Investigate Social Constructs

Consider an entire society that collectively BELIEVES in things that are actually NOT REAL. Then consider what issues or problems might arise from an entire people RELATING to these fabrications AS IF THEY WERE ACTUALLY REAL!

And, what would happen if these people recognized that they had been lied to, in order to be socially controlled by a few aristocrats whose families had been "in power" for generations.

These few elite hold the majority of "wealth" and desire to keep it that way. That means keeping the majority under the illusion that they are powerless to change this imbalance.

And so, this ruling class implemented methods of distracting the masses. They kept them stupefied and convinced them of falsehoods that they then collectively accepted on faith and agreed were true.

... and then imagine if they broke out of the illusion and discovered they were actually FREE!

Certain social constructions might surprise you if you've never thought about society in scientific or sociological terms before.

Here's a list, just to name a few. Can you list more?

- Government: this one they REALLY want you to believe, Sheeple.

- Organized Religions

- Marriage ... nobody has ever had a "relationship." It doesn't exist. Really? Show IT to me!

- Time? Really? Alive for 50 years? SHOW ME 50 yrs!
     - "The Clock Game":
5 o'clock? It never has been.
      - "The Calendar Game": September is made-up. And, it's not 2015!
          Accept Reality, and you'll never have another Monday morning again. No Saturday either.
       Truth: There is no Time. (There's really no Space either. But, that topic is beyond the scope of this post).

- Family

- Education: there are no Degrees or Certifications.

- Gender

- Race

- Power

- Sexuality

- Deviance

- Technology

- Femininity and Masculinity

- Patriotism and Nationalism: there is no America and no Texas in Reality.

- Status. Class. Socio-economic levels. Middle Class? Nope!

- Intelligence: No one is smarter or dumber than anyone else.

- Money: it's just paper.

... notice that part of you that does not want to accept the truth. We were born into this psych ward. We have invested our entire lives into it! This can't be!

Guess what?
THE TRUTH IS ...
There's NO one in charge. There is NO Authority over you.
You can think for yourself.
You can walk around just like any of the other animals can.
You can live your life by YOUR OWN Rules!

LIES:
- You gotta go to school to get a good job.
- You gotta make a lot of money to be Happy.
- You gotta work at least 40 hours a week ... 50 or 60 if you really wanna succeed.
- You NEED that money, that car, that house, that job, that beer, that TV, that vacation, that girl, those clothes, those toys, blah, blah, blah.

QUESTION EVERYTHING!
No one can do it for you.
THINK dialectically.

When you wake up, everything changes. You will comprehend the word Freedom and you will know Peace. Just like in the Matrix when Neo finally KNEW ... he could freeze bullets in the air.

FREE YOUR MIND!

Overcome Procrastination NOW!

"Overcoming Procrastination" has absolutely NOTHING to do with waiting for the right time when I "feel like doing it," or "trying to make myself feel like doing it." THAT WILL NEVER, EVER HAPPEN. EVER! I have already proven that. 

In fact, that is actually part of the problem, and only serves to make the problem worse. 

However, the solution might have EVERYTHING to do with asking myself the right questions. 

Have big enough WHY and the What, When, Where, Who, How and How Often will take care of themselves. 

The sole presence of THE WHY, being alive in The Present, will resolve each of the other questions in each moment of NOW. God will guide me along the way ... the right thoughts, words and actions will be provided at precisely the right time, no sooner or later. I trust Him completely. 

So, those future moments are presently none of my concern. WHAT A RELIEF!

What are the fundamental, core values of my life? (answering this will take several hours with pen and paper). 

In what priority do these core values hold, in specific order? (ie: Family comes before Work). 

How can I schedule my time and my activities so that they align with my core Commitments? (this is real Integrity) ... and therefore, live the life I love?  

• Get fully acquainted with my "Future Self." (write it down). 
... Who will I be a week from now? ... a month, year, 2 years, 5 yrs, 10 yrs, 20 yrs, 30 yrs, 50 yrs?

If you're old enough to read this, then you prolly  never imagined that YOU WOULD EVER ACTUALLY BE THIS OLD! If not, then it is soon to come. And, FAST! Might as well have fun and play the game to win, right?

(Tip: you will get a terminal disease, or get hit by a truck and die, and lose everything you ever had, loved, cherished, including your family, all your loved ones and friends, and every possession you ever thought you owned.)

How ya like me now?

    :)

Ahem. 

Back to Future Self:
Consider that he ALREADY EXISTS inside you, in the Spiritual Realm ...

... What does he look like?
... What does his life look like?
... How does he spend his time?
... What does he experience on a day-to-day basis?
... What are his specific circumstances: Work, Family, Romance, Finance, Leisure, Spirituality, Satisfaction, Fulfillment, Happiness, etc. 

What, SPECIFICALLY, does my "Future Self" want me to complete along the way, so that he WILL live that life he loves? 

• What are the "Specific MEASURABLE Results" that are REQUIRED to produce that pre-determined, final outcome?

(What "Present Self" wants to do now will only lead to a miserable Future Self ... which will soon become Present Self).  

What specific tasks need to be scheduled IN A FUNCTIONAL Time Management tool (analog or digital daily planner)? 
... with specific deadlines, completion of sub goals,  necessary for realization of Ultimate Goal. 

Oh, if you are a Perfectionist ... deal with it! Afraid to make a mistake? ... DEAL! You CAN get over it and LIVE. 

Happy, successful people seek out failure and learn from it. It is required curriculum. 

Just be Average. Just do passing work ... just suit-up and show-up, and leave the results up to God. 

One last tip: "The very next thing to do is NEVER hard."

Well, that's enough for now. If you are not TOTALLY AND COMPLETELY IN LOVE WITH ALL OF LIFE, then you are doing it wrong. 


God Bless!

Illusion

How can you tell if an illusion is not real?  

You can't. That's the definition of illusion ... I AM ABSOLUTLY, 100% POSITIVE that the world IS, and you ARE exactly the way I SEE IT. PERIOD.  
(The Myth of IS, BECAUSE and I).  

Time and Space are illusions. The REAL Reality is beyond this world of form, and I can experience this Truth.  

Every "-ology" is a study of nothing. Everybody sees the movie on the screen, thinking it's real, trying to change the projected image, while the source of the problem is back in the 
projector room.  

That means that we are simply dreaming. "The World" was over long ago, and every problem I think I have now has already been solved.  

Granted, it's the true definition of Illusion ... To be an illusion, it has to appear 100% real ... just like in a sleeping dream, no matter how bizarre or impossible the events, we never question it's validity while were in the dream state ... RIGHT? 
Same here.  

Question everything. Then question your questioning. And then question it again ... and again ... 

... not IN ORDER TO find THE answer or "The Truth." That's just more of the illusion, the entire ego thought system. 

Let it go. Turn away from what seems real. Instead, turn to that which seems unreal.

Nothing Changes

Remember on Xmas day? ... when the phone rang, and you heard that voice you hadn't heard in so long?

As you listened, you realized how much you love him/her. Y'all had the best of times together. You really miss him, and think about him often. 

He was (and still is) one of your cheerleaders, who was a real friend when you needed one. 

Before you hung up, you may have told him how good it was to talk, and asked that he keep in touch and that y'all talk more often. 

After you hung-up, all those other faces appeared in your minds eye ... you said to yourself, "I'm gonna call ________, and wish him a Merry Christmas ... and, then I'll call _______."  

But, you didn't. You got busy with all the activity in the house, and there "just wasn't any time." When it got "too late" to call, you put it on your mental TO DO list for tomorrow. 

Tomorrow came and went ... and the next day. You never called. 

Guess what, today's gonna be a repeat of yesterday, and tomorrow ... Until YOU ARE ONE MORE YEAR OLDER, and that phone will ring on Xmas day 2014. 

How do I know? Cuz, it was the same story last year and the year before and the year before that. Someday that call will stop coming.  

HOW DO I KNOW? Cuz, that's my life, too! And, UNLESS there is something to interrupt your slumber, the cycle will repeat itself. 

Admit it ... You have already forgotten about making that call, right? IF NOTHING CHANGES, NOTHING CHANGES. 

So, I'm asking you ... begging you ... PLEADING WITH YOU ... to please make that call. Just do it right now, okay?

The truth is, that YOU HAVE A LIST of people that you love and miss, don't you? Stop wondering WHY you don't call, AND JUST CALL! 

CALL NOW!

JUST CALL NOW!

JUST CALL RIGHT NOW! 

SERIOUSLY, RIGHT THIS VERY MOMENT!


Just please ... call now.

Be Good to All People, Always, in All Ways

Why is it that it seems (to me) to be impossible to be good to all people, all of the time?

I just got back from the store. I decided to spread this Xmas cheer to the clerk.

I wished him a merry Xmas, and acknowledged him for being there when I needed him ... working a full day, while the rest of us have the day off.

We had a nice little chat. It made a difference for me, and I think for him, too. We met as strangers, and left as friends.

Being good to people makes me feel good. It's actually FUN!

I hope to be as generous in a month from now.

No Expectations

Try living expectation-free. 

People do what they do. They run around, planning, dreaming, defending and justifying. They laugh, they cry and they feel.

They all behave and treat you more or less as you would expect them to. Sometimes they exceed your expectations. But, sometimes they don't meet YOUR expectations. 

And, that's when we feel perfectly justified to get angry and tell them how they're doing it wrong. Who's expectation was it in the first place? 

I have no idea what this person is going thru. And, suddenly I'm judging them for sinning in a different way than my own personal brand of sinning. 

The point is that I set the whole thing in motion by bringing MY EXPECTATION to the table. It's like I have a "pre-meditated judging" just waiting for someone to show up so I can spring it on them! ... when they least expect it!

Understanding this, I reclaim my power. I am not a victim anymore. I am responsible. I have the power to dissolve this pity party by leaving my expectations aside. 

So, if something out there ... some person or some situation ... is not to your liking, then turn your focus around to the real source of the problem ... YOU!

That may sound like bad news, but it's really The Good News. 


Change your expectations and watch the world transform before your eyes. Don't just take my word for it. Try it and see for yourself!
