Orgasmic Vancouver: Acknowledged Truth

Third Night News is the latest edition of Ian's newsletter (the Mayan Majix guy) which came out a couple of days ago, and is the source of the following quote which I remember from his lecture.

"In the tapes, and in the live lectures I have given, I have discussed Mind, explaining that this creature is not really the faithful, supportive friend that it tries to make you believe it is. Mind is a self-survival mechanism that would rather be right even if it means you must die. The only cause of suicide is someone’s Mind coming up with more reasons to die (cover up bad decisions) than to let him or her live—and be a continual reminder that the Mind was wrong or not in control?"

Which makes me think who/what is the "mind" that is running this planet? Right now it appears to be the Bush cabal with the backing of the banks. This depresses me because they would rather we were all dead than acknowledge that those with the most money, have the power, have the right to make the decisions for us all. There is a big battle for control, which reminds me of the movie Instinct a movie staring Anthony Hopkins. Great movie, and the plot summary from the linked site is below.

"Nearly two years after having gone amiss in Africa, renowned anthropologist Dr. Ethan Powell is caught attacking a group of gorilla-poachers. He is imprisoned in a Florida mental institution, where aspiring psychologist Dr. Theo Calder takes over his important case. Dr. Powell, who has been with a group of gorillas during all that time, is not talking at all and seems to be living in a dreamworld. Very slowly, Dr. Calder manages to reach Ethan Powell and starts finding out why Ethan killed two of the poachers. Yet Theo's case is not just about why the murders have happened, but also about how Dr. Powell became the being he is in the first place. With Ethan's silence broken, Theo is introduced into a world beyond common human comprehension: The true nature of being. He learns that mankind's control of everything is a mere illusion and that the true values of existence can't be found so easily. Ethan changes Theo's view of things forever."

My opinion is that when truth is acknowledged then it is acted upon in such a way that we are no longer ashamed and feel a need to keep it covered up. I think the majority of people are awake, but they just don't have a reason to get out of bed. This could change very quickly once that critical mass is achieved that gives people hope that they are not alone and that they won't be sacrificed for the comfort of the others. Then again, I could be just a disillusioned optimist.

great movie! but I still don't see the majority of people being awake. Its easier to keep old beliefs, dogma etc than stir all this up and release it then replace with something different. It's called comfort zone  

5 Aug 2004 @ 02:32 by ov : Comfort Zone
Good concept that one, the comfort zone, heard said that one only learns when they are outside of the comfort zone. There are fewer and fewer people all the time that a members of the comfort zone, especially when you consider the whole world. We are a fairly priviledged group that can hang out on high speed internet connect for long periods of time. I strongly suspect that the people in the third world that are getting screwed over have a very clear and accurate idea of who is doing the screwing.

That would make an interesting experiment, having a long line of people and at the end are two doors, one labeled COMFORT and the other labeled FREEDOM and everybody has to pick one or the other to go through. I can't remember the details of the story, it's been decades, but wasn't there a story about a Tiger and a Lady that would be seamless if the two sets of words were transposed?

entails responsibility. How much easier is it to blame someone else than to make a decision and then stick to it. Just can't agree with you on this one, Ov. Seen too much of the "comfort zone" happening around me. Perhaps things are different on your side of the world, you know different approach to life, different mentality.

the majority don't see theres a problem,therefore they don't think there needs to be a change,some aren't even willing to look at the whole picture,maybe because it is too overwhelming. Thinking if we don't put any effort into thinking about it it just might go away or let someone else handle it. Going through the motions day by day for monetary survival keeps ones mind only focused on the immeditate problems.

My impression is that Australia, next to Israel, is the USA's biggest buddy. Half way around the world and they couldn't wait to join on the stars wars program. Australis was one of the few countries that joined the coalition in the invasion of Iraq. They don't have cluster bombs dropping on them, and they aren't one of the countries that are scheduled for genocide. Maybe Britian, next to Israel, is the USA's biggest buddy, or at least with the politicians, but the Brits also had some of the world's largest anti-war protests.

"Going through the motions day by day for monetary survival keeps ones mind only focused on the[ir] immeditate problems." Eeh, hear you on that one Spiritseek. That's my problem right now, getting back into the matrix enough to stock up the bank account again is going to take so much of my time that I might as well cancel my cable and drop off the net for awhile. It's not just the time I'd spend at work, and getting to work (especially when I don't have a car), but also the life long learning thing towards the 'career', and spending my spare time with the work buddies having drinks and making sure that I think the same thing that they do because disturbing somebody else's comfort zone is the kiss of death. Wish I had talent, analysis isn't really a talent, more of a skill that only has value to an employer.

the PM and some politicians follow US, although a great amount of the population do not have the same point of view. Ozzies are pretty lay back, "she'll be right mate" is usually the attitude (comfort zone?) but when it came to fighting in a war there were huge demonstrations here, by our standards and a lot of disagreement by the public as to the PM's decision.  

6 Aug 2004 @ 11:32 by ov : Sounds like Canada
Canadians are pretty laid back and like to avoid a conflict, which puts them in the situation of either a conflict with the middle east or a conflict with the US right next door. Then there is the creeping salami slicing technique used so well by Papa Joe Stalin, small incremental changes don't seem sufficient enough to draw that line the sand, and before you know it you're nickle and dimed to death like boiling a frog.

An important issue here in Canada, which needs to be turned into a big deal so that the above doesn't happen is the Missle Defense which the PM Paul Martin campaigned on a platform that there was no way that Canada would participate in the weapons in space program, but today's news shows we have both feet on that slippery slope.
