The Biocentric Universe: Life Creates Time

The Biocentric Universe Theory: Life Creates Time, Space, and the Cosmos Itself
by Robert Lanza and Bob Berman
From the May 2009 issue, published online May 1, 2009
Source: [link]

The farther we peer into space, the more we realize that the nature of the universe cannot be understood fully by inspecting spiral galaxies or watching distant supernovas. It lies deeper. It involves our very selves.

This insight snapped into focus one day while one of us (Lanza) was walking through the woods. Looking up, he saw a huge golden orb web spider tethered to the overhead boughs. There the creature sat on a single thread, reaching out across its web to detect the vibrations of a trapped insect struggling to escape. The spider surveyed its universe, but everything beyond that gossamer pinwheel was incomprehensible. The human observer seemed as far-off to the spider as telescopic objects seem to us. Yet there was something kindred: We humans, too, lie at the heart of a great web of space and time whose threads are connected according to laws that dwell in our minds.

Is the web possible without the spider? Are space and time physical objects that would continue to exist even if living creatures were removed from the scene?

Figuring out the nature of the real world has obsessed scientists and philosophers for millennia. Three hundred years ago, the Irish empiricist George Berkeley contributed a particularly prescient observation: The only thing we can perceive are our perceptions. In other words, consciousness is the matrix upon which the cosmos is apprehended. Color, sound, temperature, and the like exist only as perceptions in our head, not as absolute essences. In the broadest sense, we cannot be sure of an outside universe at all.

For centuries, scientists regarded BerkeleyÂs argument as a philosophical sideshow and continued to build physical models based on the assumption of a separate universe Âout thereÂ into which we have each individually arrived. These models presume the existence of one essential reality that prevails with us or without us. Yet since the 1920s, quantum physics experiments have routinely shown the opposite: Results do depend on whether anyone is observing. This is perhaps most vividly illustrated by the famous two-slit experiment. When someone watches a subatomic particle or a bit of light pass through the slits, the particle behaves like a bullet, passing through one hole or the other. But if no one observes the particle, it exhibits the behavior of a wave that can inhabit all possibilitiesÂincluding somehow passing through both holes at the same time.

Some of the greatest physicists have described these results as so confounding they are impossible to comprehend fully, beyond the reach of metaphor, visualization, and language itself. But there is another interpretation that makes them sensible. Instead of assuming a reality that predates life and even creates it, we propose a biocentric picture of reality. From this point of view, life Â particularly consciousnessÂcreates the universe, and the universe could not exist without us.

MESSING WITH THE LIGHT>
Quantum mechanics is the physicistÂs most accurate model for describing the world of the atom. But it also makes some of the most persuasive arguments that conscious perception is integral to the workings of the universe. Quantum theory tells us that an unobserved small object (for instance, an electron or a photonÂa particle of light) exists only in a blurry, unpredictable state, with no well-defined location or motion until the moment it is observed. This is Werner HeisenbergÂs famous uncertainty principle. Physicists describe the phantom, not-yet-manifest condition as a wave function, a mathematical expression used to find the probability that a particle will appear in any given place. When a property of an electron suddenly switches from possibility to reality, some physicists say its wave function has collapsed.

What accomplishes this collapse? Messing with it. Hitting it with a bit of light in order to take its picture. Just looking at it does the job. Experiments suggest that mere knowledge in the experimenterÂs mind is sufficient to collapse a wave function and convert possibility to reality. When particles are created as a pairÂfor instance...

Logic; What is that?

=DrugArt — Thu, 26 Nov 2009 13:54:48 PST

The trickiest thing about the human condition is the inconsistency in our views and beliefs. Let's take for example the question "Do you think babies should be tortured?", any sane person would say of course not, it's immoral and unjustified. Now let's take the statement "Right and wrong are in the eye of the beholder.", if you agree with that and I know most of you will you'd be contradicting yourself and there the consistency of the human logic fails.

Of course babies shouldn't be tortured; you'll say, that means you're a morally objective person.

And if you agree that right or wrong should only be considered from the user's point of view and we as observers cannot interfere in that right, that'll make you more of a morally relativistic person. Let's say you have a gay friend, maybe in your country homosexuality is taboo and considered as a menace to humankind so you can simply be morally objective about it and condemn his sexuality, but still you have no right to tell him what's right and wrong because from his/her perspective everything is functioning normally. So which one will you go with?

Funny thing is even though these 2 philosophies (moral objectivity and moral relativism) may seem like they could together fit in your daily activities just fine and they probably do but the truth is they cannot meet because they promote logic failure in the human race.

So now if you consider yourself a morally relativistic person and I ask you the question "Should babies be tortured?", your answer would be "It all depends on the conditions of that specific situation. Both options are possible."

And it makes you think, if I can't keep the consistency of my logic straight... then who am I really and do I know enough about what I'm supposed to know about myself, where I live, my place in this universe, can light travel faster than its own speed?

"I had a friend once who told me that the worst mistake that you can make is to think you are alive, when you're really asleep in life's waiting room. The trick is to combine your waking rational abilities with the infinite possibilities of your dreams. 'Cause if you can do that you can do anything. Did you ever have a job that you hated? Worked really hard at? A long, hard day at work, finally you get to go home, get in bed, close your eyes, and immediately you wake up and realize that the whole day at work had been a dream? It's bad enough that you sell your waking life for ... for minimum wage, but now they get your dreams for free."

Hello everyone,

First I wanna send a big thanks to the models in my latest artistic nude series, I couldn't have done it without you... OBVIOUSLY!
I really hope you've enjoyed them as much as I did, I know it's not much but this is my first "artistic nude" experience and I think it turned out alright. You be the judge!

Another thing that struck my attention is that I recently passed the 1200 watchers and I wanna thank you all for making this happen. However, I'm still not getting enough favs nor views on any of my photos expect very few which is seriously pissing me off! I mean what's wrong people? You don't like my art? Then why are you watching me? I was just checking some of the photos submitted 3 days ago and they still have like 20-30 favs... I MEAN COME ON!!! Believe it or not but I'm getting more feedback on facebook, this is insane!

Last but not least, I have discovered that the colors of my laptop are waaaaaaaaay different than the colors of any other computer screen or laptop which is a huge issue when it comes to editing my photos, the colors are appearing a bit too much when this is a computer glitch and not done intentionally. I'm gonna buy a new PC soon so this problem is gonna be solved soon I hope.

Hello folks, I just wanna say sorry for not being active lately and I know my recent photos are below the average but there is nothing I can do about it at the moment. As you know I lost my 18-135mm lens and I can't take anymore wide angle photos which sucks coz I used to take all my landscapes with this wide lens. Anyway, I hope soon I'll be having new material to upload... Until then, I wanna thank each and everyone of you for viewing, faving and commenting on my works, it really means alot and if you have any question or anything else you wanna tell me, feel free to note me, I don't bite.

Point Of View

Here's another round of watchers and even none watchers features. If you're interested, please leave a link to your best deviation and honestly don't make me choose , be the better judge and pick of one your best and I'll feature it in my next journal.

You're probably wondering why do I do this... well it's very simple, I find it important to encourage people to get into the art scene, even if they weren't talented or not good enough to be considered artists. I think that's the point we're missing, it's not just enough to encourage talented people and applaud them, I think it's a necessity to encourage all kinds of people in what they are trying to achieve with their skills. Because I prefer to be living in a society where everyone are indulged in the art scene rather than politics, religion or other useless stuff that most people do. So in return, if you ever met someone whose hobby is photography, painting, drawing or whatever it is and he's not good enough at, try not to laugh but encourage and guide them, truth is no one ever encouraged me to become a photographer... More art leads to a smarter planet

I bought the lens... YAY! I got the 50mm 1.4f auto-focus sweet deal.

I almost went to jail today, what was I thinking shooting inside a fast food store full of people. I got stopped by the intelligent services, they took my cam, my lenses, my phone and even my ID and they were about to take me to their station for investigation... I donno what for, they thought I'm some sort of a terrorist or something. Lucky me the Chef at the store told them I'm a regular customer and eventually they let me go...

50mm 1.4f

Hello everyone, great news... to me at least! I finally decided to buy a new lens, I've had enough with mine (18-135mm 3.5f). So I'm getting a 50mm fixed with 1.4f specially made for portraits, the only problem is it's all manual but that's alright considering the lens' potentials.

I'm supposed to buy the lens on saturday so let's hope for the best!

More News From Nowhere

ThereÂs something fishy about us humans taking over the planet declaring it our private property, itÂs amazing how many breed weÂve managed to exterminate and send back to our lord and only savior Jesus Christ with a ÂxoxoÂ note at the end of our endless listÂ Or was it Krishna, the savior with 6 arms? I keep forgetting which dude was nailed to a tree for saying Karma is a bitch.

We humans, an intelligent species or at least thatÂs what we pretend to be, we have a problem. I donÂt understand why we get so defensive over something thatÂs not ours to claim in the first place. You see, when planet Earth was born there were no rules, no borders, no countriesÂ In other words, none of us was there to fuck up the party.

Why fight over food and water when thereÂs obviously enough for everybody to share. What about territories, we defend our identities with pride and blood and with the impulsion to neglect our environmentÂ
Keep cutting trees down you fuckers till thereÂs no tree left to tell what the hell just happened! Who do you think make oxygen you idiots?

IÂm not Lebanese, IÂm not Croatian and IÂm not AfricanÂ Well, I am originally African but thatÂs a whole different story. IÂm not any of those and IÂll never be one, I simply belong to the planet and not the other way around. I happen to have EarthÂs tags written all over my DNA.

So you people need to calm the fuck down and face it, no one got it worse than the dinosaursÂ They missed The Ark.

Looking up into the night sky is looking into infinity - distance is incomprehensible and therefore meaningless.

Putting Things In Perspective

If the Milky Way galaxy was the size of a grain of salt, the visible universe would be about 3 football fields wide.

If our solar system was the size of a grain of salt, the Milky Way galaxy would e 24 miles in diameter.

If Earth was the size of a grain of salt, our solar system would be 2 football fields wide.

If a hydrogen atom was the size of a football field, its nucleus would be the size of a grain of salt.

If the nucleus of a hydrogen was the size of a football field, a quark would be about the size of a golf ball.

If a hydrogen atom was the size of our solar system, a superstring (assuming string theory is correct) would be about the size of a tree (give or take a leaf).

The major religions on the Earth contradict each other left and right. You can't all be correct. And what if all of you are wrong? It's a possibility, you know. You must care about the truth, right? Well, the way to winnow through all the differing contentions is to be skeptical. I'm not any more skeptical about your religious beliefs than I am about every new scientific idea I hear about. But in my line of work, they're called hypotheses, not inspiration and not revelation. What I'm saying is, if God wanted to send us a message, and ancient writings were the only way he could think of doing it, he could have done a better job.

Anything you don't understand, you attribute to God. God for you is where you sweep away all the mysteries of the world, all the challenges to our intelligence. You simply turn your mind off and say God did it.

You see, the religious people Â most of them Â really think this planet is an experiment. That's what their beliefs come down to. Some god or other is always fixing and poking, messing around with tradesmen's wives, giving tablets on mountains, commanding you to mutilate your children, telling people what words they can say and what words they can't say, making people feel guilty about enjoying themselves, and like that. Why can't the gods leave well enough alone? All this intervention speaks of incompetence. If God didn't want Lot's wife to look back, why didn't he make her obedient, so she'd do what her husband told her? Or if he hadn't made Lot such a shithead, maybe she would've listened to him more. If God is omnipotent and omniscient, why didn't he start the universe out in the first place so it would come out the way he wants? Why's he constantly repairing and complaining? No, there's one thing the Bible makes clear: The biblical God is a sloppy manufacturer. He's not good at design, he's not good at execution. He'd be out of business if there was any competition.

God exists on the 100 dollars bill

=DrugArt — Wed, 28 Jan 2009 04:59:09 PST

Let's assume that this god person really does exist. This infinite deity that created the universe is really there. However, we must understand that this god person doesn't control his creation, the universe is simply governed by the laws of physics, law of gravity and attraction. To be able to understand why our life behaves the way it does, we must understand where we live first. Our universe and I repeat OUR UNIVERSE is based on reserve engineering which means an infinite life cycle that never stops including the big bang which have happened many times before. The universe always existed even before the big bang.

Before jumping into conclusions, just know that our universe is bursting with life forms all over the hundreds of billions of galaxies in the vacuum space.

So god did it all? And where did god come from? Who is this god person anyway? Is he human, is he humanoid, is he an alien, does he live inside our universe or outside it, is he Richard Nickson?

God... The joke of the millennium!

God is a Truthiness Crusader!

=DrugArt — Mon, 05 Jan 2009 03:27:00 PST

God (aka All-Merciful God; God, the Creator,; Omniphiliac God; etc.), better known as Tecumseh, or to Americans as Ronald Reagan, is the all-knowing, all-seeing, all-hearing (he can also read your thoughts and sub conciousness, so If you have a tiny tiny shard of doubt, its hell-oroma time when you die!!!) Ayran white male creator of the universe and the one true God who holds the keys to heaven: a really rockin' place featuring a 24 hour all-you-can-eat Chinese buffet and an endless supply of Budweiser beer. Heaven belongs to America because God is American. Contrary to popular belief, America is God's front lawn, which is why He puts up garden gnomes like George Bush.

All-loving God is synonymous with Stephen Colbert and George W. Bush. Almighty God elected Bush president and guided his mighty hand as he brought liberty and freedom to the godless heathens in Iraq, who welcomed U.S. troops by throwing rose petals at their feet and welcoming them as liberators... not that you ever see anything good like that on liberal leftist networks like CNN.

The Bible tells us that God, the First Being, watches Comedy Central Monday-Thursday. It's not clear if He watches at 8pm Pacific Time, or 11pm Eastern time.

It is also a proven fact that Unicornic God is a neo-conservative... or a Republican... whatever George W. Bush describes himself as being at any given time. This has been proven by many Bible verses.

Whenever you feel like asking questions, such as "why is the sky blue" or "why did George W. Bush invade Iraq"? Just remember the only answer you need ever know: "because God wishes it." No other answer is required.

Spaghedeitic God has appointed many representatives here on Earth, including Steve McQueen, Pat Robertson, Ronald Reagan, George W. Bush and Stephen Colbert. God hates Al Franken and all liberals. It says so in the Bible, somewhere in the back.

All-knowing God was born in America (Battle Creek, Michigan) and swaddled in the American flag. His mother and father were simple Americans who didn't question authority, preferring instead to just do as they were told and trust in their leaders. God kicks ass and takes names when He has to, like in Iraq... and soon in Iran... and maybe North Korea as well.

According to the Bible, Omniscient God loves everyone. But beware His wrath if you mention bears. Bears are not anyone, so they are not included in the set of "everyone." Neither are humans who mention bears; God has His own Never Existed list, just like Stephen does.

There are many different views of God across the planet, but only the Christian interpretation is correct. All other views (Allah, Yahweh, Krishna, etc.) are false and need to be eradicated as soon as possible because they are at war with our Life-giving God.

All-loving God is locked in a seemingly eternal war with His four arch-enemies. These arch enemies are:

* Allah
* Karl Marx
* David Beckham

There is also a theory that all four are actually Satan, but that has never been proved. We know who satan is.

The eternal war will end with the Rapture, when God, the Supreme Ruler,, in His ultimate triumph, will suck up all believers to heaven, leaving their clothes and liberals behind.

Unfortunately, there are many people who hate Infinitely Just God and his message of love and hope. They actually have the audacity to deny His omnipotent power. These people turn Infinitely Just God off and kill His buzz. Such people include:

* The Clinton family (especially Chelsea, who may be the anti-christ)
* Solja Boy
* Hillary Clinton
* Muslims
* Democrats
* Al Franken
* the gays
* Neil Young
* The Dixie Chicks
* John Kerry
* Barry Manilow
* Bears (especially gay ones)
* Evangelicals
* Fundamentalists
* Lukewarm beer
* Satan
* Illuminati
* Unamerican people
* People believing in science (not approved by God)
* atheists
* Calvin Coolidge
* Gum (which is why He destroyed Sodom and Gumorrah)

Almighty God knows who all these people are and what they're doing. Just like His cousin, Santa Claus, He's making his list and checking it twice... so that all these people burn in Hell.

Too Stupid to Understand Science? Try Religion!

=DrugArt — Fri, 19 Dec 2008 03:14:26 PST

Some of you knuckleheads are preaching tolerance. Tolerance is what you do when you're parents start taking you to Catholic Mass on Sunday nights. It turns into acceptance and that leads you to be tempted to fall for the shit being thrown at you. I'm guessing that since you're here you've read all the "Understanding" articles on the title bar at the top of the page from Zeitgeist Movement. So, maybe you just don't 'understand' what you read. So, I'm going to try to break it down for some of you. Here goes..

This means gods give you the sense that someone's watching over you in a friendly or fatherly way.

Whether you believe in a god or you're just spiritual, you're relationship with god or spiritual enlightenment gives you a scale, so you know where you stand in life and gives your life meaning when you feel like there's no point to life.

Similarly, the idea of 'raying' to a god for a particular request, has also statistically proven to have little effect on an outcome, not to mention the evidence to support a personified creator doesn't exist in any scientific way...rather it is often derived from ancient historical literary speculation and tradition.>

This basically says that we learned in history class that people used to do sacrifices of humans and crazy shit like that to make god happy, but we know today that there is no point to it. You cant change the weather by killing cow can you? (I'd like to see if you can We know now that things like the weather happen because of changes in the atmosphere and in the earth. Praying to god for your mom to loose her cancer is the same as killing a child to stop the wind and rain gods from sending hurricanes that kill people and ruin food crops and houses. Except that killing someone isn't allowed anymore, so people made up better ways to change god's mind, like praying. It's still only as effective as killing a child or a goat.

This is really important to understand. Animals and Plant-life/Vegetation/Earth deserves the same rights as humans. We all come from the same elements. Just because we are capable of intelligence doesn't exclude us from the rest of nature.

Religion has contradicted itself. They say in one hand that God made us from the dust of the earth and He is just as concerned with mending the broken wing of the sparrow as mending the broken soul of His people. On the other hand religious leaders say that abortion is wrong. Why kill animals and rain-forests but not children? They both have their uses, I know. Lets be honest. We can live happily without killing either. We are all a part of nature and thus must keep it alive and well if we are to have a future worth living.

Not a good father after all!

=DrugArt — Mon, 15 Dec 2008 09:21:38 PST

ItÂs always hilarious to watch a baby making mistakes, like catching a mug with boiling water in with his bare hands. Good thing parents are there to guide him through with tips and tricks about whateverÂs going on in this asylum. Since I opened up my eyes to this world, IÂve been taught by the church that I have an almighty father somewhere between the clouds, god.
I just wish that god wouldÂve been more supportive about our evolutionary journey for nearly 2 million years. He shouldÂve spoke to us, maybe wrote us with something like: ÂHeads up folks, the earth isnÂt flatÂ.Â Or maybe ÂHey there, hereÂs a book I thought it would come handy ÂHow To Make Fire For DummiesÂ ye I thought you folks might need it instead of waiting around for I donÂt know how many years for something to happenÂ or maybe just maybe, he would have warned us about stuffÂ
Like ÂHey folks, itÂs me again, you see that tall scary thing that lights the sky at night? Ye, thatÂs not me folks, itÂs called lightning and itÂs all a matter of science really, you should check that library I left you here on earth, itÂll clarify every mystery there is.Â
I just wish that my heavenly father with all his might and power would have cared about me a little more. You know dad, a chat in a while wouldnÂt hurt! You just missed the last 2 million years of my evolutionary lifeÂ Are you even there?

In my own words...

Do you know what I love most about Islam? They're so fucking cool and down to earth, specially that muhammed dude! That dude was so cool, he married a nine year old.

Come on, you can't get any cooler than that!

And they have some specific mind blowing rules. Alright, you're allowed to marry and fuck 4 women... as long as you're being fair to all of them.

I wonder if I'm allowed to have a big gang bang orgy with the 4 of them... THAT WOULD BE WICKED!

Islam is a lot like Metrosexual men; gay in every way but sexual orientation.

The Goal

We intend to restore the fundamental necessities and environmental awareness of the species through the avocation of the most current understandings of who and what we truly are, coupled with how science, nature and technology (rather than religion, politics and money) hold the keys to our personal growth, not only as individual human beings, but as a civilization, both structurally and spiritually. The central insights of this awareness is the recognition of the Emergent and Symbiotic elements of natural law and how aligning with these understandings as the bedrock of our personal and social institutions, life on earth can and will flourish into a system which will continuously grow in a positive way, where negative social consequences, such as social stratification, war, biases, elitism and criminal activity will be constantly reduced and, idealistically, eventually become nonexistent within the spectrum of human behavior itself.

This possibility is, of course, very difficult for most humans to consider, for we have been conditioned by society to think that crime, corruption and dishonesty is "the way it is" and that there will always be people who want to abuse, hurt and take advantage of others. Religion is the largest promoter of this propaganda, for the "us and them" or "good and evil" mentality promotes this false assumption.

The reality is that we live in a society that produces Scarcity. The consequence of this scarcity is that human beings must behave in self preserving ways, even if it means they have to cheat and steal in order to get what they want. Our research has concluded that Scarcity is one of the most fundamental causes of aberrant human behavior, while also leading to complex forms of neurosis in other ways. A statistical look at drug addition, crime and incarceration statistics, finds that poverty and unhealthy social conditions comprise the life experience of those who engage in such behavior.

Human beings are not good or bad... they are running, forever changing compositions of the life experience(s) that influence them. The "quality" of a human being ( if there was such a thing ) is directly related to the upbringing and thus belief systems they have been conditioned into.

This simple reality has been grossly overlooked and today people primitively think that competition, greed and corruption are "hardwired" elements of human behavior and, in turn, we must have prisons, police and hence a hierarchy of differential control in order for society to deal with these "tendencies". This is totally illogical and false.

The bottom line is that in order to change things for the better fundamentally, you must begin to address root causes. Our current society's system of "punishment" is outmoded, inhumane, and unproductive. When a serial killer is caught, most people jump up and down and scream for the death of that person. This is backwards. A truly sane society, which understands what we are and how our value systems are created, would take the individual and learn the reasons behind his or her violent actions. This information would then go to a research department which considers how to stop such conditions from occurring through education.

It is time to stop the patchwork. It is time to begin a new social approach which is updated to present day knowledge. Sadly, society today is still largely based on outmoded, superstitious dispositions and resolutions.

It is also important to point out that there are no utopias or endings. All evidence points to perpetual change on all levels. In turn, it is our personal actions everyday of our lives that mold and perpetuate the social systems we have in place. Yet, paradoxically, it is also our environmental influences which create our perspectives and hence world views. Therefore, true change will come not only from adjusting your personal understandings and decisions, but equally from changing the social structures that influence these understandings and decisions.

The elite power systems are little affected in the long run by traditional protest and political movements. We must move beyond these 'establishment rebellions' and work with a tool much more powerful:
We will stop supporting the system, while constantly advocating knowledge, peace, unity and compassion. We cannot "fight the system". Hate, anger and the 'war' mentality are failed means for change...

Ladies

It's all about knowing and I just know

LadiesÂ Have you ever had this guy friend whoÂs so special, so special that you just canÂt live without him? Yes, I know your dirty little secret. You love that ÂspecialÂ friend but not in Âthat wayÂ.

Well, let me tell you something. DonÂt do that because itÂs bad, simply wrong. If a guy wants to spend hours with you, well thatÂs because he likes you otherwise why would he put up with your crap all day long?

IÂve been into that situation recently and let me tell you something, it felt like I was at an interview and the manager is telling me:

ÂMr. George, you have an incredible resume. YouÂre skilled, talented, ambitious, smartÂ You have everything we need for an employee in this company. Infact, from now on weÂre gonna use your resume to judge all the other candidates. YouÂre just outstanding! However, I'm not gonna hire you, sorry. Instead, IÂm gonna hire a low talented, down to earth with no dreams or ambitions of whatsoeverÂ But donÂt you worry because I'm still gonna call you to complain about the one we do hire!Â

America, America, hear us when we call!

=DrugArt — Sat, 08 Nov 2008 07:53:36 PST

I wrote this a while back, like a year or so...

ItÂs December 1941, god went on vacation and left America in charge of our known world. Some say that the whole vacation thing is just a camouflage and the truth is that god is extremely sick and might die any minute now. However, that didnÂt stop the almighty atlas from taking over the world without fulfilling godÂs last wish, ÂWorld PeaceÂ. You might think that god himself was running for Miss Universe, but he was true to himself and to mankind, that weÂre still trying to figure out whatÂs so kind about it.

Your mind might juggle through this nonsense of sorts and youÂll question whether youÂre interested in my point of view or not but that wonÂt matter anyway because whatÂs done is done and thereÂs no turning back now. Whether youÂre a leftist or a rightist, youÂre on the correct track of eternal damnation, so they say. If you think America is the protector of the people, well think again, and if you think America is the big magnified devil, again you might want to reconsider that.

WeÂre not here to judge, weÂre here to analyze and by WE, I mean myself and the rest who share my vision. IÂm talking about a decade and more of world wars, global collapse and universal threats that youÂre too busy to notice with your little lifeÂs details

LetÂs start our story by the events of 1963 when President Johnson decided that the Vietnamese donÂt know how to handle brutal military conflicts and The Fat Lady should step in and make a quick demonstration. A quick demonstration that lasted 6 years with over than 6 million deaths. AmericaÂs first task was a total failure in front of the communist monster. North Vietnam was victorious, defeat and dissolution of South Vietnam and reunification of Vietnam under the rule of the Communist Party of Vietnam, these were the results of the miscalculations of President Johnson that led to the death of 6 million people, people who were serving their countries, or were they?

Afghanistan, land of the blind as I call it. Taliban ruling with an iron fist, brainwashing people with the Islamic radicalism. Now if you think about it, none of you wants a radical world based on religious beliefs. The world is going forward and atheism is becoming a part of our system, and we still see countries like Afghanistan ruling in the name of Allah. Who is this Allah person anyway?
Mr. Bin Laden was, as they say, only human. In other words he was a carbon-based life form descended from an ape. More specifically he was in his late thirties, shabby and bearded with a Kalashnikov on his back.
After 9/11, America decided to deliver the world from all evil and by that I donÂt mean the money. Afghanistan was invaded and delivered, Mr. Bin Laden ran away and surprisingly, the C.I.A. couldnÂt catch him. ThatÂs very odd; they can catch a cockroach trespassing the Mexican/American borders but they cannot catch a single guy hiding in caves whose smell can annihilate an entire district.

A lot of people revolted against the American Almighty, and have failed miserably. Ernesto Che Guevara was and still the most recognizable icon on the revolutionÂs red page. If weÂre to compare between these 2 camps, the American one and the leftists, weÂll see that no matter what the Americans do from massacres and invasions, itÂs still nothing in the evil sea of the leftists. Before America invaded Afghanistan and Iraq, Bin Laden and Saddam were treating their people as second degree citizens. Women were not allowed to show their faces, men werenÂt allowed to shave their beards and those who opposed Taliban or SaddamÂs regime, were met by a simple loving smile carrying a suicide bomber whoÂs late for heavenÂs train.

ItÂs funny, isnÂt it? We say we hate them, and we sneak out buying their powerful weapons behind the mediaÂs back.

ThatÂs us, who we are. We will never change, because we are Arabs.

My random thoughts:

- Imagine the first homosepian that strolled the earth was a homosexual, where would we be?
- What if chicken could talk and communicate with human beings, would we be cold-hearted bastards and slay them?
- What if sobriety was outlawed?
- What if prisons broke free?
- We need more panda fucking!
- I'm really starting to love the back of your head.
- Welcome to Dignity Village; where women aren't afraid to look like shit!
- Yes you can Mr. Barack Hussein Obama! but no, I don't have to
- What would YOU do if jesus didn't do anything?

1 Miracle to go, Please!

=DrugArt — Sun, 02 Nov 2008 01:58:25 PST

When I was a kid, my mom used to tell me that jesus and the saints do miracles to good people and if I was good enough they might do the same to me. I didnÂt know any better, so for 15 years this was mainly my only belief. I didnÂt think about anything else, it was me, god and the afterlife. I was obsessed to be honest.

One day, I woke up and simply asked myself ÂWhy do ÂmiraclesÂ happen to few selective people?Â Â it was a challenging question. I seriously donÂt understand how come ÂgodÂ or a stoned cow from India would do such illogical and stupid thing like saving 1 personÂs life and on the other hand, wasting 2 millions cause of a hurricane or a tsunami. If you believe that god creates and manipulates everything, then he must be in total control of Mother Nature, wouldnÂt he?

LetÂs take things from godÂs point of view, shall we? LetÂs say god exists and he does manipulate everything, why on earth would he do such thing? If you gaze into the universe, youÂll see that itÂs a magnificent creation based on calculations, physics and science. So you see, god who created this complexity wouldnÂt leave things for chance. I mean, what message could he be possibly sending when he saves 1 life against 1 million? HeÂll probably say: ÂHey, these humans are so much funÂ letÂs see howÂd they react to global warmingÂ or how about a new world war?!Â

HereÂs another thought, whatÂs more important, my life or if we prevented World War 2? Now imagine, your silly god is performing a magical miracle somewhere in the mountains of Peru to an old lady who has cancer or an unknown disease and even if she was cured, sheÂll probably die in a couple of months later. Now imagine this, and take a look at Europe in World War 2. Now you tell me, whatÂs more important!
Who would want to worship a god that prefers one person, race, religionÂ over the other?

If you declare this sadist a god of yours, well, mine is much smarterÂ

Man... I really don't know what to feel. I've become so numb, I'm not recognizing my feelings anymore.

21st Century Catastrophe

=DrugArt — Wed, 29 Oct 2008 03:04:13 PDT

Please excuse my photography because it's not directed at you personally, rather than to all of you, really. I do whatever I do; I either blow my minds out or get on with something. Don't get the wrong impression here, I'm not a skilled photographer, I've been photographing for less than 2 months only and I don't think that's enough time to call anybody a photographer or an artist, at least that's what I think.

For those who accuse me for exaggerating in my titles, comments and sometime photos, I just want them to keep remembering where they're living. Life is simple and has no rules, don't think for a second now that life revolves around happiness, love and whatever makes you reach your incredible ecstasy of minds. I'm not trying to attack anyone nor provoke anybody but your unconscious mind; I'm only trying to raise some awareness here. If I could afford a 2000$ camera, then how come some folks can't afford a daily meal? I'm just curious!

You think "Utopia Of The Future" is a far fetched dream or a story to tell our babies. But it's not, we reached Mars for fuck' sake, nothing is impossible!
There are heaps of troubles haunting our mother planet and our existence as a smart specie in this universe. All we need to do is raise global awareness...
