Ethos

July 30th, 2009 by Jeremy

One of my friends on Facebook said,
(this is not a direct quote)

“Ethos is a virtue..not everybody can have…you are either taught by your parents..or you are not in your young age…Therefore, no matter how much you say you have it…you do not! So be careful of your actions…show who you are!!”

Ethos is a Greek word which means ‘moral,  showing moral character’ or ’state of being’, according to Wikipedia.

For the most part, her statement is true; but saying “you have it or you don’t” is like saying “Once a _______, always a _______”, which is not always true. She does illustrate a positive message, however.

Speaking of haves and have nots, I now have a guest book. Go and sign it!

Guess what I didn’t have for breakfast.

Green egg and blam.

green_egg

…There is a very real and scientific reason why eggs turn green: it is due to a reaction between the hydrogen sulfide in the egg white with the iron in the yolk to form iron sulfide, a harmless but unfortunately unappealing grey/green compound. It is this same compound that can form a grey skin around the yolk of hard boiled eggs…

I still didn’t eat it.

The only other egg in the box exploded when I picked it up.

Riposte

July 29th, 2009 by Jeremy

Although I haven’t been as ‘religious’ as I wanted to be with my journal, I’ve done enough so far to keep track of my own whereabouts. I like this- because it will be far easier to construct this period of time in my autobiography when I get ‘there’.

In that interest, a very important event has happened. For those of you who have read the progress of my autobiography, I have found two very old friends mentioned in it; Truc and Heip. This happened on the 11th. I’m very happy to say that we’ve all been in very close contact ever since :D

In other news, the rayne nouvelle site has been revamped. Music has been uploaded to this site, but has yet to become integrated. Which reminds me- I need to email Dani her song before anyone else has a chance to hear it.

I am still doing well without cigarettes. I don’t need them anymore. However- my philosophies about the approach other people take to ‘quitting’ them haven’t really changed. I’ll be honest- I HAVE smoked on occasion since then, but this does not make me a failure at my attempts to ’seriously cut down’ as I call it. More time has been spent doing without and that makes me happy enough.

The biggest news that I have is that I have started working on Chapter 3 of ME-T. When it is finished, I’ll post it here in the same fashion as the other two.

Onward.

We sometimes move through life as though we are in a dream. We see with an eye we hardly use in comparison to the other two as we move about in the other realms which open to us as we sleep. Sometimes we know what we are looking for but forgot where we put it or never knew in what direction it has since traveled. There are things that stay with us for the whole of our lives, yet hide in the background on occasion. Whether or not I like it, this goes for dispositions as well. For myself, it is the neverending journey to achieve a substancially higher plane of self, as opposed to merely fulfilling the human processes to an ‘acceptable’ degree. This means that I aim to have all of my chakras clear and passive, my visions consistently manifesting, my successes (in business, education, science and art) immeasureable by any means, my family started and growing and my legacy written (or otherwise recorded) and shared.

Every great legacy requires both a great person and many other people to help him make the intended impact. While that one great person has enough foresight, energy and motivation to drive his legacy to completion, he still needs little pushes and praises along the way. For us, it is that one person who has achieved the impossible who becomes our hero; while for him, it is they who have positively influenced his legacy that are his heroes.

Care that you do not ever feel that your life is motionless; because it is always in motion. If you seek someone to carry you through to your legacy, you’ll have nothing more than an ordinary life. If you take care to be inspired by and learn from everything, you are undoubtedly setting yourself up to be a real hero.

I hope that, one day, I will inspire you to do great things. That’s the whole point behind this entire effort named Burrowdeep. We are all great people; we just need to be brave enough to admit it and become those great people. Burrow deep within yourself. I know that you will find at least one treasure for which there could be no price.

What I would do with $2,000,000.

July 26th, 2009 by Jeremy

I would create three companies.

There are three facets of humanity that I wish to address, all of which take into consideration the importance of human happiness. Each of these companies will address one singularly and in such a way that makes its investment effective for both the company and its patrons.

The first is a company which I have already formed. Rayne Nouvelle, a company entirely dedicated to creating client-inspired jewelry, accessories and connoisseur collectibles, it caters to a person’s aesthetic side. Each and every one of us should be able to express ourselves aesthetically without having to endure a constant barrage of advertising telling them what they want. I am of the opinion that most people will forgo the buying of jewelry to any great extent during some phases and trends which fashion takes unto itself. I recognize a seriously lacking care for what people really want in a specific manner as jewelry companies have placed importance on the simple act of owning jewelry. While there are so many items which span over many different styles within the inventories of these companies, there is still the issue of supply and demand. Of those pieces which best fit their client’s particular tastes, which of those pieces really express what they really want to express? Clients should be able to go to a location or website and order what they want comprehensively; without being drowned in all kinds of processes or miscellaneous advertisement from other facets of the company.  Beyond a list of things which they can order from, the service would be all-encompassing and limitless. Any pieces created in the designer’s collections would be there simply to inspire the client and to tell them of what the company from which they are ordering is capable.

The second is an Irish-style Public House and Tavern called ‘Boadicea’(bo-ahdee’-seeuh), which is dedicated to the human need to be social. Inspired by County Clare of Milwaukee, Wisconsin, The Irish hospitality throughout the whole of The Boadicea Public House would be law. Not only will each client be afforded familiarity and personal contact from the bartenders and wait-staff, but the staff themselves will be encouraged to act personably and sincerely towards clients. While Irish cuisine and beverages are among the main products that Boadicea has to offer, it is the environment itself which will promote the gathering of upper-middle class to high class patrons at the pub. Additionally, there will be a 40 room tavern above the main social areas which will be heavily promoted through traveling agencies providing services to and from Ireland, Scotland, Wales and England. This is to maximize the opportunity for Americans to be among those from the UK in a friendly, warm atmosphere and to further stimulate an interest in travel to the UK.

Finally, I would put into affect a business specifically designed to generate low-cost consultation for businesses in trouble, those which are in ’start-up’ mode , professionals who need to run ideas off of someone or managers who want to improve their leadership skills. Those found under the employ of this business would be volunteers asked for their assistence “if the service helped them with their business”. Not only does the volunteer have the opportunity to make their money back, the experience would be considered ‘continuing education’ in the resulting extention of the flow of ideas.  The object of the business is to create and institute ideas among business professionals as well as potentially establish dependable networks between professionals and businesses. Volunteers may stay as long as they want. Those seeking the services of this organization may do so perpetually. Those who fall in love with the idea of this business may become members and further help it grow. The company would be called the ‘AFM Organization’.

I have other company ideas as well, yet the aforementioned are those I wish to pursue.

Etymology

July 23rd, 2009 by Jeremy

A new love :)

For nearly the whole of my life, I have tried to take things apart to find similarities and correlations. Today, my search was for the prefix “eu-”, which means ‘good’. How I came to this was purely by accident, which must be explained in detail to support my passage of thought.

Right now, I have 13 browser windows open- most of which were opened yesterday and saved for further review today. Most of them trace my learning of the Pineal Gland, in the following order: Pineal Gland, Melatonin, Harmine (which appears to activate the pineal gland), Pineal Gland and the ‘Third Eye’, Taoism- Walking the invisible path and finally, Wen Winger- Proven Techniques to boost your brain’s performance.

The importance of the Pineal Gland, scientifically, is the regulation of the hormone Melatonin, which is directly responsible for the transition through puberty and sexual maturation. Science, being as it is, has left a lot of important things about the Pineal Gland wholly out of context. The actual purpose of the pineal gland and its fruit, melatonin, is the achieving of growth and further enlightenment into higher phases of reasoning. I have read that entire systems have been dedicated to this area of the brain. For example, the Chinese have dedicated a whole chakra to it. Humanity, since the dawn of time, has realized its importance in spiritual growth without fully comprehending what was actually there. Monks use the OM (in such a frequency that vibrates the rear of the upper palette) to activate it. Interestingly enough, I have also read that certain species of butterfly and the herb known as tobacco ‘decalcifies’ and activates this gland when taken orally (Shulgin’s List).

Now, my current train of thought is directly associated with my mention of calcification. It is said that the normal pineal gland calcifies at around the age of twelve. This means that the gland, which is made up of soft tissue, accumulates calcium, which causes it to harden. As it transforms from its natural state, the gland produces less and less of the hormone Melatonin.

There is something else which causes the Pineal Gland to calcify. Fluoride, a man-made byproduct of Aluminum, which is predominantly used in dental care. Most toothpaste and mouthwash brands use this as the active ingredient to ‘prevent tooth decay and fight cavities’. Our government even loves us enough to put this substance in our tap water in the effort to distribute this ‘dental health’ agent evenly over the whole of the US. Here is some of their propaganda. They even care to mention that this is a measure specifically taken for children.

By drawing a very short line between your oral cavity and your Pineal Gland, you can quickly see why this insoluble solid is the preferred method of introduction. It is fact that the mouth is not only a cavity in which we render food into mash which can be swallowed, it is also the primary organ by which the brain absorbs nutrients. “They” know this too. In fact, toothpaste is considered a poison if swallowed. It is a neurotoxin, to be specific. Yet somehow, mouthwash and toothpaste is safe to do its job in your mouth and the mouth of your child.

Since I have quit smoking, I try my best to keep lingering tastes to a minimum, especially that of coffee. Though I’ve known about fluoridation for years, I’m thinking about it this morning as I clean my teeth. I then take the time to apply deodorant as well. I am not an extremely avid wearer of deodorant (I shave my armpits to reduce the necessity of application), but I decide that I might as well educate myself on this as well. I read that the active ingredient in my anti-perspirant is Aluminum Zirconium. We sure love our Aluminum, don’t we.

Interesting fact: Alzheimer’s is caused by the buildup of Aluminum in the brain.

What is wrong with this picture? I feel like I’m waking up from a bad dream, only to discover that it really is happening!!!

I then start thinking about other methods of hygiene and wonder  what hygiene really meant. The word itself means “The Healthful Art”, but the methods by which we pursue cleanliness and good hygiene are anything but healthy- especially for someone who considers himself on a path to higher understanding.

Throughout my life,  I have been unknowingly subjected to poisons which focus on the death of the higher-mind. It is no wonder that I have had to work so hard to attain something that is otherwise so natural. I find it easy to cast aside ‘facts’ that are taught to us because of my understanding of the nature of fact (which I will discuss later, possibly in one of my tenets).  Despite this, as a child, I drank up to four gallons of milk a week! I was on Ritalin for four years! I’ve been brushing my teeth almost every day since second grade.

While I am proud of myself for withstanding such blows to my parapsychological health, I’m doing everything I can to dissuade myself from considering myself tainted and beyond repair from the damage that has been already caused.

My particular interest in the prefix “Eu-”, found in my opening statements, comes from the study of the word “Euthanasia”, which I now find means “Mercy Killing” or “Good Death”.

I will continue this at a later time :) Know this, my dear reader- I am far from considering myself depressed in any manner of the word. I am on top of the world, seeking only a way further upward. I urge you to have belief in yourself despite all obstacles.

Capitalism

July 19th, 2009 by Jeremy

Sorcerer and Capitalist, an Entrepreneur is one alike a messiah who is able to transform any situation into one that profits not only himself, but also those around him. He is the creator of riches and the disseminator of poverty for those even indirectly involved with him or his circles of influence. It is no wonder why those who are within the range of the Socialist Scent want him confused, unfocused, medicated, uneducated and even dead. For socialists who demand the center stage of the New Market, the Entrepreneur is the master who constantly defiles the constricting plans to enforce file and control over both the worker and the buyer. As the socialist gains power, his plans to control even the entrepreneur also strengthen. The upcoming regime of power will come to call him a treasonous heretic and jail him for his power to disprove the new systems’ seemingly infallible state of being.

The questions concerning the necessity of the entrepreneur’s existence are dwindling to a halt as even those in the highest seats of power curse him with the responsibility of the current state of the economy. It is no wonder that the population believes these lies; as the common citizen of America is somehow leveled to being one of many in a state of poverty and government control. They have lost their jobs and all hope of finding others. The People are influenced to depend on government programs like welfare and assisted living while taxes to fund such programs are forced upon the shoulders of those still bearing the right to work for their living. Jealousy is injected like a poison into the jugular vein of society as they are told of those who have somehow manipulated the stock market into crashing. These money-hungry numbers responsible for this rift which siphons the rest of society’s capital worth are referred to as Capitalists; when such a label could not be further from the truth! This propaganda has caused an insane followership of those in like situations of destitution, diverting the focus of the riots to those who still have the power to generate money.

As this stranglehold takes effect and the black spots occur in the general population’s vision, two things are allowed to happen. The government receives praise for keeping the dying businesses alive while keeping this money-hording ‘capitalists’ from creating new businesses. The bigger picture comes more into focus for those who have refused to become blinded by these false heroics taken on by the government and the corporate giants: As the Socialist Empire of America spans the division between the insanely rich and the powerlessly impoverished, the Entrepreneur is hunted down and slandered in public because of the power he claims to have which may very well turn this abjection back into opportunity.

If this is the truth, why have so many people become subscribed to it? We, the People, are taught powerlessness in every facet of our lives; from employment to religion, through all forms of media. We are given stories that retain more and more consistency which seem to prove the immoveable nature of our dire situation. It continues to spiral further and further out of control, despite our efforts and hopes to turn it all around. We are subdued into caring about the war, our increasing gas prices, the carbon-dioxide output of our industries, the terrible interrogation techniques happening in Guantanamo and even the failures of the previous president. In our most anguished moments, we have turned to that one entity that seems to know what its doing. The Government, which has more than enough caring people to take on these challenges while we wrestle to regain control of our own lives, is given more and more power to resolve these issues for us. The tone of this granting of power is however indifferent; provided in a tone which sounds a lot like, “Yeah, whatever you need to put things back in order…”

Shame is upon us for allowing the government to openly siphon our bleeding hearts as it creates the oppression it needs to have our permission! The task to regenerate our economy and to further improve our standard of living is not for the government to take on. There are people among us who are specifically outfitted to deal with these situations. Trust in your fellow citizens to breathe life back into our markets, so that you may maintain the ability to buy nice things and create for your selves the lives that you all personally desire. Among them, you will find the Entrepreneur; those who will create your jobs and finer products. It is they that dream of a greater, more prosperous tomorrow. Do what it takes for them to find their way in control of the market once more. By your doing this, we Entrepreneurs promise to give your lives back.

Gasp!

Wait- Don’t do that anymore. There’s no reason to.  As of 2:00pm today, it will have been 48 hours without a cigarette. This does not mean that I’m quitting! I shall not obligate myself to a task of restraint of any sort! I might actually go buy a pack so I can have one a day.

I still get that feeling though- the one which causes me to wonder what I’m going to do instead of that. ‘They’ say that everyone has a vice. Smoking was mine. Coffee isn’t a vice, either. Oh well- I guess I’m going to settle for being perfect. :)

grr.

Beyond a Veil of Smoke, A Robin’s Nest

July 2nd, 2009 by Jeremy

Work is becoming a little more relaxed, though there is so much else to do. I determined last night that I would not go anywhere until I have made $10,000. I cleaned the house, took a shower and, satisfied with my resolve, have been happily working ever since. Right as I was completing my day with my day job, I went outside of my front door to have a cigarette, and behold, the robin that has been piously sitting in her nest has finally announced the coming of her young. She really sat there and sang as the little ones emerged. I was awe-struck. By the time I gathered my senses to get my camera and turn it on, the little mouths were already open and begging for food. I have a picture of that here.

robins 01

I also took a picture of the painting that I did that goes with this site. You can find that tucked away in my Art section.

Not that I consider this a waste of time, but there is ten grand to be made. Updates are coming soon.
