Growth path of Consciousness

Ok so I am going through a pretty rough time.. my relationship is in extreme turmoil, my living place is probably going to be lost, my job is kind of different to tell what it is... yet I love it all :D

Recently (maybe today) I read somewhere, that consciousness is just something, which sees the options and creates decisions based on options it sees - guiding itself to survival/Evolution..
As an example fish predator was compared to on-land predator. Fish can't see much, so it is very reliant on it's ability to sense it's surroundings and react on that. Yey on-land preditor can see way way further, and plan accordingly to that. So much much more pro activity is there, compared to fish..


 So I was just sitting at a Chinese place and thinking to myself about this topic.. What does it mean for a consciousness to be doing that - surviving/evolving?

Well it has to master few tools, which when mastered helps consciousness evolve faster, which in turn will help it better navigate in this ever changing Situation/Surroundings/Environment!

What does it mean to evolve faster?
Means - you can faster asses the Situation/Surroundings/Environment, and come up with the best solution for you!

So WHAT does the Consciousness have to do to grow/evolve to best adapt to it's NEW Situation/Surroundings/Environment?


1. Regularly Participate in something NEW! 
2. Notice the things that get you Excited!
3. Learn&Analyze things that Excite you!
4. Decide if this is important to your SSE!
5. Find how you can use this new knowledge to best navigate in your SSE!
6. ACT


Now let's get to HOW part!
And to do this effectively you must develop some tools, some habits:


1. Regularly Participate in something NEW!
What?
 Develop a Habit to Regularly Try something New!


How?
- If this is an activity you are used to - find some new aspect of it, some new way of thinking about it or new way of engaging in it!
- or find absolutely new activity, which you never tried before!
- Do something different with ppl you know, but have never done that with them!
- Go and meet absolutely different people, get to know them!
- Be playful, be life - experimenter!
- Be courageous

From this you will learn new thinking/acting patterns, new ways of engagement, new strategies, new qualities about yourself, etc..
This will help you reassess your previous strategies, maybe help you formulate new ones! This way you will learn about new things!
This will help you boost your courage and your self!


2. Noticing the things that gets you Excited!

What: 

Develop a habit to Notice most exciting elements of your new activity!

How?

- Think about your day! See what interesting / New happened! Analyze that a bit!

- See if this excites you! Try to feel it! 

- If it does - you will naturally want to reflect more and more about this topic... making stronger and stronger neural connections on this topic.. But first you have to notice it!

Why?

This is important, because you are different than other ppl and you must find your own way/path. You will be drawn towards different things than others!  This is your soul speaking to you, listen! If it gets you excited - then this is for you!

3. Learn&Analyze things that Excite you!

What?

Develop a habit to Dig deeper

How?

- once you have identified the things that get you excited - Reflect on them
- Get to know WHAT Excites You and WHY.

-- Dig DEEPER about these things, find connections, find what gets you excited, plan, think how you can improve them, think what other ppl might be interested in this, think what organizations are doing this. 

Why?

After you identify that somethng excites you - you must learn about this topic more "sleep with it" as the saying goes, so that it will help you form much deeper connections in your brain! Digging deeper will let you see more options about this topic, more variety, more depth, give you better understanding!

4. Decide if this is important to your SSE!

What? 

Develop a habit to Measure if this affects you in any way! 

How?

See how these new experiences/insights/information cab change your life! Immediate and not immediate!

Plan for the future, taking into account this new info/experience!

See if you can improve your life with this new knowledge!

Why?

If you decide that this is important - you can pursue this further!

if you see that this has no importance, you can leave it there, and go find something else!

5. Find how you can Use this new knowledge to best navigate in your SSE!

What? 

Develop a habit to ComeUP with Constructive Conclusions, about - what I can do about this!

How?

After deeper analysis - try to structure this info!

Place it into shelves!
Visualize - how you can use it in your life!

Try to tell someone about this  - this will make you structure this info and you will better understand it, before you tell it to someone else!

Why?

You will remember it easier, understand it deeper

6. ACT

What?

Develop a habit to Go and make it happen - you have done the research already!

... And then start over with 1'st step!

How?

Get in contact, get to know these ppls, get involved into these orgs, Get into these activities, call someone, write a letter, etc..

Why?

Because if you don't act now - you probably will not act at all!

Acting will lead you to new insights/new ppl/new activities/new experiences... and you will better learn about your Environment about yourself about ppl surrounding you!

HABITS

So it all boils down to few habits you have to develop, if you want to improve your navigational skills in your Environment:

Develop a Habit to:

1. Regularly Try something New!

2. Regularly take Notice of most exciting elements of your New activity!

3. Dig deeper into them, get to know what excites you, why!

4. See if this affects you in any way! 

5. ComeUP with Constructive Conclusions -> What you can do with this!

6. Go and USE IT - NOW!

Have fun ;)

Fluoride: The Hard to Swallow Truth

I know it's hard to swallow, but as I outlined earlier, in the course of our history there formed certain groups of individuals thinking they are more important than the rest of the population or the environment..

And in time they devised methods of control - not instantly obvious to the rest, not willing to dig deeper. So you have to dig deeper to learn the truth.

And the truth is that one of their tools to control the population is Fluoride.  And that Fluoride is extremely poisonous to us, yet it is in our foods, in some countries drinking water, in toothpastes etc...
And the lie told to us is that "it helps strengthen our teeth".


Damage caused by the fluoride:
- damage to our teeth self guarding systems
- damage certain braincells which make us less "smart", being not able to stand for our freedoms (e.g. Hitler used to fluoridate occupied territories so that they wouldn't resist)
- Cancer
- Bone disease
-  Thyroid issues
- Kidney disease
- Arthritis
- Lowering of IQ
- Immune deficiencies
- Dental fluorisis
- Calcification of Pineal gland (organ in the brain)
- Skeletal fluorosis
- and much more...
and this is not a fantasy, these are scientifically backed statements, by 18 independent studies all across the world.

The truth is: a person which has been using fluoride for at least a year, will not be as potent as the person could have been. Never. And that is Sad. But better later than never...

So what am I suggesting:
- Throw away all you toothpastes which contain fluoride, buy some Natural ones
- Stop drinking fluoridated water, also check watter bottles labels, some of them also contain fluoride
- if you have access - try to make that your city would not use fluoride anymore in their water systems.
- Tap water still contains various chemicals like chlorine. So what you can do is install water filtration system which filters both fluoride and chlorine.

I just watched this, I also suggest you do the same, this short piece tells us a lot about what fluoridation is and why it is used for/against us:

The Matrix: FOG and Collective Consciousness

Another one I recently wrote elsewhere(before starting this blog) I think this post belongs here

Original post link: http://boomeris.blogspot.com/2011/03/matrix-fog-and-collective-consciousness.html

Original post:

This morning I had some interesting thoughts about underlying problems in our society - civilization...

First let me say what I believe is a GOAL for HUMANITY:

- it's Evolution of Consciousness!

yes I believe it's not our reproduction, I believe it's not our power and wealth, I believe it's not even our survival, it's our Consciousness Evolution!

And by saying consciousness I mean COLLECTIVE Consciousness! Because if one man/woman knows something, this off course might spark a viral spread, yet is highly unlikely that it will! it's only when the critical mass has adopted the idea, when it reaches the significant level.

And currently I see a PROBLEM with that!

Why?

Well has to do with a FOG, that is all around us! Does the saying bring any similarities? Well Morpheus once said this in the matrix - it's all around us,it blinds our eyes of the true reality!

That is what ACTUALLY is happening with our society. We are living in a Matrix! and this matrix(the FOG) clouds our vision of true reality!

So what is exactly this FOG?

We are a very capable beings, capable of :

- understanding ourselves(self consciousness), the world around (science) us and our impact on it(social responsibility)

- Free will - deciding what do we do with the resources that we have (time, power, influence, social connections, knowledge, etc.. )

So we should be able to understand that we are ONE with the rest of the Universe. ("Me and you are of the same blood" Mawgli, call of the jungle) And yes - some of us DO understand this! yet....

Our civilization at one point took a very cloudy path - path of Individualization, which led to many many ills in our current society:

0. Originally we are one with the universe then formed INDIVIDUALISM

(elders say that we understood this underlying principle - that one cannot function without another and then, individualism developed...)

1. Individualism led to Selfish Short Sight

(by carring only how to satisfy our individualistic selfish needs we forgot the the underlying principle- that we are ONE(everything is connected, and one cannot function without another in this universe)

2. Short Sight led to Separation

(We started viewing ourselves as separate from the universe, we started thinking that we can utilize the universe to satisfy our individualistic needs)

3. Separation led to formation of differing levels

(of imporatance)

4. Leveling led to Evaluation of everything (aournd us: ppl, surroundings, animals) based on various KPI's

(KPI's: wealth, influence, soc status, all boils down to - how this object satisfies MY individualistic needs, etc..)

5. Evaluation led to Accumulation of Knowledge/Power

(Certain groups which accumulated most Power/Knowledge started valuing themselves as being more important than the rest of universes elements - other groups of ppl, environment, etc.. )

6. Accumulation of power/Knowledge led to formation of Control mechanisms placed in hands of few short sighted ones

(where few understand how our psysche works and are utilizing this - by  controlling the many, into following THEIR individualistic virtues/goals. These mechanisms are: artificial attention attractors, detracting us from IMPORTANT THINGS, sucking us back into individualistic way of life)

7. Control mechanisms in hands of short sighted lead to Formation of collective consciousness which is also short sighed and  Separate from the rest of the Universe

(directed by FEW extremely selfish individuals)

8.  Short sighted Collective consciousness  leads to formation of Cancerous Society

(cancer cells are cells which fail to communicate to the Whole body, and act selfishly consuming the life out of the rest of the body, without understanding that, and without realizing that when the body fails, the cancer itself will fail to exist too. Our current state of civilization is heading the same way, we fail to communicate to the rest of universe, we think we are masters of it and therefore we guided by our selfish ILL needs & improvise God, yet When the body (earth) is depleted of all life bringing energy, it will Die... and we fail to realize, that we will die with it! Therefore We are the same as Cancer )

7. Cancerous Society leads to DEATH of Earth

(it's just a matter of time, until cancer consumes the body. Same applies if the body is earth, and cancer is the society/Civilization)

So Individualism leads to DEATH of Earth & of our Civilization

There are sooooooooo many things happening, so many distractions, that we FAIL to see the big picture, fail to see the TRUE connections. We start to believe that we are the MOST important, and  we act accordingly, destroying everything else, utilizing it to the last drop/living being. 

I can only hope, that with the invention of INTERNET, we can accelerate certain processes:

- evolution of communities which UNDERSTAND the underlying principle, that we are ONE with the rest of the universe, that everything is CONNECTED, and that the faith of earth depends on our choices and actions

- degradation of Individualism, and increase valuation of collectivism (embracing the underlying principle)

- connection with the rest of the Earth, stopping utilizing it to meet our individualistic selfish needs and starting co-evolving with it!

I just hope these ideas will reach Critical mass, until it's too late

Please fellow human beings, Wake up to this

Thank you for your time reading this

Addictions

Hello fellow Human being,

Let me start with this quote:
"...just to put it in very simple terms: it's a story about us - people - being persuaded to spend money we don't have on things we don't need to create impressions that won't last on people we don't care about." Tim Jackson told this in his Ted speech: http://www.ted.com/talks/tim_jackson_s_economic_reality_check.html


This time I want to talk about Addictions. I wrote this piece quite some time ago in a different blog, yet I will expand on it a bit in the ending. (http://boomeris.blogspot.com/2010/11/addictions.html)

I will start by saying:
- most of us understand ourselves as flesh/mind, not as something bigger, therefore we develop such wonderful creations as Addictions

Here is a full text from that post:
<---START--->

Just watched movie about Ip man, went to shower and this is what idea I received:

"Only when you Master IT yourself, you will be able to teach the rest of us"

Grateful

And the more I think of it, the clearer it becomes!

I have a dream of a World free of Addictions, a world governed by a FREE and Conscious will!

Currently people living on Earth have LOOOOOOOOTS of addictions(alcohol, drugs, shopping, various forms of entertainment, casual sex, etc..  There is nothing wrong with all of these activities, until they become an addiction, which they do very very very often, to so many people). And this is a very painful path to take. Addiction is like a virus for our consciousness - it takes our Mind and Free Will as a PRISONER.

So addiction is a FREE WILL's Prison!!!

Also it's quite difficult to get out of addictions, even for someone who understands that he has an addiction, because addiction - when it's time for it to act - overtakes(kidnaps) our free will, our ability to think critically, even our WILL to think critically, and we without any questioning - obey the commands given by our addiction

For a person who hardly recognizes addiction as harmful is Extremely hard to get rid of it. In this state I would say it's impossible, in the state where person recognizes - then it gains some chances. So the first goal for ppl who don't recognize addiction as harmful - is education.

But how do you educate a mind which doesn't want to be educated????

- by showing a better way! Don't fight the evil, instead take the lost soul by the hand, and show the better way, show something else, show the beauty of a different path, and let the them decide on their own. Be humble - it's pretty hard for them to cope with all the changes. Take it slow, don't rush!

Well I was just thinking "out loud"... I really want to see a world where people are happy, where people are thoughtful, where people are conscious - I believe is a world worth seeing and sweating for...

So in order for me to teach others how to live addiction free life,  a better life, where You are controlled by your OWN FREE WILL, I first need to MASTER it myself, only then I will be able to teach the rest...

<---END--->

Afterthoughts

How does this relate to Ego? Well there is a direct link to Ego, because it's our ego, which tells us that we are more important than the rest of the universe, and that we can utilize the rest of the world to meet our Ego'istic needs.. And as far as addictions - they are a mechanism for malevolent groups of individuals, who understand how human psyche work - to Control our Ego, while destroying this world! 

Addicions - as a perfect tool for control of our spyche

If you manage to create an addiction in a being - you control this being! Why? Because this being follows the addiction blindly! It is extremely difficult to say No to an addiction! Requiring enormous self control/self will/dedication, only highly conscious beings can do this. 

And if the addiction is made into a social norm - and you see everyone else doing so, then you think "this must not be THAAAT bad", so you become easy on yourself! Well - it's a trap. And one - extremely difficult to get out of! In time we simply forget that this was harmful/dangerous! 

And so we become the marionettes, who think that they are not.

Main characteristic of an addiction - it makes you feel Good about yourself!

Most addictions please our Body/or our emotions directly, which both please our Ego! And if this addiction pleases an Ego, then it sets us apart from the rest of the universe. For example when you go shopping (which is an addiction to many) you think about your Egoistic needs ("I need more clothes, which will show the rest how cool I am") yet we almost NEVER think about the other side of this: the fact that in order for these clothes to appear here lots of resources were chopped of, sometimes animals killed, earth devastated, etc.. No we don't think about that, we think - how pretty we will look like.

And once we  buy our clothes, we show them the rest of us.. But time passes, the joy dissolves very quickly, and we start craving for a new shot of addictive behavior...

This temporarily helps us feel better, because we think that we are just a Body&Mind. And that makes it a purely Egoistic Addiction, because we care only about our selfish needs! 

Same applies to other addictions. They Stop us from thinking. Without any critical evaluation - they make us please our Bodily&Emotional Egoistic cravings. Again and again we want to get back to the same High's of an addiction, and so we as slaves follow them blindly, taking more and more shots without any questioning, and so getting our routine shots become necessary for us!

I am a human and I have lots of addictions. Yes I managed to get rid of some of them, but as I go with my life, I see more and more of them in various places. The most common Addiction example:

- primarily addictions are linked to Alcohol/tobacco/drugs - all of these via pleasing our body/emotions temporarily improve our sense of well being. Yet in time they evolve into an Addiction, because we think that we can't do certain things without these substances

Yet there are some activities, which could be classified as addictions too, if you look at them from a certain perspective. So they are addictions to:

- Sex, especially casual - oh yes very pleasant, yet it's an addiction. 

- Food  - ghmm, I think one can't get rid of that one, yet it's still an addiction

- Shopping  - yes very pleasant to many, yes pleases our emotions, temporarily improves our sense of well being, but fading quickly, therefore it's an addiction

- Money - yes we can survive without them, yet we were led to think that we can't, and now nearly noone thinks they can survive without them

So there are people who CREATE addictions. They create fashion industry, they created central banks which leads us into monetary addictions, they control media - which makes any addiction a social norm... These individuals Control our lives, because they control our addictions. And as long as we let them - this will continue!

Hello Ego

yes yes - you... You don't agree with me, then wait a bit...

I have been doing a lot of research into various topics: small and big, discovering what is causing some of the biggest ills of our civilization, and I think I am onto something here. So in this blog I will be discussing these topics, see if I can come up with some solid conclusions (I think I can)

Part of the job is done(Start of the research), now comes the rest of it:

• Communication of our findings with the ones who CARE about the future of our civilization... 
• Let's see if we can find a common ground and drill down to the deepest depths to find the causes of our current state of civilization
• Once we think we found the causes, let's come up with solutions 
• Only together we can help make this world a better place
• Finally - let's make it happen
• Alone we are strong, together we are invincible

So dear Ego, I welcome you, You are the BEST what evolution could come up with, so please voice yourself, let us hear what you think, let's discuss, let's find the best answers, let's learn about the world, and then let's help it become the healthiest and happiest place in the universe!
That is my wish.

It's 2011 20'th of April and this is the Start...
