I talked myself into finally getting another blog in.
It has been a while, not because I haven't wanted to blog (everyday I want to blog), but because I have been finding and learning so much, ever evolving sight, convincing me more and more that the truth IS out there ...and IN there. 'In' being your own. Knowing what I know now, I know that I know not enough.
Actually, I'd like to make this a challenge, also: Blog YOUR God.
I MUST put a little 'disclaimer' here:
In no form, do I intend to degrade any person for their faith-based system of belief. With that, I must also warn that I believe that the majority of faith-based systems are mis-understood, and in most cases idiotic. I have many friends, covering a good chunk of belief systems out there, and where we differ we respectfully disagree. On last note (of disclaimer), I am always open for discussion and willing to admit fault where needed. With knowledge comes understanding ...comes wisdom.
Another admission; no, I am not a scholar, nor have I done ALL the research. The search for knowledge in one's lifetime is never-ending.
Remember later; The firing of neurons/Synapses
In my studies (which are in no way complete), it has become more and more noticeable the similarities in the stories of man, passed generation to generation ...era to era ...millenia to millenia. Put all the stories (no, not literally all, there are exceptions to the rule) from all the societies, from all ages in what we can decipher from recorded history, backed by social adherence and archaeological finds, and (if you don't fall asleep first) it is quite easy to see the same basic story/plot. Like how much of what is modern entertainment media (theater, print, screen) just rehashed stories, with different characters in different places. Or, the 'remakes' of populars, maybe throwing in a new slant. And, how each and every story has some basis in fact, whether it be locale(s), names, events. Storytellers take what they know (which in most cases is based in what they've heard) and retell, most often with exaggeration. As the story goes on, it most often gets little omissions, personal twists, moral implications, and so on. That is how storytelling is, and, as we have seen repeatedly, always has been.
Ever wonder why ethnicities are usually depictable/recognizable? Ever notice the 'mistaken identity' phenomenon? Ever notice how some people, even separated from relation and ethnicity, have some very similar traits/characteristics? "Bird nose," hairline, voice control, eye shape, metabolic tone ...Ever wonder why?
As nature occurs, elements act and react with surrounding elements as elements do. Not all elements "live in the same neighborhood." The neighborhood of this hydrogen living in France might not have the same 'ethnic' population as a hydrogen living in Hawaii. Yet, elements do as elements do ...some elements get along and some don't. But, like elements do like things with other respective elements. It's a big, chaotic circus. Some come away winners; some just have fun; some leave disappointed; and some don't leave at all.
Now, take the previous three paragraphs and ponder:
The development of structure (and it is all structure) is very similar to a story that goes through the ages. Along the way of development, stories change. The sustainable ("believable") characteristics of the story get passed on. Some stories last a long time. Some don't. Some similar characteristics/traits get passed along, even through many dilutions. ALL still retain an origin ...a portion of truth, fact.
Even a short comparative lesson in theology and philanthropy/sociology can just about convince anyone that what they hold dear to as 'common belief' is AT BEST a misunderstood story ...retaining still it's portion of truth, fact. Not to 'pick' on Christians, but to hold their scriptures as THE Word of God over ALL works, with all it's little 'inerrant' discrepancies, is as logical as holding to worship of the god Horus, or Osiris, or Thor ...or my microwave. Let us delve there a bit, sorta.
The definition of myth:
The term "myth" is often used colloquially to refer to a false story; however, the academic use of the term generally does not pass judgment on its truth or falsity. In the study of folklore, a myth is a symbolic narrative explaining how the world and humankind came to be in their present form. Many scholars in other fields use the term "myth" in somewhat different ways. In a very broad sense, the word can refer to any traditional story.
The definition of faith:
is the confident belief or trust in the truth or trustworthiness of a person, concept or thing.
The definition of religion:
is a set of beliefs concerning the cause, nature, and purpose of the universe, especially when considered as the creation of a supernatural agency or agencies, usually involving devotional and ritual observances, and often containing a moral code governing the conduct of human affairs.
The definition of story:
is a common term for a description of a sequence of events, notably:a traditional form of storytelling, told to a child to prepare them for sleep; a narrative used in organization studies; a fictional narrative of briefer length than a novella.
From 'creation' to 'enlightenment' or 'apocalypse,' there's the 'damsel,' the 'distress,' the 'king,' the 'hero,' the 'city,' and the 'country.' The heroes have their fame, the kings their kingdoms, the damsels their knights ...prayers and adoration ...exaltation and coronations.
What is notable in all the themes are mainly two things (all the other common themes can be grouped): A beginning and a prophesied 'end' or 'change.'
Back in 1993, I had a (what I considered) life-changing event. Not anything massive like loss of loved-one or near death experience, but an 'answer to prayer.' The moment exhilarated my soul and sparked a fire. I was 'saved,' and believed it. That flame lasted until another 'answer to prayer' revealed depth. The latter prayer was to teach me truth. I dove and dove and dove into everything i felt lead to that would help me understand more my divine relationship. I was drawn heavily into creation and eschatology. It was in that 'dive' that i realized many don't know their own faith. "Spread the good word," and "be a witness" rang the bell ...so, i sought the Spirit in sharing my knowledge with others, in hopes to 'save their souls' or 'admonish the spirit.' There, i learned 'inerrancy' ...and hypocrisy. "Those who have ears to hear, let them hear" that even if Christianity was correct, the Holy Scriptures are AT BEST inspired by Elohim, not THE Word of God. Same exact principle for all other faiths.
Just noticed that this is gonna be pretty long.
Again, i must note, that i do not want to seem to be 'picking' on the Christians. Quite the contrary, actually. I speak of the Christians in this piece because i came from the Christians, and i studied my arse off. The scripture speaks of knowing "His Word" and having it in your heart, and being able to give answer for the faith. The world had questions and was lost; The Word of God had the answers. Right?
Now, let's jump to some physics. If you read Stephen Hawking "The History of Everything" and "The History of the Universe" ...i'm probably 85% in-line with that thinking. LOL, in no way am i inferring that i'm in the same caliber. There's a couple things i would not fully agree with, or see a different alignment, but for the most part, maybe 90%, that is how it is.
Now, let's take this all in; Storytelling/stories, elements, myths, religion, history, physics ...let's throw it all in to:
Synapses in the brain
Electrical pulses
Neurons firing
Cause ...effect
I DO believe in a 'higher' or 'supreme power.' I DO believe that religion has played and will continue to play a vital role in the development of culture and power. Unfortunately, because we are animals who need rewards, there will be greed, thus the misuse and abuse of power through religion mainly. I believe that religion provides, where truth and honesty abound, structure and guidance along one's way. It provides perspective and meaning to life. Lo, i say, no religion today, save a miniscule may, has the way.
"God" is a GREAT storyteller who wanted to tell a story. As the words came to his thoughts, like fairies all a buzz, they made real what never was.
A synaptic connection in the mind of God ...BIG BANG!
The entire universe, in all its wondrous array and complexity, is the intellectual property of God. Interactions built stories upon stories; legends and epics.
So, what does that mean for life? Now, that is a conversation.
**definitions were snagged from wikipedia.com. i strongly endorse personal research against any claim made by any entity. resources abound, use them all.**

No, I wasn't high when I wrote this
So I was reading through a forum discussion at a site I have been visitting quite a bit lately.
A poster wrote the following:
"Smoking Weed has some major risks some of which make cigarettes look friendly. I suspect smoking blue grass is not very good for you either.
Eating it (also illegal) has proved to be beneficial in many ways for some people with few health risks far fewer that that bag of chips. Is there a health reason to support the use or is it just trying to avoid the real world for a few minutes?"
Well, I was compelled to respond. The thread concerned cannabis interfering in a relationship and another poster had asked for help. A few posters got kind of off the topic, including myself, but I felt compelled to educate some instead of allowing misinformation to continue. Think of my stand as you will, but the right information leads to the right decisions is my goal. Following was my response in that forum (sorry for the length, lol, but this is my blog):
----------
About the risks of smoking weed, the ONLY risks are 1)legality, and 2)the biproducts of smoking. I'm going to assume by the first sentence that you're referring to the health risks involved from the biproducts of smoking. First of all, wherever that came from was not complete. The nicotine in tobacco cigarettes excite a great number of specific receptors in your brain [that get very angry when they don't get their fix], and has been proven highly addictive, not just mentally, but physically. Prepackaged cigarettes contain a significant number of chemicals used for preservation and flavor, much of which alone are destructive to cells and membranes throughout the respiratory system. The tar and specific byproducts in tobacco cigarettes is what is lower than that of cannabis, but not because of the difference between the two products; it is because of the curing and preservation process of tobacco refinery. The tobacco is more dried out (unless one is growing and curing the tobacco themselves). The nicotine and tar from tobacco will also soak in to fabrics and coat walls (the same as it does in your lungs).
Cannabis, on the other hand, excites a fewer number of receptors in your brain [that are just fine without their fix], and has been proven not physically addictive (mentally yes, but that is an individual basis regarding that individuals 'willpower' and level of maturity). Prepackaged cannabis does not contain artificial flavorings (unless one adds it themselves), nor does it contain any preservatives. Cannabis smokers are kinda picky in that sense ...the fresher the better. The tar from cannabis smoking, comparing freshly cured cannabis and freshly cured (not preserved) tobacco of comparable grades, is relatively the same. Now, cannabis smoke does contain much more ammonia, hydrogen cyanide and nitrogen oxides than tobacco, yet no link to cancer can be found; but, the cannabinoid CBD is being further studied for the appearance of positive results in treating breast cancer. Furthermore, cannabinoids love fat cells ...nicotine loves mucal (did i spell that right?) membranes and 'brain matter.'
When a non-smoker of tobacco walks in to the house of indoor tobacco smokers, they will immediately smell the nicotine and tar that is coated on everything. That same non-smoker walks in to the house of indoor cannabis smokers who are not tobacco smokers, they may notice a faint sweet smell.
Also, the smell of tobacco will stay permanent until the nicotine and tar are removed (by hand, not naturally), even without continued smoking thereafter. The smell of cannabis will faintly dissipate in less than a day after the last 'smoke.'
Yes, digesting cannabis is ideal so that one is not inhaling the smoke byproducts (actually, a vaporizer is ideal), but requires a significantly larger quantity for the 'effects' of THC that are desirable, unless it is solely for the herbal taste addition to the foods (which is quite common, and quite good). There is no benefit whatsoever, flavor or health, in digesting tobacco. It is actually horrible tasting and a detriment to health in the same manner as smoking it except it will also aid in ulcers in the mucal membranes of the throat, stomach and intestinal tract, instead of the lungs. The nicotine still makes its way to the brain. Also, cannabis consumption, including smoking it, will lower respiration rates, raise metabolism, lower pressure in the eyeballs (hence glaucoma users), entice appetite, and ease nausea, among other things. Tobacco raises circulatory rates and metabolism, excites nerves (thus the whole stress relief thing is completely due to the mental and physical addiction), lowers appetite, and has been known to induce nausea.
The findings of almost all scientific studies on cannabis show absolutely no reason for cannabis to be regulated in Schedule I (Schedule IV in international treaty). The absolute reason 'marijuana' was outlawed is due to the government's inability to control use and the flow of product coming in to the country, specifically from Mexico/Mexican immigrants (legal and illegal) in the early and mid 1930s. The term 'marijuana' is derived from the Mexican-Spanish term for cannabis – marihuana. The propaganda push from cannabis opponents lobbying government used this term to excite the population relating the immigration problem, namely Mexicans, and 'marijuana.' Those damned Mexicans (please read that statement in a satiric tone)!
There are a GREAT number of medical doctors that recommend cannabis, whether smoking or ingesting, to cancer, glaucoma and HIV patients, among other ailment sufferers, whether legal or not.
To all I hope and encourage unbiased education rather than misinformation and propaganda.

The Song is Over ...Next
Man, there are so many times in a week that I wish I worked at home ...lol.
So, I've got this idea. Kinda 'if'y, might not work, dunno. Let me know what you think of it? lol.
I will forewarn any readers that this does involve a bit of 'Big Brother' idealism. Just a warning; intended for mature audiences.
We know that all the bailout money so far IS NOT going to work. It's evident that it is only procrastinating the inevitable. 1) Before any more funds are allocated as a 'bailout' or 'stimulus' or any other such idiotic terminology, the government pushes the stop button.
When a driver has steered off the road, it is the wisdom of, and in best interest of, the driver to correct the steer and return to the road, given traffic is clear to proceed ...or pull over if possible, stop, regain composure, then resume corrective action and get going.
I think we missed a turn back somewhere, and we need to get on the right road from where we are. Also, the traffic on the road is quite heavy, with crashes everywhere all the time ...not to mention the animals and stupid people crossing in front of us. As a nation, as well as a global society, we need to realize that the childhood dreamcar we've been racing around in for the past couple hundred years is falling apart ...maintenance is more than its worth. It's time to buy a new car.
I remember the days when people were looked at funny for owning foreign vehicles; when no foreign auto felt comfortable in the same parking lot as American autos. People dreamt away childhoods fantasizing about American cars. Now, oh man! Now, it costs too damn much to start with, and sure as h3ll isn't worth it, drinks too much gas, could do better on safety and safety related recalls, and aren't near as powerful as the yacht my dad bought the family when we were kids in Hillsboro, ND; it was American. Or, how about those American cars that are suchered (probably not spellt right -- those dissolvable stitches) up pieces from around the globe.
Haha. You're probably waiting for me to get to number 2. I'll get there ...lol.
In a process that would take, in my naive estimate, approximately two years if done right and well, we can set our compasses and embark on a journey, together; bring hope back to EVERY American; change the economic structure to fit for a much more 'fair share' (don't worry, not a sort of redistribution of wealth); again set for the world a goal to reach and a dream that does come true; be on a path to ending poverty and homelessness; be free from fear of a neighbor; live the American dream; show the world what democracy is all about when we can stand in the face of global adversity, and with a sure foot down proclaim, that we are proud to be American.
Here is the catch -- government direction, government involvement, government incentives, and government oversight. We pay the government a lot of money. They better start listening to us. They better start leading.
So, here's my cyllabus (i shoulda paid attention in school). It won't be possible to put the whole plan in one blog. No one would read it. So, here are things pertaining to this plan that I will address in upcoming blogs, and definitely feel free to message or comment me with questions or comments.
The future of the auto industry
Unemployment
Banking and The Market
Real Estate
Health Care
International Relations
The Friggin IRS
Education is the key to EVERYTHING
Please, stay tuned.

What are you afraid of?
Now and then, I'll 'evaluate' myself ...by talking to myself.
Recently (in the car on my way home), I asked myself, "What are you afraid of?" As if, it was being asked by someone one could trust with their innermost.
First and foremost (atleast until it can be defined further), I'm not a big fan of hostile confrontation, especially verbal, between coworkers and friends. All others I'm at ease with. And, this is most definitely to a detriment. For instance, we needed to fabricate an addition to our tempering machine at work to make the flow of progress much more efficient. It was discussed for quite some time, but with everything going on in our shop, there was very little opportunity to progress. When that time did arrive and we discussed what materials to use, there was conflict; wood, which was plentiful and cheap, or aluminum and tin, which was more costly and an ordering process that would have taken up to 2 weeks. The wood won over because of one man's insistance (although we have a welder and machine on premise), and now we wait and see if it catches fire: hopefully not. What we did make out of aluminum (we have a metal bender), there was conflict over. Keeping in mind that I run this operation that the additional fabrication is for, the wood idea was from the 'manager' of another division (of which we are all a part of) ...that might be another post. Anyway, although neither of us has explicit authority over the other (unless my division is not in operation, then he does have authority over me), I allowed him to lead the process of this additional fabrication. Wow, this is getting longer than I thought it would be. Aaaannnd, back to the aluminum part ...after a few minutes of thought and discussion with a coworker, I had to step up. So, roughly 15 minutes after the discussion with the 'leader,' I had to disagree and tell him. I'm going to make these {this way}. He said 'ok.' Hrmmmm ....learn something.
I'm afraid of flying stinging insects, like wasps, hornets and bees. If the means are convenient, I'll atleast try to kill a bee, though. I don't get close enough to hornets and wasps to kill them. And they know it. They taunt me all the time. I hate those things. When I was a little kid, like 5 I think, I was stung on my upper-inner thigh (extremely close to something I would soon be close to) by a bee. That was a terrifying ordeal. Then, two years ago, helping my father-in-law trim a loquat tree in our backyard, I was swarmed and attacked by hornets. Since that day, you will hear a grown man wine about hornets and wasps.
I've had other fears in the past, but a great deal of them have been dealt with and there's nothing I can think of now that I fear ...save hornets, wasps, bees, and verbal hostile conflict between coworkers and friends. Thats all!
