What Are Human Rights?

A very inspiring video I came across! An interesting topic as well, a multi-layered one too. In end, it is not about treaties, declarations and laws, but the way humans think. Because the way you view the world is reflected in your behavior. The narrower your view is, the more basic and instinctive your behavior is! Aggression and war are not domains of the advanced consciousness. Sadly, we, as humanity, are still so far away from any such higher state of perception on the global scale ..

Happy New Year world! Let it bring much inspiration in the months ahead

When Man Created God. Genesis of Religious Thought and the Spiritual Need [part 2]

In our contemporary societies, intrigues, rows and fights, jealousy, hypocrisy, selfishness and ignorance, break-ups and problematic communication are considered as standard spices to human relationships. It is normal for people to fight and be unable to reach consent with each other. It is normal to hurt each other both physically and emotionally, whether or not we feel sorry and apologize afterwards. Violence has always fascinated man and has been a preferred form of entertainment for both children and adults alike until this day. It is normal for peoples` behavior to first react and think later. Stereotypes and behavioral frames plague the minds of the youth, as well as their parents`. In their relationships, people do not seek harmony, but domination. Helplessly submitting to the will of their emotional affections and spontaneous urges.

It is no wonder really that ignorance and mental passivity are preferred states of the mind by default, since realization in self-awareness is not an easy process and causes much emotional distress to the traveler who dared to plunge into the depths of his soul. Self-control is an art that only the strongest wield. The first steps are the hardest. Just as the darkest hour is just before dawn.

A grotesque picture can be drawn of humanity today indeed, a present that we can radically transform. We create the future today, whether we do it consciously or not. If the average levels of awareness and understanding are heightened globally, we will make the next step in our social evolution as humanity and as self-aware, intelligent beings. This mental evolution is necessary if we are to move positively forward as humanity, because if we continue to develop only our exterior habitat, but remain stagnant and narrow-minded in our spiritual concepts and understanding one day a third world war with technologically advanced weapons will be inevitably fought. And this is a very grim prospect indeed, but lays very real and immanent on the path we currently follow. Our future relies upon us. Every individual matters, because if we are to truly change our world for the better, the change must begin in the mind of the individual! You may not be able to change the world alone, but you can change yourself and with that to positively influence your very local world. You may not be able to stop war and hate in the whole world, but you can stop those in yourself and bring peace and harmony in the world closest to you in the face of your family, at work, at the street in your relationships with friends and all the people you communicate with in your life. If you improve yourself and aim to higher awareness and understanding you influence the people around you and bring positive change in your life and the lives of people close to you.
And together we can move the world and drown it in a global wave of inspiration!

So, where do you start? Start with yourself!
How? Transform yourself into an example and embodiment of the new ideals – patience and understanding in your relationships with others, self-control and higher awareness in active mentality. Search for the reasons of your reactions and behavior, analyze, comprehend and understand yourself. Build your character, ask questions and search for the answers. Do not be passive – improve, dare and do!

Know yourself and reach the profound depths of your mind. Do not simply be an average person driven by your instincts and primal reactions, push your limits over the edge, sculpt yourself and wield yourself.
Most people find it hard at first to even see their inferiorities and imperfections or perceive their limited awareness, so that they wonder whatever there is to improve in themselves.

The human Ego is a strange entity or this essential personality that is formed in your childhood and established in your adulthood that you address when you say “I”. Often our perception for ourselves and what we show to the world differ, whether we do it consciously or not. Mostly our behavior as personality is driven by psychological motifs that are beyond our awareness. There are many common forms of behavior noted by the science of psychology that people share, like the compensatory behavior that is widely spread. For instance, a person who has poor self-esteem and deepened level of uncertainty tends to adopt an arrogant, aggressive and anti-social behavior with varying levels of intensity. Aggression always is a sign of inner uncertainty and fear.
Our ego has the peculiar property to conceal the true motifs for our reactions and affections, always searching for justifications, never allowing you to be critical towards yourself and ever sustaining a sense of greatness and impeccability. As if the purpose of the ego is to keep your consciousness in a semiautomatic state, preventing it from expanding and awaking. As if the human ego is a primal chain that frames our consciousness and keeps us asleep. A primitive mechanism that we haven`t realized as a limitation yet, along with our very basic mammalian behavior in the face of all the primal instincts that drive us.
As if, indeed self-knowledge is hidden from man, as the ancient wisdom says and human eyes have not yet fully awoken.
By a rule, if you are to grasp and comprehend the world and the most hidden mechanisms of the Universe better, you must first comprehend and understand yourself, the cosmos within you.
This is achieved by the process of self-observation that results in a heightened self-awareness and realization. By putting yourself at the place of the known object, whom you poke, question, explore and analyze. The more questions you ask and the more persistently you think on the answers the deeper your insight goes and the more you realize and understand.
Observation and contemplation are at the base of all knowledge. The answers rarely come in an instant with a flash, but usually unfold gradually in time becoming more and more profound and complete. Seek and you shall find.

How knowing yourself changes you? In quantum physics there is one fundamental principle, without the presence of which no system would have existed at all – this is the observer principle. The act of observation changes the behavior of the observable object, even more the act of observation sets it in motion and definitiveness. Without an observer no knowledge and no form exist. This notion is quite profound as it implicates that beyond our own consciousness that creates our personal reality, we live in another much bigger reality that is the Universe itself. And as far as we can discern this cosmos we live in is filled with all kinds of forms and definite objects with definite shapes and electromagnetic properties. Furthermore, this atomic soup of particles ultimately organized and reorganized in such a way that eventually led to life on Earth and evolution of human beings.
The Universe, from the energetic aspect we perceive it, is an unimaginably huge void of blackness and intangible nothingness that is scarcely filled with all the atoms that make up the billions of octillions of stars, all the exotic stellar objects of the cosmos, our planet and all life on it. As chaotic and unpredictable the quantum world is, all the systems from the stellar to the microcosmic are guided by certain patterns, physical principles and existential rules that define their form and movement. That is, the cause-and-effect link chain rules the world as we know it. Anthropology and cosmology tell us that the physical systems were set into motion and definite existence before the emergence of human consciousness, therefore there must be a greater, cosmic observer who by the act of observation has set into motion the organization of the atoms into ever more complex structures and the birth of the Universe itself. This is essentially the consciousness of the Universe herself, this Cosmic observer that observes itself and by this act creates all the forms, life and everything we know. Just as there are dimensions inside dimensions, so there are consciousnesses inside consciousnesses in a fractal manner and our human consciousness is a living mind inside the Mind of the Universe or this that we call God. Extremely profound. We discussed more this concept in our previous lecture and we will unfold it more in the lectures to come.
So, the act of observation gave birth to organized physical systems that led to our creation as well. Governed by the very same principles, the act of observing yourself sets your inner universe into motion. By observing yourself you gain insight about your inner workings and psychological mechanisms, you ask questions and tackle the answers, you analyze and by this process of taking notice of yourself you reveal new space in your mind and create new forms and knowledge.
Again, the more you take the effort to think, the more thoughts in your mind move, merge and organize into ideas, comprehensions, concepts and unfolding insight.
In the process of knowing yourself you become a creator of your very own, inmost universe that you fill with life. This is the deepest meaning to human life, that began to unfold since the ancient times when human consciousness gradually awoke for itself and began observing the world, this process of awakening from the primitive mammalian consciousness level to human is the profound transformation that inspired its symbolic reenactment in the biblical story of Genesis 3:7 “And the eyes of them both were opened, and they knew that they were naked;” The subject has detached itself from the object, the consciousness became autonomous and differentiated from the primordial womb of the unconsciousness. Now, the consciousness perceives itself as a subject that observes the world without as well as its world within. The symbolic psychological process this biblical story describes is very interesting to analyze, which we will do in an extensive lecture soon to come.
“And the eyes of them both were opened..” the human consciousness revealed.

It is time for the next big step in our spiritual, mental evolution. It is time to think deeper and realize wider, it is time to evolve our minds further! Someone
recently told me "What is normal?" in regard to psychopathologies in our contemporary society that are propagated as acceptable, so I though if we loose all of our criteria, what are we going to turn into ? And what about the health of this psyche of ours? I believe people should stop ignoring psychology, or deep troubles await us ahead!

When Man Created God. Genesis of Religious Thought and the Spiritual Need [part 1]

"The experience of being the knowing subject . . is only one half of the process of knowledge. The other half is the experience of being the known object.”
E.Edinger

To know yourself. This shrouded in mysticism ancient concept brings a sense of esoteric mystery in modern thought. But the human soul has been an object of exploration and contemplation since tens of thousands of years ago. It has been the tool for spiritual insight of the first shamans of ancient tribal communities, who felt there is more to themselves than can be seen. Self-knowledge was born back then, when people for the first time began to interprete their dreams and the symbolism that sprang out of the depths of their minds. When people began to search for the source of their thoughts that appear in the mind as if having a life of their own. The source of their emotions to which they were subordinate.
Since then the great endeavor in search of answers that human though embarked on gradually gave birth to all the legends, philosophies and religions we have today.

Spirituality is a fundamental and intrinsic quality of Homo Sapiens. Our ancient predecessors felt their intangible connectedness to those invisible aspects of nature, to this hidden life-giving Source that was behind everything. And thus ritual was born, out of the need to communicate with the intangible that was later recognized as God.

The perception of the mystic, hidden, spiritual and this intimate connectivity of all that is visible with something beyond ordinary senses do not spring from anywhere else, but the human soul. Satori, enlightment and divine insight do not come from anywhere outside, but take place in the soul. All this is important to mention, because worldwide there is this prevailing age-old delusion that the Divine is situated somewhere outside ourselves, what is more, somewhere far away and far above up in the unreachable heavens. We are used to perceive God as a human-like figure with human emotions who sits authoritatively on a throne in the skies forever watching the crawling little specs below, may be eating chips while following up the developing intrigues, war conflicts and newest technological brake-throughs.
Of course, our whole view of the world from a religious perspective is old and inconsistent with modern humanity and this is why there is so much tension between peoples and religions. We need a new, wider, deeper and more encompassing view and understanding of God, the Universe and our place in it, a view that will suit our mental potential and capacity as intelligent, civilized beings. We do not live in the middle ages anymore, despite that the new pope seems to have been living under a rock.

And there is only one way to achieve the next level in our social advancement as one humanity – by realizing and understanding ourselves deeper and better. The change must begin in the mind of the individual, the transformation from the primitive levels to higher levels of self-awareness and realization on the whole.
Which returns us to the ancient notion of knowing yourself.

To know yourself is the process of self-realization, self-contemplation and self-improvement. It is the active consciousness that is aware of its mechanisms, that observes itself, takes notes of its behavior and reactions, understands and realizes the psychological motifs of others as well as those in itself. Active consciousness that operates on a higher level than the average awareness we have as a social standard today.
The science of contemporary psychology, as though still in its infancy, has organized and synthesized all the empirical knowledge we have thus far about the mechanisms and structure of human psyche into an elegant and comprehensive system. Psychology is the modern analogue to the ancient practice of knowing yourself.
People from the past had always perceived this inmost, invisible darkness that has control over them and filled them with fearfulness. This darkness is the very nature of the predominant part of our psyche – the unconsciousness, the contents and mechanisms of which are unseen and unknown to our regular “I” consciousness that is by default our self-perception and all this that we call “Me”. When you say “I” you address this limited perimeter of awareness that floats “on top” of the depths of your complete Self.

So, what exactly is this unreachable unconsciousness? And if our wishes, moods, affections and behavior are predominantly set to motion by psychological motifs that we are not aware of, then how can we realize all these so that we expand the limits of our minds?

The unconsciousness contains all the mechanisms that drive us in life, its roots begin from our DNA, where the fundamental instincts are encoded (Self-preservation and Reproduction instincts that we share with all other life on this planet, as well as many other forms of behavior which we will discuss at another lecture). The structure of our psyche is in layers and as we pointed out the deepest layer begins in our DNA that contains all the information from the very beginning of life on Earth. We have much to understand about this and much to learn. This is what the old Sanscrit esoterics call “Akasha”, the Informational pool of Earth or what Carl G.Jung describes as the Collective Unconscious, the source of primal symbolism. In brief. Then comes the personal level of the unconscious where all those emotional affections, events, twists and turns that shaped our personality throughout our lives are contained. In the universe energy is never lost, information is energy, memories are information. From the very moment when your brain is complete in the womb you start the record button and it never stops until your death. The psyche records your life completely, even though consciously you forget many things and remember just a few of all.
Having described these very basics of the psyche you may argue that if your psychology is rooted in your DNA then personality is predetermined genetically. The answer is a firm No. Firstly, you cannot dismiss the influence over ones personality the family setting has. The influence that the setting where you grow up has on your personality is tremendous and is the main shape-giver of what you are as a person and character. Then when the child is older it is greatly influenced by its peers, the “spirit of the era” in terms of the most fashionable stereotypes, mind frames and traditions that prevail in the society it lives in. And until it is adolescent and able to think and analyze on its own, this child` psyche is already fully formed and in most cases it remains in this shape with very little change throughout its life. That is why how you rear up the child is of utmost importance about what it is going to be when it grows up.
Of course, this is the case for most people who never embark on the journey of self-realization, observation and improvement. Because whatever your psychological start in life, when you grow up you have the ability to consciously reshape yourself, rebuild your personality and radically better yourself as a self-aware individual.
Considering the more or less uniqueness of every individual psyche, the process of self-improvement thus cannot have one universal formula that will work for all. However, there are certain key points that are collectively applicable to all and a must in order for you to achieve results, these are as follows: to put yourself at the place of the object of observation, to ask questions about yourself to yourself and search for the reasons behind your behavior, character, personality traits, moods, affections and reactions; honesty and sincerity with yourself. Perseverance and persistence in your will to achieve results and attain insight.

The first steps are the hardest. For me, after a decade of active mentality and self-analyzes I have achieved remarkable results that are already visible for everyone who knew me since back then when I first began. And even, I can say that I truly put my will into this some five years ago when I overcame my worst teenage years. So, in this period of five years I improved my character and relationships greatly, attained amazing insights about the nature of human mind, soul, society, religions, God… during the last two years I`ve increased my IQ with 30 points and my understanding about myself and the world is increasingly deepening and widening. Also, I notice an acceleration in the rate of sudden realizations and profound insights. A truly remarkable journey that sadly very few people undertake.

In the beginning it is hard, confusing and seemingly futile. The hardest part is being honest with yourself. It is very hard to admit to yourself that you were wrong, that you reacted inadequately, that the blame is in yourself and to acknowledge your negative personality traits. But if you persist, the results gradually come and in time you expand your awareness and the process of self-analyzes becomes a state of your mind. Your ability to communicate with others improves as well as all of your relationships. And problematic relationships are a plague for modern societies, resulting in all those ridiculous intrigues, constant fights, brake-ups and divorces.
Just imagine if everyone consciously betters him/herself and heightens his and her awareness. Humanity will radically transform into something unforeseen by grim science fiction views of the future where the same people fight with better guns.

Let us turn our attention now towards the introductionary quotation of E.Edinger and analyze that, which it describes.
In order for any knowledge to exist two fundamental factors must be present – observing subject and object of observation. When the scientist examines the atom, he or she is the observing subject, while the atom is the object of observation. When we explore the world we live in, the world is the object of observation and we are the observing subject.
During the predominant part of their life, the average person is mostly in the role of the observing subject, experiencing the world with our senses that connects us to reality outside and our consciousness with gaze fixed on the scene from without. It happens more or less to occasionally reflect on oneself, but so rarely this self-contemplation is persistent and consistent enough so to lead the personality to realization and awareness, to improvement, unfoldment and perfection.
In the process of self-knowledge and self-awareness, you put yourself at the place of the observable object, while the observing subject is you again. This is the consciousness that is aware of and observes itself. And in this process of self-observation your inmost universe becomes alive and fills up with forms, emotions and symbols that were previously unseen by your minds` eye.
Self-knowledge, as the highest aim and spiritual meaning to human life has been a central part in all philosophical and esoteric teachings since the most ancient of times.
Yet, our psyche remains largely unexplored and poorly understood to this day. The average levels of self-awareness being so low worldwide and humans still primarily driven by their most basic instincts. Mostly incapable of self-control, slaves to destiny, relying on the main stream to guide their thoughts, behavior and life. Still living by the laws of the herd and mental passivity.

What Is Good and Evil? The battle b/w Heaven and Hell?! The Moral Opposites in Human Self-Aware Mind [part 2]

Today, we are contemporary humans with much understanding of how things work and why things work the way they do. So, we know what causes earthquakes, storms and volcanic eruptions. We are quite aware of the reasons behind all these natural phenomena that are in fact cyclic processes involved in the very mechanism of life of our planet. Indeed, all these do harm living things on the surface of Earth, but if there were no earthquakes, storms or volcanic activity Earth would have been a dead planet.

That is, planetary processes involved with the very life cycle of Earth are not conscious acts committed with the purpose to harm humans. What an obvious deduction indeed. Earthquakes, volcanoes, rains and winds are all part of the life of this planet, so it is inadequate to designate these as “evil”, because these are not deliberate acts against, say, humans. It is only our subjective perception, quite naturally, since humans along with other living creatures do die in earthquakes, storms and so on, thus we interpret these as evil and think of these processes as the will of gods and spirits. Usually, humans perceive these “evil acts of nature gods” as manifestations of divine anger, which perception is quite peculiar as a psychological mechanism, because it shows that unconsciously humans always had had this sense of guilt before themselves and what they do.

So, our primitive interpretation of nature phenomena as “evil” is utterly inadequate and not applicable to nature at all.
Furthermore, let’s analyze if animals are evil then. Animals do eat humans sometimes and many other animals most of the time. Humans are animals too and for a predator there is no difference between a human prey and another animal prey. In nature it is “eat or be eaten” and this is the way life is. Life on Earth is a closed system, which means that everything is interconnected into a circular cycle that sustains itself. Some animals eat vegetables, other animals eat meat. There is nothing wrong for an animal to kill in order for it to eat and thus survive, quite on the contrary – this is the cycle of life in nature!

Only we separate ourselves from all other animals, but animals do not make this distinction, so if a carnivore has the chance to hunt down a human – it will, because human is no different from all different animals it would hunt down and feed on. It is ridiculous to blame an animal and call it “evil” because it attacked a human – it is instinct and it is the way life is. If an animal is threatened by a human it will protect itself and again you can’t blame it, because it would be foolish and subjective! I want to make it clear, if anyone happens to decide that I mean to say it is a good thing to be eaten alive – I reckon it is not a pleasant experience at all. What I say is that survival instinct is not “evil”, it is life. Evil is a human notion that was created by our active human minds and universally applied to everything, without us realizing how deeply subjective such a projection is.

Thus, Earth is an active planet and her planetary processes are not by any means conscious evil acts, just as animals do not kill because they are evil, but because they follow their instincts to survive. So, what is evil then and where does it come from?

At this point of our brief analysis we can turn to the intro quote again and reflect on its meaning once again.
The notion of evil began from ancient people’s interpretation for all the things that had harmful and negative effects on humans. Later on, this notion expanded and evolved into an ever increasing cosmogonic complexity until the spiritual world was completely divided into good and evil realms that were constantly into competition with one another.
Judaism, Christianity and Islam all acknowledge the metaphysical existence of one major dark figure that stands in opposition to the good god, this is the basis of monotheism – the good god opposed by an evil one. In fact, polytheism shares the same mythological conceptions with their pantheons of good and evil gods.

In general, humans thought that all the negative actions and bad deeds of human beings were ultimately governed by evil spirits that influenced humans to be evil. The image of the Devil is a composite image that unites all the negative qualities in humans and is held responsible for all the evil in the world. Indeed, our primitive lack of responsibility and limited self-awareness led to the need of such an image that was to be used as an excuse and justification for humans’ irresponsible and negative actions.
The human psyche is a vast informational dimension that is mostly hidden from our conscious minds, so that the reasons for our moods, thoughts, actions and behavior on the whole remain mostly unknown to us. Confronted with the impenetrable darkness of our unconscious mind we are just like a toy in the hands of a force that is beyond our control and this is the way those early humans felt as well. So they needed an explanation for what they could not explain, an explanation for what lied inside themselves. Self-knowledge as an occult teaching was formed about the same time, but the prevailing ignorant and primitive mass preferred the simpler explanation of evil spirits and demons. Thus humans dubbed their intrinsic lack of self-control and their mindless behavior as the work of devils who were conspiring against humanity, ever tempting the poor innocent humans into sin and crime.
Ignorance is the easy path of the primitive mind. And I do wish to emphasize on Primitive.
Also lazy and passive mind.

Because, we Homo Sapiens have the amazing “consciousness” quality to our minds and we are able to rationalize our actions and think in advance. Unfortunately, our herd instinct gathers people in groups united under political ideologies and religions, large groups where the individual is merged with the mass and the individual responsibility diminishes. Our world is divided in groups.

Just look around you and observe. Wars, aggressive behavior and conflicts on all levels from the personal to the international prevail in our human relationships. We do evil on ourselves and on each other. Religion blames it on devils and demons, but in reality evil is in our minds, humans are evil and negative human actions have evil consequences. All the rest is simply an excuse for the lack of self-control, self-awareness and responsibility, an excuse that the primitive mind readily takes advantage of. Sin is the summarizing old notion of the mindless and unconscious human behavior. All the evil in this world comes from what humans do and religion turns a blind eye to the very lack of rational and conscious behavior of its followers that regularly pray to their misconceived divine images for forgiveness and redemption. But true redemption comes from within, when the person consciously betters himself and herself towards higher self-awareness and deeper understanding.

The pictures of demons and unnatural creatures awake a primal and irrational fear in human minds. In medieval times, stories about evil spirits, devils and witches were widely used for teaching purposes to scare children so that they listen to their parents and be obedient. Nowadays, millions of adult individuals still rely and believe in these stories like retards. Please, do not offend, but this is the naked truth. Instead of trying to better ourselves consciously and live in harmony and higher awareness with one another we constantly search for justifications and excuses for our own ridiculous and negative behavior.

It is time to advance in our minds. It is time to leave our primitive past behind and move on towards a brighter future of higher awareness and global unity where people will cooperate with each other, live in harmony and understanding for the collective benefit of all!
Heaven will not come into earth from the sky, but only from within us. When humans take the next step in their spiritual evolution and transform themselves into mentally advanced beings with a higher level of self-awareness only then heaven will come to earth. If we truly realize this we can make a change. Heaven sleeps in our souls, in each and every one of us and waits. Waits to be awaken and realized. How long will it wait depends on us and if we do not change our ways it may never come to pass.
There are no divine beings in firey chariots coming to save us, we must realize this childish illusion of ours. We must save ourselves or perish like narrow-minded and foolish creatures that destroyed themselves. Humans cry to be saved from themselves, how pitiful indeed.
We are both slaves and masters of ourselves, you get born in the first state and the second is achievable only through conscious realization.
Evil has only one master and one slave – both are myself! And all demons live in man and die with him.

In summary, evil is the lack of awareness in man, evil is the negative behavior of the primitive human. All demons and devils have the face of man and the ancient battle between good and evil is fought nowhere else but in the human mind a.k.a man fights with himself – the light of willful, self-aware consciousness battles with the darkness of the unconscious mind of instincts and behavioral automations.

Who wins in yourself depends on YOU.

That’s it, the naked truth stripped of all illusions and childish fairy-tales. Have you ever wondered, what the nature of spirituality is?

To be or Not to be.. Aware? About Good and Evil, God and Satan – The Moral Opposites of Human Mind

“At least two thirds of our miseries spring from human stupidity, human malice and those great motivators and justifiers of malice and stupidity - idealism, dogmatism and proselytizing zeal on behalf of religious and political idols.” A. Huxley


Good and evil – this is the most fundamental pair of opposites in humanity’s spiritual and social cognitive perceptions. The notion of good and evil, as all things in our human cosmogony and existentiality views, initially developed from a quite trivial distinction that Homo Sapiens began to acknowledge tens of thousands of years ago. This was the most simple perception that death, pain and injury were bad things for a human to experience, thus everything that brought about any of these was naturally perceived as bad, treacherous and evil. There are no living beings that perceive death and pain as something good indeed, but Homo Sapiens had a marvelous brain that allowed us to develop these basic perceptions into complex cognitive models situated at the base of our spiritual views and human mythology.
Death has always been an unexplainable part of life that both drew people into its mysterious nature and scared them away with its inevitability. Archaeology and anthropology observe burial rituals as the earliest evidence for ritualistic behavior of ancient human tribes tens of thousands of years ago. Death and the unseen side of reality associated with it was the very first spiritual cult that laid the beginnings of human spirituality. Long before religions began to occur, humanity’s spirituality revolved around shamanism and the purpose of shamanistic practices were to communicate with death ancestors, whose spirits lived in nature and animals.
Death has not been considered evil by that time, the way much later religions considered it and was not associated with evil demons, but rather it was perceived as a transition from this world to another invisible aspect of reality that humans communicated with through shamanistic practices. The belief that ancestral spirits lived in animals was prevailing for long time and later influenced much of human mythological concepts and religions with zoomorphological deities, like Egyptian and later Greek and Roman mythologies where we see human and animal images in a symbolic symbiosis. It is interesting to note, that our notion of angels and demons is also fundamentally influenced by these ancient spiritual concepts of supernatural deitification that was symbolically perceived as a fusion between human and animal – that is why angels have bird-like wings and demons are often depicted with goat and bat body parts. Of course, the visual representation of christian mythology was established and dogmatized mainly by medieval artists like Michelangelo and Da Vinci.

Long before major religions today were conceived and established, humanity began to develop and expand their spiritual views, filling the world with invisible spirits and supernatural forces that were behind everything inexplicable.
The forest was a dangerous place to be for the primitive human, especially at night when human eyes were of no use. Darkness was especially frightening for the ancient humans, because in the dark you cannot see what lurks near by and danger can stalk you unprepared.
Gradually, humans filled the forests with helping spirits who guided the hunter and traveler by day and ill-intentioned, delusive spirits that wandered in the forests by night. The psychological division of good and evil began to take root in human spiritual interpretation of the world around. The most fundamental division – that of light and dark was naturally the very first mythologized human perception, driven by the most pragmatic reasons.

The duality principle is present in every aspect of the Universe and is no wonder that human spiritual perceptions are also based on it. Day is opposed to night, cold to warm, weak to strength, sound to silence, life to death and so on. The world seems to be entirely based on the cyclic balance between opposite states. Of all the opposites that surrounded humans, none seemed to be more chaotic and inexplicable than the opposite emotional states that were constantly taking place in the human soul. Humans are very emotional beings, perhaps we are more of an emotional beings than rational ones. And namely our uncontrollable and unpredictable human emotions that drive our behavior were a complete mystery for the ancient human mind. Primal humans, thousands and tens of thousands of years ago, were perplexed with their own selves and dazzled by their emotions that took such a strong grip on the mind that humans were simply left with no other choice but to obey whatever the emotion demanded. The uncontrollable and demanding nature of human emotions is very much the same today and humans are pretty much slaves to their emotional urges just as much as they have always been. Self-control is the domain of very few individuals who now and then were persistent and strong enough to tame and master their own selves.

For the ancient human mind the unseen and chaotic nature of human emotions were perceived as the very will of spiritual entities acting upon their souls. Thus the notion of spiritual and ghostly intervention that took place inside human minds began to take shape.
For it was the greatest mystery as to how come you feel well and happy at one moment and at the next heavy emotions oppress your being. How come emotional affection was suddenly unleashed and you fell desperately in love to such an extent that your whole perception of the world changes. How come anger kicked in so unpredictably and a human was simply unable to neither stop it nor control it. All these were questions that began to bother ancient people’s minds and answers were needed in order for an explanation to formed that had to serve as an answer to all the generations to follow.

We discussed lightly the genesis of religious thought here and there in previous lectures and another one dedicated entirely on this topic is coming ahead, so we shall not discuss it here, although it is a part of the story, just as human evolution also is. Every element must be observed and taken into consideration in order to grasp and understand the Big Picture.

Human spirituality evolved from the way humans perceived the world and themselves. Moreover, human spirituality is a reflection of our human souls. As obvious as this notion is, as if humans today still do not comprehend and realize it, considering all the religious zeal and fanatism that prevail.

It is just so obvious that evil is associated with darkness, fire, anger. All the things that bring fear and are beyond the control of average humans. Our perception of our emotions as “forces” that had a will of their own was so persistent that it integrated in our very language and expressions. Anger was perceived as something that possesses and puts you under its will, just as love, but in the negative scale of the evolving human morality. All emotions were perceived as possessions that had a life on their own. Thus it was not long until humans began to interpret their emotional states as interventions from the spiritual world. The negative emotions were assigned to evil spirits and the positive ones – to good and helping spirits. This perceptual separation was to become the very foundation of all religions that were to come.
Because from then on gods were destined to always come in pairs – good gods and evil gods, always inseparably together.

It is a known quality of human psychology to project its emotional states onto the surrounding world, thus quite naturally our mythological notion of evil was associated with everything that brought fear to human mind. Much later on, evil was to serve as an excuse for the lack of personal responsibility and rational actions. In medieval Europe it was enough to say that the Devil made you do it and you were free of guilt and responsibility.

Human beings are controversial creatures that are primitively aggressive and cruel, while in the same time loving and compassionate. Of all the mysteries in the world there is no bigger mystery than human mind. The emotional duality of human mind gave rise to the spiritual and moral dualities that became the foundation of human society.
Good and bad are simply part of life. You live your life in a precarious balance between your emotional controversies that also reflect on your relationship with the world. All human relations are haunted by ups and downs that seem to be beyond rational control.

Religion, just as human psychology, seems to also be beyond rational control. In our primitive past people explained their behavior with the influence of good and evil spirits acting upon their poor innocent human self. However, it is utterly shocking when you realize just how much contemporary humans continue to use all these ancient models and “understandings” to guide their life and views on the world.
Religion is old and modern humans are supposed to have advanced in their minds so that they achieve a deeper and more conscious understanding of themselves and the world we live in. Instead, we observe a complete mental stagnation and even degradation, which is quite a pitiful sight. What is even more disturbing, is that we seem to not be able to realize the very nature of this religion that chains the development of human consciousness. I mean humanity as a whole, because separate individuals with deeper insight were always present, unfortunately for them they were usually quite alone. However, the psychological mechanisms behind humanity’s need for religion go deep and involve profound factors that lie in the very base of human psychology. Just as a teaser I will mention the need for a parental, authority figure that forms in the child’s psyche and stays with it for life. Ponder that for a while.

Speaking of good and evil, let’s continue our exploration into the supernatural and see exactly what evil is, how it came to be and what it really signifies.
By our collective perception “Evil” is a wide term that addresses everything that causes harm particularly to humans. In time, the notion of evil has become a widely used reference in our everyday language expressions and cognitive perceptions.
In general, evil is not just a religious notion, but it is our perception of an act that causes harm in any way. However, there is an important factor that defines evil, that is evil signifies a deliberate and purposeful act with negative consequences. Now, in order for an act to be deliberate and purposeful this act must be committed by a conscious entity that acts autonomously by its will.
In our primitive tribal past people widely used to subject to deitification nature and natural phenomena like weather, volcanoes, earthquakes and so on. Most of these nature gods were perceived as treacherous, their actions expressed in terms of strong winds and rains, thunderstorms, volcanic eruptions or earthquakes were perceived as evil, purposed to harm humans. Another perception was that such nature gods were not solely evil, but angered otherwise good gods who had to be quartered for mercy and forgiveness via prayers or sacrifice so that the angry gods relax and seize their havoc.

The Frequency of Reality We All Are Tuned Into [the Cosmic Guidance effect] Part 2

Let`s direct our attention towards the nature of this reality we exist in. Quantum physics gives us an amazing insight into the fundamental nature of matter and reality itself. The Universe, turns out to be an energetic structure that unfolds holarchically in a multidimensional manner, where every dimension is associated with certain energetic level or frequency. Furthermore, this energetic structure can be described with the frequency spectrum or in other words reality is made of different levels of energy and exactly these energetic differences define the properties of all those fundamental particles that make up all matter.

But hey, what the heck do you mean with this “all matter is energy”?! How come, when it feels so damn solid? As old Einstein remarked “Imagination is the most powerful tool of the intellect!” So, let`s turn our imaginations on and visualize the big picture.

Matter is solid. We know that matter can also be gaseous like clouds, liquid like vodka and plasma in extremely high temperatures, for example the matter that makes up stars is in the state of plasma. A big rock is a very solid thing, that if falls on top of something usually crushes it. We also know other extremely solid objects in the cosmos like neutron stars, whose atomic density is so thick that a spoonful of neutron star matter would weight millions of tons here on Earth.

In brief, every solid body is composed of atoms that are bonded in certain configurations forming the specific molecular structure of the solid object. How solid an object is depends either on its atomic density or molecular structure, some structural configurations are more resistant to pressure than others, for example a geometrical sphere is more resistant to outside pressure than a square that is why objects in space are spherical rather than square. So, every material body is made up of different atoms bonded in certain molecular structures. Atoms are fundamentally composed of protons, neutrons and electrons. What makes atoms different and thus gives them different properties is the number of protons, neutrons and electrons an atom has. You know the periodic table. The simplest atom is Hydrogen it is made up of one proton and one electron. Atoms, therefore, are these nanoscopic structures composed of a number of protons and neutrons “orbited” by electrons. Electrons are enigmatic “balls” of extremely high energy, the kind of stuff lightnings are made of, that are also extremely fast. So fast, in fact that it is impossible for physicists to predict their path around the nuclei, for this reason electrons are thought to be in a state of superposition and generally superposition means faster than the speed of light, so that space disappears and you are virtually at every point in every moment.

However, as incredibly amazing and out of reach as all this may seem, let`s try see now all this prerequisite as a background frame for the nature of psy-phenomena and what are they as functions of reality.

And so, all solid matter is made up of molecules that are made up of atoms that are made up subatomic particles. Protons and electrons are made of yet smaller particles called quarks. Notice how the deeper we go the more immaterial matter becomes. Mind that atoms are anything but solid balls of matter, but are made up of different energy-level charges that is subatomic particles. Quarks are pure energy as pure energy can get.

So, there, matter is energy.

But, then again, if matter is energy and we are made of matter, then why we perceive matter as a solid thing and can`t walk through walls, which would be pretty cool thing to do? Well, the answer is because we are at the same frequency with our environment of this dimension and this size. We have evolved to live and operate in this dimension and our brains are able to perceive only a fraction of the whole frequency spectrum there is, that is the whole of reality.

To ease your imagination, try to imagine the Universe from an atom point of view. It cannot possibly view the large-scale objects like planets, stars and galaxies the way see them, but sees reality only from the quantum-level perspective. In order to shift dimensions you must shift frequency or energy levels.

That is why we cannot walk through walls and Earth crust. Of course, you may wonder provided all this space between atoms how come the atoms of your body cannot sqeeze their way through the empty spaces between the atoms of another body. The answer again is size and frequency. As relative as size is, for that even the biggest objects are composed of the smallest things. A question of scale and levels.

Alright then, but all this does not provide any answer about the psy-phenomena we began discussing some while ago. Even more questions arise from the above answers. If we are not able to perceive reality any further than the limited frequency range our brain, body and senses operate in, then how can all these psy-phenomena exist? And I know they are a factual reality, because apart from all other peoples` accounts, I have my own relatively rich experience with such unexplainable events. It happens to me many times to suddenly remember an old friend whom I haven`t seen for long time, just like a thought about him or her that occurs randomly in my mind. Then, usually in the days to follow I just happen to meet this person. What a surprise.

Also in the same way of precognition-random-thought-occurrence I have known about random events in my everyday life that later happen just the way I thought. More or less important events sometimes even really insignificant. In numerous occasions I know in advance about certain developments of certain events, the responses and reactions of people I intent to speak with about something. Once one afternoon a random mental picture just popped in my mind about a dead kitten in a hole in the street just outside our apartment building and I got concerned for my mom to not get upset, because she is dedicated cat-lover. Just for a second or two. I was puzzled about the strange thoughts occurring in my mind. On the next day me and mom went out to wherever and just outside the building, down the street we saw a dead kitten in a hole of the road. I was shocked, and also what surprised me was that the reaction of my mom was a very objective and non-emotional one.. somehow it was different than the way she would usually react.. as if this "precognition" and the fact that I "got concerned" about the way she will take it, has actually had influenced her reaction so that it was in a different way.

This was a few years ago and this was the turning point when I began to pay attention to such thoughts and take notes whenever they happened to manifest as a precognition.

Since then, I observe and analyze these events whenever they happen to me and happen they do, randomly and sporadically. As a result of these observations over time, a mechanism of some kind begins to emerges, a relation and a pattern. All these precognitions are related to people, to other minds I somehow connect to in advance and they connect to me. As if, the EM field of Earth just has a few more properties we are not quite aware of yet!

And this is everything but impossible, obviously because I experience it, but also because of the nature of reality.

The Frequency of Reality We All Are Tuned Into and Its Properties of a Mediator Between Human Minds [the Cosmic Guidance effect]

Since written history exists, the intangible and spiritual has walked hand in hand with the trivial and material. We must conclude that spirituality is an intrinsic property of human mind, a property that is deeply woven in our nature, as human beings. Furthermore, a property of self-aware consciousness that evolved in human mind.

Shamans, gurus, healers and clairvoyants are described since the earliest of times, yet these so called psy-phenomena remain largely a mystery and beyond the reach of the average person, as if existing nowhere else but mythology. If human brain is basically the same in every healthy person and every skill is learned, as the brain has a not yet defined in terms of limits ability to learn, develop and advance in the lifetime of an individual, then how come some people can perceive what is intangible for others? We know that intelligence is a relative that can be developed and pushed further via learning and the more you use your brain, the better it gets.

Geniuses are not born, they are made. Now, you may think “Oh, yeah, can I become like Einstein then?” The basic answer is “Yes, you can.” Provided that you constantly and actively use your mind to think, think, learn and think, observe and think. Put some passion and mental resources into a field of interest and you just might come up with something brilliant at some point! This is the way those things happen.

The truth is, however, that most people simply don`t think enough or at least not outside their own subjective box, they reckon that academic education is enough learning for them and that learning and character-improvement are for kids and young people. That is why at certain point adults begin to retard, because they have stopped learning! This situation is even imprinted on a popular social stereotype associated with “the generations gap”. And that is why many people say “Hey, have children while you are young, so that you can catch up with them!” Catch up with someone that will be at least twenty years younger than me?! Why, have I been under a rock during this time or what? I wonder.

However, let`s return to our brief exploration of the psy-phenomena that is attributed to the phenomenon of consciousness, what is it and why most people can`t use it. Including myself.

We will begin with a basic example from my personal experience that is shared more or less with many other peoples` personal experiences. Have you noticed in your daily life the extent to which your prevailing mood reflects on the social atmosphere you are in? Whether in school, at work or any other social setting you are in, your mood seems to directly affect the way others perceive you, even if you don`t show it. For instance, when you are in a positive mental state, everything works with you, the people around you seem more cheerful, things work out in your favor and reality itself seems to readily cooperate. Whereas, if you are in a negative or mind-absent mood people behave colder with you, things go wrong one after another your computer stucks, things disappear from view and you get angry searching for them, you miss the buss for a second, you get a flat tire, et cetera. As if reality reflects your mental state and responds you alike. It is important to note, that we are talking about emotional state here, rather than an intellectual one.

It is hard to tell where the boundary is between your subjective perception and objective reality. The fact is, your mental state does affect your reality, whether you realize it or not.

In fact, reality behaves like a sensitive organism that always tunes with you, whether this will be in the positive or negative scales, reality makes no difference, it simply reflects it back. The difference between positive and negative is experienced and matters only to you. After all, can`t blame reality, it is not a human being so to make a distinction between good and bad. Say, volcanoes, tornadoes and all kinds of “natural disasters” are bad only in human eyes, in the eyes of Earth all these are normal processes, even more these processes show that our planet is alive and active. The concept of “evil” has meaning only in our human eyes! You cannot label the cosmos “good” or “evil”, this would sound simply ridiculous and quite primitive too. It is our primitive and immature trait to project our human qualities and emotions onto this cosmic entity we call “God”, however we will discuss this at a later time and hope that all these ancient misconceptions will clear off in our brighter future of humanity! Hopefully it be bright and filled with realization and fall of dogma for good.

So now I’ll try to briefly reflect on the nature of “psy phenomena” and discuss their nature tackling into the possibilities of acquiring willful and aware control over this seeming potential of our minds. All through my personal experience with such “psy events” with confirmations in real-life, not just some schyzo-scenes, lol! Just will try to sober it out based on what it looks like from empirical point of view, what it may be as a theoretical ‘function of reality’ and how it could be understood in practical terms more. Following up!

What the Bleep Do We Know?! Down the Rabbit Hole

"Follow the white rabbit"

Computer instructs Neo while he dreams inside the dream.
The imaginative and wild journey this dreamy girl takes in the exquisite novel of Lewis Carroll "Alice in Wonderland" written in the late 19th century captures the imaginations of generations to follow. The descent down the rabbit hole is a symbolic journey into the depths of yourself, when you turn your sight inside and peer deep into the ever darker and hidden layers of your psyche.
"Alice in Wonderland" is a must reading for every person looking for wisdom and insight. There is much hidden wisdom and guidance between the lines, when you look into the symbols that emanate from one another in a colorful chain between the real and the unreal!

It is interesting to mention that even in the oldest mythology preserved until today that of the Aboriginal people of Australia tells about the ancient times, which they call "The dream time", the time when people were walking alongside spirits and were half-awake. We will analyze some of the world mythologies` symbolism later on in our lectures.

Now, I really want to present you the ground-braking and mind-blowing video "What the Bleep Do We Know?!" that explains the quantum world in a language comprehendable for all!
Just think about it - everything around us, every object from peanuts to planets is composed of molecules that are composed of atoms that are composed of quarks that are composed of pure energy! The world we live in may seem like a solid, material thing for us, but in a fundamental level of reality it is simply made of pure energy. Different levels of energy that together makes up our world and us! I strongly recommend this movie, that will challenge the limits of your imagination and show you the world from a perspective you never thought about before.

I couldn`t find the whole movie around the video websites of the Internet, however I found pieces of it and this one is 20 mins. from the beginning. Sit back, relax and.. think!

And another 20 mins. :

There are 8 parts of the whole 1:40 mins. movie that you can watch in Dailymotion website or any other video website like Youtube, but in the Tube the movie is broken into 10 mins. parts.

If you find yourself inspired by the movie, I strongly recommend you the book, which is more detailed and things are explained even deeper for your mind to grasp and realize. You can find the book on the Amazon widget on the sidebar to the right or you can ask for it in your local bookstore!

you, then you haven`t understood it yet"

Let`s Straighten the Conceptual Curves and Clear the Fog

In my conscious experience so far I came to the conclusion that there is a general misunderstanding and a lack of understanding of all those elusive concepts and terms that are used to address the intangible aspects of the human being.

Since the ancient times of the Persian and Greek philosophers we have inherited the terminological concepts of the Soul, Consciousness and Mind. From these three many other immaterial terms derive like Spirituality, Enlightment, Insight, Revelation, Inspiration .. they all signify the intangible and hidden contents of human nature.

All these words are burdened with so much conceptual confusion and misinterpretation today, that it is hard to use them without provoking different degrees of prejudice, which is a result of this layered and accumulated misunderstanding throughout the ages.

Despite all the semantic and dogmatic misconception, the fact is that human beings are intelligent and deeply spiritual creatures. Furthermore, intelligence did put us on the top of the vertebrates pyramid, but it is the spiritual ritual that first served as a community-gatherer and fascinated those ancient predecessors of ours.

Spirituality, which later evolved into religion is this deeply symbolic fruit of the sensitive and creative human soul.

Now, let`s define some of the major concepts we often use, so that we leave the least room for misunderstanding and clear up the conceptual fog a bit.

We will start with the Mind. the Mind is a widely used concept in our everyday language and unsurprisingly so, since this term defines this essential entity that you are. Think about it, when you say “I” you generally don`t really mean your body, but this entity in your head that thinks and experiences the world consciously.

In general, the term “mind” addresses the rational and analytical abilities of our brain that distinguishes homo sapiens from all the rest living beings on this planet. This full of beauty, magical planet that gave us life! And on the other hand, the “mind” also addresses another aspect of the human brain, that we feel much closer to what we perceive ourselves to be, namely the Consciousness. Human consciousness is this phenomenon that we address when we say “I”.

The “Mind” concept is like a two-sided coin that, on the one hand signifies the “mechanical” qualities of the human brain like Intelligence, and on the other the conscious perception that the individual has for him/herself and the world.

Let`s take a brief look into Intelligence and its relation to Consciousness, since those two are both referred to by a common “mind” concept.

Intelligence is the overall evolutionary quality of the human mind due to its sophisticated design of neuron networks that give us the ability to learn, remember, think and analyze on a much wider scale and higher level than all the other animals on this Earth. Human memory capacity, for instance, is yet undefined nor there are defined boundaries of human imagination. Our ability to remember, analyze, estimate and think associatively makes us intelligent beings. Yet, intelligence as a property of the brain is not in a direct relation to this elusive consciousness of ours and specifically to the self-awareness aspect of consciousness.

There are numerous examples of this odd disrelation between ingenuity and self-awareness as in being conscious of yourself and analyzing yourself. There have been not one and two geniuses who had deep psychological controversies, unsocial behaviors and general lack of self-integrity. So, it is a fact that intelligence does not automatically lead to higher levels of consciousness as well.

Just as there are those spiritual teachers and gurus who have reached profound insights and deep understanding of their very nature and soul, yet they may not have much of what we call common knowledge of the official sciences of the day.

A controversy this is, undoubtfully. But, what causes it? And why intelligence is easier to develop than your psychological self? The human mind by default is outwardly oriented and our thoughts revolve around issues that regard the world around us in relation to us, but rarely we think about the world within us in relation to what we are. This is because of a very simple and pragmatic reason – our physical senses are outwardly oriented and our psyche has evolved on the background, where we cannot see it nor perceive it as being there. We experience its influence only indirectly as our changing moods, spontaneous reactions or thought associations and in different ways in our behavior and personality.

However, the purpose of this lecture is to briefly define the main ontological concepts we will be using much as we advance further.

We defined the “Mind” concept and its two conceptual and factological “branches” – Intelligence and Consciousness.

Now lets` take a closer look to the “consciousness” concept. As we mentioned above, the term Consciousness addresses our self-awareness on the one hand, and on the other it is used as a wider term that signifies the everyday awake state of the mind, like the opposite of being asleep. So, “consciousness” in our language defines two states of our mind – one is our average awareness of the world around us and the other is our self-awareness that realizes and observes the world within us.

As a quick note, “Consciousness” and “Awareness” are two generally interchangeable concepts that both define the same aspects of the mind. To be aware off.. something is to realize it, to observe it, to comprehend it, to notice its presence.. In this order of thoughts, we can define “awareness” as the active state of consciousness, as in running process that we are engaged in.

While, “consciousness” in modern psychological terms describes the mental wholeness of the human being, that is all your thoughts, memories, views and ideas, character and personality.

The term “consciousness” is related to the term “psyche” in this that the Psyche describes all that the Consciousness addresses in regard to self-awareness, but the psyche goes beyond and encompasses the vast, dark depths of the unconscious part of our minds. To clear it up, “psyche” is the general term addressing the wholeness of the mind in its psychological aspects of consciousness and unconsciousness. You can also think of it as the term "consciousness" encompasses your outwards perception of the world as well as your inwards (self-conscious) but excludes the unconscious part of your mind, while "psyche" relates and encompasses the whole inner, psychological world of your soul only. We are talking about semantic meanings of the words and etymological analysis here.

The unconscious expanses of our minds are very little explored, most notably in the last century with the birth of psychology as an official discipline of practical research. Despite all the amazing advancements in this field made by notable minds in the past and all the empirical knowledge on the subject that has been reflected in the books, psychology is a poorly understood matter by the wide majority of people.

Briefly, the term “unconsciousness” addresses this undefined psychological depths of yourself that unfold into layers as the newest is “situated” closest to your conscious awareness and the farthest goes beyond your individual experience and physical boundaries.

Want to see the border of your consciousness, live?! – then observe yourself! Think about, say an aspect of your personality (behavior) that you do not feel comfortable with. Maybe you are too shy? Or react inadequately in certain situations? You find it hard to fully communicate yourself to the others? Or do you have anger-management problems? Certain things in other people annoy you unbearably? Whatever it is, there is something you can find for sure.

Now, analyze! Remember the importance of the question “Why?” and sincere honesty with yourself. Honesty with oneself is essential, if you intend to deluse yourself and search for justifications you will not achieve any advancement.

So anyway, keep searching for the reasons you think might be behind your behavior and reactions. Follow the cause-and-effect chain down until you are unable to anymore. It may be a very short road, or a longer one. But at some point your thoughts disappear into an impenetrable darkness where you can not follow them any further. This is the realm of your unconscious mind. It is an interesting and very fruitful mental engagement, if you find yourself able to achieve any results. Concentration on the subject you follow is needed as well. And remember – practice makes perfect, it is a golden rule!

The “Psyche” concept is essentially interchangeable with the “Soul” concept, since they both address the same thing.

And lastly, lets` briefly summarize the conceptual definitions we deducted!

• Mind --> Intelligence and/or Consciousness
• Intelligence --> Rational and analytical abilities of the brain, memory capacity, imagination

• Consciousness --> Opposite state of being asleep, realizing the world around you and/or self-awareness
• Consciousness = Awareness
• Psyche --> Consciousness and Unconsciousness, psychological wholeness of what you are

• Psyche = Soul
