This Comment is for the Terence McKenna video talking about the impacts of culture on our lives, and Robert Anton Wilson talking about why we shouldn’t blindly believe the things people say.
We can’t let the negative aspects of our culture suck us in, control and shape us. Don’t follow any practice, or ritual, or party, or group of people who are doing things which you don’t agree with. Don’t do anything you don’t want to do. Don’t do anything you don’t believe in. Don’t follow anyone else’s BS. Listen to yourself and follow your own reason and common sense. We are all unique individuals, magnificent in our own ways. Don’t allow main-stream culture to dictate who you become and form your person. Become whoever you want to become. Trust your intuition and have faith, those who look inside for answers are all learning from the same teacher. Consciousness resides inside all of us and it’s guiding us all in the same direction. You are a lot more unique, talented, courageous, and fucking awesome than you ever imagined, TRUST ME! Just Find yourself, then express it. Be the person you know you can be. Become your Dream
Hello conscious and rational human beings out there. Can anyone else see the madness in this??
People spending days and weeks camped out to purchase a new i-phone is insane. I would be upset if it was any other company, this has nothing to do with apple, I have friends who work at Apple and even have a mac computer at home but this video highlights a lot of things which are wrong in our societies. To me, it is sad and irrational that it is perfectly okay to camp out for weeks on the streets waiting for a new i-phone but if you want to camp out in the streets to send out messages of defiance, messages against consumerist culture, messages of care for the natural environment, messages of revolution, message of change, messages of love, then you are removed with force or with the threat of force, you are beaten away from the streets or sent to prison. It is critical for a healthy democracy to have open public spaces for people to gather in. Like Evelyn Beatrice Hall said in her biography of Voltaire, “I disapprove of what you say, but I will defend to the death your right to say it”. You can disagree with the Occupy movement but one thing is for sure: they understood the truth about the streets. The truth is that the streets don’t belong to any authority, they don’t belong to corporations, they don’t belong to anyone in particular, the streets belong to the public, the streets belong to the people. The people involved in the Occupy movement understood and exercised their rights to freedom of speech. They occupied public spaces to speak their truths and share and discuss things which truly mattered to them. But in this crazy world we live in, it is sometimes “illegal” to stand up for what is right. Like Voltaire wisely said, “It is dangerous to be right, when the government is wrong”

Paperman is a wonderful Oscar nominated short by Disney. It’s a very special moment when the right two people meet each other. What is it that attracts us in special ways to certain people? is it fate or Destiny or is it randomness and luck? It might sound magical, but i think there is a special force released when you meet a special somebody, as if some part of your being knows that this is no ordinary person. This mysterious force, once its released, will draw you inexplicably and irresistibly unto one another. Like the pull between two magnets it cannot be seen but it is there. Do you believe in magic?
What you put out into the world gets reflected back at you. I like to believe that all the shit and negativity people put out comes back to haunt them just like all the good people do gets returned one way or another. You decide what to put out to the world but remember to be kind and help others because life works in unexpected ways and you never know when you will need a kind and helping hand. Believe in the golden rule; do good unto others and others will do good to you. Be good, and when you need it, kindness and help will come.
The genius of Anis Mojgani expressing itself in the art of Spoken Word. In this Poetry Slam he shows us the powerful effects of words while trying to communicate the message of his soul. Much respect to this kind of beautiful work.
In our small planet, at this moment, we face a critical branch-point in History. What we do with our world right now will propagate down through the centuries and powerfully affect the destiny of our descendants.

Joe Rogan and Brian Callen talk about how important it is to have inspiring people around you. If someone you know is doing something truly great with their time and energy don’t hate on them, rather use them as motivation to better yourself and do all that you are capable of doing. Haters are unrealized potential, people who didn’t work hard to become the person they were capable of being. Like Nelson Mandela said, “there is no passion to be found in settling for a life that is less than the one you are capable of living. You have to work you ass off for the things you want, it wouldn’t be worth it if you didn’t. Have the courage and perseverance to turn your dreams into reality, and once you do your life will inspire others to follow their dreams.
