cpuusage Posted May 4, 2017 Author Share Posted May 4, 2017 There seems to be a pretty unanimous current consensus within certain circles that 'business as usual' will give us about another 10 years, before potential catastrophic systemic ecosystem & civilisation collapse scenarios.Published on 12 May 2009We are living in exceptional times.

cpuusage Posted May 12, 2017 Author Share Posted May 12, 2017 In 1942 the famous scientist Dr. Nikola Tesla said,"If you want to find the secrets of the Universe, think in terms of energy, frequency and vibration."“And what we’ve discovered at the core basis of the universe, the foundation of the universe, is a single unified field of intelligence; a field that unites gravity with electromagnetism, light with radioactivity, with the nuclear force. So that all the forces of nature and all the so-called particles of nature – quarks, leptons, protons, neutrons – are now understood to be one. They’re all just different ripples on a single ocean of existence that is the unified field… And that field is a non-material field. It is ultimately a field of consciousness and everything in the universe is nothing but that. Planets, trees, people, animals – we’re all just waves of vibration of this underlying, unified, superstring field…”–John Hagelin, Particle Physicist“A fundamental conclusion of the new physics also acknowledges that the observer creates the reality. As observers, we are personally involved with the creation of our own reality. Physicists are being forced to admit that the universe is a “mental” construction. Pioneering physicist Sir James Jeans wrote: “The stream of knowledge is heading toward a non-mechanical reality; the universe begins to look more like a great thought than like a great machine. Mind no longer appears to be an accidental intruder into the realm of matter, we ought rather hail it as the creator and governor of the realm of matter. Get over it, and accept the inarguable conclusion. The universe is immaterial-mental and spiritual.”– R.C.

And honestly..........I do see improvements on a small scale once in awhile. And hear you. imo, a majority, some 80% or more of what comes under first episode psychosis is primarily psychogenic; psychological / spiritual crisis, & best understood & approached as such, & when properly treated is fully resolvable / curable in the vast majority of cases, as is a vast majority of everything that comes under mental health.How as a species we have arrived at & created in many ways such an insane, unhealthy & stupid civilisation / society is a bit beyond me, But the rot i think goes back very far & is very deep.A genuinely civilised & advanced society / culture / civilisation / system wouldn't be like this one, & it wouldn't treat people the ways that we treat them. But this civilisation isn't civilised nor advanced. Will we see a genuine transformation to a genuinely humane & civilised Global civilisation / system? i don't know? It remains to be seen.

cpuusage Posted May 19, 2017 Author Share Posted May 19, 2017 "Instead of feeling guilty, why don’t you look and see? Listen, instead of feeling guilty and building something wrong inside of you, why don’t you say, 'Now let’s see, I did this or I said that, or I felt that inwardly. Now let’s see, is that something that caused me to feel nervous, to feel unhappy?' Ah, now the whole thing is different. In stead of going into guilt and blaming yourself or someone else, you say, 'Ah, now I under- stand what it means to live in self-defeating reactions in life. I am the one who gets punished when I permit myself to be careless, to be ignorant on how to behave on any level at all, whether it’s the social level, spiritual level, personal level.' When you can see self-defeating behavior as self-defeating, where does guilt have any place in that? None at all. But we love to feel guilty, falsely so, because it builds up attention to ourse lves. And then we can do all sorts of other wrong things like pretending that we’ve been forgiven for it simply because we go through some reli- gious gesture of some kind. But the basic problem has stayed and what we are trying to do is get rid of all actions inside ourselves that cause us to react, not only with wrong guilt but anything else."

cpuusage Posted June 5, 2017 Author Share Posted June 5, 2017 We exist within a Global & interconnected World. The question is how best to approach National & Global issues in a way that is genuinely intelligent & Civilised. Over the past 7 years this Tory Government, with full complicity of the mainstream media / general public has committed Democide on the Physically & Mentally disabled. That to me is a very serious issue issue, injustice & crime. Where is the public outcry? The Nazis started by doing the same thing. The UK is in serious breech of Universal Human Rights. & there are multiple issues / areas concerning the role of the UK domestically & internationally that are under serious question.

cpuusage Posted June 7, 2017 Author Share Posted June 7, 2017 "You are not who you feel you are. Even if you feel that you are who you feel you are, you are not who you feel you are. A feeling, an emotion is not your real nature. You're not really a disappointed person. You're not really a jubilant person. You're not really a sarcastic person. You're not a gloomy person. These are feelings that you love, that you live with in great companionship. You live with those in order to have what you call life. But you've got it wrong. You're not the storm of emotion of rage. You're not the stormy ocean.

cpuusage Posted June 8, 2017 Author Share Posted June 8, 2017 From the book Looking Forward, by Jacque Fresco: “When little was known about cultural anthropology, sociology, and psychology, it seemed quite valid to resist proposed reforms by saying, “it won’t work. It is against human nature.” It is difficult for many people to appreciate the fact that what they call “human nature” just doesn’t exit. People are like mirrors they largely reflect their surroundings. If people were to come into the world with a fixed “nature” consisting of automatic responses, civilization would be impossible. Like the ants, we would live out our lives in patterns that are modified but little with the passing of time. The wonderful thing about us is that we come into this world with maximum flexibility.” From The Best That Money Can’t Buy, Page 89, by Jacque Fresco "Bigotry, racism, nationalism, jealousy, superstition, greed, and self-centered behavior are all learned patterns of behavior, which are strengthened or reinforced by our upbringing. These patterns of behavior are not inherited human traits or “human nature” as most people have been taught to believe. If the environment remains unaltered, similar behavior will reoccur. When we come into the world we arrive with a clean slate as far as our relationships with others are concerned. In the final analysis, any judgment regarding undesirable human behavior serves no purpose without an attempt to alter the environment that creates it. In a society that provides for most human needs, constructive behavior would be reinforced, and people who have difficulty interacting in the community would be helped rather than imprisoned. Aspiring to a particular ethical behavior has to do with human aspirations and ideals. Functional morality is the ability to provide a process level to achieve a sustainable environment for all people. By this, we mean providing clean air and water, goods and services, and a healthy and innovative environment that is emotionally and intellectually fulfilling. It is difficult to conceive of any solutions that would serve the interest of the majority in a monetary-based system. None of this can be accomplished without a comprehensive redesign of our social system and eventual replacement of the monetary-based system by a resource-based economy."
