An Ultra Right of Center Leftist Capitalistic Fascist is Born??? ...one can only hope.

It's my baby I'm talking about here. Faced with the never ending crap of the world and the never ending stream of people more than happy to pour it over your head, I think she may have seen the light!!

The Frothy Sea of the Cosmos Theory

"Imagine if you will a dimension not of sight, or sound, or time, but of mind."

That phrase is the famous opening words of the Twilight Zone. It's catchy. It's quirky, and it just might be the most insightful tagline ever on TV. Now I know it wasn't up against much competition on the idiot box, so that may not be saying much. The idea behind the phrase though...oh that idea...that idea is most definitely saying a lot...a lot of cosmic proportions.

Let's do what we were asked to do for just a moment.

Imagine a dimension. This dimension is not one of a physical world, so sight, sound, even time, have no real meaning here. It's a dimension where anything is possible and everything is. There are no stars here. No planets. No trees. No people. No molecules or even atoms. In fact, in this dimension there is only an infinite, eternal, swirling, undulating foam. A sea if you will. A frothy sea, but it doesn't stretch out with a flat surface like the seas you're used to. It doesn't even stretch out in three dimensions, but it is never ending. It is everywhere. It is everything...and everything is it.

I know, that's already getting confusing. That's ok though. In fact, it's expected, because we aren't just imagining any old dimension here. We aren't even REALLY imagining a dimension at all. What we are imagining is much more than just a dimension. Much more than a mere level or form of existence. What we are seeing in our mind, is in fact the ONLY dimension. The only true existence on any level, in any way, in any form. What we are seeing in our minds...is Reality.

But hold on a minute...dont go trying to wrap your thoughts around that just yet.

Reality. The only true existence. The only thing that is...the all that is...ever will be...ever was...this reality. The every day world of solid matter and Newtonian Physics. The atoms, electrons, and sub-atomic particles of Quantum Physics. The cosmic strings, black holes, and 10 dimensions of String Theory. The angels, demons, heaven, hell, and God of monotheistic religions. The gods and goddesses, elementals, and magical energies of paganistic religions. The aura, karma, and mystical cosmic energies of new age and eastern religions. Philosophies. Dreams. Everything you think you know and everything you don't know you don't. They are all part of this Reality. This reality that truly exists in only one place...your mind.

	SoulSentinal	I hope there is more to come. At this point it appears you have not even got the tip of the iceberg yet. Quote: "Reality. The only true existence. The only thing that is...the all that is...ever will be...ever was...this reality." This reality in my opinion is is unphathomable. -- This Comment was Edited for being WAY too damned long ;) -- Posted by SoulSentinal on Wednesday, June 07, 2006 at 10:59 PM

	FitterHappier	Well, finally my turn to post a comment! That other one just kept going and going and going...... Is that proper blog etiqutte? I mean, come on if you have that much crap to post, put it on your blog. Geez! Anyway...... Chris, so are you saying that you know everything you know so therefore you know everything? Or could it be that because of everything that you don't know, you know nothing. So deep........ Posted by FitterHappier on Thursday, June 08, 2006 at 9:56 PM
--------------------

	monkeybrains803	Naturally I'm saying, "I know everything I know, therefore I know everything". That's been my tagline since I was like five. But of course...I guess it would be more accurate to say, I know nothing, therefore I know everything. Because really...to say I know everything, would mean I really know nothing. Which then of course, I'm simply saying that I know everything I know, so therefore I know everything...which is true in a strict sense. For something to exist to me I have to know it...at least at some level...even if I'm not aware of it. So if everything that exist to me is something I know, then you could rightly say, that I know everything I know, therefore I know everything. See? That makes sense doesn't it? hehe Posted by monkeybrains803 on Wednesday, June 14, 2006 at 3:27 PM

	The Ultimate Awesome	so i think youre saying that all reality comes from our mind...but then that makes me wonder like how do we know what comes from our mind is real... when i dream, if i get hurt in that dream i wake up to find that im not hurt at all...so then...what was my dream? to most people the dream i had wasnt reality because what happened in the dream did not continue after i woke up...but yet a dream comes from my mind, so it must be reality i wonder if there are different types of dimensions...reality being what we live in everyday consciously...and non-reality being our dreams and things we cannot see or possibly detect, but exist i saw a little bit about the string theory on GPBS or whatever that station is called and the part that interested me most was the matrix theory...the matrix theory predicts that there are 11 Dimensions sorry to quote wiki but :) "Matrix Theory M-theory predicts the existence of eleven dimensions. One of these known dimensions is time. This dimension does not relate to space in the same way as do the other three known dimensions, length, depth and height. This leads to the hypothesis that the other seven less known dimensions could be related to the known four dimensions in other non-spatial ways also. Previously, string theorists suggested that these other seven dimensions were tightly compressed to account for the way they are not observable within space. But using time as an analogy allows us to perceive that these other dimensions could be powerful expansive dimensions that are woven to the physical fabric or matrix of the universe in other unseen ways" im sure those things wont matter much to us in the long run...but you never know...im a big fan of weird stuff happening :) i dont know if i sound stupid or not lol...i mean, i did make a D+ in physics..i suck at science Posted by The Ultimate Awesome on Wednesday, June 14, 2006 at 2:43 PM
--------------------

	monkeybrains803	Doesn't sound stupid to me! Of course I did make a D in Physics myself. But that wasn't my fault. Like I told Mrs. Stuabbs over and over, "I like the theory, but the math just isn't right. You can't expect me to be able to do math that is just wrong." I kicked butt on the theory. Knew it before she ever had a chance to explain it, but the math. Well...it was just flawed. Not much I could do about that. Now dreams, I think they could be exactly what you're saying there. They could also be windows on another dimension, they could be memories accessed from some place we've stored them out in the cosmos. Or they could even be something as odd as mini-cosmos created spontaneously in our minds as we sleep that pop into existence and then fade away as we wake. When it comes right down to it, even though others may not usually experience them with us, the fact that they exist in our mind technically makes them just as real as the shared reality of experience we have in our normal physical plane of existence. I like dreams. There is nothing cooler than learning to control your dreams. Waking up inside a dream and being able to bend it to your will...that's probably about as close to god-like as most of us will ever get in this stage of existence. Lucid Dreaming is what it's called and if you've never done it...you have to try it. If you like the Matrix Theory, you might want to read the books "Elegant Universe" or "The Holographic Theory of the Universe". Also you might want to watch this, but it's like an hour and half long and you really need to watch it when you won't be interupted or bothered. I can't say all of it works for me, but it's awful close to my view of things in a lot of ways. Posted by monkeybrains803 on Wednesday, June 14, 2006 at 3:22 PM

	FitterHappier	My Theory My theory on time is..... well, a little difficult to explain. I believe that time is not made up in layers (imagine building a wall with legos) where one layer is put down and then another on top of it, and then another. I believe that time is more like a combination of a huge rubberband and a never ending ball of yarn. The rubberband does not have a begining or an end, but it is one continuous loop. It can stretch and shorten, twist, and overlap itself to suit its present use. Now imagine this huge rubberband being wrapped up like a ball of yarn, no specific pattern, just around and around and around...overlapping itself in random places each time it goes around. This is how I believe that seeing a ghost (or spirit or whatever you wish to call it) is possible. If I'm in 2006, and this ghost is from 1914 then how can we be in the same place at the same time? Because my place on the rubberband and his place on the rubberband have overlapped. Sometimes this may last for awhile, and sometimes it may only last a second or two, as the different places slide past each other as the band is being twisted. But who twists and stretches the band? That's where religion comes in....... and that's when this simple theory gets a bit complicated. I guess, now I have to follow in shadoe & monkey's footsteps and post more about it on my blog!

On Dreams... Dreams are indeed a part of reality, just as a fictional TV show is. Even though they are not a physical thing that you can hold and move and touch, they are still relevant to reality. As we've discussed above, not all of reality is a concrete thing that you can see or touch. Anything that you or I or the billions of other people in the world have ever thought or ever will think becomes a part of reality. Now back to the dreams: Just because it hasn't happened in the present, doesn't mean that it didn't happen in the past, or won't happen in the future. If you believe in reincarnation (and I do), then couldn't dreams be a way to look into your soul's past or even a preview into the future? Could they serve as a warning of actions and consequences in this life? Here's the "BIG ONE"... Or because they don't take place in this dimension (plane or whatever) could they be a way for us to think and do in a totally different way than is possible when we're awake? Does this mean that all of life's mysteries could be answered in our dreams? Maybe. The important thing to remember when discussing these type of things is, to think about it for yourself. Believe what YOU believe. Be opened minded and if you get "stumped" on a particular part, ask someone. There are plenty of people out there that are willing to share their ideas. Above all, trust your gut feeling and never be afraid to "call bullshit" (in your own mind, so as not to be rude) when you just don't think that something you're hearing is right for you.

"Evil Abstinence"?

So say there are higher beings than us. Be that those of us who have passed on. Those of us who are simply not in physical form at the moment. Those of us who have ascended. Or perhaps just beings which operate on a higher level than we do. Whether we call these things: Angels and Demons. Good and Evil gods. Elementals. Spirits. It doesn't matter.

Lets assume for a minute they are there.

If they do exist. Then would it not also make sense, assuming they have free will to do as they please, that some might choose to do negative things? It seems that for balance to be, there must be a negatively aligned being for each positively. Assuming that holds true

Then do we really want to be going around calling on them? Raising them? Conjuring them? Because whether we call them angles/demons, gods, elementals, or simply see them as a reflection of a particular aspect of our inner selves...it doesnt really matter. If they are actual beings and they decide to lead us in the wrong direction. Cause us harm. Just screw with us. That's a bad thing. A dangerous thing. Or perhaps they just don't like meat sacks and like to fuck us over every chance they get.

Taking the perspective that its possible, since the universe is infinite, that this COULD be the case. Wouldn't it make sense to at least educate those who deal in such realms to the possibility and teach them to protect themselves from such things. To actively act against such things?

Now that's what I'm saying when I say, Dont you think that they could at least exist and should be explained in Wicca?

The proceeding is from an IM chat I had with Shadoe earlier today. We were discussing my view that mainstream Wiccan practitioners don't seem to take the negative, or evil, side of the cosmos seriously. In fact, from the literature Ive read and the blogs Ive perused online, they don't even seem to acknowledge that it exists.

If it were one or two, I would say they were just fluffy bunnies and didn't know any better. The sheer number of sites and books spouting the same light and happiness happy happy butterfly view of Wicca and Witchcraft however seem to point to something more institutionalized than fringe.

While Shadoe was quick to point out that true Wicca does acknowledge the darker side of our wonderful little cosmos, she didn't allay my fears of tweenie witches conjuring spirits to help hold the rollers in place before their big junior prom night. Which leads me to ask

Does mainstream Wicca practice Evil Abstinence?

We all make fun of the Christian parents who sit little Jeremy and Sara down and say, Sex is to be left for marriage. God said so. So you should save it for marriage because it is bad not to do so. Then cry and scream and blame the world for the swelling in their daughters belly six months after they gave this little pep talk in place of signing the permission form for Sara to take part in Sex Ed classes at the local middle school.

Is mainstream Wiccan literature doing any different for its newbies?

To simply say, You should always do things in a positive way because the Rede says so? Or drum the golden rule into a newbies head. Or worse yet, to simply pretend the dark side doesn't exist, and expect that alone to protect the newcomer or child from evil energies, is preposterous, short sided, naive...hell it's a down right Christian thing to do.

We are all human. Telling someone NOT to do something is only going to make them want to do it more. Telling someone its bad and forbidden is going to make them itch just for a taste. You just cant expect any different. As long as we are in Human form, we are still in fact Human. Stupid is as Stupid does...and Humans...we're a pretty stupid lot.

So why don't mainstream books and sites and leaders include more about the dark side of the cosmos? Why don't they push their initiates and newbies to learn to defend themselves actively against such dangerous forces? Is it because, like the doe eyed Christian parent they simply think saying, don't will make someone not? In some cases, maybe. But I don't think it can be denied, that in many its simply a matter of economics.

A religion or practice devoid of any negativity is bound to sell better and be more attractive to a greater number of people. The more people who are attracted, the more books are sold. The more books sold, the more money is made.

As bad as it sounds...and as many hexes as are sure to come my way...when it comes right down to it, the thing that causes many mainstream Wiccan not to acknowledge the evil forces of the cosmos may just be the very root of it all...Money.

Money. You simply cant get more Christian than that.

If they aren't caving in, they're getting hit by trains

We're looking for a new house.

So we thought we'd found a good buy in Warrenville. Made an offer. Signed a Contract. Had the Inspector come out and...the floors are falling in.

Went back to the looking again.

Found another house. Even better than the first one. Loved it. Had pretty much decided to make an offer on it. But there was this one little nagging thing...it is in Graniteville. Graniteville of course being the site of the train wreck and chlorine spill about a year and a half ago. So I decided to do a little online investigating to see if there had been any further reports of damage etc to the homes in the area.

I type "graniteville sc train wreck home damage" into the google. The first link I click on has this nice big aerial photo of the train wreck. The picture still shows the piled up train cars with corrosive chlorine gas spewing out and sliding across the ground toward some homes in the lower right of the...

...oh son-of-a-bitch!

Guess which little house I see right down there in the bottom right of the photo. It's the little gray house just to the left of the date caption on the photo above.

So I don't know. I just can't bring myself to buy a home, no matter how good it looks, or how many inspections it passes, knowing it was so close to the wreck it actually made it into the stock photo which will forever be associated with a disaster.

Here we go again.

	FitterHappier	Well babe, I guess it's better to find out now than later in both cases, right? Oh and by the way, this is the proper spelling "Graniteville." You left out the first e a couple of times. Look at the end of the word- "eville." Kind of makes me think of how a British villan would say "evil." Maybe it's a sign.
