Visualisation and Bruce Lee
Bruce Lee wrote this letter to himself in 1969...
"I, Bruce Lee, will be the first highest paid Oriental super star in the United States. In return I will give the most exciting performances and render the best of quality in the capacity of an actor. Starting 1970 I will achieve world fame and from then onward till the end of 1980 I will have in my possession $10,000,000. I will live the way I please and achieve inner harmony and happiness.
Bruce Lee
1969"
He then went on and achieved exactly what he intended.
You decide why... :)

The Icky Ego
And The breath of Life
The 'ego' is to the mind, what 'snot' is to the body.
And 'breathing' is to the body, what 'state of being' is to living happily.
Nobody likes a snotty nose, but sometimes snot is a necessary byproduct of the process of protecting yourself.
The less snot up your nose, the easier it is to breath, and the more enjoyable your breathing experience.
Sometimes you don't realise how snotty your nose is until it's really hard to breath. So sometimes it's necessary to wake up during the middle of the night and blow your nose.
Snot builds up slowly over time, so sometimes it's easy to forget it's there, and get comfortable with breathing with a snotty nose. Some people are fine with breathing through a snotty nose. But upon finally clearing that snot, you realise how much better breathing can really be (aswell as how much more others enjoy breathing in sync with your own breathing).
But you can't blow your nose until you go and get a tissue. Sometimes you have to create the tissue yourself, sometimes others can build it for you. But essentially it comes down to the intention of your own choice, to seek the tissue and take action.
Sometimes it's easy to get annoyed at somebody else for trying to breath through their own snotty nose, and point fingers at them, complain, gossip, and downright blame them for disturbing your own experience. However, doing that only creates more snot as you become involved with snotty-nosed interaction. And remember: we can only despise in other people what we don't like about ourselves.
If we want to breath peacefully and joyfully, then we have to clear our snot. If we don't clear out our snot, then making our breath filter through the snot all the time can disturb our own experience, and sometimes others' experience too! To clear it out we simply have to become aware of it.
As soon as you identify yourself as a snotty-nosed person, and with the thoughts, emotions, perceptions and actions that stem from your snotty nose experience, with the power of your belief, are you more or less likely to remain snotty? Well, the answer is definitely not less.
Don't identify with anything within our snot-based world. Just become aware of it, and see it for what it is - just snot - and it will fade away.
Today marks the day when i start the construction of building a tissue, so i can blow my own nose. This will be a journey that may take a while. But once I've achieved that, i can start work towards the construction of building a big collective tissue for society to use, because right now we live in a big snotty world. I may not be able to cure the sickness, but the less snot that the world has, the better the state of living in it will be for myself AND others.
Snot does have its use though. Without snot, then it would mean that we would not be protecting ourselves. However, we wouldn't need to protect ourselves if we weren't sick.
But what's making us sick? Why is everyone all snotty? What is the cause of this dysfunction? That's the million dollar question.
We have to treat the sickness in order to fix the root of the problem and transform, and never have a snotty nose again. But first we have to understand the truth, and then accept it, in order to know how to treat it.
So don't worry if your nose is currently snotty. Don't identify with it. Just become aware of it. We have to get sick before we can evolve from it.

Terence McKenna: You Are an Explorer, and You Represent our Species
While we're on the theme of psychedelics today, i figure it's a good time to post this fantastic little clip of Terence McKenna magic.
In this 2 minutes of inspiration, Terence talks about the role of psychedelics, our role as humans, what to do, what not to do, and sums it up nicely at the end with a message of what it's all about.
These are notions i absolutely absorbed earlier this year, and should be absorbed by all to help towards creating our new paradigm.

Article: Psychic Computer Shows Your Thoughts on Screen
Scientists have discovered how to “read” minds by scanning brain activity and reproducing images of what people are seeing — or even remembering.
Researchers have been able to convert into crude video footage the brain activity stimulated by what a person is watching or recalling.
The breakthrough raises the prospect of significant benefits, such as allowing people who are unable to move or speak to communicate via visualisation of their thoughts; recording people’s dreams; or allowing police to identify criminals by recalling the memories of a witness.
However, it could also herald a new Big Brother era, similar to that envisaged in the Hollywood film Minority Report, in which an individual’s private thoughts can be readily accessed by the authorities.

If this source is legit, then this discovery is absolutely amazing.
The possibilities that may or may not occur from this discovery are endless. Some could be bad. Some could be great.
A few things i read worried me:
In Britain, fMRI scanning technology has been sold to multinational companies, such as Unilever and McDonald’s, enabling them to see how we subconsciously react to brands.
and
In America, security agencies are researching the use of brain scanners for interrogating prisoners, and Lockheed Martin, the US defence contractor, is reported to have studied the possibility of scanning brains at a distance.
It's this kind of discovery that could really be used for bad agenda. I don't want to live in a world where elite organizations are scanning my brain.
A few things i read excited me:
The breakthrough raises the prospect of significant benefits, such as allowing people who are unable to move or speak to communicate via visualisation of their thoughts; recording people’s dreams; or allowing police to identify criminals by recalling the memories of a witness.
and
Researchers have also used scanning technology to measure academic ability, detect early signs of Alzheimer’s and other degenerative conditions, and even predict the decision a person is about to make before they are conscious of making it.
Imagine being able to record our dreams! THE THINGS WE WOULD LEARN! This is a dream in itself.
Also, Delving in depth into the intricacies, and finding out the why's and how's of this discovery could mean great things for humanity. It could really lead to more clues and answers about reality and consciousness. This could be another door that we've opened that will contribute to our evolution.
However, as the article says: “It’s the age-old problem: knowledge is power and it can be used for both good and evil.”
We've just got to be aware.
Ok, so - telepathy chips, mind reading computers, what's next? Time travel??

Gregg Braden - The Matrix of Life
Scientist Gregg Braden talks about the conscious mind that underlies our existence, and how we can influence it.
If everybody explored and educated themselves with this information, the world would be a better place...

Terence Mckenna - Reclaim Your Mind
More Terence!
A short clip where McKenna talks about the ins and outs of creating culture rather than consuming it.
(the music is a bit distracting, but what can ya do)
