This section of the website are philosophical
insights. The author's interest is to find out why our world is encumbered with so many conflicts. The need for greed has
numerous interpretations such as power, money, and an image of a "Self" insulated with ideas, concepts, and forms. We live
our life in fleeting moments repeating patterns and we miss the mark of awakening our intelligence. Negation is the first
step in evolution in consciousness; a mutation transforming thought from the reptile brain into thought of an awakened
intelligence and sensitivity where humans are citizens of the Cosmos and protectors of all life on Earth.

The simplicity of Enlightenment
The simplicity of Enlightenment
is the discipline to find out what you are. Our mind is narrow and society and culture is limited and contrary to further
insight of "knowing you." The beauty of Enlightenment is the love of meditation because only the person meditating will have
the passion to engage in a radical psychological revolution. Enlightenment is a pathless land and the awareness the observer
is the observed are gems of wisdom. We have invented institutions and theories to deliver us from evil, darkness, and chaos;
however, no institution and authority has been successful. The awakening of the Intelligence is a possibility for every human
being; it requires a passion for meditation and insight that the journey is pathless. The meaning of "Meditation" by the author
is not mantra or sitting in a position for hours. There is no teacher or guru required for Meditation only the passion to
actively engage the mind in observing quietly and silently seeing no separation between the observer and the observed.

Our brain is driven:
Our brain is conditioned by our parents, society, and culture. We are driven
to act on impulses from boundaries self imposed, society, and inherited. A brain conditioned is repetitive and in a constant
pattern of ego centered activity. The repetition of the ego centered activity finds’ security in those boundaries; therefore, the
mind is narrow and find it difficult to empty and liberate boundaries of the self, religion, political, social, and cultural,
etc. The mind need security; however, our disorder is from false security because the brain is conditioned to think and
behave in a conditioned state. To live freer in the mind, a quality of passion and energy is essential to find out the pattern
of the ego centered activity. To find the pattern of the ego centered activity is the exploration of the nature of humanity
and the person's relationship to society, and new insight on human thought, death, intelligence, love, cosmic order, and the
problem of the fragment mind. To live freer in the mind, of course, takes energy to meditate and explore our
existence and condition. Living free in the mind is an awakening of intelligence and the fruit of that intelligence are compassion
and love, a natural condition. One must have a passion for inquiry and to explore one's condition requires a radical
psychological revolution, an insight with one's whole heart, mind, and being. As you can see, the root of all disorder
is psychological; however, it is possible through insight the mind can renew itself, healing the damage caused by wrong
function - our psychological condition. This requires going from one's narrow and particular interest toward the general,
and ultimately moving still deeper into that purity of compassion, love, and intelligence that originate in the ground beyond
thought, beyond time, even beyond emptiness.

Man took a wrong turn:
Five thousand years ago man took a wrong turn when he learned that he
is able to plunder and take slaves. After that, his main purpose of existence was just to exploit and plunder. Instead of
being constructive, and discovering new techniques and tools and so on, man at a certain time found it easier to plunder his
neighbors and use Slaves to exploit. The nature of Eminent Domain, Redevelopment, and Revitalization using condemnation as
a tool is the inherited disposition of our ancestors. We are conditioned to be aggressive and strengthen our ego not being
aware how destructive that may be.
Challenging the theory of Darwin:
The theory of the fittest is true in one respect, and
untrue to say the Mind evolved in Time. Physically, it seems there has been a process of evolution,
and that this has increased the capacity of the brain to do certain things. For example, the advances in medicine, science,
and technology required a larger brain. The part which the author views incorrect by the fittest theory is
that psychologically we have taken a turn to a wrong direction and no fault of our own we have strengthened and focus the
greatest energy in exploitation and plundering. It has become our habit to misuse our mind in a direction of conflict and
we resist and find it difficult to find out how and why we took a wrong turn.
Man in time is more sophisticated with his exploitation and plunder. Armed
with diplomas and degrees he disguises his aggression to justify his exploitation and plunder. The City of San Bernardino
and the San Bernardino Municipal Valley Water district are a classic example of our inherited behavior.Both authorities found
it easier to exploit and plunder opposed to finding innovative ways to revitalize the community without using condemnation
as a tool.
***
Integration of Heart and Mind:
Modern education, in developing the intellect, offers more and more theories
and facts without bringing about the understanding of the total process of human existence. We are highly intellectual; we
have developed cunning minds, and are caught up in explanations, but intelligence is not; and for the understanding of the
total process of existence, there must be an integration of the mind and heart in action. It is clear, then, that merely to
cultivate the intellect, which is to develop capacity or knowledge, does not result in intelligence. There is distinction
between intellect and intelligence. Intellect is thought functioning independently of emotion, whereas, intelligence is the
capacity to feel as well as to Reason and until we approach life with intelligence, instead of intellect alone, or with emotion
alone, no political or educational system in the world can save us from the toils of chaos and destruction.
The joint power authority lacked the "intelligence" to integrate emotion and
reason essential for insight in determining the realities of the North Lake project. Most likely, if the City of San Bernardino
looked at the project with "intelligence" the project would have taken a different turn. We have separated intellect from
feeling, and developed intellect at the expense of feeling.
We are trained to be intellectual, our education cultivates the intellect
to be sharp, cunning, acquisitive, and so it plays the most important role in our life. Intelligence is much greater than
the intellect, for it is the integration of reason and love. There can be intelligence only when there is self knowledge,
the deep understanding of the total process of oneself.
***
Awareness May Burn Away the Problems.
All thinking obviously is conditioned; there is no such thing as free thinking.
Thinking can never be free, but it is the outcome of our conditioning, of our background, of our culture, of our social, economic,
and political background, etc. The very books we read and the very practices we do are all established in the background,
and any thinking must be a result of that background. So if we can be aware and we can go presently into what it signifies,
what it means, to be aware perhaps we will be able to un condition the mind without the process of will, without the determination
to un condition the mind. Because the moment you determine, there is an entity who wishes, and an entity who says, "I need
to un condition my mind." That entity itself is the outcome of our desire to achieve a certain result, so a conflict is already
there. So, is it possible to be aware of our conditioning, just to be aware? In which there is no conflict at all. That very
awareness, if allowed, may perhaps burn away the problems.
***
Intellect corrupts feeling.
You know, there is the intellect, and there is pure feeling - the pure feeling
of loving something, of having great generous emotions. The intellect reasons, calculates, weigh, and balance. It asks, "Is
it important? Will it give me benefit?" On the other hand there is pure feeling - the extraordinary feeling for the sky, for
your neighbor, for your wife or husband, for your child, for the world, for the beauty of a tree, flower, and so on. When
pure feeling is corrupted by the intellect, there is mediocrity. That is what most of us are doing. Our lives are mediocre
because we are always calculating, asking ourselves whether it is worthwhile, what profit we will get, not only in the world
of money, but also in the so-called spiritual world - "If I do this, will I get that."
***
The many interpretations of Religion:
Religion has many interpreters, interpretations, and sacred canopies indoctrinated
by religious authority. One must be outside the sacred canopy for "Truth" because "Truth" is free from dogma, rituals, organized
thought, and Time. A religious mind is contrary to what we have been taught to believe in and one must have passion and energy
to study the sacred canopies of religion. Our mind must be freer in order to be an outsider and see the nature of religion
in action. Insight is essential for "Truth" to approach because insight does not have a cause; insight does not demand,
want, or expect anything. Insight is a " flash" of illumination which shed light to be freer from our psychological condition.
in this case, under the sacred canopy of religion. If one is indoctrinated, it is impossible for "Insight" to occur because
the mind is conditioned. Only when we step outside the sacred canopy we can capture a moment of "Insight" to illuminate as
"Truth" finds a chance to pierce the thickness of the "Self."
***
A distorted view of Intimacy.
Our culture abuses the nature of Sex that all too often Sex is used
as an escape to resolve the "Self" for a brief time. Therefore, I noted Sex as an escape from the "Self"; however, the
expression of Sex is meaningful when the couple has the Emotion of true intimacy and awareness of the "Self" harmonized with
Reason.
Sex as an expression or the abnegation of the Self?
Sex is a problem because it would seem in that act there is complete
absence of the Self. In that moment you are happy, because there is the cessation of Self-consciousness, of "me." Desiring
more of it -- more of the abnegation of the Self in which there is complete happiness, without the past or the future --demanding
complete happiness through full fusion, integration, naturally it becomes all important. Sex is something which gives
you unadulterated joy, complete Self-forgetfulness, I want more and more of it. Now, why do I want more of it? Because, everywhere
else I am in conflict, everywhere else, at all the different levels of existence, there is the strengthening of the Self.
Economically, politically, socially, and religiously, there is this constant thickening of the Self -Conscious which is conflict.
After all, you are Self consciously only where there is conflict. Self consciousness is in it’s very nature is the result
of conflict. So, the problem is not Sex, surely, but how to be free from the Self. You have tasted that state of Being in
which the Self is not, If only for a few seconds. So, there is the constant longing for more of that "Self Free State."
***
Insight is causeless and is not bound to Time.
Love and Insight has no cause; however, hate and the material process has
a cause. As insight is causeless, it has a definite effect which has a cause. Love is without cause and hate has a cause;
therefore, the two cannot coexist. Love and insight are not identical because insight occurs in a flash. The mind
is conditioned to form a particular pattern. Insight alters the pattern, in the sense, I argue, reason, use logic. etc. Insight
operates as a flash and breaks the pattern or lessen the thickness of the "Self." It would be more rational and make logic
more possible, because you have been confused before the flash. So, what than is the nature of insight since insight has no
cause and is without Time because cause implies Time. The material process is set in the pattern and insight operates to break
the pattern. The pattern is the content of our self imposed, religious, political, social, cultural, and personal boundaries.
The pattern is the content of our consciousness which is the material process of thought. This flash of insight enlightens
the whole field of a pattern in order for the mind to be freer. Now, we know darkness and light cannot coexist for obvious
reasons, but the very existence of light is to change the process of darkness. Than what contributes this light and flash
that shed ignorance in the material process which has brought about confusion, and all the mess in the world? Insight,
a pure energy, (light) independent from the material process can act on the material process because the material
process is the content of thought, the very nature of the pattern. This flash is the light and pure energy which is without
cause, without time, and operates as long as the"Self" is not present. This pure energy dispels the very center of ignorance
or darkness. Since this pure energy (light) dispels the very center of ignorance (darkness)(freer from the pattern) there
is a mutation in the brain. By dispelling darkness (ignorance) in the brain, insight allows the brain to function in a new
way.
***
The author's interpretation pertaining to "Thought" is the acquisition of
psychological knowledge acquired and inherited. Knowledge is essential to acquire skills such as language, reading, and thinking;
however, knowledge in reference to "Thought" used is "psychological," a defense mechanism in order to avoid or distant Reality.
If you observe, you will see how we use people, or groups, or religion to
escape, We seek comfort in that relationship. Such a search for comfort in relationship brings certain experiences and to
those experiences we cling. To escape from ourselves, psychological knowledge becomes extraordinarily important, but psychological
knowledge is obviously not the way to Reality. The Mind must be completely empty and still for Reality to come into being;
therefore, it is essential, for reality to come into being, to set aside the innumerable escapes one has established, in which
one is caught up. A mind rattling around with knowledge, addicted to ideas and beliefs, is incapable of receiving that which
is.
Pure Energy
Pure Energy
has no cause; therefore, insight is independent of the material process known as thought, the pattern, our psychological condition
imposed and inherited. Thought (psychologically) has been operating in ignorance, creating its own ignorance. Insight is like
a flash and has the ability to break down the darkness of ignorance. When insight clears the darkness does the mind
function, differently? Yes, man and woman will function rationally, and with perception rather than by rules and reason.
Reason is identified with certain rules of logic which would be mechanical. But there can be Reason as a form of Perception
of Order. It is the flash of light which makes perception possible. So Insight is Pure Perception, and from
that Perception there is Action, which then sustained by Rationality and the Rationality is Perception
of Order. The author notes, there is Insight, Perception, and Order; however, Order is not mechanical because
it is not based on Logic. This order is not based on rules. Insight is the pure energy which has an extraordinary effect
on the material process because the material process is dependent on that process but Insight is not dependent on that process
but independent because of it's origin.
The Clarification of Thought.
Thought is essential, for example, in the field of knowledge as learning a
new language or read a book. In this field of knowledge "thought" has a proper place. The problem of "thought" is in
the psychological field of "Self" and the formation of boundaries which inhibits the movement of a freer "Self." Psychological
knowledge becomes a hindrance for freeing the pattern. Insight; however, has the ability to lessen the pattern of our condition
as human beings. Surely, to be freer of social, political, religious, and personal boundaries is a life of intelligence and
order.
The clarification of "Original
Thought. Challenging the goal of Psychology.
"Original Thought is "Intelligence" viewed by the author. In our lives we
are bombarded by activities which nullify "Original Thought." (Intelligence) Only, when we have a few moments to spare, we
glance and "Original Thought" may approach. In Society "Thought" is considered the rule opposed to "Original Thought"; however,
I find Society's interpretation partially correct because "Thought" is derived from "Original Thought." If this is true than
"Original Thought" is pure energy and "Thought" is a source from pure energy. Because of psychological conditioning "Thought"
has become estranged from "Original Thought." The need for false security created a "Self" packed with layers of boundaries.
The goal of psychology is to work with "Thought" and rarely question the impact
of false security which disharmonies "Thought" and "Original Thought." The tool in psychology
is not to free the movements of false security but to
shift one movement of false security for another. In essence, the function
of psychology in general is to shift the pattern in the content of consciousness opposed to dissolving the pattern and be
free from conflict harmonizing "Thought" and "Original Thought." Thought is essential for practical purposes; however, psychologically
"Thought" is a hindrance because of conflict of interest with "Original Thought."
Psychologically we have created boundaries, that is, social, religious, political,
cultural, personal, and inherited which cause conflict. We live in a world dominated by "Thought"; therefore, "Original
Thought" in society is considered reserved for a few bright minds. The author find that untrue because the human mind, unless
diseased, is inherently awakened with "Original Thought" if "Thought" is understood and harmonized with "Original Thought."
Surely, to be freer from your psychological condition is a source of
peace and joy.
****
Thought, and Intelligence have a common source of one energy; why did it divide?What
is the relation of thought and intelligence?
The origin of the word "intelligence" means "to read between." So, it seems
to me that "thought" is like the information in a book and that "intelligence" has to read it, the meaning of it.
Intelligence is very different from what people have in mind when they measure
intelligence. The author view intelligence independent from thought but have a common source, that is from one energy.
Thought is the physical and chemical process which is mechanical, repetitive, measurable, comparative, and dependent.
The brain is the content of consciousness, patterns, and conditioning which is inherited, self imposed, or indoctrinated
by culture and society. The author clarifies the distinction between brain and mind to point out the nature of "thought" and
"intelligence." The author point out that matter, thought, and intelligence have a common source, derived from
one energy; why did it divide? This division is "thought" as our"brain and "intelligence" as the "mind."
The author uses the word brain and mind to distinguish the negative and positive
from one instrument. For example, you can measure an electric current by the swing of the needle in the instrument, or you
can use the same instrument in what is called the Wheatstone bridge, where the reading you look for is null reading; a null
reading indicates harmony, balances of the two sides of the whole system as is being. So, if you are using the instrument
negatively, then the non movement of the instrument is the sign it is working right. This example is to point out the
brain may have use "thought" positively to make an image of the world. This image is the content of your consciousness, patterns,
and boundaries. Since the image is from "thought" and derived from the division of Intelligence or "pure energy" than Intelligence
Existed before Thought and is without Time, Condition, and Free from Security. The
idea of security does not exist in Intelligence because Intelligence itself is Secure.The general view is that time is
the essence of existence. It is very hard to give up such view because it is intense conditioning. It is stronger even than
the conditioning of the observer and the observed. Intelligence is out of time and therefore not related to thought, which
is the movement of time. Intelligence; however, operates on the quietness of the brain and change the pattern of unintelligent
thought. Thought is necessary and this thought point obviously toward Matter. Thought is essential; however, thought must
have security and seek security in all its movement. Though, matter, and intelligence have a common source otherwise there
could be no harmony. Thought and the intellect dominate the world; therefore, intelligence has very little place here. When
one thing dominates, the other must be subservient. Thought must have security and it is seeking security in all its movement.
But intelligence is not seeking security. It has no security. The idea of security does not exist in intelligence. Intelligence
itself is secure, not, "it seeks security."
Thought began and moved on its own accord; got out of hand and
ceased to allow itself to be orderly, ordered in general by intelligence or at least to stay in harmony with intelligence.
Thought’s main interest is seeking false security of pleasure, comfort, and isolating the "Self" forming cultural, social,
religious, political, and personal boundaries. Thought got out of hand and moved on its own accord separately from Intelligence.
Now security, physical security is necessary and therefore physical existence; however, pleasure and division became tremendously
important.
If you go back to the animal, then there is instinctive response toward pleasure
and toward security; that would be right. But now thought comes in, it can dazzle the instinct and produce all sorts of glamour,
more pleasure, more security. And instincts are not intelligent enough to deal with the complexity of thought. Therefore,
thought went wrong, because it excited the instincts. So, thought really created a world of illusion, confusion, and put away
intelligence. Surely, that has made the brain very chaotic and noisy. Intelligence is the silence of the brain; therefore,
the noisy brain is not intelligent. Hopefully, the author explained the origin of how thought moved on its own accord seeking
more illusion of security. Intelligence obviously understands the activity of thought and operates on thought when the brain
is quiet. For example, thought creates an insolation of a certain condition and the pattern of that condition is nationalism
as a means of security. The inquiry of nationalism is division, war, conflict, and all the rest of it. The inquirer sees the
falseness of what is going on. When thought is free from all, this falseness, it is different. Then it begins to be a parallel
to intelligence. What is interesting is thought is never actually controlled or dominated by Intelligence, thought always
moves on its own will. But in the light of intelligence, when the falseness is seen, then thought moves parallel or in harmony
with intelligence.
But there is never anything that forces thought to do anything. That would
suggest intelligence and thought has this common origin or substance, and they are two ways of calling attention to a greater
whole.
One can see how political, religiously, psychologically, thought has created
a world of tremendous contradiction, and fragmentation. Intelligence tries to bring order in this confusion. It is not
the intellect, which sees the falseness of all this. You see, one can be terribly intelligent although one is chaotic and
the self is cloaked and insulated. The falseness is seen through "insight" who sees the tremendous contradiction operating
in the brain which is psychologically conditioned in Time.
Surely, Thought and Intelligence are like two streams moving in different
directions. Thought, Matter, the Mechanical, is Energy. Thought is conditioned, confused, polluted, dividing itself, fragmenting
itself. Thought is multiple and intelligence is not. It is not polluted. It cannot divide itself as "my intelligence" and
"your intelligence." It is intelligence, and it is not divisible. Now it has sprung from a source of energy which has divided
itself. Now, why has it divided itself? The author find physical reasons and to maintain physical existence.
So, a part of intelligence has been changed in such way as to help to
maintain physical existence. Thought was born and was necessary for survival. That is all. In survival this in its totality,
in its wholeness has been denied, or put aside. The author find it essential to touch that source in which division
does not exist and because it has touched this source, which has no divisions it can operate without the sense of division
to live freer in the brain and awaken the intelligence of the Mind.

Death: "The House of Death is for the Living."
Is it possible for the mind to cease to think in terms of its own continuity
that the unknowable come into being?
We all know that death does exist, especially the older people, and also the
young who observe it. The young say, "Wait till it comes and I deal with it." And the old, who are nearer death, have recourse
to various forms of consolation.
Consciously or unconsciously death is in our mind because we know that we
are going to die. We have theories about death. Some of us believe in God. Some believe in resurrection, rebirth, or in karma
and reincarnation. Some say that there is a heaven, or will be reborn on earth, or in another world or worlds. Some will rationalize
death, saying death is inevitable, it happens to everybody. Others are too occupied with daily worries, anxieties, jealousies,
envy, with competition and wealth, to think about death at all. The fact remains, death is in our mind, consciously or unconsciously.
It is there!
Is it possible to be free of our beliefs, the rationalities or the indifference
we have cultivated toward Death? Can we be free from our conditioning which has been cultivated toward Death? Can we
be free of all that now? Because what is important is to enter the House of Death while Living, while fully conscious, active,
in health, and not wait for the coming of death, which may carry you off instantaneously through an accident, or through a
disease that slowly makes you unconscious. When Death comes it must be an extraordinary moment that is as vital as Living.
Is it possible to enter the House of Death while Living? That is important
opposed to whether there is a heaven, reincarnation, rebirth, or perhaps another world where you will be reborn, which is
all so immature, infantile, and primitive. A man or woman who lives never asks what is living and has no theories about living.
It is only the half alive who talk about the purpose of life.
Is it possible while living, conscious, active, with all our capacities whatever
they are, know what death is? And is Death then different from Living? To most of us, living is a continuation of that which
we think is permanent. All the things in which we have a vested interest economically and spiritually, the virtues we have
cultivated, the things that we have acquired emotionally; all of that we want to continue. And the moment we call death
is a moment of the unknown. Therefore, we are frightened, so we try to find a consolation, some kind of comfort; we want to
know if there is life after death, and a dozen other things. Those are all irrelevant problems, they are problems for the
lazy, for those who do not want to find out what Death is while Living.
What is Death? Surely, it is the complete cessation of everything we have
known. If it is not the cessation of everything we have known, it is not death. If we know death already then we have nothing
to be frightened of. But do we know Death? That is, can we while living put an end to this everlasting struggle to find in
the impermanent something which will continue? Can we know the unknowable, that state we call Death, while Living?
Can we put aside all the descriptions of what happens after Death we
have read in books, or our unconscious desire for comfort dictates, and taste a state which must be extraordinary -
now? If one experience that state now, then Living and Dying are the same.
Is it possible for those who have a vast education, knowledge, who have innumerable
experiences, struggles, loves, hates, can that "I" come to an end? "I" am the recorded memory of all that, and can that "I"
come to an end? Without being brought to an end by an accident, by a disease, can that End? Only than you will find
you will no longer ask foolish questions about death, rebirth, reincarnation, heaven, or other interpretation offered by religion.
The beauty of death is we will know the answer for ourselves because
which is unknowable will have come into being. Then we will put asides the whole rigmarole of death interpreted by religion
- and the many fears - the fear of living and fear of dying, the fear of growing old, the fear of loneliness and dependency
- will all have come to an end. It is only when the mind ceases to think in terms of its own continuity the unknowable are
known.
"Only when we enter Daily the House of Death while Living we find Reality
as our true source of security and happiness." Deanna

Violence:
"To see violence as it is - as a fundamental issue in human relationship
is contrary to explaining the causes of violence." Deanna
In every part of the world there are revolts and revolutions in order to change
the social structure. Obviously, the structure has to be changed; is it possible to change it without violence? Violence begets
violence. Through revolt one part can assume the power of government, and having achieved this, it will maintain itself in
power through violence.
The major cause of violence is each one of us is inwardly, psychologically,
seeking security. In each one of us the urge for psychological security - that inward sense of being safe - projects the demand,
the outward demand, for security. Inwardly, each one of us wants to be secure, sure, certain. That is why we have all these
laws; in order to be secure in our relationship. If the relationship is attacked we become violent, which is the
psychological demand, the inward demand, to be certain of our relationship to everything. But there is no such thing as certainty,
security, in any relationship. Inwardly, psychologically, we should like to be secure, but there is no such thing as permanent
security. Because the mind needs security through attachments and once the attachment is threatened violence set in. To be
freer from violence is to be freer from attachments. After all, the only security that exists is no security. The wisdom of
insecurity is to be freer from violence.
****
"Surely, Tools of the Mind are Worthy and Far more Reaching than Isolation
to Rehabilitate a Prisoner." Deana
The Prison System:
"The prisoner is freer than those holding the violator captive. The violator
is bound to a cell and those who hold him captive is free from the cell, but as the prisoner is equal a slave bound to a failed
system" Deanna
The prison system has failed and unless we find alternatives
in resolving this significant problem the system will fall in despair. How can we resolve such a problem? The warden in charge,
correctional officers, and all others involved attempts to rehabilitate the prisoner, who is violent, is disturbed because
the prisoner rebels and becomes more violent. So, what can we do to change that? One must understand the men who hold the
prisoners’ captive are also captive of a flawed system or a system who find prison profitable. There
is no rehabilitation in a prison. The condition to control, manipulate, and mold the prisoner in an image adds
to the violence. So, the whole movement between the two is like a circus and the warden being the ringmaster securing
a profitable enterprise. Than how can one rehabilitate? The brain after all has accumulated patterns of behavior
that is violent. If this is the case, the mind can negate those patterns which cause violence. The only rehabilitation
is healing the violater's own brain and meditation is the tool which has the ability to approach
the deep recesses of the mind and free the attachment of the need to be angry and violent.
Now, one cannot assume if a prisoner meditates he will be become non
violent. No, the need to remain attached to his anger will consequently be diminished and negate together if his inquiry and
observation are passionate. The brain has been damaged with violence, anger, and unusual stress; however, in meditation
the brain will heal itself and repair the damage as much as possible. Unless the brain is diseased nature will find a way
to heal the part of the brain afflicted.
All other hypotheses are temporary because we failed to use the mind to correct
what has been caused by the brain through patterns of conditioning. That is the disorder! It is that simple because the root
of all disorder is psychological. Meditating and being in touch with that source that caused the violence is the answer.
The author wonders if the prison system is capable to handle such psychological
transformation of simplicity as Meditation. Unless such psychological revolution as mindful meditation takes place in and
outside the cell the prison system will not be able to resolve or significantly reduce this problem. The answer to mitigate
significant problems is to mitigate the layers of conditioning in the mind by observing the "what is" in the content consciousness.
To conclude, Meditation is independent of culture, gender, religion, social, and political beliefs.
The author recommends for each inmate to meditate two hours per
day sitting quietly observing his or her thoughts understanding the observer is the observed. Have the meditator progress
to four hours per day until the meditator can sit quietly for six hours. The investment is simple: a sitting mat for
each inmate and install meditative music.
The author recommends education: GED, High School, and Advanced College Degrees. The
advanced degrees, however, must be earned through an accredited university. Investing in education is
prudent and offers a possibility for real change. Television of educational material must be encouraged and have each
inmate learn chess. Chess and cross word puzzles are good for the brain plus a good library and music of interest.
The prison system have perfected skill of isolation to the best. Off
course, isolation is the worst form of rehabilitation. Isolation equals violence. Unless the prison system change
the tax payers shall have no other alternative but to built more prisons. The motive of the State must not
be in profit but investing in the mind of the inmate to resolve its over populated prisons.
Once the meditator achieves meditating
for two hours the prison system can add dance. Dancing to music is good because dancing is free from interpretation,
conflict, racial, and social boundaries. Dancing is neutral and excellent for the organism.
************************
The Brain and Mind
The Brain and Mind are from one source of energy; however, the Brain is the source that lives within the boundaries of the psychological
conditioned state. The Mind is the source not bound by the psychological conditioned state of the Brain. Meditation is the
way to awaken the intelligence of the conditioned state and negate the patterns of the condition and heal the damaged brain.
The author is using Brain and Mind as a language to point out the conditioned state in the Organism.

More on the origin of aggression.
Surely, we have inherited our aggression from our animal nature but as social
human animals we are wired to use alternatives to fend off aggression in order to survive as a Group. The author observes
that aggression is programmed at birth and find aggression which plays a role at a very early age. If you watch young
children (up to five yrs) you can observe a display of physical violence. Perhaps, as adults we do not see it as violence
but setting that aside why are children aggressive at a real early age? I believe because we have been programmed to attack;
however, as the child develops, the aggression is minimized and other alternatives to fend off aggression is learned. I believe
that our investment in Society is finding tools when the child is very young and use tools to direct aggression in a positive
manner. In our society we missed the mark. We find the stage of adolescence troublesome; however, if we used tools of directing
aggression at an early age (birth - 5 yrs) we would minimize problems of violence at adolescence and adulthood. Now,
aggression has two possibilities. One, you step on the brakes and Second, you drive full speed. Most of us fall under the
first possibility in order to survive as a group and those who go for full speed will find them isolated and in trouble.
To summarize:
We are wired to fend off aggression when we realize
in order to survive as a group the individual find cooperation a better bet. To lessen violence the aggression
must be recognized at a very young age and finding tools to redirect aggression is a worthy investment for the future of the
individual and the group.
Veneer
Theory or Morality is the Extension of the Social Instinct?
"We have biologically inherited traits of empathy and reciprocity. These traits
are wired in our Brains and are independent of traits passed by genes or learned from the environment. These traits are essential
for the group's survival and since empathy and reciprocity are moral traits the human being is inherently moral. Of course,
biologically we have equally inherited behaviors to fend off those who aggress against us, however, empathy and reciprocity
are behaviors of the Brain. The nurturing of those behaviors is essential to assure the survival of a group, but nevertheless
these traits are biological wired in the Brain. What has this to do with Eminent Domain? The Law of Eminent Domain is a Bad
Law because the taking against the will violates traits of empathy and reciprocity. These traits are innate biological and
therefore the outcome of Eminent Domain cause injury toward the individual and the group. A law that violates empathy and
reciprocity is a Bad Law because the law is contrary to the natural function of the Brain." Deanna

The argument: If the state of nature is only instinctual and
not moral how can we explain the innate traits of empathy, reciprocity, and social negotiation shared by our ancestors?
The human organism has these traits inherited from our ancestors;
therefore, the state of nature must be moral and morality is essential to survive as a group? If traits of empathy, reciprocity,
and social negotiation are innate than we may conclude evolved from our ancestors that Man's state of nature is Instinctual
Moral.

State of Nature with SBMVWD and the City of San Bernardino North Lake Reservoir project?
The State of Nature
Argument: Is the state of nature instinctual, moral, or both?
The psychological of Thomas Hobbes (1588-1679) are very pessimistic. Every living organism obeys laws of individual survival;
therefore, all human acts are motivated by self interest and the quest for power. According to Hobbes, altruism not just a
bad idea, it is impossible. Far from being immoral and egoism is the only show in town.
Hobbes is best known for his political philosophy, which
is influence by his egoistic theory of motivation. He recognized the state as an artificial monster (the Leviathan) which
restricts what little freedom there is in nature and flaunts its power over the individual, but Hobbes justified the existence
of the political state by contrasting it with the notorious state of nature dominated by scarcity and fear, where every man
is the enemy to every man, and life is solitary, poor, nasty, brutish, and short. In the state of nature there are no law,
no morality, no property, and only one natural right - the right to protect oneself using any means disposal, including violence
and slaughter. Hobbes famous social contract is a third party is needed to protect each other from harm. The solution
is the two parties agreed to give a third party all their rights. In exchange, the third party promises to use his or her
absolute power to guarantee that the first two parties honor their agreement with each other. The irony of a Hobbes social
contract is there is nothing to prevent the third party from abusing his or her power because his or her innate egoistic
nature and innate lust for power, and it are almost inevitable that he or she would do so. According to Hobbes the State,
even with its necessity abuse of power, was better than the alterative the anarchy in the state of nature.
The state
of nature according to John Locke (1634-1704) was very different indeed from what Hobbes meant by it. Far from being in which
there is no justice nor injustice, no right, nor wrong, nor mine or yours. Locke's state of nature is a moral state - the
state into which we are all born as humans, where we are all bestowed with certain God given, natural rights, the right to
life, health, liberty, and possessions. Recall that for Hobbes, there was only one natural right, the right to try to preserve
one's life. Hobbes seems to have believed a kind of instinct for survival authorized that right. Locke's theory contains
several natural rights, all of which are moral rather than instinctual, and they derive their authority from God. Hobbes was
particularly insistent there was no such as a natural right to property since in nature there is no property, only possession.
Locke, to the contrary, claimed we have a natural right to whatever part of nature we have mixed our labor with. So, if you
till the soil, or cut down a tree and make a house from it, then this garden and that house are mine and will be my childrens
when they inherit them from me. Locke, did put qualifications on this natural right to property opposed to Thomas Hobbes who
insist there was no such thing as a natural right to property, since in nature there is no property, only possession. It is
noteworthy that Locke's theory pre supposes a state of abundance in nature, while Hobbes presupposes a state of scarcity.
According to Locke, individual political states are to be evaluated in terms of how well they protect the natural rights of
the individuals living in those states.A good state is one which guarantees and maximizes those rights; a bad state is one
which does not guarantee them; an EVIL state is one which it assaults the natural rights,
Locke's version of the social
contract is all citizens consent to be ruled by a government elected by a majority for just as long as government
protects the natural rights. But a TYRANNICAL government is illegitimate and ought to be revolted against.
Note that,
unlike Hobbes, Locke is able to distinguish between legitimate and an illegitimate government, and provides a theory of justifiable
revolution. It is clear the Founding Fathers used Locke's theory to Justify the American revolution, and they incorporated
his ideas into our Declaration of Independence and Constitution.
Meditations by Deanna.
Celebration with the Cosmos.
Today, my soul and I danced on the mountain to disperse the dust and
dirt of the earth. Arriving on the mountain, the rising Sun fitful in splendor in Burnt Orange array stood above me. A small reddish
breasted Robin on its course, was singing, calling and saying:
"I have news for you from the Cosmos, the lovely Cosmos who created you and
I."
I said: "What news do you have for me today from the Cosmos?"
Singing, dancing, and joyfully flirting with the winds the Robin said:"Wisdom
is not in words but in the meaning within words.
Wisdom is not in the acquisition of psychological knowledge but he who diligently
negate the patterns of such knowledge is knowledge.
Greatness is not in exalted position but he who refuses exaltation is Great
and his Gifts bestowed from the Cosmos shall be exalted.
Greatness is experiencing the present, ignoring the future, and forgetting
the past.
A soul Freer from prisons and chains is innocent, contented, and happy.
Truth is in the heart and beauty is a light in the heart
O Truth, O Beauty, you and I are created from the Cosmos. Once you realize
this Truth than no longer are you a Self,
The walls have fallen,
And the Chains have broken,
Your Soul is Freer".
The Robin left and my heart
Poured out my song on the mountain,
I open my bosom in this open space,
With the wind spreading my arms for adornment,
Dancing, I found my bliss on the mountain celebrating with the Cosmos
who created me. From a simple Star I was evolved and here I am celebrating my birth, my origin on the Mountain. How perfect
you are Mountain, and how majestic. You are the lost consort of my soul, and the other better half, O Mountain, glory of beauty,
grace, and elegance. There is no other desire but to return as freer Energy purged from the vanities under the Sun.
That is what the Robin whispered to me upon the mountain and being thankful
I said: "O' Robin sing, for the secret of eternity is in song and dance, imagine created from a Simple Star, how lovely the
Cosmos is".

Meditation pertaining to Love for couples in Love
Wisdom of Kama Sutra
In the still of the night, my love and I walked to the Sea to wash our bodies
in its water. After cleansing each other’s bodies we arrived at the Sea Shore preparing for Love.
We search for a private place and meditated under a cool moon sky lit with stars. As our bodies touch the desert sand
for Love, we saw a brilliant Star and heard a voice from the Sea calling: "I am the Spirit of Kama Sutra and I am the Wise
Sage that offers wisdom in the art of making Love. We look in silence and said: "Wise Sage, teach us the wisdom of making
Love because we only know Love what the World has taught us."
We longed for such Wisdom and in Silence we wait in humility until the Great
Sage spoke:"Kama Sutra is an ancient art of making love. The art of Love is like a mystical dance, a continuous flow of a
beautiful embrace. The mind is the most powerful sexual organ. As an artist, should always be patient and creative in its
play. The wise know that physical pleasure is not the sole end of love making. It is like music, stirring the emotions, quickening
the senses, dissolving thought into rhythm, until only rhythm exists. Kama Sutra is all energies in harmony
and mutual recognition of two liberties – giving and receiving pleasure and respect. Kama Sutra is
beyond the Ego, where Love is not an object but love as a revelation of the Self by the gift of Self."
Guided by the brilliant star the Wise Sage returned to the Sea. In that moment
our Love became a source of Life as sacred and lovely. Thus, spoke Kama Sutra embracing infinity in the Art of Making Love.

A philosophical note:
Distorted Perception of
Reason
In Thomas Hobbes system reason delivers man and woman out of nature, and guides
him and her toward a life of peace and security. Hobbes tells us that man has three "principal causes of a quarrel" in the
state of nature. These are competition (for gain), diffidence (for safety) and glory (reputation). These laws of nature competition,
diffidence, and glory provide the basis for a social contract and thus open the way for civil society.Society and society’s
social contract is arranged on a Hobbes deterministic point of view. A Society where people are enemies and others are our
competition; therefore, we must protect ourselves from them. Thus, people are basically "bad" and civilization attempts to
domesticate them for which they pay a heavy price. Because of this reductionist conclusion, the individual is divided into
"parts" opposed to an individual indivisible.Another point of view is holistic and that is the organicism is a unity and all
"parts" (memory, emotions, and behavior) are in the service of the whole individual. The main mistake in Hobbes’s philosophy
is the concept that two human beings can never meet in the forest because on must think; the other person is the enemy. Could
it be these attitudes are based on reductionistic thinking and partially correct? Correct because that person could be
an enemy, a fellow human being, collaborator, and cooperator in life. To point out, the reductionist view is fragmented; therefore,
partially correct. The holistic point of view is correct because the organism instinctively perceives whole patterns and not
bits and pieces. Because in perception, the "other person" is seen as an enemy, fellow human being, collaborator, and cooperator
in life. Whole patterns have characteristics which cannot be gleaned by analyzing parts.Since the organism instinctively
perceives whole patterns, the organism has the characteristics to perceive the enemy, fellow’s human being, collaborator,
and cooperator simultaneously. Because an organism has the capacity for accurate perception when its use is a native
ability of immediate experience, the concept of reductionistic thinking is then questionable. Western thinking is reductionistic
and fundamentally "incorrect" opposed too holistically. We must redefine Hobbes’s philosophy of Reason and reexamine
society and society’s social contract. From the evidence above reductionistic is "incorrect," and therefore, hopes or
positive changes remain fruitless. The error of society and society’s social contract is a distorted perception of Reason,
a product of reductionist thinking. The way for society to grow is to study the nature of reductionistic thinking, society
and society institutions of education, politics, and religion remains unchanged, fruitless, and psychologically primitive.

Meditations
The Wisdom of Life and Death.
All religions offer us some promise of reward or punishment. The Asiatic outlook
for rebirth and the Western idea of resurrection and rebirth in heaven offers both. The ancient Egyptians also prepared for
death and filled their tombs with material riches. These theories, suppositions, and non fact is what religions offer reinforced
by religious authorities. More of the importance is the fact that we are finite and have some limited amounts of time. Thus,
the complete acceptance of death without fear, denial, or morbidity is the gateway to a richer life. Death and Life interact
dynamically and meditation on death will serve to encourage us to redouble our efforts to a meaning life. A mind that is discontent
can jump into reality; not a mind that is content; not a mind that is respectable, hedged about by belief. The greater purpose
we find in our lives, the less we fear death. Then we do not need theories, supposition, and non facts. All these are escapes
of responsibilities finding a purpose in life and death. What is true is revealed only through doubts, through questioning
the many illusions, traditional values and ideals. Thus death is to live completely and there must be a dying to everything
of yesterday; otherwise you live mechanically, and a mechanical mind can be never known what life and death is.

The Eye of an Eagle.
The question. What is Sacred? What is sacred, is a question answered by theology,
philosophy, and psychology? All require a focus on something that is outside the one who is doing the study. Theology begin
with the notion that it knows; philosophy has systems of thought; and psychology concerns are among the eruptions from the
unconscious.
Our question, "What is Sacred?" Sacredness cannot realize an answer outside
of its sphere, which is self inquiry. Perhaps, it’s, homes, and ground rests in a certain permanent feature of our nature.
Our capacity for violating our own nature is human. We can betray not only someone else but also our own selves.
If wild creatures in the forest lived that way they would make too many mistakes
and not survive. They usually don’t get away with more than one or two, perhaps three mistakes and lived. We have buffered
ourselves through technology against that raw relation to nature, but it has not in any way improved our relations to ourselves.
Unlike the wild creature ,the Eagle, whose eye is clear, our species
has a confused eye. Our minds are dull from the illusion that we somehow are privileged to have free will. We are free for
attitude, but given our attitudes, freedom stops there.Our preferences,our choices, our decisions follow upon attitude.
That has the most far reaching meaning of our understanding of ourselves, and we face that upon every instant .Upon this instant
our attitude will determine everything else that follow from our will, intellect, and feeling. Unfortunately, most of us live
in quiet desperation denying access to the primal root of perceptional reasoning, reasoning, observation,and intuition.
Have you ever wondered when you observe the Eye of an Eagle, how you were going to look at yourself
in the mirror the next time? I have many times. Thus, when we possess the Eye of an Eagle, our lives are
lived between the timeless and time;on that account what it is that is Sacred.

Judge John Wade decision: People out and Profit in.
WILL LEVIATHAN PREVAIL?
Philosopher Thomas Hobbes’ point of view regarding human
nature
Philosopher Thomas Hobbes’ point of view regarding human
nature is is dim. Hobbes believed that existence of the human being is short lived, nasty, and brutish. The only solution
is a powerful government to reign with absolute power and society must be controlled with a firm grip. The view of Thomas
Hobbes is contrary to the author because Government control is Corporate Welfare and the Good in human consciousness is set
aside. We have been educated to be violent. If we are born to be violent than why is there a part
of one self which resist violence and, is appalled by violence? Surely, our condition to hold the animal nature captive makes
for violence and Government maintain it in power through violence. Controlling Government considers Man incapable of Goodness
and the author's view is that people inherently are Good and are capable of Goodness. Because the human being has the
capability of "Goodness" he or she can do well with a small Government. A Government least controlling is least interested
in Corporate Welfare and is interested in protecting Liberty and Property. The Political Philosophy
interpreted by John Locke is a view that human beings are rational and have the ability to reason and find alternatives
from violence in order to protect their Liberty and ownership of Property. I believe Locke's interpretation
is morally correct in our society protecting our Constitutional rights.
Contrary to Hobbes, the major cause of violence, I think, is
that each one of us is inwardly, psychologically, seeking security. The human being has an urge for psychological security
- that inward senses of being safe - projects the demand, the outward demand, for security. Inwardly each one of us wants
to be secure, sure, certain. That is why we have all these laws, in order that we maybe secure in our relationship. If that
relationship is attacked we become violent, which is the psychological demand, the inward demand, to be certain of our relationship
to everything. But there is no such thing as certainty, security, in any relationship. Inwardly, psychologically we should
like to be secure, but there is no such thing as permanent security.
Good is the natural moral social contract
between human beings. Human beings are inherently curious, self-sufficient, and social. The interpretation of short
lived and nasty is considered the "violent" nature of the human being. Each one will have a different opinion and volumes
have been written about it! What is essential is not to explain the causes but to see violence as it is - as a fundamental
issue in human relationship. And to find out whether it should perpetuate itself, or be changed, or modified. Hobbes did not
discuss the fundamental issue involved in violence. Because Hobbes failed to inquire whether it is possible to live without
violence the theory of Hobbes is flawed. One must be capable of looking at violence and understanding it, then perhaps there
is a possibility of resolving it totally and discern a point of view contrary to Hobbism.
The North Lake Project is a classic example of Thomas Hobbes theory. The Government
is omnipresent, omniscient, and omnipotent. Acting as a Real Estate Broker, Developer, and Taking property by Eminent Domain
the Government demonstrates that the homeowner, business owner, and church are leasing the Land until the City, or in this
case the Municipal Valley water district decides to seize it. The value of our home ownership, family business, and Church
is dismissed. The following tale is the Government's power in Hobbes "Leviathan" demonstrated, fully in the North
Lake Project. The characters in the tale are the City of San Bernardino, Municipal Valley Water District, Regional
Water Resources, Mayor of San Bernardino, council members, attorneys for the respondents, and I.
On 01/11/2006 , Judge Wade, will hear the cases and determine THE LIFE
OF LEVIATHAN in the Superior Court of California, SanBernardino.
Will Leviathan Prevail?
Leviathan is Thomas Hobbes political view advocating powerful Government.
The name "Leviathan"or "Great Sea Monster" is derived from the Hebrew Bible or the Christian Old Testament. Since "Leviathan"
is drawn from religious literature, I decided to write the meditation below in philosophical - religious theatrical form.
The following is a meditation tale commenting the theory promulgated by Thomas Hobbes.
WILL LEVIATHAN PREVAIL?
In solitude, I sit and wait until Truth unveils herself and after
much communing Truth appeared rising out of the Sea disguised as a Great Water Creature. Full of pride, aggrandizing, selfish,
brutish and bestial the Monster possessed one large horn, and on its sides there were two smaller horns protruding, and the
larger of the two having seven heads.
Surely, I was in the Spirit and as I looked up I saw a woman triumphant
sitting upright galloping a Trojan Horse. The woman arrayed in purple and scarlet, and adorned with precious stones, having
in her hand a scroll and on the scroll names were engraved from souls she devoured in her war with the Saints of the North
Lake. When I saw her, I marveled with great amazement as she gallop her Trojan Horse to the Great Water Creature celebrating
a political feast of her victory. When she arrived, she hand the scroll to the Great Water Creature and point her finger at
a white handkerchief blotted in blood. Suddenly, she looked at me as she pierced her golden spear in the creature and
boastfully she said: "It's done." The Great Water Predator gloated and said: "for by your sorcery all the people were deceived."
Now, I saw more horses in the vision, and nine horsemen armored with breastplates
of steel, and the head of the horses were like the heads of lions roaring having in their hands’ scales of blaspheming.
Than, I saw a body of half a woman and half a serpent, who sat on a Stallion pointing a dagger at my ribs. The woman - serpent
sat on her Stallion and out of her mouth leaped flames of fire and in her political power she ordered the people and I out
of the village.
After many seasons, the serpent woman and all those who succeeded her Rest
with the Great Sea Creature for no one in power were able to Free themselves from the power of Leviathan and those
in power gave Leviathan Praise, Glory, and Honor. Consequently, all those in power sold their Glory for false psychological
security and demand of an Iron Grip Society who hypnotized the Mind to remain primitive, captive, and estranged from Reality.
The people of the nearby villages, however, observed the depth of Leviathan
and the reflection of the Great Sea Creature with a large horn and two small horns protruding having seven heads as a reminder
how Government rules as the Great Sea Monster. Surely, the Spirit of Leviathan is the destiny of San Bernardino, a reminder
for the North Lake knowing that the seven heads in power failed their Duty serving the public and violated the integrity
of their office. The fruit of the North Lake longed for has gone and all who gave praise have gone, only the spirits of the
Saints remain.
************************************
The Ultimate Imitator
Part one of three
Inherited Memories
For Thomas Hobbes the common peoples’ minds are like clean paper; fit
to receive whatsoever by authority will be imprinted upon them. What would happen to Hobbism if the common people are educated
to question and assume responsibility? Because we all have a common evolutionary history, we all share the same collectiveness,
however, only a few people question the shared tendencies inherited from our ancestors. Most of us accept opposed to question
repeat experiences from our ancestors. The nature of the mind, psychologically, is the existence of these historical layers
of inherited memories from our ancestors, the way in which they thought and felt, and the way in which they conceived life
and the world, of God(s) and human beings. Even though, the mind psychologically at birth is a tabula rasa, a blank slate,
and is informed only be experience that is by sense innate ideas. These sense innate ideas are the sum of inherited memories
from socialization, not retained as an unconscious memory in the collective unconscious according to Carl Jung. Thus, it cannot
be denied there is a history beyond the individual manifestation, a blank slate, the inevitable inherited memories.
The problem is not the inherited characteristic but accepting opposed to question these shared tendencies. A mind which
merely repeats is mechanical and dependent; can never regenerate and be creative in its natural state. The Ultimate imitator
is a three-part article which describes the number of characteristics which are inherited from religious socialization.
Part one and two is the explanation of what humans’ use to solve problems,
symbols of saviors, death, rebirth, reincarnating, or resurrection. Part three concludes teaching of myths (religion) and
cultures. The primary characteristic equally shared; however, is psychological, as evidence that they evoke inherited memories.
First, there is a need for psychological security. Second, there is a need for the psyche’s interest in security instead
finding out what is true.
In every religion we find story after story of a divine being who comes to
each and mingles with its citizens? In the Buddhist tradition the development of Buddhism was connected with Gautama’s
Bodhi-satva state. Before he was born on earth, he was believed to have last existed in a state of self enlightened knowledge
as a Bodhi-satva, and to have voluntarily chosen to become a savior of the world before attaining the Nirvana to which he
was entitle. Is it possible to trace Gods adored by human beings to the exaggeration a deification of heroic men?
Part two of three Hero's, Women, and Sex in
Religion.
So, is it possible to grace God(s) adored by multitudes of human beings to
the exaggeration and deification of heroic men. Krishna is the most popular of all the incarnations of Hinduism. A multitude
of marvelous stories are told about him and it is evident from the history of Krishna literature and practices, like Rama,
is a deified hero. For all men up to his time Moses, the hero of Judaism, may be regarded as the man who came into closets
relation with the divine. In Islam the dawn of Mohammed’s prophetic mission led him more and more to the belief that
a prophet was needed by his people, and that he might be the desired prophet. The Savior and God of Christianity, Jesus Christ,
secured salvation as a condition of freedom from sin. The evidence is clear that each culture has universal symbols of Heroism.
Undoubtedly, these heros are defied. Unfortunately, my imitating the hero the belief is to remain in the realm of myth, hence
in reality. The image of sexual behavior is also shared by religions. Why do we find images of the ideal woman’s ever
man’s sexual fantasy, beautiful, sensual, and infinitely available? This kind of image as part of man can be found in
every religion.* In the Jewish folk tradition, God created Adam and Lilith at the same time, but Lilith refused to subordinate
to Adam and ran away. Personally, I favor Lilith who exercised her deep humanness of sexuality and independence. The
story of Eve followed Lillith and Eve was made from the rib of the Man, a role more suitable
for a Patriarch Society. Other major religions have also a problem of women’s sexuality like the image
of the virgin mother of Jesus and the Buddhist Goddess of mercy. Probably the most negative views about sexuality are conveyed
by Islamic imagery. The religion of Islam argues that social order depends on careful attention being paid to cast differences
based on gender. Men live in the public sphere and worship in the mosque, wherein women remain the private spheres of the
home where they also pray. Spiritually, women are held to be one with earth; women are assimilated to the soil and seed
to the semen. Clearly, humans added an additional dimension, it is not merely human, it is also cosmic. The man has modeled
himself on the transcendent human plane of cosmic spirit and the woman remains bound to earth.
The concept of religion is favorable for the man opposed to the woman. The
truth is that every man and woman is born with biological energy and biological energy empowers all living functions and makes
no distinctions between male and female. This biological energy is the combination of unorganized array of sensations, impulses,
and possibilities. Because of our genitals, immediately after birth or in the womb society directs and limits the empowerment
of biological energy that increases those sensations, impulses, and possibilities throughout our lives.
Part three of three
The inherent urge of harmonizing biological
energies.
Each one of us is born with biological energy which empowers all living
functions and makes no distinction between male and female. These biological energies are the sum of nature operating
through us, both destructive and creative. These powerful forces of nature are destructive if ignored and unheeded, however,
creative, and the source of guidance and meaning essential for development. Nature represents creation and life, earthiness,
and concreteness, receptive and yielding, dark and light, cold and hot, soft and hard, stimulating and dividing, male and
female, etc. Because human beings are the sums of nature, they are potentially bisexual, biologically as well as psychologically.
At birth this biological energy is the combination of unorganized array of male and female sensation, impulses, potentialities,
and possibilities. In other words, each human being has male and female energies and the inherent urge is harmonizing both
energies simultaneously toward wholeness of individuation, the state of being what one was meant to become. This is a crucial
concept of wholeness, a healthy mind, because our present socialization is destructive and inhibits potentialities to male
and female simultaneously. The aim of religion should be in harmonizing these energies, however, in many religions these energies
are repressed and what remained is mere body function. This body function is mechanical and serves as a fence for false security
and fulfilment. As you can see, the psyche’s interest is security opposed finding out what is true. The point to be
emphasized is that from the beginning, man and woman sets his and her imitation of meaning and fulfillment. The faithful repetition
of an inherited memory, heros’ sexuality, and immortality still survive in the modern world today denying the fact that
man and woman is today mortal and sexualized.
Morality does not offer us a coming world, which is better than the good.
The idea of a bridge, or bridge, or retribution which justice is administered is the myth of immortality. The Last Day the
day of standing up or separation is a theology of many religions. Judaism after the prophets viewed the body as a sort of
prison for the soul, which long to rise again to God. Man’s salvation lies in the direction of the mortification of
sensual impulses. With Hinduism, however, the soul, substance, unchanging, in man and which transmigrates or is reincarnated.
To conclude, an examined life is Good. Examination of myths derived from inherited
memories and socialization. It is clear that within the human body including the mind, a superior organ is the sum of nature
or biological energies’ ready to unfold potentialities and possibilities. Improper socialization robs potentialities
and possibilities that create a life of fulfillment and meaning.

in the image ofr God He created him; male and female He created them.

them , "Be fruitful and multiply..........
