That was a good read, another
author to look into, and thanks.

I appreciate many of the posts in
here. They speak to my mind in a way that requires no drastic editing. My mind
has a similar view from behind my firewall, anti-virus scanner and pop-up
blocker. The more updates I install the easier it is to spot the hackers. I
still find myself getting the odd pop-up like humming those pesky Christmas
tunes that are playing everywhere. Reminds of Doug Stanhope doing the bit
about how his head never shuts up with his ex wife nagging and music playing
and it always sucks. I crunched it into one I posted with him. He reminds of
Bill Hicks or Carlin in some respects and only include it for entertainment value, we all need a good
laugh from time to time.

Here I go exposing my ignorance
with a few scattered thoughts and the questions that come to mind after many
years of reading and watching videos. Personally I am a little put off by some
material but I’ll watch or read most anything through, for my own twisted
reasons. A lot of the new science and spirituality reminds me of "The Secret",
are your thoughts things yet? It kind of blames you for your suffering,
rightly or wrongly. Is that western
Buddhism?

I’m no rocket scientist but we
know at the quantum level it's either waves or particles, depending upon the
observer and quarks make up this
energy
>
>
We also know matter is made from
this energy in the form of atoms and atoms are mostly empty space so matter is
merely energy condensed to a slow vibration that we can see and touch or
measure with our instruments

Keep in mind that we are all on a
planet circling our sun at about 60,000 miles an hour while spinning on our
axis at about 1,000 miles per hour so any feeling of motionlessness and
permanence is an illusion

The average person is aware of
50,000 self talks during their waking hours. These include the memories you
are preserving and the plans you are making for the future version of you.
Incidentally over 75% on average are negative which technically puts us all in
a state of PTSD. This is why I like all of you contributor’s posts as positive
affirmations.

The only things that carry on are
your memories and your vision of you in the future that you spent your time
planning and preparing for or watching tell lie vision and being indoctrinated
into by society

We all get to read 1984 through
the education system and watch movies like THX 1138, Roller ball, Running man,
Logan’s run, Star wars, James Bond, Blade Runner and the ever growing list of
dystopian
futures.

And what's with the latest god of
science, dark matter and energy. We can't see it or measure it but trust us,
it's there. Perhaps Newton’s laws
are wrong; forget that he may have plagiarized Kepler and
Huygens

Another question I had was, is
this tied to what some call the morphogenetic field, you know mice learning to
work mazes and switches or sheep learning to roll over cattle guards in
different areas at the same time

Is the zeitgeist movement a valid
form of activism or just more controlled
opposition?

I’ve often wondered what “success”
means to many of us “activists/truthers/anti-this
that or the other thing/concerned citizens”. To me it often seems that it
never goes beyond the – Problem – Reaction – Vague
solutions

I recall Dr. MLK saying protest
was useless for that reason. It doesn’t have solutions, just
complaints.

A lot of it seems to be focused on
government corruption and how exposing and replacing one representative,
leader, ruler with another will somehow change the system
itself.

Is it possible to solve the
problem using the same corporate laws that created the problem when common
sense applied to common laws would suffice? I don’t want to be killed so I
don’t kill others. I don’t want to starve so I don’t starve
others.

Notice the current mind set is I
don’t want to fight them here so I fight them over there. I don’t want to
starve so I hoard enough to last through the coming invasion by the starving
hoards I stole the food from in the first
place.

Talk often focuses on “restoring”
and “returning” to things like “sound money” and “the free market” It’s a kind
of nostalgic view of the good old days. I propose that there were no good old
days. Show me one example as evidence of a good old day and I’ll show you
someplace on the planet where it was anything but good. Oppression of one is
oppression of all. It’s one planet, one people. We need more evolution not
revolution or devolution.

Others offer the suggestion that
control of our money and economic purchasing power by the people sic the
state, will somehow bring independence and freedom while ignoring that the
system of monetary exchange of labor for basic life support will still exist.
The state will still exist and competing states will still form cartels. Take
away all their assets but allow them to continue writing credits and they will
just buy it all back again

I’ve got prejudices against the
zeitgeist package but the enemy of my enemy can be my friend. At present it
seems the only one offering a new world game. The concept of a leaderless
movement has appeal. The idea of focusing on how to feed and clothe the planet
instead of rape and pillage for personal wealth is something that interests me
as well.

I’m curious what others think of
it besides the hokey phrase Venus project and dubious interpretations of
religious roots.

They have some of the same views
of the future as I do. In my version of utopia there is their high speed rail
from South
America over the Bering to
South
Africa and all points
in between. There is their central database for people to query and share
ideas. Is that a direct democracy electing new ideas instead of new leaders
with no idea? Schools teach cooperation and voluntary participation in the
human struggle rather than the history of modern warfare and our continued
struggle against each other. The media is not a tool of distraction for power
but education for enlightenment and I don’t mean spirits, holy ghosts or gods.
That is unless someone has come up with verifiable testable evidence of any of
that stuff since yesterday.
>

Some people’s idea of utopia is a
cashless credit based society where we are born into debt/original sin with a
camera/god watching our every move and police/priests in armed vehicles
enforcing our compliance. It’s a theocratic hell hole where you have freedom
of religion but not freedom from religion. You will be required to pick a team
and fight to the death for it.

I’m pulling for the former,
evolution, while a few are pushing and programming the latter, continuous
revolution and a return to the good old days i.e. the dark ages or 1950’s
Tibet and it’s serfdom as Michael Parenti wrote
about in a recent article I was linked
to.

Is there a key to unlock this
