In the moral universe all activities, events, and entities are related, and consequently it does not matter what kind of existence an entity enjoys, for the responsibility is always there for it to participate in the continuing creation of reality.

We want to have certain benefits from the physical world. In seeking something for ourselves, we must recognize that obtaining what we want at the expense of other forms of life or of the Earth itself is short-sighted and disrupts the balance which the whole fabric of life requires. Instead of the predatory jungle which the Anglo-Saxon imagination conjures up to analogize life, in which the most powerful swallows up the weak and unprotected, life is better understood as a tapestry or symphony in which each player has a specific part or role to play.

We must be in our proper place and we must play our role at the appropriate moment. Mutual respect in many ways is a function of a strong sense of personal and communal identity, and it is significant that most of the tribes described themselves as “the people”, a distinct group with clearly defined values and patterns of behavior.

Unlike Western religion and philosophy, the fact that man had been the final product of the purposeful life force did not make him the crown of creation. Coming last, humans beings were the “younger brothers” of the other life forms and therefore had to learn everything from these creatures.

The real interest of the old Indians was not to discover the abstract structure of physical reality but rather to find the proper road along which, for the duration of a person’s life, individuals were supposed to walk.

A man is as alive as he can communicate,” L. Ron Hubbard wrote. And communication is a facet of life which he explored very deeply indeed, ultimately writing hundreds of thousands of words about this vital subject. Communication skills are essential in any sphere of human interaction. In fact, when all is said and done, on whatever level, communication is the sole activity all people share.

The benefits of effective communication are too numerous to list, for they enhance all aspects of life from the personal to the professional. The ability to communicate is vital to the success of any endeavor.

In this course you will learn what good communication consists of and how to recognize the bad, what the component parts of communication are and how to utilize them, and why more communication, not less, brings the individual greater freedom.

Also included in this course are numerous drills that Mr. Hubbard developed which improve one’s communication level and have great practical application to life. A thorough understanding of this data will provide you with tools you can use forever.

MindBottle: Scientology

mindbottle:

Scientology beliefs revolve around the thetan, the individualized expression of the cosmic source, or life force, named after the Greek letter theta (θ). The thetan is the true identity of a person – an intrinsically good, omniscient, non-material core capable of unlimited creativity.

In the primordial past, thetans brought the material universe into being largely for their own pleasure. The universe has no independent reality, but derives its apparent reality from the fact that most thetans agree it exists. Thetans fell from grace when they began to identify with their creation, rather than their original state of spiritual purity. Eventually they lost their memory of their true nature, along with the associated spiritual and creative powers. As a result, thetans came to think of themselves as nothing but embodied beings.

true dat.

The quest is to be liberated from the negative, which is really our own will to nothingness. And once having said yes to the instant, the affirmation is contagious. It bursts into a chain of affirmations that knows no limit. To say yes to one instant… is to say yes to all of existence.

Our lives are not as limited as we think they are; the world is a wonderfully weird place; consensual reality is significantly flawed; no institution can be trusted, but love does work; all things are possible; and we all could be happy and fulfilled if we only had the guts to be truly free and the wisdom to shrink our egos and quit taking ourselves so damn seriously.

‘You a dreamer?’ ‘Yeah.’ ‘I haven’t seen too many of you around lately. Things have been tough lately for dreamers. They say dreaming’s dead, that no one does it anymore. It’s not dead. It’s just that it’s been forgotten. Removed from our language. Nobody teaches it, so no one knows it exists. The dreamer is banished to obscurity. I’m trying to change all that, and I hope you are too. By dreaming every day. Dreaming with our hands and dreaming with our minds. Our planet is facing the greatest problems it’s ever faced. Ever. So whatever you do, don’t be bored. This is absolutely the most exciting time we could have possibly hoped to be alive. And things are just starting.’

I believe in everything until it’s disproved. So I believe in fairies, the myths, dragons. It all exists, even if it’s in your mind. Who’s to say that dreams and nightmares aren’t as real as the here and now?

paradigm shift: θ THETA,

memento-es-infinita:

θ THETA,

1. Theta is thought, life force, élan vital, the spirit, the soul, or any other of the numerous definitions it has had for some thousands of years. 

2. The life force, life energy, divine energy, élan vital, or by any other name, the energy peculiar to life which acts upon material in the physical universe and animates it, mobilizes it and changed it. It is susceptable to alteration in character and vibration, at which time it becomes enturbulated theta or entheta. 

3. Theta is thought, an energy of its own universe analogous to energy in the physical universe but only occasionally paralleling electromagnetic-gravity laws. The three primary components of theta are affinity, reality and communication. 

4. Reason, serenity, stability, happiness, cheerful emotion, persistence, and other factors which man ordinarily considers desirable. 

5. An energy existing seperate and distinct from the physical universe. 

6. Greek for thought or life or the spirit. 

7. Not a nothingless. It just happens to be an exterior thing to this universe- so you couldnt talk about it in this universe’s terms.

Once you have started seeing the beauty of life, ugliness starts disappearing. If you start looking at life with joy, sadness starts disappearing. You cannot have heaven and hell together, you can have only one. It is your choice.
