how your brain works
if there is something we are ever unhappy about- just ask 'is there something i can do about it?' if so- then do it and you will no longer be unhappy. if not- realise the futility of unhappiness. it does you no good. despite the many attempts i see going on to make us as a society unhappy, i still experience happiness.
however, i do realise that this would be easier without the politicians. ancient taoist proverb: buddhism was spread all over china to make people feel that their unhappiness was the result of past life actions, rather then the responsibility of crooked politicians. also- this was done in the west with christianity- we are unhappy because of some dude long ago who got kicked out of a garden. if what causes us joy is outside of what the church deems is okay, we are judged as sinners. made to fear. now, none of this is the message of either buddhism or christianity, but both were used in this manner. too much personal responsibility is false. too much exterior blame is false. there must be balance.
and- all it takes is one good open-eyed look around- there are forces at work in the united states in particular to program us to be unhappy. turn on the television for 2 hours and watch it, and think about what the shows and commercials are doing to the average mind, who has been primarily programmed- fashioned, formed, created- by this very beast. conspiracy? if so it is not well hidden. is it planned? i dunno, but conspiracy or not, it is real and it is happening. i suppose this too, like life.. could have been randomly generated. ;P
we are taught to want instant gratification- regarding food, sex, television, movies.. everything. we are taught to be unhappy when we do not get this. we are taught that we will be happy when we get that new car, that new house, the new job.promotion, our 3.4 children.. that steak dinner... whatever. always it is in the future.. soon as that reality arrives- bam- looking for the next thing to chase for happiness. the declaration of independence, what this country is founded upon- declares it the unalienable right to the pursuit of happiness. this means that happiness is something we do not have. otherwise why would we chase it? it is not the unalienable right to BE HAPPY. very interesting to me. i believe this sets up a consciousness in society and therefore the individual that happiness is something we do not have- it is something we must find. and that simply does not need to be so. i say we have the unalienable right to be happy!
hmmm.. in fact.. why not realise the passing nature of both unhappiness and happiness? become no longer attached to the idea of being happy? therein is true freedom.
and as such- right now.... sinking into a tranquil bliss of trusting the government and the water companies and so forth... strikes me as what most bush supporters i have met do. 'everything is okay, we are in good hands.' i find it foolish and dangerous to believe this when it is not so. (ahhh back when elizabeth (1) was queen! now at that time- it was far more a reality!
(at this point i refer to a book called 'pronoia' that an excerpt of was sent in by a cool drummer)
and i really do see this writing, while being beneficial for some, as being dangerous in that it could lead people who might otherwise be awake into false security sleep. i think we should ban this book because it is dangerous. like marijuana and lsd and mushrooms. they are dangerous. keep em banned. alcohol? dangerous? comeone... nobody has ever been killed by a drunk driver or died from alcohol poisoning! cigarettes? dangerous? nawwwwwwww.
hmmm.. actually.. marijuana- it IS dangerous.. lawyers would lose money if everyone was stoned.. people would not want to go to court and fight.. they would just come to settlements. doctors would lose money.. people would not be so sick all the time, due to mental crap causing physical ailments.... psychiatrists and pharmacists would lose out because people would stop taking all that crap drugs they feed us. no conspiracy going on? watch your television! if you are one of the 8 million americans who suffer from 'insert name of latest digestive illness here' ask your doctor about 'insert name of designer drug of the month here' THEY HAVE MOST OF US CONVINCED WE HAVE A DISEASE THAT DOES NOT EVEN REALLY EXIST. THESE CONDITIONS ARE A DIRECT RESULT OF FOLLOWING THE PROGRAMMING OF SATISFYING OUR HUNGER BY EATING IMPROPERLY. convert over to a fruit diet- wave byebye to your acid reflux disease. hell- convert to a vegan diet i bet you wave byebye to it.. chron's disease: the symptons only appear if you eat grain containing gluten. ( look this up) disease? or simply a result of improper diet?
and many other illnesses.. the result of improper programming is what it comes down to. improper programming on how to respond to events in everyday life. we are taught to become upset at insults, be angry when we get injured and hundreds more. this teaching goes deep into the subconscious where it is stored and constantly accesed- anytime anything occurs that bears a resemblance enough to the present event, our mind searches for a proper responce- it scans the memory for anything similar- if it finds nothing it does an extended search- comes up with whatever the closest thing is in the brain. this is an actual physical occurence, in fact- the brain attempts to find the most similar images, which will be stored nearby as it automatically chooses what cells to use to store which memory based upon similarity when they occur to begin with. hence.. it then works the other way back around.. or really, it all happens at once.
like this: child watches man stub toe. man curses and shouts upon stubbing toe.
brain registers: anger- stores it nearby- pain. uses actually neighboring brain cells to store these 2 things- as they occur together the entier expierience is recorded as an additional memory, containing these core components.
later- child stubs toe- feels pain- pain cells activate- their increased electrical energy awakens the nearby brain cells, otherwise dormant- nearby brain cells are image of man stubbing toe- subcomponents of this memory are pain and anger- both these cells must be activated for image to appear, anger is awoken. brain now recognises pain based upon its own experience- what is included in this present experience- the present reality of toe stubbing? oh yes- anger. present reality experience = "oh goddam motherfucker OUCCCH ffffuuuuuccckkk!" brain cells now form new memory of present experience. subcomonents- anger, pain.
child skins knee. child feels pain because skin cells send nerve message to thru nervous system travel up into brain. brain tells skin cells- calm down- work to get together and heal up. blood cells group cling together or you all flow out and we cease, all cease. blood clots and starts scabbing. brain experiences pain. nearby brain cells awakened by electrical energy in pain cell. nearby cells include man stubbing toe and child stubbing toe- images to be formed contain cells anger. anger cells stimulated and awakened to form memory. current experience gets stored nearby both previous memories as it shares connections with cells pain and anger- common components. efficiency is key.. at same time present experience of course becomes- skin knee, feel pain, get angry.
along with this- child sees man get disappointed at things not going his way. then child stubs toe- plans change- disappointment.. skins knee-- disappointment. this disappointment is of course, caused by attachment- attachment to wanting to continue with whatever was going on before the accident.
child becomes teen- teen falls in love. (i do not presently believe this to be taught- i see it as an inexplicable divine experience as it brings one into the state of transcendence- where absolute bliss is experienced) love turns to ashes (which occurs because of the misprogramming of both of their minds) teen experiences disappointment at things not going how it was desired. suffers because of attachment. feels pain. (different sort of pain- same reponse) pain cells as you recall, are stored nearby the anger cells. which are awakened.... yah.. so that is how our brains work,
..... and therefore our minds. or our minds and therefore our brains. it is both ways- which means it is perpetual. but eventually-- gravity wins.. and corrodes the perpetuation that would otherwise be infinite.
in short- there IS a conspiracy. it is a plan to keep you a slave. a slave to your own mind, our own desires, your own cravings, your illnesses. look around and see.. how many people fall into these categories? MOST OF AMERICA- and almost definitely YOU, tho these things hide very well as they were programmed sooo early and stored so long ago. how did this happen? well... geee.. i don't know! look around to see the results. what is the cause? look at your television. most powerful weapon ever made.
