LOVE IS JUST AROUND THE CORNER

Can anyone else feel it in the air? It seems so glaringly obvious.

For many years it seemed to be a reasonable conclusion that outlook of life was based upon to main cause-and-effect factors, two choices:

1.) Naivette, stupidity, happiness, fakeness, Holden's "phoney", ignorance is bliss

OR

2.) sincerity and intelligence equals . . . curiousity and honesty equals . . .

And the world is a horrible dark place of suffering. Overwhelming horror under every rock. Dark overlords want to kill and control YOU.
Peel away the Disneyworld and there goes Amida under the Bodhi tree wondering "why msut we suffer"

A world filled with fear of information. (o I could recommend some databases for YOU)
Get over it.
Delve in deep, get depressed, and swim through the muck shinier than ever.

Anyways, I hope we can be over that soon. Research and research and reseach (o I could recommend some books and sites), and its all swell, or rather its not;
and yet the eternal MYSTERY underlies the nonsense, for who knows shit anyways??

Everyone is so bloody depressed. I am hardly one to talk, but it gets tiring and cliched after a while.

(Anything to be a cliche--)

Can we be happy without being stupid? This is the test we are given.


"YAY", cuz the world ain't all bad and destiny is just around the corner, love wants to burst through, so don't give up.

WHERE IS THE LOVE??

WHERE IS THE CHOICE

HOW GOES THE INFORMATION STREAM-->

And here I thought it was just because mercury was in retrograde. Silly human.

Seriously though, maybe there is such a thing as being TOO "informed". We get bombarded by information from all over the world, 24/7, coming at us from different vectors, a great deal of it trivial (not to mention all manner of propaganda, disinfo, advertising and infotainment) but a lot of the important stuff gets lost in the noise. Linear thinking gets rendered obsolete pretty damn fast in the wake of such a flood. Non-linear thinking (ie. pattern recognition) is NOT encouraged, either by our education system or our top-down corporate media. I tend to think of it as a new form of control, and it seems to work better than old fashioned censorship.

Is pattern recognition the same now as fear of information?

An astrological rationalle always makes the most sense...

Is there such a thing as too much information? We are certainly suffering from information overload. (which is perhaps an argument for Extropian cybernetic evolution in order to process higher data ranges, but a discussion for another occasion...) The problem, at times, seems to be pattern recognition-as-propaghanda itself. When the stream of info is controlled as it is, then we start getting paranoid and forming outlandish theories which distract from whatever the hell is really going on out there

Multimedia disinfo bombs, more dangerous then lies these days . . . .


ANYWAYS I'm trying to be hopeful starting now
