Morally Fragile World

We are living in a morally fragile world. An experiment was conducted in 1960 where participants were asked by a doctor to raise the level of a device that would electrically shock someone in the next room. The participants were unaware that the person being “electrically charged” was an actor. Every time they would raise the voltage, the actor would scream in more and more pain. He would even come to the point where he pretended to die if the voltage was raised at its max. The participants simply had to obey or not obey the doctor’s orders.  60% obeyed knowing they were killing someone and 40% disobeyed. In 2011, the same experiment was performed and an overwhelmingly 75% obeyed.

This shows that people are less moral today. The reason they claim is due to television, computers, video games, iPads and cell phones. You see, people are connected to their device and not to other people. They are living in their own world full of fantasy and are not engaging with one another. “People are strange,” according to Jim Morrison. It’s true, it’s difficult to meet and talk to strangers and technology makes it easy for us to put in our headphones, listen to music and ignore the rest of the world. But when you don’t interact with people you lose a sense of camaraderie and this experiment proves it.

The Matrix was all about unplugging from computers so they can see the world for what it is. Inside the Matrix, people are cold and apathetic. Even when the main characters reenter the Matrix, they appear as these stoic programmed figures. They are the images they want to project to their enemies. In the real world, they are human. Loving and caring even in a world that is dark outside. They’re goal is to unplug the others so they can live in a world without the Matrix. Morpheus says some are not ready, the same is true for our world.

Atheists are part of this mission of unplugging people and helping them realize that religion is useless, but they are still not seeing the whole picture.  We are conscious human beings; there would be no universe if consciousness did not exist. When you look at the sky, the ocean, the rainbow, the stars, the moon, and all the creatures, you realize it is for us to enjoy.

There are two types of imagination that affect morality. One type is the childish way that has value for children but not for adults. Grown men and women envision God as a person who watches over them like Santa Claus. Then there’s the other one based on knowledge and common sense creating innovation and progress. Space exploration is the result of this kind of imagination. To be moral you have to know what is real. You can’t believe that Prince Charming will save you from whatever bad thing is going on in your life. You’re living in a fantasy world, the Matrix.

The moral experiment mentioned above reflects our society. It’s like a game; people just let others die and it’s no problem. The same thing is happening around the world where people are dying and no one cares to stop it. There are a billion slaves still, animals are tortured every day, the environment is polluted and the planet is overheating. This is not an experiment, this is real life! Your awareness surrounding life will open you to love but love does not exist without moral justice. You don’t have to join a religion or obey others rules to understand moral justice. Simply think for yourself and understand the right way to become an outstanding human being. 

Aliens!

My friend Dan always talks to me about aliens. He says they are all around us and have been around for thousands of years. He says governments around the world are worried about all of this. If this is true, then these aliens must be very intelligent to be able to travel a long distance to this planet. They must be way smarter than any of our scientists. But why would anyone have a problem with intelligent creatures? If an alien knocked on my front door, I would open it and ask, “What do you prefer, coffee or tea?” From my experience, I’ve never had problems with intelligent people, the problems I have are with the stupid ones. Don’t worry about aliens, worry about the stupid people on this planet.

The problem with stupid people is they fight for what they believe in instead of what they should know because they are not interested in knowing, they’re interested in fighting. They become obsessed with their beliefs where any intelligent conversation cannot take place. They become extremists willing to kill you or themselves, so how can you communicate with them? They should be reprogrammed to think for themselves through education and understand that believing is not knowing.

The way you think for yourself is to write down a few questions you don’t understand, sit down with a cup of coffee or tea with some friends and talk about it or talk to yourself, your dog or cat. What is it that bothers you? Before I go to sleep I ask God to help me with some question and in the morning I usually have an answer. When you spend more time thinking for yourself, you’d be surprised about what you could find out.

Going back to the discussion I had with Dan, I developed my own theory on how aliens can move in space so swiftly. It was interesting to consider that alien spacecrafts fly faster than the speed of light and can change directions rapidly. It reminded me of the particle around the nucleus. When you electrically stimulate these particles around the nucleus they jump from one orbit to another faster than the speed of light. Nobody knows how this happens yet.

Since there are permanent orbits around the nucleus then it’s quite possible that the universe is not a blanket like some scientists thought but a place where the magnetic field created circles which we consider as orbits. It’s like when you throw a stone in a lake and it creates these rings. In space, the magnetic power of the planets creates these rings but they remain permanent. The earth gets caught in this ring which we call our orbit and the moon gets caught in the earth’s ring which we call the moon’s orbit, etc. These aliens could have figured out a way to imitate the particle around the atomic nucleus and can jump around from one orbit to another orbit faster than the speed of light.

I just want to show that when you think for yourself you come up with all kinds of different theories. It makes scientists think about other possibilities to find the truth. You cannot find the truth when everybody believes in the same thing, it’s unproductive. How can anyone find the truth if they stick to what people have believed for thousands of years? The way to find the truth is to think for yourself. By having all these different theories, we will find the truth about whatever we imagine. Wouldn’t that be great?

The Misunderstanding of Truth

Some people misunderstand my explanation of how I’ve proven to Some people watch magic shows because it makes them feel good. Some people watch movies because it makes them feel good as well. But they all know that it is just a bag of tricks, they are suspended in disbelief for an hour and a half and then they go back to their lives. People do not realize it is the same thing with religion which is all just a bag of tricks. The difference is when people leave the church, they carry on this disbelief that has been fed to them by a magician preaching the word of God. The reason they stay in disbelief is because it makes them feel better. People need a way to cope with the stresses of day to day life, but there’s a problem; these people let others think for them causing hate to others, like homosexuals for example.

 

Religion influences a person’s way of believing in the same way, atheists influence people to not believe in God, it is just like religion. My message here and in my book The Mathematics of Life is very simple…THINK FOR YOURSELF.

 

Humans have their own heads to think for themselves. It’s important that people understand we are all capable of being humane. Our goal as a species is to get along and make the planet a better place for humanity and all other beings. What we learn from the story of Babel is if we keep on “babeling” and bickering over beliefs we won’t get anything done. (I know this is not what they teach you in Church, I discuss this more in the book) We should not separate ourselves into different belief-oriented organizations where some people believe in this and others believe in that. When a bunch of people believe in the same thing, it becomes a power. People in power become bullies. No bully has the right to use force on an individual because the rights of the individual to be their own person is the most important right.

When you think for yourself you come up with a result. If other people think for themselves, they actually help humanity come up with new concepts to help the world. Most scientists who think for themselves come up with different theories and do not physically fight about it. They actually like to hear other theories about what their colleague’s came up with so they can find a better way of understanding something. With these theories comes the truth through tests. They don’t stick to one theory and let it sit forever, like religion.

There is no way for all people to think the same thing, there are still people who believe the Earth is flat... http://theflatearthsociety.org/cms/. My point is they are all thinking the same way because they did not come to that conclusion by themselves. If someone wants to believe the Earth is flat, then great. Good for him. But when people let themselves believe that person’s theory on only that person’s evidence, they become a blind follower. I’m saying, don’t be influenced. Be an individual. Find your own proof. Do you believe everything you read, hear or watch?

myself that there is a power in this universe. As a child, I realized I had self awareness. I knew that I was in this body.  By thinking for myself, I figured there has to be a power, the more I learned the more I understood the power of the universe. I named that power GOD.

 

The experiences I discussed in my book happened to me. I learned from it. It became knowledge. It is true to me because of that life experience. I do not have to prove it to anyone. Only you can prove things to yourself. What makes sense to you? I cannot prove that you are in your body; you have to prove that to yourself. It’s just like what René Descartes said, “I think, therefore I am.”

 

Religious people have a hard time admitting that throughout history, their religion has been the cause of many terrible things. In fact, many atrocities are still happening today in the name of religion. They say, “That’s not my religion, those are just the extremists!” But the extremists came from their religion. They are not thinking for themselves and are following the varied interpretations of their “holy” books.

They say beliefs are harmless but so many people have died over beliefs for centuries. American citizens died on September 11, 2001 because the Muslim extremists believed in their ridiculous doctrine. The problem is once you belong to an organization you are brought together by your one belief. This is unhealthy because in religion, you are letting people you believe have a direct connection to God tell you what to believe in.

People who think for themselves made the world a better place, from Archimedes all the way to Steve Jobs. (These people are all discussed in my book). People with different views actually enjoy discussing their views together because it helps them with their understanding. This is contrary to religion where they will shun or even kill you if you don’t think the way they do.

My book is not like other books, it is an example of how to think for yourself and how there are so many benefits that come because of it. It is not a book to make you part of the collective. It’s quite the opposite.

When you think for yourself you find the truth.

Think For Yourself

I want you to think for yourself. Just because I know there is a God does not mean I want you to know there is a God. I simply want you to think for yourself. Don’t let religion or atheists influence the way you think. Think for yourself! My book, The Mathematics of Life, explores my extraordinary life and how I came to know God. I am just an example of critical thinking. I thought for myself. I came to the conclusion that there is a God. This book is not a message for people to become my disciples, it’s quite the opposite. I want you to think for yourself.

This phrase deserves repeating because people do not think for themselves, they only think they do. Really take the time to consider whether your beliefs came from your parents, school or religion. God has nothing to do with religion. Religion explores ways on how to believe in God. Do you see the difference? They enslave people to become mindless followers. Man is not able to become human unless they think for themselves. My book examines this in more detail; I just don’t want you to misinterpret what I am trying to say.
