Cannot be forced...

Constantly, the system is the problem with the cogs turning and coming together correctly. The constant grind of the cogs in a wheel missing and not fitting in place will constantly disrupt the general movement of the machine… The constant turning in hope that the cogs will someday just come together peacefully and agree will never happen, but it will happen in waves. When will it be that the elitists and people so high up realize that the cogs of this machine of life can not be ground down to fit together? How much grinding does it take until one of the cogs just stops and welds with another cog? The teeth of the cogs will not be ground down to fit together, they will only stay themselves as they are made of steel and will only fit together when the structure of the machine is well made! When the structure of the machine is well made, then and only then, will the cogs of the machine work together cohesively and with minimal problems, as all machines have…

A DATE TO REMEMBER, FRIDAY THE 18th OF NOVEMBER!!!

I usually don't post personal experiences like this on my blog, but I felt that this was necessary...

Thursday November 18, on the UC DAVIS main quad area where many students gather peacefully to talk and eat lunch and just generally hang out, was turned into Occupy UC Davis. At 3 o'clock, at the center of the quad around 70-80 UC Davis students put up 30 tents to occupy public space. By our rights as students and Americans we have the right to assemble, but putting up tents supposedly disrupted the daily activities of the public University. We made it through the night with the police watching vigilantly from all sides, but did not intervene due to a request from chancellor Katehi. We all awoke to a cold early morning and left our tents and did our daily business. Occupy UC Davis then held a general assembly at 12:00 noon to discuss future action. We were given an ultimatum to leave the quad at 3:00 o'clock. As most of the tents remained present even after the 3 o'clock deadline the atmosphere began to become unnerving. We were addressed by the chief of police of UC Davis to please vacate the area or be subject to arrest. Almost all stayed and held their ground. As 30 to 35 riot police armed with batons, pepper spray, and rubber bullet guns (and guns) started to march towards us, we took the majority of our tents threw them in a circle and surrounded them in solidarity with arms linked. The riot police began to approach our circle and showed the intention to arrest. As the circle began to chant "WHO'S UNIVERSITY, OUR UNIVERSITY" "WE ARE THE 99% and SO ARE YOU" it drew and motivated many other students to join in the cause. As the police began to rip through the human chain and disassemble and rip apart the tents in the middle of the circle, a new circle formed around the police and we the students began to chant "LET THEM GO" in hope to free the already arrested. The riot police at this point had no place to turn and with all the students chanting (peacefully) began to feel uncomfortable at the least. The main pathway to their paddy wagons and police squad cars had been blocked with a human chain. The police first threatened them to move to the side or they will be shot with rubber bullets, but then resorted to threaten us with pepper spray. Us the students taking up the main path of the police to get back to their vehicles then were pepper sprayed in the face with three big swipes!!! Fortunately, for me personally I was not shot directly in the face with pepper spray, but did catch the drift of it, which made me cough horrendously. Unfortunately, for many of my friends and comrades this was not the case and got direct shots of it... After this happened, the police made a dent in the human chain and began to move out of the circle. Students began to chant "SHAME ON YOU" and "WE ARE DOING THIS FOR YOUR CHILDREN"... As more and more students began to realize that this was a student cause and not just a bunch of crazy people camping on the quad of UC DAVIS they joined our cause with force and we had huge numbers chanting, "WHO'S UNIVERSITY? OUR UNIVERSITY!" Slowly the angered students began to chant and push the police out of the quad and recapture the space that is publicly ours!!! Eventually the police receded and the student body reclaimed the campus... 12 NOON on the Quad on Monday will be the beginning of a new Occupy UC DAVIS... It should be interesting!

Please watch the two links I will post here...

The first from CBS Sacrmento which is located towards the bottom of the page, just press play... : http://sacramento.cbslocal.com/2011/11/18/officers-arresting-occupy-protesters-at-uc-davis/

This was an unfortunate event, hopefully this will help people realize the uneasiness we carry as students on a daily basis...

Truth

"The truth is lost among all the contradictions and absurdities" Bernardo Carvalho... The truth is something that can be so simply distorted. Distorted to the extent that will be manipulated to that person's benefit. The benefits of truth are something marvelous, but can be so difficult to obtain. The actual extent of truth that lies in this world is difficult to measure. The current problem with pinning down something to be 100% accurate or truthful, will be distorted by the person that has interpreted that subject and the person who will reinterpret it... These interpretations, in-turn, will then be flawed or changed to benefit that person or to possibly reflect the morals that this particular person embraces in every day life. This world is so full of hypocrites and people constantly contradicting themselves, it sometimes makes no sense at all. The truth is something that is obtainable, but at times can be difficult to grasp. Currently the human race is seeing a convergence of ideas on the international stage, with the constant compression downwards to suppress the modern human being. Currently, in the world, people from multiple countries all can relate to each other, and relate to each other well. With the relation between people being so easily established and having common morals and values in mind, a suppression towards the common person will be eventually unobtainable unless people continue to blind themselves towards movements and realities that exist. Sometimes people choose to accept what goes on around them, and sometimes people do not. It has proved again and again throughout history that a monumental event proves to be the turning point to human evolution. Possibly, the time is not now, but I am optimistic towards everything, and it is impossible to ensure that powerful organizations will always control the world. Awareness is key, and awareness will eventually lead to truth, at least we can hope for some part of the truth...

Words

Words can be used and abused and formed and deformed. Words can actually be dumped into your hands, and then you can throw them back into the air like pieces of confetti!!! Do whatever you want with them! Do as you wish and as you please. Do whatever want to please… Throw consonants, vowels, onomatopoeias, juxtapositions, transitions, compositions, anything you really want to. The limit that you feel is your limit is only the limit your own mind has placed upon your own personal limit! No human being has a real limit, unless you are dead? The true oppression is the mental oppression, the one that makes people believe that there is no possibility or ability of expansion. Limitations are made up in one’s mind, most likely from a mental block sustained from a previous experience. The previous experience being so detrimental that it knocked one’s equilibrium so far out of whack that one’s center seems so far from being graspable that it is seemingly lost. What does it take to knock someone’s equilibrium back into place? Does it take a dichotomy? Does it take a near death experience? Or is it simply something simple that brings something of a click into place that wakes someone up, making them understand that they already had the predisposition for this historic moment? Now mixing words with this realization can be a truly eye opening experience. The formation of words from your own mental capacity to possibly bring your own thoughts can be a difficult task to convey the message that is truly wanted out in the world. Sometimes words flow and sometimes they are slow. Sometimes they get mixed up and work like puzzles, each fitting with each other, but only after a lot of time of trial and error will they work together. Is it possible that words are what has caused the limitations to the human brain? If we completely abolished words and people possessed the power of telepathy would this be an advantage or would we lose the substance of what it means to be human? To be human means to fail daily and learn and grow from those experiences, if words were not there and it was so easy to convey the message to one another, could evolution as a species be truly possible?

Copying

Does it seems like many people enjoy to copy other people? With phrases, slogans, or something that brings back a certain memory? What point in history did we begin as a society to conduct ourselves in a manner where our daily speech patterns and the way we act and sometimes even move are copied from TV shows, Movies, or people we notice? Does every culture do this? Well according to social psychology some more than others. What makes it so that to be noticed a simple copy or reference to something that was previously performed will draw attention? This draws back to a prior thought that was all about originality, and if any thoughts, actions, or anything we do is actually original? I guess my big question is, does the mere copying decrease our originality or does it heighten it? Does it improve ourselves or restrict our mental capacity? Does simply copying or mimicking decrease our possibility to think outside the box? Obviously we do not walk around like complete zombies and constantly mimic and copy people with every action, but my broader question is, if copying or mimicking disappeared would more ingenuity or new ideas come about due to the disappearance of the habit of copy?

Inspiration

Today I had someone say, "you must have a lot of inspiration in the work and art you do because of the activities you do". Instantly I was tripping over my tongue not really able to follow up on that, and instantly I understood what did inspire me, and it was life! It is not the activities like surfing, biking, or playing a round of disc golf, but it was life in the general sense. It is the beauty of life that is truly my inspiration. It is not that someone has something more or better in their head, but we all have something amazing in all our heads. The innovation that helps people improve themselves and create something different. Inspiration is not fueled by a simple activity, but is fueled by the possibilities that exist. My inspiration comes from everywhere, and ultimately I think that is where most people believe it to come from as well. It is possible that we believe that our inspirations come from one small little thing, but ultimately how could you even perceive that certain thing without of understanding a very detailed and complicated history of many objects that ultimately led up to you understanding that exact moment in time that you actually became inspired. The collection of memories mixed with the new and actually truly understood and appreciated. Ultimately, it seems that inspiration is truly in some sense of an appreciation for something, expressed through your means of expression.

Theatetus of Plato

Thought I might put a paper that I did last quarter on the Theaetetus of Plato...


When making claims to knowledge, if the past or future is not considered or taken into account, then an important part of any argument has been forgotten. Protagoras claims to be an expert in teaching virtue. As carpenters teach the trade of carpentry, Protagoras taught rhetoric and how to be successful in the eyes of the public. Protagoras being one of the first great sophists he distinguished himself as being an expert in the field and is widely known for his idea behind the measure doctrine. In the Theaetetus, Protagoras states that ultimately all our beliefs are equally true and truth is relative to the individual. Ultimately, Protagoras’ claim to expertise is not in agreement with the idea that all beliefs are equally true, to better convey this I will use Socrates’ objection that you cannot apply the Protagoras’ claims to future judgments, which in-turn displays how Protagoras’ claim is self-refuting.
If Protagoras claims to be an expert then he possesses knowledge that is more true than the knowledge another person possesses, but if he claims that all our beliefs are equally true then nobody can be an expert. If truth is relative to a person and a person thinks and believes their thought is true, how is it that Protagoras’ thought or belief is truer than that person? The better understanding of what it means to be an expert is necessary in this case. To be an expert entails that the certain person knows extensive and in depth knowledge on the subject that they are preaching. To be at the level of an expert, a person will be looked up at in the eyes of the public and offer something that others cannot. An expert is someone who believes they either understand or possess knowledge that can be beneficial to other people and their understanding of something will help other people understand that particular subject. This is when crossroads meet: by Protagoras stating that he is an expert entails that he has beliefs in which are truer than other people’s beliefs, but according to Protagoras stating that he believes in something also states that he believes that another person’s beliefs that Protagoras’ beliefs in something is false, is true.
In the Theaetetus, Socrates takes on the role of Protagoras and sheds light on how Protagoras would defend his position on expertise and his understanding of beliefs. Burnyeat conveys how Protagoras’ idea that all our beliefs are equally true and that being an expert does not affect this. By comparing Protagoras to a doctor, it understands the idea of an expert as someone who makes one’s perceptions overall better or improved. It is also understood that this does not conflict with the measure doctrine because what we feel and think is true for that person is still true for that person, but is better at this point (pg. 23). The important point to understand with this position is that the overall the expert does not wish to change one’s perceptions because their perceptions are true for them, but only make an improvement on the perception. Burnyeat uses an analogy that seems to fit well: as if one’s eyesight is improved. According to Protagoras an expert overall is someone who can change bad appearances to good ones. He then uses the example of a sick man who sees food as being bitter, and the healthy man as seeing food as scrumptious (166de). Therefore the expert in this situation would be a doctor. The doctor does not change the perception of food as a whole, but makes it better. He creates the perception of food as being good with the use of drugs and help people have a better perception towards a specific situation. Protagoras at this point though would make sure of distinguishing the difference between something that is better and something that is truer. Protagoras according to Socrates would explain that the expert is not making anything truer, but he is simply making it better. Truer is the idea that something is different or has to take on a different role in a perception or change the perception, not necessarily making it solemnly better (167c). It seems that, at this point, Protagoras would have made himself clear at what he has meant to convey as someone being an expert. This in turn to him does not conflict with the measure doctrine or what is seen as all our beliefs are equally true, because he still regards all beliefs as being true, just that he, an expert, can make true beliefs somewhat better in a fashion. Protagoras’ position would then be to save his measure doctrine theory by taking the path “In this way we are enabled to hold both that some men are wiser than others, and also that no man judges what is false” (167d). By not being able to judge the wiser, man is not able to accuse someone of false perception, and accuse someone of being incorrect. Therefore, at this point all perceptions are still correct, but the expert, or wiser person, can build upon a perception and make it better or somewhat alter the perception. Socrates’ main objection to Protagoras’ claim is that you cannot apply it to future judgments.
In particular, Socrates’ main argument towards Protagoras’ is one of future judgments, and that future judgments are based around the idea of objective truth. Socrates makes a point of conveying how are we to understand the future if we cannot be in the future at that moment. Socrates begins with the example of heat, and how one man might believe that he will get a fever, but a different man, a doctor, believes in the opposite that the man will not get a fever. Socrates then makes it clear that how this would not be possible to happen at the same time. For if all perceptions are true perceptions, then both perceptions of the future cannot happen at the same moment, and both men cannot be equally correct if the man will have a fever or if he will not. (178c). If there are two men, and they can both have judgments about the future and what it will come to be, how is it possible that both of them can be correct about a future judgment? Therefore, these people are not depending on the mind for an actual judgment, but merely making a prediction about what is to be, eventually. “Protagoras’ stance would then be: no prediction is ever proved wrong, just as no memory is ever inaccurate. All that happens is it seems to one self at one time that something will be true (or has been true), and seems to another self at another time that something different is true” (SEP). This claim will be then falsified if the man does not have a fever in the future, maybe tomorrow, or will be falsified if the doctor was incorrect and the man did eventually have a fever. At this point the future perspective of an individual is not of importance, because if the future self is correct then he happened to be correct, but was not considered knowledge, but what would be called a prediction of what was to be. If the individual incorrectly perceived what was to be in the future by looking back to the past, then the individual had a false belief. To help shed light on Socrates’ overarching idea he uses Protagoras’ profession as an example, “No one would have paid large fees for the privilege of talking with him if he had not been in the habit of persuading his pupils that he was a better judge than any fortune-teller—or anyone else—about what was going to be and seem to be in the future” (179a). By Protagoras’ viewpoint being, an expert is one that will be able to facilitate the possibility of understanding the future and well being of the future. The problem with this is the future, and, if incorrect, then the expertise of that person has been negated. Therefore, if the man believed that he was going to get a fever in a week, but the man was incorrect, then Protagoras has no way of defending the perception of a false belief that would happen in the future.
The understanding of Protagoras’ Measure doctrine and the combination of expertise is ultimately self-refuting. If an individual has one perception on how they will be in the future as one way, but someone makes a judgment of how that person will be in the future a different way, then a belief of the future cannot be in alignment with all beliefs being equally true.

Education in the United States

Here at the U.C. system students are expected to pay astronomical fees and take out loans, if the money is not around or had been dealt to you through family. Most countries in the world have a system that revolves around the idea that education should be provided to the ones that are willing to work hard and not ones that are able to simply pay. This is why I would like to declare U.C. to stand for Uninhibited Capitalism!!! I mean paying astronomical fees only perpetuates the capitalist system and limits our freedom to pursue what we truly wish to do. We go to school, take out loans, then get a job as quick as possible so that we will be able to start paying them off and not be charged extra. The cost of a decent reputation will potentially cost you the rest of your life, or in a sense cost you your life. The perplexities that are intertwined within our system are ones that automatically perpetuate the system. It is not only in the UC system it is very much apparent within the united states in general. How is it possible that wages have no possibility to keep up with rising tuition? I understand that currently California is having some problems currently, but wouldn't it just make sense to just tax the movie industry and casinos more? When the government expects the university to act as a single entity within the system and only receive some support, doesn't it seem like there is something wrong with that system? It seems that it is being run to stay afloat, when automatically you would think the government would want to invest in the future and invest in the population that will eventually run a company, oops I meant country! Does this mean that in the United States morality is possibly missing? Investing in my educational life with monetary funds ultimately seems like an incredible hypocrisy! No wonder people are not going in to get a degree a lot of the time, when you have a system that forces you to invest something that will take you a good percentage of your working life to pay back...

Theory

What is the essence of a theory? Is it an idea of originality? Is originality the key factor present within a theory? The most important pieces of the puzzle to the understanding of a theory is an open mind? While all of these are questions to understand when thinking about a theory, from my perspective the most important thing to grasp when beginning to try to understand a theory and with trying to understand any subject matter is to look at it in the most basic form possible. When understanding water what do we look to? The basic components of it which are H20... Through this set of systemic processes you are able to understand how the simplicity can lead to the larger. The inherent drive within all people is the understanding of all things abstract. Through the understanding of the abstract the possibility of enlightenment of knowledge can truly be possible. The many pieces of ideas that it takes to create a theory can be immense, but a wondering that I have is the possibility of a simple theory. One that is created from a very simple set of ideas, but facilitates the possibility of curiosity and wandering... Theory is what our world revolves around and has for centuries. Everything that exists in this world is constantly being thought out and specifically theorized in the abstract. So really it seems that only through the abstract are we able to understand simplicity...

Manifestation of a thought....

The thought that is manifested within comes from which location? Which location does a thought originally come from? The most simple and plain answer that I can come up with is past experiences. You might not see it, but the thoughts we are constantly producing is only the combination and culmination of many thoughts to create an overall great thought. The epitome of a thought comes down to multiple pieces of a puzzle to create one finalized puzzle. The difficult thing as with any thought is the changing of the picture on that puzzle. Thoughts change and evolve constantly, kind of like an ever ripening fruit, but it is only later that you will find out if that fruit has been eaten or decomposed and rotted away. The funniest part of understanding what a thought is and the culmination of a thought is the idea of how our thought process thinks out a thought and how it is actually mentally manifested as well. Without the alter ego to support your thought, question, second guess, and analyze this thought you would not be able to have any thoughts. As soon as you think of something the human mind is constantly analyzing and scrutinizing this thought and wondering if it will be acceptable in the realm of society where you have grown up or currently reside. Without having an alter ego you wouldn't have many good thoughts at all, and I would go as far as to say that you might not actually have any coherent thoughts at all. As human beings like to attribute and understand themselves as constantly being stable in their mind and somewhat normal we are all really just a little bit crazy. Don't we all speak to ourselves, whether it be on a subconscious level or on a conscious level? Just by thinking out loud or in your head you have really just established a second person because at that point are you speaking in the second person? Are you saying I? I know that when I think to myself I am constantly speaking towards myself through the you and I, as in the first and second person. The realization of how a thought is procreated only helps the individual scrutinize their own thought, but since you have already subconsciously scrutinized your thought then most likely you have already a somewhat polished thought that is only being polished consciously.

Taking a Break

What is in a break? Is a break a moment away from life? Isn't this your life? What exactly are you breaking from? Breaking from thinking too hard? Thinking too much? Thinking too long? So you have worked hard all day and you say you deserve something, what is it, possibly a break? Why do you deserve a break? Is a break the escape from reality into the dream world or second reality that people wish to live in daily? What are the things that entertain you, distractions? So when you take a break are the distractions that are helping you take a break really just a distraction from true reality? Do you want to live in a dream land or on earth? Does the abstraction of reality through distractions regress your intelligence? The understanding that we all live presently on this earth in this space and in this time is incorrect. Every person has their own space and own time due to perception, so can I even say that a distraction is for you as it is for me? Is it truly a distraction from reality if two people agree on it? If society perceives it as entertaining and manipulates our reality do we actually at that moment agree upon a truth and what is something? A break is in the mind. It is an abstraction of your consciousness and how you perceive reality. I took a break, but what did I take a break from?

To Each His Own?

A gripe with the phrase “To Each His Own”. I have a problem with the phrase “To Each His Own”. I mean truly everyone, think about it, what does that term actually mean? Isn’t it that it is an actual laziness to actually stating one’s opinion and is truly just the typical American attitude of everyone lets just get along. We are a melting pot and the only thing that will help us prosper is just accepting other people and their ignorant opinions? I agree with peace absolutely and it is one of my fundamental ideologies in life and a want for the world to act peacefully towards each other. The problem I have with “To Each His Own” is the idea that it bypasses true great conversation that can end up to be thoughtful and detailed conversation that makes people think and actually have cognitive processes and the discovery of other people’s cognitive processes. When I have an opinion and someone doesn’t like that and tells me, “To Each His Own” Really? Come on! Argue against me, tell me that you don’t agree with me, don’t tell me “To Each His Own”. That is a passive mind that really has no interest to experience life then. One important thing to distinguish for this, is, the fact that I am not writing off all people’s opinions and the minor ones that are irrelevant in daily life or about personal opinions about certain things for example, food, or personal taste, or personal perceptions of objective goodness. Basically, when I hear someone say to me “To Each His Own” has basically run out of things to say and has no strong arguments or really does not have much of an opinion and is possibly distracted by things that are irrelevant to things that are in the moment and the present space you are occupying in time. If you cannot argue and discuss subjects and try to consider both sides of the picture and possibly open your mind to a new perception, or try to influence another’s within the seconds of our lives that dictate our attitudes towards the outside world and eventually manifest themselves, then I cannot say that I wish to have a conversation with you. Be argumentative, say something back and disagree. You should not think that you cannot be friends with someone because they have some different opinions. Isn’t it important to surround yourself with peers that somewhat do not always agree with you? That way you can keep your mind open and realize that you are not always correct! Nobody is always correct and nobody is always wrong. When you strive closer to understanding this, then you will realize that through the collaboration of argument and discussion new paradigms will develop, which will only lead to a higher understanding of life…

Originality?

Does originality exist? Has originality or the mere thought of originality been merely constructed to form an illusion of greatness? An illusion of greatness that we can be and will be different and therefore perpetuate the continuance of the ideologies of society? I believe that in some sense true originality does exist, but then again true originality does not exist. The problem with something being able to exist and not exist at the same time is that how can something be and not be at the same time? It is because specifically dealing with time and the moment in space time that something can be and not be at the same time. Therefore, originality does exist sometimes and does not exist other times. Is originality simply a compilation of ideas put together in a new order to claim the right to originality? Or is it simply a brand new thought? It seems to imagine that anything could actually be a brand new thought because how would we know if these so-called original thoughts might be stemming from our subconscious? The point that I would like to make is that originality is perception.... Perception is what purely drives originality and how that originality is viewed by society. Is it not what others believe that dictate how your own idea or supposed originality is original? Originality, do I have any? Do I need any? Does anyone need any?

A True Ramble

and the actualization of the thoughts that can actually assume our way into the present can actually be seen into the fullest of the fullest of the fullest ways of being able to be able to be... too much and it will make you go crazy, and then warp, and warp into, and warp where? And warp only under there! Only under there will you be able to be able to think, keep thinking and don't stop! Thinking is important but the only important thing to understand that the thing that mostly resembles the most important inner thought of the complexion of the mysterious act of the unknown is the unknown. Only to the unknown will the forethought of the forethought of the front be fully aware to your fullest imagination that will be able to continue on the path of everlasting fullestness to the eternal and to the mindscape that is not always to the most impossible units of the dimension of reality.

We will see that the fullest part of our mind or brain is really not full or complete. Only because we have been programmed to think that we are full or complete. Can we be goldfish, can we attempt to look at things from a new perspective of digestion? Only through the moment of digestion that we are able to see the most intricate detail and then, boom, explosion into our mind that is inescapable, because inescabability is truly non-existent! Truly it is not existent, that the only way we can think of the most thinking that is possibly thinkable is that we must have a free mind, that is mostly irrelevant from other thought! Is that original thought? Irrelevant and non-tied to another subject or mouse! Non-tied to anything, non-tied to a subject once predisposed! But then here comes the sub consciousness. The sub consciousness is seriously just non aware, we do, we do, we do, and then we do, and we didn’t know that we did! We did and then we do, and then we didn’t know that we did, and then the thought actually just comes from the mind unexpectedly, and then the most intricate thoughts comes to mind from one spark of the imagination! One spark of the imagination and that spark is spark! BOOOOOMMMMMM! We can only see that the one spark will be sparked by nothing, by the sub-consciousness the subconscious thought that you didn’t even know you had that you thought was original and you thought was truly yours and oh so great, and your intellectual property was truly allll yours, but was it? Because nobody else said it? Oh wait!!! Someone else did say it! Someone else did say it absolutely, and you know where it is? IN YOUR SUBCONSCIOUS! It is stuck in there, there, it is there absolutely, and the thought that the most fullest thought is there , and that it isn’t original upsets people! We want to be original and new and something special and something new and great and awesome! BUTTT guess what, sometimes we aren’t and then again sometimes WE are! We truly are all special in the end, and then sometimes that we think we aren’t we are! And are we aren’t and we are and we aren’t and we are and we are and we are. From the only thing that ill ever be able to be think is that the one that will be thought, and your subconscious will actually just boom out things that you didn’t think you knew but it isn’t yours! It is not! Or is it?

Vivid prism

SO it does work… It works, can something work and not work at the same time? Double standards exist? YES, double standards do exist, I think that the furthest thing that is possible in the human cognition is the right to expel the possibility of the impossible, and treat it as the correct way to go, and without this right or wrong way to go, then it comes and it goes and then comes and goes. It is by this type of flow that we are able to start to practice in another dimension, start to think in a new way, and then start to believe in a new way. We will have found the ultimate point of perfection once we are able to begin to see light or at least clear colors. It is only from the thinnest point of importance that it is the same possibility that we are constant. Without consistency then we are able to have a much more pure and creative profile and see what we see as true. It is only through the realization of light that someone can see the possibility of thinning go to a capacity that it is possible for pure thought to arise. It is a belief that the trueness of guilt and trueness of truth can only be exponentially explained through a minor perspective, because once one person thinks they understand what is possible that will happen, then only is it ever more easy for them to try to comprehend a subject. It is only through the intriguing of a subject that one person might actually be interested, only if one person stays interested for an actual normal moment of time, which is one’s life, and by the way, that takes a lot of patience. We will only see at that point a true event really occur. Before the grappling of the possibility of the truth happens, then we will see nonsense rain upon us all and grapple society and culture.

Rain

Rain, rain, rain. What a great day for rain. Why should it be sunny when it can be rainy? Rain moistens, dampens, wetens, and even purifies the earth. Rain can make you happy even though it has a stigma of making people gloomy. Rain is great, don't you think so too? Water does not hurt anybody. When it touches your skin it is only refreshing and clean. Getting your clothes wet will not hurt your soul or your mind. Raindrops, puddles, ponds, wetlands, mini-lakes, lakes, rivers, seas, the world, all benefit from rain. Without rain what would we do? It would be one big desert, which would be incredibly dry - which sounds a tad boring personally. Most people condemn you rain because they cannot play, rain rain go away come back another day. I say rain rain come hither, it is you that makes me happy as well as the sun. It is like a great relationship which gives us the resources to let us all survive. Rain can let you concentrate, rain can let you think, rain can even help some people sleep, there are so many benefits to rain. The water that drips down all the roofs and sides of houses, eventually making the journey through the never-ending array of pipes that stream through the underground and eventually take the enormous breath of freedom as it is released into the river and eventually to sea, aaahhhhhh. Hither and stay, you can go away but come back another day.

What if the world was upside down?

What if the world was upside down? Would it have a global shift in powers? Or would we just look at the world in a different way. If North was South, and East was West, I think it would have a dramatic effect on the way in which we perceive everything. Do we have internal compasses? The ancient civilizations of Mesoamerica related direction with color, what if we do that on a subconscious level? Would our colors be all thrown off, or even possibly color blind? It almost seems unthinkable to imagine a world where we see the not above us but below us. Maybe hierarchy within the world has been structured in the Northern part of the world, where the Southern parts of the world are just truly below the super powers of the world, figuratively and literally. If this was the case, would the US and Europe be where Australia, the Southern part of South America, and the Southern part of Africa are currently? Would we believe that being north is inferior? Would South be superior? It is all perception, and the way we look at things, there is no one way or other way, it is just a classification to help us circumnavigate the globe. We are a ball, a ball spinning and spinning and spinning, once we get past borders, and lines, and dots, we will see that we are all truly on a place that technically has no end, there is no end or corners on a ball, it is round! A spherical object that keeps spinning in time, Earth has no judgements on people with different skin color or cultures, why should we?

Racialization

Don't Racialize yourself, don't profile, don't stereotype, don't pigeonhole yourself, don't categorize, don't label, don't tag, don't make a cliché out of yourself, make yourself yourself, but don't conventionalize yourself!!!

Weather

Please do not speak to me about the weather. Do not insult me by starting a conversation that starts with how much rain we had, do we not have better things to talk about? When you first meet someone, and the only thing that person can talk about is some hum drum subject like the weather or general subjects such as this, you know instantly that that particular person has no interest in you or the people around them. I know there is rain, and I know there is snow, and I know there is sun, it all exists, but please don't we have something better to talk about? Trust me, trust me, I am sure there is...

President's Day

Well today is presidents day... What a glorious day celebrating the nations first president, George Washington and other president Abraham Lincoln. They were such amazing people (ya because I knew them so well personally). That is the funniest part to me is celebrating dead people. Yes they had some great achievements but to me it seems that really they are just a couple of dead dudes. If they would have never made it to the presidency it seems to me we would have been celebrating the same holiday but with different names. What if the United States' first president was named Albert Kingsley Scottston. Wouldn't it seem to have just as much significance? And instead of Lincoln abolishing slavery what if a guy named Rupert Harold Docsmith had completed the job. The funniest part to me is that both of these gentlemen's birthdays do not even fall of February 21st. It is simply because they both have birthdays in the month of February that we celebrate this holiday on a completely arbitrary date. One thing that I would be curious about is the opinions of these late presidents, what would they think of our overly consumeristic, money hungry, capitalistic obsessive country? Would Washington think when he founded this nation, that oppressing helpless people with tyranny and obsessing about becoming the all time greatest Hegemon was in our best interest? Oh well, who cares, I get a day off from school right?

Class

In class.... Teacher lecturing, people texting, and people looking at their facebook page. Pay attention, should we? Talking about stats and important stuff for our lives? Or will this build upon to create a better life in our system? What are we learning? Are we being forced to learn this? Lecturing, words, letters, pieces of something that seems to matter.... I think it does. We are here, are we molecules? Kurtosis, skewed, and symmetric, funny goofy words of jargon that help us understand something. There are those days that we truly feel as if we are non-existant and the teacher is truly speaking in the Charlie Brown voice of horns and muffled mouths. Words that seem to make sense but go in one ear and fly out the next... School, everyday is not the same. I should pay attention...

Time

Time, time, time... I perceive time and you perceive time differently than I do. Therefore, nothing is synonymous? Nothing is equal, and nothing is original, or is everything original because of our perception? Time is conceptualized and digitized and quantified constantly, but in the end it truly comes down to what we make of our time and what we see in time, and how our perception effects the length of time we live... Time is here, and time is there, time is everywhere. Truly time does not exist, and time truly does exist. Why does one hour seem really fast one day, and one hour another day seem incredibly slowwwwwwwwwwwwww................ Time, it is a discussion throughout history that has to deal with every subject that has existed. Civilizations and cultures have put hierarchy into this world because of time. Obtaining time is something that is impossible. You cannot patent time, you cannot steal time, and you cannot buy time. What you can do is live in time, and in the moment, and in the present. Experience now, time, and your life will be much fuller. Everyone perceives time differently, what might seem like an hour for you, was a week for me.... Time is merely, how we perceive it!

Procrastination

So, I am a college student, and I am sure that I am in no different of a boat than any other student, in the sense that everyone procrastinates assignments and studying to some extent throughout their life. Now sometimes people are better than others at procrastinating, and really take it to the next level, leaving studying just till the last week of school right before Finals, which truly blows my mind. Procrastination is such a strange word. To procrastinate something means to delay something or put it off till another time. I have definitely completed this many times, and I feel great. Unfortunately, it doesn't always feel great. I feel as if some procrastination is always necessary in life to help push someone and get them motivated. What I am really getting to though is why do we procrastinate so hard? Is it all these cool little inventions, like the TV, computer, cell phones, or other random devices that are supposed to make our lives so much easier, but truly help us procrastinate more than we would without them? I understand there are ways of avoiding, but sometimes control can be harder for some people than others. How are your procrastination skills, and do they work on a daily basis?

True Honesty

I was checking out at the grocery store, and I overhear a child ask his mother,"Mom why is that lady so fat?", she answers the only way she can with, "well, she ate too much sweety." I not only started to laugh internally really hard, but also thought to myself how honest children are. What if the world revolved around that type of honesty? I mean it would seem to me that government would almost cease to function. But is this the big thing that separates children and adult? That adults are much better at being passive, and try not to pay attention to it. Or, is it that the more we evolve and grow in this world of fast paced technology, of lights, camera, action we just think about things for shorter amounts of time? Due to technology being all around us and having global communications at an all time high in the history of the human race, do we see that people are beginning to be able to pay attention less than before concerning one specific detail? I write this trying to pay attention to the details around me continuously... I have to say though I do enjoy the true honesty of a child. Straight to the point, states the obvious and doesn't care what someone thinks what they said. It is true that at times to be courteous one must be passive, but then again maybe the honest, harsh truth will actually bring a revelation to the person. Honesty hits, and hits hard, can you handle it?

Grades

How has it come to the point in time that literally and truly what a student or person is worth is a letter. A, B, C, D, F.... (Oh and by the way, what ever happened to E?) Letters that determine people, and how they are distinguished. Why can't you give the whole class an A or an F? If you are trying, doesn't it seem like you should be deserving of an A? I understand we need a system of being able to rank students, but I think that the system we currently have is not sufficient in the way of actually judging someone and how they actually work as a student and what to possibly they deserve. Doesn't it seem like our grading system revolves around capitalism? It seems to me as if a good grade is like a bonus check, except an A you can't spend on a new swimming pool. The thought of labeling and categorizing people so easily, disgusts me. Students that usually get really decent grades are the ones who follow strict instructions and never vere outside of the lines, which is unfortunate, because if anything it seems that if there is one thing we should be learning in class, it is independent thought and to always question and steer away from the norm that we are all expected to follow. I will now refer to a previous post of mine, Sheeple, be a sheeple and you get some grass. Stay inside the fence and you will have no problems. The synonymous ways of judging people it seems have come to a point in history that is far from how it should be. One thing you learn in one class, can be completely different in another. We have to adapt to each teacher and how they teach, but should we be forced to accept their interpretation? grades......

Executives

Everyone is an executive or wants to be an executive. Everyone thinks and wants and really truly desires to be an executive in our capitalistic system. This is unfortunate. Where in the process of being a human did you desire to work for a company that you have no relation to, and sell your body but never actually own anything. What do you own executives? Pieces of paper that have worth to buy something? Do you actually own anything, if you don't pay taxes on what you own won't you lose it? Everyone wants to be an executive. The dream is mistaken, the riches, the glamour, the fanciness of the good life, what is the good life? Good food, nice things? It is the title that inspires people, one day I will be an executive of a fortune 500. Give me a break, that title is not only not glamorous, but overall just kinda lame. People wishing to be an executive please make your life worth something more. How much are you worth?

Comma

I do not hate or dislike something as much as I dislike the Comma. The comma is filthy, disgusting, and horrid. It is this little tail that is at the bottom of the hierarchy of letters literally, oh horrid comma why can you not let me be? From the beginning of my memory commas have daunted my surroundings and put a black swelling of clouds around my happy atmosphere of fun. Commas, commas, commas, they seem so necessary, but at times they seem so not. Do I pause? Do I breathe? Do I think? Comma, what do you want? Why have you instilled this hatred upon me and daunting my life to the lowest of low, why do you seek to bring me to your level on the hierarchical scale? Why can't you just let me be one with my letters and stay in your place? Why do you have to direct my life and my speech? Why, why, why? Oh comma, do not rain on my parade of life, work with me and we will both be happier, and maybe you will rise up in life and become an apostrophe one day. Thank you, and no thank you comma,,,,,,,,,,

Sheeple

Sheeple, is a concept that is easy to understand. People that are sheep. Being herded and made to do as they wish. This could be control on a subconscious level, where you think that you are doing and moving as you please and wish, but in the big picture you really are being controlled. Capitalism? Are you controlled? Are you really aware? Are you really alive? Take a step back, take a step back and think to yourself, do you eat at a certain time of day because you have grown up eating at those given times? Try not eating at one point in the day you usually do, and wait and try to push yourself to see if you can. See if you can step out of your routine just for one day and see if it might give you a light, a spark, a refocusing, that might help you see things a little clearer... Do you believe because you really believe? Are you being fed information and believing it because it is scientifically backed? Re-evaluate it, and look at it from an analytical viewpoint... Through analytical eyes, you will be able to uncover things that were not always reachable prior...

For it...

For it, is the wisdom of a thing. A thing that passes by, a thing that is possibly called it. I see it, I see it, I see it. It is there, it is right there. It is there all over there. It is out there and all around there. Everything is there, it is it. There it is, and here it is, and there it went, and there it was spent... Spent, it was and it was spent, capital, money, things, it, the conclusion, is it...
