((( JOURNEY TO THE CENTER OF THE MIND )))

Leave your cares behind come with us and find

The pleasures of a journey to the center of the mind

Come along if you care

Come along if you dare

Take a ride to the land inside of your mind

Beyond the seas of thought beyond the realm of what

Across the streams of hopes and dreams where things are really not

Come along if you care...

But please realise you'll probably be surprised

For it's the land unknown to man

Where fantasy is fact

So if you can, please understand

You might not come back

Come along if you care

Come along if you dare

Take a ride to the land inside and you'll see

How happy life could be if all of mankind

Would take the time to journey to the center of the mind

Would take the time to journey to the center of the mind

Center of the mind

((( IF I ONLY HAD A BRAIN )))

I could while away the hours

Conferrin' with the flowers

Consultin' with the rain

And my head, I'd be scratchin'

While my thoughts were busy hatchin'

If I only had a brain

I'd unravel every riddle

For any individual

In trouble or in pain

With the thoughts you'll be thinkin'

You could be another Lincoln

If you only had a brain

Oh, I could tell you why the ocean's near the shore

I could think of things I never thunk before

And then I'd sit and think some more

I would not be just a nothin'

My head all full of stuffin'

My heart all full of pain

I would dance and be merry

Life would be a ding-a-derry

If I only had a brain

Gosh, it would be awful pleasin'

To reason out the reason

For things I can't explain

Then perhaps I'll deserve your

And be even worthy of your

If I only had a brain

((( THE SELF-AWARE UNIVERSE )))

MY RESPONSE COMMENT TO A BLIND FAITH SKEPTIC:

I do not base my life on what OTHERS believe. I KNOW from direct empirical experiences with Mother Nature that this planet is a living being. Whether or not you or your fancy scientists agree or not is none of my business. The feeling of romance between myself and Mother Nature continues to grow stronger and stronger as my musical performance offerings grow more and more powerful. Yesterday I may have given the most miraculous musical offering performance of my life!

So, you can bandy words all you like. I'm not such a fool to base my beliefs on what others say, as you obviously are. I KNOW I am living in a Sentient, Conscious and Supremely Aware Universe. YOU, know only what others teach and your blind faith in their teachings will, obviously, always keep you living a dull, boring argumentative life.

I have come here not to argue with you, but to test my CURRENT belief system to see if ANYONE can punch proverbial holes in it and show me something I really need to know. From YOU I have strengthened my confidence in my own empirical experiences.

Let me give you an example of what I mean:

Suppose I have a million-dollars in my bank account. I tell you this and you refuse to believe me. What difference does it make whether you believe me or not as long as I have a million-dollars in my bank account? NO DIFFERENCE WHATSOEVER!!!

Well, I boldly say that through my five near-death experiences I now have a more romantically intimate relationship with the Living Mother Earth than ever before in my life. I KNOW EMPIRICALLY that I live in a Sentient, Conscious and Supremely Aware Universe. My sense of awestruck wonder continues to grow in strength and expand and I feel this growing, living relationship is worth far more than a million-dollars. So what if you don't believe me! Who the fuck are YOU anyhow? A nothing nobody who surrenders the value of his empirical experiences to his blind faith in science. That's who you are!!!

I don't fully agree with Chopra, but I can sense that he is basing his beliefs upon direct communion with the source of everything that is, through advanced meditation. He is NOT basing his beliefs on what others have taught. He may make use of what others have taught, but his beliefs are based on direct meditative experiences with...the infinite. All your doubt cannot cancel out the wonders he experiences communing directly with the source of all that exists. In this, I share Deepak Chopra's sense of wonder!

In light of this what you blind faith skeptics think of our empirical experiences is about as useful as what I flush down the toilet. My joy in life is NOT based upon convincing YOU of anything, get it? GOOD!!!!

MY NEXT COMMENT:

Wait a moment here! Surely you are not so blind faith ignorant as to blindly assume I am arguing for "creationism", are you? If so you are a lot dumber than I initially thought!!

I AM NOT ARGUING FOR CREATIONISM!!!

I personally feel that once you start dealing with so much as a second past how long YOU will personally live you are dealing with more than you can possibly handle, whether you realize it or not!

So, all you people who are dead certain what happened thousands of years ago or millions, or billions of years ago are all conceitedly and pompously daft, as far as I am concerned!

YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT ACTUALLY HAPPENED THOUSANDS, MILLION, BILLIONS OR TRILLIONS OF YEARS AGO!!!

YOU MAY POMPOUSLY ACT AS THOUGH YOU DO AND CONVINCE A LOT OF SUCKERS THAT YOU ARE CORRECT, BUT...

YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT HAPPENED THOUSANDS, MILLIONS, BILLIONS OR TRILLIONS OF YEARS AGO AND I SAY IT'S ABOUT TIME YOU STOP PRETENDING YOU DO KNOW!!!!!

Considering that Amit Goswami, Ph. D. is a professor of theoretical nuclear physics (retired) at the University of Oregon where he served since 1968. He is a pioneer of the new paradigm of science called “science within consciousness,” an idea he explicated in his seminal book, The Self-Aware Universe, where he also solved the quantum measurement problem elucidating the famous observer effect. I'd say that makes him MUCH MORE QUALIFIED than Deepak Chopra to make determinations about Quantum Theory.

I recently purchased the Kindle edition of his book The Self-Aware Universe and am still just beginning it, but it is power packed offering much to consider and ponder about.

I am not arguing for creationism. I am arguing for a Self-Aware Universe!!!!

POST TO THE SKEPTICS:

You can't seem to get past your psychological brainwashing. I'll make an attempt to get you to critically think about what you blind faith believe. Okay, here we go:

Lets suppose, for a moment, that besides the Jews, Christians and Muslims there were no religions to be found on Earth. Let's suppose that no matter what isolated tribes were discovered they were all atheists. In such a scenario it would be logical and reasonable to conclude that religion and the concept of "God" are human constructs. In short: the staunch atheist conclusion would be the logical and reasonable one.

The problem here is the opposite is true! All isolated tribes I have ever heard of believe in some sort of creator deity. Oh, the names may be different, but when you juxtapose their overall beliefs and see what they have in common you should find they all believe there is some sort of mysterious, conscious force behind the facade of the reality we experience. When this force is happy with us we are, generally, rewarded with wonderful lives. If this force is angry with us all kinds of ecological hell can break loose.

That is essentially what you find and, apparently, what new discoveries in Quantum Physics are revealing is that there is indeed some mysterious force behind the reality we take for granted; that the apparent solidity of the reality we experience IS AN ILLUSION!! This is in harmony with much of Vedic teachings and I believe it is in harmony with advanced Buddhist teachings as well.

Atheists tend to act as though only Jews, Christians & Muslims believe in some soft of mysterious consciousness behind the reality we tend to take for granted. The staunch skeptical atheist REFUSES to be skeptical of his own belief system!!!!!

MY NEXT RESPONSE:

ATHEIST PHYSICISTS and PHYSICISTS WHO BELIEVE THERE IS A MYSTERIOUS CONSCIOUSNESS BEHIND THE REALITY WE EXPERIENCE are not the same. YOUR core problem is you blindly feel the atheist physicists are the only reputable ones. This you believe on BLIND FAITH!!!

After much research, I am firmly convinced that modern society is a Bilderberg agenda laboratory in which they implement sophisticated mind control in order to keep us from critically thinking about what THEY want us to believe. YOU are obviously completely under the programming and can't think for yourself. You allow atheist scientists to come to the conclusions you blindly feel are your own!!!

((( SPACE DOG )))

What a strange friggin dog?

Gotta be from some other planet, right?

I mean, he looks like he can 

argue quantum theory with Einstein

((( ON DELUSIONAL MENTAL ILLNESS )))

To determine true delusional mental illness I feel we must take a proverbial step back from modern society and honestly ask ourselves: 'Does modern society, as a whole, show signs that much, if not most, of humanity is suffering from delusional mental illnesses?'

Then you dispassionately weigh out the overall evidence

Most of humanity apparently blindly believes and worships some deity as God who will most certainly make certain we are tortured forever and ever if we refuse to return His love. I'd say it's safe to assume ALL PEOPLE who blindly believe such things are indeed delusional and mentally ill.

From a dispassionate point of view, I would have to say that ALL PEOPLE who blindly worship ANYONE or  ANYTHING are delusionally deranged and, consequently, mentally ill; and I used to be among them.

Then there are the atheists who blindly believe science as though science is the only God they will ever need. Such people surrender their critical thinking processes to those who they are absolutely certain are fully qualified to determine whether of not man has a 'soul'. I say, such people are EQUALLY DELUSIONAL and there is no indication WHATSOEVER that psychiatric science is making humanity, as a whole, any "saner". Oh, it is very successful in turning people into legal drug junkies. I'll tell you that much and chances are if you go to a psychiatrist for ANY problem that makes you sad you will leave his or her office with a drug prescription.

THEN SOCIETY TURNS AROUND AND BOLDLY SAYS TO THE WORLD

"DRUGS ARE NOT THE ANSWER!!!"

Now this, to me, is a sure sign of delusional mental illness on the part of modern humanity. INDEED IT IS!!

After being tricked too many times I've decided that my empirical experiences are the proverbial litmus test of what is and is not true and if I cannot personally verify ANY INFORMATION it will be casually relegated to the subject of 'mythology' until I can personally verify it.

I now demand THREE INDEPENDENT sources, that I feel are reputable, before I even consider believing ANYTHING I have not personally verified.

Let me give you an example of how this strategy CURRENTLY serves me:

There is the story of a magical, moving "Star of Bethlehem" that guided the three "wise" Magi to the birthplace of Jesus.

So, where are three independent, reputable sources that such a stellar phenomenon actually existed around the time of the purported birth of Jesus?

I HAVE FOUND NONE WHATSOEVER!!!!

The only other place I have found mention of such a magical star signifying the birth of Jesus is in...

((( THE BOOK OF MORMON )))

And as all true Christians know, the Book of Mormon and the Mormon church is OF THE DEVIL!!! That's why most Christians apparently voted for a Mormon to become president of the United States. Is this yet another sign of delusional mental illness on the part of American Christianity?

YOU CAN BET YOUR NON-EXISTENT SOUL IT IS!!!!

That is pure crazy nuts and I don't have to write "SUPPOSEDLY". For it obviously is!!!

Back to the magical moving star

Again I state I have found no independent, reputable sources that indicate such a stellar phenomenon occurred around the purported time of the birth of Jesus

HOWEVER

I did find such a story attributed to the BIRTH OF MITHRAS!!!! A magical star guiding three wise men is apparently a part of the story of the divine birth of Mithras and that purportedly happened many, many centuries before it was apparently stolen and attached to the birth of Jesus.

Then there are stories that the three wise Magi were of a cult of magicians in the "east" about two-years journey from Bethlehem. This is supposedly where we get the term 'magician'. They were supposedly avid astronomers and astrologers who were sought out by great rulers and paid handsomely for their services.

So, where are there three independent, reputable records that these Magi in the "east" of Bethlehem recorded the incredible stellar phenomenon we now call "The Star of Bethlehem"? Want to take a guess?

((( NOWHERE TO BE FOUND, PERIOD!!! )))

I can use this same basic technique of demanding three independent, reputable sources to determine whether or not the Nile river, in Eqypt, actually turned red, like blood, when "Moses" used the "power of the Lord to make it happen. Want to guess what fully independent sources I found to corroborate that myth?

((( NONE WHATSOEVER )))

That's how I basically deal with myth

Okay, how does that apply to current events? Well, the other day I received an email telling people to use their services to sue the Tylenol company. I was shocked! I decided to do a web search and found three independent sources stating that Tylenol is dangerous and causes liver failure. SUPPOSEDLY, the Tylenol company is getting ready to put a warning label on the bottle telling people their produce can cause liver failure!

This causes me to tend to believe it. I'm not taking chances with Tylenol ever again. I am also shying away from GMO products and getting ready to write the Whole Food Supermarket company telling them that the world NEEDS THEM to make a stand on GMO products and ABSOLUTELY REFUSE to stock ANY ITEM that is not certified organic in their chain of supermarkets!!!

I believe I have seen enough evidence to be wary of GMO products, and cell phones, and commercial television programs, and unfiltered tap water, and flu shots, and...well...the list goes on and on.

LET IT SUFFICE TO SAY I STRONGLY SUSPECT THERE IS AN AGENDA IN PLACE

TO DELIBERATELY POISON THE MASSES WITH THE INTENT OF

KILLING OFF THE WEAK AND THE SICK!!

I've seen enough evidence to feel I am correct in this assumption and I'm not taking any chances. If YOU want to take your chances you go right ahead. Rest assured, I won't miss you

((( RETURN OF THE GODS )))

MY COMMENT

In deference to all the people out there blindly believing all kinds of jackass bullshit, at face value, I feel I must share this comment I made on the above video:

Okay, I've been listening to this and have to make a comment you blind faith Christians really need to think about so prepare yourselves for this truth is probably not going to be accepted by your psychological Christian brainwashing:

Let's assume that everything in the Bible is both literal and allegorical, for a moment. When Lucifer and the fallen angels were cast out of Heaven WHO GAVE THEM A PLACE TO STAY AND A PURPOSE TO FULFILL? Well, it wasn't Jesus!!! Jesus was the guy who was begging God not to go to the cross to the point where blood was coming out of His pores. Who was it who said 'NO' to Jesus' begging not to go to the cross? The very same being who...

GIVES SATAN THE POWER TO DO EVIL, THAT'S WHO!!!!

So you keep this in mind when you talk about all the things demonic forces are doing in the world for...

GOD HAS EVERY RIGHT TO DO WHATEVER HE WANTS...

WITH HIS TOYS!!!

Okay then, of course you blind faith Christians are going to demand I back this up with scripture. Well here's more truth for you and you're not going to like it:

If there can be found so much as ONE EMPIRICAL EXAMPLE that the Bible has been tampered with, throughout the ages, it throws the whole concept of the Bible being "infallible and inerrant' out the proverbial window. You brainwashed Christians are so blind to what I am about to say and yet it's been right under your noses since older manuscripts were discovered AFTER King James had the Bible translated into English.

THE ENDING OF THE BIBLICAL BOOK OF MARK

HAS BEEN TAMPERED WITH!!

THE BIBLICAL BOOK OF MARK ORIGINALLY ENDED WITH EVERYONE

FLEEING THE EMPTY TOMB OF JESUS IN TERROR!!!!

GOD ONLY KNOWS WHO ADDED THE CURRENT ENDING

WITH ALL THE "SIGNS AND WONDERS" FOLLOWING

THOSE WHO BELIEVE!!!!

Your precious book has been tampered with in MANY other places as well. Just look at how many footnotes are in your precious New Testament stating things like: "The oldest documents do not contain these passages". Why do you think that is?

BECAUSE THE BIBLE HAS BEEN TAMPERED WITH, THAT'S WHY!!!

You munch on that for a while before you come demanding I back up what I say with Biblical scripture. Look at the ending of your precious book of Mark first. Then go through all the sections where 'the oldest and most reliable documents do not contain these passages'

Is the truth setting you free yet!

Jesus purportedly said something to the effect of: 'You would have no power over me unless is was given to you from above'

NOT FROM BELOW, ((( FROM ABOVE )))

Have a nice day

((( "FAITH" IN THE DOCTRINE OF SAM HARRIS? )))

MY COMMENT:

SO, DO YOU HAVE "FAITH" THAT SAM HARRIS IS COMPLETELY CORRECT IN HIS ASSESSMENT OF REALITY? I find it is the nature of the blind faith skeptic to blindly assume they have all the answers that can be known about the great mystery of reality. In actuality, THEY ARE GUESSING. However, they tend to come off as though they know for a fact that which THEY DO NOT KNOW FOR A FACT!!!

FACT: Science is divided into two basic camps: The atheist camp and the camp that believes there is some sort of mysterious consciousness behind the reality we take for granted. From my studies PHYSICS NOBEL PRIZE WINNER ERWIN SCHRODINGER was of the camp that believes there is some sort of mysterious consciousness behind the reality we experience.

Study quotes of Erwin Schrodinger and you should find he sounds a lot like Deepak Chopra. So, you think YOU know better about such matters than a Nobel Prize winner in physics? If you can't understand Deepak Chopra don't blindly dismiss the possibility that he is just too intelligent and wise for you!!

((( SORRY, SAM. YOU LOSE! )))

MY COMMENT:

"Here's the bottom line. Let me make it clear enough for even people like Sam Harris to understand: Sam Harris is essentially saying: 'Don't blindly believe THEIR books! Be wise and blindly believe MY BOOKS!!!' I say the problem here is people blindly believing ANY AUTHORITY FIGURES, PERIOD!!!

I say: If you are truly wise you will ABSOLUTELY REFUSE to blindly believe ANYONE or ANY STORY you have not personally, empirically verified as true!!! Now that would solve the problem.

Of course, people who want you to blindly believe their books will not agree with me; and this regardless of whether they are religious or atheist!! Everyone in this type of debate is looking for followers and do their best to justify why you should follow them!

Let me give you an empirical down to Earth example of what I mean here: How many of you reading this have personally empirically verified that the sun does not actually go around the Earth, as you have seen it do all of your lives? NONE OF YOU, RIGHT? You just blindly believe the sun does not go around the Earth ON BLIND FAITH IN SCIENCE!!!!

From the perspective of we who live on the Earth THE SUN GOES AROUND THE EARTH, PERIOD!!! That is an empirical fact that you can personally verify most every day. As for the Earth revolving. Well, if you ever find yourself living in space then, AND ONLY THEN, will you be able to personally verify that the Earth does indeed revolve. Until then IT IS MYTHOLOGY and that's the way you should treat the concept of the Earth revolving.

'Oh no!!!' People like Sam Harris and Michael Shermer would say, 'You must blindly believe that the Earth revolves because science says so!!' To that I respond with, "GO FUCK YOURSELVES!!! I only believe that which I personally verify and I'm always ready to find I am incorrect about anything I CURRENTLY believe, period! YOU, obviously, are not always ready to find you are incorrect about anything you blindly believe so, like it or not, that makes you my intellectual INFERIOR!!!''

((( VIOTTI )))

And yet another great composer

I have never heard of before

thanks again to Pandora One!!!

Giovanni Battista Viotti

May 12, 1755 - March 3, 1824

born in Fontanetto da Po, Italy, composed during the Classical period

Giovanni Battista Viotti (1755-1824) was an Italian violinist and composer, and one of the major figures in the advancement of modern violin performance. While he is remembered today for his 29 violin concertos, which proved to be his most original and enduring works, he was a celebrity in his day for his phenomenal playing. His intermittent career as a violinist took him from Versailles, where he joined the court of Marie Antoinette, to concerts in London. After failing at a wine business, Viotti turned to managing the Paris Opéra and taught several rising violinists, including Rodolphe Kreutzer. ~ Blair Sanderson, Rovi


MY COMMENT:

In a time where wearing 'powder puff' wigs was all the rage I find it interesting to consider that this great composer didn't care if the world knew he was balding. When I think about it, that says a real sincerity to me. It tells the story of man who wasn't ashamed of who he ACTUALLY was and that is very rare indeed!

My instinctive reaction was, "Why didn't he portray himself while wearing a wig? After all, it seems practically everyone was doing it back then".

Interesting fellow, this Viotti

((( THE MATRIX OF ALL MATTER )))

"All matter originates and exists only by virtue of a force... We must assume behind this force the existence of a conscious and intelligent Mind. This Mind is the matrix of all matter.”

-Max Planck


MY COMMENT:

From what I have studied, the discoveries of Quantum Physics geniuses, who are not afraid to admit the obvious, are in harmony with the basic beliefs of advanced Buddhism, advanced overall Hindu beliefs and Shamanistic cultures in general. This statement is most certainly in harmony with the teachings of Castaneda's don Juan. That much is for certain.

The quote has given validation to my personal empirical experiences with the Spirit of Intent and Mother Nature. There is some sort of mysterious awareness and consciousness behind and at the core of what we call "reality". As the years go on I am more and more certain of this as fact!

Great Quantum Physics geniuses like Max Planck and Schrodinger apparently believed this is true and my personal, empirical experiences give me no choice except to concur.

Whether others believe this truth or not is COMPLETELY IRRELEVANT!!!

What is relevant to me is: how can I use this truth to my overall advantage?

Since this is the underlying core of my personal belief system my relationship with the Spirit of Intent, Mother Nature and the Spirit of Mother Earth revolves around this question. As far as I am concerned, learning new and wonderful ways to use EVERYTHING I perceive to my personal advantage is what successful living is all about!
