plain good truth - i take it
plain good truth - i take it you are old enough to know how painful and mercyless the questions are once asked,

Hi Mellow
hi Mellow,
Well, i did get kicked out of cathoic school for asking simple questions like "why" and " what authority is that based upon"... But people much older than me had is worse, they were excommunicated or burned at the stake
Luckily the church doesnt have their way anymore, but worse still are mechanisms in place that still try to control our minds. trying to convince us that there is ultimate good and evil. and that "they" (who ever they are at the moment, these days they are terrorist, a while back it was the communists and a while back it was witches) are evil. and this justifies us "good" people to act badly in order to destroy evil....
This is just one example of a mind control pattern deliberatly planted in us at an early stage of life that is backed up by fear and guilt. and once this emotion is invoked, most will just follow like blind sheep. ( any belief that is backed up by fear and guilt is negative and is for that very reason, a device designed to control you, and should be looked at with new eyes!)
the biggest pain of asking these questions is in the inward journey, daring to look at yourself without these pious self righeous ideals (ie. i am saved, or i am better than they are etc.) attitude is very painful indeed.and to realise that we all have a dark side and the there is no ultimate good an evil, is very difficult realisation indeed.
I am knocking monthiestic religions a bit here, but it does go deeper than that. any cultural conditioning automatically instills a set of metaphysical assumptions in a person that is very difficult for that person to see. so it is very difficult to have insight into the metaphysical without at least understanding ones own cultural limitations. that one sees reality through a certain cultural filter is inevitalbe. so since it cant be avoided, it can at least be recognised.
well, as usual, am babbling on too much. thanks for your comment

Depth.
This has some real depth. In physics we know resitance from the walls holds back the flow of stuff like water in pipes. So channelled, media managed thoughts, must be similarly affected. We are mangled by memes. Hope you don't mind me sharing a poem it brought to mind.
The Age Demanded.
The age demanded that we sing
And cut away our tongue.
The age demanded that we flow
And hammered in the bung.
The age demanded that we dance
And jammed us into iron pants.
And in the end the age was handed
The sort of shit that it demanded.
Ernest Hemmingway.
Hi
Hello Depth,
Physco-hydrolics is the classical formula for psychotherapy which usually leads to drugs and no real cure.
Very interessting poem from Hemmingway at a very special point in history. between the first and second world wars which made basically two types of people. those who basically feel abandoned by thier faith through the horrors of ww1 and those just dont a shit before the second ww hit.
thanks for you feedback
