My Thoughts in Such things as Culture, Religion, and Society

My Thoughts in Such things as Culture, Religion, and Society

When referring to Culture, Religion, and Authenticity within both Culture and Society, I truly see that many individuals use this as an excuse so that they may Cower behind their Rotten Bark and Shrivel away like Grotesque Empty Shells. Please forgive me for being both rood and blunt but please allow me to clarify.

How many of us are sincere? When I ask this, I am referring to being true to ourselves to the most capable that we can. Let me ask this then, how many of us face our selves with our fullest courage.

How many of us run away from the truth within us?

What I have seen is many individuals walk the paths of Suppression, Torture in all forms, Self Delusion, and Cowardice in regards to others and themselves.

Examples; The Caste system in India; Female genital mutilation across different cultures and religions; Foot Binding in Past China; and Honor Killing in Sindh, Pakistan and across different cultures and religions as well… A few examples out of the many realities…

What of cults like the racist Ku Klux Klan and the new extremist that have self proclaimed themselves as evangelical Christians?

I know that many wonders of life like culture and honest religious beliefs do exist but what I mentioned above just isn’t that.

Every single sentinel being on this planet Knows exactly what’s within them and any individual who musters the courage to face that knows that their logic, and their thoughts and actions do not, Ever, resort to the suppression of others, to the torture of others in any form, to the self delusion that “justifies”, nor to any form of Cowardice.

When One is honest with themselves and sincere in their pursuit of truth and happiness, that One discovers that they change and that they will continue to change so long as they walk in the path that is sincerest to what they Know is true to them.

Seeing someone suffer, suppressed, mutilated, raped, and trade off as product “slaves” stands up with their courage and defends against such inhumane thoughts and action.
Calling it “Culture” and “religion” is something that has neither logic nor any valid grounds to do so.

All of us make an impact on how we connect, act, think, and react towards ourselves and everyone/every life around us.

I ask for sincerity, bravery, and the willingness to actually think about one’s own thoughts and action. When I say sincerity, I mean it not as the half baked falsehood that many of us tend to choose at times. In the grounds of Morality; just look within without the bullshit. Otherwise, we will continue to get all this hatred – of – fear as we still do.

Those are my thoughts on the matter and I am always Sincere.

Within Secrecy Lies My Secret

Within Secrecy Lies My Secret

Secrecy is a very funny thing in which where one instance it helps yet somewhat ironic in how it can harm just the same. “Helping or Hurting” it still remains to be very vital in all the uses that secrecy provides for either individual or group.

Let me start with myself as one example. As open and as honest as I may be I most defiantly keep many secrets and for many strong and deep reasons. When I have reasons for it I will use my secrecy in a form of self defense for one. When I make an Oath I always keep them unless a primary Oath compels me above my secondary Oath. Some of my other reasons are on preventing someone else from harm; not trusting someone to the extent that is needed; if I feel that another is not ready for such a secret or that they cannot handle such a things at that point of time I would also hold my tongue. Other things I keep in lock simply because they are of an intimate and private matter that is only shared between “myself and my other”. I also keep things shared between an individual and myself to myself. I don’t think that one needs any explanation.

I am a young master in martial arts and there are many ancient and deep secrets kept for very strict reasons from the very beginning of time. A lot of things such as elemental control, elemental creation which is then warped into – from what has yet to be – into being – and then manipulated to what is desired and wanted, has always been one of those secrets. Many individuals think that this is a mere fantasy or just an imagination but for those that share my knowledge and training know very well that this is not true. It is and has always been our reality and it is kept such a secret for very obvious reasons. There are many that fall into that branch but that is something that I really cannot speak of especially to those that I have yet to trust to what is needed.

Secrets within governments are also kept for similar reasons however in a government’s case there tend to be more “creative” reasons and circumstances to such “kept secrets”.

There is one project where a sub-division of the US government along with the other sub – divisions of other governments that actually succeeded in one of their most recent joint projects. The project consisted of building a machine that uses a few things like “Dark energy or Dark matter” and gravitational warping or manipulation so that a “worm hole” is created, sustained and then gone through for the purpose of going to one place of the galaxy to the other within a matter of minutes to hours regardless of point or “time” in space. The project was an outstanding success, of course since our friends of other planets shared that with us and joined with that team so that this time around we would succeed. In this case this is spectacular news but regardless of the matter the “we the public” were told that it was a failure. I myself do understand and respect the decision to keep it a secret. I ask you, what many reason could they have of keeping that from the “public”. To speak of one obvious one, sharing this openly would bring into light many, many other secrets which to some extent and with good reason, “we the people”, are still not ready for.

This one is quite positive however not all are as such. HIV is manmade and was made here in the US to be exact. The project was made in hopes of finding a cure for specific diseases. Three strands of DND were cut and fused together, that of a human, one of our friends from another planet, and a monkey, if my memory serves right… In the process an accident occurred and instead of the intended cure HIV was instead created. Afterwards, the vaccine was also created as a counter measure for safety purposes. At that time the purpose for the secret was simply for the sake of research and because of its accident. Afterwards, a fanatical member, from the infamous K.K.K. as it’s know here in the US, stole the virus and guess at who the intended victims were? After the following incident of infecting who he wanted the perpetrator was caught and tried for Treason, if I recall correctly. All of a sudden the reasons for the secrets just grew more complicated didn’t it? The vaccines back then is no longer any good as HIV as evolved and has grown immune to the first one along with the infection of even more individuals.

Another incident involves the two towers. Many are unaware but the two towers’ frames were enhances with stronger metals and minerals so that planes crashing into them could not melt the support. There was a project that involved the creation of a “Tactical Nuclear” mini Bmb. Even though the blue prints of the two towers were used in its creation the intended target was never the two towers. Everyone who has studied weaponry, warfare, etc… knows that targets are assigned as only an example to help better create such things. The unfortunate incident of a “higher up” issuing the thing to be taken and used in the first places caused what we all “saw” and “missed” what we didn’t “see”. There are many reasons for keeping this a secret with the two being; National Security and not letting the people of the US know that their own government had lost control of its self. Very harsh yet complicating indeed…

The things to seriously consider when faced with such secrets start with the Prima Facie Duty that exists within all countries. A lot of the individuals that are involved with such things do swear upon such a duty and are even sometimes tried with treason for breaking such a tie – of words. The second thing to seriously consider is the ways in which we not only connect the dots but in how we think or as mentioned in our class, the way we think on how we think. Dialectic thinking as one example…

Issues like these are complex, involve a lot of things within and around such things, and are not easy to grasp/handle. If we are not careful then there are many mistakes in which we could make in our thinking and in our processing of such events, projects, etc… Regardless of how I may personally feel, it is no wonder why these things are kept in the way that they are.

Deciding what to keep secret and everything else surrounding it is very impacting and very weightily indeed. Keep this advice in mind then when thinking of Secrecy. It is always one’s choice when within the path of secrecy therefore, always bear in mind everything tied to such a path and always remember to express yourself so as to better cope and grasp such a path.

Mistaking Through My Thoughts

Mistaking Through My Thoughts

I have indeed notice that we all do make intellectual mistakes from time to time. For me it usually happens when I am thinking a bit too much and with my thoughts racing to such speeds, well it is to be expected. Although, I usually make them when I am either mentally exhausted, grumpy in the early mornings, or when I get a bit too excited and carried away with any specific subject. That’s when I forget to listen to myself and “put my big foot in my mouth”. My small speech impediment doesn’t help either but then again my intellectual mistake is still my mistake.

Like mentioned in other writings, problems in our communication and understanding of one another do happen all the time. Intellectual mistakes are a cause for that but, and this is a big But, the main causes for this is our unwillingness, our arrogance, our lack of both respect and self discipline, and our continuous pursuit of falsehood and unfaith within our own thoughts. As stated by one of mine own professors, Mindfulness. Striving to always be mindful is key and the core for pierces through our self inflicting barriers so that we may succeed in our desired within.

I apologize for going off course there however; let us return to the beginning. I have also noticed that intellectual mistakes have come to bring a lot of laughter within our lives as well as the leading too many wonderful discoveries and experiences as well as intimate understandings. The best example would be with your opposite one or with the one you have chosen as your love. Those moments where you say the complete opposite of what you had intended yet She / He somehow understood you. How about the times where in your own mistake you discovered something that you had missed at lets say the beginning perhaps? Or within the pursuit of the truths from our own our mistake led us to clarity. Something to really think on and reflect no?

Walking Seperate Paths Through Hand and Hand

Walking Separate Paths Through Hand and Hand

It was really nice and enjoyable to be able to speak with Emily and even more so in getting to know her even if it was for bit. When I took her role for day I found out something very interesting about my partner and me.

I have a very driven passion and immense love for my Animation/Gaming/Martial Arts and with my other great passions as well. Emily’s passions are found more within Twitter, in her pursuit of becoming a journalist, and even more in her love of her dearest mother. Both of us walk within two different paths yet our unwavering passion and unyielding strength binds us hand in hand. We both are so different yet I can see myself within her heart as clear as an Arrow through its path as it makes its way towards its target.

Taking her shoes for a day really did help me understand what drives and moves her and in doing so allowed me to better understand my friend Emily. Now that I think about though, I am reminded of both Plato’s and Aristotle’s play within Rhetoric. For the sake of our pursuit in both truth and understanding we must learn to look and listen within ourselves and within each other. This exercise reminded me of their actual intended message and of the experience in doing so. Those guys were really something else

Our Solitude, Our Solid State

Our Solitude, Our Solid State

I do agree immensely with William Deresiewic in the vital importance of solitude or, as I would, state it, allowing ones’ self to be in a state of solitude when needed so that true spiritual, mental, and physical growth may take place. Or as William states “Solitude [for the sake of] secure [ing] the integrity of self.” – William.

A lot of the individuals that I have met do tend to live exclusively in relation to others. Always in a false state, thinking that being real involves the existence of others “seeing” and acknowledging you.

I deeply feel that many have forgotten Purpose, Beauty, Love, Life, Truth… It is excruciatingly sad to notice this every day. Have so many of us truly forgotten? Is it really possible for so many of us to forget what we swore to always remember, to always be aware of?

Speaking of which, I do always allow myself to be in a solid state of solitude. The thing is however, that after many years of training and reaching up to where I’m at, I have taken control and evolved My state of being to the next level. A different state forged from two. Allow me to clarify a bit, while I am immersed in a state of solitude I am also simultaneously in a state of full awareness. Both states forged together anew for preparations of the next journey towards the next state. I am currently now close towards the next level. I can’t really express what it’s like always being in that state of two non the case, that is my answer.

As far as the news goes, I almost never rely on the news in concerns with my actionable information. I walk my path far apart the paths of others, immerging and ever flowing towards my sky of roads from which I create through my Love, my Peace, my Wings…

To Be Poetic Nor Rhetoric

To be Poetic nor Rhetoric

I do understand both Aristotle and Plato on their rhetoric. I would prefer to concentrate on what I see instead however. When Plato talks about great poets as “rhetoricians” I do understand from where he is coming from. Just the same with Aristotle when he defines rhetoricians as one who is able to see what is always persuasive and rhetoric as the ability to see the persuasive in any case. I do see, too an extent, that rhetoric is useful in outwitting the intended audience and in also concealing ones’ true aim.

In those regards I personally feel that the whole thing is disgraceful and disrespectful as well. A child will always be able to see particular behavior as disgraceful, disrespectful, rood, foolish, immature, ignorant, dishonorable, and plain stupid really. This whole concept of thinking that one is better than the other; that one is far more intelligent than the other; that one is “knows” more and “understands” more than the other regardless of any reasons given; this whole thing is really something that our society and so many of us have forged within our minds. Is this really growth, dignity, or even logical? What then ever happened to just being honest?

What of the rhetorical questions of the five W’s in questioning everything? In that aspect I would see it as the principles of exploring and learning about ourselves as well as each other. One very vital necessity of that however is the sincerity, straightforwardness, and willingness of noble intent and state of being that is always required when asking Who, What, When, Why, and even Where.

Rhetoric as a form of speaking and writing, such as story telling, finds it home. It remains far distant from both its principles and true nature when expressing one’s self “honestly”… Then again what Is rhetoric? What Is it’s true nature? What Exactly do both Plato and Aristotle mean? Could it just be possible that their intended message has been overlooked?

What of poetry? For matters of the utmost significance Philosophical Poetry with the five W’s in mind as one of it’s sets principle would be vital in the ever flowing pursuit of grasping such important matters. Plato mentions two things, the significant philosophical and interpretive challenges that poetry brings forth and Poetry as a kind of rhetoric. Tying that together with everything I mentioned before as a means of thinking honestly and in asking the better corrective questions allows me to acknowledge and agree with Plato on those two aspects. By those means I agree with both Plato and Aristotle or rather from what is written of them both than of what they really thought and meant. Even Plato’s comment on the clashes between the “comprehensive world – view” within philosophy and rhetoric is tied to my message.

Our methods our like The Arrow soaring forth towards the intent Red Target. Classifying everything while simultaneously separating everything causes us to focus immensely on the small red dot a few miles below the Red Target. So much so that rather than shooting straight, The Arrow swerves down towards that small red dot, hits right though it, and continue on completely missing the Intended Red Target. Had that Arrow followed through it would have Significantly gone beyond the focus of the small detail and more on the grasp of the Bigger picture. After all what is the intent of an Arrow?

I have also notice that there is a grave error in the enormous importance In the assessment of poetry. Along with Rhetoric, philosophy, and the like… Like Dylan Thomas states, “A good poem helps to change the shape and Significance of the universe, helps to extend everyone’s Knowledge of himself and the world around him.” (Dylan Thomas).

I will never agree with the misuse and current way that the rhetoric way is used today. One should always be straightforward in their means and even in the deception and intent in outwitting those who mean to cause great harm or peril should one also always remain straightforward. Our methods not only shape our minds and way of life but also make the difference in how our minds, souls, and bodies intertwine and grow with each other in our journey of forming ourselves, in our grasp of understanding, and our sight and aim of Knowledge.

On a last note, I do acknowledge both Aristotle and Plato as being truly great thinkers and Philosophers as well, among many other things. However, I still see that many of us today miss what they were trying to show all of us; they’re True Intent rather than what is actually taught at our many universities.

Our Ghost within Ghost in the Shell

Information and Access to that information has always been very important and vital for us all. Within the first film of the Ghost in the Shell series, The Ghost in the Shell (film), this is even more so. Section 9 depends on the information and in its accuracy. The problem arises when other factions like Section 6 and the “Muppet Master” use, cloud, and manipulate the information like in the film for their own deceptive means. Section 6 deceiving Section 9 and breaking into their complex is a good example.

I think that one’s “Ghost” in the Ghost in the Shell means two things. Either it may mean that it’s a beings soul or one’s mind. Either way it is believed within the film that one’s Ghost resides within one’s brain or that the mind is the soul.

I see things a bit differently… I see our Ghost as our Soul, which connects to our heart; that our Mind, which connects to our brain, is our “human” part; and that our Body connects to our body or neural system.

Our Ghost/soul within the film fits as a way to guide the minds & body of the characters. When Motoko Kusanagi, “the Major", dives deep in the ocean and leaves herself in a state of solitude she demonstrates, for those who are able to see, a method in which Motokos’ soul lets her know of her essences/inner self. She connected with her Ghost, her mind, and body. Each and every time that she dived into her state of solitude she grew closer to herself and understood herself in depth and together.

The characters that had their “Ghost” hacked, or their cybernetic brains, had memories implanted and as we saw thought they knew what they “knew”.

It is not Motokos’ physical senses nor her memories that truly allow her to be sure of what she knows but her Ghost that really defines it and that shows her who she really is, that her memories are real and her own, and that her senses are indeed accurate.
