Who Hijacked Reality / #681 The process of the universe…

Journal Entry #681

August 8th, 2012

More so than not I am saying the same basic message at its core. I am trying as many ways as I can to get this across for discussion for verification and to just put it out there. I have come to the conclusion that this is the foundation and all else will flow from this in life, in our understanding and in the universe itself.

There is a process to life, a flow or the truth that to the best of our knowledge cannot be denied but understood and followed. We may not like it or understand most of it but that will not change it but only be part of it.

Recognition of this process as I call it;

The process of life, the flow cannot be denied.

Embrace it as it will take you places you have only dreamt of, only imagined and thought you would never experience.

Gary David Currie

 

Simplicity is the key to understanding… Understanding is the path to enjoying the process; the process is what we all must follow…

Gary David Currie

Now what that process involves is the journey of discovery but there are some very blatant things that we simply cannot deny and live to talk about. These are the obvious rules in the universe that our ancient ancestors acknowledged but probably did not understand.

All I do is point out the ones I discover and acknowledge and that others have as well while the vast majority of humanity denies them. It doesn’t really matter if they do or not again it will be part of the process.

Now I am not going to get into what the process entails at this time as it is vital to agree that the process exists before trying to understand it… Most will deny this as well. This simply is insanity, delusional and at best silly to engage in but humanity excels at these traits.

As I have said you are either all in or all out.. One foot in the water must lead to a choice of going in or getting out.

Denial of reality or the process causes the vast majority of our misery, our pain and our suffering. When we acknowledge the process we stand a better chance at happiness, less suffering and less pain. Why we continue to bring this upon ourselves is incredibly stupid.

So you will understand what I am referring to I will offer some examples and this will lead to the discussion on free will at some point.

We are bound by the rules of the universe. It is these rules that allow us to exist.

I will make it relatable;

We must eat, we must drink and we must sleep. We will grow old if we are lucky enough to be born and we will die at some point along the way. We are bound by these basic rules.

Nature will do as it will and pretending it will not do as it will, will not change it at all.

Now apply this to the rest of the universe….

The process will happen so I suggest you recognize it and your self induced fears will lessen, you self induced anger will lessen and you will recognize what life has to offer.

The universe will always seek balance

Once this is accepted the discussion is about figuring out these rules and how we fit into the process.

Seek the truth always

Who Hijacked Reality / #652 One of the most ignorant quotes I have ever seen by Dusty Smith and I call bullshit on it.

Tuesday, May 29th, 2012

Journal Entry #652

May 28th, 2012 

Here is the quote and the person who said it. Now I have no problem with Dusty beyond this quote and I am strictly addressing this particular quote. I will link his website so you can see anything else he has written and made. Dusty is more than welcome to respond if he feels the need as I support his right to free speech and his views on life.

It pisses me off to no end when people say dumb shit like this but try and make it sound intelligent. This thought is truly not thought thru and leaves out so much that eludes to and I will address this as well as counter the stupidity disguised as intelligence in this quote.

“Nobody can “break your heart”. All that has happened is that the person who used to make your brain release pleasurable chemicals is no longer doing so and your brain is drug deprived. That person is not the only one capable of making your brain release those chemicals. Replace them and move on.”

Dusty Smith

http://www.cultofdusty.com

Now let us break this down and respond;

“Nobody can “break your heart”.

No shit it is a figure of speech representing an emotional connection that you have with another person.

 All that has happened is that the person who used to make your brain release pleasurable chemicals is no longer doing so and your brain is drug deprived.

I will agree with this but here is where we start to see problems. That is not all that has happened unless we are talking about a one night stand but of course this will not lead to heartbreak. You have now invested more than just a few chemical dependencies with this other person and based on the time frame that connection will deepen. When the connection is broken we know have many other chemicals released due to the feelings of betrayal rejection and other emotions beyond the feeling that love bring and I will go into this more later. SO really that is not all that has happened at all.

So if nobody can break your heart and it is completely up to you how you feel and what emotions you allow then when Dusty says that person who used to make your brain release chemicals is not true at all as you are the one who released those chemicals although it will be based on interaction with this other person., so a bit of a contradiction here.

That person is not the only one capable of making your brain release those chemicals.

That person did not do it at all you did it. So really you are the only one capable of releasing your chemicals as it is your choice.

Replace them and move on.”

Now this is the part that really pisses me off;

Replace them and move on, said as if it was easy as pie. You can never replace them as the relationship you had with them will be completely different than any other relationship. Now if we add to the mix children and all the other ripples that are created from this one relationship replacing them will be impossible. Of course if they are
not willing to be with you can’t force them but the process to move on will be intense as there is so much more involved than a few chemical reactions of pleasure as now we have so many other chemical reactions to deal with that are not pleasurable and they must be dealt with before one can feel pleasure again from another.

The ease at which Dusty eludes in doing this is ignorant.

 

Can you so easily replace a mother or a father of your children and now you must deal with children if you have any from this relationship. You relationship becomes so much more than a few chemical reactions as it becomes your identity, your life and the reason you live. You are a family and this can never be replaced so moving on is not just moving on as so many seem to think it is  when they tell others to just move on.

You have to go through the process of grieve the 5 steps of denial, bargaining, anger depression and acceptance as you are dealing with a loss in your life. This process will not be easy if you have any type of deep connection with this person and that is what your heart feels broken. You emotions have been twisted and turned around and this is no easy fix. Many do not get past the stages of grieve and stay in anger or denial and other combinations of these so replacing them and moving on is not an easy task in fact you will never replace them but you can move on with time.

Also along with this heartbreak will often com with physical and financial difficulties as well as the emotional component forcing one to completely start again and re-examine their life. Friends are often part of the couple and this all changes as well.

So it is not just a life that is affected but many life’s and their chemical reactions as well.

If we look at this from the point of view as a drug addict going cold turkey on their drug how can they replace this particular drug and why would they want to? They will have to go through the withdrawals and then deal with what happened before they can get off the drug or else they are just trading one addiction with another.

So it is not just replace them and move on at all and this is the ignorant part.  Id we want to break IT down to chemical reactions then we now have a huge mine field to get through as we know very little about the chemicals involved and their reactions with our emotions. So to try and equate this to science at this point is just a really bad guess. Hence the mixing of intelligence with stupidity in other words trying to sound smart when the smart person would not have said this at all. A little bit of information in
this case is a dangerous cocktail of ignorance.

I call complete bullshit on this quote by Dusty and if Dusty has broken up from a long-term relationship of say 25 years I doubt he would be saying this at all. I am sure the kids would love to hear that they are all part of a chemical reaction that can easily be replaced. I could be wrong and maybe he has and this is how he handled it but if he did he is in denial.

Breaking our lives down to be drugged or drug deprived is stupid as we know so little about the drugs that are our emotions. If he was following science as he eludes to he
would admit he knows very little on this one and would see the ignorance in his quote..

Moving on is a very difficult task and that person can never be replaced and that is reality.

Who Hijacked Reality / #649 I am just the messenger but many make me the devil they need when they don’t like the message..

Sunday, May 20th, 2012

Journal Entry #649

May 20th, 2012

Gary David Currie

“I am just the messenger. The universe sets the rules and I try and understand it but people always like to shoot the messenger.”

We all have a unique way of looking at life, our world view as it will be specific to each of us. There will be commonalities if we want there to be and this is how we function in what we deem reality by finding those commonalities but there will be those who see things far different from others, who see the rules of the universe we live in that others do not see. I am not saying I am one of those and I am not saying I am not I am just saying what I see and sharing it with those who want to listen.

I do not force others to see what I see or tell them what to do I just offer my thoughts and world view as I am just a messenger.

It appears that many like to shoot the messenger if they don’t like the message and especially if they feel threatened by the message which they often do. They will take it as a personal rejection of their message and their fears will take over.

I can only talk about my experinces in this and I have been made the devil by many including people I deeply loved. I am not one who is willing to just stand by and not speak out in life on what I see. If I feel I have something to offer I will offer it as to keep it to myself for me accomplishes nothing.

I then become whatever label and demon they need at the moment if they are threatened. No matter what I say they will find a way to demonize me and you may be doing this now. This makes no sense as I cannot control what they think or how they see the world only they can and why even respond or read what I have to say if you do not want to hear it.

If I made the rules in life and you did not like them that may be good reason to challenge me to this point but I do not.

Here is something worthy to think about. If you feel that threatened then maybe what you believe in the first place is not the truth and you know it but are afraid to acknowledge it. Maybe you are letting your fears guide you and are running from them which is never a good thing in my opinion.

You will see me and others how you want to see them but is it how they truly are?

This may sound like a pity party for me and so be it but I do get tired at times of being the devil for others. I realize this will be part of the process if I speak out but to me it just seems like a waste of the precious time we have here to be so afraid of things in life that are not worthy of your fear.

Life is conflict simple as that but how we handle this conflict is the important part. If we only react instead of acting then we will always be defending instead of dealing with the conflict moving towards a positive outcome.

 

An example; I was in a group where I was invited. I told them I would not follow their rules as they limited the discussion to me but this did not mean I would not be respectful. I told them eventually they would not like what I said and probably want to kick me out. They did and then talked about me when I could not respond. So I messaged the main person who has a huge problem with me…

The discussion that followed as an example. It is a bit lengthy as I really must have touched a nerve with him. Also this original discussion was based on my definition of truth which they posted to refute and then did not like my rebuttals.

 

Gary David Currie……….so easy to talk about someone who is not there to defend themselves. You are a piece of work Simon.

 

Simon McWaters…………After the amount of disruption that you caused to the forum, it is desirable to go through your many self-aggrandising posts and provide links to the original thread where you caused problems, so that no-one will be deceived by your false allegations that you had been victimised.

I’ve no doubt you are crying to the world that you have been unfairly discriminated against in every other forum you have access to, Gary, but tell me this: do you provide links to the thread on which your behaviour was so poor as to get you expelled?

Just in case you do have a shred of intellectual integrity, here is the link for you to provide, so people can see the evidence and judge for themselves whether your claims are justified.

 https://www.facebook.com/groups/onemankind/permalink/324346880968246

ONEMANKIND

Onemankind is a forum devoted to discussion of issues of politics, religion, economics and anything else, that are of concern to all humans. New members are requested to
browse through the Rules of E…..

 

Gary David Currie……………Actually I put it out for all to make their own judgements Simon. I don’t really care as this is just an exercise in free speech and group dynamics. People will see what they want to see Simon as both you and I do.. Do as you will. Disruption is part of life and how we deal with it is the measure of our integrity.

it is only disruption because you were not able to handle it with the integrity you expect from others…

 I hide nothing and was upfront on who I am..

 Bottom line you acted like a child thinking you were the adult…

 I am the gadfly you could not handle…

 

Simon McWaters….

“I don’t really care as this is just an exercise in free speech and group dynamics”

Would that would explain why you are pursuing the subject so obsessively with me then?

I am only responding because I want you to see the reality of your behaviour, instead of the mythological version you have constructed in your own mind, a narrative in which you are some kind of hero.

The kind of ‘free speech’ you indulged yourself in has added nothing and subtracted much from the value of the forum. You simply refused to engage with reasonable objections to your definition, and had a tantrum when some substantive response was demanded.

You seem to have a delusional belief that you actually *did* respond, but I’d like you to go over the thread again. Actually look for where you provided a response to my
pointing out of the contradictions in your definition. Try to find a quote from yourself that I did not point out obvious problems with.

I know I’ve asked you to do this many times already, but actually *do* it. It’s the only way for you to realise the truth, and perhaps learn something about yourself that could
lead to personal development.

“Disruption is part of life and how we deal with it is the measure of our integrity.”

Indeed; people with integrity act to stop the disruption; those who lack it allow the disruption to continue – or contribute to it.

Of course, that relies on the assumption that the people involved have similar goals. My goal is reasonable discussion, leading to factually and logically sound conclusions,
and that goal is shared by the Onemankind forum, as embodied in the ‘Rules of Engagement’.

As you have just admitted, reasonable discussion was not your goal; it was “just an exercise in free speech and group dynamics”. Because you were uninterested in a reasonable discussion, you were disruptive to the goals of the Onemankind forum. You only wanted to prove that any restriction on free speech was unnecessary – but in fact proved the opposite.

Your efforts to ‘trash’ the forum were deliberately disruptive – and they failed, precisely because of the application of the ‘Rules of Engagement’. You have only proved that the Rules have served their purpose; a person who was uninterested in reasonable discussion, who added nothing of value, and who subtracted much of value, was removed from the forum, thus increasing its quality.

“it is only disruption because you were not able to handle it with the integrity you expect from others”

What I expect from others is reasonable discussion. You failed to show this quality, repeatedly acting in such a way as to block or divert the progress of the discussion, and were therefore expelled.

I gave you alternatives: move on to another point, provide quotes of your claimed responses, provide some new response, or admit a flaw in your ‘definition’. You took none of these reasonable routes, instead throwing a disruptive tantrum, and continuing with your histrionic self-aggrandising irrelevant posts.

On the agreement of all the Admins, you were expelled, as you had refused to add anything positive, and were adding much that was negative.

At no point did I behave unreasonably, and you have failed to provide any evidence that I did so. Continuing these claims only reinforces the conclusion that you are not
interested in reasonable discussion, only with supporting your erroneously inflated ego.

“you acted like a child thinking you were the adult.”

More claims without a shed of evidence to support them. I asked you repeatedly to show such evidence, and you failed to do so – obviously because such evidence does not exist.

“I am the gadfly you could not handle”

You have delusions of grandeur that your character and intellect are incapable of supporting.

 

Gary David Currie……..Don’t we all…..

 

For someone to take this much time out of their life to tell me all the things he has I will say they must have felt very threatened.

I see it time and time again as I just offer my thoughts and the reactions will either be defensive which will lead to attacks and labeling me their devil or people will be open to listen.

When they are attacks it certainly can be painful if it is someone you truly care about but nevertheless it will still be the same process.

It will all be based on their fears……

Who Hijacked Reality / #628 Chasing

Tuesday, December 13th, 2011

 

 

Journal Entry #628

December 13th, 2011

Life sure can be interesting, it can be full of joy or full of sorrow, full of pain or full of happiness, full of excitement or full of dullness, sometimes we make the choices and sometimes the choices are made for us.

On my personal journey and that really is what my blog is all about, my experinces and how I  see the world, how I see life and how I grow and learn there are many small realizations along the way and sometimes huge ones. I would not say I have had at anytime that epiphany moment and I do look forward to that someday but I have had those many little moments. The important thing I realized long ago is that I needed to be open to them and I do believe I am.

One of these realizations is to find that balance between chasing want you desire and knowing when to stop. As long as you keep chasing someone they will keep running. There is a difference between being with someone and chasing them. There is a difference between trying to get out your ideas and forcing them onto people. Advertisers have figured this out a long time ago and I would say the best at it are those who peddle drugs as they get you hooked and then you are chasing them.

I think life is really simple and they we tend to complicate it which in turn kind of makes it seem a little crazy. We really know what we want but the problem is that what we want in the moment always changes. Just when we think we have it all figured out boom the next moment presents a left turn. That is what makes life exciting those left turns.

If you have something that is worthy, that is based on truth I do believe people will seek it out. Sometimes you have to chase others a little just to get the idea out but then you have to back off or they will not value it. Once they are hooked they will chase the idea and it is then the process of equilibrium can be worked out.

No magical formula for any of this just a moment by moment adjustment in our lives.

This is all part of the process of seeking the truth on any matter and if one is willing to do this, to be open to the changes and process that life offers they will be amazed at what life has in store.

I personally believe at this moment I have found this balance in regards to who and what I should chase, when to stop and why. Of course this may change but for now I will go with the realization. It seem to be all about letting go and doing the things you love because they are the things you love to do. Sure I hope my music and anything I do artistically is a success and I think I do everything within my power to bring this to light but at this point i just need to relax on it and other things in my life and while I have hopes as  to how they will turn out I must also enjoy the moments I have without them. Very hard to do to let go  on anything but once one accepts that they
really are holding onto to an illusion in the first place as control does not exist then the chances improve.

You never know who is watching from the sidelines and what they will bring to your journey.

I wrote this the other day and I think it offers great value.

“I will see you.”

Who Hijacked Reality / #622 The choices we make….

Friday, December 2nd, 2011

 

 

Journal Entry #622

December 2nd, 2011

Each day we all make many choices and sometimes we realize the consequences and sometimes we don’t but I do believe we will always do what we feel is best for us at that moment.

I believe we are limited in our choices as we have no control over what others do and what the natural world will do so we are confined within our view of the universe, of the planet and of the world that we surround our self with.

Delaying a choice is still a choice and once one realizes this it becomes easier to make choices that will have a better chance at positive results than negative. Often choices we make will decide the choices others must make and then they now must decide their options based on their inability to choose for others.

Life certainly seems complicated at times but if I can break it down I may offer to you that it really is simple. A problem or dilemma at times may seem overwhelming at times but if you are able to see the core or foundational choice that will determine either a problem being solved or continuing to be a problem then that will be the choice you make. From there you make choices in that direction.

This is what I see as the hard part for many; they do not see reality in the situation and if you are trying to include unrealistic options the choice will have unrealistic results.

Each problem we face is dealt with this system; At times we may bypass some steps very quickly but this will be the thought process. We may bounce back and forth between these steps or we may never get to the final step which will not allow the problem to be solved but nevertheless this will be the process. You can acknowledge this process which will give you a better chance at solving the problem or you can deny it and the problem will not be solved, your choice.

The 5 stages; Denial, Anger, Bargaining, Depression and Acceptance

http://grief.com/the-five-stages-of-grief

Now these stages are usually associated with loss and death but I do believe they have a much wider application and are vital in most problem solving. I must point as the article does that the stage of acceptance does not preclude everything being rosy and peachy it allows one to reach a stage where they can realistically deal with the problem and find a solution that will help them move on to the next daily event in life without carrying the weight of the previous problem. No matter what it is, no matter how big or how small this process is vital.

No one escapes this process, no matter how strong or confident you think you are we will all go through this and to recognize this as valid is a great start to a healthy mind which leads to a healthy life.

So realistically we need to get to a stage where we realize what we can control, what we have influence over and what we do not. This has been offered in many different ways from many different cultures in the form of prayer, affirmations and just general wisdom and to deny this process is unrealistic and the first part of the process.

Find those that can guide you, help you and have your best interests at heart and this will help you get through the process and onto the next stage of your life.

Personally I try and be as realistic and rational as possible and when faced with problems I acknowledge this process as true and do my very best to work my way through it.

Life is not fair, we do not always get what we want in fact I would say most of the time we don’t but the idea is to find the best possible happiness. How you do this will be your journey and how I do it will be mine I just hope we all have a great journey along the way.

So think about your choices carefully and the consequences of that choice both negative and positive before you make it but remember once a choice is made it cannot be unmade.
