledge of technology that can create computer simulations as a model
for the possible creation of the universe. That's like saying you can stop at 51 Pegasi b
exoplanet for some fish and chips. We are so limited to our creations that to use them
as models to explain fundamental questions such as "What created the universe?" is
incredibly naive and pretentious. Computer simulations are strictly 21st-century man
made. Sure, a very minor part of the concept may relate to an exotic alien species
technology, but I can only assume by my logic that it would be vastly different. We as
a species will most likely in the future create a whole new line of technology that will
provide another thought provoking model to use as a representation of the possible
creation of the universe. Computer simulations are for now, let's not get carried away
but rather see what else we can create.
63
Other theories such as the string theory, parallel universe, holographic universe,
eternal inflation and so on, I also wish not to write about for truthfully, I just feel they
are too trivial concerning how commonly known they are for me to want to go into
detail about. Not to discredit their value, I'd just rather theorise on other possibilities,
like the theory of the universe of thought. I have a theory that the universe was
thought of into existence, and continues to be. Our evolution of thinking is by far the
most peculiar for it is the source that entails all of our creations, and it continues to
evolve. The essence of thoughts seems to imply creation, as thinking is the essence of
a creator. How far can we go with the phenomenon of thinking? As we are now,
thinking is restricted to one's own mind but can be extracted through language by
words so that other people can hear what you have to think. The power of the ability
to think attracts me to wonder about its possibilities and what it will become a
thousand years from now if the human race still exists. We can already create planets,
stars, galaxies, and so forth within our minds by thinking about them, imagining them,
and I do not see the difference of realness between that world and this; aside from one
seeming to last longer - the world of thoughts. We always seem to be thinking, which
as a consequence leaves each and every one of us living in a world of thought. And
when we stop to a certain degree, such as through the practice of a form of meditation
- the universe we know no longer exists, life as we know it becomes more of a direct
experience. It becomes tricky when we take into consideration what thinking is, such
as what takes place for a thinker that has no language? Or a living entity that we
humans are unaware as to what it's like to live as such a form, like trees for example.
If the universe is an expansion of thought, brought into existence by thinking, then
what of the living entities such as trees and plants that think in a different way to
humans? Thinking does not necessarily mean to have information stored in the brain
ready to be of use. Information, as proven in multiple life forms, can be stored in
different parts of the body. Take plants for example; a plant can communicate with
64
itself to produce flowers or scents through the use of their cellular, physiological and
environmental states. For this theory, we need not be limited by our knowledge as to
what thinking is and rather be open to question its possibilities. Thoughts themselves
should not just be defined in regards to thinking with language, for occasionally I have
odd feelings about certain situations that do not come from my stored knowledge, but
rather naturally develop from other sources such as instinctual nature, and I define
those as thoughts as well. In other words, I associate any communication as a form of
thinking which produces thoughts, such as your emotions and feelings. This ties in
beautifully with language making up our reality, for thoughts and thinking seem to be
the blueprints of a house as language implements the building blocks to concretise the
house to make it real and create what we have come to know as our reality, our house.
The universe seems to be an expansion of thought, thinking spawned forth from either
an unknown source, like a type of creator; or a different reason in which we are yet to
evolve thinking and language far enough to realise such a possibility or idea.
What Is Real?
The apex of weirdness is found when we turn our attention to focus our minds on what
is real, whatever that means. Honestly, what is real? To define it, we usually try to put
realness in relation with what we tend to define as unreal. Unreal to the average
person would consist of examples like dreams, imagination, hallucinations and magic.
Real is defined as actually existing as a thing or occurring in fact; not imagined or
supposed. I do not see how that helps us obtain a clearer understanding as to what is
real; considering what we are commonly defining as unreal holds as much importance
and value in comparison to what we are defining as real. I wrote about this earlier; the
imagination is the foundation of our reality - to dismiss it as unreal is to dismiss reality
as unreal simultaneously. Our senses do not provide any help either to prove the
difference between unreal and real, just think about visual ‘illusions’ as evidence of
our senses unreliability. We seem to be living in a reality where real is only
65
determined by the majority, and once you take a step outside, you realise that the
realness of that reality is as illusory as your dreams, imagination, hallucinations and
magic. Or, if you prefer, as real as your dreams, imagination, hallucinations and
magic. Real and illusory seem to be synonyms for one another, and the true meaning
of both words is "experience as we know it." It is too complex to distinguish between
the two, to say that one holds more truth than the other. The illusory nature of
dreaming, and the realness of waking up - to me are the same. I die in my dreams, feel
love as well as fear, cry and laugh, succeed and fail, the only thing that we seem to
favour in regards to defining what is real is the consistency. The consistency of your
usual routine of waking up, eating, going to work, coming home and repeat. This is
what our minds latch on to; we favour what is consistent to help us define what is real
to form our reality. Meaning, if you are always investing your time and mind
believing in the rules, stories and teachings of the Bible, then the Bible and all of its
information becomes real to you, but illusory to a person who does not invest their
mind in such an area. What we also collectively as a species believe to be real is
heavily influential on our reality. Real as we know it implies the collective
consistency of humanity's current experiences. The internet once upon a time was
never real, if even thought of or imagined, people would consider it impossible. Now
it's real for it is commonly known, used and understood. Don't you realise just based
off this one example that anything is possible? Life is not just this. Too many of us get
captured by the repetitiveness of each day that we forget about what an incredible
magical world we live in. This results in what we currently are guilty of, seeing the
unreal as impossible and fundamentally different from what we have come to know as
real.
66
most incredible worlds ever to take place on this planet in my opinion, and possibly in
this solar system. I wonder then, if the universe favours us, for we provide
extraordinary experiences that no other species that we know of even comes close to
delivering. What I mean by being favoured by the universe is that we and our
problems, chaos, destructive nature that is present to this day, is being overlooked and
waived by the universe or the source or aliens or God or what have you. For the
reason that we are too much of an attractive and addictive species to allow us to fall
and become extinct. How is it that humankind continues to survive to this day? When
you put our entire history in consideration and the probability of a species with
ancestors that are believed to be over a million years old, and you also consider the
number of deadly events and situations that were and still are present; the fact that we
are still thriving is remarkable. There was a report by The Stern Review on the
economics of climate change that assumed a 0.1 percent chance of a human extinction
every year. However, over the course of only 100 hundred years, that's a 9.5 percent
chance of a human extinction. How the human species is not extinct is a strange and
peculiar mystery. Extinctions are almost like a musician finishing singing and then
re-writing a new song for the reason of novelty. We know that the apex species
impedes the evolution of others that exist in the same environment, or for new species
to exist, which is why I am curious to know whether evolution is intelligent with
specifics desires. If there is a larger force at play with the existence of life in our
universe, call it what you will, then I am inclined to believe that humans must be
bringing something to the table that is too intriguing to throw away into the cosmic
trash. That is not to say that we are invulnerable to the crushing waves of catastrophic
events because we are smiled upon by an ultimate force(s), there may very well be
limits that are dangerous to push and dance with. If you look at the modern world, we
are possibly now realising those limits.
67
Leaving The Physical Domain
Our physicality is immensely lagging behind our intellectual advancement, thus
forcing negative situations to occur in the physical domain. A species that is still
physically animalistic, but mentally godly (ability to create whatever we imagine and
the ability to imagine) causes the physical domain to take a lot of damage from the too
strong of effects from the mental domain. As we can see in our case, our technological
advancements and our creations are destroying this dimension for they shouldn't exist
here, due to allowing us to populate and clubber up the planet with materialistic stuff
rapidly. Physically in relation to our intelligence, we should be able to disembark from
matter by now, but it is being prevented because of the foolishness of the ego.
Transitioning from matter and into the realm that awaits beyond, whatever it may be,
is a good solution to solving all of our problems. The mess humans have created and
will continue to create can be sanitary and salubrious if we figure out how to take the
next evolutionary step. Virtual realities, computer simulations, the internet itself, are
all great contributions to achieving this outcome for humans. It is not preposterous to
think of what life would be like living outside of matter, all you must do is think about
where you are when you solely and utterly indulge your mind into a video game, or a
movie, or psychedelic drugs, or even love. Matter is of no use in such states. To a
certain degree, you remove yourself from the awareness of your physical domain and
enter a realm of the mind; all else is non-existent. Collectively how we can do this, I
am unsure, but I do honestly believe it to be a destination that we will inevitably arrive
to. The question that remains though is - can we take this step before we run out of
time?
68
SECTION III
Change Our Ways
Or Die
Of all the species that have existed on planet earth, 99.9 percent are extinct. It is no
hidden truth that death will collectively come for us one day, that the human race will
finish and we will take the voyage, the path that an estimated five billion species have
taken before us towards the darkness of what lies beyond what we have come to know
as life. But that does not have to be so soon. Humanity poses something that no other
species has even come close to acquiring. We have taken an intellectually godly step,
providing us with a brain that can terraform an entire planet to reflect the world we
collectively imagine, and to some extent, we can even choose our fate. So why are we
deliberately choosing to rush towards entering the long night of our eternal grave?
69
Eastern and Western Perception
The human world we currently live in seems to be somewhat split. Governed by two
minds created by the culture of individuals of the East and West. Consequently, a
significant differentiation of perception on the totality of life has been projected into
existence. Modern cultural anthropology and scientific research have provided
evidence that someone who is born in the West will most likely view life entirely
different from that of the person born in the East due to culture, and yet live side by
side. Reasons for this are quite intriguing for one to invest their minds into, for
assimilating in the opposing mind of your region can bring about a completion of
yourself, a deeper understanding of who you are, especially if you are from the West
and are yet to study the self-developing philosophies and teachings of the East. The
major differences between the two can be found in a lot of areas such as the
advancement and fascination in fields of interests - from governmental desires like
power and control to individual wishes for possessions of material and the
aggrandizing of ego; there are clearly vast differences that distinguish an Eastern mind
from a Western. Advanced brain research being conducted recently using the latest
technology is providing information that proves culture plays a dramatic role in
influencing one's perception of life. What has been discovered is that someone of the
West tends to see themselves as independent from everything else, like they are cut off
from the world, rather than being a part of it. Interestingly, when presented with a
picture test where Western cultured people had to observe an image, the majority of
participants were naturally attracted to focus on central objects within the image,
obtaining more information about one detail rather than the entire image. Sort of a
reflection on how Westerners tend to favour individualism. On the contrary, the
Eastern culture encourages interdependence, unity with one's surroundings, and being
70
culturalised in the East results in having your perception altered so that you are more
likely to lose information on minor details, but can take in more information. That was
proven by most Eastern cultured people observing the entire image during the test,
rather than just centralising on specific detail. So, for example, let's suppose I were to
present you with a picture of the inside of a shopping centre where there is a lot of
activity taking place. According to the findings of this research, if you are Western
cultured, you will most likely concentrate on particular detail about the image, like
studying the lady with the green handbag. You'll focus on specific minor details yet
miss out on the amount of diversity due to not looking at the complete picture. If
you're Eastern cultured however, you will take in the whole picture, notice a lot of
people gathered, yet not see the minor independent details like the lady with the green
handbag. That is just one simple example of distinguishing the two perceptions that
are predominantly influencing this world. Where it becomes of an importance is when
one culture is negatively affecting the other, and that is what is currently happening in
the modern world.
The fundamental variance between East and West in my opinion, would be that a
Western person tends to look at the world as something external from themselves, and
therefore treats it that way. Whereas someone of the East spends more time looking
internally and experiences the world as something of themselves. What is being
implied is that two worlds concurrently existing on the same planet are reflective of
the beings that occupy them. So evidently in the West, the environment resembles
tenants that feel separated from their surroundings, resulting in what is seen today in
the characteristics of the average Western person where they consume a significant
amount - pollute without care - strip and destroy nature to create goods and so forth.
All without realising that they are ultimately destroying themselves. The lack of
progression of someone studying who they are can lead to multiple issues that are
contributors to anxiety, depression, suicidal thoughts and disinterest in the expansion
71
of consciousness. Reason being is due to the fear of exploring what has been ignored,
and when the ignored surfaces, the ill-disciplined due to always running - decide to
hide. And a form of hiding that has become a cultural norm here in the West is to fulfil
one's time with intoxications that take oneself away from who they truly are. People
resort to intoxicating themselves on all sorts of different mind stimulating activities
like shopping, drinking alcohol, watching movies, scrolling through social media,
going out to clubs, reading books, and so forth. Anything that will allow them to
escape from who they are. They engage in activities that consist of the continuous
exploration of the external world. Chasing money, status, power, objects, knowledge
and what not. People of the West long for what is outside of them, running from the
grasping hands of their inner selves which always leads to an intense game of cat and
mouse that evidently is resulting in the destruction of our world. The conclusion to
this is collectively dying as a species without knowing how beautifully divine we all
are. That is the terrible mess haunting the soul found within the West.
In the East, however, the same amount of chaos takes place, but rather internally.
They tear apart their identities, dissect and explore what lies within. Consequently,
discovering untold truths as great of value as what Western science has found about
the external world. They view their birth like a plant growing out of the soil and
therefore believe that they are not just a plant that has been dropped into the planet to
exist, but that they are the plant, the soil, the earth, along with everyone and
everything else - the universe itself. What this psychologically does to someone who
views the world in such a way, is formulate a persona that seeks unity rather than
independence, something foreign to the Western world. An Eastern mind is not
worried about the accumulation of material wealth, and the aggrandizing of their ego,
but rather focused on the enlightenment of their spirit, and the health status of their
environment. Someone who seeks liberation from the daily stresses of life should turn
to the guidance of the teachings from the East, for there lies information that will lead
72
you on a self-discovery journey like no other. Unfortunately, because of the sheer
dominance and power that Western civilisation exudes and inhabits, the world we live
in is being out balanced by the control that the West inflicts on our beautiful blue orb.
The equilibrium of our planet has been destroyed by the conquering influences of the
West. This is predominantly due to political reasoning, which is obviously quite
shallow. The manipulation and infection of the thought process of a Western mind is
now heavily weighing on the minds of the young in Eastern cultures. Inevitably
leading to a world where the majority of humans are characterised by and express
qualities of the West. The consequences of that are unbelievably dangerous for any
pro-life being. To live in a world where the apex species consists of beings that are
self-driven, egotistical, selfishly destructive of their environment by their fascination
of blowing each other up with the complexity of energy to produce explosions, would
be completely odious for any life form that co-exists with them. Quite apparent and
relevant to the present world we live in.
It is interesting that historically speaking, Western science has always been extremely
attracted and intrigued by energy. For thousands of years, Westerners persisted with
understanding energy for what it is and how it can be used. This has evidently led to
incredible inventions that rival the creative spark of a God. Creations like igniting the
fire that burns ragingly in the hearts of the stars through the clashing of atoms and
producing thermonuclear explosions to display the conquering power of man.
Meanwhile, the Eastern mind decided to go about focusing on the essence of time. But
did not use the tools that Westerners held close to their hearts like science,
mathematics, astronomy, telescopic instruments used to observe the physical domain -
no. The Eastern teachers resorted to self-examining spiritual tools such as meditation,
yoga and deep thinking, distilling the art of life by studying the natural movement of
trees waving in the wind and looking within themselves. What was discovered by
Easterners is that time is illusory. That only the present, now exist for all of eternity.
73
And realising this, along with all of their other discovers they acquired figuratively the
energy that Westerners produced equivalent to the distant stars, enlightenment. The
difference being the sources that the two minds drew from to produce an amount of
energy that primarily causes the same effect. Destruction and creation. Enlightenment
is the destruction of one's ego and the birth of feeling absolute completion with
existence. How astonishing to realise that two planet dominating collective minds
co-existing together during the same period took different paths throughout their
history. Both discovering vital information and untold knowledge about life by
approaching existence with various instruments and tools. What that means to me, is
that the world shares an over-mind. Like the human brain being split into two main
parts of left and right. Left being the side that deals with solving tasks with logic, like
science and mathematics, and right being the side that performs tasks that have to do
with creativity and art. The mind of the human world is split into two, Western and
Eastern. Western clearly being the side that is dealing with life as a scientific and
mathematical equation that must be solved with logic. The Eastern side is, therefore,
dealing with life by approaching it artistically, spiritually by advancement in
self-understanding and development. For to be an artist, one must first delve inwards
to extract themselves and express their feelings through their chosen craft. If this is so,
that the world is shared by an overmind, then we know the importance that balance
has, to not have one stronger than the other. For if there is a more dominant side that
pushes the other away, we are faced with a situation of confusion, of being lost.
Climate Change
We are approaching a time in history where the effects of humanity have reached a
boiling point, causing this planet to be no longer in a position to sustain such a system.
We have and still are severely damaging our home. The use of fossil fuels is emitting
an overwhelming amount of carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases, along with
74
deforestation contributing to the production of even more carbon dioxide, resulting in
the warming of our atmosphere which is melting the polar caps causing an enormous
change in ecosystems and weather patterns. This isn't just a matter of the change of the
environment which will be negative towards humans, but the counter fight against
climate change which will negatively affect the living and yet to be born as well. The
switch from obtaining our energy from burning fossil fuels to solar power or what
have you, isn't swift and easy. Millions upon millions of people will lose their jobs;
the economy will take bullet shots, lifestyles of the majority will become foreign,
business as usual will become impossible, the psychology of many is an obstacle on
its own, yet what other choice do we have? We have no other option but to implement
these changes and evolve out of the primitive war stance we take against mother
nature as a way to survive and continue the lineage of the human race. The problem
does not lie within the alarming rate of overpopulation, but rather in the immense
consumption which is, unfortunately, an unhealthy quality found predominantly in
Western culture. That is what worries me the most. The fact that we can create the
technology to harness solar energy is all well and great, but the notion that this toxic
culture will need to go under a radical change if it wishes to save the human race and
other species will result in leaving a huge hole in the process. Think of the companies,
business’s, products, transportation vehicles - lifestyles that will become obsolete, and
how many millions of people that will affect significantly; the amount of trash that
will accumulate will be outrageous.
There was a saint in India who lived to around 1930. Ram Dass, an American spiritual
teacher spoke to a devotee of the saint who told him that one night, the saint was
looking out towards the stars and told his devotee, "There will come a time where you
will walk five miles and sight the light from a fire of another person, and you will be
so delighted and happy to know another person exists."
75
I do not mean to be pro-apocalypse or seem self-righteous, but when I am in the
presence of the averagely stubborn, closed minded individual who has sold themselves
to their culture, money, poor diet, and has become an ambassador of consumer mania,
I struggle to see how millions of these type of people can transition from a life of
luxury to living a minimalist life in a healthy and loving manner. Add in one's
religious views, race views, political views, etc. And we have one gigantic mess on
our plate. Too many of us have fallen ill, infected by the disease of consumer mania,
causing us to be in a situation where the toxic nature of the least is negatively
impacting most beings on this planet. I am not confident that your social status,
materialistic desires and ignorance should be a good enough reason to allow the
polluting of our environment, the destroying of our planet, and chaos of poverty to
exist still. The need to prevent further global warming is a necessity, but can we
change our ways fast enough without causing the chaos that seems to be inevitable is
the question that needs to be addressed. The number of climate change related
incidents have increased four-fold between 1980 and 2010; the facts are alarming.
Since 2015, according to World Food Program, it is assumed that nearly 375 million
people per year are negatively affected by climate change disasters. Although
Americans make up only 4 percent of the world's population, they produce 25 percent
of the carbon dioxide pollution from fossil-fuel burning, the largest share of any
country. Today, there is more carbon dioxide in the atmosphere than at any point in
the last 800,000 years. To any logical, loving, pro-life intellectual, this is a problem
that must be approached and fixed. But as I stated earlier, too many humans have
fallen ill to stubbornness, ignorance, dominance, stupidity, selfishness,
close-mindedness, obnoxious pride, greed and so forth. Climate change is an issue on
its own. The greatest problem, however, is changing the mind of the average person
who is sentencing this planet and all of its inhabitants to death, because they worship
their Chucky Cheese - fast food meals - unhealthy intoxications - environmentally
unfriendly vehicles, egotistical characteristics that are repulsive as they are
76
destructive. We have to help nature, return to its loving embrace or face the deadly
consequences.
Nature's Identity
Humankind for some reason has decided that nature is not a part of him or her, but
rather a separate world in which we must conquer and control so that we can live. This
notion that we are separate from the world of plants, animals, the landscape, and other
features and products of the earth is absolutely ludicrous. Being a human implies
being everything that you experience, for it takes your existence for there be anything
to experience. For example, take what Alan Watts once said;
"The relationship between the organism and the environment is transactional. The
organism creates the environment, and in turn, the environment creates the organism.
The organism turns the sun into light, but it requires an environment containing a sun
for there to be an organism at all, and the answer to it is simply they're all one
process."
We have lost connection to our roots, our true home. Nature is unfortunately seen by
the mass of humanity as an unintelligent, unimportant - door step to wipe our bloody
feet on, as we continue to trek towards madness. Humankind is a part of nature; we
are nature. Connected to what it is and this planet itself, if we destroy nature, we
automatically destroy ourselves. To any person who wishes to survive and enjoy life
must then realise the importance of their impact on nature. If we continue to kill other
beings, rape our land, harm one another, then we are inevitably doing nothing but just
77
negatively affecting ourselves. Therefore, one must see that their place in life is not
the occupation that they have, or the identity they portray, but rather a much greater
role. The truth to the birth of humanity's entrance into existence as we know it lies
within what we have put down for so long, nature.
78
The Contradictory Nature of
Meat-Eaters
We share this beautiful planet with other beings that have just as much right to exist
freely as what the average American demands. It has been estimated that in all the
wars and genocides in recorded history, a total of 619 million humans have been
killed. 619 million animals are murdered every five days for “food.” And that is
excluding animals that live in water. This is sickening of any person who claims to be
pro-life yet contributes to purchasing and consuming meat. The logic to it makes no
sense at all. If you are someone who could not go outside and murder a pig with your
bare hands for bacon because you’d find it morally wrong, yet are happy to go to the
supermarket to purchase bacon, then you are a clearly self-contradictory. If you are
someone that disproves of racism and becomes irritated at the appalling treatment of
people who are seen as lesser than others, yet are happy to contribute to buying animal
products because you see them as lesser beings than you, you have self-contradictory
values. If you are someone who is neither of these two but rather a person who can kill
an animal for food, clothing or entertainment, yet would find murdering a human in
the act of cannibalism wrong, you are self-contradictory. This list can go on for quite
some time. I have honestly lost my ability to understand people who claim to pro-life
for only certain species. This is an intelligence test. An intelligent person does not
allow ignorance to be the excuse to their anti-life characteristics. An intelligent person
is aware of their anti-life characteristics, and either changes them or comes forth
comfortably and honestly as a person of murder. There is no in between. If you love
dogs yet you’re able to murder a fly, you are illogical, probably basing your love only
towards specific beings in regards to your culture, which entails and implies delusion.
A deluded person would be someone who uses their culture as a reality guide and
therefore filters their compassion towards specific areas in life in which their culture
deems worthy.
79
The continuation of blatant stupidity that is costing the lives of millions and millions
of beings on our planet weekly is immensely odious and saddening. We know that
meat is not necessary for the human diet, that it is obvious really for anyone who
actually enjoys educating themselves. For most plants and trees that grow vegetables,
fruits and nuts, are there to be eaten. Because in return, it helps grow the plant or tree
as well as spread its seeds through the organisms excrete. To me, it clearly seems like
a symbiotic relationship that is deep rooted in human history. To abandon it is like
leaving any long-term relationship; it results in confusion, emptiness, and a feeling of
being lost. That pretty much sums up modern humanity; confused, empty and lost.
This is what makes the notion of illegal plants, but the legalisation of the consumption
of meat laughable. How can we take our rules and laws seriously when they lead us
astray, down a path to becoming robots that want to see this planet go through hell. In
the food industry alone, what happens at slaughterhouses to produce the meals that
many Western families put on their dinner tables each night is inhumane. The majority
of animals slaughtered have their throats cut open with a knife as a way to have them
bleed out. For this to happen, the animals are meant to be stunned so that they are
unconscious before the slaughter. The three main methods to achieve this are captive
bolt stunning, electrical stunning and gas chamber. Of course, however, a high amount
of animals are slaughtered every day, so to have to go through the process of making
each and every animal unconscious, it is just not possible, meaning that many animals
have their throats slit while they are conscious. Regardless of whether the being is
conscious or not, to take a life form and put it through the sickening suffering that
they go through so that humans can have a plate full of meat is plain evil. There is no
excuse for it. Worldwide, about 70 billion farm animals are now reared for food each
year. We have to come to a halt and change our ways if we wish to define ourselves as
an intelligent, sane and loving species.
I am curious to know as to why people do not wish to change from eating meat to
being vegan or at least vegetarian. I have come up with two possible explanations.
Either one, they are unaware of the situation of the meat industry and cruelty that
takes place, yet to educate themselves on the unhealthiness of eating meat and are
cultured to believe the food their eating is necessary for their well-being. Or two, they
are simply anti-life in my opinion and have no compassion for other beings, thus
disinterested and reluctant to change their habits. This becomes mind boggling and
leaves me puzzled when a meat eater claims to love animals, has a pet they love dearly
and is emotionally impacted when they hear a story or watch a video about an animal
80
that is suffering. This is clear selective love. People like that scare me, for they are
representatives of the very lifestyles that are murdering this planet. Yes, I do agree it is
subjective, that if you are someone that can hunt and kill animals for food and believe
it is correct, then I do not have a voice in your ear. I am just a mind that views your
habits unhealthy for life, as you view mine the same. But it is the self-contradictory,
hypocritical nature of so many that are disturbing. For those characteristics evident in
the serious situation of animal cruelty relates to the same features that are evident in
climate change, poverty, sexism, racism, speciesism, etc. The traits of ignorance,
contradiction, hypocrisy, stubbornness and so on. So when I am exposed to one area
such as animal cruelty, I am exposed to the same psychology and pattern of
characteristics that are found in all other dangerous situations that the human race is
currently dealing with.
“There are plenty of other beings who roam this planet with us. They do not speak our
language, understand our interests, share our knowledge and intellectual capabilities;
But they feel and experience life just as much as we do. So show them love, not hate.
Look after their environment, just as you would like someone to look after yours. And
treat them with the courtesy and respect they deserve; which does not include the
raping of their homes to construct lifeless structures, nor does it include the inhumane
killings for unnecessary reasons such as "I like the taste of meat." Intelligence has no
relationship to violent characteristics”
Speciesism
Speciesism is the discrimination of other species based on a hierarchy that values
humanity as superior. The notion of this is incredibly pretentious for one to take, for
who are we to dictate the worth of a particular species? It is even found on the level of
those who believe they are at the apex of being pro-life when it comes to food by
defining themselves as a vegan, but yet view plants as lesser than animals and are
happy to consume them. Their reasoning shares some similarities to that of the people
who consume animals, for both parties degrade the form of life into the food they
consume based on their personal morals and thoughts. Most meat eaters usually will
propose the question to vegans out of a defensive effort to change the dynamics of the
81
argument by saying "But plants have feelings too!" And vegans will use apparent
scientific knowledge to explain a plant's lack of complex nervous system as a good
enough reason to justify why they should be eaten and not animals as a counter
argument. Hence the pretentious and evidently clear ignorance found in such a
statement. Using "scientific knowledge" and applying it to the value of a species to
explain why they should be eaten? How can we possibly even begin to understand the
experience that of which a species, particularly plants, are undergoing as a living
form? We are walled off from knowing exactly what it is that another species, let
alone another person is experiencing. And to say to someone who eats meat that they
are cruel because they genuinely see animals as a source of food due to their belief
that animals lack the complexity a human possesses is exactly a vegans view of the
difference between an animal and a plant. A plant apparently lacks the complexity an
animal has. What I am trying to do here is expose the ignorance, so that one can
become more consciously aware of the decisions that they make. As I stated earlier, if
you are someone who can kill and eat an animal for the reason that you simply enjoy
it, then I have no problem, nor with the person who only consumes plants because
they dislike eating meat for the taste or what not. But to run around this planet blindly
destroying it based on unknowingly realising the effect you cause on this planet is
what's destroying us and other life forms. I am not attempting to impose laws and
rules to one's life, but rather attempting to awaken them to think for themselves so that
they aware of their actions and can decide what is right and what is wrong without
being ignorant, hypocritically self-contradictory.
Unhealthy Government
It is believed that Albert Einstein once said,
82
"Insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results."
Exactly the situation currently found in our government. How we continuously elect
leaders that represent not the people but businesses is strange. We the people are
responsible for the foolish representative leaders that do not really care about any one
of us, but are rather instead focused on retaining their jobs by pleasing the majority of
us with lies. Lies that have wasted our time financing illusory wars that have resulted
in the deaths of innocents as well as the unfortunate who bought into their game and
played it as soldiers. All around the world, we elect these people who live a life of
royalty, as we, the majority deal with their ruling by succumbing to behaving like
slaves. How are we free in a system that tells you to live your life serving it? And the
people who run our planet are not progressing us towards the liberation of drudgery,
wars, poverty, misery and so forth. But instead, they are leading us straight towards
those situations. The people who we elect not only lead us, the human race, but all
species living on this planet. For all of our decisions which are handed down by our
governments will affect nearly all beings on this planet, and currently, most are being
affected negatively. The human race has taken somewhat of a parent guardian role for
all species and is the dictator as to what direction we are all to head towards and what
world we are to live in. But unfortunately, our leaders are fearful of doing what is
needed for the living beings on this planet - which is to disband greed, ego, and
materialistic desire. Rather, they are embracing them. You don't need to go far to see
the devastation of deforestation, the oil spills and mining destruction, the removal of
earth's material to produce hateful products such as weapons. Knowledge of these
motives and desires must awaken you to the fact that we are not in the presence of a
loving government, but rather a hateful one.
All of the social and economic systems we have devised such as capitalism,
communism, socialism, fascism, you name it, are failures. To be an advocate of any
83
one of these is to support a failed system in regards to the well-being of all humans.
That should be our goal if we are desire happiness, to create a social and economic
system that is pro-life for each and every individual. Not a system that supports the
minority who are wealthy, or the people who dictate, lead and control. We need to
stop settling for what we believe is good enough, because good enough is causing
deaths by the millions around the world and unhappiness for so many of us. Unity is a
necessity, and urgently must come about, but to do so we all need to take a step out of
our prejudices and beliefs to listen and see each other for who we truly are life. Only
then will we be able to make intelligent decisions that will help the majority, it is how
our governments should be. Politicians should not be there for the aggrandizing of
their wealth, reputation, and status but rather there for the sole purpose of giving each
individual a chance to live a happy life regardless of "who" they are. Whether they're
black, white, Asian, brown, male, female, old young, gay, straight, etc. How many of
us are honestly happy with the decisions our governments make? They represent us
yet when I am in the presence of the average person, his or her views are completely
different to the people who are running their country. It is true that we are lead by the
least among us, the least intelligent, the least noble and the least visionary. I believe
we need to empower the individual by giving back what is rightfully theirs, the planet
we live in, the truth of their existence and who they truly are. Modern governments
wish to strip us naked of these rights and psychologically play mind games to believe
we still have these rights. We do not have the right to elect our leaders; they are
chosen by parties, and we have to choose between two people that represent
essentially the same ideologies. That, therefore, is fascism, hidden and deceptive
under the illusory concept of democracy to ensure the people do not realise how
manipulated and controlled they are. If we are all to realise how used and abused
nearly everyone of us are, there would be an uprising, an urge to dismantle our
governments and take back our lives.
84
Killing Racism
Racism is a trick, a delusion. It is the discrimination, separation and antagonism
directed towards someone of a different race based on the belief that one's own race is
superior. But that can only happen if you define yourself as a race which is creating an
identity that illusory based on human-made concepts. If you wish to define yourself as
an Asian, Caucasian or Black person and so on, you are immensely disempowering
yourself by limiting your reality in regards to your race, history, views, beliefs, etc. To
liberate yourself from racism, you must stop defining yourself as a race! It is that
simple, and why would you want to define yourself as a race anyway? So you can be
given an identity? Separate yourself from others? Everywhere you can find advocates
inspiring you to get in touch with your race and culture; it is not healthy for any
individual. What we need to get in touch with is our core of humanness, where we are
not separated by the illusion of ideas and concepts, but rather connected to love and
truth. Do not get me wrong, when someone is violently physically attacked by people
who believe in race because he or she is to them, "different", we have an issue. But
nevertheless, it is still the same issue of defining yourself as a race. It just does not
work for a species that wants to have a world of unity and love. You have the choice
of who you want to be and see yourself as in this world. Whether that be a black or
white thirty-year-old male or female, who is in the middle class and finds pride to
defend his or her race and cultural beliefs and history by separating himself or herself
from anyone who is deemed outside of this belief system based on physical or
psychological reasons. Or you can define yourself as it, existence, the universe
connected with all beings and all of life itself, unified under the realisation and feeling
of love. It is up to you. Race is illusory; that's factual. It is just not wise to define
yourself as a race and separate yourself from others, for that will cause all sorts of
problems that are evident today with racism. We need to evolve and rise above this
immature game of grouping ourselves and treating outsiders as different, because
whether you are respectful or not to anyone who is not of your race does not matter, it
85
is still an extremely unhealthy approach to take. We need to get rid this outlook on life
if we desire a world of love. Evolve.
Stupidity of Religion
Infecting the minds of millions, brainwashing them with fallacies and controlling
ideas, religion is a problem that must be solved. It takes a healthy individual and
transforms them into a mindless advocate that spreads the nonsense of their religion to
their children, family and friends. Like a virus spreading throughout the human body
infecting cells and replicating, religion has spread throughout the human overmind
resulting in some foolish beliefs thriving off ignorance and the brainwashing of
individuals. There are many religions in the world, so I will prefer to choose one of
the most predominant religions, one that I am most familiar with as well, Christianity.
As a child, I believed in God, for my mother was in the position as a parent to
introduce me to whatever world she wished to, and so God existed to me, along with
Santa and the Easter bunny. As I grew older, around the age of a late teenager,
listening to biblical stories began to seem ridiculous, fairy tales for children to invest
their imaginations into. As a young adult with a free mind to educate myself, the
majority of biblical "facts" have become ludicrous and leave me immensely
dumbfounded that anyone with some intelligence and sort of ability to think for
themselves can believe such lies. Science has killed religion. It is conspicuously
evident in our advancement of archaeology, astronomy, biology, history, pedology,
etc. Our advancement of basic knowledge has contributed as well. For example, we
are told to believe by the Bible in one story that two people put a pair of every animal
on planet earth onto a boat. The average educated person does not don't have to go far
with their rational thinking to realise the impossibility of that. However, this is what
billions of people turn to for their information on life and existence. The hypocrisy
86
and contradictions of the Bible are further evidence of the stubbornness, and deep
brainwashing people have unfortunately succumb to. We have an awareness of
previous religions that have died out and are now seen as lies by most, such as the
Norse religion, but yet modern religious people are still deluded enough to claim their
religion as the truthful one. How laughable does one want to make such a situation?
Have a Muslim, Christian, Buddhist, Hindu, Sikh, Jew, in a room together, and all will
believe that their religion is the only correct one, how unbelievably naive and
ignorant. What about the people that never learn of the Christian God, can they enter
the kingdom of heaven? Or do they wallow in the pits of hell for not believing in a
god they never even heard of? Learning about a certain god is difficult to do when you
put in consideration of the environment you are born into; your race, culture,
education and so on. Take, for example, the millions of people born in poverty that do
not hear one English whispered word such as Jesus Christ. How one can actually take
religion seriously is absurd. We can go on forever listing the fallacies and nonsense of
religion, so I would prefer to take the time to question how and why religion came
about by using Christianity as an example, of the platform. Religion controls, there's
no doubt about that. It restricts one to a particular reality with a set of rules and laws
as well as beliefs which inevitably influences the person that it has infected to
perceive the world through the eyes of a Christian or whatever your bent is. Therefore,
your reality is transformed to reflect the mind controlled by that religion. For example,
if I were to be a Christian, I would find sex before marriage to be wrong, and I would
believe there to be a pair of eyes always watching me, who is my lord saviour, heaven
almighty - God. Therefore, my reality is an experience of being always watched, by
him, my ultimate father. (Notice it's a he, which clearly reflects the reality of that
period of men being dominant and females seen as lesser.) Control is a result of
religion, a necessity in a world of kings, queens and empires, hence why I believe it to
be of importance for religion to be heavily populated during that period. For it
provided a set of ears for kings to listen to the sins of their people and know who may
be conspiring evil that may harm the kingdom. If you wish to control someone
completely, you need to have an eye on them at all times, and religion provides just
87
that. The belief that there is a God watching your every move, judging and
condemning all of your apparent sins, is complete security for the person or people
who created those rules and laws. It is the best method to obtain total control over the
individual. Sort of like a pre-internet phase in the sense of acquiring information on
people. You see, man certainly created the religious God, and in a period where kings
sat paranoid above everyone with their backs to the wall on an overly noticeable chair
to display their dominance and ensure their own security, religion of course thrived
and was embraced by all. Fast forward to today's day and age, our intelligence, as well
as our knowledge and understanding has out-evolved religion. People are free and
intelligent enough to be able to see through the silliness religion adopts, which is why
it will fall eventually. Religion and the notion of God will die, and what a time to be
alive when that happens. I stumble in words and feel lost when someone asks me,
"But Travis, don't you think there would be more crime, more sin?" If religion is the
protector from mass amounts of crime being committed, and you rely on religion to
prevent yourself from committing crimes, then please, never let me take the form of
being a human again. However, we know this is not the case. Love found in the nature
of the human psyche and wherever else this mystery source resides is what we have as
an influence to do good, to help one another. Most religions I am aware of do not
fundamentally advocate love, for love and freedom go together, and that is not found
in a lot of religions - only control and separation. If you're looking for answers to your
existence, I do not think you can acquire them by at the same time giving your mind
away to someone or something else; that seems impossible.
Everyone Is On Drugs
We are all intoxicated on drugs, ingested daily; they affect us by distorting our reality
to perceive and undergo a type of experience. TV is a drug, music is a drug, money,
sugar, fitness, alcohol, painting, fashion, politics, gaming - anything that you invest
88
your mind into will ultimately affect you psychologically, physiologically, and
therefore transform your reality and experience of life. So obviously it is important to
choose your drugs wisely if you have a particular experience that you would like to
have predominantly. Consciousness expanding drugs such as psychedelics have been
made schedule 1 illegal, meaning they are seen to have no medical value and are
dangerous for the user. Experiencing life while expanding your consciousness is not
legally tolerated, smiled upon, or accepted in the Western culture. I am truthfully not
experienced or completely educated on psychedelics, so I will not write much of them,
but any fool can see that what is provided and allowed for our societies can be no
worse than what is proclaimed to be dangerous about psychedelics. We could use
some source that lets these egotistical, stubborn and ignorant minds to be liberated of
such mentality. A shift in the collective human psyche by altering the intoxicants at
the disposal of the average human is greatly needed. We can no longer go on drugging
people with patriotism, dramatised television, beauty standards, useless music about
accumulating money, fancy cars, pointless fashion - the list is endless. These drugs of
life are handed down to the masses and result in shit-brain lifestyles; lifestyles that are
killing our planet, separating the human race and impeding love. How in the world we
use a drug law system that looks at the safety to have a drug legalised, and yet have
alcohol allowed but marijuana not is terribly contradictory and illogical. Drugs to me
are the new form of control, the new religion. People worship their source that
supports their reality and are heavily dependent upon it to function normally. So to
intoxicate the mass on drugs that limit the mind will result in having control to what
reality you wish for them to perceive and experience. Hence why it is important to
ensure your controlled people do not liberate their minds by consuming consciousness
expanding drugs such as psychedelics or philosophy. But rather, they are to continue
consuming trash poured out by mainstream media, addictive - unhealthy substances
like sugar, caffeine, alcohol, tobacco, mind intoxications such as religion, culture,
society, as well as materialistic items, car's, appropriate clothing, etc. And live
lifestyles that ultimately lead to chaos and unhappiness. We are all on drugs,
physiologically and psychologically. We are a drug addicted species that is dependent
89
on our fixes for our realities to function normally. Therefore, I advise you to be wise
about what you consume if you care about the type experiences of life you wish to
explore and undergo while you exist in this form.
Future Generations
There is an idea that each generation should do a little better than the last, that they
should take a step up and become more wise, intelligent, educated, accepting, loving,
and more peaceful than the previous generation that came before. And I do believe
that is what is happening. I see a big difference in the characteristics of the young
generations and the old, the young being the generation that is more advanced in these
special areas. The youth are more tolerable of multiculturalism, gender differences,
sexuality differences, they're more opposed to war, to sexism, to racism, animal
cruelty, yet the millennial generation has been identified as the worst generation in
recent times. How? In comparison to the generations that participated in the most
devastating wars in human history causing deaths by the millions. Where the
disgusting degradation of women was the norm, and where racism was 10x worse than
what it is today. Where coming forth as a homosexual was too dangerous, that this
generation, the one that is showing signs of unity, positive change to this planet
through the empowerment of women and acceptance of human diversity, this is the
worst generation ever? Can people not see that it is an apparent psychological
problem? That each generation is always looked down upon regardless of how well
they are doing because of what they represent? The representation of novelty, youth, a
reflection to the elders that change is inevitable and that they are becoming old. Their
world, life and planet are now being taken out of their hands and given to the younger
generations, so as a response, they desire to reject the change. They criticise the source
and the representation of novelty, which is the youth. For the youth are an
90
embodiment of all that flows, a reminder of how fragile life is, so the old feel
frightened. We should look to the youth for answers, respect their minds rather than
infect them, and learn how to be young again, for what do we have to lose? Our pride
and ego of being the elder? I don't see how that is worth fighting for when the entire
health of the planet and its inhabitants are in danger of the repetitive nature of modern
humanity. The new generations are here to educate us, to remind us, to show us that
our game we have created is reflective of our collective characteristics, meaning we
must change our ways to change the game and who better to teach us new
characteristics, ideas and thoughts than the youth who represent just that. An entire
generation has woken up; the new young are naturally showing signs of artistic
disobedience to the dominator culture. Rebellious acts of tattooing, piercing,
unemployment, different hairstyles, clothing, dissent towards the oppressed values
that are used to create conformity. This could be a reaction from the source, an attempt
to implement these minds into this reality so the world goes under a significant
change. Revolution seems to be brewing in the human collective unconscious mind.
Soon the transcending evolutionary step into the domain of love and imagination will
happen, brought upon by each individual making a stance against the dehumanising
and disempowering shackles placed on us since our birth into this reality.
This world isn't getting better, we are in desperate need of change, and I believe new
generations are injected into this world with differences to make and cause a
difference, it just makes sense to me. But they are impeded and prevented to do this by
the constant negativity that is put upon them as well as the notion that we should
encourage them to think, act and be like us. I don't believe that to be a very intelligible
move. The greatest crime we can commit is to rob the futures of the yet to be born,
and that's exactly what we are doing.
91
Why War?
Most wars fought today are political, violent ideological conflicts that serve the
purpose of the expansion of governments. People are used as brainwashed pawns
under the title of soldiers that believe in cruel enemies - evil tyrants and people that
need to be eradicated by any means necessary; clear irony. Soldiers deceptively fight
battles that are not about saving their families and friends back home, but to allow
their governments who are power hungry criminals to control more lands and thus
expand their dominance and reign. How shallow and barbaric. The amount of innocent
lives sacrificed in all wars across the span of human history for reasons that are just
unbelievable is unjustifiable and sickening. Why we still, in the 21st-century spend
billions of dollars on weapons for war and armies is baffling. Who are we protecting
ourselves from? Well more so, why and who are we trying to invade? These questions
should run it home to you that the supposed loving governments of many countries,
predominantly in the West, are not there to maintain your wellbeing and protect the
lives of those who wish to see peace, happiness, and love. They are anti-life lunatic
asylums that carry around weapons of dangerous intentions to destroy anyone who
opposes their inhumane ways. If you are an advocate of war and glorify the apparent
heroes that served your country proud by killing civilians and soldiers of another
country who also served their country proud, you have just been taken in and
brainwashed. We need to stand up and put an end to this. I do not see why people still
believe the Chinese are out to get them, that the Russians are waiting to attack. Do we
not live in a multicultural world where your items, products, food, friends, lovers,
neighbours, and so forth - are born in these countries? We are wasting our time,
intelligence, energy, money and power to fuel foolish fights that serve no purpose but
for political advancement that is utterly evil. Maybe I have an ignorant point of view
when I express my opinions on war, due to my lack of knowledge and insight of
modern politics. But I do have knowledge and insight of love - basic human nature to
92
be happy, and war has no place in providing that. The only conclusion to the war in
which we have invested so much into is that you become the new evil of the world,
and that is evident with America.
93
service and have a reasonable right to do so - for they would be in possession of what
we have put our all into - money. Money breeds terrible issues and problems. The
pulverising hell that is expanding to engross and destroy ourselves is being bought and
invested by everyone who uses money as a source for living. We are purchasing our
extinction. Money can no longer be the fuel to our needs. Our salvation, therefore, is
to eradicate money and turn to technology.
I do genuinely think that we have arrived at a time where with the use of our
intelligence and strategic planning, working for money can become obsolete. It is no
longer needed with the advancement of our technology and a shift in lifestyle. I speak
strictly about the need to spend your time completing tasks to acquire paper so that
you can purchase the basic needs for human survival. Needs like water, electricity,
shelter and food. These necessities for survival can be provided and available free of
charge if we put our love, power, and intelligence into inventing and implementing
ideas that can push this type of world on to the side of existence. Where mass amounts
of healthy - environmentally friendly food can be produced and provided for all.
Technology such as solar energy confinements can power entire states free of charge.
Technology that allows fresh water to be extracted and obtained in large amounts with
ease. Technology that helps create types of buildings that freely host plenty of the
homeless in healthy environments can be built. People will be quick to define such
thoughts as "foolish dreaming," but to not even dream, let alone do nothing about our
predicament is absurd. After all, we know the imagination to be a powerful source in
regards to what happens to our planet and what world will be experienced.
94
Considering that we are not currently thinking about this, what are we doing
collectively as a species? No one seems to have a clue; it's just random nonsense with
no direction or unity. Why we do not come together, assimilate in the world at hand,
discuss our problems and creatively think of solutions to solve our issues - I do not
know.
95
SECTION IX
Time, Space,
Artificial
Intelligence and
Future
What is out there, ahead of time in the future for us and presently occurring in space is
the apparent unknown. Through many of our efforts throughout history as humans
occupying a spaceship called planet earth, we have attempted to extract knowledge
from the exploration of space and utilise it to obtain even more. And when we think of
our actions in the present to try and understand the future of our species, we are left
with impossible answers. But the curiosity to taste ideas of possibilities that exist in
time, space and future, is mouth watering for beings such ourselves. So I believe it is
96
important therefore to question what our future may be like, and look to space for
untold esoteric knowledge waiting to be discovered.
A Ripple In Time
Like this book, what is presented presently with the human race isn't our complete
form. The influences and impressions this book will leave on the minds that read it are
as a part of the book as the writing is. So what we have done in the past and what we
do now in the present is as connected to us as a whole to what we will do in the future.
Our current actions and choices are a cause of a ripple effect that will continue to
move in form for eternity. The universe is one giant wave in motion that was caused
by us. Don't you see it? No matter what wave you currently surf, you are the entire
ripple. From the beginning of the universe to the creation of galaxies and the
continuation of forming solar systems and planets, to all inventions and thoughts ever
conceived from all beings, here you are - travelling along with everything as
everything from everything that ever happened. You - as you are, had and still have a
role in the creation of this universe as the creator. If you would like proof, think of the
impact you have had just today by existing. The lives of the people you have spoken
to or seen, messaged online or shared a comment publicly through social media with,
all of them will have their lives greatly influenced just by your small interference
because everything they do from then on was shaped by that moment of being
exposed to your presence and prior. As well as this, everything they now do will affect
others and so on and so on. But we can always trace it back. Back to your
intervention, but your intervention was because of someone else's influence, and their
influences dates further back until we find ourselves humorously speaking about the
formation of the solar system and which asteroid was the reason to a particular planet
existing. All the way until we are all the way back to the beginning of the universe.
The very activity of you reading this book right now has been a domino effect dating
97
back to the very start of existence as we know it, and possibly whatever was before
that. Realising this will cause you to understand that at the very least, we are the
universe as much as the stars, galaxies, planets and energy.
98
living a life doing what they love, up until the point that it kills them. Death will be a
cause for celebration, no longer seen as a terrible natural phenomenon. This future is
there; we just need to look towards it and take the steps necessary.
99
of evolution and novelty is the dark energy pushing the universe to what was yet to
exist. On a smaller scale, the evolving of our collective minds here within the human
race on planet earth is the dark energy that expands our cognitive world to reach new
areas that are evident today in mathematics, science, art, technology and so forth. We
know that in one human mind, the area mass, objects, possibilities and thoughts are
endless. Therefore, to think that the dark energy that takes up 73% of our universe is
collectively the expansion of all minds existing across all galaxies isn't so far fetch.
The darkness of our ignorance grows ever greater as it is illuminated by our flame of
knowledge. We never seem to be able to catch up to knowing everything as our
intelligence increases for the unknowing seems to grow, just as the universe expands
while the energy attempts to catch it. We, along with everything else are the reason for
that. We are pushing existence, creating it, living it, being it - like the Gods we are.
Time Travel
I think an importance that first must be established when we speak of time travel is
what concept of time are we using because time by my definition implies the death
and birth of everything. That there is only change, the forward continuous progression
is illusory. So the concept we will use in regards to time is that it is an extension of
existence moving onward, further forever. The paradoxical complications that arise
when we speak of time travel on a single linear timeline are plentiful. If one were to
travel back into their past on the same line of time and alter a minor thing, like just
being out in public, then their future would most likely change dramatically -
especially if they travelled more than a hundred years into the past. It'd put into
question if they did travel back into the past or even exist at all in the first place. So
that idea of travelling history doesn't make sense. What time travelling concept that I
do favour, however, is multiverse travel, where you can travel to another linear of time
that is parallel to this one that we are living in. For if other time-streams were to exist
100
somewhere, I wonder if we could somehow transport ourselves to them by using
gateways like wormholes and black holes, if that's what they are. But for what purpose
would we do this? Maybe it could be used as a field of research to understand
ourselves further as humans and who we are. To find the most alike past, relevant to
our present and study the evolution of that world to study ourselves simultaneously.
That would be like retrieving knowledge about our history in an immense amount
incomparable to what archaeology and other relative fields of studies provide. What
also needs to be taken into consideration is whether we are talking about travelling
ahead, or backwards. According to science, travelling into the future is possible to a
degree by special relativity. If one were to travel near or at the speed of light through
space, then time would be a lot slower in comparison to everyone back on Earth. The
effect would be undetectable until you return home, and realise that everyone else has
aged a lot more than you have. The only other somewhat form of transportation into
the past is when we remember it. Memory is in a way time travel, just not physical.
But what my mind drifts to ponder about in regards to memory is the complexity of it
in which we as humans have attained and the true purpose of having memories.
Understandably, evolution plays a role in developing an information storage there to
use mentally and physically for our cells to duplicate DNA, remember our predators
and food locations, restore tissue and heal muscle, etc. But what is quite curious to me
is whether memory is a key to unlocking unbelievable abilities. To have in you right
now, visual, emotional, and auditory information stored for access by mind raises the
question - can something else access it? For if so, say through the use of advanced
futuristic technology, we could access one's memory bank and explore the individual's
memories, that would be time travel into the past. We would just be restricted to that
person's history.
101
Artificial Intelligence
We are an information gathering, storing and release species. We gather data on life,
understand it, and place it in our memory bank for use when desired. But since the late
20th century, we have shifted from relying on our biological withering away bodies,
and instead turned to the stable, intelligent - technological creations that are evidently
becoming more apparent in recent years. The incredible technology that is available
today in the 21st century has blown away the barricades that attempted to entrap
human creativity by limiting the minds of the inventive with dullness. But as seen
with the creation of the great internet, where information on a vast amount of different
studies and topics can be obtained within seconds while in the comfort of sitting on a
couch at home, creators have had their minds introduced to countless ideas. It is just a
one after the other, building technological blocks on top of one another, reaching new
heights of astonishment and discovers until we are at a point where the words artificial
intelligence are spoken into existence.
102
SECTION X
Free Love Of The
Ever-Present,
Magnificently
Tranquil
Found in the essence of life, there is a peacefully tranquil, loving nature among us and
in us. States of experiences that bring somewhat of a liberating vibe to our existence
as well as to others in our presence. It is that feeling of comfort you have at family
gatherings, the serenity when you embrace a feminine quality, the ecstasy exuding out
of the bodies of two lovers having sex. There is an ever-present, loving atmosphere
there for one to indulge themselves in, but only for a short period because we have
103
limited its availability by sanctioning the places, situations and sources it can be felt
in.
104
presently happening in our world. If we could see, feel and listen to the painful cries
of our planet and its inhabitants, we would change immediately. For I do not agree
that the human race is fundamentally evil, instead we are just lost and confused for the
moment. The eternal now is where everything is found, where your core ability to feel
and experience resides, so why do you avert your presence from the present? This is
all I know to be true and real; the present moment is the source of everything we have
come to know.
Meditation
To be in touch with the now can be achievable through a form of meditation. By
centralising one's mind on the specifics of a natural experience - such as the art of
walking - you will soon realise that your mind will be captivated by the movement of
walking, resulting in your thoughts quieting down, leaving you entirely in the felt
moment, the eternal now. The importance of quieting the mind is purposeful for
someone's sanity, for a mind always bubbling with thoughts will lead to what we have
come to know as anxiety, and anxiety can be a disturbing experience to undergo for
any being who wishes to enjoy the wonders of life. The essentials of practising the art
of meditation are simply to be alert, attentive to what is happening in the felt moment,
and the easiest way to achieve this for beginners is to listen. Close your eyes and hear
the sounds occurring around you and in you. By doing just this, you will be exposed to
how deeply addicted you have become with identifying nature with the concepts and
ideas that have been given to you. Notice that if you are to hear a bird chirp, you will
automatically identify that sound belonging to what we know as a bird, and therefore
the sound is not completely heard for you are distracted by allowing your mind to take
control and focus on your knowledge of what birds are. Let your mind do that
peacefully. Do not try to control it, for that will do nothing but cause an unnatural
105
disturbance of force, exactly what you are trying not to achieve. Leave your mind to
wander, observe it doing so, listen to your thoughts just as you are listening to the
outside world and eventually it will quiet itself. You will get back into touch with the
sounds around you, and you will hear them like you've never heard them before. You
will alter your state of consciousness, exposing yourself to new experiences of life.
We seem always to be half awake and half asleep. Half awake and responsive to life,
half asleep thinking in regards to the occurrences we undergo every day, or dreaming
of experiences, places, people, things completely unrelated to the present moment. I
believe we should be totally in tune to either one of these states, for it will allow us to
entertain experiences entirely for what they really are. Knowing about this, peculiar
thoughts begin to arise, questions about the experiences we are unaware of due to our
current state of consciousness.
106
When you begin thinking about this, you realise that we, ourselves are oblivious to the
realities and experiences that are present around us but unseen due to our limitations
of intelligence or consciousness. Like flying in a plane high above the landscape, you
see the world from a different perspective that opens you up to a whole new
experience that was always there but ungraspable without the ability to fly. We are
therefore living with an unbelievably large amount of ignorance. So what? Why does
that matter? It doesn't unless you are someone who is attracted to explore the unknown
and be as aware as one can be of their surroundings, which I believe is a psychological
and deep-rooted biological behaviour of the human experience. The urge to push
boundaries in the hope of discovering novelty to pursue and experience is what
separates us as a species from others and provides the feeling central to what it is to be
human. The people alive today have arrived in this world too late to explore the lands
of the planet, and too early to light the darkness of space, but we have been born
during the human exploration period of cyberspace. Knowledge has become more
attainable and accessible thanks to our advancement in technology and thus we have
been exposed to a rapid increase in awareness of truth, along with multiple practices
that have influenced our realities such as mathematics, quantum physics, science,
philosophy and therefore altering the states of consciousness of the mass. Our
expansion of mind across all realms has brought about new experiences that the
collective human overmind has never explored before. The experiences to travel the
planet and see locations you have not seen before, to discover and connect to the
minds of people who have experienced life significantly differently to you due to the
instances such as the location of their birth. We are altering the experiences of life for
the average human and therefore altering our states of consciousness.
107
The Plants And Fungi Are Talking
There is a bunch of chatter happening that man is not listening to; the communicating
of plants and fungi. The intrinsic symbiotic relationship between man, plants and
fungi is archaic, woven throughout the years of understanding one another through the
act of absorbing. Man absorbing the plant or fungi and experiencing the effects as the
plant or fungi experiences the core of man by devoting itself to being absorbed. The
consequence of the practice of this is the binding of a connection with entirely
different species from different kingdoms, providing an evolutionary advantage for all
three species - as well as a relationship that contains an inner communicative system.
Plants are incredibly intelligent. Evidence of this can be found in the history of their
evolution, awareness of their surroundings, and their complex neurotransmitters and
an advanced language system. These combined not only provides the possibility to
communicate with itself or other plants, but can also communicate with a human by
using the body and brain of a human as a catalyst to speak. Hallucinations from the
consumption of specific plants and fungi work as a way to convey meaning to the
host, for the human to see what is being said and speak back by allowing itself to have
her or his mind, body, and brain affected by the fungi or plant. The incredibility and
magic of this have been downplayed, looked upon as an experience for the type of
people who do not belong in any society and therefore entertain themselves in an
altered state by doing things like consuming magic mushrooms or drinking a brew
made from the banisteriopsis caapi vine known to some as ayahuasca. What is
happening when one immerses themselves into this state by absorbing the plant or
fungi chemicals, is that they undergo an experience of obtaining an insight into untold
knowledge about abstract ideas, history, themselves, life and existence - all through
the sharing of information from multiple species. Something like this for decades has
captured the minds of people who dream about communicating with aliens. To be able
to communicate with some other species that is intelligent enough to understand and
respond back with an equally shared, sophisticated enough level is revolutionary. A
108
communicative bridge and evolutionary step to spread information to each other
immediately were created when language spawned, so think of how much of an
advantage that has provided the human race in so many areas of life. Now imagine not
being restricted to only communicating to members amongst your own species, but to
be able to communicate to other species millions of years old and learning about them,
obtaining information in which they have to tell. All you have to do is devote your
mind and interest into listening to what they have to say and in doing so, you can learn
more about yourself as well. The time to listen to what others have to say is upon us.
Let us look to progress ourselves and benefit our species by hearing the other species
of Earth. The study of hallucinations from drinking or eating certain plants or fungi
should be taken seriously and looked to in the same way we look at space. It holds
mysteries, hidden knowledge, possibly information about the history of the human
race and where we come from; what existence is. Suppressing the opportunity to
invest our minds into this field of study and practice is most likely concluding in the
impeding of our own evolution. Imagine having a source for information such as the
internet to be taken away, cut off from your possession as well as a field of study not
existing such as astrophysics. That would result in an entire library of information in
your hands for your use as well as a study and practice to be non-existent. You would
nowhere near be able to assimilate in different topics as quickly and freely, and the
loss of the light of astrophysics as a field of study would leave us in the darkness of
space. Take the study of the communication of plants and fungi seriously through the
use of hallucinations with the human brain as a catalyst, and all of a sudden we have
opened up an entirely new field of study as well as a source for information that
ultimately will result in taking another step progressively in evolution.
109
Power To The Feminine
When something is not equally stable, problems are more likely to arise. This is what I
believe the state of male and female influence on our world to be in. There is a
significant lack of female input in this world, from politics to business, to
relationships and personal development, resulting in a world of male dominance. To
address what I am about to write, I will be forced to generalise the male nature of
most. And it is not to say that the nature of men is utterly negative, no, but rather an
imbalance of the feminine counterpart due to females in so many different societies
and cultures being suppressed and oppressed by the modern world in so many
different ways has caused negative consequences. Those negative consequences entail
an amplified reflection of the collective male ego - the physical domination of this
planet for the purpose of attaining things like power, status, position, through barbaric
acts such as war. A shift of power to females as a way to balance the influences of our
human world is to me, quite the right path to take so that the future generations can
live in an enjoyable world. Women have for too long suffered inequality and abuse of
their human rights to just continue going along life ignoring it. The world is beginning
to reflect. We are in need of more females and males to rise and stand not only for
themselves or for the female gender, but for the human race and ultimately the planet
itself. In politics here in Australia, only 22.8 percent of all national parliamentarians
are women, roughly the same percentage of females in Congress in America. In
regards to earning money, most jobs that females find themselves in are childcare
related or assistant type jobs, not much of a position to have your say on the
progression of the culture in your country. And it is interesting to know that secretary
and administrative assistants are one of the most popular female jobs, a sort of meme
to represent females in a position lower as assistants for the person or people above.
Notably, in Australia, the average Australian woman has to work an extra 66 days a
year to earn the same pay as the average man. Being born in a culture like what is
present today, that is heavily male influenced will psychologically cause one to form
110
beliefs and prejudices about the position that females have. This is due to not
assimilating in a culture where it is balanced by both men and women influences,
therefore, not obtaining compassion and forming a connection to the feminine. This
has contributed to the appalling situation of the treatment of women by men in many
different environments. Rape, physical and verbal abuse, derogation, etc. These are all
a part of the consequences of having an imbalanced world where the dominance of
male influence is too immense. I am not against males. If the tables were turned and
the nature of males was to be suppressed, causing an imbalance that would greatly
negatively affect this planet as much as the lack of feminine qualities has, then this
topic would be titled power to the males.
The act of empowering women can make a positive change to our planet, and it is
possible by informing the yet to be brainwashed that there is another gender of the
human race who resides here, that deserves as much love, compassion, and respect as
the other. It is our inability to stand for what is morally right to each and every one of
us deep down; that is causing our downfall as a species. The continuation of the
aggressive dominance towards our planet can be alleviated by feminine qualities. To
do this, women must be empowered.
Spirituality
I do not believe in what is known by most as spirits or souls, or one's need to progress
themselves spiritually through a quest of activities and practices. Spirituality to me is
something outside of physical matters and the human-made world, a word that
includes the influential forces of love, kindness, unity, a connective and wholeness
state. All of us are naturally spiritual beings. We all can exude love, feel unified with
111
the totality of the universe, feel the desire to be kind and helpful throughout the
duration of our existence. It is the upbringing of particular societies, cultures, and
environments that add layer after layer of superficial type identities that hide and mask
this core spiritual identity, thus creating the spiritual quest to look for the answers to
who you truly are. Usually, to do this, you begin listening to gurus or joining
spirituality type groups, when your spiritual answers have been within you all along.
That is not to say, gurus, wise masters of meditation and spiritual leaders are pointless
- they can help point you in the direction, but they are not a necessity. The necessity is
to strip yourself down of these identity walls of confusion that complicate life due to
the stubborn attachment we have to maintaining and obtaining them. I seem to know
more about Travis Woods than I do of myself, and that is the case for most of us. A
spiritual life, in my opinion, is experiencing existence without the filters of your ego,
that will result in being expressed as not the false identity you have created, but
expressing yourself as your core nature of love. That is spirituality at its finest.
Wasting your time attempting to become spiritual is that of an ego decision, it is
impossible. It can not happen while the ego exists. So if you continue trying to use
your ego to obtain information from spiritual leaders to help liberate yourself through
the use of the ego, you will fail. You don't need to go on this self-improving journey
to the spiritual mountains of India and find a guru sitting cross-legged on a rock to
stare into your eyes and provide you with a rigmarole as to how to reach
enlightenment. Their level of spirituality is as obtainable to you within a second if you
simply remove your false identity and experience life without a filtering perception.
112
made person living eternally divided, therefore, more likely to find completeness and
wholeness in areas such as nationalism, culture, race, and society. What does sex have
to do with any of this? Sex isn’t just sex, the act of stripping down naked and inserting
a penis into a vagina, repeatedly thrusting over the average duration of 3-7 minutes or
less for some. That is an attempt to take away its real power. Sex is rather the art of
two complex beings coming together to express all the things physical and
non-physical about themselves so that they become connected as one. It is
empowerment, an aggrandising that reveals visually for the first time and only way I
know of, love. Love is painted to be seen on the bodies of two humans engaging in an
experience that to me is clearly godly. To be able to unify two beings and produce
another being as a result, is that of what a creator does.
113
and lesser of a person, to see the art of sex as something crude that should be best
hidden in the privacy of a room for the beauty of it shouldn’t be seen, to find
nakedness uncomfortable and so on. All of these reasons that ultimately cause
someone to be afraid of sex. But our natural urges are too strong thankfully, that we
eventually engage in the experience. If they weren’t and sex was completely limited
due to control, then a robot and a human would be indistinguishable.
Living Freely
Many of us are controlled and programmed like we're robots, distancing ourselves
even further from the free love of the ever-present magnificently tranquil. The
freedom to live our lives to how we desire them to be experienced has been taken
away from us as our dreams are arrested and sanctioned by laws, the opinions,
teachings and judgment of others. Those persuasive, informative sources direct us to
express a particular identity so that we become a person that is foreign to who we
really want to be. And so the identity we now express is common in the society and
culture we live in. Being free truly, is to live without suppression. To just be who you
are, where you are and what you are naturally without effort - for you are not
controlled by wanting to be someone or somewhere else, you are just here as you are.
The problem that arises, therefore, is that most of us desire to be elsewhere, to become
someone that we're not, so we are restrained by our wants and goals, losing our
freedom. I have often wondered whether the average person truthfully wishes to be
liberated, or if they are actually addicted to being commanded, to be told what to do,
who they are and how they should live their lives. The reason I believe for people to
feel like this is due to fearing the unknown; afraid to immerse themselves into
experiences that not many explore and therefore no knowledge of what will be found
can be foreknown. So they believe it to be better to give themselves over to the
lifestyles that are of the norm, typical within their societies so that they know what
114
future they will receive and what life they will live. Quite a mistaken belief to have.
The one certainty that I know human freedom has no place in is the control of the
fundamental events that occur all around us. We are desperately trying to control them
so that we can in return push our collective bubble of freedom out further through the
use of our inventions such as medicine and vaccinations to free oneself from diseases,
sickness and the high chance of being taken by death. But ultimately, we are stuck
being shoved around by forces that are too significant to free ourselves from, for now
at least that is. To some degree we will never be free, but rather roaming life with a
loosely fitted leash around our necks that can be pulled at any moment by the hands of
fate. However, we can at least remove ourselves from the control of others, people
who wish to command you to work for them, to be like them, to live a lifestyle you
have no true interest in, but are rather proceeding to continue out of fear of what
would happen if you were to stop. However, you know all that you can look forward
to is total misery if you continue, so why not take the risk?
115
voyage so wonderfully intrinsic, it can only be experienced and explored
spontaneously.
The cosmic energy expressed through the love of two human beings is indescribable.
Love will take you to places so beautiful that any attempt to use words to describe
what you are feeling will do it no justice. It is a divine experience, a universal feeling
of completion for you have found yourself in someone else; even death cannot silence
it. Poetry seems to be the closest humans have come to expressing love through the
use of words and still it is not strong enough to contain this powerful force and bring it
down to a level in which we can use one of our human-made tools, such as language
to convey its meaning. And as you dance to music, the song has different patterns and
rhythms in which express different sounds, some more pleasing than the other, but it is
still part of the same song. Therefore, like love, you will have parts in which it surely
seems that the love has changed but that’s just part of the same song, and there’s
nothing you should do except to continue dancing.
If you’re in love, I advise you to stop trying to dissect and question it for it is not
something we can explain, we can only experience. So take one’s hand and dance
while the song is being played, but when the song ends and the dance is over, it is best
to let go.
116
Section XI Epilogue:
To The Future and
Beyond!
The momentum of our progression in the direction forward shall no longer be halted.
The human race will prosper, and due to the continuation of our existence, the future
will colour all living life forms with an experience worth living for. Life as we know it
shall consist of beauty, love and happiness for us to indulge in; as we bleach the
darkness of our history by redeeming ourselves and reconnecting with mother nature.
The future we have a chosen to head towards collectively by changing the present and
riding it of the negative effects physically and mentally that we impose onto it will be
a time like no other on this planet. A time where you will actually feel human again,
alive and in tuned with the universe. That is what has been taken away from us, by us,
and the only way of getting it back is through us. It isn't going to come from investing
yourself in purchasing lifestyles sold to you through unhealthy ideologies and cultural
teachings handed down by your family, peers, schooling systems and governments.
You don't earn your freedom and independence by defining yourself as a race or
nationality, labelling yourself with memes that entail rules and laws sanctioning you
to a specific reality so that you're under its control. It doesn't work like that. Where
117
you find your emancipation from the unhealthiness of society and culture, is in the felt
present moment of love. That is all that matters. All else of what is currently being
focused on like job security, climbing the corporate ladder, following cultural
traditions and aggrandising your status in society, is all but a fool's game - created for
and by the deluded. Where real life is really happening, is when you feel the magic
that flows through your body as you look into the eyes of a beloved, or singing to the
musical raindrops that heavenly fall everywhere around us, while you dance to the
wonders of life. Where the cosmic energy radiantly emerges pulsating from your
body, that you see not hate and separation from other beings of life, but rather unity
and connection. For us to still exist as a species of apparent chaos, we must apparently
be presenting some beneficial consequences to this planet as well. The human
experience undergoes a deliverance of pure complexity, divinity, for we can be vile
and evil as well. But we mustn't lose hope if we desire to prolong humanity's
existence. The change that needs to come about is firstly personal.
I advise you to work on yourself, explore who you are and what you love to do, and
do it, be it. Express what you are, and in return, the world you live in will reflect. If
you want to embody a reality of materialistic, egotistical acquirements, then as you
will notice, your world will in return display just that. A house filled with stuff, things
taking up space and room externally and internally that it is killing the other occupants
and overall, the host. And evident in the modern world, as the conclusion for a lot of
people who travel down that path with the apparent love to invest their minds in
obtaining corruptive trash and caring about the opinions of others, do not find
happiness, but rather misery. For the attraction and addiction for such desires, was
misinterpreted as love, and that's what is ultimately destroying us. If you are someone
of whom is disinterested in fulfilling your time pursuing what majority seem to be
chasing, then I encourage you to find the others who think like you. Who see through
the lies told by our shallow leaders and are willing to stand up to say enough to these
118
controlling and demoralising sociological, culturalistic ideologies that have torn
humanity apart. Find them and talk about how you're going to start a peaceful
revolution to help save us from ourselves because we are in desperate need of people
like you. You hold the key, the power, the love, the creativity, the abilities and
intelligence to transform this world for the better. You simply need to make your
voice heard. Speak up by no longer purchasing mislead paths that lead to investing
your mind in a career that you honestly do not wish to follow, but rather have been
stupidly advised by society to obtain a particular job because it "pays well." Stop
selling your existence to serving a system destroying not only your love and happiness
but the well-being of all species currently on this planet. Think for yourself, do what
makes you happy - so long as it doesn't impede others from doing what they love. We
orchestrate this world to produce the music we wish to hear, feel, and listen to. If we
desire to bang the planet with the sound of bombs, the noise of guns - yelling and
screaming from the chaos of inhumanness and the uproar of anarchy than the music
will be as such. But there is another song that is heard in the ecstasy of love, unity,
peace and happiness. We can play that song for the entire universe to listen to and
enjoy. For all species of earth to be captivated by the beautiful melody of the human
race, we just need to change our ways.
You are not alone. I know you think differently, you’re not like most. You question
everything, even though it occasionally gets you into trouble with the system. And it’s
a struggle, trying to fit in with a brainwashed society; it’s why you tend to feel
depressed here and there. For you realise how ridiculous everything is. The world
we’ve created isn’t meant for dreamers like us, so it killed the artist. Consumerism, as
a consequence, dominates. But there is hope. I encourage you to rebel. To do what you
love and reveal your deepest thoughts openly, regardless of what people may think.
Because why not? What is it that you are afraid of? The judgement of others? I don’t
think that will suffice when the human race blows this planet up because those
119
amongst us who could see past the bullshit didn’t make their voices heard. You are
special, you have a gift. You are in a position that is needed now more than ever. The
position of being different from most. So for the sake of those yet to be born – and for
the sake of those who do not speak the human language but are greatly affected by its
world, I ask of you to do what you feel pulled towards. To change the world and save
the planet. Find the others, change the world, and save humanity from ourselves.
SECTION ZERO
Personal Entry
This book itself as a whole is essentially a personal entry on my behalf, but I have
lacked to write about I, myself, Travis Woods. My experiences, lifestyle, personal
qualities remain mysterious and yet you may very well be able to relate to them. So I
believe I should share myself for a reason to possibly connect strongly with you
because in doing so we can together embrace a feeling of loving unity, and that is
worth the exposure.
120
Why I Write
I write to you from a place of wonder, of love, where my solitude is accompanied by
happiness for the first time in my life I feel at "home". Each day I breathe is to an
extent solitudinous, for I am one to spend most of my time writing and enjoying the
quietness in loneliness. And it is complicated for me to give an answer to the question
why it is that I write, all I know is that I must for it is an urge similar to that of hunger.
Possibly my desire to play with words and arrange them to form sentences as a way to
best translate my thoughts comes from that of the unknown source. Fueling me with
inspiration to write what has never been said, or too difficult to say. My obsession
with writing has been present with me for some time now. I've been attracted since I
was young to the power I find within myself when I see my cognition laid out naked
in front of me by use of witnessing the syntactical nature of my words, an
externalisation of my mind concretised by language. It is interesting to see your
thoughts extracted and brought into this world, for it's like a unique mirror where you
have a conversation with yourself. An opportunity to not just hear what is happening
inside your mind, but to visually see with letters and symbols. My fascination with
writing, especially on the topic of anything philosophical, has led to discovering
deeper levels of myself that I never knew existed. Chambers and sections that laid
bare but unseen have now been lit up with candles of knowledge and awareness. As a
result, my life has become somewhat of an arrow on fire that has been shot forward in
a direction, lighting up the darkness of the yet to be known as it burns the lies that
stand in its path (without pretentious intent.) I have literalised my life by subjecting it
to letters and symbols; the eternal now stamped with my existence for the eternity that
it feeds. I advise writing and all other arts for that matter to anyone who engages in
some sort of self-mental conflict, to reveal yourself in front of your eyes by ejecting
your thoughts into the physical realm by writing or doing whatever your artistic craft
is with truth. Plentiful have failed such a simple task, the simple task of discovering
who you are by expressing yourself out of the non-physical and into the deep web of
121
the physicality. This is the purest form you can take on the physical level that will
convey your true self. To translate your "spirit", "soul" or mind into the language of
physicality for the world and yourself to see through the acts of using physical objects
like paper or music, in catalyst with your mind to produce imprints of yourself by
writing on the paper or dancing to the music. It's like a splash from a wave of your
mind leaving its presence on the beach of what can be felt, seen and heard by
everyone. Writing has become my friend, a presence that I can turn to when I wish to
ask questions, philosophise, and give answers to areas in my life that if left alone lead
to anxiety, depression and suicidal thoughts. It is a tool of mental health, a sanity
producer that has and is keeping me well balanced.
122
dead future for a living being by influencing force of drudgery. Lying to myself with
the thoughts heavily influenced by school both on the social side, and the educational
side, I told myself I wanted to become an audio engineer and study at a university that
will provide me with the ability to do so. When really all I wanted to do was create
music. Journeying ahead for one year I noticed my interests in life began drifting away
from that of my peers. I realised 365 days had passed and I lived the majority of them
alone, studying and writing, breaking my mind free of the ruckus that was just simply
unhealthy. My parents would be the only two faces that'd I'd see on a daily basis for
weeks, that within the next year when I had to engage in public by finding a job, I was
hit tremendously with anxiety. Overwhelmed by being in social situations, it felt so
odd that the feeling still lingers when I try to recapture it. So for the first year, I was
incredibly lonely, come the next year, I assimilated further in philosophy and
advanced socially by looking for a job in which I earned but quit within weeks out of
feeling terrible with myself like I was wasting my life. Now living in the third year of
this approach to life that differs from most, I look in hindsight of how happy I am that
I did such a thing. By removing myself almost completely from society, I have
discovered things about myself and life that I believe would never have surfaced if I
remained affiliated with the general public. I would have been too caught up in the
supposed drama of my social life, caring about petty things like whether people enjoy
my presence and like who I portray myself to be. I would also most likely still see
money as something that is real and worth acquiring, along with finding importance in
climbing the ladder that leads to success by standing on top of others who are trying to
do the same. My linguistics I'm sure would have reflected my culture; thus my world
would be a place relevant to what is currently the norm, which is not pleasant as we
can all see. Three years have passed, and I feel like I am continuing to evolve,
progressing effortlessly and for that, I am grateful for my solitude. The act of
alienating yourself is something I advise us all to do. For how do you know who you
are if you rarely dance alone, to see how you move, step, react? By allowing yourself
123
to be immune to the influences of others you are left with no choice but to think for
yourself.
Flashbacks
I have for a long time been haunted by this mysterious experience known to me as
flashbacks. They are accompanied with migraines and tend to occur whenever they
please; there are no triggers. My brainwaves have been monitored, and my heart
checked with a camera, natural remedy therapeutic sessions taken place and yet still
no level of understanding these flashbacks has been achieved. The experience of the
state is unpleasant. Usually, I will wake up early morning with a throbbing headache,
associated with random memories accompanied by the feelings that took place in
those memories, causing me to become overwhelmed and physically exhausted that I
sleep without the ability to eat for most of the day. The flashbacks I endure are of
random memories, and they are not caused by any traumatic mental history for I grew
up with a loving family. Most of the memories are of multiple locations and
experiences that caused me to feel a significant vibe, like visiting my grandmother's
house, there are particular vibes about that environment I can recall that are different
to when my presence is at home. A good example to explain this would be Christmas
time. There are feelings and vibes you most likely experience when Christmas arrives,
so imagine undergoing a flashback to a time during Christmas where you can visually
see the memory and also experience the feelings that you associate with that memory.
Now imagine being hit with another flashback completely different just five seconds
after that one, and another five seconds after that for a total of six minutes at least
thirty times a day, not an enjoyable experience. These flashbacks take me out of the
reality I am currently living in, and spin me on a merry-go-round disturbing my
bearings that each time I come to back to the reality I exist predominantly in, it loses
124
its realness bit by bit. I write of them for just this reason. I am handed these reality
dissolving states by my brain similar to that of psychedelic experiences that I am
thankfully more inclined to question the real value of things. This is something of
importance that has been weaved throughout this book since the beginning. The
consistent questioning of the value of your truths, opinions, realities, is a necessity for
your sanity. Otherwise, you'll be left in one reality showing signs of delusion which is
a quality of insanity. However, what we have defined as delusion is experiencing
anything other than what is true to this apparent known reality.
125
dance club like environment will occur, but not of one that is egotistically obscene
with little to no love felt, but one that glows like fairy lights with a connection,
acceptance and love. People gathered together for the purpose of love and embracing a
movement that intends to revolutionise the world with unity. We will all gather
together for one another to listen, see and feel each other's mind so that we will not
succumb to the ugliness of this world, but to rise above it holding each other's hands
in equilibrium. Such a place needs to form; the youth especially need help and
guidance from the troubles of anxiety, depression, loneliness and suicidal thoughts
that are inflicted upon them by many different contributing factors. This club will
provide just that freedom. It will be my most desired goal I wish to achieve before I
die. Concurrently, however, I have another desire that is completely unrelated to that
of the one I just mentioned. I also want to be nomadic, wander the lands of New
Zealand and live alone in the wilderness. It is a place my imagination takes me daily,
dreaming about being out there in the wild away from all the odious rubbish that
constantly tries to drag me down. The rubbish of dramatic social situations, like
having to deal with communicating with someone I do not wish to but I apparently
must because they are related to me. Or dealing with the countless different opinions
and views I have in comparison to that of the average person in my society and
culture. To just be by myself, or with a lover who shares a mind similar to mine, in an
environment that is yet to be destroyed by the grouping and gathering of man would
be wonderful. I believe I know the reason as to why I feel like doing this, and
therefore, why others past and present also have felt or feel the same desire.When
acting on intuition, your body naturally responds to fear of possible dangers without
conscious reasoning. A sense of feeling responsive to a non-visible, yet to happen
threat. I think that is where my desire to abandon civilisation and run off into the wild
comes from. My senses are screaming at me to flee the dangers of modern man.

The War of Self
My teenage years were a struggle; a battle fought within my mind that lasted nearly
five years and almost concluded with suicide. It was a clash that waged hidden in
silence from others. Destructive and tormenting I would often find myself in tears
contemplating how and when I should end my wake and sleep for eternity. Life was
presented without meaning other than suffering, whereas death expressed salvation,
rescue, relief. I have learnt in the recent years that self-conflict is like an impossible
puzzle, a complicated mystery for an enigma of a person to dwell in piecing together a
design that leads to no end; for the pieces used are the problem themselves. The mind
attempts to cure thoughts by thinking; it is not possible, it's illogical. Therefore, the
only way to complete an impossible puzzle is to break the pieces and dismiss them.
To cure the mind of thoughts you must not think, that is the difficulty in the war of
self. As a teen, I realised this when I experienced that extraordinary presence of the
interaction with the free love of the ever-present, magnificently tranquil. Its language
is spoken in the silence of the mind when you're able to hear the sounds of nature. But
how exactly does one stop their thoughts from spawning? The difficulty is the struggle
of being addicted to one of the most dangerous drugs, thinking. And like all
addictions, the compulsion is heavily dependent on the state of the addict's
environment, the company and the disturbances. As humans, we crave connection for
reason of distraction. It's why we watch movies, play video games, drink alcohol, go
out to clubs, etc. As a way to distract ourselves from ourselves, or from someone else
or something else - we attempt to form a connection that will do just that.
My addiction that I once turned to as a saviour was video gaming, and also of course,
what so many of us naturally turn to for connection and comfort, thinking. Our
reliance and relationship to thinking as a distraction is what predominantly has
spawned the mental issues that create self-conflict such as anxiety and depression.

And I am not against thinking, after all, I question if it is part of the fundamental
foundation of our universe, but overthinking due to addiction is clearly unhealthy. I
am almost certain that I'd be dead right now if it weren't for discovering that answer to
winning the war of self. That using thoughts to cure my addiction of thinking about
problems that only exist through thoughts is futile. I had to quiet my mind.
To stop thinking you must not try, for that will just bother your mind. Instead, you
must just be, where you are as you are and feel the presence of the cosmic energy flow
through you. Your mind will eventually quiet itself - as your internal conflict will fade
and cease to be.

have journeyed beyond life and down the path of death. To be able to follow their
footsteps and discover what they felt, saw, and realised is intensely fascinating. What
lies beyond that door is attracting me to contemplate clasping the handle and opening
it soon.
