Persistence of Vision..............

Sometime prior to November 29th, 2009.


The theory known as the Persistence of Vision states something to the extent that the eye naturally resets itself every few moments and that the brain fills in (from memory) the blind/blank times while the eye is momentarily resetting itself and is therefore unable to see.

Given such, how can you be sure if what you are seeing is reality or not??? In other words, how do you know whether your mind is telling you that you are seeing something that is or is not there in reality?

Do Unto Others and the Same Will Be Done Unto You By Others !!

October 16th, 2009

I think the Golden Rule is an over-arching rule of life. It seems that many in our society seem to forget these words / this rule when interacting with others. I think these words are / this rule is more than a proverb, however. I am convinced that the wording of the Golden Rule is a warning that has been passed down through the ages. As an example, when interacting with others in most of life’s settings, I am convinced that if one were to concern themselves with the well-being of the other party [or parties] interacting in any given matter, that the end product of the dealings will be much more rewarding to the non-self-centered party – more rewarding than can even be measured or anticipated in most cases. Bottom line: if nothing else, at least try to be nice and polite to everyone.

PS. I mean..., in the extreme and if I were God, I would go around as a homeless, down-trodden individual and see how I was treated for future reference.

Focus / Concentrate on the Positive, Positive Energy

October 14th, 2009

Focus on the positive things in life. Don't fall into the trap of focusing on negative energy - I know its easy to become negative and I dont mean to preach, as I am no saint, I'm sure. However, when focusing on negative energy one enters into a downward spiral that leads to more negative energy heading one's way. Negativity only begets more negativity - from both yourself and from others as well. To put it simply, try to focus on what is good in life and try not to unduly focus on any shortcomings of life. When something goes awry and causes any anger, acknowledge that negative energy and try to channel it into doing something productive - preferably use that energy to positively change the situation.

Tornadoes in Argentina and Brazil on or about September 8th , 2009

Sept. 22nd, 2009

I wonder what the seemingly paradigm-laden, mainstream tornado researchers have to say about the latest tornadoes in Argentina and Brazil? (Click to Fox News to see story: http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,547900,00.html ) Because, those researchers seem to nearly always prefer to mandate the involvement of the Gulf of Mexico in the formation of any tornadoes. (Of course, that is for the tornadoes in North America). Nevertheless, the point I make is that such tornadoes as those that recently appeared in South America appear as no oddity or exception to my model concerning the formation of tornadoes. I wonder if the mainstream tornado researchers can make the same claim?

Tornadoes in South Jersey?

August 4th, 2009

On NBC’s Today show for Saturday, August 1st, 2009 (if I’m not mistaken), the weather person warned of the potential of isolated tornadoes throughout the northeastern United States. And oddly enough, the previous day a family member of a friend living in Southern New Jersey believed that a tornado had touched down on his property due to the excessive damage caused by a passing and vicious thunderstorm. Furthermore, while driving through the Pine Barrens region of South Jersey, several uprooted trees lined the road. This blogger had to wonder, was such the result of a tornado as well?

Vow of poverty?

July 13th, 2009

Vow of poverty?? An idea whose day has returned? If we no longer cared about ‘their’ [fiat] money, what would ‘they’ do? If ‘they’ realized we no longer needed ‘them’ or ‘their’ [fiat] money, how would 'they' respond? ‘They’ surely seem to need us to need ‘them’ and ‘their’[fiat] money. For if we did not need ‘them’ or ‘their’ [fiat] monies, ‘they’ would have no control over us, as ‘they’ would no longer be needed because ‘we’ cared not of ‘their’ worthless monies [fiat or otherwise].

Hey Google and Blogspot, A Question on Monetizing Blogs

Hey Google, Hey Blogspot,
If I 'monetize' my blogs, does the speech and sentiments relayed in the blog thereby become 'commercial speech' and therefore as such not protected by the same Rights concerning freedom of speech as 'non-commercial' speech?
