“Life is like arriving late for a movie and having to figure out what was going on.” ~Joseph Campbell

 
This week I would like to share this great video called “The Spirit of Being,” which features the likes of Carl G. Jung, Jiddu Krishnamurti, Terrance McKenna, Gary Zukav, and Joseph Campbell. The video briefly summerizes the topics which I discuss in a lot of my previous blogs, such as The Ego, Religion, Meme, and among many others. The video also touches upon the history of the human psyche and the patterns of our collective consciousness, as well as the topics of where we have been and where we are going as a species, and explores the realization that our reality is merely a physical extension of the spiritual realm. Watch the video and read through my blog posts on this site to learn more about the topics.

Omnipotent, Omnipresent, Omniscient

“Split a piece of wood, and I am there. Lift up the stone, and you will find me there.” ~Jesus

Good and evil exist as a program within God and God is the creator of our collective consciousness. God is be known as omnipotent, omnipresent and omniscient, which is the definition of universal consciousness and everything beyond all consciousness. God experiences all, through the rocks and through all plant life, through all animals and experiences simultaneously through you and through me, God experiences all bliss and happiness, all suffering and pain, all love and all fear, all good and all evil, beyond all duality, science or religion. And the subconscious minds of all sentient beings are the connecting links to universal consciousness where everything comes from nothing and our past, present and future is happening simultaneously. This is how God is omnipotent, omnipresent and omniscient.

Meme

“The first human who hurled an insult instead of a stone was the founder of civilization.” ~Sigmund Freud

Have you ever thought about why people do what they do, speak the way they speak, dress the way they dress, believe what they believe? As Deepak Chopra said,

“Packaged inside every feeling is a tale, I am this way for a reason.”

And that reason is called a meme. A fad fashion is an example of a meme. A meme is an example of the conscious or unconscious acceptance of an external influence that comes from culture. It is also known as a mimic. Language itself is a meme, as the word mimic is derived from the Latin word mimicus or the Greek word mimikos. The word meme is derived from the Greek word mimema, which means something imitated. A meme is the evidence of how susceptible the human mind really is, so I ask the question again, are we living conscious or unconscious lives? Are you aware that you are not aware? Although understanding what a meme is can give a huge insight to human actions, beliefs and behavior. Throughout this post are some pictures of memes, which I must assume that these people taking part in the memes think that they look cool and original. However, they are merely imitating what they think looks cool from an external influence and not from an internal original creation. Being an original is not so original anymore. If someone is not an original then they must be a counterfeit, and a counterfeit is not truth.

“One of the most misleading representational techniques in our language is the use of the word I.” ~Wittgenstein

The 100th Monkey effect may be actual physical evidence of a meme within a species of primate and the meme is within The Matrix of consciousness. A meme is anything that can be copied from one mind to another. A meme is partially responsible for the creation of what we call The Ego. According to the dictionary a meme is an element of a culture or a system of behavior passed from one individual to another by imitation or other non-genetic means. A meme is a form of cultural evolution and a form of belief or a belief system, concept or idea that has a pattern of behavior that spreads throughout a society or a culture, like the duality of religion and atheism. A meme is either spread directly by a cultural inheritance, such as, the patterns of the belief that we have programmed in our subconscious minds that came primarily from our parents, siblings, aunts, uncles, grandparents, etc. Thus when we fear or love we inherently condemn our future generations to our patterns of behaviors through our children, as this was also mentioned in the blog posts Wake Up II and The Unconscious Mind. The second influence is indirectly by cultural acquisition, such as through peers, information and entertainment media. This is the vicious cycle that keeps a meme alive. We are a society of copycats and this is what we call the creation of civilization.

“You can’t say that civilization don’t advance, however, for in every war they kill you in a new way.” ~Will Rogers

Meme war

People falsely believe that we are technologically advanced, but that is far from the truth. Individually, we are not technologically advanced. Instead we are technologically dependent. If you were to leave your cell phone at home, could you create one? Probably not. Do you understand or can you conceive the ideas of advanced science, the creation of modern weapon systems or nuclear bombs? Probably not. So are you really technologically advanced? How did these concepts ever come into the human psyche? How did we, as a species, conceive the idea of mass destruction? It doesn’t end with technology or The Ego. It begins in the human psyche. By necessity the human psyche created something more enigmatic and insidious. What it created was a meme. Perhaps a meme is the greatest epidemic known to man that has already infected our entire species like a virus.

Open your mind, but like Richard Dawkins said,

“By all means let’s be open minded, but not so open minded that our brains drop out.”

 

“God exists, if only in the form of a meme with high survival value, or infective power, in the environment provided by human culture.” ~Richard Dawkins

Religion

“Religion is like a blind man looking in a black room for a black cat that isn’t there, and finding it.” ~Oscar Wilde

 

The following story is a parable. Once upon a time a long time ago in a distant land, there were three blind men who were asked by a king to describe an elephant with their sense of touch. The first blind man held the elephant’s tail and said that the elephant felt like a rope. The second blind man felt the elephant’s leg and described it as being like a tree. The third blind man touched the elephant’s tusk and said that the elephant felt like a thick spear. After each description, the three blind men argued for hours about the description of the elephant and each insisted that their description was correct while the others’ was false. A wise man that was passing by saw and heard the quarrel between the three blind men. He approached and asked about the argument. One blind man replied and said, “We cannot agree on the description of the elephant” and each of them gave their descriptions. The wise man laughed and explained to the blind men that all of them were correct. The blind men seemed confused with his response. The wise man then explained that the elephant had all those features and many more features that they have not been described or discovered by the blind men. The wise man said that the reason the elephant felt different was simply because they were each feeling different areas of the elephant.
 

“God has no religion.” ~Gandhi

 
The story of the three blind men and the elephant is very similar to the perceptions of different religions in regards to God. People get so attached to the beliefs of their religion because of their “Ego,” that many become close minded and fearful of other truths. I’m sure that many have seen a situation where a person hides from Jehovah’s Witnesses that is approaching their door. So I must ask, how strong is your faith and your belief in your religion if you choose to hide? Likewise, Jehovah’s Witness are no different than a blind man describing an elephant. Although, their approach is obtrusive and intrusive. Like a blind man, each religion holds their version of the ‘truth’ because there is a difference between truth and truth. Do you know what that difference is? Like an “Atheist,” many who follow a religion may also suffer from neurosis and cognitive dissonance. Atheism and religion are two extremes of the same “Duality.” However, all religions do have an undeniable component of truth within them. Yet like the blind men none are capable of seeing the complete truth of God.
 

“Religion is regarded by the common people as true, by the wise as false, and by the rulers as useful.” ~Seneca

 
The napkin religion

Throughout the history of this planet many unethical and immoral crimes have been committed against life, because of the belief in religion, which is in the name of God. Religion is doing what you are told regardless of what is right! Morality and ethics is doing what is right regardless of what you are told. Religion has actually become a method of control of the human consciousness. An example is Christianity, as it has become an aberration and perversion of what it is to have true Christ consciousness. Christ consciousness is the pursuit of spiritual knowledge and evolution through enlightenment within the self, as physical reality is a physical expression and extension of the spiritual world. Consequently, the Roman Emperor Constantine manipulated and corrupted Christianity for the purpose of control and power, which is the Christianity that many know today. Many will revert to The Bible and say that what they say is true because it’s in the bible. But it is no different than the napkin photo to the right. The Bible is filled with gaps and contradictions, which is evidence of being tampered with! Many people within their religions falsely believe that when a day of judgement comes they will be the only ones who will be saved simply because of their association to a certain religion and not based on their behavior. Is it really as easy as a guessing game of picking the right religion? Again do not be misled, your association with a certain religion has nothing to do with your association of how you relate to your world, to the laws of nature, your environment and ultimately to yourself!
 

Religion is the masterpiece of the art of animal training, for it trains people as to how they shall think.” ~Schopenhauer

 
Religions fail to see the entirety of the true meaning of life, due to the dogmatic limits within religion. Religions are merely an organized system of belief based upon traditions of men, instead of the pursuit of a relationship with God. Religion is the exchanging of an internal truth for an external performance, substituting internal spiritual realities with external carnal rituals. Religion is known as the middleman between you and God, dealing with God directly is known as spirituality.
 

“All religions must be tolerated, for every man must get to heaven in his own way.” ~Epictetus
