Universal Phenomena - Sometimes We Mock And Ridicule What We Don't Understand

11/11/2015

Sometimes we mock what we don't understand because it's scary or because it's so contrary to what we've grown to believe our whole lives. It's called cognitive dissonance. ~ Joe Simmons

The meme is taken out of context and the idea/belief is mis-stated. Sometimes we mock what we don't understand because it's scary or because it's so contrary to what we've grown to believe our whole lives. It's called cognitive dissonance.

It took us over 200 years to believe the Earth was round. We mocked, ridiculed, imprisoned, black listed and committed to psychiatric hospitals those who believed and professed that the Earth was round -- all that over the opinion of the shape of a thing... "Opinion" emphasized. The point is that it was a change in belief that we humans eventually adopted in our rapportuer or arsenal of acquired common sense.

Up next... all "things" are compositions and conglomerates of energy vibration. Anything that we "see" or experience in any way is merely a way we perceive the energy vibrations and their movement. Therefore, the experiences are illusions, merely ways we perceive. Then we add meaning to it all.

Imagine, we are that energy vibration.

Whatever energy vibration is present and entertained will expand, e.g. this is how like energy "attracts" like energy. It's an expansion. The contexts and meanings are human-centrically derived/conjured, a.k.a.  made up, "just because".

Additionally, there's no separation in the energy flow, only changes or reformations in the flow's movement, like moving from one climate to another, which leads to the most fun part...

The separations are illusions while we are all organically One dynamic ongoing expanding and transforming being, including all the parts of us, even the trees and the rocks.

Namaste.

Preconceived Notions - Pants Below the Butt

8/1/2015

0 Comments

 
During the November 1, 2011 Transformation Conversation, Joe Simmons and guests looked at our reactions about people wearing their pants below the butt, and considered whether our preconceived notions rob us of opportunities to see objectively, which could inhibit our ability to find more opportunities for fulfillment and happiness.This blog is a summary and lessons learned from that conversation. ~Joe Simmons
Pick up your pants!
Preconceived Notions
Actually, there is an explanation for this. The issue of wearing the pants below the butt is dynamic. There is the choice to do it, and there are the reactions to seeing it done. Since we cannot control what others do, we can look at our reaction to seeing it done. 

First, if we look closely, we will notice that the people in these pics are covered from the waste down. Two of the gents in the photo are fully clothed. 

The problem is our relationship to the labels we put on clothing, and our relationship to the contexts of those labels. In this case, we have a label called "underwear" and the meanings and connotations that we attach to the term underwear. Additionally, we have opinions about
appropriate locations for clothing features.

I saw this very clearly while at work a couple of weeks ago. A client was wearing his pants down below his butt, and he walked like a duck. I thought to myself, “This guy is a complete idiot.” Then, I looked more closely. “Hmm…,” I thought, “That’s not underwear. Those are sports pants… like basketball shorts… the mesh kind.” To confirm, I asked the client about it. The client confirmed, “Yeah, they’re basketball shorts.” I thanked him and he waddled away like a duck.

We have opinions about the composition and/or style of clothing that is appropriate to cover the body. We are accustomed to a look that includes attaching the top of the pants at or above the waste. We are talking about the location of a particular feature of a particular article of clothing, which is one piece of the composition/design of attire that clothes or covers the body.

Is it underwear or is it a bathing suit, or is it shorts, etc.? What difference does it make? My waddling client friend was fully clothed. Notwithstanding the labels and the connotations/expectations/meanings that I attach to them, I saw very clearly that I was the idiot.

Of course, the consequences of the design choice are another and separate dynamic of the pants-below-the-butt style.

Namaste,

What Is Common Sense?

3/20/2014

0 Comments

 
"Common sense might not be what we think it is. In fact, we might not want to apply it automatically. Use with caution. " 

Common sense is a normal, average, common or ordinary way of thinking, addressing what is commonly understood and/or typically expected by a population of two or more people. Common sense is often mistakenly defined or described as native wit, albeit native wit is a tool we might use to apply common sense. Common sense thinking is a way of thinking or approaching matters that appears to be practical or logical for a particular set of circumstances or to solve a problem.

However, it is not necessarily appropriate or advantageous to practice or to apply or to rely on common sense because the common sense of a population of people can be inaccurate, misguided by misunderstandings, illusions, and/or delusions of 
Teaching Common Sense
Common Sense Evolves
and/or perpetrated against the general population. There is value to understand or to be familiar with what is the common sense of the people, e.g. what is common to them, ordinarily understood to be true or considered to be logical and valid. 

"...the Common Core standards initiative in education is an aggressive method designed to cause massive shifts in the common sense of the population for marketing, creating a particular mindset for problem solving and some not-so-nice purposes, perhaps."

Likewise, certain societies or special interest groups teach, train and condition us to have a particular common sense depending on their goals and objectives via advertising,  propaganda, drugs, chemical permeation/poisoning, desensitization and other methods pervasively. For example, the Common Core standards initiative in education is an aggressive method designed to cause massive shifts in the common sense of the population for marketing, creating a particular mindset for problem solving and some not-so-nice purposes, perhaps. Common sense evolves. Therefore, it is beneficial to have "extraordinary sense", as well. ♥

The War Hoax

3/5/2014

0 Comments

 
Veteran homelessness and poverty are symptoms of the hoaxes associated with the Corporatocrocy’s (a.k.a. the 1%) justification for war. Honorable pursuits do not end this way, generally, because divine Love inspires honorable pursuits, which result in forms of abundance and celebration. Therefore, we, including our well-intentioned soldiers and veterans are victims of the War Hoax.

There is no sane justification for war, only the opportunity to gain the resulting hardships. We know this because we cannot avoid the universal laws such as the Law of Attraction, also called Karma. What goes around comes around. This is absolute regardless of the opinions and justifications that we conjure and "buy into". Opinions, reasons, justifications, etc. do not matter. Killing is killing, hate is hate, etc. regardless of what triggers them. What we put out comes about, unavoidably. It is just a matter of time and degree that we notice it.

The question is, then, what do we want? Moreover, given the Laws of the Universe, e.g. what goes around comes around, what must we do or how must we be in order to achieve it?

There is only one sustainable way to get what we want. We must be it. This is the only way. This is what Mohandas K. Gandhi meant when he said, "Be the change you want to see in the world." ♥

With God's Blessing

2/15/2012

2 Comments

 
Janice Pickett, author, intuitive counselor, healer, actor, film and TV producer and friend asked the following question...

"I believe God gives us energy which is our direct connection to him. Man has power through energy and can achieve anything when he knows how to apply it to his life. So when we pray we ignite that energy and in fact create our own solutions with Gods blessing. Do you agree?"   ~ Janice
Picture

Thank you for the opportunity to explore here. Putting our  thoughts to words subjects us to semantics. Please forgive me for the matters of semantics that might follow.  

To answer the question, I agree. However, I don't feel that God gives a blessing, per se. I believe that we're inclined to give God human attributes and conjure contexts in order to relate or to try to make sense of things. We’re human-centric, so we can’t help but to relate everything to the human experience. For example, when I am larger from gaining forty pounds, the people and chairs around me look smaller to me. When I lose forty pounds, the people and chairs around me look larger to me. Hence, we perceive and understand everything through the scales of human being.

Please bare with me...
 
In my puny human-centric opinion, God is energy vibration flowing to balance, unattached and impartial to the stories and sentiments as we experience them. God is a category of energy vibration that we experience as love in the category of experience that we call life in a physical domain. I feel that we, the human beings, are an aspect of God through which we can feel the flow to balance that we are, a.k.a. the love that we are. One way I describe it is that we are conduits through which Love/God flows. That's the best I can do in most conversations because I see that everything is energy vibration and every spot of the energy vibration is conscious and perceptive. The perceptions, e.g. all things that we experience, are "thought"; which is a label we attach to another category of energy vibrations.

In a nutshell, there are two things going on. 

  1. Everything is energy vibration occurring, and 
  2. We perceive the energy vibrations dynamically.

We make up the realities by adding and validating contexts... a bunch of perceptions upon perceptions that perceive and experience collectively. Yes, the perceptions are perceiving. Ironically, We can't even really say collectively, because we're One and to say "collectively" implies that our individuation is also true. Our individuation is not true. It's all an illusion. To be clear, our individuation is real to the extent that we actually do have the experience. The experience is present. In other words, it is true that the experiences occur, albeit the experiences are illusions.

In my puny opinion, the idea of receiving God's blessings is a primitive human-centric perspective, an ego trip. The is-ness that is God occurs beyond anything that we can imagine or fathom, certainly a tad more dynamic than existing in a capacity to give blessings in a fashion similarly to the way we little humans approve or disapprove anything.

Still, I’m comfortable to use the term blessings to express gratitude. I feel that you are a blessing. You bring joy. You enrich us. You are a blessing to us. While I recognize and embrace the gift that you are, you and I bless, fortify, contribute to, enrich, make whole and invigorate me. We do the blessing together as a team. Likewise, God, e.g. the magnificent is-ness of it all is a blessing to us. I believe that God blesses us with the gift of God’s magnificence, parts of which you and I are. I feel that we, including God, bless each other and ourselves by seeing/recognizing the gifts that we are. 

I don’t feel that God is a third party that determines worthiness, judges and provides approvals called blessings. I believe that we receive or experience blessings the same way we experience beauty, gratitude and love. We choose them. 

Thank you for your partnership in the exploration! 

Lovingly Namaste,

Joe

We All Love Each Other

4/11/2011

2 Comments

 
Paul Goldberg, a Law of Attraction Coach, submitted the following status on Facebook: 


"Love Yourself!...if you don't, who will?"

This is a great question and a reminder that we all love each other. We simply don't recognize it. We mis-interpret love as being other things. Then, we add meanings and conditions to the mis-interpretations. Then, we react to the mis-understandings as if they are true. The layers of mis-perceptions breed justifications to resist giving and receiving the love that would otherwise pummel us into a giddy oblivion. Thanks for the opportunity to look and remember!

Metaphysically Speaking, Who Discovered America?

1/19/2011

1 Comment

 
Picture
A friend on Facebook asked, “Who really discovered America, metaphysically speaking?”

From an historical perspective, Christopher Columbus did not discover America.

Metaphysically speaking, all things always are and always have been. We conjured the context of having discovered a thing and believing it's true that we've discovered it in order to have a point of contrast. The contrasts provide a place for us to bite into the life or to engage in it. It's the only way because all things are perceivable only by virtue of their comparison to something else.

Metaphysically, we are literally one All-that-is, without points of separation. If this is true, when we discover anything, we are merely remembering a part of ourselves that we've forgotten or are newly entertaining. The parts of us include all things - even rocks and "their" particulates. Rocks are living conscious parts of us, albeit we have difficulty realizing it because we associate life and living with a heart, brain, lungs, blood-flow, etc. Our puny selves have opinions about what constitutes life or being.

Life and consciousness occur energetically. It's about energy vibration. The forms are merely constellations of vibrations upon vibrations reflecting upon layers and layers of perceptions amongst all the parts of us. When I say "all the parts of us", they include the quarks and whatever other minute particulates we've conjured to try to figure out of what we're made. Even the particles are made-up - conjured. Additionally, each of all the conjured parts are perceiving and reflecting those perceptions about each other.

Here's the thing... All the stuff is made-up. We are living in a product of our creativity and imagination. Even the experiences of a physical domain, life and death, etc. are the result of perceptions layered upon perceptions ad infinitum that illuminate a physical experience. "Physical" is merely a label we apply to categories of experiences, perceptions, thoughts, etc., which we call true when they are not. The stuff is real only to the extent that we actually experience it. We really do experience this stuff; however, the manifestations are illusions. They are real, but they are not true.

So, who discovered America? Nobody. There is no America or USA… There is only one us – US, WE, ONE. We made up a context called “Discovered America” for fun. 

By the way, this Oneness thing that we are is also called Love or God. We are love. Why the contrasts? Because, we cannot experience ourselves (Love) without something to which to compare ourselves. Remember? We need the stuff that is not love or the resistance to love, in order to recognize love. We’re here in contexts of physical-ness to access experiences of ourselves that are only available in this domain. The physical domains provide all the contrast we need and desire to re-discover who and what we are. We are one and love.

Thanks for taking the time to explore these perspectives. I like to try them on like a coat and ask myself, “If this is true, what else might be true?”

Namaste,

Why Call Him God?

11/26/2010

1 Comment

 
I came across the following Epicurus (341–270 B.C.) quote in a Facebook comment:

"Is God willing to prevent evil, but not able? Then he is not omnipotent. Is he able, but not willing? Then he is malevolent. Is he both able and willing? Then whence cometh evil? Is he neither able nor willing? Then why call him God?" ~ Epicurus

First, I want to be clear that I am exploring and sharing a perspective in the context of the entire quote, not just, "Why do we call God, God?" I am sharing a perspective based on why we call him God withstanding the conditions that Epicurus presents.


Perhaps we call him God because we feel like adding meaning to things and labeling things. Ironically, the labeling is insidious, e.g. we're predisposed to perceive a category of "separate" or "third party", hence we refer to and apply a “He” when there is none. Maybe we simply exist in a being or a becoming state of is-ness that is God. Hence, there is just an is state. I know that may sound strange. Of course, there is only one is. Imagine we might decide to distinguish, categorize, define, judge, label and count is’s. Actually, that’s what we do. 

Finally, let's consider that the label “evil” and the descriptors, e.g. “malevolent” are fictitious. We apply the labels “good”, “bad”, etc. to our opinions of a thing and call it true, when it is not. In this case, therefore, we hold the fabrication labeled “He” accountable to the opinions and the labels that we attach to them. Uh-oh, then who is accountable? I declare that I am accountable with the collective I's (is) that we are.

Thanks for the opportunity to look!
