telling the truth

when we are young, it seems that life is great

but there are rules to follow, and rewards and punishments for behavior.

one imagines that, when older, secrets of life will be revealed.

i thought that somehow, the universe should communicate its truth to me

and therefore i should be truthful as well.

when we are young, it seems self evident that truth should be told.

for many years i looked for "the meaning of life"

as if, by its realization, i would transform my life fundamentally.

so i remember many days i would agonize about where humanity comes from,

where we are going, and who God is, and what we are supposed to do.

but at a certain point i realized that you just have to determine

what you want out of life, and do what it takes to get it.

life has the meaning we give it.

when i first got involved with talking with psychologists

and psychiatrists, i thought that by "telling the truth"

it would fundamentally transform my way of looking at the world

and thus, i probably said far too much about where my mind was wandering.

and so i got entangled in the torture system of psychiatry.

i read in a book by the author of the "peter principle"

that you should make a physical or a mental list of all the things

that you enjoy most in this world, and look at it every day, and

try to enjoy this life.

obviously, some things take a lot of work to attain

and other things you can just pick up at a grocery store.

but i realized at a certain point that life is a lot simpler than

one would think.

therefore, we are three dimensional body/souls in a three dimensional world

and we have goals, and we have things to avoid, and we have allies and enemies.

life is a game that God plays.

and if you want to go much farther than the average person,

you have to work that much harder than an average person.

communication has nothing to do with "telling the truth"

for its own sake.

rather, communication is there to facilitate goal setting and goal achieving.

we have this crazy thing called money, that dominates our world.

attention is traction. if you didn't have traction with your tennis shoes,

you'd fall down, as happens on the ice in winter.

traction to the present moment is attention to what needs to be done,

NOW, in the PRESENT MOMENT.

and some intelligent people, unfortunately, have to get entangled in

the torture system of psychiatry before they realize that most people

betray other people's freedom for money routinely.

so.....

you need to be that much more intelligent, that much more

dedicated to survival, to survive/thrive/reproduce

because if you have a million dollars, you are a player.

in that case, you can hire the expensive lawyers in case of trouble.

but if you have little money, you are a pawn, less than that, you

are a common person who can be used to gain money for the

authorities, the drug companies, the psychiatrists.

money is just another metaphor for either being the predator

or the prey. as nietzsche said, you must be either the

hammer or the anvil.

i am not saying that you should be ashamed of being poor.

but if you have the opportunity to create your own wealth,

it is a shame not to create your own future.

psychiatry, as a torture system, is based on mind control,

on brainwashing, on electroshock, and thus you must be

infinitely more devious, to the point that you look "normal."

this world is about achieving the most you can, being the most

you can, achieving your potential and more, "living large."

don't waste precious energy hating psychiatry. you don't

hate a spider's web, you just don't get caught in it.
