Truth kills Good and Bad

In my mind and heart - there are no absolutes
there are no rules.

it might be good to make a peanutbutter and jelly sandwich one day
while the next, it might not be a good thing to do because I might have a stomach ache

One day, it might be good to give a homeless person a dollar
But the next, it might be bad... because I might decide that that the homeless person is a fuck face

One day I might get down on the floor and hug and love a dog
The next day, i might see a dog, and not hug it, because it looks dangerous

One day i might write in my blog and think that is a good thing
The next i might not, because I dont have anything to say

One day I might encourage someone with kind words
The next day I might try to destroy them with hateful words, just because I am upset.

There are several books, lists, and teachers who try to tell us what good is.

Which ones come to mind?

What rules and standards come to mind?

Are they always true?

I think- less and less that good is always good.

I think more and more that only I can decide what is good, and only for myself, and I can change my mind whenever I want.

Isn't this true in common practice in society? Very few people know what they want... from day to day it changes.

So I think it is true for all choices from brushing my teeth, to deciding if someone lives or dies.

Don't we all decided to let several people live every day because we choose to?

This is not because there is a list of absolutes.

This is because of our choices.

There really is no good.

There really is no right.

There is only suggestion.

There is only history.

There is only choice.

In the human mind, we are basically blind.

We use our mind to predict the path of chaotic elements.

It is truely impossible to do this accurately - but we get close.

In morality - unlike in space, we cannot predict how something we do will make another person react. This is because we are programmed to choose.

Therefore, there is no absolute good. There is no absolute way.

In my mind, I have choices. I am not bound by laws, I choose to act according to the desires I have within my surroundings. If I won't get caught and it harms noone, I might break the law. If I desire to harm someone in breaking the states law, but not to get caught, i might choose to attemp this. It is not good or bad in my mind.

We are defined by our boundaries. Our boundaries are - fire, gunshots, knives, slander, murder, jail time, hand cuffs, k-9 units, armed forces, commitees, and shame.

These things limit us and cause us to act within a boudary, thereby, defining us and influencing greatly, our profile of protocall and patterns of energy and action.

This is what we know of as satan, bad luck (luck comes from the word lucifer) and bad karma.

Good karma on the other hand is when we expect to get something pleasurable from some sacrifice that we make.

When we "place others above ourselves" we expect to recieve the same. But in reality, we are trying to get the cosmic father to sign a form inwhich the fine print states "all services that I recieve, both solicited and unsolicited, shall be worthy of its wages and paid for in full"

I don't see the idea or notion of karma as being practical, and in fact i see it as being a misleading fantasy

Some people have trouble sleeping at night because they feel unsettled about an issue that they feel guilty for.

Lets talk about this. An action was unctioned. (unction is a derivitive of the word function meaning 'to work') Then later, the notion of that unction was retracted, while the actions and propogation of that moment in time and space still lives on without absolvance. (absolve meaning to fix or forgive). This is indeed where we need the idea of forgiveness.

Lets talk about forgiveness. Its something we prescibe to regularly - because we change our minds so much. We do something we feel strongly about one moment, and later ask for forgiveness for. This is convoluted and perverted. Are we several people each? No, we are each one person with several oportunities to choose. When we have chosen to do something in the past, and we choose to contradict that in the future with an opposite action, we have not become a new person, no. We have simply changed. All of us change.

Why are we not ok with this? Because we want to be able to predict the action of those around us. We want to identify and fix a lable on all people. Is this good or is this bad? It is neither. But it is true.

Once a person has acted, we subconciously calculate that the probablility of that person choosing the same way in the next chance, has risen. In other words, when someone acts, we witness it as their personality. Instead of viewing each time as an isolatd case with variables, we assume and simplify things to a 3 year olds way of thinking and we amputate 90% of our minds by assuming that this person is a simple machine with no virtue of dynamics, living in a clinically isolated chamber of super controlled constants. Is this right or wrong? It is neither, but it is true.

When we look at our past, after we have changed our views, we feel regret. We regret that we didn't know better. But most of all, we regret that we hurt someone... perhaps knowingly or unknowligly.

If we give this just 2 more steps or so of thought, we see that it is silly to have regrets.

We acted according to who we ARE. We are not good, and we are not bad. We simply are, and have a wide range of colors that change every moment. People need space.

It is of no logic that we should become angry at a person. To be angry, makes you a fool. If you are angry, this means you expect better of a person. What right do you have to expect better of anyone? People each have as much power and life force as you do. No more and no less. You have no right to tell them how to use it. There is no right and wrong, there is only suggestion, and there is only manipulation.

Do what you want. This to me, is the whole law of action. We each have minds capable of calculating probability of the paths of things following your actions. This is accoutability.

Accountability is the ABILITY to COUNT - both into the future and into the past. With this commonly bestowed human gift, we are able to make choices based upon the likely path of the outcome. But, there is no guarantee of accuracy.

In this, we need Tact.

Tact is the aquired skill of accomodating others with gracious words to cause them to react with a desired state of mind.

The opposite of tact is Antagonism.

Antagonism is the act of inciting emotional discomfort in an opponent in order to bring forth a desired result

I hope you have enjoyed this mind storm.
