ALL WE NEED TO KNOW

Republished by Blog Post Promoter

Everything we know, and need to know, to understand “the universe(s)” was stated simply and precisely by Douglas Adams.  As one maniac to another, I think the universe is what we agree it is. – Lawrence R. Spencer

“In the beginning the Universe was created. This has made a lot of people very angry and has been widely regarded as a bad move.”

“If there’s any real truth, it’s that the entire multidimensional infinity of the Universe is almost certainly being run by a bunch of maniacs.”

HEDONISM (PARTY-EAT-DRINK-SCREW-TILL-YOU-DIE-ISM)

(painting by Thomas Couture: Romans of the decadence)

It’s hard to argue with the ages old philosophy of hedonism. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hedonism 

We are confronted on Earth with the reality that we are mortal. We inhabit a body of fragile flesh that will die. We live on a Prison Planet. We are surrounded by perpetual pain: death, taxes and with religious and scientific superstitions that ensure our perpetual stupidity.  The idea of “freedom” to which we feel entitled as a “natural right” of Caucasian Conquers of the “barbarians” of North America, Africa, the Middle East, etc., has been stolen from us by Rothschild Private Banks who own the private military / police force and politicians they control. We are the “peasants”.  We obey, we do the heavy lifting, we do the menial work, we pay taxes, we kill each other on battle fields of perpetual warfare, and we die a certain an eternal death.  As spiritual entities we have been given amnesia.  We do not remember Who We Really Are, or where we came from, or who brought us to this planet.  We are isolated and forgotten on a infinitesimally tiny speck of dust on the fringe of a remote galaxy.  We are lost….forever, and ever.  So, when faced the the brutal reality of our insignificantly abysmal existence, it seems that the only “logical” option is to “get drunk and screw and party till you die”.  (and start all over again when you are reincarnated as a “stinky baby”…..ad infinitum).

ANAGRAMS

Republished by Blog Post Promoter

 

 

 

Anagram (AN-uh-gram)    noun: A word or phrase formed by rearranging the letters of another word or phrase.  verb: To rearrange letters in such a way. To anagrammatize.    [From Greek anagrammatismos, ana- (up, again, back, new) + -gram (letter).

 Examples of Anagrams:

Sherlock Homes = Crooks Hell Mesh

Dormitory = Dirty Room

Dictionary = Indicatory

Schoolmaster = The classroom

Elvis = Lives

Listen = Silent

Clint Eastwood = Old West Action

Mother-in-law = Woman Hitler

President Barack Hussein Obama: a maniac presides. the banks rob u

William Shakespeare: I’ll make a wise phrase

Jay Leno: Enjoy L.A.

Gene Simmons: Immense Song

Motley Crue: Me Cruel Toy

The Morse Code = Here Come Dots

The eyes = They see

Barbie doll = Liberal bod

Here are some practical uses of anagrams:

Informal encryption  Replace each word (or line) of your document with its anagram. Of course, it doesn’t give you military-grade encryption but for most informal applications, anagrams are serviceable.

Also Newton supposedly used an anagram in describing calculus in a letter to Leibniz. See this and the book A Passion for Mathematics: Numbers, Puzzles, Madness, Religion, and the Quest for Reality (page 30).

Generating passwords  It’s a good idea to have a separate password for each email account, online account, etc. What’s difficult is having to remember all those passwords. Try using various anagrams of your favorite word or phrase as passwords.

Generating mnemonics
Divination  Not sure of the best course of action? Whether to major in computer science or in philosophy at college… whether to start a comics store or a pet-sitting business? Let anagrams serve as your oracle. For example, if your name is Joe Smith, try anagramming “Joe Smith philosophy” and “Joe Smith computer science”, and see what anagrams divine for you. Try these tips for finding great anagrams.

Securely recording secret numbers (by Brian Thompson)  Never keep a copy of your pin number, membership number, online banking pass number … So we are advised. I find it impossible to remember strings of numbers, but like most people, I find that a memorable phrase is easily recalled. Your number is tied to a phrase (Subject) which is anagrammed. The resulting permutation of the number string may then be written down with the Subject. You need only remember the anagram!

PALE BLUE DOT

Republished by Blog Post Promoter

Here is a retrospective observation of our place in the universe by the late Carl Sagan.  Although we did not evolve on Earth, and Earth is not truly our “home”, it is the only planet we can inhabit at this moment in the Eternal Now…. Let’s each be responsible as Sentient Beings who inhabit this tiny, fragile Pale Blue Dot….  It’s the only “home” we are likely to have for a very, very long time.

FOUR QUESTIONS OF VALUE IN LIFE

Republished by Blog Post Promoter

There are only four questions of value in life, Don Octavio:

What is Sacred ?  Of what is the Spirit made?  What is worth living for ?  What is worth dying for ?  What is the meaning of Life ?

The answer is the same for all: Only love.

— Lord Byron visa vie the film “Don Juan DiMarco”

SOMETHING MUCH BIGGER

Republished by Blog Post Promoter

We are each a part of something much bigger.  Being responsible for that “something” is an act of courage and responsibility.  If we refuse or ignore this reality of our existence on Earth, we are doomed to endure the pain of imprisonment in the flesh for the rest of Eternity.  We  Perceive and Experience what we Cause: nothing more, nothing less…. However, we can UNDO what we have caused.  But, we must first acknowledge that WE are the cause of it.  As Gautama Siddhartha, The Buddha, said, “No one can cleanse another.  Only you can cleanse your self.”
