Who Wants To Burn Books?
It's been too long! Way too long indeed.
Been working on my album, spent too much time on video games, and wasted my time working. Sometimes I'm not too happy about my situation; it's one of those moments in which you don't realize what you've got. Because if you did, you wouldn't complain about anything. The very first prerequisite of happiness is gratefulness. Can't be happy if you ain't grateful!
Trying to make some more dough before my girl visits me, cause she's coming soon! I can almost smell her hair. Not too fortunate though, because I haven't gotten much opportunity lately. The working man really is a sucker. Give me the life of a hustler, but once you're loading up you'll soon realize you'd rather want things to get back to normal. Gotta find a way in between, hustle the right way; don't do anything you'll regret later on.
This society doesn't suit me, so Steven what suits you then? Is it even possible to create a society that is based on individual needs? Not a chance. But what are individual needs, because it implies that everyone wants something different, which is not really the case is it? When I tell about the greater questions in life, everyone slightly conscious knows what I'm talking about; the things that really matter. What are those things? The things that everybody wants.
Individuality is only possible in a society where people are thoroughly unhappy. Individuality to me, seems like a means to cover up for the unhappy part within yourself. Individuality is an attempt to define oneself, because there is a big desire to find something worth living for. Apparently this society isn't giving us a reason to live for, because we're all looking for those reasons ourselves. Is it possible that society can provide a feeling of meaningful existence? I believe so, but definitely not the 21st century capitalism theatre.
But I guess that's just telling the obvious; I suppose most people figured that out by now. At the very least they feel something's wrong, at the best they feel they should do something about it. Welcome you, join the club of the Revolutionary Minds.
I find myself in different moods. Right now, I'm in a mood in which I can reflect on all my feelings that I experienced lately. Sometimes I would get frustrated by this society, and especially in the direction in which we're going. I don't have to tell you that it's not a good thing that we have a zionist agent like Wilders trying to badmouth Islam, and even trying to forbid the Holy Scripture itself! I think how can we solve this, do we just need to hit that fucker up? Put a bullet between his eyes? But hate doesn't solve hate. The problem isn't him; the problem is ignorant people.
He is just a man. Hitler was also just a man. Why did Hitler get so powerful? Because the people supported him. People may feel powerless, but that's only because you give your power to someone else to represent you, who turns out to be a total fake. Who should we vote for? Who's gonna give us what we want? These unfulfilled desires are the perfect breeding place for frustration, so that with the right manipulation techniques, any lunatic can play in on the human psyche, and get the mob to support things that in fact are not in their favor, or bear any actual connection to them.
Could Hitler have been powerful without the support of the people? Not a chance; he would've been just another crazy and lost soul, which he was. The same counts for Wilders. He would not have been able to govern the country if 1.5 million people did not vote for him. We're getting closer to the core of the problem now, which seems to be democracy. But is democracy really a problem? Didn't it work fine for the Atheneans, back when they 'invented' it? I wouldn't be able to say, because I wasn't there, but I do know that all the great empires in the world were not democratic. And if you think to yourself now: "But what about America?" Well, go educate yourself homeboy.
Democracy may be a suitable form of government on a small scale, in which the government is comprehensible to its citizens, but not on a scale as the world is today. Not only is democracy a highly bureaucratic, and therefore inefficient form of government, but it's not even actual democracy! Democracy and capitalism are not synonimous. I heard there was some philosopher who claimed that capitalism and democracy would be the highest tiers of human society, but that sounds like brainwashing bollocks to me. I take a look at the world and what do I see? Barbarism; primitive inventions, unstable solutions, no efficiency, and no love; a literally poisonous place to live in.
How primitive is a society that cannot even secure its own existence, by sucking the planet dry of resources? Look at how we treat animals, how primitive is that? Actually, I bet our ancestors, who supposedly lived in caves, had a more sincere connection to animals than we do. We go to a supermarket and buy a piece of meat, having no idea to which animal it belonged to. "It says chicken on the etiquette!" That's just great. This fascist party (they actually call themselves party for freedom, what freedom? Not the freedom to follow islam I hope?!) actually came up with this stupid idea to have animal cops. It's just a way to take the voters away from the real animal loving party, because if I go to one of them many mass slaughter houses, and call the cops saying "Hey! They're killing pigs by the thousands here!" all I'll hear is a chuckle on the other end.
The party for freedom does not represent actual freedom. On the contrary; it actually limits the basic liberties that the founding fathers of this nation wrote down in the constitution. If you would take a look at all the laws, you'll see that the most important ones, the constitution, is actually quite short. All who seek to define those laws in detail, did not get the message. The law is clear as it is, and I support our constitution. I do not support our to be government. Those are greedy pigs, interested in nothing more than self perpetuation. Which government would cut funds on art, or education? Those are the most important parts of any society! Education is to taste knowledge, art is to express the very thing that makes us human.
There was a guy who wanted to burn books, and do away with art. His name was Hitler. I find myself in a similar situation as in 1933. How will I solve this problem? Is it Wilders? Is it the ignorant people? Is it democracy? Maybe all those are just symptoms of something bigger, something underneath. Honestly, I think we got way too far into this rabbithole to ever be able to find our way back and come out. Better light a bar of dynamite and stick it in, flip the earth upside down, start again from scratch. Fresh soil, sounds good.
All I have left to say is that I wanted to write about something different, but I guess that something just inspired me to write this, which is just as good, if not better. Build upon the bricks that were given to you, or something like that. In any case, I better catch some sleep, cause I need to get up in less than 4 hours. So long!

Money Over Bullshit
One day I want to be rich, better sooner than later. People always tell you the same thing; money doesn't make you happy. That may well be, but poverty definitely doesn't make you happy! I don't want to live the life of a monk, else it would be true that you don't need money for happiness. In order to be happy you must have a certain kind of freedom. Freedom as in, having your own place to stay and your own food to eat. These are the basic needs that you should be able to provide to yourself.
After that the biggest desire is sexuality, which doesn't necessarily mean a steady relationship, but just to have sex basically. On a side note, if you look at this analysis, you'll begin to see a pattern in the same order of our chakra system. The bottom chakra is the very basic interest of life, after that is sexuality. Of course as we climb higher and higher on our ladder of desires, assuming we don't get stuck somewhere along the way (see, how pornography leaves most people desperately on the second level of sex), we'll finally begin looking for true love, and ultimately bliss.
However, coming back to the issue of money, it is absolutely necessary to be able to take care of yourself, especially as a man. Because eventually, you'll want to take care of others too, especially your family. Money is important as long as you don't have it, that's why it's important to me. Quite a paradox, but most things in life are. It's like the first stage of a video game; you gotta beat the money level, only then it starts to get hard. Well I'm already having a hard time now, or at least, I have to work hard to earn my money.
Making money for most people is an easy and simple thing. It is the more higher purposes in life that they do not understand, which are in effect, a cause of their misery. With me it's the other way around; I'm starting to understand from a relative young age the important things in life, because I didn't have to concern myself with money since my parents were doing quite well for themselves. On one side that's terrific, on another side it left me with unlearned lessons that most people knew by the age of 16. I call it good karma.
But let's get back to money, because yesterday in the train I was thinking about this situation that happened when I was clubbing in Zagreb. I was out with my girlfriend's brother and a few of his friends. Also a guy nicknamed Badboy, who's a veteran in the art of pickup. So naturally we were all talking about women and how to seduce them, when I said: "You should just get rich, then they'll come running after you". Apparently this wasn't a very proper thing to say, because it would be without love or something like that.
But what is love? Does seducing a woman have anything to do with love? You're just tricking her mind, making her believe she likes you. And of course, most women will adamantly persist in saying they really do like those guys, but it's still not love. In fact, it's just chemicals released in the brain, something we refer to as infatuation. See the dictionary:

In fact, it's just chemicals released in the brain, something we refer to as infatuation. See the dictionary:
–verb (used with object)
1.
2.
to affect with folly; make foolish or fatuous.
Can't be much deeper than a shallow feeling, and that's exactly what it is. Pickup girls is a game of seduction, not of love. So with that in mind, what does it matter whether girls chase you for your game, or for your wallet? Both are superficial, and by extension, meaningless. Love is something to be cultivated after you attract a woman. Which also means, that also the so called gold diggers, might be attracted at first by the riches, but eventually really come to love their husband. Of course this all depends on both individuals, because cultivating love takes some serious self maintenance.
I would look at attraction like a sweet and juicy fruit. Once that fruit is gone, all that's left is the seed. This seed is the seed of love, and you have to make sure you plant it in a good enviroment. What is a good enviroment? An enviroment in which both people know themselves, because ignorant people always project their problems on one another; it's like planting the seed and then complaining why it isn't growing. It is impossible to have a loving relationship when you're both stuck on your own issues. Clearing those up, is like fertilizing the soil in which the seed must grow.
After that it's up to nature to do its job. You don't need to put any effort for the seed to grow, for it is the very essence of the seed to grow, as long as it has the space to grow. Much in the same way we are essentially love, as long as we give ourselves the space to be that love. This is how love is cultivated, and that is what it really is all about.
Game is for guys who don't have a lot of money, money is for guys who don't have game.
I have no game, and I have no money, but I have everything else. Though it will only be worth something once I have the money, so until then I'd say: Money over bullshit.

Ground Zero
It's been 9 years since the demolition of the Twin Towers. After 9/11 the skyline of Manhattan would never be the same again. The news is full of bullshit concerning 9/11: Some fascist Dutch politician who's going to talk at Ground Zero about how the Islam is a fascist movement that should be purged from our pure hearted heavenly society. Then we have another idiot who said he was going to burn the Quran just to get some attention, and of course a Mosque (which is not a Mosque but just a community center) which, according to the media, would be built on ground zero, which is simply not true.
Yesterday I read an article about that conspiracy theories are still alive since 9/11, no matter how hard the US government tries to prove the opposite. Actually, I can't believe that there's actually people out there who buy the official version of 9/11; the report is full of lies. No matter how sceptic you are, there are simple facts that are just not in accordance with the official version. From that point, I would say: Find one lie, and the whole report should be questioned thoroughly.
I tell this to people, but they just don't WANT to believe that the American government could be behind the attack on the WTC. They see I'll believe it when I see it, but it's the other way around. They don't want to believe it, so they don't see it. If conspiracy theories are still so alive, and actually are becoming more and more popular, don't you think it's at the very least worth investigating thoroughly? Where there's smoke there's fire.
I'm going into the exact details of 9/11, because you can find it on many websites and documentaries. Of course there's a lot of bullshit on the internet, but there's also people who do proper research, and take the responsibility to bring the truth to the people. To give you a start, I'll share a few of the sites that I visit:
-> www.vigilantcitizen.com
-> www.davidicke.com
-> www.infowars.com
-> www.prisonplanet.com
Documentaries you could look for:
-> Zeitgeist
-> Endgame - Blueprint for Global Enslavement
-> Loose Change
There's countless sources of information out there, you just gotta open your eyes, and be ready to let go of the beliefs that are not your own, but got put in your mind by the media who are not independent, but owned by the same people who profit from events like 9/11. Think about that.

Dumbing Down Society
When I thought television couldn't get worse, I was faced with the most dreadful program I have ever come across in my life. Fortunately I don't watch a lot of television, and if I turn it on I exclusively tune in to our state channels. But today it was on this state channel, a kind of talk show, that I got confronted with humanity's worst, if I can call it humanity at all. Rubbish like that should be forbidden, and the people who take part in those shows should be locked up and educated until they get rid of that retarded look on their faces. Their parents should be put to prison for failing miserably, and they themselves should be sterilized so they can't spoil the world with their offspring that is a blatant insult to the human race.
I just had to get that off my chest. You're welcome; it is my pleasure. However after the initial reaction of loathing, it is important to realize that it is no coincidence that these programs are polluting the minds of the viewers. Mind you the reason why these people got to be on the talkshow in the first place was because this show managed to get over 1 million viewers on the first airing. I couldn't believe what I heard. A million people watch this? Like, they don't feel in the least emberassed? As in, someone enters the room, and you're like "Oh...eh, I was just randomly browsing...yea...this is so stupid, let's change the channel".
No my friend, one million people watched this. The scene would've looked more like "Hey what's that you're watching? Oh cool!". This is part of the conspiracy of dumbing down the society. This is done on many different levels, but I would say most important influences would be food, education, and the media. Most, if not all, synthetic foods are bad for you, containing chemicals that attack braincells or the pineal gland, amongst other things. Then you have education, which is actually not education, but mental poison. And of course the media, which is the biggest poison of all.
For whoever is still wondering what this show was actually about: It's about 8 mentally incapable kids who go on a party rampage, intoxicating themselves and disgracing their sexuality. I still can't get my head around the fact that over a million people watch this. Over a million people also voted PVV (the fascist anti islam party); I see a relationship between these numbers. People are dumb and numb, utterly stupid and delerious. Of course there will be a one world government, people like those don't have the right to be free because they take no responsibility for their lives whatsoever. It is those who are intelligent who have the power to take the right to rule over others, and with justice; how can these pigs take care of themselves anyway?
Of course, there are two sides to the story. Because on the other hand it is a fact that all this brainwashing is created by those same people to make people dumb and obedient, so they can rule them. It is definitely not the people who are the cause of the TV shows, but more likely the other way around. With this in mind it becomes clear that it is not us who want to see these shows, but it is them who want us to see these shows, so that we are distracted from the things that really matter.
In the end it's all business and politics. Especially in the West these things incorporate each other quite conveniently. Conveniently from a corporate perspective, because there is no such thing as a strong government in the West; it's all financial power. It is not the people who are represented by our democratic institutions, but rather the corporate elite. In order to end corruption, we need to get rid of central banks, and if possible, get rid of money all together. Nothing in this world is made out of money; it's a question of resources, and how to allocate them in the most efficient way.
This is essentially the Venus Project. I would strongly recommend you to google it, if you want to share in a global vision that would elevate our society far above the stage where we are right now. Of course, in order to solve the problems and inevitable complications that are the offspring of our way of living, it is absolutely necessary to raise our consciousness to the point where we can start to understand the consequences of our actions, and not merely on an intellectual level. This is a process that has been going on for thousands of years. If you think that until 200 years ago, human history was just a random script, you are in a deep sleep my friend.
To conclude, I don't think politics is inherently a bad thing, but it is when it's combined with business. If we can get rid of business, then only politics is left. Politics in itself is the highest tier of human activity within a society; it is a pure hearted, selfless occupation that should be reserved for the wisest and most responsible. If you try to compare that definition to politics as we know it, then you'll begin to understand the evil that money brings forth.
It's all poison.

No my friend, one million people watched this. The scene would've looked more like "Hey what's that you're watching? Oh cool!". This is part of the conspiracy of dumbing down the society. This is done on many different levels, but I would say most important influences would be food, education, and the media. Most, if not all, synthetic foods are bad for you, containing chemicals that attack braincells or the pineal gland, amongst other things. Then you have education, which is actually not education, but mental poison. And of course the media, which is the biggest poison of all.
For whoever is still wondering what this show was actually about: It's about 8 mentally incapable kids who go on a party rampage, intoxicating themselves and disgracing their sexuality. I still can't get my head around the fact that over a million people watch this. Over a million people also voted PVV (the fascist anti islam party); I see a relationship between these numbers. People are dumb and numb, utterly stupid and delerious. Of course there will be a one world government, people like those don't have the right to be free because they take no responsibility for their lives whatsoever. It is those who are intelligent who have the power to take the right to rule over others, and with justice; how can these pigs take care of themselves anyway?
Of course, there are two sides to the story. Because on the other hand it is a fact that all this brainwashing is created by those same people to make people dumb and obedient, so they can rule them. It is definitely not the people who are the cause of the TV shows, but more likely the other way around. With this in mind it becomes clear that it is not us who want to see these shows, but it is them who want us to see these shows, so that we are distracted from the things that really matter.
In the end it's all business and politics. Especially in the West these things incorporate each other quite conveniently. Conveniently from a corporate perspective, because there is no such thing as a strong government in the West; it's all financial power. It is not the people who are represented by our democratic institutions, but rather the corporate elite. In order to end corruption, we need to get rid of central banks, and if possible, get rid of money all together. Nothing in this world is made out of money; it's a question of resources, and how to allocate them in the most efficient way.
This is essentially the Venus Project. I would strongly recommend you to google it, if you want to share in a global vision that would elevate our society far above the stage where we are right now. Of course, in order to solve the problems and inevitable complications that are the offspring of our way of living, it is absolutely necessary to raise our consciousness to the point where we can start to understand the consequences of our actions, and not merely on an intellectual level. This is a process that has been going on for thousands of years. If you think that until 200 years ago, human history was just a random script, you are in a deep sleep my friend.
To conclude, I don't think politics is inherently a bad thing, but it is when it's combined with business. If we can get rid of business, then only politics is left. Politics in itself is the highest tier of human activity within a society; it is a pure hearted, selfless occupation that should be reserved for the wisest and most responsible. If you try to compare that definition to politics as we know it, then you'll begin to understand the evil that money brings forth.
It's all poison.

Feminism
I'm not a big fan of -isms, but one of the worst isms out there has to be feminism. Women should be women, and not pretend to be men. This is also why I think the name feminism is ironically misplaced, like christianity of today has got nothing to do with the teachings of Jezus. Not that it did in the past; christianity is one of the main religions that was very soon to be corrupted by people who wanted to use it as a vessel to strengthen their power structure.
Why is it, that one of the biggest christian communities exist in North America, where racism is abundant, and people have little to no tolerance towards ideas and beliefs that are not in accordance with theirs? It is easy to bear love and compassion to those close to you, but even that is not real love and compassion, because it is conditional. The moment those persons close to you do something which is not in accordance with the picture you painted of them, the love and compassion is gone.
Jezus is not to be worshipped; he was just a vessel of the qualities he inbibed, which ought to be respected. It's not about the man, it's about his qualities. He who said to God as he got nailed to the cross and stabbed to death "Father forgive them, for they do not know what they're doing" was an example of love and compassion. That ideology was soon to be perverted. I mean, who started the crusades, and for what reason? It's all business and politics.
The one person who was actually living in accordance with the qualities of Christ, was blamed of horrible crimes, which are in fact committed by those who pretend to be living in accordance with the Bible. I'm talking of course, about Michael Jackson. He was our black Jezus, and it's guys like the pope who should be nailed to the cross, symbolically, else I wouldn't be very credible after what I just wrote.
But let's not get side tracked too much; this is about feminism. Feminism has got nothing to do with feminine qualities. It's simply women trying to be men, which is quite unattractive. Some girls say "I would rather be a guy, cause it's a man's world", but they just fail to see what makes women so beautiful. Cause the fact is, there would be no man's world without women. The real reason why it appears to be a man's world is because men have ego, much more than women at any rate, and women feel we should be kept in that harmless fantasy.
One of the Hindu deities, Shiva, a very powerful character, had a wife who was even more powerful than him. But she never told him, because she respected his ego. Men need ego in order to function; to live with values, to get things done. Of course ego can be as much a weakness as it can be strength. It is miserable men who's egos are a source of weakness without strength, macho men who's egos are a source of strength and weakness, and it's the wise men who's egos are a source of strength without weakness.
A few days ago I was listening to this audio book of a guy named Badboy, a pickup artist. Very interesting stuff, although I didn't agree with everything. For example, he said that men are the stronger sex, and therefore need to give women their sense of security. Now I understand why this appears to be the case. After all, our society does it's best to make women feel insecure, to put them in a position where nothing is ever right. They are almost forced into sexuality at young age, because of brainwashing in TV and the internet, and at the same time are constantly judged for what they do.
Rappers talk about 'ho's' and 'bitches' like they're just expendable assets. The pornography found on television, in music videos, on the internet, in magazines, all add to that belief. It's all bullshit. You wanna know what is one major cause of our sick society? It's the complete delerious idea of sexuality that we have nowadays. The complete absence of appreciation for women.
When you take that into account, it makes sense in a way that there's such a thing as feminism; women think "they don't like women, so let's just be men then". So I understand the struggle ladies, nothing but compassion for you. However, being independent is not the same as pretending to be a man, or being hard to get. Why do girls act hard to get? Because they don't want to be judged for being easy.
But shouldn't it be easy? We are fooling ourselves. It is easy. All it takes is consciousness. I remember I saw this movie sometime ago, Pride and Prejudice (the latest version or so), I loved it, and I could've fallen in love with that woman. She was so feminine, and at the same time so independent. Of course she was pretty, but it was her character that did it for me. Not hard to get, but standing for what she believes in, and most importantly, not let fear guide your actions.
You see, playing hard to get is just insecurity, it's fear for the judgment of others. That doesn't mean you should get it on with every guy who approaches you, but it does mean there's no need to give the guy you want a hard time. I was thinking today of the perfect romance. Imagine you go to the club, see this girl, and the moment your eyes make contact you know, you both know. You can see she's sensitive and aware, you walk up to her, and without saying a word, you kiss.
If I would rate intimacy in different stages, I would say that the highest levels of intimacy are the kind where speaking is unnecessary. How beautiful it would be to have this kind of intimacy on first eye contact, to have this open mind, clarity, sensitivity and awareness is in itself a reason to think you found the perfect partner, so why not just kiss right away? Afterwards you would take her home, make love, lay in each other's arms; all without saying a word.
I couldn't picture a more romantic night. So women: Don't be afraid to be a woman, be happy about it, you're deeply appreciated.

Brain Ninjas
The worst position you can be in: The Jealous Boyfriend.
You don't wanna be, you always said to yourself "anything but that". But let me tell you homie, cuz it's like smiling; it aint hard to smile when you're happy, but can you still do it when you're sad? Same goes for jealousy.
It is one of the worst feelings imaginable. I'm feeling like this right now, and the cause is irrelevant, because one could get jealous about anything as long as one is miserable. I'm sure many of you have felt this some time or another in your life, and it was never pretty. Jealousy easily degrades your state rapidly, making you feel from bad to worse.
So what to do in this situation? The initial urge is to let the feeling take you over, and do things that you regret not much later. If you can, abstain from this, and if you can't, try to keep the damage under control. You'd be surprised to know how easily you can fuck things up in a short amount of time. You feel the rage, coming up like the steam. You try to keep your mouth closed but then it'll just come out your eyes and ears; you can't just stop steam.
Yet, if you start swearing, you'll just turn up the heat, and the steam will get even worse. How to cool down? First off, don't surpress your feelings; they're there, be honest about it. Observe it, don't act on it, and if you can't keep it to yourself, then find a way to express it in a positive way. Like, write down how you feel, and make a joke about it. Laughter is the cure for anything.
Steven, why are you so upset about nothing? Everything is impermanent. Your life, your relationship, and your feelings towards that relationship. Who cares about something that is a fraction of your relationship, a fraction of your life? Besides, life is too short to be jealous. And that's it, there's never a reason to be jealous. You live your life, I live mine. We choose to share our lives with people we care about. It's not a right, but a privilege, so respect it as such.
You have your own terms, find someone who values the same things. Anything else is just bound to cause problems one way or another. Relationships aren't about love, but about living together in harmony. Anyone can love you, and you can love anyone.
So what now? Well, all that's left of my rage is a smoldering pile of ashes now, although I should be very careful not to throw wood on it now! Before you know it I'm enraged again. But it's ok; I'll see myself through it. These things aint worth ruining my mood.
And that's the lesson for today kids: Don't ever let jealousy get to you. And don't think that trying to make someone else jealous will make you any less jealous! You'll just be fooling yourself. Next to that, which muppet would want to make someone else jealous? That's like the pinnacle of insecurity; to see if people really do give a damn.
And honestly, I do give a damn, but not about your insecurities.

Vipassana
In a few hours I will be leaving for 10 days.
I'll be going to Belgium where I'll be doing a Vipassana meditation course. Basically this means 10 days of meditating in silence. 10 days! Never done that before, but I'm really looking forward to it. I remember when I did a part 2 silence course in Bad Antogast, which was 2 or 3 days. But then I met my girlfriend, which was a great experience. Ever got to know someone without talking to each other? It's cool!
Only thing is this won't happen very likely in everyday life, just as it's unlikely to find someone during a silence course. The result is invaluable; I got a unique lifetime experience and we're still happily together. That was 1.5 years ago. Time flies!
Let's see how time will fly during Vipassana. I imagine days passing by slow at first. But once you get into the rhythm, the song is over before you know it. Speaking about songs, I'm going to start a music production course in september; specialized in hip hop, teaching me how to make beats, how to mix, how to record, how to master. Mixing will be the most important thing. When I come back I have 1 week to get my equipment ready so I can start applying the things I learn there, at home. I was there yesterday actually, the place is awesome; they have like 3 studios, with superb equipment.
And last night I had a dream. I was just doing my thing when I suddenly heard my own song coming from the radio. I was stunned. People liked it, and later on when I was hanging out I even met Immortal Technique! It was strange though - it felt like I had known him for a long time.
Yesterday I read on Vigilant Citizen about the occult symbolism of Jay-Z's latest video clips. To be honest, I never really liked Jay-Z in the first place. But when I scrolled down I saw a picture of Prodigy, the main rapper of Mobb Deep (he looks a lot older!) talking about that he understands how the world goes around, and that people like Jay-Z are too afraid to speak out the truth. That he actually cried when he found out himself how it's all a setup; a conspiracy against humanity.
Thugs cry, but only the real. This makes me respect him more than any song ever could. Good times are not coming; they are already right now, you just gotta see it.

A New Course
Into the wild was temporarily dead, but just a second ago I reanimated it. It is important that I share knowledge with the world, and I like to write. There are many people out there who put in considerable effort into educating their fellow human beings. The most important thing you can do in life is to learn, and with that I don't mean going to school, because few things of value are ever thought there, if none at all. The only reason why I would send my kids to school is because I would want them to socialize with other kids their age. After all, also I have school to thank for a great many friendships.
But let's not get side tracked here, this is about education, and Into the Wild will be slightly different from what it used to be. The name remains, because it's still fitting; in the end the world is a jungle, whether vegetative or concrete. Even more the world is a jungle when we look at it from a different angle as in, the world of ideas, the realms of the mind, conscious and subconscious.
Our conscious mind is limited, our subconscious mind is not limitless, but regards a far bigger domain. It is important therefore, to understand that things such as mind control and indoctrination go beyond your conscious mind. Even more accurate to say would be that indoctrination is always targeted at your subsconscious. The conscious mind gets the information from the subconscious mind, hence people are not so quick to question their beliefs.
It takes some awareness, and literal open mindedness to be able to accept new ideas. Socrates did this by presenting people with questions that they could not answer; asking about their ideas and beliefs up to the point that they realized their opinions weren't grounded on anything. Of course, this is fairy tale psychology; most people will not even accept that their beliefs are based on nothing; rather they either stop listening or go into denial mode, which is in fact the same thing.
But I'm always happy to meet people who are conscious, who educated themselves out of a search for knowledge, because they felt intuitively that there was more to the story that we've been told as we're growing up. What story is that? The story of life; who we are, how we came here, why we're here, who came before us, who will come after us, why the things are the way they are. Take a look at society and you're flabbergasted.
There are people who feel something, but they don't act upon it. Afraid of what may come, afraid of knowing something they rather not know. People who would rather stay in their own world, in which everything is safe, rather than waking up. The irony is that waking up is inevitable, and the longer they wait, the more confronting it will be. In the end, staying in bed is just a waste of time; when you feel your eyes wanting to open, when you feel the warmth of the sunrays shining through the window, that's when you should wake up.
Intuition, the voice of God, the voice of your true self, is one to never ignore. Fear is there to distract you from the path. It's not in our nature to be frightened. Fear is nurtured by society, and we're completely unaware of that. We are society, and ignorant people means an easily manipulated world. Think of kids, how easy it is to manipulate them. It is a great responsibility to have kids, because it is your job to guide them with love.
At the same time it is very hard to raise kids, even when you're a good parent, because of all the bad influences society has on them. Nowadays I rarely see kids playing outside; all they do is play video games and watch television. When I was in Croatia it felt nostalgic to see so many kids playing outside. At the same time, I was horrified when I learned that they also watch Lady Gaga and similar rubbish.
The people who are aware, who take responsibility to educate themselves, should also take responsibility to share it with the world. Not in the way of putting your own opinions as the absolute truth, but in the way of having people start thinking for themselves in the way that you do. Most people don't think for themselves; they just repeat whatever they read in the papers or seen on the television.
My girlfriend is always horrified when I talk about my philosophy regarding machines, but bear in mind that the human body is a machine - a very advanced one at that - in itself, and there's nothing wrong with that. It only becomes an issue, when the machine takes over from consciousness, and that's what's happening. The machine is a tool, consciousness is what utilizes the tool.
At the very same time I also notice a change happening. As part of humanity grows ever more attached to illusion, there is also a part that starts to disconnect from the lies, and reconnect to the truth. Ever heard of the 100th monkey? You should google it. I know that there will come a time, not far from now, that our whole race will have a very sudden (if you talk about cycles that take thousands of years, then a span of 5 years would be very sudden) shift in consciousness. I dare say even, that this shift is already taking place right now.
The night is darkest before the dawn, and the New World Order will have seemed to succeed at the darkest point of human history, when suddenly we'll wake up one day in light, looking back at our destructive past as a terrible dream.
Maktub.

Not in the way of putting your own opinions as the absolute truth, but in the way of having people start thinking for themselves in the way that you do. Most people don't think for themselves; they just repeat whatever they read in the papers or seen on the television.
My girlfriend is always horrified when I talk about my philosophy regarding machines, but bear in mind that the human body is a machine - a very advanced one at that - in itself, and there's nothing wrong with that. It only becomes an issue, when the machine takes over from consciousness, and that's what's happening. The machine is a tool, consciousness is what utilizes the tool.
At the very same time I also notice a change happening. As part of humanity grows ever more attached to illusion, there is also a part that starts to disconnect from the lies, and reconnect to the truth. Ever heard of the 100th monkey? You should google it. I know that there will come a time, not far from now, that our whole race will have a very sudden (if you talk about cycles that take thousands of years, then a span of 5 years would be very sudden) shift in consciousness. I dare say even, that this shift is already taking place right now.
The night is darkest before the dawn, and the New World Order will have seemed to succeed at the darkest point of human history, when suddenly we'll wake up one day in light, looking back at our destructive past as a terrible dream.
Maktub.

Knowledge
"The growth of knowledge depends entirely on the existence of disagreement."
-Karl Popper
I disagree.
Leaves me with a paradox doesn't it? Then again, it's a typhical Popper thing to say. The founder of the falsification method, constructed that sentence in a way that it's falsification will justify it. But that's just lowly human logic. I'm not gonna get stuck in those games.
Most of our inventions were made by accident. So what was there to disagree with in the first place? Nothing. When man discovered fire, did it happen because he disagreed with the opinion that we can't make fire? He probably didn't even know what it was, but was just amazed at what suddenly happened.
How were te Vedas written in old India? Because of initial disagreement, with what? It's more likely the other way around; the knowledge came first, disagreement came later. Now we disagree with everything! The only thing worth disagreeing about are opinions. This information is created and maintained on the level of the mind. I would say any information coming from higher up should be accepted in favor of that what comes from lower levels of consciousness.
We can disagree with everything, but there's little use in trying to understand the things that surpass our understanding. In the end there's nothing to understand; it's all about knowing, and not knowing. In a place with no causality there's nothing to understand about anything, just observation.
So what I think about Popper's quote is that it's a typhical human thing to say.

Values
Intellect is a blessing, if you can put it in harmony with values. There is no such thing as a golden skill that will make everything else obsolete. First, you need values, after that, everything will come naturally and will be in harmony. Knowing the values is not the same as living them though. Nothing new, but still applicable. For me that is.
Like this job my doctor gave me. It was a very simple job, I didn't really know how long it would take me to do, but I ended up postphoning it for days! Then just a minute ago, I decided lets get this over with. Turns out it took me about 2 minutes. This is something I find hard to understand; why do I wait so long with stuff that takes 2 minutes to finish? I can occupy myself for hours before I do the things that take minutes!
The thing is, when I'm focused, I can work really fast. I like fast and precise, this is possible when focused. Rushing is not the same, that is too fast, because it will stop being precise at that point. Then you have to backtrack, do it over again, and you'll end up putting more time into it even though you were rushing in order to save time!
If I do all the important things first, I will be so succesful, like owning the world in 5 years, and with that I mean my world. So what is it? Values. Live them!

The Working Class
Since I've been home, I've been thinking about what I can do regarding work. Basically, I don't really care as long as it pays. Or at least, I didn't. I discovered this is not the right mentality. And no, I don't mean concerning the employer, cause I couldn't give 2 shits about them, but concerning myself. When I get to the point that I'll do anything for money, I feel that I start losing morality and my values. After all, as long as you go down that path far enough, eventually you'll end up robbing and killing if it's profitable.
Also, given the fact that any work you do earns you money, money is actually not a relevant factor when it comes to choosing work. All that's relevant is what you do, and if you want to do that. So I decided from now on I'll give myself a clear idea what kind of work I will be looking for, and at the same time I'll be open to other possibilities. I think that's the best way to get what I wanted in the first place. Because basically I would just like to work temporary jobs, giving me different experiences.
However, getting work is not so easy! I thought the recession didn't really hit Holland, but I guess it did. At least, it did in the way of going to an employment agency to find work. Also, I realized that with my current papers, my education is basically useless. I might as well not have graduated, because best they can offer me is production work; packing things together. Great, more donkey work. Then again, almost everything is donkey work. Stuff that you go to university to for 3 years is also donkey work. As long as you have the intellectual capacity to understand what you do, everything else is just automated pilot. Ok then, smart donkey work.
I realized today that my chances of getting a job are very slim when I put all my faith in employment agencies. I'm gonna have to be creative and do something by myself, which is also more rewarding. So what will that be? First off, I should be looking for something I can start with directly. My long term occupations will be organizing workshops, making music, writing a book. At least that's what I can think of right now. But for now, I can look around to see where there's places I can offer myself as a host for events, or go into sales.
I could even make something myself, but I don't know what. Thing is that most jobs for my kind of people are offered in summer, but then I want to be in Croatia, so I need to have money before that. I'll have to see what comes on my path, but it's not gonna be easy to find work soon. And I really don't have a dime! It will be alright though. I can always just buy a one way ticket to Costa Rica and teach English classes there. Or go to Africa and build a school. Steven's Academy for Health and Happiness; Harvard eat your heart out!
Anyway, it's not easy being the working class here. You get to do stupid, insignificant jobs, for a lousy salary that you even have to pay taxes over. It's clear that this is not for me. It's not meant to be, I'm supposed to do something different. Using my creativity, I'll find a way to get by. When I went to the agency this morning this guy was trying to break my balls asking me what I was good at. I said everything, it's all just practice. Then he continued that for every job there's about 100 applications, so what makes me different from the others? I said my attitude.
In reality, there is no difference other than your attitude. Do they really think their jobs are so complicated? It's all donkey work. The only reason why I wouldn't be able to do a job is because I would get so bored of it. You don't need experience, you don't need education. You just need to do it, everything else will come by itself. My dad told me when he finished law school, the first thing they told him in the office was: Ok so now just forget everything you've learned.
I said it in one of my songs that education is a race about who repeats the fastest and that's exactly what it is. Yesterday there was this guy from Oxford University in this talk show who was talking about this rowing race against Cambridge. He said that all guys in the boat were really smart and can do something. Amongst them the founders of Facebook. Did they have to go to university to think of something like Facebook? No! And when the interviewer asked him "So what can you do?" he gave a typhical bullshit answer along the lines of "In 5 years I'll work somewhere abroad". The genius!
This society is sick, and it's gonna die. A cancer of civilization, it's disgusting. In a few years, I'll be somewhere else. In a place that I can truly call home. Where friendliness and compassion will be most important. This world is not for me; it's that simple. I'll not settle with any of it.

Games
The most childish games are those which we play with each other. Like it's too hard to stick out your neck and reveal yourself. I'm not talking video games, but mind games. I always disliked this kind of behaviour. I only play with people's minds when I'm playing poker. But in real life this doesn't have to be part of the game. People are just too afraid to show themselves, like the world is going to end.
Let go of this fake identification; it's all just fear, and all fear is fake. There's only love. Whatever you bring with you, is only in your mind. It's mind luggage, weighing lots but adding nothing. If Ryan Air charged you for mind luggage, would you take any? So why do we carry it around, because we wrong ourselves with it. Every ounce is one step further from bliss.

Encore
Yesterday I left Zagreb, after 3 weeks. It was a smooth ride back to Bad Antogast, where I'm staying now. Although I'm already looking for a ticket back home; I wasn't really looking forward to cleaning more dishes. Reason why I came here is to see my friend Felix who joined YWC 2010, make a song with Rodion, and to see the final edit of the Source which I've been working on. Rodion, to my disappointment, just left BA a few days ago however, and will only be back in like 2 weeks. So I guess this song will have to be some other time then.
Tonight hopefully I'll get to meet the YWC group. As expected Katya doesn't want me to go and interfere with their training. Not to my surprise, because I figured AoL is nothing different than any other - commercial or charitable - organization. Basically they want you to fit into a certain pattern, and if you don't do that you're not considered valuable. To be with the organization your whole personality should be about the organization. Needless to say, that's not my cup of tea.
So I hope I'll see the gang tonight, cause I'm quite curious. But I'm not gonna stay here any longer than necessary. I think when I get home I'm gonna take a break from AoL for a while. I like the work but I don't like the organization. The work is the only reason why I did it anyway. I would like to keep teaching though, but I think I'm gonna start creating my own thing. I'll first get some more experience, more knowledge, assist some more AoL courses and the like.
I've been thinking about a way to make money for myself, without having some stupid people telling me what to do, and getting paid in cash. Setting up my own workshops would be an ideal solution. It will give me the opportunity to develop my skills the way I want to, do work I really like to do, and make a good living out of it. I can start by charging little, getting popularity that way, and then raise prices slightly. I definitely want to work with young people, so it'll be something similar to Yes+.
Anyway, it's something for in the future, because I really want to be able to offer something incredible to my participants. It's not like I'm doing it for the money, but I do need to get paid one way or another. Like, if I didn't have to make any money, I would still want to do something like this. At least it will be without the guru, instead, I will make guru's out of them! Just to say, real empowerment lies in believing in yourelf, not some guru. I don't mean any disrespect towards dear Sri Sri; I think he's a really nice and amazing guy. It's just that people get so caught up with this whole guru thing they completely lose perspective of their own capabilities. Like if he would die tomorrow, how many people would feel utterly hopeless and powerless?
I don't believe that this is something he would want to happen. I don't believe that he wants people to surrender their powers to him, but people do just do it themselves. This is what the government does to people by creating a so called Problem-Reaction-Solution construct. They create a problem, let the people panic (a reaction is not the same as a response, but a programmed behaviour), then provide a solution, which the people will gladly embrace. Patriot Act anyone?
Anyway, my YWC encore ends here. In June I will go to Dresden for a festival, but that's about it. My best wishes for the next generation, it was a pleasure, mostly because I met a wonderful girl, who I won't see for the next 3 months! What to do? Just accept and look forward to the next time.
I'll start planning my flight already :)

Death & Taxes
You ever heard of Eugenics? It's the science evolved around the belief of ubermensch, as the Nazi's would call it. Eugenics was in fact not founded in Nazi Germany, but in the US quite a few decades before that. It was Darwin's survival of the fittest that was pushed into the scientific paradigm by people who wanted to create a superior race. Actually, evolution is just a myth; it's nothing more than our collective consciousness changing the input/output between DNA and RNA. I suppose it just depends from what level of awareness you're decoding reality.
Anyway, Hitler explicitly said in his book that he was inspired by American Eugenicists who wrote about creating this ubermensch and which people were unfit. Belief it or not, but as a matter of fact a lot of American women in the early 1900's got sterilized because the government took from them the right to reproduce because of 'bad genes' in the family. Hitler took more drastic methods for his cleansing of humanity, but in the end it's coming from the same principle. And if you think Hitler was a bad guy, well, think of the people who actually created him for that purpose.
Hitler was definitely a creation, and thus was the second world war, as was the first one as well. There was no reason at all to fight a first world war. I never really understood the reasons my history books gave me in school, and indeed it was bullshit. The whole point of the first world war was a step in the direction for one world government, spawning the League of Nations. However, this institute wasn't too popular with many nations, since they saw it as a threat to their sovereignity. Then the schemers figured another world war would do the job, and so it did, proudly presenting the United Nations. History in a nutshell, the plan is simple; you don't have to read all those books to figure out why Hitler rose to power, and why world war I was fought in the first place. More likely you'll just get put on the wrong track, intentionally, because I never read the truth in my school books.
So to get back to Eugenics: As you know Nazi Germany put great importance in Eugenics research; there were thousands of researchers, including guys who experimented on people and killed thousands in the process, who were all cleared of any trial after the war, and were brought to the US or other allied countries. For what purpose? Well, to continue their research! You have to understand that Eugenics is a very important study for the elite, and still is nowadays. It is an important part of their New World Order agenda; creating an elite that is actually biologically different from the normal people, by enhancing themselves and making us dumb and stupid.
How they make us dumb and stupid? Just watch some tv and you'll figure it out soon enough. But also think of all the pharmaceuticals that doctors (supposedly there for your health) prescribe you. Don't blame the doctors though, they don't know any better than you do; they just follow what they learned in school: Bullshit. These medicine are not there to cure you! They exist for 2 reasons: Lowering consciousness, and making money off of you. As a bonus they'll give you side effects too so you can buy more medicine to deal with that. Health in fact doesn't cost you anything. It's all nutrition and lifestyle, NOTHING else.
Eugenics nowadays is not so popular a term, so it's disguised in social biology, amongst other terms, one of them being enviromentalism. Enviromentalism, now that sounds interesting, what's that got to do with Eugenics? First off the fact that under the banner of enviromentalism, we should have less children, because it would be bad for the world. Less children? Who are you to tell me whether I should have kids or not? As a matter of fact our population (of western countries that is) is going down rapidly. Look at what's happening in China; population control. In the US they have an institution for this, called Planned Parenthood. It serves exactly the same purpose. China is just an experiment to the elite, and that's what's in store for us in the future. You wanna live in a world, where you can't have kids without official approval?
Also, enviromentalism is the cause of something called carbon tax. They actually want to charge of for that! Convenient to force people to use those sources of energy, and at the same time make them feel bad about it and taxing them. Global warming has got nothing to do with any of that; it's just the sun that's heating up. Al Gore's inconvenient truth is just another card in the poker game that's been played for centuries. So don't worry about the ice caps melting, cause there's nothing you can do about it. Enviromentalism isn't there for the enviroment, so don't feel bad about not complying with their rules.
Same counts for taxes; they're not there to pay for roads and schools, but to pay the debt to the banksters, which is used to fund the murder of millions of people. Number one cause of death in the wold is the government, killing over 150 million people in the last century. And then I'm not even counting in man made diseases like AIDS. 150 million just by execution. Governments are not there to serve you; they're there to serve themselves, so don't feel bad bout not paying your taxes.
I certainly won't.

Governments are not there to serve you; they're there to serve themselves, so don't feel bad bout not paying your taxes.
I certainly won't.

Vive La Resistance!
Did you know that every coin you own is indebted to a cartel of bankers who use it to enslave you to labour through loans? Did you know that these same people decide what you see on tv, what you can buy in the supermarket, and who you can vote for? Did you know that these guys are also at the root of each and every armed conflict, predating the first world war? Did you know that the war in Afghanistan is about opium fields and oil pipelines? Did you know that US intelligence was well aware of Pearl Harbor way before it happened, that Roosevelt actually did everything in his power to provoke this attack, because he wanted support from the people to go to war? Did you know that the ancestor of George W. was actually in charge of camp Auschwitz, and that free Jewish slave labour helped him create his family fortune?
I could go on for some time, but in the end the most important question is whether you knew that the world's military, financial, and media powers are all under control of a handful of people. That they are the reason for the suffering of billions of people from every part of the world. So who are those people? Well let's start with the top of the pyramid: Queen Elizabeth II, Queen regnant of the Commonwealth Realms. Commonwealth Realms, what does that mean? Well, it involves the UK, Canada, Australia, and New Zealand, but what wikipedia doesn't tell you it also involves the US. This seemingly ceremonial figure is not powerless at all; in fact, she has more formal power than anyone else on the planet, and enjoys her political immunity.
Her right hand: Evelyn Rothschild. This guy owns practically half the world through Central Banks and multinational corporations. All financial roads lead to him and his family, if you follow the trace far enough back. Him and his group of banksters are always the ones who profit in the end, because they own both sides of any conflict. And that's why they like to provoke wars; because they're the ones who will profit from it, and the only ones at that. The war in Iraq is costing America so much money, but who is checking in that debt? Who is paying for that? The people, with money and blood, on both sides.
So who are "our boys" fighting out there? They're fighting their own brothers and sisters, that's why veterans are so fucked up beyond recognition. They're young uneducated boys who think they'll do something good to the world by going to war. The same counts for the so called "terrorists" on the other side. It's a chess game, in which there's a third party that likes to see both sides lose, by letting them fight each other. I must say that they did quite a good job at deceiving the masses while their plan for one world government unfolds. There is nothing good to be said about one world government; it will be total enslavement of people.
Contrary to what many people believe, we are not powerless at all. It's just the system that wants to make you believe that you're powerless. Because for a revolution to happen, not a shot has to fired, no sword has to be drawn. All it takes is for people to realize the truth, and they'll just stop obeying the bullshit laws and rules that we've been told to live by. In fact, all the power that this small group of people have, is only by us, who empower them by supporting the system. This system is a conglomerate of programs and institutions that exist only to keep us from finding the truth about who we really are.
We were all born into slavery, but it doesn't have to be that way. You have the power to decide to be free, right now. Don't let the program run you, but run the program instead. Vive la resistance!

Pizza Paradise
It's been a while; I've been on a trip with Iva through Italy, and ate a lot of pizza! We were quite lucky with the weather. It wasn't particulary hot, but way warmer than it is right now! Now I'm back in Zagreb again, our trip took about a week. Not very long, but many impressions. We've been to Venice, Florence, Pisa, and on the way back made a stop in Ljubljana where I finally met Jana and her boyfriend!
So let's start with Venice. Really, amazing city if I say so myself. Reminds me slightly of Amsterdam, but it's smaller and cuter. It's impossible not to get lost on your first day, but since it's so small, you'll eventually find the way back. Venice is divided by one big Canal, and in between the little islands there's a lot of water and mostly very small streets and bridges. Quite an expensive city though, and very touristic if you come to visit in summer. We stayed at a nice hostel for 2 nights, and saw quite a bit of the city. Also there's a lot of masks! There's no other place in Italy that offers masks like they make them in Venice; simply great craftmanship.
After Venice we went to Florence, also a very touristic city if you visit it in summer. We were there not even a week ago, and the lines to the museums were already big. Not that I care that much about musea, but Iva does. There's many different old buildings in Florence that really add to its character, but the atmosphere is nothing special. I definitely wouldn't want to live there! I think I would prefer Rome, but I'll go there sometime when it's more sunny, and have more money! On the second day in Florence we took a train to Pisa and visited the square with the famous tower and stuff. Looks very nice!
I must say though, that my opinion on religion kind of ruins the experience of seeing these big creations of faith. On one side I see a beautiful building, on another side I can't help but think: "What a waste of time, financed by money stolen from the people". But I suppose this is true for most sights in the world. You take a look at most world wonders they appear magnificent, but most of them are build by slaves, in times of empires that are responsible for the death and slaughter of millions of people.
Even thought the worth of these buildings diminish with this in the background, I do think it's important to realize the raw truth behind the illusionary beauty of what we see. This definitely counts for me, because if I don't, I'll just get swallowed up by my senses, which is senseless. But in the end, I'm happy that I've had a chance to see this stuff, but more importantly for me is that I had a nice trip together with Iva.
On the way back to Zagreb we stopped at Ljubljana and slept over at Jana's place. I remember I was in the bus, and suddenly I saw this girl waiting at the next stop. We got closer and I was like "omg it's her!". It was very nice to finally meet her, and it didn't feel strange at all actually. Also I met her boyfriend, who's a really nice guy. We talked about all sorts of stuff, and the next day me and Iva went to see some of the city. LJ is small, but very cute. It's quite old and has some nice architecture, and a good atmosphere.
Now I'm back in Zagreb; it's freezing and I'm a bit ill, so there's no way I'm leaving the house! All in all, Italy is definitely worth seeing, but if you're looking for the best pizza you should check Napels; I heard from many people that's where the real Pizza Paradise is at!

More Work
So yesterday at 3 in the morning I left to Croatia. 18 hours later I arrived. 18 hours! But it was well worth it, because at the end I saw my cutie pie again. Iva likes to plan alot; we're going to some resort, to Venice, and some other stuff. I love it! We really complement each other. Plans - spontaniousness, sanity - insanity, kittens - monkeys.
Today we met with Jasna, who is busy organizing a yes+ here in Croatia. Since I'm no longer under YWC oath I'm free to do as I please, so I decided to help her with organizing. According to her, international people here are very interesting, so my appearance alone should turn some heads to yes+. The course itself starts in 2 weeks, so I can see myself staying here for a bit longer than planned. Plans are a guideline, not a course of action.
Let's see what happens. It would be really nice to assist another yes+ course, this time with Vesna, a very experienced teacher. She did the eternity process with me, it would be really nice to see her again, and learn from her. Also, I'm invited for Dresden in mid June, to appear on a music festival representing Art of Living. Good stuff!
Life is presenting me the opportunities just like that, I don't have to put any effort; just do the kriya and stay sharp. It might be April before I get home, when I do the yes+ here, and give Bad Antogast a short visit on the way back. I like this spontanious stuff; keeps it interesting!

Cherries on Top
The course just ended barely half an hour ago. We were only 3, but it was very nice. Most people couldn't come, but it was perfect as it was. It was the first time I was teaching all by myself, and I must say it went really well! In fact, I can't think of anything I could've done better; it was simply good. Didn't cost me any effort at all either, I suppose that's the secret.
I was just there in every moment, talking, listening; it didn't matter. There was just a flow of energy that I was subtly directing, but I didn't really do anything. I just shared, and let them share. It was so easy! I'm still amazed by how smoothly everything went. And they say that with bigger groups it's even easier cause there's more energy.
This was definitely the best teaching experience I've had so far, and I'm definitely gonna continue on this path, even if only part time. That part of my time I will still be there as if it was full time! There is definitely a future in this stuff, not so far away; I really felt it tonight.
So tomorrow is one of my last nights here, featuring pasta ala stevo and a yet to be decided movie. Most of my friends will come, so that's really nice. I feel like I've done what I came here to do, and I can close this chapter now. Dresden mission accomplished. My hand stands still need a bit of practice, but I've come a long way. Much better than before! I can't wait to see my angel again, I feel so connected!
Definitely a good ending, like a cherry on top of my YWC pie. Life is good!

Masterpieces
Today is the last day of the course. It's actually about to start quite soon. I made a lot of sweets, there will be presents, beautiful processes and games; a good day for celebration. Guruji says make life a celebration, that's why the last day of the course should feel like that. Of course the whole course is a celebration, but there's also a lot of ass kicking going on in yes+. So on the last day it should be light.
Cigdem left this morning, so today I'm on my own, but that's fine. Cigdem and me have been doing a really good job so far. I felt very comfortable teaching together with her. She's gonna be a bit longer in Berlin, so rock it girl! As for me, after this course its bye bye Dresden, bye bye YWC.
Everything has to end sooner or later, and that's a good thing. The only thing that doesn't end or change is our true nature, and that's also a good thing. Yesterday I had a very deep experience after the short kriya. I went out of my body fully conscious, but I was also still in my body at the same time. It was not like I was outside of myself like a third person, but more like I was at more places at the same time. Really cool stuff!
Soon I will depart for Croatia to visit my little sweety, and after that it will be on to the next step. I got my mind made up, now it's just a matter of executing. I have visions about the future. Fast forwarding through the DVD we call life, I already know what will happen. But I don't like to spoil the fun for myself; just let it play, and enjoy.
Act II: Plugging back in. Like they do in the Matrix; another masterpiece.

Miracles
Miracles always come when you least expect them. That's why we call them miracles. In fact, a miracle doesn't exist for someone who doesn't have any expectations. But I suppose it's a nice thing for those who haven't been able to let go of their expectations so far, myself included. Because I honestly didn't expect the yes+ course to happen. Truth be told, we're a small amount of people, and therefore it will be a little bit of a different setup, leaving some things out.
But still, the course is happening! I called Cigdem today and told her to come. Yesterday 4 people came; 2 canceled, but 2 others came by surprise. One of them said she didn't really feel like doing the whole course, but she still showed up today! I guess I changed her mind. Since there was a kriya today, people were coming, including a guy who canceled for the course the other day. Sebastian then said he should come, and he did! +1.
Also Sebastian and Xenia, my friends and local volunteers for Art of Living here in Dresden, came to the course. So now we're 6, plus me and Cigdem. Today was the first day, 4 more to go. Tomorrow we'll do the first kriya, and after that we'll have some food, fun, and games. I'm really happy that it's finally happening!

To Teach or Not to Teach
That's indeed the question. It's a nice job, but organizing is a bitch. I'll say it once again: organizing is a bitch! It's so hard to get these people to move, makes me feel like I don't wanna put any more energy into it. So I don't. If you chase two rabbits, you'll lose them both. I'm just gonna do my own stuff and do the yoga workshops for whoever wants to come.
There's no pizza to be delivered here, nobody wants it so I'm not gonna keep telling people how nice and tasty it is. No, instead, I'm gonna eat it myself and enjoy. Besides, people like pasta ala stevo more than pizza ala Art of Living around here. Maybe back in Holland I'll have more luck. Obviously I'm doing something wrong here.
I remember when I came here in Dresden I had big dreams; I wanted to get together with the yes+ group from last time, have fun, and inspire them to do some PR with their friends and relatives. To get people through their social networks and organize a big course with 30-50 people. That's how I imagined it to be. But it wasn't that easy; I had to do everything myself, barely got any assistance with whatsoever. And since conventional methods have such little results, I felt my efforts were wasted and became lazy.
Most people say this is the point where you have to keep going. For me this is the point to reflect on what I'm doing and find another way, cause what I was doing so far obviously didn't work. I'm a man of efficiency and I don't want to waste a single breath on bad tactics. I like to keep going when I know there's gonna be result. I find it hard to surrender to faith without any rational backup. I have faith in many things, because I have a good idea of how things work, and after that it's just Jai Gurudev. Let go, and let be.
But without clever thinking, I find it extremely hard to have faith in actions. Maybe this is just something I have to cross, my learning point. Who knows, I suppose my music efforts will prove to be a good learning class for this. So what did I learn then in YWC? Many things, but I still feel like I learned nothing. It's a strange feeling, being full and empty at the same time. I'm completely changed from before in a very good way, and at the same time I'm completely the same. Was it worth it? Definitely, without a doubt! But I feel like I'm only at the beginning of a very long learning curve.
I suppose that's a good thing; if I would've been done with learning at age 22, what am I gonna do with the rest of my life? I'm still looking for something that I can give my heart to. Organizing isn't it, even for Art of Living. Convincing other people is one of the things I hate doing the most. I've spent my past 10 years convincing people of my beliefs, and in this year I realized that it's all bullshit. I still think about life, but just for myself. Everyone has to walk their own path, see the things they have to see, and think for themselves.
Of course I'll gladly share whatever I have with whoever is interested, that is definitely not in question. But this is not my responsibility. Or at least, I'm not taking it as my responsibility. People will have to put effort themselves if they wanna learn something new. It's a new attitude, a new kind of service. I just radiate, vibrate myself, and whoever is attracted can take whatever one wants to take; it's a like a big buffet. I don't need anything in return, I just want to give, but only to those who want to receive. And I'm not gonna put my energy anywhere else.
Because I do believe the shit will hit the fan for many people in the near future. I could say "told you so" but that's not gonna solve anything. It is at that time when the earth shakes that we start waking up. Who knows, some people die in their sleep. Whether that's a pleasant death or not doesn't matter. Let them die. They can continue their path in the next life.
It's a new attitude of self centered serving. I have so many things to do for me, I don't have time to tell other people what to do! Let me reap the fruits and I will see the truths; one of my lines. I mean that for me to grow, I have to reap my own fruits, and then people can see the beauty of blossoming. I think this is the key.
If I give someone a seed and tell them it's gonna turn into a beautiful tree, then how many people will trust me and commit that much time and effort to grow their tree? Very few; only the faithful, or the stupid. What I have to do, is to grow my roots deep, and my tree tall, and let it blossom in all it's beauty. Then people will see and ask: "How did you do that?", "Where did you get that from?". With such a picture in mind it's not very hard to commit yourself to a new path.
So the goal is clear; let's bake myself a nice big pie, and share it with whoever wants a piece. It's like I do my pasta ala stevo's; they're always a success. Socratez will serve food for your mind.

Very few; only the faithful, or the stupid. What I have to do, is to grow my roots deep, and my tree tall, and let it blossom in all it's beauty. Then people will see and ask: "How did you do that?", "Where did you get that from?". With such a picture in mind it's not very hard to commit yourself to a new path.
So the goal is clear; let's bake myself a nice big pie, and share it with whoever wants a piece. It's like I do my pasta ala stevo's; they're always a success. Socratez will serve food for your mind.

Letting Go
It's a crazy world we're living in. Just now tonight I had almost forgotten about the mini yoga workshop, when suddenly 4 people arrive. You have to imagine that i was always doing it with like 1 or 2 people, and sometimes nobody showed up. But then when I let go, and put the least amount of effort, it suddenly happens that people come. I was so happily surprised; I even gave one of the girls a YWC CD for free!
That same girl was also really interested in doing the yes+ course. I need to get more people now, because she would really love it, and so would they. Are things finally moving in Dresden? Looks like it! Let's see what's up next. Wednesday I'm going to the meditation evening again, so maybe I can catch some more lost souls there. Either way, this little event really motivated me when I was needing it most. Thanks! You can be sure I'll gladly continue freezing my ass off flyering now.
About one week left, it's definitely possible. Three more yoga nights to introduce people to spirituality. It's gonna be an exciting game! Like those football games where your favorite team is losing, and time is ticking, but they're working for it, and they might just pull it off! I remember seeing Liverpool beat AC Milan or whatever team it was, from a 3-0 to a 3-3, and then they even managed to take it during extra time. I was watching it in Paris, when I was there with school. Must have been 2004. It's probably on youtube.
I must say that my favorite yes+ participants are those who never did anything similar, are a little bit sceptical, but still have the open mindedness to at least come and check it out. Just lovely. Such was one of the girls who was here tonight. Afterwards I asked her how she liked it, and she was really happy that she came. And that's it; doing something new is always a rewarding experience, even if it doesn't seem so at first glance. Because not all our experiences are labled as good.
This is why I don't like to label an experience as good or bad. It's just an experience, and nothing more or less. Every experience can help you find truth, help you find you, help you grow. You just gotta let go and enjoy the ride. You don't have any control over this rollercoaster anyway; it's just happening, and it will keep on happening. Whoever was afraid of losing sight of the events that occured to one's life, was the one who made up the illusion of control. There is no control, but in thinking there is, lies salvation.
Really? I think the only thing that can come from that idea is frustration; as soon as events take on a turn which is not to your likings, you'll start tearing your hair out and scream. Figuratively speaking, but sure some people actually do this. Just let go and relax. I believe everything happens for good, but you need to be able to perceive this, to recognize it. When is our perception clear? When we're relaxed. So what is the last thing we should do when the shit hits the fan? Exactly.
Most people are coca cola machines; you press a button, knowing exactly what will come out. Most of human behaviour has got nothing to do with consciousness or reason, even though people would like to believe so. As Oscar Wilde so eloquenty put: "One is tempted to define man as a rational animal who always loses his temper when he is called upon to act in accordance with the dictates of reason."
It takes time and practice to become aware of these tendencies, but it's definitely worth it. Trust me, you don't wanna be a football of your own software program. If there's anything you would like to control, I would say don't let your emotions control you.

Smokin' Aces
Seen that movie? It's not so special, so don't worry if you haven't. I've seen it quite a while ago, but that's not what I wanted to talk about this time anyway. No my children, this is about the wonderful game of Poker, worthy of a capital P. Throughout YWC I've amazed myself with my musical performance as in: I never thought I would ever be doing such things. The same thing applies to poker.
I used to be the kinda guy who bets on 'sure things' so to say. Was that me? No, it was just the fear of losing something. In fact, poker is all but gambling; it's a strategical game, based on mathematics, in which the best player will - eventually - always win. I'll put some emphasis on the word eventually, because this game requires you to have a lot of patience. There's no room for emotion in poker; it will strip you from all your money before you know it.
Don't get me wrong; I'm not trying to sound like a poker expert, but this is what I learned so far. I've only been playing for a few days now, and not for real money; I'm still in training school. Once I'm ready to join the big boys it will become harder, but so far I'm doing good. I managed to win about 100 times more than I lost, so at least that's something!
Anyway, for the sceptics among us: Luck is indeed also a factor in poker, but it's spread evenly, so it's definitely not a reliable force. This is why sometimes, when the odds are with you, you still lose! It's just part of the game, but that also makes it charming. Like I said, important is to be patient; the quicker you want to take the cash, the quicker others will take it from you. Poker needs time, and there's little room for opportunism.
With opportunism I mean that in theory, you could win the game with every hand. But poker is not about possibility, it's about probability. Wage your chances according to what's at stake, and make the mathematical decision. Other factors are the playing styles of your opponents; depending on what they do, it can give you an indication of their hand.
All in all, this will definitely become a hobby of mine. Poker is a lovely game because it's simple, yet very challenging. It's also a good training for the mind, to keep your cool and not let emotions guide you. I think this is the biggest challenge of poker. You can be smart, but what when you lose a few games despite the odds being in your favour? Will you want to get that money back the next game, or do you patiently wait until it's your time to strike. Poker is a discipline.
In Yes+ we have a little story, about the rabbit and the tortoise. It's about them running against each other in which different events occur that changes the outcome of the match. There's a few lessons to be learned from this story that actually apply a lot to poker:
1) Slow and steady wins the game.
2) Fast and reliable is better.
3) Don't run, unless you have key compentencies.
Amen.

Truth as Authority
I just watched the first Zeitgeist movie. Before this, I had only seen the second one, and for some reason I thought that it wouldn't add much value to also see the first. I was wrong, so wrong. I would say they're both very informational and beautiful, and I really appreciate the work these people put into informing the public. Unlike what the media does. It is amazing to see how simply a small group of people managed to create such a big lie, and we just obey.
It's like the brainwashed kids in Africa, walking around with guns killing people. They're not bad kids, they just don't know any better, and lies have been repeated again and again until they started to believe them. We are no different, exactly the same is going on here. Maybe with less bloodshed, but does that matter? Blood is shed on the other side of the world, those are our people just as well. Our people, dying on both sides.
Who ever wanted to go to war? Nobody but bankers. Because it increases the debt that governments create towards their central banks by taking more loans. Every provocation that preoccured the first world war, second world war, and vietnam war was in fact staged into getting support from the people. In fact, certain U.S. corporations owned by families that also owned the banking cartel, were supplying good to support the NAZI war effort. That's not a typo! I really meant NAZI war effort!
I could go on and on to explain how America turned from a country that fought for its independence towards the British Central bank, to become a slave of the U.S. Central Bank. And how, once this institute was established, economical crises were staged in order to collapse other banks, which then could be bought for virtually nothing in order to expand the cartel. Capitalism? No, it's robbery. And in the end, it's the people who pay the price for a nation's debt. That means YOU. So wether or not you support this idea, it's still slavery. You're still enslaved, by putting you in debt, because every dollar or euro that you own, has its inherent price, an inherent debt.
Like I was going to say, I could go on about this, but better just see the movie. Or not, suit yourself. I honestly don't care, because people who feel something is wrong, will do it on their own anyway. So the game is on, with the world a stage. I sincerely believe there is nothing to fear, for the world, as some picture it to be, will never become reality. So even if you don't care about all this crap, then please, by all means, do not. Just sit back, relax, drink your juice, turn off your tv, and don't pay your taxes.
It is impossible to hide your face, eventually truth will shine through the lies.
To end it with a quote:
"They must find it difficult...
Those who have taken authority as truth,
rather than truth as the authority."
-G. Massey

Hidden Beauty
I did it again, broke another record! Yesterday Eva came back (local AOL teacher) from India, after not having slept for about 40 hours. She came earlier than I expected, because I hadn't cleaned the place up yet. But I knew she was too tired to complain about the place being dirty (that is, dirty according to her standards), so I could clean up a bit before hell broke lose.
It sounds worse than it actually was. This morning she was very friendly and showed me what I should clean, and so I did. Women in AOl are always very tidy, I don't know how come. But really, live together with them for a while, and your perception of dirt is broadened; when we showed me the dirty spots, they all looked new to me! I just never noticed. Personally, I like cleaning when a place is noticably dirty. It's just no fun to clean and not see a difference, feels like you're wasting your time.
Opposite values are complementary; that's why I like to shower when I'm really dirty. Showering every morning is ok, but it's nicer to shower when you just came from the forest or something where you were rolling in the dirt and been running around, so your skin is covered in a mixture of sweat and sand - lovely! Then when you take a shower you see all the water coloring brown as it leaves your body, and then you're clean! Good feeling.
Yesterday I read another chapter of David Icke's 'Infinite Love', it's really amazing how 2 hours of reading taught me more about the human organism than all those years of biology in high school ever did; not even close, not even comparable. When I was in school, I always had a feeling I was wasting my time. That's why I never was a good student, skipped many hours of classes, and had bad marks. Like, just good enough to barely pass to the next grade. Now, after all these years, I realize that indeed I was wasting my time. It's just that I'm very grateful that I met some of my best friends in that place, but school itself? Nah.
Also, I highly doubt I would ever be able to go back to university, having this knowledge. It would just feel like wasting another 3 years of my time, just so I can show off some meaningless piece of paper saying "look I'm smart". I couldn't care less, you can call me stupid but it won't change anything. Just another opinion.
When I was younger I always had the feeling that I was right, even though everyone else was saying otherwise. It was this thought of: You may all say this, but why couldn't you all be wrong? This is definitely not far from the truth. Say, where do you get your opinions from? It's not like everyone made up their own opinion, bollocks. Most people - and with that I really mean most as in, you too - have the opinions of others. Where do we get our information from? Media. Who controls the media? I say no more. Your opinions may differ slightly, but in the end they're all, I would say 'working as intended'; they've been programmed into your mind.
So to say that a majority of people saying the same thing adds anything to credibility is actually total bullshit. I would say it's the other way around: When everyone says this, then that's probably not true. To quote Oscar Wilde: "When people agree with me, I always get the feeling I must be wrong". When I finish with Icke, I'm going to read some of his stuff.
Sometimes I think back: How was I 1, 3, 5, 8 years ago? I come to the conclusion that I was depressed most of the time in high school, I just didn't want to accept misery in my life. There was no room for crying, although eventually it would always catch up on me. How could a joyful little guy like me be depressed? It's because I couldn't accept reality as I was perceiving it; that shitty wold could not be it, how was I gonna live a happy life in that world? I was lost, didn't feel at home in this world, but also didn't know where else to go; it was all around me!
Now, I realize that I've been really fortunate, although it was bound to happen. In a series of events that barely took 1.5 years up to this point, my whole perception, my whole life changed. I'm happy now. It's amazing how much can happen in such a short time, simply mind blowing! I'm 22 now, it took me over 20 years to find truth. I've been brainwashed my whole life; it's amazing that I was even able to accept new ideas after all the indoctrination that is passed down by DNA, which is activated by RNA.
There's nothing romantic about human nature; we really are just biological computers who receive and transmit unimaginable amounts of information every second. All our emotions really are nothing more than chemical reactions. So that's it? No, not in the slightest. The only thing I'm pointing out, is that our bodies, feelings, emotions, are all just software programs, and they cannot define who you are. You're infinite consciousness, whether aware of it or not. The whole world you perceive is a hologram inside your head. Everything is just energy vibrating on a specific frequency, our 5 senses just decode these waves into holograms.
Nice huh? I mean, ignorance is definitely not bliss. Above all, I would want to know the truth. So does this mean the world has become a darker place for me? Not at all! It's very good to know that this horrible place is in fact not real, and that the only truth is happiness, bliss, and joy. Also, the more I root myself in truth, the easier it will become to navigate through this world. It's like Neo in the matrix; when he realizes who he is, he's able to manipulate the matrix through consciousness.
If you made it this far into reading, then kudos to you; I think most people would've stopped a long time ago. I wish you'll find happiness, it's closer than you think!
You're beautiful.

Sweet Knowledge
Dresden, definitely a nice city. Old, artistic, authentic, hospitable, innovative. Oh and among all the posh words it's also the place where you can find one of the best doner places in Germany! Not that that matters a lot to me, since I eat mostly raw food, but still. However, yesterday after a night of going out I couldn't resist to have a late night snack in the form of a delicious durum fatma aka vegetarian wrap with potatoes, cheese, and falafel: Yummy!
Anyway, Dresden is also a pain in the ass. Opposite values are complementary, so I have to complain a bit too. Yea so a pain in the ass, why? Well, first off it's cold! But that's not really what I meant. No, what I mean is that I'm having a hard time organizing Yes+ here. I'm getting very little support from the volunteers, I can't get the Yes+ group motivated into coming together, and not many people show up for the mini-yoga workshops.
Let's analyze, what's the deal? In the end it's all my fault anyway, cause I'm responsible, but I want to know what I can do to make it happen. There must be some people out there in this city that are waiting for something amazing like Yes+ to cross their paths, no doubt about it. So where are those people? How to find them? I can say for one that it'll be easier to find them with my eyes closed. In the end, it's all state of mind, so I'm bound to meet these people sooner or later.
But in this world we work with dates and times, schedules and appointments. The course is on the 28th, which is next thursday, and then there must be some people ready to rock, else it cannot happen. I don't care if they all sign up on the last day, or even the last minute, as long as they do. The problem is that most people are just very preoccupied with themselves; they're so busy thinking about their own stuff, that they ironically completely lose track of themselves.
How can you lose track of yourself when you're thinking about yourself? Simple, because the thought of themself is not who they are, it's just an illusion. I met this guy the other day who seemed like a perfect canditate for Yes+; open minded, a bit insecure, trying to find himself amongst all the chaos in his life. Don't get me wrong; Yes+ is not just designed for depressed people, it's for people who know there is more to life than society makes us believe, but at the same time want to learn some practical things about life. Basically, it's for everyone, it's just that it takes some time to realize.
So I told this guy about meditation and my free workshops, and he said he would think about it. It's this stupid "maybe-attitude" that doesn't get you anywhere, but let's not side track. He then told me (since he's christian) that according to his religion, meditation can be dangerous because it gets you into contact with demons, and there are no such thing as angels. No such thing as angels? I'm in a relationship with one! But other than that, I was just really astonished by the brainwashing that takes place in this church in particular. I mean who told you that? And you buy it?
I replied that religion destroys spirituality, and that religion is an unimportant aspect of life because it's just a shell. I also said that (quoting Immortal Technique) hell is not a place you go when you're not a christian, but the failure of your life's greatest ambition (this guy spits good shit, definitely worth checking out if you can handle an angry pita boy). That seemed to resonate, who knows, maybe I'll see him coming. Would be really cool! I sincerely wish everyone this experience, people need to understand I'm not here out of self interest. Freezing my ass off flyering, and not getting paid, why would I do that? And that is not a question for me cuz I know why I do that.
The paradox of Yes+ is that the people who have done it are most likely to say yes again. It's this 'yes-mind' that is so important. I'm getting so tired of hearing maybe. Seriously I'm gonna charge double on maybe's in my course. 1 Euro for each maybe, should get us a nice afternoon eating cakes in the café around the corner. Indeed, knowledge IS sweet!
Anyway, Dresden is also a pain in the ass. Opposite values are complementary, so I have to complain a bit too. Yea so a pain in the ass, why? Well, first off it's cold! But that's not really what I meant. No, what I mean is that I'm having a hard time organizing Yes+ here. I'm getting very little support from the volunteers, I can't get the Yes+ group motivated into coming together, and not many people show up for the mini-yoga workshops.
Let's analyze, what's the deal? In the end it's all my fault anyway, cause I'm responsible, but I want to know what I can do to make it happen. There must be some people out there in this city that are waiting for something amazing like Yes+ to cross their paths, no doubt about it. So where are those people? How to find them? I can say for one that it'll be easier to find them with my eyes closed. In the end, it's all state of mind, so I'm bound to meet these people sooner or later.
But in this world we work with dates and times, schedules and appointments. The course is on the 28th, which is next thursday, and then there must be some people ready to rock, else it cannot happen. I don't care if they all sign up on the last day, or even the last minute, as long as they do. The problem is that most people are just very preoccupied with themselves; they're so busy thinking about their own stuff, that they ironically completely lose track of themselves.
How can you lose track of yourself when you're thinking about yourself? Simple, because the thought of themself is not who they are, it's just an illusion. I met this guy the other day who seemed like a perfect canditate for Yes+; open minded, a bit insecure, trying to find himself amongst all the chaos in his life. Don't get me wrong; Yes+ is not just designed for depressed people, it's for people who know there is more to life than society makes us believe, but at the same time want to learn some practical things about life. Basically, it's for everyone, it's just that it takes some time to realize.
So I told this guy about meditation and my free workshops, and he said he would think about it. It's this stupid "maybe-attitude" that doesn't get you anywhere, but let's not side track. He then told me (since he's christian) that according to his religion, meditation can be dangerous because it gets you into contact with demons, and there are no such thing as angels. No such thing as angels? I'm in a relationship with one! But other than that, I was just really astonished by the brainwashing that takes place in this church in particular. I mean who told you that? And you buy it?

The New Scientific Method
I'm a teacher, a child of the universe, a little creation amongst all the others. We are all the same, all one. What I do, is to let others realize what they are, which goes far deeper than who they think to be, or would like to be. Sharing this is the most beautiful gift you could give to anyone. It's the awakening, the rebirth of that which is omnipresent. How can you even live your life happily if that what makes you so wonderful is something you're completely unaware of?
It's quite ironic how we perceive the impossible rather than the possible. It shows how far we strayed from our nature. In Art of Living, we always talk about the tendencies of the mind, but what are those tendencies? How can they be natural? This is a nature versus nurture discussion, the simple answer is that both are present by definition. Nature is always present, because it's nature; you cannot escape or deny what you are. Nurture is present, because it encompasses that which has been nurtured.
Both are there, so it's a question of perception. When perception changes, everything around you changes, except for your nature. What does this mean? That everything is fake, and only our nature is real. Everything you have been taught, everything you've seen, smelled, tasted, or heard. It's all fake, because it's nothing more than electrical signals interpreted by your brain. How can you define reality in something that's changing all the time?
This is why conventional science will never be able to provide a satisfying answers, because perception keeps changing. Sometimes it may seem that we have solid answers, but in reality it just means we're stuck in our little world; our perception is stuck at one point, so what we see is the same, hence what we define is the same. Conventional science is what is taught at university. Trust me, I would love to be a scientist, but I don't want to be caged in an crude paradigm.
I have actually thought about this, let's become a scientist. Let's educate myself and see what I can learn about this world. Education is really something which depends on your own responsibility. You can't simply send your kids to school and label them as 'educated'. Hell, kids graduate more ignorant than when they came in! I would like to educate myself, just for the sake of my kids. So I can take responsibility to really educate them.
So this is what I do, I have already begun. I'm a teacher for the sake of others. Some people call themselves teacher just because they like to be smartasses. This is not teaching; it's self deception, and they can't teach anything but lies. Teaching is about sharing out of love. Love for the knowledge, and love for the students. At the same time, a teacher will be the last person to think he knows everything, on the contrary: A teacher can only see as far as he can accept that he knows nothing.
This is the key of science. Accepting that you know nothing, so that you can start observing. Real science is not about theories, it's about observation. Observe that which changes until you see that which doesn't change. That is nature, that is truth.
Start by closing your eyes, and observe.

Glorified Suicide
I just watched "Der Untergang". Quite an impressive movie, I must say I've never seen a film with so many suicides. The pride that some people take in ending their lives, as some code of honour. The samurai also had a similar thing going on, called Bushido, in which they had to commit suicide when they had brought shame to themselves, and with that, to their family name.
It's an interesting subject, suicide. I personally don't see this as an act of honour. Although I would make a distinction between suicide, and sacrifice. Of course the usefulness of a particular sacrifice is debatable, the act itself still comes from a totally different space than the one of suicide. Suicide has more to do with not wanting to live in a specific situation, whereas sacrifice is about wanting to change a situation, even if it means your own death. I would almost say the former is selfish, the latter is not, but it's not so simple the way I see it.
Thing is, when you kill yourself, you take away your future, your destiny. You can argue that killing yourself might have been your destiny, but I see destiny as a force that moves things; there is no movement in ending your own life. Also, more importantly, consider this: When you kill yourself, you have no more chance of clearing up any of your bad karma in this life. What does that mean? That you leave yourself a big bill of bad karma for the next life.
The beauty of getting second chances is, that people can really redeem themselves for whatever things they did in the past. This is why death penalties are plain wrong, and add nothing to the development of humanity. On the contrary; it only slows it down. Even worse is that people actually watch this happen, like it's a theatre! Yea let's watch the bad guy get killed, all our sadness is gone now! Our beloved is dead, but so is the murderer! Wow, talk about ignorance.
People should stop thinking that we have the right to avenge ourselves. Vengeance is a choice, but not a right. You can do whatever you want, but if you think vengeance will set you free, you are direly mistaken, and you will pay the same price as the one who you wish to inflict upon. Why? Because we are not God, we don't have any 'right' to do this or that. Trust me, people who do bad things will be taken care of; they will have to face themselves one day and they will have to set it right, or suffer endlessly. We don't need to make bad people suffer; they'll suffer enough already when they realize what they've done. Besides, we shouldn't take away their chance to set things right again.
All rights are made up, as the constitution is made up. There are no rights, there's only the illusion of having rights. Sounds bad? I think it's great! Makes me feel free. I don't need any smartass telling what I can or cannot do just because he wrote it on a piece of paper. So I prefer anarchy then? Well, there's gotta be anarchy before the tyranny can end. Destruction creates space for new creation; it is the way of things.
The night is darkest before the dawn.
