The Truth About The Law Of Attraction
I want to correct a huge misconception that people have about this so-called Law of Attraction. For those of you not familiar with this “law”, I am referring to the concept put forth by people who are on the path of enlightenment. This concept is one that has you believing you can control your reality through your thought. The concept has seen many incarnations, mostly variants of the same thing given a new twist by money making scam artists. The “name it and claim it” concept of some evangelical religious groups that claim all you have to do is to believe and you will get what you want is one example. The well known authors of the “The Secret” concept is another. If you are unfamiliar with these then please Google them. I cannot get too sidetracked by explaining everything here. The point is that there are many variants of … Continue reading

In case you have forgotten…just so you know…the state of humanity…
Many of us are fighting the uplift war, a war to uplift mankind from its primitive animal instincts to a higher level of consciousness and reality. In view of this and since I am one of the warriors, a light worker so to speak, I feel it is probably good to remind us of certain things so that we have this wake up call in order to survive and prosper. Like many people today, I am a light worker, but an ignorant one working almost entirely in the dark. I too am struggling with my own uplift. I do not know the answers to many questions. All I do know is that I am still looking for good solutions to problems and that I am not satisfied with my current level of truth awareness. I have always felt motivated towards searching for a more accurate truth, being unwilling to accept … Continue reading

How to succeed in life: A message for those seeking truth.
Here is the message: Neither think nor do a negative thought and neither think a destructive thought nor contemplate a destructive act. That is the real secret to life. That was the short answer, given up front to show that I was not kidding and I mean what I say, and to save you time if you have no patience for learning. If you want a long answer, then read on for now begins a more lengthy explanation. I have a message for all of you. I have the answer to happiness, success and if such a thing even exists, a happy life after death. It is a closely guarded secret and I will neither bamboozle you with words, nor will I require you to join a cult, sign anything, or send me money. I am giving you back your freedom. I am placing you in control. I am concerned … Continue reading

The implications to Natural Philosophy of extraterrestrial life and its relationship to life on Earth.
Life on Earth has evolved from the simple to the complex. I will assume the reader is familiar with at least the basic concepts of Darwin’s theory and of evolution and biology in general. Darwin’s theory of natural selection accounts for the survival of successful life forms and for the increase in complexity resulting from such selective pressures as he describes. Such selective pressures allow for more and more complex organisms and symbiotic relationships that may or may not eventually evolve to be a single organism. For example, mitochondria are assumed to have been “eaten” whole by certain free cells and instead of being digested, the mitochondria survived in the host cell, obtaining nutrients from the cell while giving energy to the cell in return. This would be an example of how two different organisms combined to become one. Was this relationship a symbiotic one at first before the ultimate … Continue reading

Declaration of Human Sovereignty
I no longer agree with, nor support this declaration. (Due to a recent comment, I insert this: I am not the author of this document. Although I support the idea of a declaration of human sovereignty, I do not necessarily believe in the existence of aliens nor in the accusations as written in this document). I do not believe in a God, nor in a creator in the religious sense, but I do believe in a morality which preserves the freedom and dignity of individuals. The declaration should be meant not only for us, the “human family”, but for every other physical and spiritual life form in the Universe. I would change a great deal of the text in this document as it accuses without evidence. I would further delete or change the concept of ownership of resources or property because this document merely expands our tribal and territorial barbarity … Continue reading

Should we allow species “x” to survive?
A news headline that the tree line was moving north toward the arctic inspired this post. Comments raged between people who despise big oil for causing environmental meltdown, and those who say it’s just part of a natural process. Both sides pick factoids from the internet to support their dogmatism. Arguments about global warming aside, the fact is that humans have directly and indirectly caused massive ecosystem changes. The ecosystems of the planet will never be the same. We can never make North America, for example, like it was 300 years ago when buffalo roamed freely. We can never remove imported species from the Great Lakes. In the same way if the caribou are threatened by the tree line moving north they will likely not be able to survive as well as they survive now. The reason is that they are not free to move. Man is here to stop … Continue reading
