The Power of Perception

The thing that gives light to world, and that light, but with that thing that gives light, we lose the ability to see the world objectively, which means we lose the ability to see the Reality of the world, and yet without the light, we can't see the world at all, we can't love, we can't think, and have no self identity without this thing that gives light, well..what is this thing? its what we call our perception. With this amazing ability to perceive, we can see a world of our own within the worlds we travel and reside, its the one stable world that goes with us where ever we go, because its not really a world at all, its just the way we see whatever world we're in, but it make whatever world we are in different from everyone else there, for instance; You are looking into your lover's eyes, while she/he is, in that exact moment, looking into yours, now not only is there entire earth moon and sun 'existent' in your world, or New York City,or your mother, or anything other than a small segment of sand on a beach, and the sound of waves crashing ocean, and ofcourse your lovers face, but actually, neither does you, well other than your hands maybe, because you are trapped by your five senses, you know that there is more to the world than what you see, but you actually can't ever really verify that, not only do you see the world in a subjective way, but you also don't even see, hear, smell, taste, or feel, almost any of it, you are contained to an incredibly small spec of the actuality it. This may sound very restricting, but within the limitations of your perception, you, in some ways, see way more of the world than you could have ever imagined.

Within your perception at any given time, you have thoughts, within those thoughts are opinions, and within those opinions are complex emotions, that may or may not have derived from your current state of being, and are composed of smaller more subtle thoughts, that combine with basic emotions, within those subtle thoughts, and basic emotions, are fragmented thoughts, and the essence of your being, within the fragmented thoughts, and the essence of your being, is your subconscious mind, and your third eye (the pineal gland), and within your subconscious mind and third eye is your passive hyper perception of still memories and super fragmented thoughts, spiritual baseline (your true nature), and the perception of your third eye (what your third eye perceives). This actually goes alot deeper, the human perception is one of the amazing things in existence that we know of. And can be used to do the unthinkable. things like thoughts, ideas, emotions, states of being, these are the tools we as human beings use to exercise our freewill, for without a way of looking at the world, there is no way (In my theory of perception) to make choices. This is because the components of a choice are mostly: Emotions, State of Being, Current and Previous thoughts, predictions, opinions, believes, values, morals, and ethics, which all lie within the perception of the individual, without all of these ingredients for the choice, how can a choice be made? and if you cannot make a choice, then you don't really have any freewill. but what really makes having a perception special other than that?

Well there are actually two things in the general human perception that if you really think about just the fact that we can perceive them will really make you think how we can, and these two things are; Time, and Numbers. Yes Time and numbers are two of the most complicated perceivable things there are, really think about how we can perceive either time or numbers, when they are both completely off the radar of our 5 senses. You can't see, smell, hear, taste, or touch..time and numbers, so then..how can we perceive them?. Further more, how is it that time and numbers can be applied to literally everything else we can perceive, even beyond what the 5 senses can pick up?, I believe this is because  Temporal Perception ( Perception of Time), and Numeric Perception ( Perception of Numbers), are actually both senses, just as sight, smell, taste, touch, and hearing are. There is no other way to explain the fact that we can see (most of us), other than we simply do, because it is perceivable, and call it a 'sense', so using that same reasoning, there is also no way to explain how we perceive Time or Numbers, ( even the word, perceive Time, I believe we all know on some level that its part of our perception just as smell or touch is, we just don't have a name for it, so we just say perceive ) so Temporal, and Numeric perception are actually senses, technically. So, so far, we already have 7 senses, or, tools, within are perception, to allow us to perceive more, causing the inner circle of our Perception of reality to forge together an entire world produced from a single human mind.

Understanding perception is key to things like understanding the mechanics of mental manipulation, Love, Dreams, and the other complexities that lye within this sacred realm of thoughts and ideas. For instance, I believe love to be a world of its own, largely because it is strong enough to alter the perception of reality of any given human being affected by it, just as being in another world would change your perception as well, while on the other hand,a dream, i believe is a world of its own, and we simply perceive it, although our perception in that realm is much more 'powerful' in a lucid state. The human perception is one of the most powerful phenomena in the world, with the ability to make your hands heat up and blister in cold water with the honest perception that its hot,  hypnotism, the ability to make a child's headache go away by simply yelling him or her that the tic tac was medicine, change the way you see the world by smoking a plant, or chance the way you life in the world through belief in a higher power, the power of the human perception is unimaginable,  especially in a lucid dream, making things like flying, teleportation, or even shapeshifting possible, perception is the world in which we all truly live, making things like beauty, love and freedom, a part of our existential realm.

Mental Manipulation

What makes a human great?, what makes us special, different, above all the other creatures on this planet so to speak, why are we at the top, the apex predator, the rulers of the world, why?, we have no claws, fangs, or venom, we run slow, its hard for us to climb, and our skin and bodies are frail, even the shape of our bodies makes it a miracle that we can even stand on our two feet, so then how is it that we are the world's dominant species. Well it is our minds, our brain, our thinking ability, the ability to use logical, language, mathematics, to read, to write, to build, to predict, to remember, to regret, to love, in short, our intelligence.
Yes, our amazing ability to uncover the world's most breathtaking secrets, our ability to communicate a thought, even 1000 years after our death. Our free minds can do so many truly amazing things, invent machines, cure diseases, build cities, but..what if someone decided to use this gift of super intelligence to attempt to overpower or derail the thoughts of the other beautiful minds that coexist in the human interspace? This is when you can clearly see just how much power the human mind has, even over other human minds.

We all actually do this, just usually not to the degree where it would be completely obvious, for example a simple magic trick is basically mind control, you shuffle the deck, atleast to the observer, but in reality you are using a false shuffle where all the cards are in the exact same place. You ask the observer to select a card by telling you to when to stop as you slide cards off the deck, creating the illusion that this person actually has the freedom to choose his or her card when really its just a clever card force, you already know what card it is, you preset the deck, the cards are in the same order because you never actually shuffled the cards, and now you are forcing the observer to "randomly" select the card at the top of the deck, then you actually shuffle the deck, and ask him the put the card inside of the deck anywhere he or she wants, you spread the cards out face up, and point to the observers card..wow, magic!

 The whole trick was simply a clever facade, you forced someone to think what you wanted them to think, and you wanted him or her to think about anything other than whats really going on, making them think  their card is random, that you are shuffling, that you really did pull that coin out of your mouth, deception, predictions, logical, math, human observation, psycology, distraciton, these are the tools we are able to use in order to actually (to some level) control someone elses mind, or predict what they are thinking or are going to think. Ofcourse there is never solid way to do this because human beings are such complex beings, but you can learn how to do so well it almost always works. The human mind is a series of rooms and doors, each door you open you enter into that room, that room is your present thought, but upon entering that room, you also close a door to another room, this is because we can't think about everything that is going on at once, its too much stimuli, when you coming out of a movie downtown you hear atleast 50 different conversations, but you only register the one you are in and maybe another very near you, but even then you aren't really paying attention, to control someones thoughts, all you have to do is make them open up a certain door, therefore by default closing another. " Where were you sweet heart?", "oh I was just out seeing a friend and we lost track of time" , "oh right I forgot Denise was in town, well I'm glad you had fun". A women waits till her friend is around, and 'goes out to see her friend', one would assume after the years you'd want to catch up, and you would probably stay out late, just the kind of late you would normally be accused of something harmful to your 20 year marriage. using things like, common assumptions, trust, love, higher intelligence, or beauty, you can manipulate the average human mind with ease if used right.

So, how is it done?, How does one put all this together and actually change how people think? Well there are many methods, but its really up to you, there is no real "how to" but rather " how it works". All it is is understanding how most people think, then you can play around with it, but to do this well, you need a clear goal in mind. Pay attention to clothes, hairstyle,speech, accent, body language, and the face. The face is probably the most important thing, especially the eyes, you use the eyes to tell you what the basic things you need to know to move forward 'what type of person is this' ' what does this person think of me' 'is this person comfortable with me?' ' does this person trust me?'  and ' how should I manipulate this persons mind'. First indentify how you are perceived by this person, are they afraid? attracted? repulsed? happy? this will allow you to get a relitivly good idea of how they think, and how you can manipulate their mind. Lets say this person seems attracted but is also afraid that you arent attracted to him or her, lets just call this person 'J' now lets say your objective is to get money from J, you just want 50 dollars because your broke and you like money. So you made eye contact, J is pretty attractive, but not beautiful, but J has on very nice clothes, and is well groomed, so far so good. You approach J, why? because your new in town and you thought J would know where all the best coffee shops are, yes coffee shop, because J doesn't look like the drinking type, conservative hairstyle, arms always close to the body, somewhat timid, and dresses to fit in with modern hipsters that went to private school, you want J to feel like your in the same world to a degree because J is beyond the rebellious age, but still seems to crave excitement and feel free. J smiles, makes eye contact, you decided to smile to make J more comfortable, and start a conversation, you make J laugh a few times, and bring up some relevant topics, J likes you now, J thinks your interesting, funny, and nice, J thinks you have study law, but you also want to travel the world, why? because J mentioned foreign countries 5 times in a 30 minute conversation, J also spoke very highly of lawyers, now J is comfortable with you, you also know what type of person J is, and what J thinks of you, more or less. The look on J's seems to say J wants to spend more time with you but probably has to leave soon, you don't know if J trusts you that much, but you know how to manipulate Js mind. 4/5

So you move in for the objective after 5 more minutes of leading up to " Wow, you are an amazing person and I really wish I could get your number but...(you look at your phone)" J says something like " whats wrong, you can have my number I really like talking to you"
you smile " This is really embarrassing but I just got a new job and I don't get paid for 10 days, so I cant pay my phone bill or my internet right now..I mean its not like I'm broke, I just don't have money right now, so I don't know how we could stay in contact.." J has about a 75% chance of saying " I mean..I can pay for it and you can just pay me back or something how much is it?" and you say " thank you so much, yeah I'll pay you back as soon as I get my check, whats your number let me get it down" you get J's number, J give you 50 dollars, you walk away with a big smile waving to J saying " I'll call you as soon as I can" and J smiles a waves back and maybe says " ok haha I'll be waiting". so it was 5/5 J trusted you. and you took advantage of all the knowledge you gained from observing J, to use it to make J feel sad cheated and lied to, while use the stolen money to take someone else out. The reason I told you how to trick people, is not because I want to teach people how to be evil, but rather, I want the good people who are often victims of mental manipulation to be more conscious of it, and hopefully less susceptible to this kind of trickery. even fun little magic tricks are based off of lies and mental manipulation. This is only examples of extremely small scale manipulation, so be aware.

The New Language of Organic Machines

What does it mean, to connect, or to fall in love, to truly share a moment, or simply to be in one, is communication alone enough to sustain a relationship, when do we need to actually be face to face, do we ever?, all of these questions boil down to one simple yet complex question most of us are either too afraid to ask, or simply unconcerned, what makes us different from a machine?
Yes, the perceivably easy to answer question of what makes us different from some manmade electronic piece of technology that is seemingly so different from us the question of how we are different from this inanimate thing seems pointless, we are human, we eat, we sleep, we laugh, we play, we love, we hate, we feel emotions, and think our own thoughts, we are not programmed, we have opinions, we are creative, we are everything they aren't, in every way possible. And while that is true, in many ways, in some it is not. For in this new age of technology, flashing lights, cars, music, and phones, machines are becoming a part of human life, and as a result of that, machines are becoming part of human cultures. For example, at the end of my last theory 'Robot Minds of Modern Society' I mentioned at the end, the concept of exchanging numbers, asking someone for there..number

The reason this is relevant is because, we have come to the point where it is the social norm to ask the question 'what is your number',  well, why would you ask that? probably because you want to further communicate on an electronic basis, simple to connect, to get to know each other better, to be able to communicate with this person anywhere at almost any time, through..a machine, communicating through a machine is not simply communication though, it’s not like actual communication, there is no stars to gaze upon, no sight, there is no aggressive arguing or melodic music to comment and joke about, no real sound, there is no scents of fresh roses to sniff, or apple pie somewhere nearby, there is no smell, there is no good food, or bad food, to experience because there isn’t taste, and there is no woman with bright beautiful eyes, and dark wavy hair rolling on the floor laughing at some corny joke you told, as much as you might believe there is, that girl your 'talking' to, isn’t there, there is no touch or tangibility, and on some level, we know this, ask yourself these questions, how can the woman be there, when she isn't, she is not your phone, or a text message on the screen of your phone, this is simply a facade, this is a representation of the said woman, yes these are her words, but, at the same time they aren’t for these reasons: There was too much time to think about what you say, to erase what you said, rephrase what you wanted to say, there is no voice, tone, pitch, volume, facial expressions, eye contact, body positioning, body language, blinking, sudden laughter, giggling, smiling or frowning, and there is no emotion in your words, but there are two things that help us implement our humanity into this robotic arena: Implied meaning and emotions, and " Interpreted meaning and emotions. these are often misinterpreted.

the person you think you are talking to over facebook or text, is actually the mental imagine of that person, how you perceive them, how you remember that persons voice, the words aren’t yours, but everything that goes with them is, you are almost talking to yourself. This is because you are trying to emulate reality in a cyber world, with a machine filtering out anything it cannot reproduce, the five senses, true emotion, voice, etc., so as a result of talking through a machine, you inherently, talk like a machine, and in order to talk like a machine, you therefore, have to think like a machine, filtering out everything you know you can’t translate correctly into the other language, just as you would do with any, you wouldn’t say "Hey whats good son" to your friend in Spanish because in the Spanish speaking world that sentence doesn’t really makes sense, its interpreted meaning would be extremely far from its intended meaning, so to close the gap between the intended and interpreted meaning, we as modern humans, have put together a language that makes sense in the mechanical world, you wouldn't say " Look at that guy, he gotta be crazy" to someone over a text message to someone on the other side of the world, it makes no sense.

After learning and constantly speaking this new language, and with this language being used more often, in more places, for longer times, it begins to have effects on you, you begin to speak this language in the organic, physical world. You check your facebook on the bus, you text your friend during a real conversation, you tweet what you just did, take a picture with someone you like, the worlds begin to merge, it is no longer the cyber internet machine world, and the organic natural physical world, there is the organic machine world, and we, the inhabitants of this new world, learned its new language, and are now, organic machines. You start to think in tweets, it changes your mind, it comes to the point where you won't even bother to chase an creative thought or comment unless its within 140 characters, you don’t feel like you really saw a swan unless you make a post about it on instagram, you aren’t really dating unless you update your relationship status on facebook.You are at that point, an Organic Machine.

The Sailor, The Island, and The Sea

There was once a sailor, strong, proud and confident; he longed to travel the sea, for that was in his mind, the only freedom he could ever achieve. The sea was so vast and beautiful, the blissful tune of the ever crashing waves, the captivating lure of the fresh scent of a mild salt in the air, it was only in the expansive wonders of the ocean that he could experience the harmonious sounds of the birds chirping and gliding through the blue skies up above, and the vibrantly colored untamed dancing of the seemingly limitless fluttering fish down below, and the soothing caress of the cool winds gently brushing against his skin, ah yes, the sailor loved the sea. But what he loved most about it, more than any of the amazing, phenomenal beauties and mystic wonders of the sea, was the sea itself, He loved that there was no ground below him more than all, yes, there was no ground, how much closer could one get to flying through the air like the wild free spirit of the birds zooming into the abyss of a dawn over glistening sea. He felt, alive, he felt, new...he felt..Free. And he sailed and he sailed for days upon days, upon weeks, months and years, and he loved every waking moment of it, it was bliss, it was a paradise, it was the sea.

But in his travels far and wide, across the shapeless blue he passed by many, many islands. The sailor of course stopped in these islands for food, water, shelter, and sustenance, but over the years he found that not all islands were reachable, the waves near them were sometimes too strong, too harsh, or too weak, sometimes there were rocks in the way, sometimes there were storms that prevented him from moving inland, and sometimes there were sharks, many were the obstacles in the way to achieve the sandy shores of the gorgeous beaches. Sometimes it angered the sailor, sometimes it filled him with sorrow, and sometimes, he did not mind, this was ofcourse dependant on the beauty of the Island, the food there, the animals, his mood, or his expectations. But there were just so many Islands the sailor never dwelled on one for much too long, whether he had been there or not. The sailor, after seeing so many islands, started to wonder..Why was he so fascinated by them, was the sea not enough?, the immense freedom!, the tranquility, the excitement. Why now, all of a sudden, was he to be so focused and fixated on all these beautiful islands?

The answer never really did come to him, although he did see many a fellow sailor actually abandon the sea, and go to stay on an island, going deep, deep, deep past the forest and the trees, the rivers and lakes, and all of the its fruit and animals, but to what?, and why, why would so many a fellow sailor go so deep into an island that might never be able to return to the vast and expansive freedom of the seemingly everlasting sea, so many, until almost all his fellow sailors were trapped in these islands, some beautiful, some not, some with many animals, some with few, and some with horrible fruit, but many with plenty. But for some odd reason the sailor never really questioned this too much, his father had gone to island, and his father, and so on, every settled sailor says that every free sailor must settle one day, no..will settle one day, for there is always an Island that will dazzle and draw you to it beyond your ability to stop this..is inevitable occurrence, they say, for most, though some do travel the sea long and search for the island of their dreams and have it never found, and simply settle in a decent one, but few, very few, never settle, and travel the sea there entire lives, but they, are seen as fools.

The sailor, still young, very young, felt as if, he had travelled the sea forever at a point, the freedom and excitement, had dulled a bit, the smell of salt seemed..typical, and the fish and birds, were just a part of his daily scenery, every now and then the sparkle of the sea reminded him of how amazing it was to be free, but.. it only lasted a moment or two, and then it all just felt routine again, dock at an island, spend some time there, eat, play with the animals, climb a tree, and just leave, again and again and again, all the islands, although of varying shape size and color array, with no two alike, all began to look, and even feel...the same. The islands were all dull and flavorless, and so was the sea. The sailor just floated on..and on and on, for what felt like, forever..that was, until he came across an island like no other. Yes, in that very moment, just upon the sight of it, the sheer beauty of the island had the sailor caught, he lost control, he rushed towards it, all the other islands escaped his mind, this.island, was beautiful. But then the sailor remembered having this feeling before, and didn’t pay it much mind, and his memories returned, he passed one or two other islands while getting closer, pretty, lovely, but still, not...that one. He finally stopped by, and walked on to the island...the sand felt strange, it felt..Softer, he walked further; the animals were more playful and interesting..The trees were much more tropical, the plants and insects more exotic, the smell, more soothing, the air better feeling, and the fruit was delicious, everything about this Island...was perfect. The sailor was amazed, he almost went insane..no, he did go insane. The island was..Perfect, it was like no other, it really was, it...really..was, he couldn’t believe it, the further he walked the more he loved the island, the more he wanted to stay and the more he wanted to go in further, and further, deeper into the island, and the deeper he went the more beautiful and amazing the Island was...it was beyond his wildest dreams..and it was real.

Then all of a sudden when he approached the thick trees of the islands forest, it was hard to walk, very hard to move forward, the ground was muddy and thick, and filled with roots...he managed to get to the outside of the thick trees, and peaked in, and although he couldn’t see well, he saw, the most amazing farming lands, and rivers, and ponds, and exotic creatures he’d never seen before, and that...was just the edge. then..out of nowhere came the forest spirit. The forest spirit was very strong, and fast, alert, and intelligent. It said " go from this place, you are not yet welcome here, I am not ready to allow you passage" ofcourse the sailor replied "Why...why can I not go past, I swear, I will treat the land with respect, and love the land, and care for the crops, and the fruit, and animals, you allowed me this far, why not here?", to which the spirit replied " You cannot go past, I will not let you in here, you must go back," the sailor then said in confusion "please, why? just give me a chance to show you, you will not regret it, I will truely love and care for this land, I love this island, your trees are amazing, your animals are so fun to play with, and your sand is so soft, your island..is amazing", the spirit asked for one day to think of his request to enter the heart of the island, beyond the trees. The next day the spirit approached the sailor, and brought him back to the same ground the stood once before and said " I given your request much thought, and I enjoy your presence here upon this land, but...you are young, and I feel strange allowing such a young soul enter this great land, I do enjoy you being here on the island though, I want you to swim around the island, for a long while without going away to far from it"

The sailor was very happy to hear the spirit enjoyed his presence as he did to the island, but also disappointed he could not move forward...very disappointed, he swam though, but only for a short while, he talked to the spirit a few more times, and played with animals, and grew the fruit, but...all he could think about was the inner forest...beyond the thick trees, he really wanted to be there, and he asked the spirit again if he could be granted passage, but once again he was denied even after a heartfelt conversation with the spirit, and the spirit told him though, why it couldn’t let him though as it said " once I let you through, the island will surely change, and I don’t know how it will change, right now, I control the island, and keep it well, I have lost control before, as it was given to a sailor long ago, but not too long ago, and he left the island, after it has began to rely on him for growing fruit, and the animals grew accustomed to him, the island took long to recover, and I vowed never to let any other sailor beyond the point you have reached, for I fear the loss of control over my island, I cannot give you that much power over this island, I need the control to make sure it doesn’t get destroyed" " I will never hurt the island, I love the island" replied the sailor " I can’t" said the spirit.

The island forest spirit heard him, but did not budge, the sailor felt as though he would never see the inner forest, and began to think he might never see it. And eventually, the sailor began walking away from the island, and the spirit watching him go. The sailor offered a great gift to the island spirit, which made it very happy before he went back to his sailboat and drifted back off to sea. Months later, after many travels, and many deep thoughts about the island..Never going one day without thinking of the island, he remembered..."swim". but the sailor was now afraid to swim around the island, and forgot a great deal how to swim...he had visited the island a few more times, but...not for long at all, and he never got anywhere near as deep as before, just...landing on the shore, reminding the spirit he still sailed these seas, then drifted back out into the abyss of the deep blue sea. As he sailed and sailed far and wide, he never forgot the island, and never really lost his love for the sea....but one thing changed...the sea no longer made him feel free, well, nowhere near as free...as the Island had...and to this day the sailor sails the sea, and to this day he still dreams, of one day...journeying into the inner forest, of the Island with such beautiful sun rays shining bright there upon forever. Though he learned this through the hardest way, in no Island will you enter its Forest behind the tall thick trees of the Island, without first gaining the trust, of the Island spirit. Swim, swim, swim.

The Effects of Poverty on the Human Mind and Rationality

Poverty is and always has been a serious issue in all of the human societies dating back to birth of our species. Wealth inequality is a given, it will always exist so long as any substantial amount of people in a society are selfish or delusional to the issue of poverty. Because of this, we have accept the reality of poverty as something we cannot erase, as if it is some type of unstoppable superpower that will persist to destroy us until it fully eradicates our species. We have given up on trying to end poverty, because of how impossible it seems to stop or even prevent often times, and it is because of this malfunction in all societies that our greatness and potential will always be limited by this leech like factor of poverty that sucks the positive energy out of many of our personal and societal atmospheres. But how exactly does poverty cause so much strife, anger and confusion in our societies, how does it affect how we think and who we are? Well there are many effects of poverty on the human the mind, but they can all be fitted into a two specific categories; Barbaric Reasoning: (Hopelessness,Depression,Anxiety,Fear,Anger, Loss of self) or the other route of Communal Reasoning(Patience,Morality,Love,Humility, increased Spirituality, Insight to self). True poverty reveals alot about a person’s nature and baseline, for you never really know who someone is until they are faced with an extreme situation such as war,pregnancy,divorce,loss, and ofcourse poverty, which I will use to better explain the two rationalities.

A person in poverty who uses Barbaric Reasoning will not be concerned with the ends, he or she will only care about what is right in front of him, the pressing situation that exists in the given moment he is in. The Barbaric Reasoner will stop at nothing to achieve his goal in the moment which will always be one of two things: Survival and Pleasure, because of the second reason he not using the same line of reasoning of animal, although they are both using similar logic, but because of his or hers humanity, the Barbaric Reasoner still desires more than just his or hers own survival, but also the enjoyment of that survival, that is the only distinction between the Barbaric Reasoner and an animal. The Barbaric Reasoner will attack without hesitation anyone and anything who prevents him or her from achieving either the survival or the pleasure of that said Barbaric Reasoner. The Barbaric Reasoner loses nearly all of his or hers ability to feel and express empathy, morality, kindness, love, Self Actualization, Awareness, Contentment, and all other positive emotions, States of Being, and Strands of a Stronger Self. The Barbaric Reasoner develops a sub-human mindset and rationality that destroys the personality and humanity of the person using this line of reasoning.

He or She will often be angry, paranoid, confused, volatile, and lost in the realm of complex thoughts, ideas, and Spirituality. He or She will often feel a sense of Hopelessness and/or Depression because of the mental cage his or hers line of reasoning has evoked. The Barbaric Reasoner will not care about himself so long as he survives and experiences pleasure while doing so. The Barbaric Reasoner is not concerned with anyone type of societal or religious laws he or she once respected and abided by. The Barbaric Reasoner is often a criminal, a liar, con artist, a prostitute , a drug dealer, a drug addict, or outlaw, these are all the common professions of a Barbaric Reasoner. The Barbaric Reasoner cannot be trusted, for he or she has no moral standing and feels no obligation to keep his or her word. He does not care about anyone but himself, he or she does not want any ties, commitments or relationships, do not be fooled by the Barbaric Reasoner when he or she attempts to court you, and verbally expresses love for you, because the Barbaric Reasoner is only concerned with sex, for it gives him or her pleasure, he or she does not care about you, and does not desire your love and affection unless it is expressed physically. The Barbaric Reasoner is often anxious and stressed due to his or hers lack of self, and confusion. The Barbaric Reasoner has lost his or her identity and no longer has the cognitive functioning and mindset of a rational human being.

A person in poverty using Communal Reasoning will be more concerned with the ends aswell his or hers community. The Communal Reasoner places his or herself behind his or hers Family, Community and loved ones. He or She strives to abide by the laws of the society and of his or hers religion even when it is hard and painful to do so. The Communal Reasoner is willing to share even when there is very little, and does expect anything is return. He or she has the will power to do right and be right, and continues on the path or self actualization and increased spirituality if religious. He or she openly expresses empathy and sympathy with and for those in his or her community, and attempts to help those in need to overcome the obstacles they are faced with, even when he or she has his or her own obstacles to worry about. The Communal Reasoner feels and expresses love to those in his or hers family and community, and does not leave anyone behind, or unable to survive unless it is his or hers only option

. The Communal Reasoner has strong sense of right and wrong, and good moral standing, he or she is not confused, selfish, or angry. The Communal Reasoner has humility, and is not blinded by his or her own arrogance,delusions, or lack of sustenance, he or she sees beyond the issues of present, to his or her ultimate goal, and progression of his or hers own community. The Communal Reasoner is patient, even when food, water, or clothing is scarce he or she obtains the said necessities through moral and ethical means. the Communal Reasoner is willing to protect his or her community at all costs including his or her own life. He or she uses the logic of emotional and empathetic human being, and has respect for others, and shows kindness to others. The Communal Reasoner can be trusted, he or she is strong and not afraid if anything other than becoming a Barbaric Reasoner, or the fear of his or her Lord. The Communal Reasoner gains more self identity, and moral status.

These are the two types of Reasoners when faced with times of hardship such as poverty, and each and every one us as human beings has the potential to be either one. It is the choice of the individual as to what type of Reasoner he or she will become, for we all have both positive and negative traits in our True Nature or Baseline personality, whether we choose to embrace our negative traits over our positive traits in hard times will cause us to devolve into a Barbaric Reasoner, and if we choose to go in the direction of our positive traits and repressive our negative ones we will metamorphoses into a Communal Reasoner. It is not complex, its simple, no matter how hard times become, you will always have the choice to be either of the two types of Reasoners, it is never forced upon us, we decide at some point who we are and who we will become, it is no ones choice but yours, and nothing can make you one type or another other than your own logic, will, beliefs, and morality. And remember that at any given time, a Barbaric Reasoner can become a Communal Reasoner and a Communal Reasoner can become a Barbaric one.

How to Achieve your Stronger Self

There are three steps in achieving your stronger self, The first is to find meaning and commit to your belief, the second is to understand yourself, truly entering the tranquil world of self actualization, and the third is to truly see and understand the importance of the seven strands of a higher self: love, respect, kindness, knowledge, awareness,contentment and your ultimate goal. In order to achieve your stronger self, one must first analyze his or her own life in the realm of deep thought, logic and clarity. To achieve one's higher self one must also understand his or her's reason for living, for without a reason to live, you are lost, and you are the victim of your own ignorance. Ignorance is one of the greatest enemies of a man or woman on the path to achieving one's higher self, for in your ignorance you will go astray, and lose track of your reason and purpose, and lose track of who you are, and in your ignorance you will also be deluded and delusional in all regards to the seven strands of a higher self consisting of love, respect kindness, knowledge, awareness, contentment the ultimate goal. Ignorance is a disease, that breeds intolerance, confusion, anger, hedonism, and lack of connectivity between your soul and the souls of all humanity, the universe, nature, the animal kingdom, the elements, and even ones inner self. In order to break free of the shackles of ignorance, one must strive to seek knowledge, and to understand the knowledge that is discovered. One must practice patience, for without patience you are bound to take shortcuts to realms of sacred knowledge, and openness you were not prepared for. You must first have a foundation, for every great structure has a foundation, the pyramids, the city of Paris, or the advanced modern medicine of first world societies, and what greater a structure on earth, than that of human being, mind, body and soul. Both the pyramids and Paris were planned, they were goals, the end product, which took years and years of hard work, commitment, deep thought, and passion. Your belief should be this way, you should work hard to maintain your belief, commit to it, and indulge yourself into deep thought in the realm of enlightenment. One should be knowledgeable about his or her belief, and to have understanding of that knowledge. True logic is the logic of your heart, even when others disrespect your believe or try make you ashamed of your believe, or when others try to make your believe seem foolish, you must not be effected by the intolerant ones, or the ignorant ones, and the disrespectful ones, for they are to be left behind, and trapped in the cage of their lack understanding and limited potential. Rise above those who attempt to bring you down to their world of confusion, anger and depression. Do not be mesmerized or fooled by material gain and desires of the instant. See past the illusion of world you can only see with your eyes, and welcome the idea that there is something far greater, and there is far more, than what you can perceive. Be one with your believe, and have no doubts of your believe, if you doubt your believe, find out why, and seek answers within your belief, and if you simply do not believe, than don't be a liar, and find what you believe to be the truth, only you can make that decision for yourself, and there is nothing anyone can do but guide you to what they believe, they cannot force you to believe, that is with you.The second step is to achieve self actualization, this is a state in which you know and understand your self, your perception of reality, and your purpose. To achieve the second step in the path to achieving one's higher self, you must discover who you are. Follow your heart, and your dreams, question why you do the things you do, and why you do not do the things you don't. Ask yourself what you want, what you don't want, what makes you unique, how you want to be seen, and how perceive yourself in relation to how others perceive you. Find out how you want to live your life, and what your life means to you, what and who is important to you, and why are those things, aspects or people in your life as important, or unimportant to you as they are. Find out what makes you happy, where your boundaries are, and why they are there. Overcome all emotional or memorial obstacles that trouble you, limit you, or prevent you from achieving your higher self. Fix the relationships that you regret to have destroyed, and destroy the relationships you regret to have fixed. Do not let the negative words of others effect you, but also do not let your patience repress your vigor, stand up for yourself and fight for your beliefs and loved ones. See past the facades and lies in your life, find the truth, and the truth of yourself, know yourself, understand yourself, and accept yourself for who are, but strive to make yourself better, and more complete.The third and final step to achieving your Stronger Self is know and understand the importance and love, to love, and accept love, be in love, and commit to those you love. respect those you love, be there for those you love and who love you, and show compassion and be thoughtful and kind to those you love and who love you. Respect yourself, respect your believe, and respect the believes of others, respect others as human beings, and respect the ones you love, and the ones to whom you owe respect. respect knowledge, respect the animals, nature, and good ideas. Be kind to others, be kind to animals and earth, be kind to strangers, and to those you love. Be knowledgeable about your self, your believe, those around you, your world, your field of study and expertize and what you want to know. Be Aware, see further, think deeper, and understand more, open your eyes to more, and broaden your perception. Be content with what you have, and what you are given, strive to achieve what you want and work for the things you believe you deserve, but don't lose sight of all the things you do have. Most importantly have an ultimate goal, and follow the path that leads there, overcoming all obstacles in the way to whatever it may be. Following these steps you will achieve your Stronger Self.

Do we have Free Will?

Free will, that amazing ability that is a large part of what makes us as human beings different from everything else, we have the power to choose. But what does that actually mean, 'the power to choose', surely that power isn't infinite, so then would it not simply be a fallacy that we, in our ignorance perceive to be reality? It is impossible for a human being to posses absolute and infinite free will, there are many things we simply cannot prevent, many things in which we have no say, no choice, and no freedom; For example, death is unavoidable, aswell as aging, our physical sexual characteristics that determine our gender at birth, who our parents are, our 'race', our height or foundational intelligence, and where we are born or who fall in love with. None of these events or realities showcase the human ability to choose, there is no free will in certain areas. The only possessor of true and absolute free will is our creator. Regardless of whether or not you believe in the creator, your selection of choice is just as narrow, whether you worship the sun, the wind or moon, or believe in science alone, you are forced to come to terms with the fact that you cannot prevent yourself from death, and, as a wise man wrote "If you are a man, you cannot be horse, because you are a man" its simply the laws of physics and a rational thought. Further more, even in the case of prewritten destiny, we are still presently making choices, they are just known, but still choices none the less, although it does make you examine the concept of free will with these thoughts in mind. So what is it then? this glorious ability to choose, what can we choose, what is our say within the limitations of our humanity? The amount of choices we have are actually 'infinite' in the sense that the amount of things we can say or do within the one dimensional time frame each passing second is so far beyond our ability to act out each possible route available that it simulates an endless fountain of possible choices that build on each other as your selection of choices branch out more and more as you gain knowledge, wisdom and understanding throughout your progression through life, thus forming a 'path' that to us, is being paved with every step, with the option or, choice, to move in another direction as we so please until the time of our death. A path is chosen, or even when a path is not chosen, that is still a path, because you chose not to choose, which is actually still a product of free will, because you had more than choice. This makes the distinction between free will, and a large selection of choices, A large selection of choices selection would simply mean that your selection is extremely broad and you have the capacity to indulge in any of infinite or numerous possibilities, whereas I believe in the case of free will, even if your selection is a low as two possible routes, your ability to make that choice of which path to take is what makes us free. The number of choices would be completely irrelevant to us, if we did not have the ability to choose. The wonderful thing though, is that in a way we have both an 'infinite' amount of choices, and the ability to chose. What I mean when I say we have an 'infinite' amount of choices would be better explained and understood in an example: Imagine there is an ant who, being an ant has a predicted life span of 90 days, this ant was born in Washington DC which has a land area of about 68 square miles This ant move at an average speed of 1 inch every 2 seconds, There are 63,360 inches in a mile, and 86,400 seconds in a day, so by dividing the number of seconds in a day (86,400) by the number of seconds it takes the ant to move 1 inch (2), you would see that the ant can travel up to 43,200 inches in one day, multiplied by the predicted life span of the ant (90 days) 43,200 * 90 = 3,888,000 inches which is no more than about 4.7 miles, so if an ant is born in downtown DC, which is 7.7 miles from the Maryland line in silver spring, than it would be impossible for the ant to ever leave DC, The world is 57,308,738 square miles and DC is only 68, the ant can only explore the totality of 4.7 of those square miles, which is about 7% of the city, and the city is 0.0001% of the land area of the world, that ant will never see outside of DC, but to the ant, DC is a limitless world of amazement. We, much like that ant, although are limited greatly by a large variety of unstoppable obstructions in the realm of our freewill, are still limitless within limits. You are, in that sense, truly free.
