Yay! MySpace fixed part of the msplinks redirects issue talked about here: http://pigeonsnest.co.uk/stuff/crapstuff/msplinks.html
NEVER click on any ads shown on myspace.... Rupurt Murdoch has child slave labor in third world countries to do that already.
Anyway.... Inerests:
Paradoxes interest me.
This sentanse contains three erors.
"Free" &/or alternative energy sources. The laws of Thermodynamics. Researching various things from a multitude of perspectives/angles. Accelerated (super) learning . Hypnosis. NLP. Methods of Mind Manipulation. Chi. Kundalini DNA Mutation. Soft-style Martial Arts. Dim-mak. Healing. Exploiting The Placebo Effect (Whatever works, right? Who cares if we don't fully understand how!?! Oh, I know... people who feel their career, &/or foundational beliefs might be threatened). Synchronicity . Fate. Free Will. Multiple Realities & Time Travel . (Everything that can happen, has; you just need to choose to be there) Bi-location. Invisibility. Levitation. ESP. Telekinesis. Lucid Dreaming. Astral Travel/OBE's. NDE's. Aliens . Our supposedly Immortal Soul/Light-Bodies. Psychic phenomena . Reality Hacking. Culture Jamming. Propaganda, obviously. Mis & Disinformation . Red Herrings . Rhetoric, Debate, & Logical Fallacies, though I'm only just learning yet. Bias . Cognitive Dissonance . Delusional people. Vested interests. Conflict & Controversy (but not in my personal life!). Privacy. Religion (not willingly affiliated with any known religion). (so called) "Spirituality." Prophecy. The Occult. Prayer/Magick/Creation/Manifestation/etc. Science (especially physics). Philosophy - mainly Eastern. Little known & Controversial Historical Knowledge (pejoratively called Pseudohistory ). Archeology, Anthropology and other Social Sciences. Cryptozoology Linguistics (I'm cunning at it ;-) & Etymology. Politics (hate politicians! wouldn't mind so much being one, except that I'd likely be assassinated or otherwise "silenced" because I would refuse to play by their rules - that oppositional defiant thing again). Sex. $. Sex. Sex again. Power . Lies, Deception & "Conspiracy" related stuff. Coincidence theories . Security & Freedom. Heart & Mind. Heaven & Hell. Balancing Duality. The "Holy" Trinity. "Oneness." Love. Truth. "Justice". Freedom. The American way is debatable. Which way is that exactly? OK, you get the point. I'm not so much interested in my interests though, as much as what I believe to be in the best interests of humanity as a whole - not small secret " 1337 " organizations! My interests lie in making "the world" a better place to live. Finding what needs to be done to do that. I'm full of good ideas - I just need action. I am only one person - I need a support structure (see: Cult). Maybe I'm just lazy.
Counterpoise:
A stable state characterized by the cancellation of all forces by equal opposing forces: balance, equilibrium, equipoise, stasis.
Whoops!, I almost forgot COINTELPRO , Martial Law, Concentration Camps for dissenters, Biological "Implants," NSA Spying, like ECHELON , Carnivore , & The (Total) Information Awareness Office!
Sure I like all sorts of trivial (to me) crap too, but there is more to my life than trivial pursuit. I sometimes hate that I like, & often get caught up in, "trivial" stuff.
Some of my postings in groups
I'm not going to rule anyone out, but a few things that bother me about some people:
Arrogance. Thinking you already know - Your brain is full, no room to learn, go home. The inability to suspend disbelief. Atheists. Come on people, like you know that there isn't "something" - agnosticism at least isn't so arrogant as to presume. "True Believer" religious fundamentalist types really really bother me too. Like they know there is "something" - & then even go so far as to say that they know exactly what it is, & they are so right all the time while anyone who doesn't agree with them is automatically wrong... sickens me (odd, as its so much like me, at times). Lets start a war about it while we're at it, even though thats so against everything they claim to believe. Fucking god damned Pharisees (in the 'hypocritical and arrogant person who places the letter of the law above its spirit' usage of the word - please, no offense if you're a Jew who subscribes to Pharisaic Judaism - not trying to be anti-Semitic here - blame Christianity). Pseudo-skeptics & "debunkers" bother the hell out of me too. While often they claim to be promoting critical thinking & pointing out scam artist (which is good), sometimes I'm not so sure. What is their motivation really? Sometimes they are just as bad as religious zealots, in my opinion. People who are content to go about their lives unthinkingly bother me. Business isn't usual anymore. People who are ultra materialistic, give a shit about celebrity, watch shows like "The OC," "Laguna Beach," or most lame so called "reality" TV are too easily amused. & thats me putting it nicely. I don't care for shallow flaky people. I don't care for myself then, as I can be pretty shallow sometimes too. I'll never deny that I'm hypocritical. I'll also never claim to be humble (sometimes I've got self-esteem "issues" though... does that count?), as that would be boasting. Kind of a catch-22. Me thinks thee doth protest too much.
So basically, whatever traits you may exhibit that I might find less than attractive are fine with me so long as their fine with you (trying to be tolerant & "politically correct" here.... such bullshit. Some things just aren't OK though.), but when talking to or otherwise relating to me, check that shit at the door & have something more meaningful to talk about or else leave me the hell alone. I can "do" small-talk, but I hate it. I prefer to relate to people on a deeper level or not at all. Which is usually the case, as I'm somewhat of an introverted recluse. Most(?) people suck. I also spend a lot less time on here as of late because Myspace sucks!
To me though, just about everything sucks.
I'd also like to eventually meet a nice girl who sucks.
I do want to meet people who want to cut through all the crap in life- to get to the heart of the matter of things. People who aren't afraid to examine their own values & beliefs, & are willing to suspend disbelief in search for what is "true."
I want to meet people who want to take the red pill
(or who have).
" The question of which pill to take illustrates the personal aspect of the decision to study philosophy. Do you live on in ignorance (and potentially bliss) or do you lead what Aristotle called 'the examined life'... "
Sometimes I wish I chose the blue pill. It'd probably be easier for me to have fun. I can be a bit overly serious, or intense at times, which is something I'm trying to avoid being. But for serious, the rabbit hole is deep, & Wonderland is fucked up!
I tolerate a lot of kinds of music. I prefer Classic Rock (Doors, Beatles, The Who, Led Zepplin, Pink Floyd, etc.), "Alternative" (for lack of a better word? - Sublime, AudioSlave, 311, System of a Down, Tool, Disturbed, etc.), & sometimes some Country (Charlie Daniels, Tim McGraw, Lonestar, Brooks & Dunn, Brad Paisley, etc.)
I don't care as much about music as whatever I believe is more important to my life. I like it, but could live without it too, almost. Whatever.
I love that music can be used as a powerful tool to effect humanity, but like with most things, it can be used for "good" or "evil" depending on the vibrational frequency of the "vibe" that is put out. Anger is of a higher frequency than sadness & loss of hope, & so to those living in "darkness", it is actually uplifting. But why not go higher up the spectrum? Go here & scroll down to "Plants and the sound of music" to see how plants perceive this truth. A lot of research has been done on the effects of music. Look into it. Use it as a tool for changing the world.

Though I like lots of movies, those with a message relating to the betterment of humanity in some way I like the most. And those that scare the shit out of me. (not horror movies - they are lame!) Truth is stranger than fiction!
LOADS & LOADS OF MOVIES! Good Propaganda from Google Video, Torrent Network, & More....
(+ tips for downloading, converting & viewing videos from the internet...
This is still a work in progress... I'm lazy.)
Television.... um.... oh, wait, you mean the mind-control box? The boob tube? The Propaganda transmission device?
Whatever. I think T.V. is awesome.
Its the "programming" that'll kill ya'. Most of it caters to the lowest common denominator in our society.... teenage boys. & the mainstream media has (mostly) sold their souls to the devil.
I can hardly bear to watch more than a few minutes of the news at a time. I still want to know whats going on, just cant stand the constant fear-mongering & other bullshit.
Thats why I so love The Daily Show with Jon Stewart & The Colbert Report . Those guys tell it like it is, & make it almost funny. Its still not, really, but at least they try to make it bearable.
Family Guy , Futurama, Robot Chicken, It Takes a Thief (Discovery), Random1
(A&E), X-files, Star Trek TNG, Love the History channel, Discovery channel, & A&E - not all of their "programing", but much. don't really care much for most other television.
Don't have cable anymore now, so I watch almost nothing. I miss Steven Colbert :-( & that Jon whats his face, too, I suppose.
Its been a while since I read a whole book. I've been doing most of my reading on this damned computer screen for a while (for breadth -vs- depth). Some of my favorite books are: CWG ( Conversations With God - by Neale Donald Walsh ) - READ IT!, The Celestine Prophecy (& sequels, by James Redfield ), The Way of the Peaceful Warrior (& other books by Dan Millman), Path Notes of an American Ninja Master (& Shadow Strategies " " " " ", by Glenn Morris , who just passed on into "the Void" 4-1-06 - some April fools day gag!). I read & liked "The 48 Laws of Power" - very Machevelian , but it made me sad. Why do some people only respond to fear? Why can't we all just get along? - Act from love, & without fear?
The Tao Te Ching , The Bible (I read more ABOUT it than I read it though), Jonathan Livingston Seagull (short easy read of "Jesus" as a bird), Illusions, also by Richard Bach . The Bagavad Gita , Journey & Destiny of Souls , Books on NLP & Hypnosis, The Tao of Jeet Kune Do by Bruce Lee , The Art of War (Sun Tzu, not Clausewitz or Machiavelli)
Anything that I can learn from & utilize in some way in my search for the ever illusive "truth" I claim to hold so dear. I rarely ever read for entertainment purposes alone. Too much to learn.
I don't know if I would call people "heroes," but there are people (past & present) who I may respect &/or try to learn from & "model" myself after to some extent.
Leaders with some degree of integrity. Forward thinking progressive people who take some sort of action to better the world, nation, community in a way that doesn't impose on people's individual "rights". People like John & Robert Kennedy (Assassinated), Martin Luther King Jr. (Assassinated), Ghandi (Assassinated), Bruce Lee (Assassinated? Dim mak?), Ron Paul (perhaps about to be assassinated :-( - also I like charismatic Jim Morrison of The Doors- His ability to "influence" large crowds- the "mob-rule" was, shall we say..... interesting. Good poetry /music too.
I didn't have a clue who Keith Olbermann was before this bit on the "Military Commissions Act," but it seems he was one of the only people really talking about it.... & on mainstream news T.V.!!! I'm shocked!
Where are all the REAL leaders (with National or International impact) today? Who's not afraid to die for what is "right"? (its all relative) Who's got integrity these days? Who's devoid of selfishness & greed?
If you've got nothing in your life worth dying for, you've got nothing worth living for (& I've got the " Christ complex " & a death wish, apparently... among other mental issues...).

Ma'at: Deity associated with justice and truth. At the final judgment of souls Ma'at helped to determine the ultimate fate of the deceased. Ma'at had a role in the judgement of the dead. In "The Hall of Ma'at" the heart of the deceased was weighed against Ma'at's "feather of truth." If the heart was free of guilt and sin, it would be lighter and the soul would get to pass on to Osiris. But if the heart was heavy with sin, it is thrown to Ammut, who gobbles it up, denying the spirit an afterlife and causing it to cease to exist. Ma'at's husband is Thoth the divine record-keeper.
I think we should all just lighten up. In every sense of the word lighten. Who needs a heavy heart?
The students aim in ancient Kemet (Egypt) was for a person to become "One with God." The path to the development of god-like qualities was through the development of virtues. These virtues were sought by the Kemites (Egyptians) to become one with Ma'at (the cosmic order).
