GIVE UP THE MONEY GAME!



Someday there will come a time
In the money game we play
When the urge for collecting cash
Will shrival fast away
When social classes dwindle
No hint of rich or poor
Everyone will help each other
And the bank will close its door
When the world is all one country
Without barriers or fear
And weapons will be melted
Into a plow we all can share
When all can travel freely
Of nationality not one sign
No need for making green cards
In governmental red tape lines...
No real estate for the privileged
Or special care for the few
No need for tax loopholes
That the clever can fall through
In the sunlight of this new dawn
We will cast out this meme of greed
Let go of the virus of selfishness
And heal the fear of need!
Many blessings possibility thinkers!

IF MAN IS A WOLF TO MAN, WHO THEN ARE THE SHEEP?



Somewhere around 1976 the biologist Richard Dawkins coined the term "meme" as "a unit of cultural transmission, or a unit of imitation," according to his works on socially transmitted ideas or genes. He gave us interesting examples such as tunes, catch-phrases, beliefs, clothes fashions, ways of making pots, or of building arches, etc, and in this we might add destructive behavior modes.

Memes were theoretically seen as culturally transferred behavior patterns that propagate or transmit social traits without a great deal of loss, supposedly to insure their replication and success. Susan Blackmore has even presented a theory in her book The Meme Machine (1999)that may replace the idea of an intuitive-naturalistic theory of mind. What is even more scarier about these ideas is the belief that holons, the basic units behind them may be impermeable to change, because it may be "quantized" at some unredeemable level of organization.

What drew me to study the implications of this theory of the transference and replication of group memories intra-socially through memes, was the far-reaching significance of its transmission, and hypothetically, potential disastrous consequences; i.e., how can we rid ourselves of a genetic program that is self-destructive, such as human exploitation of each other and the tendency toward irresponsible greediness?

The question that arises, have we manufactured a cultural gene, (like a robot system that takes over the world) that has gone on automatic pilot and is now bent on destroying its creator? In my blog, Why Humans? I intentionally probed at the possibility that humans may represent a genetic program that has gotten out of sync with the planetary holon, and has become a detriment to its integrity, acting like an antagonistic virus, if you will, and turning against its host. Now its behavior suggests it may need to be irradicated, less it destroys all life in its steroidal-hormonal-like growth surge.

Because of this situation, it is now imperative that we address two elements directly,

a) At what point does a meme grow stronger than its host, like a cancerous virus, and begin to overwhelm its environment? b) Can negative ramifications of this greed meme be dissolved?

To successfully conduct such integral, intra-social and psychological changes seems nearly impossible, though I do think it can be done, but we must begin mid-cycle in the replication cycle; i.e., within our sense of sharing freedom and responsibility.

The consequences of failing to administer these changes renders us victums of a criminal co-conspiracy,and unwitting proponents in the replication of a destructive, survivalist-oriented economic system. This kind of laisez-faire system transmits a social irresponsibility message that says it is okay to stand by and let evil be done in our country and abroad without taking responsible personal action to resist!

It is upon this meme of 'social irresponsibility' that we must now direct our concerted psychic laser and hopefully, alter the defective progamming before it is too late. We must stop the errant virus of selfishness and greed before it becomes too powerful.

And so I appeal to you, let us join as ONE holon of higher consciousness to visualize the end of this socially undesirable "cut-throat" economics that exploit everyone for the almighty dollar.

We created this illusory 'play-money game,' and we can dismantle it.

Many blessings!

SOCIAL IMPERATIVE
Will your Self
To see life changed
Take the plunge
Get rearranged
Crack the egg
Of systems past
Shift the mind
And make it last--
Walk the talk
And live the way
You are the answer
To change today.

TRY THE SPIRITS


NOTE: I have had many interesting questions about 'trying' or 'testing the spirits' to see if they are valid entities and I am placing this blog to address those questions adequately.


Knowledge of Self is paramount in one's communication with the Spirit Realm, because in the development of self-awareness, the problem of ego distortions in perspective are brought under conscious control, thereby reducing identifying self and boundary problems.

As much non-involvement with your own desires allows a person to determine what is real in this communication and what is not. Look for the signs that abound about you and especially within your so-called dreaming states where access to the after-death environment is more readily achieved.

Allowing yourself some freedom to explore without too much criticism over the results will, on a supra-conscious level, encourage those who are trying to get in touch with you from beyond the veil to make contact.

Voices from beyond are common--and I am of course differentiating between a) the common sound of your voice, and 2) delusions of the psyche--although it would do you some good to read Julian Jaynes on The Origin of Consciousness to become acquainted with the voices schizophrenics hear as the 'voice of God."

Cultivating a proper atmosphere for Spirit Communication is essential for attracting either the kind of presences you prefer, such as old friends or family members. I like to use an aromatic incense, a candle and darkened sitting room and sometimes hold hands with my wife, to establish good energy. Inviting Spirit Communication will sometimes bring immediate results, sometimes none at all.

Though I am not a Christian fundamentalist by far, I do believe in the Pentacost, that is, the mystical experience associated with the 'tongues of fire' which is possession by the Holy Ghost. I have had that experience and acknowledge its profound and long-reaching effects.
Granted, there are those who have gone before me who have dealt with Spirit communication more in-depth than I, so in part, I yield to their guidance. I end with this note:

The bible warns us to:

"Beloved, believe not every spirit, but try the spirits whether they are of God: because many false prophets are gone out into the world." (1 John 4:1-5).

I think this reservation is based, in part, on an approach that tends to separate reality into dualistic camps, thus creating oppositions, that is, suggesting that God is of only one dimension of reality, and not the whole, i.e., just of good but not evil. I believe evil as evil does and that it does not belong in a separate reality, unreachable in terms of changes. Everyone is redeemable, even the worst among us. The bible teaches this in its deepest Spiritual messages.

Unfortunately, the former approach does not allow for growth or changes from within the Spirit world--which do occur. Once we pass over we don't stop evolving into a new person. Even there we can grow and transform into a spiritually centered Self. Our identity is only one pinpoint of light within a gestalt. In fact, I have interacted with my father whom I had problems with in this life, but in the Spirit World we worked it out, and I could see that he had changed.Not only do we benefit in terms of the power of forgiveness to transform, but so do the Spirits we interact with.

Growth goes on and we become new people and so do others. Interaction continues with the Spirit World continuously, whether we know it or not, so take heart, even if you seem to fail in your efforts at Spirit communication, at some level the specific reasons for this communication with those who have passed over will always go on.

Blessed be!

REALITY SQUARED

The infinite circle
The reach of the mind
The meaning of life
The arrow of time
The end of the road
The soul that we save
The luckier person
The rest in the grave
The highest achiever
The lowest IQ
The species that’s smarter
The life that we’re due
The pick of the litter
The best of the best
The most gifted artist
The taste of success
The fastest sprinter
The slowest of all
The reason for winning
The distance we fall
The pride that we cherish
The beauty we boast
The maker of magic
The year that we toast
The cleverest liar
The one who got away
The king of the world
The prices we pay
Are all whimsical fancy
Of measurements mind
O’er make believe thinking
And yesterdays wine.
