Your Answers Questioned

On thought

I presume “your” thoughts come from “your” mind?!?

Lets see shall we, please stop thinking for the next 60 seconds and certainly don’t think about how to stop thinking or pink iPod’s. Can you do this? No, well then whose mind is it, if “you” do not have control over it how can you call it yours…?

Next, please explain to me step by step how you construct a “thought”, come on now, you say they are yours and yet you don’t know how to form one, hmmm. Why would we need to control the buggers, thoughts that is, if they where ours. How are we creating our lives again? With thoughts we don’t control and don’t know how to create, hmmm?!? Thoughts use memory as their foundation. Memory is past. So thought is always of the past. Not generative.

On Vibration

Please show me a positive and then a negative vibration?

On Mind

Your fears only exist in your mind. This is only your fears of death of self. Your body generates what we call fears in response to physical danger, this is a momentary warning to something tangible. “What is wrong with right now unless you think about it?” Sailor Bob

On Choice

What is choice to start with? From Wikipedia: “Choice consists of that mental process of thinking involved with the process of judging the merits of multiple options and selecting one for action.”

Can I make a choice if what I am choosing is unknown to me?

Does choice imply knowledge of? i.e. What would you rather have a Sprog or Feegle? Now unless you read Terry Pratchett and/or have some Scottish influence you will not know what either of these are.

Or does choice imply awareness or knowledge of what is being chosen?

Face it, our so called choices are limited to start with. Limited by our location, we can only choose what is of earth. Limited by our culture, we can only choose what our language allows. Limited by what is known to us, i.e. from memory. If choices are from memory, which is past then how can that truly be choice when I have already lived it?

On God

God is a creation of man brought into existence to explain why the sun comes up in the morning. The most anyone can say about God is that he, she, it is un-knowable. The belief that God who by most religions definition is Omni-everything, Omni-potent, Omni-scient, Omni-present, Omni-benevolent.

How could a God that is all this want or need anything from us? How could a God of the magnitude get angry at what we do?

My logic: If God is Omni-everything, can I do something that God doesn’t want me to do? If so, I by inference must be more powerful than God by the very fact that I can do something he can’t or doesn’t want, and this is not “arrogant”.

When last did a eyebrow mite “piss you off”? And I mean only one! I can promise you the scale of God to us is a little bigger than us to a single atom and yet we arrogantly claim “I can piss God off!”.

Do you get angry with your children and condemn them for any single action? No, yet God, the supposedly biggest thing there does this all the time. I suggest that religion has made God small, petty, snivelling and childish.

On Truth

Can absolute truth be known? Would you agree that, absolute truth is timeless? What truth can you say you know today that you feel will be forever? Is there anything or is it true that all the “truths” you have held dear have died or mutated as your understanding expands?

On Health

Is health, the absence of dis-ease? Can you define some-”thing” by the absence of another “thing”? Or does health incorporate dis-ease as a path to deeper wellness?

On Self

We talk about our-selves as though we are looking from some other point/location. Who is loving themselves unconditionally? Loving implies some-thing to love, are you 2 things that you can love yourself? Is love a doing? Something you have choice over?

Questions

Can we truly live when we are slaves? Slaves to all our ideas of what should and shouldn’t be. Slaves to all the systems that this thinking has created.

Fuel for Thought

A seemingly random quote to start that I will reference later.

“Fighting for peace is like screwing for virginity.” unknown

You may or may no have received the following in your mailbox recently.

I just want to point out a couple of discrepancies in the story. Why you may ask, well I think if we are looking to discover the truth as to petrol or anything else for that matter, then we need to do so truth-fully i.e. full-of-truth.

By the way I do believe that mass action will change the world as long as we are not fighting once again for a “piece”.

Don’t pump fuel on may 15th.
In April, 1997, there was a “gas out” conducted nationwide in protest
of fuel prices. Gasoline prices dropped 30 cents a gallon overnight.

Sorry, nice story but there was no fuel price drop in 1997, not in SA at least. Petrol was relatively stable at around R2.20 in 1997.

http://www.dme.gov.za/energy/history_petrol_price.stm

On May 15th, 2007 all internet users are asked to not go to a gas
station and pump fuel in protest of high fuel prices. Fuel is now over
R7.00 a litre in most places.

Really, I paid R6.79 on the 6th May 2007, the price is actually set and varies from R6.74 at the coast to R7.01 furtherest inland. http://www.dme.gov.za/energy/liquid_latest.stm

There are 73,000,000+ people currently on the internet
network, and the average car takes about R250 to R300 to fill up.

So when you log on to the internet you automatically get a car or do you need to have a car to log onto the internet.

According to NAAMSA there are an estimated 7million cars on SA roads.

If all users did not go to the pump on the 15th, it would take
$2,292,000,000.00 (that’s almost 3 BILLION) out of the oil companies
pockets for just one day, so please do not go to the fuel station on May
15th and lets try to put a dent in the middle eastern oil industry for
at least one day.

I don’t know about you but I certainly don’t fill-up car daily. For arguments sake let’s say you fill-up twice a week and your tank is a relatively standard 50litres @ R7 per litre thats R350 per fill or R700 per week, R2800 per month. Or roughly R100 daily. So if absolutely no-one filled up for one day that is roughly R700million.

The fact is 11,279million litres of petrol were consumed in SA in 2006 or 30.9million litres daily to a value of R216million.

BUT: One day of “inaction” cannot cause the change you are seeking, what you didn’t buy today you will have to get tomorrow and then ummmm as the petrol once again flows into your tank, your money flows into the oil companies banks and government coffers.

If you agree (and I can’t see why you wouldn’t) resend this to
everyone on your contact list with it saying ”Don’t pump fuel on May
15th”.

Take Action

  • Avoid unnecessary journeys/ Plan your journey
  • Service your car regularly
    Poor maintenance can significantly increase fuel consumption.
  • Check tyre pressure regularly
    Low tyre pressures increase vehicle “drag” and hence fuel consumption.
  • Drive smoothly.
    In the case of manual transmission vehicles change up as soon as engine speed and conditions allow.
  • Moderate your speed
    Fuel consumption increases significantly when driving at speeds over 100 km/hr
  • Reduce weight in the car by removing heavy items if you are not using them, e.g. roof-rack, etc.
  • Use only quality, clean fuels
    Use of contaminated fuels can result in fuel injection equipment deterioration and increased fuel consumption.
  • Avoid travelling during peak hours
    Optimum fuel economy is achieved during steady constant speed driving. Stop-start driving significantly increases fuel consumption.
  • Use air conditioning sparingly
  • Measure the fuel consumption of your vehicle and consider replacing your vehicle with a more modern, high technology, fuel efficient product.
  • Government controls the fuel price & we the people are “Government” speak up speak out.

The cheque’s in the mail!

What happens to money once it is transferred from my account and before it gets into your account?

Where does it go and why can transfers not happen instantaneously?

I would like the interest just on the money in transit around the globe.
