The three sides of the same coin.

Lately it occurs to me that there is a beautiful study in technology in the statement, "the map is not the territory." Science does a wonderful job of mapping reality by hypothesizing and testing ideas to get closer and closer to a generality that can be summed up in a reusable theory. A map that is consistently accurate enough to propose a standard model that can be used to predict future events based upon past ones. A very good example of this is the study of electronics which is so well understood that we can use the map to build smart phones, microwave ovens, GPS, computers and flash drives the size of credit cards that can hold gigabytes of data on them. Over time, spanning many iterations the map starts to match the the territory so well that they essentially are mirror images of each other. This is one the game of the Human Mind. One of the ultimate goals of the human mind is to mirror the world we live in perfectly. The better your mind mirrors the real world the more accurate and successful your predictions will be. When your brain and your mental structures are sufficiently "tuned" to reality, you begin to live in a state of harmonious flow with everything, Fluid and Fluent.

A beautiful example of tuning your brain to reality is a musician who is so well trained and tuned to the reality of his instrument that the performance rendered is flawless, fluent even effortless. Steve Vai is such a virtuoso that even if you are not a fan of his style of music you can witness almost magic watching how the phrases and melodies are expressed like colorful orgasms of sounds, each run and solo purposely reflected from his brain on his guitar with accuracy, speed, elegance and passion. This is a perfect example of a person who has trained his brain and body to a level of precision that mirrors his instrument so well that the two essentially become one.
Music is an area where this feedback loop between external world and internal world are so tight that this kind of mirroring can take place quickly. When you play an instrument you have tactile stimulation, auditory stimulation, and visual stimulation as feedback. Your eyes, ears and skin are feeding you information. Your brain automatically sensing the neuro-stimulation "if then" patterns, quickly learns that If I do "this" then "that" happens. This is also why we learn to speak so quickly. We hear our own words and by comparing what we want to hear with what we are saying we eventually learn to speak. In doing this we learn to walk, talk, and do all the amazing things we do as humans. The closer our brains mirror the external world the better we manage and learn to control the external world as an instrument of our own will. When I learn what words, body language, tone, timing and physiological ques, trigger a desired response in another person I can employ these purposefully to achieve a goal. This is the awareness that leads to control. Anything can be controlled and brought under will once the correct and accurate map is understood.

The next time you find your self being controlled or see someone else in charge or in control pay close attention and you will see that their control stems from the mirrored mental map which subconsciously gives them the power to control others like a musician and his instrument. When your brain, body and reality are in harmony you become the master!

This is not a pipe-The media is the message.

So you come to the conclusion that everything is simply cycling trivialities...If everything is simply matter/energy in various forms produced by quantum's of energy popping in and out of reality, resulting is electrons spinning around the impossible goal of ever reaching that god damn attractive proton core, half which it wants and the other that it doesn't, you have to realize that everything is constantly stuck in a perfectly balanced state of yin yang of perpetual reality resulting in the flow of time (change). Which is funny cause science tells you you really can't have perpetual energy but the first law of thermodynamics says you can't create or destroy energy just change forms. So you really do have perpetual energy it just so happens its perpetually changing forms inefficiently (from yin to yang in all the colors and shades of grey in between). And so all you have left is energy changing form. Since Matter is energy via E=MC^2 all matter and energy cancel out and you wonder what the hell is information? And Time? It's not energy? A piece of paper with all the laws of physics has pretty much the same caloric value as a blank one. A dead body has about the same amount of energy as a live one. (don't try to fool yourself if you think the soul has a weight or that it weights a fraction of an ounce: stop being stupid) It's the order and information that makes life but what the hell is information? If Matter is the Mother (mater) and the Patterns are the father(pater)is the Whole of the Universe simply Matter in Patterns? Okay... So it is... then what is consciousness? What is this stuff that remains after the patterns in the matter stop working like when Alzheimer's sets in or when the body his Quietus makes with a bare Bodkin? Is our experiences really what there is? Is there really no truth, just filtered and poorly filtered perception? If the tools are mis-calibrated, if the knowledge, wisdom, pattern misunderstood, if your just plain stupid, what is the hope that you will ever really know the truth? Is there any chance that the message can be sent purely enough that the inefficient transfer from one form of energy to the next will carry the pure message from sender to receiver? Can anyone ever really know what another person feels like or is thinking? Or if there really is another person at all? Maybe you really are all alone and everything else is just an auto-generated projection? You can never know until you experience a reality outside of yourself in an unquestionable way. So then you must ask what is the meaning of it all? What is the message? Why all this amazing complexity? Why don't we have full and pure understanding? Sure its a lot of fun and very enjoyable but is that really all that there is? Maybe instead of trying to find the"mean"ing of life we should try to discover or make the "funning" of Life!

Male and female he created them in the image of God
(Genesis 1:26-28)

Then God said, "Let us make man in our image, after our likeness; and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the birds of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creeps upon the earth." So God created man in His own image, in the image of God He created him; male and female He created them. And God blessed them, and God said to them, "Be fruitful and multiply, and fill the earth and subdue it; and have dominion over the fish of the sea and over the birds of the air and over every living thing that moves upon the earth."

Jesus was right He and the Father are one and so are you and me. He like you and me are the Pattern (image, likeness) and Mother Earth is what we are made from. In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. The word is the pattern and its written in DNA. The Media is the Message but are you a Pipe? (conduit for transfer, absolute value, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vertical_bar)

We are looking at a picture in which the painter is in turn looking out at us. A mere confrontation, eyes catching one another's glance, direct looks superimposing themselves upon one another as they cross. And yet this slender line of reciprocal visibility embraces a whole complex network of uncertainties, exchanges, and feints. The painter is turning his eyes towards us only in so far as we happen to occupy the same position as his subject.

When is Spite a useful tool?

When dealing with others there are 4 possible stances on any issue.

Me vs Other

If I benefit (+) and the others benefit (+) that is cooperation.

If I benefit (+) and the others don’t (-) that is selfishness.

If I don’t benefit (-) and the others do (+) that is altruism.

If I don’t benefit (-) and the others don’t (-) that is spite.

When is spite a useful strategy? When the scale or relevance of the detriment makes the detriment beneficial. High membership dues to a club act like a filter for low income people. The assumption is that if you don’t have enough money to play in the game you must not know how to handle your money or If you can’t handle the membership dues then you probably can’t handle the responsibility of being a member or bring any benefit to the group. Spite can act like a password and functions like credentials. If you don’t have the proper credentials you won’t be allowed in. Its a function of scale that determines how effective this authentication is.

Example: If you are an Elephant then a mosquito bite doesn’t have much affect on you , but if you are a mouse then the mosquito affects you much more. The scale of the blood loss from the bite is different.

This is how banks, clubs, businesses, and other controlling authorities wield their strength over the weak. Why do business require that you spend your money on stamps to pay bills? Why is the postage of the bill the payees responsibility? When you look at the issue through the lens of “scale” the mosquito bite of the stamps cost is a much higher percentage of total income to the payer then it is to the payee. This is why you can’t get ahead. The game is stacked against you. Unless you are a business owner or in the upper crust of the pyramid you will be the pack mule carrying the burden.

So the answer to the question is spite is a useful tool when it is used to qualify!

Cycles of Change-Vibrations

Everything changes and goes through stages of change.
The entire universe has a rhythm to it and so do all of its pieces. Music is made of alternating frequencies at various times, notes are made of fluctuations in air vibrations, electricity flows through AC lines vibrating at a nice 60Hz frequency, the seasons of the planet change from spring, to summer, fall, winter and back around. The moon changes its phases on a regular basis, the clouds on certain days show up with long wavy bands, rivers flow with waves, ocean tides rotate, the heart beats at its frequency, your sleep cycles through various stages, color is color because of the frequency of the energy reflected or absorbed and how our eyes see it. Everything has its frequency...

Vibration is the source of life and death and everything.
When vibrations get out of regular order you have chaos. When they are too predictable you get boredom. The universe has made it perfectly clear that it is not interested in perfection or boredom. A simple study of the waves found in nature will show you with very little difficulty that no natural system oscillates on a perfect regular frequency relative to any single other. Try to pin down the exact time it takes for one year to elapse and you will see that it changes and continues to change over time. Determine a regular pattern for the moon phases and you will see the same changing pattern emerges. Measure the frequency of light and then relaize that it also changes with the speed of the observer, this is known as the Doppler effect or red shift, same goes with sound and the same goes with just about everything. So what do we determine about this regularly changing world and Universe? In a world of perpetual change how does one root to any thing? What is the standard? Well this is not an easy question to answer and it would be foolish and meaningless to attempt to answer it with any infinite certainty but you can begin with a single point of reference. This reference is You!

The Gold standard must be You! Just don't expect that the Gold standard for everyone else is You too! Just because the Earth goes around the sun in a regular predictable pattern doesn't mean that its pattern will match the Moons, and the Moons patterns don't actually match those of equinoxes and solstices, there are some similarities to them but they are not perfectly aligned. In the same way we must learn to take a lesson from the Universe and realize that all relationships are based on comparisons of pairs even when there are many members involved. At the root level all relationships are between pairs. The pairs are always in relation to each other regardless of the potential other members in the pair. Even though the other members may influence them slightly or greatly. This is why you must become the Gold standard for your reference point. You are always going to be one of the members of the pair! I think therefore I am! If you exist then you are the observer and as the observer you can say with Gold dignity that "I am that I am!" And if you are not aware that you are everything that exists realize this, that once you die and return to the ground and matter of the World that exists you will also be the Universe that you see now as the observer. For matter and energy can not be created nor destroyed but rather we simply change form. The oscillations of the Universe from God to Man and back to God and back to man......! If you are observing the Universe as a Man you perceive it as if You are separate, an individual (al-one). When you perceive it all as God you perceive it as simply You the totality of everything (All-One)!

Whats that hum? Ohmmmmmmmmm...........
Wanna know why life can be a challenge? Cause in the end all that we have is resistance!

The brotherhood of life

This thought popped into my head a long time ago but I had not written it down so today I think its about time to lay it down. Evolution says that all life on earth began as a single cell that managed to have the right materials to reproduce itself and as a result it continued to reproduce itself and over time one of its offspring managed to change enough to become another different type of offspring and thus after much time and conditions those offspring continued to become another..... And so it goes. But have you ever pondered the implications of this?

If this is true which I have no reason to doubt it is this is amazing! Not just amazing but it also means that biologically speaking all living creatures are related and that there has been an unbroken link in the form of overlapping life forms since the moment that the first cell came to exist until now and into the future. Wow! So since the very first cell became living there has never been a time since then that there was no longer any living thing. Its mind boggling. Every living thing from cactus to buzzards to amoeba to scorpions are all related! That's simply beautiful! Now realize that life as we know it is a result of our particular brains and organs just as life as a dog knows it is a result of them being a dog. So realize how incredible it really is there there are so many different forms of life all sharing this experience! All chained via living down through the century's and further with an unbroken lineage! Its beyond imagination...

Contextual Facts for Winning the Game of Life.

The pursuit of happiness

Your current body will die. This fact gives rise to the fact of your current life. While you experience your bodies life you have body and ego centric experiences.There was a time that your current body didn't exist. That experience will again take place after death. Your human memory is contextual to your body. Your body doesn't carry the memories of previous generations in any easily accessible way. They exist in the World around you. Everything and all history is You! So It pays to love and appreciate everything no matter how ugly and painful and terrible or beautiful and wonderful it might be. The strange the weird the evil the holy its all you. If you really Love the Creator you will Love it all! And think of it, from your perspective imagine all the incredible events that have been experienced as the You-niverse both terrible and wonderful! From the level of bacteria to the level of Galaxies and beyond. Its so much more incredible than a You-man can fathom. However a You-man has some very wonderful features which is the mind and its pain and pleasure experiences which makes for a wonderful ride. Only through a You-man can a bacteria and a Galaxy be appreciated. A cat can not experience a bacteria and a Galaxy the same way. You-mans are fun!

This is what gives rise to the experience of YOU-ness. Treasure and appreciate You-ness because it is your gift as creator to yourself (your body). The better your treat yourself the better your creator is treating you. You are not separate from the rest of the Universe you are in fact the entire Youniverse but while you are Youman you experience it as a single point of perspective. Everything that you can fathom in your Youman mind is an aspect of the You-niverse. What about Religion? Do you love God? Then Love yourself! Do you love the World? Then Love yourself! Experience is the name of the game! You are the struggle between all struggles. You enjoy this Human experience and as a result you have created many versions of the Human experience in fact each one is You-nique. The struggles in life are enjoyable and they give rise to new and more wonderful experiences. Each instance leaves a mark in reality which is the changes of the You-niverse nothing is ever lost each and every life and death deliverse good to You either as a You-man or a You-niverse its a win-win but it depends upon which state you are experiencing. (l'estat c'est moi) All bad experiences leading to progress sharpen the You-niverse and every good experience delivers pleasure. The goal is Net pleasure and progress for The Whole. The Golden Rule is Maximum pleasure for the Whole of You either as a You-man or a You-niverse. This is the guiding principle. What you see in the world is the Efforts of all your aspects in a challenge to obtain max benefits. What ever is good for You is Good for the You-niverse. When something defeats you in a challenge its because the result was for the benefit of the external You-niverse when You win to the expense of the rest it was for your You-man body benefit. Either way the You-niverse experiences the benefit. All suffering and challenges are there as opportunities for You to experience pleasure and benefits but often times a lack of appreciation makes it difficult to experience the full benefit of a triumph so as a result You lose to whoever can enjoy the win the most. Why? Because the max pleasure is always experienced either in your body or some other one. Also realize that pleasure and benefits are contextual and by seeing the proper context of an event allows you to enjoy max benefit but only after it is properly understood. So full appreciation of yourself both You-man and You-niverse is the goal of Life. All suffering is caused by a lack of appreciation. If you can realize how to find a way to enjoy every event you will have won the game of life. The persuit of Happiness really is the idea behind life.

Self Esteem- Ground yourself

One of the most challenging mind hacks is correcting your self esteem.

Self Esteem is the first strong hold to build because it is the most fundamental and most easily bruised. Self Esteem is critical because it serves as a base for all the following beliefs about yourself. The only way to preserve its integrity is to realize this is self given not by way of comparison or from external sources. You must value yourself above anything or anyone. You must because you have no choice, or rather your alternatives only make you vulnerable to all kinds of mental weakness. Even in the midst of negative self reflection you must be able to pull away from the mental struggle and battle to recall that you are the source and the only way to repair anything that you think needs correction is to climb back to your throne. When dealing with Low self esteem think of these times as the president surveying a National disaster scene. Do not commit yourself to past mistakes or regrets, make them serve you to teach you not to define you. You must define yourself by your own golden standards. Do not take any action when you self esteem is low but rather change focus and collect thoughts until you are able to return to the issues apart from emotional suffering. Even if you have many regrets and reasons to hate yourself you must disregard them all or at least put them into a mental holding pattern for later until your mind is in control and you are on your mental throne. Realize now that all these thoughts are mind structures and contextual rather than absolute (absolute is grounded) so you are free to disregard them. They are a product of awareness. If you were ignorant (shielded) to them all you would experience no suffering so what you are dealing with is exposed wires of potential so to speak or a floating ground fault.

Solution: Root yourself to the ground when you find yourself comparing yourself to others or struggling with envy, jealousy, or low self esteem. This is like an ungrounded device which can lead to self destructive thoughts and behaviors.

Remember there will always be people on both sides of you. There will always be richer and poorer, sicker and healthier, uglier and more attractive, any standard that you chose to measure by you will always find people better and worse. Comparison is meaningless. So when you find a close contextual person in your life that causes you to have low self esteem root yourself to ground and remember you are preeminent and restore your throne.
