the concept of the matrix

[Cygnus]

I believe the matrix is based on something very real. perhaps not to the point where we're all actually one of billions of batteries in pink pods...simply that we are living in a plane of reality that is on the same level as that which we experience while we "dream". the only reason we believe we wake up in this world, in this reality, is just that. we believe it. In my eighteen years on this earth I have discovered that mentality is everything. If you know you can do something, you can do it.

as a side note, i also believe it is my ultimate mission to awaken mankind. you can call me crazy but frankly "crazy" is nothing more to me than a mistaken mentality generated by mankind to easily put something that others may not so easily understand (because of the extreme level of control the current mentality, that of society, has over so many) in quarantine.

This mentality is not healthy people and I know there are those like me who think like I do. Yes, I am claiming that pretty much the way everything is run today is fucked up. No longer do people put their own minds and emotions first. Often, people sacrifice it for the sake of fitting in to society and therefore, immediately exile any thought of "what if this is all wrong". and the thought stops there.

My suggestion: don't do that. Sure, think I'm nuts. According to the current unspoken definition (the one that drives the label to be cast in the first place) and based on the way it has been cast on others in the past, I may as well be totally psycho.

..but being given that label is of no consequence to me, because I know for a fact my intentions are for the ultimate good of mankind, and I know for a fact my head is perfectly straight.

What are you crazy?

I have never been a philosophical kind of person. Science is my thing.

It is hard to believe in philosophy when it comes down to the fact that we are all reactionary. We are only merely a series of responses to external stimuli. Every thought you think, every emotion you feel, is a only a conditioned response to something you already experienced or were taught earlier. Frustration, despair, and exhilaration are merely the results of experiencing something for the first time, without having something to fall back on.

[Cygnus]

I am a man of science myself, believe it or not. I think totally in numbers, and I fullheartedly agree with what you said.

with this said, you'd probably be lead to believe I contradict myself. I challenge you though, give me one example of a mindset of both philosophy and science combined, always causing some kind of conflict, making the two impossible to go hand in hand? I don't believe there is an example...but I could be wrong.

My point, is that everything and anything is possible. The only thing that prevents is a negative mentality.

uhhh too much lsd ?

Hrm, I've had this arguement dozens of times in my life. I think...You're missing a large piece of the puzzle Cygnus, as well as you Kuddles. I believe we are connected to the outside Dimensions, energy seems infinate, as it surpasses time. It bends, blends, distorts, and mutates much like life evolves. I believe that energy is constantly connected unto itself, if energy only changes in time, could it not always be the same throughout it all? Also, energy generates magnetic fields in the wake of it's movements. Wouldn't our brains then create such a field? With our limited understanding of electromagnetism how can one say we are limited, or that we are not. All we can do is explore and push the boundries of what we are, and how we percieve others. With philosophy, you can look at someones actions and see a potential for dozens of reasons for them doing what they did. With science there is only one reasoning, however, they are identical. They are seperate approaches for different parts of life. Different directions so-to-speak. One deals with the science of people, where there is no true proof except time. And the other deals with the science of the natural world. You could call science itself a philosophy, though I believe if you blindly follow anything you can lose yourself in the dogma of emotion. Thanks.

There's a lot to discuss here, but I'm only touching a couple points with this ten foot pole.

Yes the brain has its own electromagnetic aura. Yes consciousness is electromagnetic and memory is stored electromagnetically. The body has its own field as well. Chi lines, are the electromagnetic lines of force that run down our body, that's why accupuncture is so efficient.

As far as our dwindling natural resources.

THere's an entirely new theory based on how oil is formed. Not from the decomposition of organic matter, but instead as a byproduct of natural earth-driven processes... there is a substantial amount of evidence that this is the case... which would mean that many oil wells drilled deep enough will REFILL over time, and the world's oil reserves would technically be increased a thousand fold.

And as far as alternative energy sources are concerned - OBVIOUSLY he doesn't support alternative energy sources. That shit is easy to understand. After all, Bush Senior ran an oil rig out in the gulf of mexico back when he was younger, his whole family are oil tycoons. Oil is the control through which balance is kept in the middle east, and alternative energy sources are totallly unnecessary.

The true alternative energy source is Zero Point energy, but it will not be available on a civilization wide scale for at least a decade. First the status-quo needs to change before something that could so easily change the status-quo is introduced into the world. We're just not ready yet.

I agree with almost all you have said except one part...
I know, I know there's always one part

You ended with "we're just not ready Yet"
It is because of that one statement that mankind will always be irrevocably sheep.
This kinda goes along with Cygnus's idea that the crazy label is cast from non-society based thinking, if I understand his statement accurately.
They are indeed the same thing in my oppinion.(This is also influenced by the individuals POV)
For example : Our Govnmn't has said in the past that we were not ready for the information in the JFK files...
Most people accepted this as truth, in affect admitting that they do not have the ability to question, reason, or demand the truth.
This may seem off subject,but truely it' not.
My reasoning: If Status Quo tells us we aren't ready and we listen, then we truly aren't ready.
If Status Quo tells us we aren't ready and we disagree, we would be called "Crazy" or a similiar degrading term.
I'm sorry for being so vague and jumping around from topic to topic,but this is such a deep subject that there is no easy explanation.
The answer lies between both of your statements. If your in agreement your a sheep with no individuality, if not in agreement your crazy, or liberal,or anarchist so on and so forth.
