It always amazes me how many people go through today as if it was a repeat of yesterday! They carry forward the emotional and mental damage from their yesterdays, and allow it to pollute the present.

What really blows my mind is that I used to be like them! It has been a very interesting road to travel these past few years. I am sure that it will become even more interesting as time goes on.

What got me thinking about this? Well, I ran into an old quote that I had saved on my laptop. Here it is for your viewing pleasure:

"There is no novelty to me in the reflection that, from my earliest years,I have accepted many false opinions as true, and that what I have concluded from such badly assured premises could not but be highly doubtful and uncertain. From the time that I first recognized this fact, I have realized that if I wished to have any firm and constant knowledge in the sciences, I would have to undertake, once and for all, to set aside all the opinions which I had previously accepted among my beliefs and start again from the very beginning."

Without knowing it, that is exactly what I have been doing for some time now. I am actively trying to unlearn all of the misleading ideas, lies, and false assumptions that I was force-fed as a child. Exactly like we were all force-fed via this socializing machine called school, as well as society at large.

That's right. It is time I said it. If you read the newspaper, if you watch television, if you listen to the radio news, if you read magazines, well then the brainwashing is still going on for you.

I know this may sound harsh and categorical, although it is not meant that way. I mean it is a wake-up call.

Turn off the radio, turn off the television, stop playing that violent video game, stop reading those trashy magazines that only make you feel bad about yourself. Do it now before it is too late!

The world is changing. The collective consciousness is shifting. Maybe you haven't noticed it yet. Maybe you've been busy; so wrapped up in our materialistic 21st century world.

I am writing this to get you to stop and consider that what we are living is not life, it's a lie perpetrated by the media to control us.

Go outside, go into nature for a walk. Listen to the birds singing. Watch the rabbits and the squirrels running about. Clear your mind, and drop that load of worries from your shoulders. Reconnect with nature, the world, and with your fellow humans. That is what is real. Not the media.

So there, I said something that should provoke quite a few comments. Let me see who is reading this, and what you have to say.

By the way, the picture is some celestial, astronomical object who's name I have forgotten. The reason I included this picture is because to me it looks like the eye of God. Do you think he is watching you?
