One is cursed if he believes what he wants to believe. A subject must do his best to see and find the real truth as it is, and to accept it and act upon the facts, and not upon the illusions of the comfort of the mutated facts with which the brain constantly tries to soothe itself.

Facing Uncomfortable Truths

beauty is in the eye of the beholder.
Comments / Sharing: beauty is in the eye of the beholder.It is difficult to say that it is just ugly or that this work is frankly bad (if a person made it from the heart, not to order or for the sake of money or fame). It would be more precise to say “I don’t quite understand it”, “it’s not to my current taste”, “it’s not finished to the end”, “the idea is incongruous”, “it’s blind and not enough experience”.
In many ways, the feeling of beauty is a subjective feeling, it is born in our heads as a reaction, it is our feeling – human. external it only stimulates, causes.
It is therefore unrealistic to ethically postulate aesthetic objectivity, it is always just a shadow.
The general principles of harmonies exist unconditionally, no doubts, but they give the reason such justifications to judge and a basis for the search for a universal factor of beauty, but after all it is only a basis, it is dry on a blank sheet of paper without personal feelings of the reflections processes.

A fool with a luck
Comments / Sharing: A fool with a luckYou’d get even three times more lucky, still you’re a fool directed to an end road after all.
For the real success, good morals and general education comes before power and money.

Communications and fights
Comments / Sharing: Communications and fights2
All people are complicated, always try to find your own specific approach with each person – directing not from yourself, but from the context and from the person, you will reach an agreement sooner and it will be better after all.

You can kill and slap a face and even be rewarded for it, but only if you defended yourself and did not attack first, did not provoke the attack or the fight. The real winner is the one with the power of mind control.
Don’t be a fool, never attack first, and in general aggression between people is unproductive, essentially a meaningless rudiment, like chewing raw meat or making fire with your hands.

Abstract idea of evil
Comments / Sharing: Abstract idea of evilDon’t see evil.
Too abstract.
Hate is blinding.
Must see the messiness, complexity, inefficiency of systems
Look wider.
Calmer.
The concept of evil may be fine for a simple pop-cinema.
But in the real world it’s an embellishment, a dead-end emotion, a false aesthetic overlay.
Evil is in fact ignorance, confusion, complexity, sometimes just a disorder.

Explanations 15624
Comments / Sharing: Explanations 15624The approach to explaining the first causes by creation and creators is frankly weak and helpless – who created the stones? … and who created the creator? and who created the creator of creator? No, it’s too banal. Why try to explain, if we could just let it be hidden until we get more facts.
Important to remember one simple thing – we don’t know much – and to calm down on this, i.e. to work on the nearest level, to develop bridges there, and not to dream of going there just like that, one fantastic jump, easy way, it is an illusion.
At some level, even the concepts themselves may not be clear, for example, we have quite a primitive feeling or multi dimensional space or hyper complexity of human relations (someone said, “there is no evil but there is a complexity”).
If you don’t know, if you can’t, don’t make a fuss. Don’t look for empty explanations, it’s too far and complicated, focus on the tangible.

Define accordingly

False reaction circles
Comments / Sharing: False reaction circlesThe media tend to promote all kinds of anxiety to attract attention and sell their traffic – people read it and really start spreading nonsense.
What can you do if people’s brains are really like that – to react strongly to danger and anxiety (in order to prevent it) and weak to wellbeing and prosperity (why if all nice).
It’s true in the broadest context, the stimulus of suffering projects development.
Black stimulates white.
It’s just the way it is.
I personally don’t care about all this fuss about news and the internet, I’m always ready to die and accept the truth as it is. I can see but I don’t panic.
Our brains are limited and it is better to filter the flows to keep it healthy. let events happen, act precisely and when required.

Transition consciousness
Comments / Sharing: Transition consciousnessGet out of your head and ‘see’ by the outside, look at the objects around you, how they rest… How long they stay there… How they don’t move. Think about time. Get out of your head and think about being, outside of the illusory. Our life is almost always our head and everything through it, how good it is sometimes to feel and understand the depth and stillness of the world as it is, without us.

Upgrade only if you can downgrade
Comments / Sharing: Upgrade only if you can downgradeOnly update technology if the changes are clearly documented, and there’s a straightforward method to revert to previous versions. Nowadays, bugs and unhelpful interventions are common. Post modern capitalisms blindly pushes for sales only, quality is a shadow there.

Real power or an abusive illusion
Comments / Sharing: Real power or an abusive illusionProgressive, strong cultures always openly accept everything – races, sexual preferences, the darkness of severe mistakes (slavery, tyranny). Becoming even stronger. In fact, true power and strength they are always open-minded
Weak, defeasive, degenerate cultural flows are usually closed, forbidding, pompously threatening, hidding. Afraid of everything. Fragile.
So don’t be fooled and afraid by the pompousness of the power of weakness, real strength and power is always open, acceptable, calm.

The act of creative realization and the essence of the art product
Comments / Sharing: The act of creative realization and the essence of the art productNot so much the one who generated it, but the one who found, probed, filtered, shaped it…. and of course, felt, made and brought to life.
People are gravitating towards the human thing.
The result is always a product, a product in the meaning of something that is the output of formalized activity that has the potential to be useful to others.
There are reasons for the creative act, in the order of the value scale – realization of inner energy, cognitive needs, communication, commerce.

Emptiness
Comments / Sharing: EmptinessNo amount of money, no amount of pleasure, no amount of play can cover the feeling that behind it all and behind it all is emptiness.
Stand alone at night in the silent darkness and realize that nothing can cover that emptiness.
Comfort can be made, yes; sometimes emptiness can be muted. But the void, the death, the depth… Everything material is essentially only temporary, vainly empty, a game, a trick…
But there is the spiritual and it lives, the great ideas and the rational, the spiritual is that which opens the understanding of emptiness.
Not all great ideas are reasonable and accurate, however, religions close the feeling of emptiness but also close the emptiness itself, that is in essence a kind of drug that closes off all feeling. There should be some field of emptiness left for better understanding for maneuvering of consciousness…
