It all seems simple enough - let's do this!&lt;/span&gt;  &lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms,sans-serif;"&gt;       Oh yeah! Victory is at hand. All we have to do is follow a few simple steps and - BAM, success. We will be free.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms,sans-serif;"&gt;       Internally motivated by encouragement achieved via a little knowledge and even less understanding a silent storm brews. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms,sans-serif;"&gt;The Void senses the motion and reacts as if it is alive. Tension begins to mount as the energy builds - much like the stretching of a rubber band.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;  &lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms,sans-serif;"&gt;       Temporarily blinded by the internal charge we are unconscious of the growing stress. We do not recognize our compromised position, having already detoured our success via transgressing the first revelation of our freedom. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms,sans-serif;"&gt;We have lost sight, ignoring the fact we need an External energy source for our motivation or guidance. Due to our perceived expertise we rush headlong into this challenge - we can do this!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;  &lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms,sans-serif;"&gt;       Pushing forward our position extends positively beyond the event horizon, but only momentarily. Suddenly, progress halts.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms,sans-serif;"&gt;Remarkably, we recognize the loss of momentum. We even acquiesce to our err, indicating internal awareness and growth. Consequently, we begin seeking external input, asking questions of any and all who will offer up a suggestion.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;  &lt;div&gt; &lt;/div&gt; &lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms,sans-serif;"&gt;       OH BOY!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div&gt; &lt;/div&gt; &lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms,sans-serif;"&gt;       The suggestions come streaming in. Virtually every size, shape and colour are presented. This will be weird. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms,sans-serif;"&gt;Sorting through the rhetoric for any incling of potential forward thrust is diverted. The acquired tension then pulls us back into orbit, riding the event horizon.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;  &lt;div&gt; &lt;/div&gt; &lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms,sans-serif;"&gt;       With the challenge remaining, another attempt is plausible - if so asserted. Failure to break free, perhaps even after multiple tries, draws our analytical attention. We decide it prudent to attain a single external source to guide us in our endeavor.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;  &lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms,sans-serif;"&gt;       Never having chose such a guide before reveals our unprepared status. Picking the correct one will be a low probability at best. Nevertheless, we assert ourselves and pick a guide based upon what we think or feel is just. Let the crap-shoot begin.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;  &lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms,sans-serif;"&gt;       Without fully understanding the interactive connections between our five revelations of truth, we choose a source that harmonizes with our current desire and perspective of "success".&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;  &lt;div&gt; &lt;/div&gt; &lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms,sans-serif;"&gt;       How many laps around this mountain will we take? Only time will tell.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div&gt; &lt;/div&gt; &lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms,sans-serif;"&gt;       As with all five of our discoveries, we bounce, sway and swagger through multiple variant designs - each time gaining what seems like headway - only to see a repeat return to orbit. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms,sans-serif;"&gt;Frustrated, we either give in and quit, pause for reassessment, or thrust forward with another concocted variant. If we do not quit, we will eventually pause and reconnoiter our circumstances.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;  &lt;div&gt; &lt;/div&gt; &lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms,sans-serif;"&gt;       It must be the guides I chose.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms,sans-serif;"&gt;       Perhaps it is the challenges I accepted.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms,sans-serif;"&gt;       Maybe I gave to the wrong people.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div&gt; &lt;/div&gt; &lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms,sans-serif;"&gt;       The statements of reconnoiter mount as we ponder. Frustration also grows - we are supposed to be free!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div&gt; &lt;/div&gt; &lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms,sans-serif;"&gt;       As the frustration overwhelms our conscious and we intently look at our statements of cause, a commonality becomes evident. Every statement contains the directive - "I". WHO is the core of our Void? &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms,sans-serif;"&gt;Despair sets in and we begin to see our expectations. They are all, once again, focused upon personal gain FOR personal reasons. Yes, they are self-centered, defying the very rule to achieve a break away path.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;  &lt;div&gt; &lt;/div&gt; &lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms,sans-serif;"&gt;       &lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;THIS IS IMPOSSIBLE!&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div&gt; &lt;/div&gt; &lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms,sans-serif;"&gt;       Our internal motivation is squelched by our frustration and despair and hope dissipates. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms,sans-serif;"&gt;Will we continue our pursuit of truth and gain our freedom? &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms,sans-serif;"&gt;Such will be known when it is known.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;  &lt;div&gt; &lt;/div&gt; &lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms,sans-serif;"&gt;       We must now focus on our expectations. Congruently, convenience rears its head by restating the simplicity of the steps.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms,sans-serif;"&gt;If we discontinue we will settle for Status Quo - slowly, particle by particle being consumed by our Void.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div&gt; &lt;/div&gt; &lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms,sans-serif;"&gt;       The world - the culture we inhabit - by virtue of its own unconscious orbit of a consuming Void tells us we must pursue release FOR our own reasons. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms,sans-serif;"&gt;Pockets of society, consumed of their own desires issue up a particular brand of cause FOR pursuit - leading to their Void.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;  &lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms,sans-serif;"&gt;       It becomes quite evident the appropriate FOR is rather mysterious. Fame, fortune, status, success, wealth, security, etc., etc. The offers FOR abound. Which FOR will empower freedom from our Void?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;  &lt;div&gt; &lt;/div&gt; &lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms,sans-serif;"&gt;       If our orbit ends in total decay, the core-eruption of self via doing things FOR self - then Charity should be the real FOR. Coming to this conclusion and solution we project one final all out quest for freedom. Unfortunately, the results do not vary and we are returned to orbit.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;  &lt;div&gt; &lt;/div&gt; &lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms,sans-serif;"&gt;       This push-pull cycle leaves us desperately asking, "What are we to push ahead FOR?" Death is the ultimate result no matter what impetus we choose. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms,sans-serif;"&gt;Then we find one more venue. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;  &lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms,sans-serif;"&gt;       If death is the result, maybe we need to find its contrast - life? For the first time we stumble upon something of substance, something capable of sustaining ample motivation to break free. Innately we know this is what we will do this FOR.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;  &lt;div&gt; &lt;/div&gt; &lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms,sans-serif;"&gt;       Realizing this, that we do this FOR life, we find we have an even larger question to answer. What is life?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div&gt; &lt;/div&gt; &lt;div&gt; &lt;/div&gt; &lt;div&gt;Thank you for reading.&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div&gt;Perhaps you will receive the hidden gifts within....&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div&gt; &lt;/div&gt; &lt;div&gt;theunclericproject&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4541311636203923851-7841167740397744068?l=theunclericproject.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://theunclericproject.blogspot.com/feeds/7841167740397744068/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://theunclericproject.blogspot.com/2009/05/void-pt-7.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4541311636203923851/posts/default/7841167740397744068'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4541311636203923851/posts/default/7841167740397744068'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://theunclericproject.blogspot.com/2009/05/void-pt-7.html' title='The Void pt. 7'/><author><name>Political Ninja</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/02276483983711652379</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='33' height='26' src='http://bp0.blogger.com/_p1tWiM0igxE/SHCZEOdi4ZI/AAAAAAAABcw/QG0rooYRbZw/S220/17_podborka_48.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4541311636203923851.post-1352073128922946138</id><published>2009-05-15T07:54:00.001-07:00</published><updated>2009-05-15T07:54:54.804-07:00</updated><title type='text'>The Void pt. 6</title><content type='html'>&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms,sans-serif;"&gt;We have taken five conscious laps or orbits around our Void since we awoke to its influence. While each cycle has brought us closer to our own demise, we have gained much knowledge. Knowledge, however, is only the start. We must be able to piece the information attained in an order capable of supporting a solution.&lt;/span&gt;  &lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms,sans-serif;"&gt;       This is where "the going gets rough and the rough get going". This is the moment of assembly, a prerequisite for action rather than reaction.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div&gt; &lt;/div&gt; &lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms,sans-serif;"&gt;       Five cognizant cycles have initiated this process of assembly by revealing truths of substance. In as much, we now know we are the core of our own spiritual decay through our performance of a routine focused upon gratification of our child&lt;u&gt;ish&lt;/u&gt; attitude, all the while we empower it by our complacency which appears to have begun as far back as we can reconnoiter due to our errant perceptions of the external world, generating fear of the unknown.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;  &lt;div&gt; &lt;/div&gt; &lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms,sans-serif;"&gt;       Wow. That is certainly a mouthful!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div&gt; &lt;/div&gt; &lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms,sans-serif;"&gt;       But HOW do we chart a course out of this orbit?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div&gt; &lt;/div&gt; &lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms,sans-serif;"&gt;       Like always, we must first draw a contrast. IF we comprehend our current position, what would be the opposing position?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms,sans-serif;"&gt;Let's take this a step at a time.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms,sans-serif;"&gt;       If we are the core of our spiritual decay we can readily assume an "other" is at the core of our spiritual growth.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms,sans-serif;"&gt;       If we have accomplished this orbit via performing a routine focused upon our child-ISH attitude, we can safely assume we need a routine focused upon our child-LIKE attitude. Therein, the opposite would be a regimen of behavior involving &lt;em&gt;Change, Challenge &lt;/em&gt;and &lt;em&gt;Charity.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;  &lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms,sans-serif;"&gt;       If this routine has been empowered by our complacency, the opposing regimen would be empowered by aggressive action.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms,sans-serif;"&gt;       If this deleterious cycle began as far back as we can recall, without a succinct cause advent or event, we must then place our past in a particular value perspective. In other words, the opposing value accepts the past as just that - the past - what's done is done, it is dead.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;  &lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms,sans-serif;"&gt;       If our errant perception of the external world generated a false impression or fear, which is the same as illusion, fantasy and/or mirage, the opposite would acknowledge that which is. It would be a position in which one &lt;u&gt;f&lt;/u&gt;ervently &lt;u&gt;a&lt;/u&gt;cknowledges &lt;u&gt;i&lt;/u&gt;ntelligent &lt;u&gt;th&lt;/u&gt;ought - what we may call Faith.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;  &lt;div&gt; &lt;/div&gt; &lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms,sans-serif;"&gt;       Given these opposing positions, we could summarize this as:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms,sans-serif;"&gt;          We need spiritual guidance from an external source to help us form a routine focused upon feeding or enabling our child-like abilities to Change, accept challenges and perform Charity with aggressive intentional action while we accept our past as a "done-deal" having no substantial authority in our existence so as to remove illusions and begin a process of faith.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;  &lt;div&gt; &lt;/div&gt; &lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms,sans-serif;"&gt;       WOW. Another mouthful!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div&gt; &lt;/div&gt; &lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms,sans-serif;"&gt;       While that puts the opposing perspective and position in our conscious, it still does not answer HOW.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms,sans-serif;"&gt;       HOW does one garner an external spiritual guide?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms,sans-serif;"&gt;       HOW does one form a new regimen of Child-like behavior?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms,sans-serif;"&gt;       HOW does one perform it with aggression?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms,sans-serif;"&gt;       HOW does one accept their past as 'dead'?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms,sans-serif;"&gt;       HOW does one fervently acknowledge intelligent thought?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div&gt; &lt;/div&gt; &lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms,sans-serif;"&gt;       This is where the "rubber meats the road". How is actually rather simple, though we want to make it complex. Nike said it best in, "Just Do It!". This is the quintessential element. We have to DO something to engage the process and it must be conscious, intentional, aggressive action so as to provide us with the necessary feedback to determine whether our act gained positive results.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;  &lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms,sans-serif;"&gt;       Here is a simple prospectus.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms,sans-serif;"&gt;       Every action we do or don't take garners, if our eyes are open, a piece of information - what we call knowledge. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms,sans-serif;"&gt;That piece of data must then be placed with other pieces in a manner that 'fits' - just like puzzle pieces. This is what we call understanding.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms,sans-serif;"&gt;       As more pieces assemble the puzzle displays a 'picture' via interpretation. We must then apply a new act according to the picture we see developing. This is what we call wisdom.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;  &lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms,sans-serif;"&gt;After we have done so, reactions, both internal and external occur. These reactions will generate new puzzle pieces to deal with - new knowledge to rout through the protocols.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;  &lt;div&gt; &lt;/div&gt; &lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms,sans-serif;"&gt;       Thus, plotting a course out of our deleterious cycle is a progressive regimen requiring consistent &lt;em&gt;Change, Challenge&lt;/em&gt; and &lt;em&gt;Charity&lt;/em&gt; empowered by Faith. To steal a song's phrase, "This is how we do it, do it".&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;  &lt;div&gt; &lt;/div&gt; &lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms,sans-serif;"&gt;       Welcome to the beginning of a journey, not a destination.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div&gt; &lt;/div&gt; &lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms,sans-serif;"&gt;       While all this answers the HOW in general terms, its simplicity will most likely leave most of us askew - as we have tried some or all of these before without success. We may fail in spite of knowing HOW.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;  &lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms,sans-serif;"&gt;       We will also look at the world around us, see people taking positive action without success and others being complacent with success - all this is temporary and illusive. We will all feel the tug of Comfort, Convenience and Control pulling us back toward the Void from time to time and begin to wonder, what are we doing this FOR?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;  &lt;div&gt; &lt;/div&gt; &lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms,sans-serif;"&gt;       Like the movie The Matrix, being plugged in can be a very pleasing death.

The revelation of how much we have played a role in this dance pierces our heart with even more pain, as if discovering WHO, WHAT, WHERE and WHEN were insufficient impetus to garner our sincere attention.&lt;/span&gt;  &lt;div&gt; &lt;/div&gt; &lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms,sans-serif;"&gt;       Now it is WHY that consumes our thoughts.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div&gt; &lt;/div&gt; &lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms,sans-serif;"&gt;       We think about our accomplishments, the trials we've overcome and the tests we've passed. We know we are not beyond ration and reason, having a fair amount of knowledge, understanding and wisdom - yet - we are still at the epicenter of our own destruction.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;  &lt;div&gt; &lt;/div&gt; &lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms,sans-serif;"&gt;       Is it plausible we are masochistic?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms,sans-serif;"&gt;       Do we enjoy decay?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms,sans-serif;"&gt;       Are we simply ignorant and unaware of it?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div&gt; &lt;/div&gt; &lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms,sans-serif;"&gt;       The questions real in our mind. This is our moment of self flagellation as if to say Mea Culpa, Mea Culpa. Such a good beating should draw out an answer, but none comes forth. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms,sans-serif;"&gt;Again we tire, giving in to the circumstance for what it is. Our mind settles and we begin a new portion of query from an objective state - hopefully.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;  &lt;div&gt; &lt;/div&gt; &lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms,sans-serif;"&gt;       With achieved objectivity at hand we begin to realize that though we are the major actor on this stage, there are many other actors and even props contributing to the play. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms,sans-serif;"&gt;Utilizing the information garnered from our WHEN discovery, we look for the transition wherein we willfully chose a childish approach to life. This is not so easy, there are many, many occasions. One thing is obvious however - every occasion possesses certain characteristics only now discernible.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;  &lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms,sans-serif;"&gt;       The first we notice is the overwhelming desire to be accepted by those around us. It is powerful, as if it is the meaning of our existence. The appropriate clothes, hair style, vernacular, etc. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms,sans-serif;"&gt;This, of course, gives way to an intense desire to prove our value or worth, supposedly to our self. Ironically, it appears such is merely vanity, for we are not unique, rather we are a composite of our environ - by choice. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms,sans-serif;"&gt;Nevertheless, our Ego steps forth as a master, leading to a service of me, myself and I in the most obvious and arrogant ways - including actions of defense when no offense was propagated.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;  &lt;div&gt; &lt;/div&gt; &lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms,sans-serif;"&gt;       Ironically, when looking back, we see many hurdles and warnings to our pursuit of entry into orbit. Unfortunately, we were consumed with a rebellious attitude, assuming we had attained significant experience to equate to wisdom. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms,sans-serif;"&gt;Examples of this behavior mount as we look at our life from an external port. Even when we attempted service to something or somebody else, we see a self-suiting reason at the heart of the matter.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;  &lt;div&gt; &lt;/div&gt; &lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms,sans-serif;"&gt;       Sadness emits as we wonder if there is any hope at all. Are these behaviors the subconscious ruts holding our travels in orbit?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div&gt; &lt;/div&gt; &lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms,sans-serif;"&gt;       Then, looking at the result of our over active Ego, we see just how close it was to confidence, yet not. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms,sans-serif;"&gt;That's it! Lack of confidence! We re-acted in stead of acting, but why?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;  &lt;div&gt; &lt;/div&gt; &lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms,sans-serif;"&gt;       We sense a multitude of reasons - potential rejection, plausible loss of social status, probable loneliness, the list grows as we continue. Hundreds of 'reasons' present themselves. Pondering, we start to see how false all these reasons were and are - they are simply lies.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;  &lt;div&gt; &lt;/div&gt; &lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms,sans-serif;"&gt;       What is a lie?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div&gt; &lt;/div&gt; &lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms,sans-serif;"&gt;       It is most certainly something that does not exist outside of our own imagination. It is non-extant - a nothing. Then again, our Void is a nothing, at least in appearance - is it too a lie? Why would we be influenced by a lie? &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;  &lt;div&gt; &lt;/div&gt; &lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms,sans-serif;"&gt;       Then it happens. We recognize a common denominator in our choice to believe, accept and follow lies - FEAR. Fear of the unknown, fear of the truth - fear. While indeed we chose our orbital path, we did so out of false evidence appearing real (F-E-A-R).&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;  &lt;div&gt; &lt;/div&gt; &lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms,sans-serif;"&gt;       Would we have been rejected?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms,sans-serif;"&gt;       Are we being honest with our self?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms,sans-serif;"&gt;       Did self-service fulfill us?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div&gt; &lt;/div&gt; &lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms,sans-serif;"&gt;       Naturally, we have to question why we would fear that which really is, that is, the truth. Would not truth be better than a lie? &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms,sans-serif;"&gt;If a lie is really nothing, non-extant outside our mind, then truth would be extant outside our mind. This could be scary.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;  &lt;div&gt; &lt;/div&gt; &lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms,sans-serif;"&gt;       Contemplation of this scenario shows further fear of truth because of truth's potential. Truth is, therefore it does not request change - it manufactures it - and &lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;u&gt;Change&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt; is contrary to &lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;u&gt;Comfort&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;  &lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms,sans-serif;"&gt;       This gives reminder of another statement made by the one called The Christ, "Ye shall know the truth and the truth shall make you free." Such is scary to one bound by &lt;em&gt;Comfort&lt;/em&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;  &lt;div&gt; &lt;/div&gt; &lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms,sans-serif;"&gt;       WHO, WHAT, WHERE, WHEN and now WHY have become fairly clear, but we have not been freed from our orbit. This brings us back to our set aside question - HOW, HOW do we plot a course out of this destructive orbit?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;  &lt;div&gt; &lt;/div&gt; &lt;div&gt;Until pt 6 ...&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div&gt;theunclericproject&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4541311636203923851-7427384288510082365?l=theunclericproject.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://theunclericproject.blogspot.com/feeds/7427384288510082365/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://theunclericproject.blogspot.com/2009/05/void-pt-5.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4541311636203923851/posts/default/7427384288510082365'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4541311636203923851/posts/default/7427384288510082365'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://theunclericproject.blogspot.com/2009/05/void-pt-5.html' title='The Void pt. 5'/><author><name>Political Ninja</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/02276483983711652379</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='33' height='26' src='http://bp0.blogger.com/_p1tWiM0igxE/SHCZEOdi4ZI/AAAAAAAABcw/QG0rooYRbZw/S220/17_podborka_48.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4541311636203923851.post-2284196407330023453</id><published>2009-05-15T07:52:00.001-07:00</published><updated>2009-05-15T07:52:21.267-07:00</updated><title type='text'>The Void pt. 4</title><content type='html'>&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms,sans-serif;"&gt; Realizing we are the core source of our probable demise puts us in an awkward position. We have managed, some way, to trap our self in a deleterious orbit. We sense that if we can resolve WHEN we did so we will have better potential to break free. &lt;/span&gt;  &lt;div&gt; &lt;/div&gt; &lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms,sans-serif;"&gt;       WHEN did we begin this orbit around the great nothing?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div&gt; &lt;/div&gt; &lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms,sans-serif;"&gt;       Again we scour our discrete elements for clues. Perhaps they contain a residue, some trackable and traceable sign capable of indicating an entry point. As we do so, we see many if not most of our elements as self-serving in nature. This will be a difficult task as we will have to look deep into our history.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;  &lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms,sans-serif;"&gt;       Looking back, emotions are stirred at every corner. Within these waves we are reminded of a time of freedom, a time when much of what we did was without major consequence. We remember Childhood - a time devoid of the Void, at least that is how it felt.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;  &lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms,sans-serif;"&gt;       It was a time of wonder. Everything was an experiment. We were sponges, absorbing anything that came at us. Mystery abounded and we were constantly investigating. We sought to please others, if only to garner their approval. We definitely enjoyed others with a reckless abandon not since experienced.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;  &lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms,sans-serif;"&gt;       Indeed there were moments of selfishness, but we remember a heart with a great ability to transcend the limits of self. We were sensitive to the feelings and needs of others, ready to act at a moments notice. We were, however, incapable of specifically identifying the intellectual complexities involved, we simply loved.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;  &lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms,sans-serif;"&gt;       We remember our attitude. We were always willing to accept virtually any challenge, though our attention span and patience level prohibited solving the grand complexities. It was incredible, this thing called childhood.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;  &lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms,sans-serif;"&gt;       &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms,sans-serif;"&gt;       After this brief rendezvous with our past, reality and honesty return. Yes, we are romanticizing our childhood. There were many times of selfish activity and uncontrolled emotional upheaval, (most of us would not choose to return to it and start over) but we were not held responsible - we were under authority, unable to choose or succinctly direct our path alone.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;  &lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms,sans-serif;"&gt;       This leads us to conclude some outside force, perhaps parents, relatives, friends, school or other external advent as the preeminent force behind our path's direction.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;  &lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms,sans-serif;"&gt;       Such must also have sufficient energy to alter or destroy the 'child-like' attitude of openness and discovery, diverting the energy toward the empowerment of the 'child-ish' attitude of me, myself and I. It would seem to have to be, barring physical abnormality, a traumatic event or advent in order to do so, as children are very resilient.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;  &lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms,sans-serif;"&gt;       Simultaneously, our logic brings to bear the very nature of being a unique, physically separate entity. As such, there is an innate capacity to be self-centered via individual sentience. The world revolves around us. Childhood and thereby children would be susceptible to these multiple influences of self-focus capable of rendering an entry into orbit - the WHEN as it were. What we can safely assume therein is only the behavior surrounding the WHEN.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;  &lt;div&gt; &lt;/div&gt; &lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms,sans-serif;"&gt;       Given all we have surmised is true, a child would continue a path of &lt;em&gt;Change, Challenge &lt;/em&gt;and &lt;em&gt;Charity&lt;/em&gt; until a sufficient and unchecked influence altered it. Thus, we enter orbit around the Void through a pulling away from the external world via seeking &lt;em&gt;Comfort, Convenience &lt;/em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;u&gt;or&lt;/u&gt; &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;Control&lt;/em&gt; as our source of encouragement.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;  &lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms,sans-serif;"&gt;       WHEN this occurs may be any time within our human development from Childhood to Adulthood (and such prevents Maturity). Thus, the WHEN we are looking for is not a specific event or advent external, rather it is a witness of transition from a child-like attitude to a child-ish attitude toward the external world and existence.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;  &lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms,sans-serif;"&gt;       This gives a little clarity to an ancient statement familiar to Western culture - a statement given by one called The Christ, "Thou must be child-like to enter the Kingdom of Heaven."&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;  &lt;div&gt; &lt;/div&gt; &lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms,sans-serif;"&gt;       This revelation leaves us, via the contrast, wondering why we would do such a thing or allow it to happen to us. Nevertheless, we now have ascertained the WHO, WHAT, WHERE and WHEN - leaving us to investigate the WHY.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;  &lt;div&gt; &lt;/div&gt; &lt;div&gt;Until pt 4...&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div&gt;theunclericproject&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4541311636203923851-2284196407330023453?l=theunclericproject.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://theunclericproject.blogspot.com/feeds/2284196407330023453/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://theunclericproject.blogspot.com/2009/05/void-pt-4.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4541311636203923851/posts/default/2284196407330023453'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4541311636203923851/posts/default/2284196407330023453'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://theunclericproject.blogspot.com/2009/05/void-pt-4.html' title='The Void pt. 4'/><author><name>Political Ninja</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/02276483983711652379</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='33' height='26' src='http://bp0.blogger.com/_p1tWiM0igxE/SHCZEOdi4ZI/AAAAAAAABcw/QG0rooYRbZw/S220/17_podborka_48.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4541311636203923851.post-2701767933638346993</id><published>2009-05-15T07:50:00.001-07:00</published><updated>2009-05-15T07:50:53.737-07:00</updated><title type='text'>The Void pt. 3</title><content type='html'>&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms,sans-serif;"&gt;With our routine focused upon &lt;em&gt;Comfort, Convenience&lt;/em&gt; and &lt;em&gt;Control&lt;/em&gt; there is a generation of a Void, projecting a gravitational force that holds us in a slow, steadily decaying orbit around the Void. We have tried to break free, only to realize the force is greater than our capability, leaving us in a conscious state of insufficiency. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms,sans-serif;"&gt;The whole of our life is part and parcel of this erotic dance of death, until we can discover and destroy the source of the Void's power.&lt;/span&gt;  &lt;div&gt; &lt;/div&gt; &lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms,sans-serif;"&gt;       As we are revolving around the Void, the power source must be directly correlated to our position. Consequently we continue introspection, but with a new perspective. "How many licks does it take to get to the center of a Tootsie Roll Pop?"&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;  &lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms,sans-serif;"&gt;       In locating the Void's core we first confirm our sum's orbital path. In such devise, we re-address the discrete elements of our life as our sum's orbit in relation to our self position, as we are succinctly at the core of our discrete elements.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;  &lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms,sans-serif;"&gt;       As we do, it is revealed our elements are arranged to compliment the routine of &lt;em&gt;Comfort, Convenience &lt;/em&gt;and &lt;em&gt;Control&lt;/em&gt; - assisting the Void's continuance. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms,sans-serif;"&gt;These elements are the result of our choices, meaning our intention - conscious or not - is to empower the routine.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;  &lt;div&gt; &lt;/div&gt; &lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms,sans-serif;"&gt;       If these assertions be true, we must then discover contrasting forces of form to help reveal the source of empowerment.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div&gt; &lt;/div&gt; &lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms,sans-serif;"&gt;       &lt;em&gt;Comfort&lt;/em&gt; is a state of ease and rest, a type of stasis. A diametrically opposed force would therein be difficult and dynamic. Thus, its opposing force of contrast is &lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Change&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;  &lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms,sans-serif;"&gt;       &lt;em&gt;Convenience&lt;/em&gt; is a state of personal order, wherein access to an object is clear and simple, requiring very little extension of effort. An opposite force would have an order outside of personal device, wherein access to an object is relatively complex, requiring extension of effort to attain the object or objective - equating to &lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;Challenge&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;  &lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms,sans-serif;"&gt;       &lt;em&gt;Control&lt;/em&gt; is a relative perspective, wherein we are the master of our environ. Herein we manipulate circumstances to fill our desires. Thus, a contrary force would accept circumstances as they are and look toward fulfilling the desires of others. Only &lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;Charity&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; fits this bill.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;  &lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Trebuchet MS;"&gt;       In summation, &lt;em&gt;Comfort&lt;/em&gt; is relative to self-provision, &lt;em&gt;Convenience&lt;/em&gt; to self-protection and &lt;em&gt;Control&lt;/em&gt; to self-promotion. In poetic irony, the discovery of the WHO is harmonious with the discovery of the WHERE.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;  &lt;div&gt; &lt;/div&gt; &lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms,sans-serif;"&gt;       In all this introspection and analysis it is readily apparent we are empowering our Void's gravitational pull and thereby steadily destroying our self via our self. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms,sans-serif;"&gt;This then begs the question, How long before our self generated decay pulls us beyond the event horizon to the point of no return, no escape?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;  &lt;div&gt; &lt;/div&gt; &lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms,sans-serif;"&gt;       Given we have a limited life span and a definable growth process we must continue questioning.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms,sans-serif;"&gt; As we have discovered the WHO, WHAT and now WHERE, we continue with, "WHEN did we become so destructively self oriented?"&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;  &lt;div&gt; &lt;/div&gt; &lt;div&gt;Until part 4 ....&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div&gt;theunclericproject&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4541311636203923851-2701767933638346993?l=theunclericproject.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://theunclericproject.blogspot.com/feeds/2701767933638346993/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://theunclericproject.blogspot.com/2009/05/void-pt-3.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4541311636203923851/posts/default/2701767933638346993'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4541311636203923851/posts/default/2701767933638346993'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://theunclericproject.blogspot.com/2009/05/void-pt-3.html' title='The Void pt. 3'/><author><name>Political Ninja</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/02276483983711652379</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='33' height='26' src='http://bp0.blogger.com/_p1tWiM0igxE/SHCZEOdi4ZI/AAAAAAAABcw/QG0rooYRbZw/S220/17_podborka_48.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4541311636203923851.post-2161493122070849285</id><published>2009-05-15T07:49:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2009-05-15T07:50:11.575-07:00</updated><title type='text'>The Void pt. 2</title><content type='html'>&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms,sans-serif;"&gt; We ponder the 'HOW'. &lt;/span&gt; &lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Trebuchet MS;"&gt;       Simultaneously we react, instinctual flailing about for a moment like an insect when it first realizes it has been caught in a spider's web. It's not pretty.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms,sans-serif;"&gt;       Realizing nothing has changed and the Void still has us safely in its field of influence we stop flailing, only to be left in a state of awe, amazed at the Void's power. HOW must be set aside temporarily as we determine WHAT. What is this nothing sucking the very life out of our being?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;  &lt;div&gt; &lt;/div&gt; &lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms,sans-serif;"&gt;       If we are to gain victory, this enemic force must be identified. What do we know &lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;u&gt;about&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; it?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div&gt; &lt;/div&gt; &lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms,sans-serif;"&gt;       From our initial encounter we have determined WHO it is connected to, that is, our self - somehow. It obviously projects gravitational force capable of drawing us into it - somehow. It is also directly proportional to Status Quo - somehow.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;  &lt;div&gt; &lt;/div&gt; &lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms,sans-serif;"&gt;       If all this be true, what is it that Status Quo generates?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div&gt; &lt;/div&gt; &lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms,sans-serif;"&gt;       Contemplating further, we find ourselves essaying a variety of elements; our job, our career and the time we devote to it, the people we surround our self with, the possessions we have accumulated, etc., etc. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms,sans-serif;"&gt;All such things, however, cannot complete the definition of this Void - yet they are all connected to it.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;  &lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms,sans-serif;"&gt;       Then, as we try ourselves through introspection, a flash of light exposes a little bit of perspective. It is EVERYTHING! Yes, everything combined, the sum of what we have experienced, accumulated and achieved - nothing, really. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms,sans-serif;"&gt;We carry out our routine daily, performing a pattern of operations as if programed like an automaton. Are we an Artificial Intelligence?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;  &lt;div&gt; &lt;/div&gt; &lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms,sans-serif;"&gt;       This cycle, this pattern of behavior, this routine - it has formed an inescapable path in that the wheels of our conscious are kept within the ruts of our subconscious through our repeated travels.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;  &lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms,sans-serif;"&gt;       Ironically, we have been relatively unaware - comfortable in the cycle as it provides us with a sense of convenience. We know what to expect - no real challenges, simply the same ol' same ol'. We feel in control as our life is mysteriously sucked away, particle by particle, until we are no more. Yes! This is WHAT it is - our routine of comfort, convenience and control.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;  &lt;div&gt; &lt;/div&gt; &lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms,sans-serif;"&gt;       This emotional upheaval has given us the opportunity to perceive imminent doom by issuing a clear warning - conceiving in us an awareness of self - the WHO of the matter. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms,sans-serif;"&gt;Now, as we introspect, the routine is easy recognized as a formation of pattern, a cycle devoid of hope for all is a constant repeat of comfort, convenience and control. We must go deeper.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;  &lt;div&gt; &lt;/div&gt; &lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms,sans-serif;"&gt;Having the WHO and WHAT, we need the WHERE.

I have decided to 'clear the deck' and start from scratch an investigation into the most incredible creatures known to human kind - that's right - I am investigating women and the feminine perspective.&lt;/div&gt;  &lt;div&gt; &lt;/div&gt; &lt;div&gt;While indeed every man does this - here is the twist. I have just dumped all previous experience from the mental hard drive into the trash bin so as to facilitate a rebuild and reboot of, well, the whole kit and caboodle. This began a few weeks ago and is finally taking on some form. I hope you all enjoy the following experience...&lt;/div&gt;  &lt;div&gt; &lt;/div&gt; &lt;div&gt;     Here in Texas there is a popular store chain called 'Hastings'. These are much like B.Dalton book stores though they are advertised as entertainment stores. Within these they have the Hard Cover Cafe. I have found a hang out spot for my experimentation.&lt;/div&gt;  &lt;div&gt;     Anyway, after processing an event a few days ago I feel the need to share. With my newly formed appreciation for female conversation I initiated a talk with two ladies concerning life issues, that is, what issues concern them.&lt;/div&gt;  &lt;div&gt;These were very close friends physically quite different from each other. One was naturally dominant in traits, having dark hair and eyes, while the other recessant, having bright blue eyes and blond hair. Both were very attractive and relatively fit.&lt;/div&gt;  &lt;div&gt;     Upon asking questions it was revealed they were childhood friends. It also became quite evident the one possessing dominant physical characteristics was also dominant in behavior - answering the questions asked of her recessive friend (Hmmm). I quickly exposed this to garner better 'unprotected' answers.&lt;/div&gt;  &lt;div&gt;     As the conversation developed it was revealed the dominant girl was married and the recessive single, though dating a man she attributed as being 'in-love' with. Naturally, this stocked the proverbial 'why him' question.&lt;/div&gt;  &lt;div&gt;     She then described the relationship as unique, in that other parties prior to him were more readily influenced by her charms, quickly becoming her toys as it were. This one, however, was a challenge, aloof and untamable - she liked it though she was frustrated by it. Thus these attributes were filed into the "Hmmm" file for future reference.&lt;/div&gt;  &lt;div&gt;     Nevertheless, the most remarkable statement occurred as the conversation was wrapping up. I informed them of my quest for knowledge and understanding of the feminine perspective, thanked them for their input and then they volunteered a "SECRET".&lt;/div&gt;  &lt;div&gt;     &lt;/div&gt; &lt;div&gt;     The confession went, "Here is a secret. It is about what women want.

Recently I have had contact with Coil Tubing.&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div&gt;   &lt;/div&gt; &lt;div&gt;   Given circumstances, I would like to interview you concerning the subject case with emphasis upon the 'characters' and statements made in the proceedings to date.&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div&gt;   As the case goes to final trial in August I assume certain details will be off limits. With this understanding I reveal the context and purpose of the requested interview. &lt;/div&gt; &lt;div&gt;   It is my goal to accomplish a preliminary or 'pilot' documentary in which I desire to expose the psychological framework of the involved parties and institutions involved in the case.&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div&gt;   Such information will be used in a 'Free Market' venue rather than 'legal'. Think "Morgan Spurlock" and the influential documentary "Supersize Me".&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div&gt;   Currently, this documentary is titled "Where the Bear Goes and the Bull Grows".&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div&gt;   &lt;/div&gt; &lt;div&gt;   Obviously this is a personal project meaning it is being pursued in a low budget 'gorrilla warfare' modus for the purpose of garnering greater support in the near future for a full production.&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div&gt;   Therein, any information you provide concerning the case will be confidential and limited to production parties until post-production is completed. At such time you will receive a copy of your participation for consent prior to any public presentation or release. Additionally, prior to public release you will, as a direct participant, receive a full copy of the preliminary documentary for your comments.&lt;/div&gt;  &lt;div&gt;   &lt;/div&gt; &lt;div&gt;   I hope to accomplish this short interview in the first week of May. I believe it will take no more than 20-30 minutes including set-up and closure as there is no 'camera crew', rather my self a camcorder and a tripod.&lt;/div&gt;  &lt;div&gt; &lt;/div&gt; &lt;div&gt;   I thank you for any participation in advance and look forward to the interview.&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div&gt;   If you have any questions, comments or suggestions they will be appreciated and received in gratitude.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4541311636203923851-4097258960096154374?l=theunclericproject.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://theunclericproject.blogspot.com/feeds/4097258960096154374/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://theunclericproject.blogspot.com/2009/05/re-case-08-07-07397.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4541311636203923851/posts/default/4097258960096154374'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4541311636203923851/posts/default/4097258960096154374'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://theunclericproject.blogspot.com/2009/05/re-case-08-07-07397.html' title='RE: CASE 08-07-07397'/><author><name>Political Ninja</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/02276483983711652379</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='33' height='26' src='http://bp0.blogger.com/_p1tWiM0igxE/SHCZEOdi4ZI/AAAAAAAABcw/QG0rooYRbZw/S220/17_podborka_48.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4541311636203923851.post-8541682339909170569</id><published>2009-04-29T10:22:00.001-07:00</published><updated>2009-04-29T10:22:36.281-07:00</updated><title type='text'>ECONOMIC SOCIOPATHY</title><content type='html'>&lt;div&gt;Hay Everyone,&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div&gt; &lt;/div&gt; &lt;div&gt;Just needed to transpose a thought - perhaps your feedback will help.&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div&gt;Please forward this if you would - something to talk about - I have had allot of meditation time and could use the feedback.&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div&gt; &lt;/div&gt; &lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;ECONOMIC SOCIOPATHY&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;/div&gt; &lt;div&gt; &lt;/div&gt; &lt;div&gt;In the functional operation and philosophy of theunclericproject there are certain methodologies relevant to "The Nature of Things".&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div&gt; &lt;/div&gt; &lt;div&gt;Given such, the pattern is applicable to human economic perception as well.&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div&gt; &lt;/div&gt; &lt;div&gt;When we become Adolescents, we learn, through a process of experiences, the concept of Value. As we age through Adulthood, we learn the concept of Price. After more experience we reach maturity in which we understand the concept of Cost.&lt;/div&gt;  &lt;div&gt; &lt;/div&gt; &lt;div&gt;Naturally, all things can be placed into this Value/Price/Cost trinary feedback loop as it is directly proportional to Knowledge, Understanding and Wisdom.&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div&gt; &lt;/div&gt; &lt;div&gt;Value is relative to our motivation or spirit, proportional to the amount of information (knowledge) we have attained. &lt;/div&gt; &lt;div&gt;Price is relative to our intellect or soul via our ability to interpret a medium of exchange for a Value based upon the categorization of the pieces of information (knowledge) we have attained, equating to our Understanding.&lt;/div&gt;  &lt;div&gt;Cost is relative to the physical aspect of result. A transaction involving Value and Price having reached fruition gives us the ability to determine the actual benefit, this equates to Wisdom.&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div&gt; &lt;/div&gt; &lt;div&gt;Given this functional trinary energy exchange feedback loop, we must then look for the energy source providing power to the loop. Therein, as all human exchange comes from another variable trinary entity composed of Need, Want and Passion.&lt;/div&gt;  &lt;div&gt; &lt;/div&gt; &lt;div&gt;Need is a physical aspect such as hunger. Want is a psychological aspect such as will or desire, reflected in a goal. Passion is the spiritual aspect such as a dream or vision.&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div&gt; &lt;/div&gt; &lt;div&gt;The energy output of this entity flows into and empowers the Value/Price/Cost feedback entity.&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div&gt; &lt;/div&gt; &lt;div&gt;The relevance of these entities has to do with the distortions currently overpowering humanity via a culture replete with overwhelming materialism, promoted by 'power players' and socially influential parties.&lt;/div&gt;  &lt;div&gt; &lt;/div&gt; &lt;div&gt;Disbalance, that is, an overt focus upon Price, via the promotion of wants as if they are needs (functional Greed) has distorted human endeavors displacing our behaviors from the natural order of things resulting in decay or corruption.&lt;/div&gt;  &lt;div&gt; &lt;/div&gt; &lt;div&gt;This brings us to the human dilemma of "Economic Sociopathy".&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div&gt; &lt;/div&gt; &lt;div&gt;In all accord, disharmonic operation will eventually result in collapse of a trinary feedback loop if left unchecked. Such is currently occurring in our modern economic societies - especially the "west".&lt;/div&gt;  &lt;div&gt; &lt;/div&gt; &lt;div&gt;Sociopathy occurs when Want or desire overwhelm the concepts of Need and Passion, removing the concept of Cost and inflating the perception of Value via the narrow margin of temporal or immediate physical gratification.&lt;/div&gt;  &lt;div&gt; &lt;/div&gt; &lt;div&gt;Biblicly, this corruption is congruent with the well known phrase, "The love of money is the root of all evil."&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div&gt; &lt;/div&gt; &lt;div&gt;To understand this, we must break this statement apart and rebuild it in a process called expounding. There are four words relevant to this expounding, e.g.; love, money, root and evil.&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div&gt; &lt;/div&gt; &lt;div&gt;Therein, "love" is from "eros", meaning physical pleasure or sensation. Money is physical possession in the form of a medium of exchange, agricultural provision (land) and livestock: in other words, all that is physically necessary for human survival and endeavor. Root is relevant to the process of environmental inputs or circumstances and Evil is destruction relevant to non-cyclical reproduction or stagnation.&lt;/div&gt;  &lt;div&gt; &lt;/div&gt; &lt;div&gt;Given such, "The love of money is the root of all evil" can be expounded to: "The physical adoration of material possessions is the process by which all non-reproductive behavior occurs".&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div&gt; &lt;/div&gt; &lt;div&gt;Taking this back to our Value/Price/Cost feedback entity, we can see that such a disbalance comes from a promotion of Want as if it was Need and Passion. Such delineates Wisdom, as Cost can only be determined post-facto or after the behavior has occurred and results tabulated.&lt;/div&gt;  &lt;div&gt; &lt;/div&gt; &lt;div&gt;In other words, shoes are an essential or need for protecting our feet from certain damage, equating to a Value. Differing shoes has differing Prices. Based upon the Value and Price, Cost can only be determined after the shoes have finished their service.&lt;/div&gt;  &lt;div&gt;If a pair of shoes has a high Price but does not perform well, they are Costly. If they exceed expectations they are not.&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div&gt; &lt;/div&gt; &lt;div&gt;Thus, Wisdom requires the feedback of result.&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div&gt; &lt;/div&gt; &lt;div&gt;Economic Sociopathy has overwhelmed this truth in our current culture via Greed. &lt;/div&gt; &lt;div&gt; &lt;/div&gt; &lt;div&gt;Therefore, the next time we look at some thing, issue or idea being promoted, perhaps we can balance the scales and protect ourselves from high Cost via determining not only the Price, but also the Value and Cost prior to purchase.&lt;/div&gt;  &lt;div&gt; &lt;/div&gt; &lt;div&gt;Just a thought.&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div&gt; &lt;/div&gt; &lt;div&gt;theunclericproject.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4541311636203923851-8541682339909170569?l=theunclericproject.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://theunclericproject.blogspot.com/feeds/8541682339909170569/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://theunclericproject.blogspot.com/2009/04/economic-sociopathy.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4541311636203923851/posts/default/8541682339909170569'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4541311636203923851/posts/default/8541682339909170569'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://theunclericproject.blogspot.com/2009/04/economic-sociopathy.html' title='ECONOMIC SOCIOPATHY'/><author><name>Political Ninja</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/02276483983711652379</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='33' height='26' src='http://bp0.blogger.com/_p1tWiM0igxE/SHCZEOdi4ZI/AAAAAAAABcw/QG0rooYRbZw/S220/17_podborka_48.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4541311636203923851.post-465183882464161887</id><published>2009-04-29T10:20:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2009-04-29T10:21:35.227-07:00</updated><title type='text'>theunclericproject update</title><content type='html'>&lt;div id=":89" class="ii gt"&gt;&lt;div&gt;So,&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div&gt; &lt;/div&gt; &lt;div&gt;Here is an update for any who may be interested.&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div&gt; &lt;/div&gt; &lt;div&gt;It is Tuesday, April 28.&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div&gt; &lt;/div&gt; &lt;div&gt;Ma-aaan it is wet in south Texas. Rain and winds. Try popping up a tent in 30 mph winds with massive rain - WOW - FUN. &lt;/div&gt; &lt;div&gt; &lt;/div&gt; &lt;div&gt;It appears my suspicions are correct and little mom and pop companies who apply to the OTC market for capitalization are being literally HAMMERED by large financial institutions simply because they can. Such is also in the larger markets to a lower but substantial degree.&lt;/div&gt;  &lt;div&gt; &lt;/div&gt; &lt;div&gt;These company stocks are being used by these 'characters' in very corrupt ways because the amount of money possesed by the large firms, such as the DTCC and thier 'participants' (ie: Investment Institutions, Market Makers/Brokers and Hedge Funds). &lt;/div&gt;  &lt;div&gt; &lt;/div&gt; &lt;div&gt;This includes CitiGroup, UBS, etc. THEY ARE ALL BEHAVING LIKE CRIMINALS - bercause they are. DON'T believe the FINANCIAL NEWS - for the most, they are paid in full for thier 'opinions' by these same characters.&lt;/div&gt;  &lt;div&gt; &lt;/div&gt; &lt;div&gt;Monday I read an entire court case concerning such activity at the Conroe courthouse. It is absolutely rediculous what these NY firms are perpetrating on businesses and the investing public. Multiple high dollar lawyers for the DTCC attempted to thwart justice via thier 'power' position. &lt;/div&gt;  &lt;div&gt; &lt;/div&gt; &lt;div&gt;Thankfully, the small town Judge was one who has handled numerous top ranked cases, including the first Phen-Phen case that started the Phen-Phen settlements.&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div&gt; &lt;/div&gt; &lt;div&gt;Nevertheless, such shinanigens continue as these cases take years to process. I have only one message for anyone seeking to invest in - well - anything involving PAPER facilitated by the DTCC (common stocks of any kind) - DO NOT DO IT, these people are sociopathic and as corrupt as corrupt can be. THIS SYSTEM IS GOING TO CRUMBLE!&lt;/div&gt;  &lt;div&gt; &lt;/div&gt; &lt;div&gt;On the good side, there are things we can do to prepare.&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div&gt; &lt;/div&gt; &lt;div&gt;Currently, I am pushing for interviews with small corporate CEO's in an attempt to present the reality of this issue. THESE ARE the 'mom and pop' companies that employ over 80% of Americans. They need to be defended from all angles.&lt;/div&gt;  &lt;div&gt; &lt;/div&gt; &lt;div&gt;While the 'legal' venue is far to expensive and time consuming for the economic status of theunclericproject, investigation is underway to hopefully produce a basic documentary capable of generating further interest and support for a more effective documentory or other venue.&lt;/div&gt;  &lt;div&gt; &lt;/div&gt; &lt;div&gt;These high rolling 'clowns' must be challenged or WE, the PUBLIC, will be further enslaved by thier economic sociopathy and suffer continued denigration while they pilfer our time and efforts to build thier illustrious kingdoms chocked full of greed, averice and ego all the while devoid of humanity.&lt;/div&gt;  &lt;div&gt; &lt;/div&gt; &lt;div&gt;Anyway, If interested in more info - write back. I'll try to hit a library every day until I garner the equipment and resources necessary to avoid such. &lt;/div&gt; &lt;div&gt; &lt;/div&gt; &lt;div&gt;Until then ...&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div&gt; &lt;/div&gt; &lt;div&gt;theunclericproject&lt;/div&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4541311636203923851-465183882464161887?l=theunclericproject.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://theunclericproject.blogspot.com/feeds/465183882464161887/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://theunclericproject.blogspot.com/2009/04/theunclericproject-update.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4541311636203923851/posts/default/465183882464161887'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4541311636203923851/posts/default/465183882464161887'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://theunclericproject.blogspot.com/2009/04/theunclericproject-update.html' title='theunclericproject update'/><author><name>Political Ninja</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/02276483983711652379</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='33' height='26' src='http://bp0.blogger.com/_p1tWiM0igxE/SHCZEOdi4ZI/AAAAAAAABcw/QG0rooYRbZw/S220/17_podborka_48.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry></feed>
