@Prabhaker Human Justice is within the infinite equation of God's justice. You view god's justice as using suffering as punishment. Thats a very human view of god's justice. Suffering is but another ingredient in God's justice. To me, God's justice is not about good, bad nor suffering: It is recieving everything one acts towards. I like to think about it like ingredients in a stew. There is a matrix stew which encompasses everyone's karma and then there is your own stew(within that). Some ingredients counterbalance eachother, some compliment eachother and some make a disgusting slop. Killing is but an ingredient(Karma). Survival, intelligence, knowledge etc. compliment and counterbalance the effects of the Karma of killing. In an example of real life, these actions of survival, intelligence and knowledge allow the killer to survive and not end up killed despite his karma of killing.

[Justice] Modern Court systems may seemingly claim this mantle of delivering justice, but what exactly is their justice? Is it to give what is deserved to a crime? How can jail time recover the lost of another human being? How can smoking weed without inflicting any harm to anyone justify 7 years and an inability to get a job? Why exactly are these laws in place? Order, directly or indirectly. Justice to countries is order. Think about it, there would be unrest if murderers were set free yet protests if they were executed. What would happen if marijuana wasn't the scapegoat and charade? Actual issues might be targeted, for example, why was it illegal in the first place? The universe has an interesting and infinitely complex system of justice yet it can be understood why it is complex simply. The universe does not care for human ideals of order and such. It will give you everything you want, all of it. So why don't you have everything you want? Imagine a hunger game of every single possible desire you have, even the ones you don't realize, especially them; now imagine only a few of these desires that are in keyword-alliance with each other can reign supreme. For example eating mcdonalds everyday is not in alliance with being fit; Yes possible but unnatural. It is like having shit flavored ice cream or orange flavored chicken noodle. In the universe, it is not a few things that are brought to justice, every single action you cause is put in this already massive pot of action, simmering the perfect stew just for you. An example of this is a serial killer kills so many yet somehow he isn't killed? Killing is not the only action he has reaped; survival, intelligence, knowledge, deceit, experience and living in favorable conditions are also actions he reaps. Actions that counterbalance his killing and this is just the surface. The universe is true justice; It has no ulterior motive, no human ideals of moral, just exactly what your actions are will come back to you.

@Visitor Yes that is what I call human justice, for order and ulterior motives. The Universal Justice I call is just a manifestation of every single one of your actions into a big stew.

@Leo Gura Technically yes, but I wanted to distinguish a point in a simpler manner.

[All I do is....] During my trip to Florida, I was noticing little defence mechanisms that I did. From attempting to squat away mosquitos, stereotyping strangers to danger or safe, holding onto the rollercoaster restraints and scanning shallow water for alligators. These were of course little and even normal mechanisms however they made me think why was I being paranoid about nonsense. So I watched my other actions, noticing how most of my actions were pleasure and fear based. It was after reruning several fear mechanism situations, a little thought came about, "Everything I do is to survive." This wasn't an awing thought but rather a frustrated thought. It was a few seconds later that I realized the truth of what I just thought, Everything "I"(Ego) does is to survive. It was like third and first person came together and realized they were each other.(Which has and will continue to be used as both third and first person) Of course the other half of what I does is seek pleasure. If you take a closer look it is still very much survival. Pleasurably I seek food, water, shelter, safety and sex, Ultimately survival. It is in rare moments when I act against my own will or ride with a certain "greater than myself." This is called passion, vision, righteousness, beauty and love (explained another day perhaps) which is ironically seen as intuition despite when you resist it may be confused as counterintuitive. Ironically this selflessness actually may not just be the ultimate survival mechanism, but the ultimate thrival mechanism as well. Innovation, Progress and Creation truly happens when humans follow this gut feeling of "something greater than myself." Books, statues, cars, Facebook, Microsoft, Disney, companies, countries, The United States.

[Hobbies and Work] How many hours do you devote to your hobbies? Movies, shows, sports, weaving, painting, gaming and reading. For some of us, we stumble upon hobbies that we find ourselves investing hundreds if not thousands of ours into. Some of us become even more obsessive that we start mastering the activity itself. We start seeing the structure, patterns, holes in the wall and intricate details of the activity. Of course there is some suffering along the way but the overall obsessive nature of the beauty we see far outweighs it. Afterall, why else would we do it. In an ironic sense, this obsession is largely fueled by non-attachment to the overall outcome. It is done out of recreation despite how sometimes much more genuine blood, sweat and creativity comes from our hobbies. Hobbies become work when we put discipline into the brakes, when we time ourselves, set goals and in a way sacrifice the greater good(Varies greatly). In modern society, everyone is socially required to have a "respectable work." As much as it is a social problem, it comes down to an identity one. People seek to fill the void of who they are and what they want by having a "reputable career"(Engineer/Lawyer/Doctor) etc. It is to many no more than an identity shelter because when the subconscious asks "What did you do with your life?","What have you contributed?","Are you fulfilled?","Are you a successful human being?" "Do you love yourself?","Is this the greatest version of yourself?"- We can lie to ourselves well enough to avoid the real issues meanwhile not taking any social risks amongst family and friends, albeit sometimes at great financial risk. It is during these times when what to do with hobbies becomes a crossroad decision. Some people abandon their natural desires and joys in fear of protecting their social identity. Their study and work demands that they stay long hours and they abide in order to secure themselves against the fact they have no real clue about who they are and what they want. Yet others not understanding themselves use their hobbies as crutches, They turn their hobbies into work. Others find a balance, usually leaning towards identity safety net and hobbies on the side to feed their furious subconscious. The last two are cases where the hobbies may return fullforce and even more obsessive, although at that point it would have become great enough that even the person thinks they're doing work but really they're just being insanely possessed by their hobbies. So what is the quickest way to being insanely possessed by a hobby? The future is a blank page and It seems I'm the only who developed this view of hobbies and work. Separating it by discipline and intuitive desire. So what do I suggest? I believe when we fully fiddle with hobbies and explore the world, we will stumble upon that one thing that we aren't just good at, we're brilliant at it, sometimes only us being able to see it. Of course when I say fiddle with it, Some hobbies require short term work(discipline) before you see the light of it per say. Some hobbies turned work may redissolve into even greater hobbies when the discipline becomes part of the fun instead of a necessary evil.

[Marinating your Future] There is usually one way people deal with their problems, they actually deal with them, or try too. However if you take a step back there is an intricate web of reasons why the problem exists in the first place. Sure you could also deal with the arteries of the problems web but have you ever took note of what your environment is like. What does it feel like most of the time, outside your thoughts? What is the vibe like? Does the vibe of this environment meet what the environment produces? For example: a damp, cold and crowded room. If I were to put someone in there for a week what would they turn out like? On the polar end, What if I put them in a meadow with a cozy cottage? They would be at peace and enjoying the scene assuming they're not that deep down technology's hellhole. But isn't it cowardly to run from our problems? Yes if that's why you're switching environments, no running from one. On the other hand if you've been dealing with these problems and really started hating the environments vibe, than its matter of being done and tired of the hellhole. It could also be worded as a matter of realization or denial. Realizing you're done with this disgusting vibe or denying it and running from the scary boogie man. It is no wonder why we have the issues that we do but more than that, It is no wonder why we have the solutions that we do. Why do some people flow so much better than others? Some seem to rise up in life so easily while others plummet just as easily. Our choice of the environment is our choice of our future. We are marinating our future whether consciously or unconsciously.

@Natasha I have seen the Office Space although I remember very little. Some people think this situation is paradoxial but of course fruit is going to rot if you don't eat it!

[When I stop caring] There are two ways you could interpret the title. "I" as in you or "I" as in me. It doesn't matter because it can be applied and should be to both. Yesterday while discussing how to better manage a team, I aggressively and jokingly said "we will have a group chat and command them", the other person asked "Why was I being so aggressive?" I found the question astonishing as I didn't actually care much for a group chat or managing that team. The second aspect I found interesting was I was not even aware I sounded aggressive. It was a sudden impulse of charisma, life and out of amusement. The only times I can be charismatic and really attuned to what I'm saying is when I don't care about what is being said. It is those times when I don't worry about myself that I can be ourselves. It is when I perform our best if I choose to do so as a general policy. There is no "standards" to meet. Ironically it is during those times when I don't care that it is like I do care. The work is so much more detailed, natural and innovative. It doesn't matter if others like it, I love it. The only reason it is ironic is because people are entirely ignorant about how the world works and themselves. When I stop caring, I can stop worrying about myself and rather enjoying myself. My priorities of a financially stable income, status and network are thrown out the window. It is almost like the situation "What would you do if you were the only person alive?" All your "needs" are just what society thinks and wants you need. So when you just stop "caring", you can just be yourself and go towards the things you actually "care" about, in a non attached survival sense(aka you don't really care what happens and are picking up hobbies not jobs). It is with this clear mindset I can decide what to do with our lives. Life is no longer about social survival or any survival but like being a kid, enjoying and throwing out what I don't care. I become minimalistic. I don't need.. want that big house, instead I want to travel for 5 years, I don't want that decree-I can buy courses on how to sell and market, I do want that degree-I'll give up eating out all the time, I love exploring new cuisines but don't care for law-I'll give up what I don't care about, My friends talk about gossip all day and I don't care for it and rather talk about how the world works all day-I'll make time for friends that share my interests. Life is simple, your desires are simple however society and your fears are not. (Photo: Australian Dot Painting)

@HikiNEET Its not so simple. If you treated it like a donation to a charity, you've already let go of it being to your benefit and instead towards something greater. You do research and keep update in the same way you don't want a wasted donation.

[The Charity of life and yourself] In a few of my posts I have directly or indirectly referenced letting go of the results and doing what you want to do regardless- not to deny the possible results but to do it despite it(Ignoring the outcome but not the choices of outcome in another view). I've beginning to piece together this mystery of how letting go and enjoying actually reaps more rewards than hoarding them. I suppose it is like scattering fruit. What you sow you reap, What you hord, eventually rots. So in theory can't you do this with your life and therefore reap the absolute most of from it. Of course!! Of course you can! If you do everything in a form of charity, what do you care about the results? If you get a few gems, great; If not, then it was a fun gamble while you did it. Not all the most charitable people are poor and happy, Some quite rich and happy. Reading through Steve Job's biography it became very apparent how charitable he was. Not in the donation sense but of his time, passion, and even pay. When he returned to Apple, He took a 1$ salary for quite awhile before Apple offered him to become reinstated as chairman. He never spent much of his money despite hoarding it. In fact he wanted to tear down his Spanish mansion to build a simple home. He put his money where his mouth was about creating amazing things above monetary desires. He ruthlessly drilled and directed all the miniscule details of his products, his art. No Money nevertheless became a byproduct of his art, a massive byproduct. The only people who fear failing in the big world or not having a "real job" are the ones obsessed about their own hide. The most selfish of selfish. This is the 21st century, For god sake even the homeless can access libraries and the whole world's knowledge at a fingertips. "But what if I go bankrupt?" Have you even cracked open a book about how money even fucking works? Have you considered testing the market first to see if anyone even wants it? What about I don't know, Not drinking starbucks everyday and using that as an emergency fund. Of course you're going to go bankrupt with that incompetent and unresourceful bullshit. Look for something beyond your own hide...and ignorance. In this day and age, there are even better ways to donate than to donate itself. Why write a check to some scam charity when you know a company is putting their money where their mouth is? Has any fool considered making stocks a charity rather than business? This does not mean you throw your money at any "honorable company", even in charities, you'll want your money's worth! Stocks can be seen as a charity to the economy, to a movement you believe in and a way to give back to the world. After All companies are the ones providing innovations, jobs, conveniences, and even charities to humanity aren't they not? Much more than charities can ever. Better yet, even if you lose all your stocks, It was your charity, No longer about you, it was entrusted to another to fulfill your belief in them. Even then, the fact that you consider your stocks a charity means when everyone is selling theirs in a turmoil; You have right mentality to wait for the return of the stock price. Afterall it was a donation not a transaction! I believe if we just approach life without any qualms about the end results, Life and even the results will just come naturally. Our investment in a business doesn't become a egocentric survival machine but perhaps instead a crazed obsessed demon vomiting out innovation.(It's better than I made it sound!) Perhaps if we didn't worry about the horrors of public speaking, we would find we have an innate obsession to plunge our opinions down everyone's throat. Without our fear to socially survive, You wouldn't have gotten that college debt and instead traveled around the globe. You would've given heart and time to your interests, even if just a bit more. Perhaps to your loved ones, How long do you have with them? To life? What time do you give yourself to do life?

@Dan Arnautu Meditation also may cause the problem, at least temporarily. And yes you might need to read a few books. Both knowledge and desire should flow through being(meditation being the action to realize being), books helping with the two formers. I like to have pet theories/phases for a day or two, they really manifest themselves and have longterm consequences. Also discovering flow and exploration although I hold it somewhat secondary towards theory is the source of the theory in the first place; The theory being more of the product of such.

@MIA.RIVEL Yea I just mainly wanted to point out, hobbies should never turn into "work" and instead an absolutely obsessive hobby that can be considered "work" socially.

[Learning what we want] Ever since I've become interested in personal development my self awareness and overall discipline has greatly increased. Yet it felt like the key decisions I made came with a truck of resistance. Like I've forced myself into a corner and the natural response was to free myself. It made me wonder how before I started this egocentric self development I could randomly stumble upon things and obsessively finish it so fervently, from books to videos to projects and to internet hobbies. This natural ability never went away except when an activity came with a "You have to do this" mentality. It implied discipline, forced work, questionable motives, and loss of freedom. Many gurus and people in general would preach discipline and killing your comfort zone. I questioned if that was really "the way", If surrendering your natural tendencies to explore these little projects and things would lead to the greater good. Yet it was my interests in little projects and things that would sometimes ignite a blaze of progress. Should I go full on discipline? Perhaps allow my interests to manifest or do an odd combination of both. The answer really came to me a few days ago in a book I was reading- The Bhagavad Gita, "Renounce the fruits to enjoy the fruits" was the overall message of a page or two. At least personally for me, everytime I do something without caring for what the end results is, the results but most of all the "work" is absolutely extraordinary. That or I utterly resist but usually for good reason- There was no reason for me to do it. So for the next few days or so I decided I was going to run almost entirely on impulse. To allow the self to manifest itself. It seems impulse/intuition figures itself very well after some readjusting. The problem is our denial of our impulses and instead fighting it with a regulating ego. When you let your impulses spring out, the regulating ego's agenda soon becomes an impulse itself. The trick is to let yourself have "undesirable" impulses and consciously allow it to be. At some level you're denying these impulses, your innate intuition to be free, carefree and explorative. Of course, This is one of those theories you must swing the pendulum from polar opposites to have maximum results. For example someone new to Self-Actualization needs a stern disciplined routine for awhile before the values can seep in while someone past this point could use this method to naturally ride the currents to the values(Ironic considering the method is to let go of whether you will receive the values or not).

@Veggies make me FART Yes the reason was I didn't believe in what I was doing, that is what is mean't by "no reason." @Nahm It depends on what kind of person you are. Some people's go to answer for solving issues is disciple others is attaining a comfortable flow. Yes discipline I think is counter productive in the beginning, Its more of a rite of passage, The stage to figure out everything. I believe in early Personal Development, It is a way to stepback and realize what is wrong at least in the short term big picture(Ex: You realize you're laziness is causing issues is the short term big picture but why you are is the actual big picture). @Joseph Maynor Yea this is one of those topics that is very unique for each journey and requires bouncing back and forth. I find life just pours onto my lap when I don't try to gain any end results. Although the paradox of that is without discipline I wouldn't of found out wether disciple or impulse was true for me. I was about to say without discipline I wouldn't of meditated but the way I work is if I surrounded myself with videos and books on it, I would've started playing with the fire. It wouldn't have gone far in the beginning but eventually I would end up naturally meditating in unorthodox time and methods.

This sounds like big ego crisis. No not like saying a general ego crisis but an identity one. You want to live up to these ideas and statuses. You do this not even entirely for yourself but to appease others and gratify their definition of success. So you must decide, to work on you or others?

@Cjaryo I mean impulse in both senses, Desire of any sort. I propose we back off from our unconscious impulses for a little bit in order to clear our minds and make the right decision. Then we re-engage in our impulses- good or bad but this time consciously. Allowing all the impulses to do what it wants to a great degree(obviously restraining from violence). Eventually our impulses to discipline and do "what we're suppose to do" flows out as that itself is an impulse. Previously our unconscious solution to impulse would be to deny either ends of the poles.

@K VIL Not exactly harsh but stern discipline just to start say personal development which would eventually allow you to see your impulses otherwise you'd probably be stuck in your unconscious addictions. Then you allow your impulses to be your sails, "bad" or not- They will figure themselves out if you allow yourself to be fully conscious of them assuming you were already a self aware person of how your impulses were working and leading to results. Then if you say were to start a bussiness, you'd need to come up with at least a minimun set of discipline but that is only to fascilitate your impulses.

I thought he was a bit wacky when he posted the Alien conspiracy but this is straight out of a movie.

[Sacred Places] When I read Inner Enginering by Sadhguru, he bought up the idea of sacred places. These are places where we "sanctify" the area. Places built upon a strong reason but something almost unexplainable- In a sense something greater than ourselves. Where the construction, rituals, costumes, people, and culture are there to remind us of some greater purpose. Entirely placebo but thats entirely what makes it work. These are places to remind us to believe in that something greater, something that since we truly believe, becomes real. It is ultimately to create an atmosphere, a vibe that accelerates our growth towards something beyond ourselves. Now sacred places are but places where human art- construction, rituals, costumes etc. facilitates something beautiful and inspiring right? These places don't exactly have to be formally even spiritual. Walk into a Starbucks, What is the vibe there? Walk into Costco, What is it they believe in there? Of course these are examples of lesser sacred places.(Yes I did just refer to them as sacred places!) Now their are certain places that vibe very strongly that aren't religious. To some that would be the field, I guess one can only understand if he enjoys a sport. The rituals, the costume, the way you feel chasing after a purpose, the way your body glows or purges. Another place could be as big as Disneyworld or as delicate as a painting canvas. You truly feel you are chasing something greator than yourself. This is all fairly logical however those who don't feel or are interested in it can never truly understand. To them, the people who understand these places are lunactics. Each sacred place represents a dream, a purpose, to chase after a specific topic wholeheartedly and beyond ourselves. My sacred place would be the chase after the unity of humanity pursuing its absolute potential not in virtuality, but as an empire, as a never before seen Black Plague of Progress!

[Secrets Behind Normal] Have you ever noticed how unnormal even your normal life is? We have this little theory for example, cook- sweep floor- dishes- eat dinner. This is a "normal" formula however how many times does the chicken burn,we step on a shard, a dish breaks or we get food poisoning? These are the little things that are abnormal. Minor enough we mask it as normality as it doesn't swing the pendulum much. What about all the truly abnormal things that happen a day that you learn about, the ones that are a bit dark or more pleasant? Someone dresses as a clown, Free food, someones doing naughty things in the bathroom, a fight happens, someone is fired, a payraise, visitors, or a phone breaks. These things push the pendulum out of the normal park yet overall we can claim it was a normal day. Only because we are so unconscious of how much abnormal shit hits us in the face while we play pretend normal. The fish doesn't realize the ocean afterall. Below the desensitized abnormal events are the secrets. The ones that twist the perception of normal and even reality. I'll start with events that make us question if what we thought was normal was really normal. Today I found out a teacher had a sexual relationship with a student, a freshman was busted with 300$ worth of marijuana, the township was probably cutting him a deal and using him as a spy and also found out a teacher's husband hired a hitman to kill her(failed thankfully). One day. Now the whole marijuana thing wasn't that big of a deal but it did add fuel to the fire of, what do I really know about what I consider normal. Afterall isn't this suppose to be a merry normal nice school, like the school would have us believe? So many things in our lives including ourselves are trying to play normal? Brand name clothing, types of clothing, cereals, meats, prepackaged food, iphones, macbooks or tvs. These things are all hiding dark secrets while playing normal, In fact some of them define what is considered normal in their genres. Hell if you even look into Farmville you'll find they had a civil war like corporate culture(which lead to their incompetence) behind the smiling farmer and his cornstalk. What about us then? None of this would exist if we didn't want support it, whorship, skim over its lies. Play normal. Are the items we buy items or are they more of props. For the companies to play normal, ulitmately for us to play normal. -Sent from a macbook Sourced- https://www.facebook.com/groups/RealSociology/ Photo:Dark Swamped Woods

@Ray No problem, contact me anytime you need advice or a partnership, I'll be sure to post your video in a little bit. I actually video jumped and learned a bit about Berserk.

Hey, I'm not exactly what you in need as in directing but we do share common interests and perhaps an opportunity? I'm actually interested in Films as well but more specifically the Philosophy in them. I have a Facebook Group for that, https://www.facebook.com/groups/950585895088116/. It needs help with managing, collaborations and general marketing(Easy stuff, like 10 minutes a day average, If even). It could be a great opportunity for you to use it to post your projects, use it to network with Film makers, enthuiasts(Fanbase!) and whoever you need too. Also I do need someone to keep me accountable with the Facebook group and life in general. Perhaps you might not choose me for the Accountable Partner but we can have a great partnership in other things. I meet all your criteria except for the Life Purpose Course which I tried to buy.

Manipulation has been a curious thought of mine in the world of social politics. But before we discuss its impact and stigma. A burning queston of mine has always been; What is it? Are all actions manipulations? Perhaps decietful action? But not all manipulations have been decietful, at least surface wise. Perhaps more certainly, It does have a sly tone to it, a devious one, self centered even although not all manipulations are self centered. It does seem to have an overall goal hidden beneath the surface. So my best pinpoint would be [Manipulation= Actions taken to complete an overall goal hidden from people the action targets, usually of a decietful and self centered tone.] So then should manipulation be considered unnessecary and chaotic? It would be foolish to say we shouldn't be self centered since even the most "selfless" people live 90% their lives for what? Themselves. Sometimes manipulation is needed to facilitate larger overall goals with very genuine natures. Slightly Exagerated numbers, Change of attitudes, presentation, motive presentation, and association just to name a few. These manipulations aren't in their own right moralistic but if they were to significantly accelerate say the cure of cancer, Wouldn't it of been worth it? So perhaps manipulations with a solid purpose is relatively good. If you look at manipulations at a relationship paradigm. It is at the surface the greatest nuisance(At the core, Motives would be the greatest nuisance itself) to amazing, prosperous, fullfilling and yes even opportunistic relationships(The irony!!). Manipulations are sometimes defence mechanism against "unworthy" visitors to the true self. This firewall when used properly is great against...other machinations but other then that serves no purpose but suffering in regards to relationships. Manipulations also scare away people for good reason. Who would consciously be around a sly fox waiting to stab you at any sign of personal gain? But not only do they scare away people but opportunities. All the authentic people, activities and enviroment will stray away from, no scratch that, you will stray away from it. This means that since you are distancing yourself from authenticity and towards ego motivated actions, You won't actually discover your authentic motivations. You are too busy hiding yourself out of fear and not opening up to the world. So what happens next? The cycle continues because without authentic motivation, What other motivation is there to continue your literal life cycle? All those deep conversations about life, your passions, opportunities, relationships and yes even your motivations go out the window. Afterall the firewall deems it a threat doesn't it? You will reap the energy you sow, More machinations. I'm not saying you can't defect them but that will be the enviroment. You may be the King of it all, but what does it matter if you're the King of Hell? I wrote this post without realizing much about where the conclusion would lead but I think I have found the answer. Self centered manipulation will reap hell. Passion driven manipulation on the surface would be considered self centered manipulation but make no mistake, It is much different. Passion driven means you are being driven by something much greater then yourself, Something revolutionary and the ego just a vessel for it.
