mmmm...thoughts...

if i put an h in front of the m's it's the making of a somewhat different idea...

i pay attention to things like this. apparently this is a reflection of my affinity for thinking.

imagine that...actually enjoying thought...

this society is not particularly built to encourage true freedom of thought & the pursuit of truth. there are many illusions of such things, but the actual behavior exhibited by certain members of society across the globe indicate otherwise.

universal truth is the only real truth. humans, in their limited/finite physical being state, can only know so much at a particular time. knowing this makes learning & studying that much more important as an integral part of the growth process of the human animal. the learning process i refer to does not mean the conventional educational system that most humans are subjected to today either.

conventional is a large part of the problem. the conventional system is teaching humans to be followers of the status quo. it is a training program. it is essentially training humans to be sheep &/or automatons. follow the rules. don't think outside the box. do not challenge authority. free thought opposes such ideas. free &/or creative thought has no rules, comes from no box, & generally challenges what is perceived to be authority.

fear is what is most effectively used to discourage an acceptance of truly free thought. what will happen if we begin to accept this kind of thinking? the world will go to hell! chaos will become the order of the day! etc.

this is bullshit!

control = fear = standard ways of thinking.

why is art generally minimized in society? because artists can be dangerous minds. artists are truly creative thinkers. artists are not limited to the thinking processes of the general public who have been purposely taught to limit their ways of filtering their human experience. an artist sees & expresses things from a perspective that those who wish to control the general public may find quite threatening. is it a coincidence that it is difficult to make a living as an artist? is it a coincidence that pursuing artistic careers is seen as frivolous? no & no.

this has been a personal dilemma for me for many years. i am a creative. i have an artistic mind. my immediate family never really encouraged me to be artistic. because of my academic prowess, they always encouraged me to pursue professional, scientific &/or technical careers. while i am intellectually able to do such things, these career options have never really held my interests like creative pursuits.

it's taken me some years to flesh out some of these observations, but the implications are quite fascinating to me.

make like a creative mind is not a threat...

PEACE
...be calm...
