It recedes as fast on one side as it gains on the other. It undergoes continual changes; it is barbarous, it is civilized, it is Christianized, it is rich, it is scientific; but this change is not amelioration. For everything that is given, something is taken.</i><br><br>
Ralph Waldo Emerson’s 1841 essay <i>Self-Reliance</i> digs a deep trench in the synapses in our brains. We ride a three-dimensional energy roller coaster that takes us up the hills of renewal. And at times, it deposits us in valleys of fear. We then lock ourselves in mental sidecars of doubt and cover ourselves with the inconsistencies of religious politics.<br><br>
The valleys of fear shroud us in sameness and transform us with bitterness. We blame our mental adjustments not on choices but on associations. Our influences restrict us from seeing the ruin of our self-responsibility. <br><br>
We battle brothers and sisters and exile them in shame. That quest for power tweaks our ambitions, but hierarchical control sentences us to distasteful compliance. The nation falls into an objective abyss from the unorganized idiosyncrasies of government orchestrated by the money-hungry political vultures. <br><br>
Our energy rides in dubious subtle domination, and our physical and mental health sinks into an irrational pond of confusion. We call that confusion the reality of a necessary life. <br><br>
We ride that energy until brakes of awareness throw us into another frame of thought-cells. Those thoughts begin to reject anything that conforms to our judgmental and distorted beliefs. <br><br>
When we realize we create all of these experiences so we physically feel our thoughts and emotions, we change. We discover all we experience expands our inner awareness through the power of our own energy. We then continue our journey of self-reliance from the inside-out instead of from the outside-in.

When these principles come into question, issues surface. Those issues divide the nation into two hostile camps. When that happens, democracy works at a disadvantage. And it will cease to work when interests and ideals refuse to compromise. </b><br><br>
Joseph Schumpeter, the 1925 chair of the University of Bonn's Department of Economics, wrote those thoughts in his 1942 book <i>Capitalism, Socialism, and Democracy. </i> Schumpeter goes into great detail describing different forms of government. He describes Marxist socialism, American capitalism, and others. Schumpeter describes democracy in simple as well as complicated terms. <br><br>
Schumpeter said all capitalistic societies will adopt some form of socialism to survive. Capitalism is a self-destructive force. Capitalism always has to reinvent itself to grow. American greed capitalism reinvents itself at such a fast rate it is almost impossible for it to maintain balance and produce economic and social stability. <br><br>
The 2016 election of Donald Trump was more than a break in the established rules of politics. There was a lack of concern for repairing the current system in an orderly and agreeable way. That sketchy election confirmed greed capitalism's ability to erode the structural principles of democracy. Destruction from that erosion may surpass all other periods in American history. The world is watching greedy capitalism destroy any allegiance it has to democracy and any allegiance it has to social and religious equality. <br><br>
The inability of the American two-party system to agree on anything is a symptom of the self-induced illness that weakens democracy. American democracy is on life support, and greedy capitalism is on the critically ill list. <br><br>
The 21st century is the dawn of social and religious enlightenment. America will sit at the center of a new world order when greedy capitalism follows slavery into the bowels of ignorance.

Manogue Independently Published (2023) ISBN: 979-8218137007 Reviewed by Tammy Ruggles for Reader Views (10/2023) 5*- A lawn party for your mind"The Lawn Party: And Everyone's Invited" by H.T. Manogue, is a beautiful volume of poetry
and artwork that includes the work of four poets that will have you thinking and feeling your
way toward deeper meaning. The book has a newer age, transformative feel to it, and some of the
poems are quite mystical in nature, suggested by the psychic travels described and explained in
the book. <br><br>
The mystic Rumi is one of the thinkers whose 800-year-old writing is included.
Another inspiration is Seth, an entity that is non-physical and used to enhance awareness.<br><br>
These poems offer a philosophical journey to guide you toward enlightenment, with messages
about belief and how we perceive people, places, events, and even the universe--the foundation
for the choices we make in life, which shape our experiences in a lot of ways. Once our belief
systems about religion, love, science, sex, etc., have been identified and understood, we can then
know what creates our reality.<br><br>
Manogue goes a bit deeper in this book, into the realm of psychic messages that could shape
people as well. Sorting out systems you have been entrenched in from generations ago and that
are present during your lifetime can be daunting. Paul Harmon is another figure in the book that
is featured and explored. Most of the poems have a feel of immediacy, as if the poet is
channeling a message and writing it down from the ether. The artwork that is interspersed
throughout the poetry is just as intriguing as the text. <br><br>
One of the interesting things that stands out to me is the author's concept of misremembering, or
rather, confusing the physical personality with the inner personality. Manogue's work is included
as well. <br><br>
His poetic lines like, <br><br>
<i>You Want More? Greed Has A Swinging Door. Cells Know Well There's No Peace In Holy Hell,
With One-Way Gears. And A Fear-Laced Spear</i><br><br>
…are just a sampling of the imagery and thought found in this work, which is a perfect
companion to the artwork. If you are ready for a fresh, new take on poetry and imagery, then
treat yourself to a lawn party for the mind and put "The Lawn Party: And Everyone's Invited" by
H.T. Manogue on your to-read listHalhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18093555359211182989noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2628537567061021308.post-69351470203391203732023-10-27T06:30:00.000-05:002023-10-27T06:30:07.916-05:00Bullshit Influences Our Beliefs<i>One of the most salient features of our culture is that there is so much bullshit. Everyone knows this. Each of us contributes his share. But we tend to take the situation for granted. <br><br>
People are rather confident of their ability to recognize bullshit and to avoid being taken in by it. So the phenomenon has not aroused much deliberate concern, nor attracted must sustained inquiry. <br><br>
Since bullshit need not be false, it differs from lies in its misrepresentational intent. The bullshitter may not deceive us, or even intend to do so, either about the facts or about what he takes the facts to be. <br><br>
What he does necessarily is attempt to deceive us about his enterprise. His only indispensably distinctive characteristic is that in a certain way he misrepresents what he is up to. <br><br></i>
Princeton Professor Harry G. Frankfurt wrote the 2005 bestseller, On Bullshit. The professor's small book packs a powerful awareness punch. There is an element of Professor Frankfurt's topic incorporated into our belief structure. And we use it in everyday communications. It is one of those hidden belief birds. Hidden belief birds are the unverifiable thoughts that fly around our belief birdcage. <br><br>
Bullshit helps create choices, perceptions, and experiences. It’s easy to use, and we do an excellent job of camouflaging it. But it’s not hidden in the inner messages we send to other people. We all subjectively pick up elements of bullshit in conversations. <br><br>
Bullshit influences our consciousness. It is a vibrational disruptor. We use it to answer questions. Questions we know nothing about—Or may only know a little about. When that strategy appears to work, the routine continues. Then we add more bullshit to those thoughts. <br><br>
Those disruptive thoughts come from fear. And from the fear, we develop an unhealthy form of accomplishment. Then we internally celebrate our disrupting victory by continuing to add more bullshit to the mix.
Bullshit may not be false, as Frankfurt points out. But it is an exaggeration of an impulse or a group of impulses. Bullshit paints an attractive perception where none exists. <br><br>
So, in one sense, Bullshit is a tool of awareness that helps close a perceived gap in conformity. We try conforming, but our type of consciousness has innate individuality in its perceptual organization.
Events rise out of each other in a profusion of creativity. Bullshit can be a main ingredient in that spontaneous expansion of awareness.

T<i>he first and foremost aim of each political party is to prevail over the other in order to get into power or to stay in it. But, no leadership is absolute. <br><br>
Political leadership exerted according to the democratic method is even less so than are others because of that competitive element which is of the essence of democracy.<br><br></i>
Professor Joseph Schumpeter wrote those thoughts in his 1942 book Capitalism, Socialism and Democracy. From 1925 to 1932, Schumpeter was the Department of Economics chairman at the University of Bonn. He fled Nazi rule in 1932 and became a professor of economics at Harvard. He taught at Harvard until he passed in 1950. <br><br>
In his book, Schumpeter talks about the political structure of democracy. He said the primary function of the popular vote is to produce a government in a democracy. We all have the right to object to political leadership. But only the elected few get the chance to change the government's social direction. Political leaders from both parties usually respond to political threats by taking a middle course, which includes subtly insisting on discipline and putting up backdoor roadblocks that thwart political enemies.<br><br>
Political leaders temper pressure using judicial concessions, a thirst for compliments, and half-baked promises. Those political maneuvers usually result in a considerable amount of media attention. Media attention motivates politicians to act in a ritual-heavy way while other issues sit in a boiling pot of political rhetoric.<br><br>
The two-party system is an ever-changing structure. Our elected officials may not focus on issues that promote public welfare even though they believe in and agree on fixing blaring issues. Both parties create flexible principles that promote the success of their party. But those principles may not enhance the success of democracy.<br><br>

<b>Can you find another market like this? Where, with your one rose you can buy hundreds of rose gardens? <br><br>
Where for one seed you get a whole wilderness? For one weak breath, the divine wind?<br><br>
You've been fearful of being absorbed in the ground or drawn up by the air. Now, your waterbead lets go and drops into the ocean, where it came from.<br><br>
It no longer has the form it had, but it's still water. The essence is the same. This giving up is not a repenting, it's a deep honoring of yourself.<br><br></b>
Rumi explains a lot about our existence in his poem<i> The Seed Market</i>. The ancient poet understood humans live in a seed market where every thought is a seed. Thought seeds grow and become beliefs that influence our choices and perceptions. Our thoughts are just like our cells. They create and support our body's consciousness. Our choices help create perceptions. Perceptions are energy projections. They help produce our individual and mass reality.<br><br>
Emotionally charged thoughts create a psychological bridge where similar emotional impulses breed. When we produce an abundance of emotional perceptions, we attract the perception of others, and common beliefs develop.<br><br>
Some beliefs start before birth. They are in our DNA. Our DNA beliefs are our hidden beliefs. They manifest with our parents' help. Hidden and physically-created beliefs give us a sense of who we are. And who we want to avoid being. Our beliefs have a strong defense. Any thought that does not conform to an accepted belief system is an invader. War is part of our hidden belief system. We are warriors who defend our perceptions and the perceptions of other like-minded thinkers.<br><br>
The thought we exist and participate in a fourth level of consciousness awareness is one of those invading thoughts. Our old impulses want to keep our belief system functioning in just one particular area of three-dimensional moments of awareness. But when we allow a fourth-dimensional state of awareness to mix with our current physical focus, the experiences we create from those positive invading thoughts change our three-dimensional reality.<br><br>
As Rumi said: "For one rose, we could buy hundreds of rose gardens." Any thought can produce abundance like that —if it has a fluid connection to our inner personality. That means we believe we create what we experience. We are what we think. And when we change what we think about who we are, we begin to understand our thought-seed market sits open within us.

The cheating, however cannot last, the will wishes to be enlightened, to be free, to be by itself.
Ignorance always presupposes the existence of something outside and unknown.<br><br>
This unknown outside is generally termed the ego or soul, which is in reality the will itself in a state of ignorance.</strong></em><br /><br />
D.T. Suzuki, in his 1926 essay <em>Enlightenment and Ignorance </em>throws a spotlight on the separation within the self. Separation puts beliefs in categories and experiences in action. We are educated ignorant egos that prance around different stages of reality and search for the unknown that is firmly squeezing us with energetic awareness.<br /><br />
We have a tendency to believe that thoughts not used fall off a mind-cliff and disappear. We usually can’t hold thoughts in our physical consciousness for very long, unless we make them beliefs. But other thoughts not considered beliefs or pertinent to current perceptions continue to manifest in other realities. We experience them in those other realities. But we forget them in our physical state of ignorance.<br /><br />
Understanding the true dimensions of the soul is a goal that exists within us.
Sensing inner worlds is a necessity because individual and mass present comprehension continues to expand in past and futures realities. Each reality knows its own potentials and no form of consciousness however small is ever lost.<br /><br />
In that framework, the past and the future exist in probable worlds. Each experience creates new questions just as a writer creates new stories. We travel to new positions with the psyche constantly and we set out on new psychic pilgrimages in dreams. We experience unknown realities within our own consciousness in dreams, but we also experience them in the waking state. Unused thoughts create a stage where all probabilities manifest in some way.<br /><br />
The splendor of this reality and the creations of consciousness in physical form show how our species express iself as we expand in our current state of Ignornace.

The events you bring upon yourself, no matter how unpleasant, they are necessary in order to learn what you need to learn. <br><br>
Whatever step you take is necessary to reach the place you’ve chosen to go. <br><br></i></b>
Richard Bach wrote that thought in his book Messiah’s Handbook. Bach reminds us that our mistakes have creativity flowing through them. They open the door for unforeseen probabilities that change the course of our life. <br><br>
We learn from all our thoughts and actions. The actions we call mistakes are nothing more than a choice that conflicts with our belief in right and wrong. The words right and wrong are associations. They mold our core belief structure. <br><br>
The ego does not know where to go until it gets there. Many egos get there and still do not know where they are. Our beliefs hinder us from knowing the meaning of getting there. <br><br>
In one sense, we never go anywhere. All things come to us through our probability bank. We act out our chosen probabilities and mix them with a seasoned cup of time. <br><br>
That mixture creates our waking reality. As we stir this mixture with thoughts and emotions, we feel the creations that develop from the electromagnetic concoctions that dress our ego. We live in a whirlpool of influences and associations that mold our awareness. <br><br>
Awareness is where we are going. We never get to the point where we stop expanding. We are always in motion, but we never go anywhere. We are right where we choose to be as we wait to experience another whirlpool of influences and experience them in one unique way or another.

<i>Jesus Christ belonged to the true race of prophets. He saw with open eye the mystery of the soul. Drawn by its severe harmony, ravished with its beauty he lived in it, and had his being there. <br><br>
Alone in all history, he estimated the greatness of man. One man was true to what is in you and me. <br><br>
He saw that God incarnates himself in man, and evermore goes forth anew to take possession of his world. Jesus said, in this jubilee of sublime emotion: <br><br>
<b>‘I am divine. Through me, God acts; through me, God speaks. Would you see God see me; or, see thee, when thou also thinkest as I now think.’ <br><br></i></b>
Ralph Waldo Emerson, Boston minister, poet, lecturer, and essayist, wrote those thoughts in his controversial 1838 Divinity School Address. Emerson got down and dirty during that address. He talked about how ancient messages get distorted by narrow-minded fanatics who want to control the ignorant. <br><br>
We function using man-created laws. And we call them laws of God. Cooperation is one of the keys to our being. But we tend to judge experiences that conflict with our belief about sexual expressions and many other physical expressions born in our core belief structure. We fear the unknown. So we push our bisexual nature away from our reality. And we condemn those that bring it forth. <br><br>
Bisexuality is a scary perception for some folks. It violates one of those human-made laws even though the larger pattern of human personhood demands a bisexual affiliation. That affiliation provides a framework where individuals can express feelings and abilities that follow the natural expression of their sexual psyche. <br><br>
Our consciousness is a psyche bank where all beliefs exist. There are no differences in one sex or another in that bank. That would lead to a pattern that’s too rigid for the development of our species. <br><br>
Some beliefs tend to be biologically pertinent. They create some of our later life experiences. Other core beliefs develop through associations and influences. Those associations change as we become more aware of who we are. Old core beliefs don’t disappear. They reinvent themselves as new beliefs wrapped in newly discovered truths. <br><br>Those beliefs, along with our ever-changing core beliefs, create a psychic highway of experiences that move us toward unity. <br><br>
Unity is a psyche place. Present or past rumors of separation do not exist. It is the place where great gifts thrive in the art of appreciating and accepting yourself for being one of the many inner selves who possess incredible creative abilities.

Spoke in her cheeks,<br><br>
And so distinctly wrought,<br><br>
That one might almost say,<br><br>
Her body thought.</i><br><br>
John Donne, the 17th-century poet, wrote those thoughts in his 1611 work <i>Of The Progress Of The Soul.</i> We don’t realize how much our body means to us. We’re too busy listening to the static we create from our fears. We forget about our molecules and cells. In a sense, they have their own mind connected to the mind of the unknown.<br><br>
Cells constantly reinvent themselves. Emotional thoughts alter cellular functions. We don’t give ourselves credit for the changes we experience every day. It’s always something outside us that changes how we look, feel, and react.<br><br>
We don’t take credit for creating an outward appearance that tells us about our inward state of cellular operation. The atoms in our cells dip in and out a delicious mixture of consciousness that responds to our beliefs, thoughts, and emotions. If those three ingredients have influences in their molecular structure that taint our connection to our non-physical personality, the cells respond to the perceptions and thoughts about them.<br><br>
We want to hold someone or something accountable for what we create. Creation is too strong a word to own.<br><br>
But we do create, and our bodies think. They show us the true meaning of “expose yourself.” All we are and all we become is not by chance. It is by choice. Regardless of our internal cellular state, we have the ability to change it. We can send messages to the body that give the cells the energy they need to achieve personal value fulfillment.<br><br>
The blood that speaks in our cheeks is the same timeless energy that speaks through our cells. That energy is the voice of creation. Call creation what you think it is. And as you do, it will change.

<i>Albert Einstein<br><br>
1929 Conversation With
Rabbi Herbert S. Goldstein <br><br></i>
Baruch de Spinoza, the 17th-century Dutch philosopher, was one of the early enlightenment thinkers. Spinoza was a vocal proponent of Rationalism. After his death, his modern approach to defining the universe and the self became a way of knowing. <br><br>
When Albert Einstein gave lectures at U.S. universities, students often asked him about his belief in God.
Einstein always answered the same way:<br><br>
<i>“I believe in the God of Spinoza.” <br><br></i>
Professor Einstein’s thoughts on Spinoza’s belief in God did not change when he gave his lectures. The basic premise Spinoza believed was God wanted people to stop worshiping him. He wanted them to reconnect to the non-physical being within them. Spinoza told his followers the energy called God wants you to go out into the world and enjoy your life. He wants you to sing, have fun and enjoy everything you created with God’s sharing energy.<br><br>
Einstein’s explanation of Spinoza’s remarks went something like the message below. Each lecture had his unique delivery flavor, but the meat of his message was the same.<br><br>
(Spinoza): <i>Your God wants you to quit going into those churches and temples. He never said he needed a home. His house is in nature. It is the energy within oceans, mountains, rivers, beaches, and the energy within you.<br><br>
If your life feels miserable, change it. God never said you have innate flaws or you have to pay for the sins of others. And he never said sexuality is a bad thing. Sex is a gift that expresses your love, your joy, and ecstasy. Do not blame God for what society made you believe about sex.<br><br>
Forget about all those sacred scriptures that have nothing to do with what God is. If you cannot see God’s energy in a sunrise, you will not find God in a book or a church.<br><br>
Please stop fearing God. No God judges or criticizes. That means he would always judge and criticize a part of his consciousness. God’s Love Is All There Is. And stop asking for forgiveness. There’s nothing to forgive. Why would God blame you if he is part of you?<br><br>
How can He punish anyone for being the way they are? God is what you are. Do you think he could create a place where a part of him suffers for the rest of eternity? And a place where you rest forever? What kind of God would do that? Energy is in motion in many forms, so consciousness is never idle. You create heaven or hell in your physical life.<br><br>
You have inner freedom. Forget about prizes or punishments, as well as sins. No one carries a pre-birth marker. God wants you to feel him in a blade of grass and the cells in your body. He wants you to feel value fulfillment in your relationships and your world. Believing in joy and the natural beauty within you is all the praise God needs.<br><br>
Life is not a test, not a step to something else. It is not a rehearsal or a prelude to paradise. Your life is the only thing here and now. And God and you experience it together.<br><br>
You are here to physically feel your emotions and beliefs. The gestalt called God expands from each perceived experience.

<i>I dreamt I was a butterfly, fluttering hither and thither to all intents and purposes a butterfly. I was conscious only of my happiness as a butterfly, unaware that I was Chuang Tzu.
Soon I awakened, and there I was, veritably myself again. Now I don’t know whether I was then a man dreaming I was a butterfly or whether I am a butterfly dreaming I am a man.</i><br><br>
Chuang Tzu, the 4th century philosopher, wrote those thoughts. Chuang Tzu and Lao Tzu, another ancient Chinese philosopher, established the philosophical foundation for Taoism over twenty-three hundred years ago. <br><br>
Taoist believe a non-physical force is the source of all things physical. Everything is non-physical before becoming physical. Chuang Tzu called that force The Tao or Dao. The Tao’s philosophical teachings are all about connecting with the non-physical self in order to connect to The Tao. <br><br>
People who perform actions without intention, as well as display spontaneity, humility, simplicity, compassion, and naturalness, are what Chuang Tzu calls following The Way. Taoism is still one of the five religions recognized by the government of China.<br><br>
Chuang Tzu’s dream about being a butterfly shows how tuned-in he was to another aspect of his personality. He couldn’t tell if his dreaming self was his reality or his waking self was authentic. To his dreaming self, it seems his waking self is a dream within a dream. We believe our dreaming self is a product of our waking self.<br><br>
But when we consider our non-physical personality was active before our waking self, it seems logical that the dream self is a catalyst for the waking self.
When religious beliefs stand aside, we realize we were something somewhere before birth. The dreaming self is the perfect candidate to be that self.<br><br>
We physically feel what we create through our core and satellite beliefs, perceptions, and choices. We create the feeling-reality we experience in every moment. Our emotionally charged expectations, beliefs, and desires have a psychological energy within them. And we paint a moving picture of reality that matches those convictions.<br><br>
We all have the ability to be a butterfly on our dream journey. During those journeys, we are whatever we want to be. We perform superhuman acts and meet other forms of consciousness that live but don’t exist in a physical state. Dreams seem real because they are. They give the physical self and the non-physical a chance to work together.<br><br>
That free-flowing energy creates manifestations that offer the experiences and lessons we emotionally feel but may not remember. We become the butterfly. And the person who created that manifestation. In order to physically sense the versatility of our non-physical personality.

He argues and analyzes in a way which he would readily recognize as infantile within the sphere of his real interests." </i><br><br>
In his 1942 book, <i>Capitalism, Socialism and Democracy,</i> Joseph A. Schumpeter, the 20th-century Austrian-born political economist and Harvard professor, make the obvious more obvious. Professor Schumpeter explains why we experience the political earthquakes that have most people in a state of anger, fear, frustration, and disbelief. We sit and watch as good old devious behavior continues to duplicate itself.<br><br>
Capitalistic politicians (Capoliticians) begin to march in sync with greed, revenge, and the other negative personal perks long buried in the capitalistic political system. Men and women change when the herd mentality of politics offers them power and the financial rewards that come with control. The urge to help the country turns into a quest to stay in office at almost any cost.<br><br>
Not all the elected march to the beat of their party’s plan. Those people have a hard time getting anything done. The Party mindset and endless reelection chaos and suggestions loom over every party decision. <br><br>
Despite marketing rhetoric from both parties, neither one has a credible track record when it comes to controlling spending or addressing issues that increase the well-being of voters. The same economic, social, religious, and racist issues in the minds of millions of voters centuries ago still overflow on the flaming stove of party politics.<br><br>
We live the modern form of political slavery. That kind of slavery tilts the scales of wealth in a one-sided, creative, destructive way. Newly elected politicians attach themselves to the capitalistic gravy train while millions swim against the political current in survival mode.<br><br>
The only truth in the Capolitical system is there is no truth. Nothing’s more obvious than the unobvious in our form of government. Our blue and red politicians survive on misinformation and inaccurate perceptions. The perception that hatred of war brings peace is just one of the fallacies we learn to accept.<br><br>
Political hatred creates more hate. Hate never brings peace. Only the love of peace brings peace. But there is no peace when politicians wear their colors of aggression. Modern-day political aggressiveness dresses in suits of rightful social character, and it walks in moral stilettoes. And that hidden agenda aggressiveness keeps the country in a state of social and economic trauma.<br><br>
We create what we experience using our perceptions and the beliefs that produce them. In this political environment, our perceptions scream for social justice and freedom. But the system is on life support. It’s tangled in its distorted web of redundancy.<br><br>
Change is the engine on the perception train. We have the ability to turn the tide in our political system. We can do that by being responsible for what we create. <br><br>
It’s time to realize we create these political situations. We created the rascals that fuel them in order to live the drama. And whatever value fulfillment comes out of the spontaneous order or disorder that develops.
