Do you have amnesia?

It has come to my attention that you have managed to come down with a case of amnesia. You don't know who you are, where you are from and who your friends or family are. You don't know what country you are in or even remember what planet. Consequently, you are feeling a little alienated and confused. So, your finding this site and specifically this particular post, means you are damn lucky so give some thanks. Anyway, out of the infinite compassion in my heart, I will point out where the hand holds are on the side of the cliff that you are hanging on so to speak.

Before we begin, I want you to remember not to look down. When ever you feel any vertigo, take some deep breaths, rub your hands together and place them over your eyes.

First of all, the world that you have woken up into is completely mad. It is obseessed with death and destruction. The country that is in charge rules from the end of a gun. Its leaders use the threat of force to spread fear and panic over the various medias that they can influence. They mostly concentrate on mass medias that have a high saturation quotient. Basically, the main religion worships death. The religion claims to follow the words of this one guy. He said to "turn the other cheek." He was an anarchist who liked to heal the sick and encourage people to love eachother. Somehow, this religion has formed around him that uses a story of his crucifixion (a form of torture) as its symbol, theme and foundation. How can this not lead to feelings of persecution and the need to extract revenge? Thus we have a war where innocent humans are murdered in his name.

The norm for many people at this time is to invent scenarios to cause stress to themselves. Then they are able to smoke cigarettes, drink beer and eat junkfood and feel justified because they "need to relax". What better way to relax then to participate voluntarily with the process of death?

Turn on the television. Find a news channel or a drama. Sit back and observe the violence and death. It seems to be an epedemic. Why is this happening? Advertisers have found that people become more impressionable to their messages when they are emotionally vulnerable. The advertiser's ability to persuade becomes magnified when the viewers have seen some hard core violence, death or maybe some sex. Horror is one of the most popular genres in fiction and motion pictures.

I hope that my words have helped you to understand a bit of what is occuring around you. Just remember, the closest you can get to truth is when your mind gets quiet enough so that you can hear the wisdom of your heart.
