Self-knowledge is the only basis of true knowledge - Day 415

This blog opened up for me when I watched the documentaries:

The Inconvenient Truth Behind Waiting for Superman - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yLmXV4-CBOQ

 

Initially, when I watched the documentary 'Waiting for Superman' I was within myself blaming the US Education system for locking in to the schooling system ineffective teachers . This is done  by law, wherein so long as a teacher taught for 3 years, the teacher is protected by the system regardless of their effectiveness, their willingness to empower students or having effective teaching skills. Within that, the primary point the documentary was glorifying was that the problem isn't for instance poverty or lack of resources, the problem is the quality of the teachers.

What  I momentarily missed when I watched the documentary was the level of the brainwashing the documentary consists of meaning - the examples that were shared created emotional disposition within myself to a point of almost believing that the teachers are to blame. This is how brainwashing works - creating a specific emotional disposition that those who don't have the tools to question what they are exposed to, immediately go into the point of belief that what they were exposed to is the ultimate truth. Unfortunately, none of us were taught to develop these skills to step beyond our emotional states and actually investigate all dimensions/perspective/research to see the source of the actual problem to be able to find the solution that would manifest the best for all results.

 

Then, the documentary presented a "solution" and the solution was a charter schools where the quality of the teachers is high as well as the level of dedication, motivation and resources. within myself, I was quiet satisfied that the charter school exist in the US as I for a moment, I believed it gives some children a chance to find their true potential in a life of extreme inequality. Looking at myself from an observer eye's view - I was an automated robot that took in the information without investigating what the documentary is all about.  And, it is again another example of how  brainwashing  works wherein I allowed my emotional disposition being the directive principle within a specific moment without questioning the source, the starting point of the documentary.

 

Fortunately, the next documentary that came up on Google was "The Inconvenient truth Behind waiting for Superman" which assisted and supported me to see how easily I was drawn into blame and frustration instead of literally investigating all things and keep the solution that is best for all. In this documentary, it was shown that stats regarding the charter schools success for instance, can be easily manipulated to show what the mass wants to see while the physical evidence shows different results ; It showed who is behind the 'waiting for superman' documentary and how it was for their benefits. It showed the lack of support the teachers have in being able to empower themselves, enhance their teaching skills and to become the best that they can be within the process of educating the students across America.

 

I'm not saying that what the ' Inconvenient truth Behind waiting for Superman' documentary is now the truth, what I'm saying is that there are many layers and dimension one must investigate  before coming to the conclusion that something is the truth. I'm using the 'waiting for superman' documentaries to show that we must always investigate and questioning the information we are exposed to and to within that, assist and support ourselves to step out of the emotional mind behavior to be able to effectively process the information and to see the greater pictures within the ocean of information that is available.

 

Our education system simply does not support the development of effective human beings that has what it takes to be able to question and investigate information but instead, our education system support submissive behavior of the mass through a long process of dumbing us down to maintain and sustain the status-quo as it exists today.

For more context, I suggest listen to GET YOUR KIDS OUT OF PUBLIC SCHOOL NOW!!!! by John Taylor Gatto.

 

This is why, the solution is 'Self-Knowledge' as in Man know thyself - and within that context, to start developing the skills to questions not only the system but to start with ourselves as this system is just an external manifestation of that which we have accepted and allowed within and as ourselves.

it is about SELF and developing the skills do question the inner self and the outer self meaning - as within so without - we have created this system as our image and likeness and thus, it will be us who can change the system into a system that honor LIFE. as with everything, it start with our own self-introspection, self-investigation, self-questioning and thus self-knowledge to understand our responsibility within it all, to stop blaming everything and everyone and to instead of  focusing on the problems, to focus on the solutions.

Propaganda - Full North-Korean Documentary - Day 393

If you haven't already, I suggest taking the time to watch the Propaganda - Full North-Korean Documentary.

 

 

We can not see what we already are; we can not see what we have become; It is a physical evidence - if we were to see, we would have already do something to change our current way of living.

For instance - You know how it is so easy to give someone an advise but how difficult it is for us to apply our own advise? Or how difficult it is for us to see that we are walking towards destructive path but when another is walking that path, we can see it is not the best for them.

 

This documentary that was done by the North Korean describe what we, the westerns, are not able to see for ourselves because we are too far gone within our own consumer brainwashed minds. The very same mind that would allow the abuse in this world to continue for the benefits of our own comfort zones that we can financed in one way or another. The very same mind that have given up long time ago on Principles of Equality and Love your neighbours as yourself. The very same mind that is a product of PR forces that were deliberately design to keep us captive within ourselves so that we would never question and system and guess what - it worked - none of us is questioning the system for real but only through our self interest point of views.

 

This documentary may most likely be faced with resistances and reactions by most of us western people but I Dare you to take a moment and watch this thing as it is one of the first steps of understanding what is really going on inside ourselves - it is real well done eyes openers. If you dare to walk the second step, I would suggest here to expand your understanding with watching the Century of the Self and if you were able to stay tuned throughout all of this - you are ready to start taking responsibility for your own mind, your own automated behaviour and beliefs about yourself and from there, to truly support yourself to step out of the box (Mind) and start walking the correction process to become a pillar in this world by example of your actions and deeds. So when you are ready for your third step, join us to on the Free online course - DIP Lite - where you, as the Answer, start your process of change/correction to become an effective human being in this world that is able to have critical and reason thinking through which you can find the solutions to support yourself and others in this world.

Study finds children would not think of overweight person as a potential friend - Day 369

This in another blog within the blog series where I investigate the question: Who is Responsible for our Children's Education?.

 

In todays Daily Mail article - How we start being 'fattist' at four: Study finds children would not think of overweight person as a potential friend  one can find absolutely fascinating study that clearly show that the parents and our society as a whole are simply ineffective trainers for the children in this world. The study shows how ineffective parenting leads to prejudice behaviour of a child already at age 4 and all of that is happening through the example of the parents, their opinions and beliefs (Value system) and/or the TV/Media influences that without parental input, one simply do not know what the child would accept as their value system and whether the value stands in alignment to what is best for the child and humanity as a whole:

 

Here some pointers from the article:

 

"..A study of 126 boys and girls who had just started school showed they were loath to think of an overweight story book character as a potential friend…

 

…The Leeds University researchers said it seems that even very young children have picked up on the prejudice against fat people that pervades society…

 

...Only one of the 43 children read the fat Alfie version of the book chose him as a potential pal..

 

...The results of the study, the first to show that children of such a young age stigmatise those who are fat, were presented at European Congress on Obesity in Liverpool...

 

...He said that with parents of obese children saying their youngsters are already socially isolated at the age of five, such views could underpin weight-related bullying and victimisation...

 

...The professor said that he believes the youngsters are picking up on a prejudice towards obesity that is all around them, from the opinions of their parents to TV shows which ‘ridicule’ the fat...

 

...He added: ‘I think we have an underlying social commentary about weight and morals and that the morality of people is based on their shape...

 

...‘I think that is very powerful and kids are sensitive to it.’...

 

...Professor John Wilding, of the UK Association for the study of Obesity, said: ‘I think it matters because we know that the social stigma associated with weight problems is quite significant...

 

...‘It is reflected in reduced employment opportunities and all sorts of other aspects of life...

 

...‘If these stereotypes are starting in childhood, it is going to be very hard to reverse them...

 

...‘I guess we need to think about how to change that in society.’"

 

It is fascinating that the conclusion is:  "I guess we need to think about how to change that in society" instead of a definite statement indicting: "Till here no further - we must change ourselves by investigating our value system so that we can stand up, correct ourselves and change our contaminated behaviour and thus, stand as an example for our children of what does it really mean to live in integrity and respect towards oneself and each other.
 

The even bigger problem is that no one wants to admit that we, as parents, are brainwashing our children to be the image and likeness of ourselves. I mean, let's do the math - can you honestly state that throughout your day, you have no Thoughts, Reactions and Emotions towards others? Was there a day in your life that you didn't judge, spite or gossiped about another human being? (and here, it does not matter if it was verbally or only in your mind) Is there absolute respect towards ALL human beings in this world within yourself to the extent that every decision that you make is what best for all?

IF you are honest about these questions, it would be fair enough to assume that as of yet, you are not standing as an absolute and perfect example for your children and all of these inner conflicts that you have within yourself, you are passing to your children and they will pass it through to their children. (The sin of the fathers)

 

We train the kids to either become obese by telling them they must finish everything from their plate (please read Finish Everything on your Plate! - Day 355) and we train the children to not like fat people.

 

In the article it was mentioned that obese people are having hard time to find a job and now that we understand that prejudice behaviour starts already in early childhood, there is no wonder since once one that is obese is being interviewed for a job, the interviewer has most likely prejudice opinions about the shape of the interviewee body and as we all know, the judgement and opinions that we form about another is happening in the first 10 Seconds or less. By all means, the quality, integrity and experience of the interviewee is not coming to play when the 'wrong' judgement is being placed upon the interviewee by the brainwashed interviewer.

 

In essence, the article emphasize the consequences of incorrect use of the Natural Learning Ability. When the child learns bad habits such as being prejudice already at age 4, it implies that the parents didn't make sure that the information that the child stored within oneself contains the actual and real meaning of the word/vocabulary/expression. If we teach our children that it is valid to be prejudice from a early age, how can we not see that instead of evolving we are devolving and how can we not see it was always our responsibility and our direct participation in how and who we have become? How can we not see that we pass our sins to our children?

 

What is important to understand form this article is that the problem is much more severe than being prejudice at age 4 - the problem is that we have no awareness as to what we teach our children, we have no awareness as to what our children are picking up from our expression, behaviour and words.

We have never actually investigated our opinions, beliefs, ideas, perceptions that we have created as our value system upon which we live as and the even bigger problem here is that we pass it generation after generation without seeing, realizing and understanding that we pass on invalid value systems through which we created our world and thus, it is no wonder that there is so much hate, suffering and abuse in this world because we have never made sure that our children would become the best that they can be as we have limited them to what and who we are and let's face it - who we are isn't the best for all example as of yet.

 

So it is time to takes things into our hands and start investigating our belief system before it is too late; we must stop the cycle of ineffective production of human beings and instead, become the being that we can be, a being that moves, direct and walk according to that which is best for all. Only then we can ensure that what we show, teach and educate our children would bring the results of a world where we can trust each other, support and cared for each other, a world where we respect ourselves and each other - a world that is best for all living beings. It is up to us, it always has been so would we wait till we reach to a point of no return or would we take responsibility and correct ourselves and change?

Memorial Day and Independent Day - the Joke is on us - Day 348

Yesterday was the  National Memorial Day in the honour of those who have fought for the country (Israel) in the past 65 years. Today, is the Israeli Independent Day. I always found it ridiculous how fast one moves from Depression and crying for the loved one they had died to partying all night long to celebrate the country independency. I now see that it is even more absurd as there is no real independency and young kids age of 18 are still in the fire zone, fighting for the country.

 

So what is the underlying current within this polarity game we play with ourselves and why it has been promoted in such a manipulative way for us to never questioning the reality we live in and simply accept it has it is?

To understand the reason to the above question, I suggest watching the documentary: "The Century of the Self" where it was explained how and why we have all been brainwashed through phycology means to keep the beast inside ourselves numb and quiet to never stand up and question that which we have blindly accepted over the years. Why it was so important to keep the mass ignorant and how it was done through manipulative strategy based on irrationality behaviour we have trapped ourselves in.

 

Moving from one side of the polarity as grief and sorrow to a state of euphoria and pleasure was deliberately designed is such specific way where we are even thankful for those who have died and gave us in their death a momentary experience of freedom. Our pursuit of happiness and excitement as an individual self interest would then thus justify why it is ok to keep fighting for our country within the inevitable consequences of unnecessary death of young children that are forced to join the army, believing they had a free choice within it. Well, at least, I believed I had free choice in enlisting to the army when I was 18 years old. The propaganda was so well designed that I couldn't even wait till I could join the military. And here, I'll be honest with you - so long as I was protected in a base with friends around, I enjoyed my service as it suited my self interest of a social human being however, the moment I've been placed in a life threating position where I was constantly fearing for my life, I did everything I could to get out of the army with no success. Again, what defined my direction was nothing but my own self interest as to what would be the best for me in any given moment - there was no common sense in any of my decisions that I believed were my decisions which is quiet fascinating point to look at.

 

Now, beside the brainwash and propaganda point within the Memorial days and independent day that were deliberately placed as following days, another element we can have a look at is… MONEY.

When looking at these points and tracing back the root of money - both days, memorial and independent days have a direct relationship with Money. War wouldn't have existed if a select few would not make a profit out of it and the independent day is all about spending money that could have been used for more supportive matters such as feeding and providing health care for those who are in the poverty line and below.

 

We are living in a world where independency do not exists as we dependent on Money to survive. We are living in a world where War is integral part of our lives and we accept it and validate it without even questioning it. Gee, I must applaud to those who have deliberately designed the brainwashing methods, they have done a really good job.

 

So - It is time to Wash our Brain with some common sense and add all the points together to see what is really been accepted and allowed without our direct decision and will and from here, to stand up and correct the mess we created so that celebrating Life could be applied in every moment of one's breath.
