Brainwash, Rinse and Repeat

Uh-oh!!!

Disclaimer:  This piece describes the “average” American.

DO, OR DO NOT, TAKE IT PERSONALLY!

If you’re the average American, you were born into a hand-me-down world.  Everything you were taught was regurgitated information – beliefs, ideas and expectations from the previous generation, who learned it from the previous generation, ad infinitum.......

For 13 years, the school system’s main objective was to turn you into a competitive, robotic monkey.  Advertisers trained you to buy products.  Religions, perverted by men, were crammed into your head.  Systems of government and laws, which you never agreed to, were forced upon you.  When it was time to leave school, you were pressured, out of guilt and fear, to go to college or join the work “force”.

Hey, that’s the way of the world,

no time to stop and think about it!

Unless, you’re one of those modern rebels, who stay at home smoking pot and playing video games all day (insert sarcasm) you’ve fallen into the routine of the good consumer.

Wake up,

clock in,

work,

clock out,

go home,

eat dinner,

watch TV,

go to sleep.

Only when you’ve fallen totally asleep,

do you have the American dream!

Your head has been programmed with a lifetime of bullshit!

Pick a side – democrat or republican.  Now defend the puppet on the left, or the puppet on the right, like it’s your favorite football team.  A great majority of the history you’ve been taught are flat out lies (The victors write the history books.)  Unless, you’re out there exploring the four corners of the globe (an oxymoron) you don’t know what’s really going on outside your country’s borders, beyond what tightly controlled media outlets feed you.  Although, I guess you’re up to snuff as to what happens when politicians close those big mahogany doors, right?  If you’re not making a conscious effort, even your human relationships are patterns, based on stereotypes and past experiences.

All this, yet, you’ve formed opinions on everything – even on topics you know extremely little about!  How can anyone truly claim to know anything with decades of white noise and static in the brain?

My point is, that unless you’ve taken steps to clear house, I mean really let go of the mental slavery you’ve been under, since birth, please don’t force your run-of-the-mill, regurgitated opinions on others.  Why do you think “kill the zombies” movies have been so hot, recently?  It’s a subconscious metaphor of the collective unconscious.  Although, I could be wrong (I never went to college.)

Yeah, yeah.....I write a lot about how what one focuses attention upon becomes a greater force in personal reality.  I guess I still have some residue that needs scraping from inside my skull.

This piece was inspired by my cousin.

To paraphrase Ram Dass:

If you think you’re enlightened,

go visit your family for the holidays.

My diet, long hair and attire don’t make me a hippie.
My thoughts and feelings do!

Freedom from the Cage of Personal Perspective

Is this room empty, or is it just me?

You have a very unique rhythm.  Nobody or nothing vibrates with the exact same frequency as you.  Biochemically, you are a self-contained Universe.  This very personal vibration renders you a magnet to the forces which create your life!

From the vantage point of individual perspective, we each live in an entirely different dimension of reality.  If you really take the time to give this idea some serious contemplation, it is truly mind-boggling!  Now, if we identify “who we are” with these single-pointed perspectives of reality, then we are utterly alone.  Thus, the others around you live in self-contained points of perspective, and are alone, as well.

A paradox develops.  If we are each alone in our own little worlds, then don’t we have that in common?  This means that when it comes to being alone - you’re not alone!  What about the way in which our Universes overlap?  Are you playing a supporting role in the story of my life, or am I merely a prop on your theater stage?

Many spiritually-minded have deduced that the issue at hand is our incessant need to cling to our personal points of perspective, in such manic fashion, that a separate sense of self (ego) is inevitable.  After all, we’ve spent a lifetime worshiping at the altar of our identities.  We have a lot of stock invested in the company called “Me”.

Okay, let’s look at this from a different angle (perspective).  Everyone has had empathetic moments – those experiences in which you’ve aligned your perspective with that of another.  Perhaps, you’ve been at a concert and felt like it was you onstage letting the melodies overtake you.  Maybe, a family member had been emotionally hurt to a degree that it felt like it was happening to you.

On the flip side, you’ve had times when you were so locked inside yourself that extremely intense events and experiences happened to others which didn’t affect you in the slightest.  Ever watch the news?

This demonstrates that you’ve always had the powerful choice to step outside of your personal cage or remain “safe” within its protective walls.  One must wonder that if the power exists to step outside your personal cage to any degree, than how far from that personal cage can one travel?

This piece is being written from a single perspective to illustrate the fluid nature of single perspectives.  The totality of all that exists (God) is limitless beyond comprehension.  This is not recognized when the door to the cage of perspective is closed.  It is possible for one to spend a lifetime looking for the key, without lifting the head long enough to notice that the door is open.

You feel me?

Enviro-Mental

 Going green, seeing red!

For the past few years, there’s been a barrel full of hubbub about the irreversible damage humankind is doing to our fair sister – Earth.  The old adage use to be that if you want to keep your friends, don’t talk religion or politics.  I believe it’s safe to say that we can add “the environment” to that list!  Well, take a deep breath of your air of choice, because in the words of Bob Marley:

Every little thing.....is gonna be alright.

In the late 90’s / early 2000’s, I was still in my idealistic twenties.  My very close friend, and poet supreme, Bret Duncan and I would perform spoken word at coffee shops and events, throughout the Cincinnati area.  I was full force, hell-bent on changing the world, one mind at a time.

Punk Skot

Torrents of cleverly crafted outrage would blast forth in sardonic measure, as I thumbed my nose at the bastard, offspring culture created by the establishment.  I felt, or rather thought, I was educating the masses on the horrors of slave labor camps, the meat and dairy industry, and other such evils.  My favorite sewage to sling involved pointing out that humans had become robotic, self-serving drones.  My blood boiled at the blasé, nonchalant way in which those around me viewed the atrocities of the world.  “As long as it’s not in my backyard!” seemed the prevailing mindset.

Then it happened.  I was in the woods enjoying a Rainbow Gathering (a hippy happening).  I was going off on some random corporation with environmental angst.  A guy, not much older than myself, tried to make me see the redundancies of fighting “the wrongs of the world” with massive amounts of negative energy and focus.  I was using my breath to blow out a huge fire.  This was merely feeding the flames.  I didn’t get it.  I was convinced that if I enlightened enough people, we could all blow out the fire at once.

A decade later, I get it.  Ironically, now that it’s in their own backyards, I see so many people with the intense opposition to the system that I wanted to see ten years ago.  Bret and I can still have a good chuckle about this.

As I near the forty year-old marker, it’s not that I’ve settled down.  It’s simply that I’ve turned off our cultural distractions long enough to give meditative contemplation to the forces that create personal reality.  I’ve thus far surmised that the energy we put out, via our focus of attention, shapes our lives, even on a physical, global scale.

A child will tell you that what you feed grows bigger.  Whatever it is that you want to grow bigger – feed that!  Whatever your vision of paradise on Earth, start to acknowledge it in little pieces.  Springtime is nearly upon us.  Hear the birdsongs in the morning.  Notice the variety of colored tulips.

This is not turning a blind eye toward the harsh realities of a bleak future.  This is opening our eyes to the perfection of moments that lead, one after another, through the gates of infinity!  If that sounds too mystical and flakey for you, how about:

Turn your attention toward solutions, not problems!

There, there, you’re safely back on Earth.  Now, take a deep breath of crisp, clean, fresh air, because every little thing.....is gonna be alright!

Thanks, Bret.
Thanks, hippy guy.
Thanks, Bob Marley.
Thanks, tulips!

Toltec Wisdom: Reality is the Light in Your Eye

Eye candy, everywhere!

The "reality" you see in front of you is like a large screen at the front of the movie theater.  Your mind is the projector at the back of the theater.  YOU are the star of your own movie!

Lights!  Camera!  ACTION!!!

Did someone say "lights"?  Light, my friend, bounces off everything you see.  If you've been blessed with the gift of sight, this reflected light then enters your beautiful eyes.

Remember, in school, when the science teacher showed you the illustration of the eyeball and taught that any image you see is actually upside-down at the back of your eye?  Well, your brain translates it into a "real" object, although it is nothing more than light bouncing off an energy field with centers of vibration spinning so fast that they give the illusion of appearing solid.  Heavy, man!

After reading this piece to Tonyana, she asked, "Then how come I can FEEL things?"  Yes, that does make things seem pretty real, so let me explain.  We know that light bounces off an object and enters the brain through the eyes.  Well, each of your five senses has a pathway to enter the brain.  It's the same process, just a different way to reach your brain.  The sense of touch uses the central nervous system.  Remember again, in school, that illustration of the skeleton with all that veiny-looking stuff that grossed you out with the exposed brain and no genitals.......

Anyway, light bounces off an object, and your brain translates this bouncing light into an image.  The real kicker, is that your mind has formed ideas about the image which distort the reality of what is being perceived.  The label you attach to the image you perceive actually changes the image being seen.  So, when you see a tree, are you really seeing it, or do you see the label "oak tree" that you've used over and over to put that image of light into it's proper category?  Very useful skill for survival, but what if we want to evolve past surviving to thriving?

This labeling process applies to the people around you, as well as the wo/man in the mirror.  This concept opens up a whole new 50-gallon drum of worms!  Essentially, our programming from outside influences (parents, teachers, peers, TV, government, society, etc.)  has occurred since birth, and has clouded your lens of perception.  For some of you, the light bouncing off the energy field may not be the romantic comedy you envisioned.

Just look at religion.  How many of your concepts of God are related to outside influences?  How many people do you know who have been able to shake off everything they were taught about "God" and find out the true meaning of this ineffable force?

Free your mind, and the rest will follow!  You can practice on that "oak tree".

The Toltec system of wisdom
addresses this knowledge very powerfully!

Everything is Perfect

Yeah, that too.

From a very young age, I questioned the existence of "God".  During low times, I would fall to the grass and pour my heart out to a Being that may, or may not, be there.  In silence, I have listened for "The Voice" to affirm its presence.  I waited for a sign...THE sign.  Crying over whatever lot in life gnawed at the very marrow of my soul (which now appears insignificant) I wanted a magical solution to emerge.  "God, I will believe, IF you show yourself!!!"

Now, I realize why the voice never came.  Silence WAS the reply.  No reply meant that none was needed.  In my perception, there is only one reason that my "problems" have no solutions.  THERE IS NO PROBLEM!  I had been a fish in the ocean crying out for water.

When a 14 year-old tearfully laments the barbs and snags of puppy love, how does one console that child?  We tend to disperse wisdom, yet in the grand scheme of things, we know the child is going through a brief, but painful, learning lesson.  There is no "problem".

IN RELATION TO INFINITY, how much older, or wiser, are we than lovestruck teenagers?

This Jade plant fell from the top of our fridge

and made a perfect circle!

If God is perfect,

and God is everything,

than EVERYTHING IS PERFECT!

This is the true meaning of "Heaven on Earth".

It is not a place, it is a psychological state of Being!

So, wrap your legs in lettuce

and smack them with a hot dog!!!

Let the Game Begin

Warm (in fact, tepid) regards.

I'm Skot, at least that's what others have hinted at.

The blog you are peering upon

(I can feel the peer pressure) shall:

1.  Center upon the creation of "reality".  How can anything not?
2.  Go off on tangents, like me telling you how two mornings ago I woke up, and my first thought was "I would really love to have a new pillow."  Then, I walked to my friend's house and, as I waited for him to answer the door, a truck drove by.  I turned around and saw a pillow fly from the load the truck was carrying.  I yelled, "HAAAAY!!!" (as in "Hey!), but he never came back.....for five minutes.  True story!
   
3.  Be rife with nonsense (see #6)
   
4.  Remain interesting to the point of sheer boredom
5.  Challenge your thoughts ( I think)
6.  Occasionally contain the number "6" 

This is my family after three hours of sleep:

Rooty, Skot, Tonyana

Spirituality = Feeling good.

Humor = Feeling good.

Spirituality + Humor = Feeling great!!!

A-men

(and bee-girls).
