Clip: Existence

It's always worth going back to the basic fundamental topic of all life and having a good old think about it - existence.

Because really, whether people realise it or not, their core beliefs about what "existence" is, and what it's for, and why it's there, really comes out in their life, be it consciously or subconsciously. Except most people gave up thinking about it due to the complexity of it. But it's worth digging for truths!



What are your theories?

Thought of the day #2: Perception of people

Think about this: How you "know" yourself is how you understand others.

Remember that for next time you interpret someone else's intentions/actions or next time you make a judgement about someone. Because what you see in people is merely a mirror of yourself. Everything you see or know about people and their ways can only be so by knowing it in yourself first, be it a past self, current self or imagined self.

It's important to realise because it basically defines all of your interactions.

Consider this: If you love yourself you will see only love. If you don't like yourself then you won't like others. If you act with integrity then you will see the positive intent in others. If you don't trust yourself then you wont trust others. If you are connected to yourself then you will easily connect with others, etc etc.

The way you interpret people is merely a reflection of your own ways. And the way you feel about people is a reflection of the way you feel about yourself. And the way you judge others is a reflection of the way you judge yourself.
This is the plain and simple truth.

How do you perceive people in general? Assess that, accept what you learn, then make the change.

Consciousness is a mirror. Do you like what you see in the mirror? If not, change the way you habitually think, and the way you feel about yourself, towards the POSITIVE, and towards love-based perceptions (not fear-based), and watch a whole new world of beauty open up, simply because of the way you inadvertently perceive it. Everybody deserves to.

In actuality, most people DO have a strong sense of self, and a sense of understanding of others, probably more than we realise. We actually do know ourselves and others more than we think. It's worth giving credit where credit is due. We go alright! However, there are times when you will misinterpret people due to ignorance of that quality or value that the person might hold. It's important to accept this and therefore be open to learning about the perspectives of others. Two people can have a seemingly flowing conversation and not actually be on the same page, or actually be talking about the same thing. Are you completely ignorant to some of the positive values and thoughts people display? The thing is, you can never know, unless you do. So open yourself up to the new perspectives of others or forever stagnate in a pool of your own thinking habits and perceptions!

So if you want to be around positive people and vibes, then what you have to do is change yourself towards the positive. Everybody in the world has both positive and negative aspects to them, it just depends on what you focus on the most. So if you change yourself, then you change your reality. You will subconsciously give your attention to the aspects in people that are most like yourself. So observe it. Learn it. Accept it. Change it. Be the person you want to know.

The old quote is true - "If you don't go within, you go without"

Thought of the day #1: Change

Change is in the air...
You can literally feel it...
Everybody feels like they're realising it...
Our lives are reaching a point of assessment and choice...
What matters? Prioritize...
What direction to go in?...
The answers will only come if you ask yourself the questions...

Listen to yourself, but know that there's many levels to your being, so the best option is to listen to your soul... You can trust your soul's agenda...

The only thing that wont change in life is that everything in life is always changing... We either embrace it or get left behind...
Choices are presenting themselves...
We now choose which realities to enter, either unconsciously or intentionally...

Evolution of the way we think and perceive as a collective is in process... As we move closer to 2012, energies will only intensify... They will either be positive or negative for ya depending on what you focus on the most...

The energies around us are a reflection of our reality... Our reality is only a reflection of our beliefs... Our beliefs are only a reflection of our thoughts... Choose your thoughts wisely...

Choose your thoughts>beliefs>reality>energy with conscious vision, and join in on the changey fun!

Clip: We Are Conscious co-creators

Want to know the truth about reality? The truth is that we create the truths of our reality.
We literally think things into existence during the process of perceiving.
This is because our world is a hologram (made of dense frequencies and vibrations (Yep, including the hardest of objects)) which is shaped and created by humanity's collective thoughts and beliefs.

Most people seem to view everybody as a separate entity, but we all have a consciousness that is connected to the same energy life forces. Your thoughts and beliefs, and my thoughts and beliefs, contribute to the overall body of humanity, i.e. the collective conscious.

It's the collective conscious that shapes the vibe of the world. So you've got to ask yourself: Is my mind creating positive or negative frequencies for the world? How can i intentionally and consciously create thoughts that are benevolent towards the evolution of the human soul and towards the peace, love and harmony of our world? Everybody is a contributor.

Don't think for a second that a single one person can't make difference in the world, because if our own consciousnesses comprise the collective conscious, and the collective conscious shapes the overall vibe of our world, then everybody's mind is a contributor to the world's "shape" (be it for good or for bad). It's time to take responsibility for the awful shape that the world is in by acknowledging that every circumstance in the world (be it good or bad) was created from thought (Usually not intentionally created obviously, but still created nonetheless). Our collective consciousness created it. Which may be hard to swallow at first, but it's true. Knowing this also means: YOU have the power, and I have the power, for change. It all starts from within our own minds.

It's this information that needs to be absorbed and understood by all human life. Because as our minds and souls evolve, and the rate of thought-created manifestations increases, we are going to have to learn together how to manage creating the world for the better. And we can't do that without information/ideas about our reality.

Perhaps this vid will enlighten some on the topic:

Unplug the Signal: The Truth Will Not Be Televised

Do you watch a lot of TV?
Have you ever thought 'Wow, TV could be a LOT better if they tried'?
Have you ever absent-mindedly sat down in front of a TV and stayed put for longer periods of time, without talking, doing, or thinking anything?
I think we ALL have at least once in our lives (if not hundreds or thousands of times).
This can be regarded as a hypnotic state.
Have you thought about how that affects your unconscious mind?
If not, then for your own greater good, read on...



A flow of information is constantly streaming from the television set; a bombardment of words and pictures. The speed at which this information is communicated makes it easy for the signal to take control, switching the viewer's brain to stand-by as information is absorbed without analysis or question. Today the television's constant signal shapes the conclusions of the masses and produces the collective norm. The signal prescribes what is news and what is truth through the words of so-called experts and authorities, gelding the consciousness and independent thoughts of those subjected to it. Through television, the masses can be made to accept the most monstrous distortions of reality. The signal is a chill wind of continuous oppression over the minds of the masses. It controls the management of society and culture, creating uniformity across all subjects.

Book recommendation: A New Earth - by Eckhart Tolle

This is a book i finished reading about a month ago. It really got through to me and for a few weeks afterwards, i couldn't get its' concepts out of mind. Everything rang so true. There were plenty of moments during reading the book where a light-bulb would flash and i would go "A-ha!".

It is a book that is hard to describe to people. And it is the kind of book that can only be read when ready. I imagine if one was to read it too soon, then it wouldn't get through to the reader (I.e. If i read this when i was in high school i probably would have laughed at it). But i suppose the best way to describe the book is as an "awakening" book. It advocates present moment awareness and the dismantling of the ego as the path towards awakened living. Some of the things in the book i don't agree with, but for the most part it hits the nail on the head. But it's really something that one must judge for him/herself.

Yes, it was promoted on Oprah, but don't let that deter you.

People that are already familiar with eastern spiritual philosophies such as buddhism may not get much out of this book, as it is mostly a rehash of those concepts. But it is just communicated in a more "western" way.

I'm not usually a huge fan of rap, but this is one definite exception.

Juice Media's Rap News (an Aussie independent media source co-created by Jordan Ninni and Melbourne-based rapper Hugo Farrant) takes a broad "bigger picture" view of the major issues of the world, turns it into a clever rhyme, applies a head-nodding beat, laces it with comedy, and provides a thought-provoking medium of political awareness.

It's truly refreshing to have a conscious rapper rising into the music scene, and i hope they make an impact. The thought and creativity that has gone into these is excellent, and i really believe in what they're doing.

Article: Mystery as century-old Swiss watch discovered in ancient tomb sealed for 400 years

I just love the mysterious facets of the world that nobody can explain. And this is one of them.

A 100 year-old watch/ring in a 400 year-old tomb, ay? Hmmm...



Archaeologists are stumped after finding a 100-year-old Swiss watch in an ancient tomb that was sealed more than 400 years ago.

They believed they were the first to visit the Ming dynasty grave in Shangsi, southern China, since its occupant's funeral.

But inside they uncovered a miniature watch in the shape of a ring marked 'Swiss' that is thought to be just a century old.

Article: Ancient civilization discovered in Amazon

How cool is this!?

It's always cool to hear about new discoveries around the globe. It's pleasing that they still happen, after all these years of humanity. Just when you think that our technological, consumerist-capitalist-based world has nothing new left to discover, things like these come up. To think that there are things in our world that are still unseen, untouched, or even not yet created, is super-dooper exciting (And when you think about it, an obvious matter of fact)!



A fascinating find has come from the tragic loss of Brazilian rainforest, making some lemonade out of that lemon. Of course, what this discovery of a long lost Amazonian civilization means is that there have been other times when the forest was likewise not there, giving us hope that currently devastated areas can be regrown as well.

What this find also means is that those intrepid explorers of earlier times, such as Colonel P.H. Fawcett and many others, were correct in believing the natives, whose stories beginning centuries ago described not just one but many civilizations or cities lost in the massive rainforest as well as elsewhere in remote, overgrown parts of South America.

Clip: Omar Rodriguez interview

So after a bit of an unintentional "christmas" break, it now feels like a good time to kick things off again.

To kick off the new year, i'm excited to show this 2-part interview with Omar Rodriguez. He has got to be one of the most interesting and authentic musicians i've ever seen be interviewed, and this is one of the best interviews i've seen with him. It's refreshing to hear some questions based around the big and interesting stuff, rather than the mundane promotional stuff.

I seem to have this fascination with him and what he has to say, and i think it's because: a. I love the music he makes and admire what the mars volta have done, b. He's a successful and hard-working musician who is making a living doing what he loves (something i want to do), c. Most of his beliefs really resonate with me, d. He shares his inner-most perspectives without hesitation or fear, e. Inspiring thoughts are provoked when i tune into his wavelength.
This all gets rolled up into this ball of interesting for me.

Anyway, in this interview, he talks about: What he likes about music, his public image/perception/label, his spiritual beliefs, his life purpose, god, the goal of his music, the significance/insignificance of the opinion of the fans, the live performances, his greatest learning tool, the recording technique, his "dance moves", his part in the creative process of volta, future creativity, traveling, etc.

Petition: Save Australian Internet

Hey,
It has recently come to my attention that Senator Conroy has plans to install an Internet censorship scheme while everybody is focused on Christmas.

The internet is the final medium of media in which humanity has freedom of speech. This is a threat to government's control. Australia is getting prepared to commence censorship - which means our internet will become controlled - so we must voice our disapproval!

So today i found a site recommended by a friend on facebook(thank you, freedom of speech!), that was holding a petition against it (they gathered 120,000 signatures), and the site had the capabilities to forward our emails to the senator.
So i wrote one.

If you would like to do the same, then visit this site:



If you would like an example of what to write, here's the email that i sent. Feel free to discuss it. But remember to use your own words when you send an email of your own. And feel free to bring up completely different points in your own email. The idea is to flood them with so many emails that we can't be ignored.

Dear Senator,

It has come to my attention recently of the plans to censor Australian internet. I would like to voice my disapproval of the notion.

The internet is the final medium of media of which our nation has freedom of speech. TV Media is run by a select few in control, and general population is not involved in the controlling process of it. Commercial Radio is also this way. The internet is the final media of which everybody is equal, and any human can freely express themselves. Although some things on the internet can truly be labeled negatively, the censorship plans will choke our freedom of speech, and our freedom in general.

The censorship plans are redundant, since the negative internet content is normally shared via email or file-sharing networks - not through web traffic. AND - Any negative stuff that IS present in web-traffic, can be thwarted by censorship software that can be purchased by any parent around the globe. Not only would Government-controlled internet censorship be inefficient and unnecessary, it would also be a violation to human rights.

Freedom of speech is necessary for humanity for the evolution of our collective consciousness. I hope you are intelligent enough to understand this. To be without honest expression and without the ability to connect with others, we are divided, unhappy and generally disconnected. This means humans are not trading thoughts, ideas, beliefs, perspectives, etc etc, as they should be able to. To censor the internet, would be to work against humanity's evolution. This means internet censorship comes across as a malevolent plan. Is the government working in favour or against the Australian public?

GetUp! has already gathered over 120,000 petition signatures in opposition to mandatory internet censorship scheme. This is proof that it is not in the best interests of the people.

What i ask is that you reconsider your position on the internet censorship scheme, and instead work towards schemes that the Australian public are actually in favour for.

Thank you for your time,
Nic.

Clip: We Will Be Victorious

If you can manage to put aside the fact that this clip is borderline righteous (silly new muse and their ego), and just look it at from a perspective of truth, then you'll find it to be extremely powerful.

Hopefully this can contribute to awareness of the fact that governments have a greedy agenda that doesn't go in favour of humanity. The more people that awaken to this fact, the less power the government has. If we can unite together as humans, and recognize the fact that each of us is a cell that is apart of the larger body (humanity), then our collective consciousness will really start to evolve.



(Don't be surprised if the clip above doesn't load. Apparently youtube keeps censoring/deleting it. This particular version has managed to last 2 months. If it's been deleted by the time you want to watch it, just search for a 6:45 long clip called "we will be victorious".

Article: Stealth Treaty Seeks Strict Controls Over Internet

As seems to be a recurring theme in recent times, our freedom is under threat. This time in the cyber world.

The internet is probably the one system that can't be controlled like the governments would want. They find too many thorns in their plans because of the pesky internet. It is an excellent medium for freedom of speech, information spreading, creative sharing, connection to others, accelerated learning, and much much more.

So of course, that's what's being attacked. Except that it's all behind the scenes, where it CAN be controlled.

A very eye opening article ahead... filled with petitions and such...



A sweeping international treaty to regulate how knowledge and creativity may flow on the Internet is now being negotiated. Haven’t heard of it? Funny thing, that’s exactly what the backers of the treaty want. The film, music, publishing and information industries don’t want a public debate about the issues or an open debate in Congress. So they have been working hand-in-glove with the U.S. Trade Representative to move U.S. policymaking offshore and throw a dark cloak of secrecy around everything. The next stop: draconian penalties for anyone who is accused of violating copyright law.

Article: Australian Fluoride Plant Construction Begins

Construction work on Mount Gambier’s fluoridation plant at the Blue Lake pumping station began on Monday.

The soil is currently being excavated in preparation for the construction of a 60 square metre stone building above the pumping station which will house the plant.

Major works are scheduled to start in late December, with completion to take about five months.

SA Water chief operating officer John Ringham said residents would start receiving fluoridated water by the middle of next year.


- READ MORE

Oh, goodo! Poisonous waters - yay!

I liked the part where it said “It’s the most effective way to allow everyone access to fluoride to help protect their teeth.”
That simply isn't true.
Fluoride is a toxic substance and shouldn't be consumed by humans.
I mean, Fluoride is rat poison!!

The idea that fluoride protects teeth is a complete myth, so injecting into our waters is extremely unnecessary. Most of Europe don't have fluoride and their teeth are on par with countries that do use fluoride. In fact, fluoride has a negative affect on the teeth, body AND mind.

"Fluoride has been tested on humans for the purpose of treating osteoporosis. The theory was that fluoride would strengthen bones. What the researchers found was that it did increase bone mass; however, the bone was much more brittle -- leading to a dramatic increase in hip fracture.

Research has shown in numerous studies that fluoride is a mutagen (genetic damage), a carcinogen (cancer causing), and cancer promoting in laboratory cell studies, animals, and humans. In 1990 the Congress-ordered National Toxicological Program (NTP) found bone cancers in male rats. The test animals, in the words of the board certified pathologists, "were awash with disease." The high dose animals had kidney failure and cancers of their lips, cheeks, throats, livers, and bones. The highest rates of cancer were found in the highest dose animals. The lucky rats and mice that drank the distilled fluoride free water had no significant disease.

Cavity-prone rats were given fluoride in two ways. One group got fluoride in the mouth from a time release tablet bonded to the outer surface of the tooth. The other group got the same amount administered in a slow pump under the skin. The oral dose of fluoride produced some reduction in decay over controls, but the systemic exposure did not reduce tooth decay at all. However, the poisonous nature of fluoride does not change when ingested. Animals fed sugar-water and fluoride fare no better in terms of tooth decay than animals fed sugar-water alone. Human tooth decay is linked to diet, sugar intake, tooth brushing technique, hours of sunlight, parental education, and family income. These variables must be considered in order to produce accurate results."

So if fluoride is a poison that can cause cancers in rats and cause human bones and teeth to become more brittle, and brains to become dumber, then why put it in our waters?
Hmmm......
It's up to you to decide whether or not you think the people behind pushing fluoride-injected-water are AWARE of the negative affects of it.
Were the big wigs in control of the Swine Flu Vax AWARE of the negative effects of the vax? Same thing.

"We've got to ride this global warming issue. Even if the theory of global warming is wrong, we will be doing the right thing in terms of economic and environmental policy." - Timothy Wirth, President of the UN Foundation

"No matter if the science of global warming is all phony... climate change provides the greatest opportunity to bring about justice and equality in the world." - Christine Stewart, fmr Canadian Minister of the Environment

"It doesn't matter what is true, it only matters what people believe is true." - Paul Watson, co-founder of Greenpeace

"We need to get some broad based support, to capture the public's imagination... So we have to offer up scary scenarios, make simplified, dramatic statements and make little mention of any doubts... Each of us has to decide what the right balance is between being effective and being honest." - Stephen Schneider, Stanford Professor of Climatology, lead author of many IPCC reports

If you imagine human history in the form of a linear timeline, then our current times would show that right now we are experiencing an evolution in human consciousness. The key to this lies in unity, and lies in the realisation that we are all connected to the same universal energy. This clip puts some of that into perspective.

This clip may come across as "lame" to the average cynic. And hey, maybe it is? But the truth it speaks is far beyond any sort of negative interpretation.
