I just want to say thank you, Dr Hyatt, for doing what you what you did. You were a father figure to me, even though we never met...you never knew my name.
eternally grateful for being extreme,
Dustin Troy Cole

Mankind. Multi faceted domesticated apes. Caged sheople. Working class drone. The ninety seven percent of the human race that works for a living. Semi educated to grad level intelligent human.
There is a crowd. There are people. Within this group of people there are patterns. Like fingerprints, every person is unique in their own way...but there are patterns within groups of unique individuals. People act like people. Knowing these patterns gives a degree of power to the knower of those patterns, in that products and services can be created to cater to these patterns.
A thinking person will often recognize these patterns in themselves, and be grateful for the availability of choice in which their own pattern of existence can be made more comfortable.
A non thinking person will unknowingly to themselves, recognize these patterns and purchase products and services that cater to those patterns in themselves, making life more comfortable for them.
The similarities in these two scenarios is obvious. The thinking person has chosen based on recognition of a choice, and the non thinking person has chosen based on the recognition of a choice. The important difference is that one chose it consciously, and the other had it chosen for themselves subconsciously.
You may ask why this is important, but think about it. That is the edge a company needs to predict what you might want, and then provide that to you for a fee.
If you know what patterns within you that tend to be catered to, you cater to them yourself. Relatively free of charge.
Sheople prefer to pay for it.
I am the epitome of arrogance. I live in a world in which I generally feel that it is my right to have this house, this car, these bookshelves full of books, this TV, this xbox, this hp pavillion that I use to write this blog. I feel that because I work 9 hours a day for a large multi-national company, I am somehow entitled to these strange exotic luxuries. I take for granted many, many, things. It is very sad.
The Universe is pretty darn big. The number of building blocks available to make up all the infinite realities is surprisingly small compared to the amount of things that I experience in this reality.
Who am I? I am the experiencer of this reality. Which reality? My reality. A funny irony is that in an infinite universe, I truly am the center...if that is how I choose to calculate it.
Albert Einstein once said that the universe is like a pocket watch that is sealed shut so that we cannot see its internal workings...all we can see is the movement of the hands. He said that all of our science and all our mathematics was simply us trying to understand what makes the hands move around the clock...with out really knowing what's going on inside. We can create many different models to explain it beautifully, but we will never really know how it truly works...only God knows how it works. Are you arrogant? Do you take for granted the things of this reality? Yes, you do. Would you please be so kind as to acknowledge that for yourself? Thank you. Then thank anybody who has helped you see beyond the arrogant you. Then thank yourself, and be arrogant again, because hell, that's what we're good at...
Robert Anton Wilson once suggested that to get to know ourselves we should answer Who, What, When, Where, and How. I'm pretty sure I know the answer to each of those that are important to me(and I'll share them with you in just a moment), but the question I want to pose to you is Why. To know Who, What, When, Where, and How, one simply needs the appropriate apparatus to observe...eyes and/or ears. What apparatus is needed to observe Why?
As I promised: Who? All of us. What? Are One. When? Always. Where? Planet Earth. How? By being human. We all have an "I". When I look into your eyes I see "I" looking back at me. Namaste, my brothers and sisters, do you understand me? When asked what is the most important of God's commandments, Jesus the Christ answered, "The Lord thy God is One Lord...", but he didn't stop there. He continues saying, "and the second is like namely this: Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself." Why? Because we are all One and the same living, breathing, entity connected to each other by the One Lord our God that's Why. Who is this "One Lord our God" you might ask? Krishna tells Arjuna that it is, "He who dwells within all living bodies." Krishna calls He who dwells within all living bodies "the Seer...[who is]not shaken by adversity, not hankering after happiness, free from fear, free from anger, free from the things of desire". Can you all understand that? Do you see that behind all of our human-ness, behind all of our issues, behind all of our percieved differences there is the One Being simply observing? When you say, "I feel tired", who do you think it is that observed you were tired? When you say, "I feel sad", who saw that you were sad? It's Him DAMMIT, it's HIM! It's the One, for crying out loud and He's in ALL OF US, CAN YOU SEE THAT??!!?!?!
Do you understand that we are all One? Can you see that pretty much all of the religions have been preaching this idea for millenia? Do you see that quantum physics is verifying that they have been correct all along?
When we kill each other we are killing ourselves. When we hurt each other we are hurting ourselves. Why are we doing this? Why are we fighting ourselves all across the globe? Why are we killing our SELVES? OURSELVES!! WHY?!?! But just as importantly...Why can't we stop? Am I the only one perplexed by this? Is there anybody else out there that wants to see us evolve into an enlightened society too? Hello? Anybody?!?? I am affraid for us. Why? Just look around.
