What if we could use brain power to trick itself to write down the processes it makes and the connections in the brain, noting it continuously on paper. We would be able to map out our mind and could discover who we really are and what goes on in our brains and therefore what controls us.

What can I say
It is tricky knowing how much to say, not wanting to give too much away, but also to get your thoughts and opinions across that are brewing or developing in your head. The next challenge is to say it out loud exactly how you’ve got it stored in your head; the replication of it exactly in the words how you have thought of it. Finally and probably most challenging and often I find the most useless part of the whole scenario is that you have to get the person or parties to understand these words in exactly the way you believe them, and want them to sound. This may never work as it is evident that everyone has different associations with words you say, and language in general. It could be true that two people could share the same associations with some words; however it is unlikely that these words would be many. Therefore the level of words importance, the type of emotion captured and the reaction and consequences can vary significantly between two people. For these reasons maybe talking out loud and off the top of your head are potentially very risky and bad ideas. Despite this, spontaneity does offer the advantages of quickness and it provides realism and genuineness to a scenario, where any long delay might signify editing or thinking too hard, which would in sinew some form of grading and competition or value system added to a conversation or series of thoughts, finally spontaneity means you haven’t got time to get muddled in your head and say the wrong words.
I don’t know what is better, to understand your own head, or your own words, as my head and words tell me different things. I keep having to rely on my brain and hope that my words and speech come back to me like some re-awakening volcano.
Don’t fret too much because by the time someone has understood your words another person who has translated them differently has forgotten the beginning parts and in all this time anyway the song has certainly moved on.

What time left?
What time have we left? Can we add a value to this time remaining? The value being a non monetary description of quality of life and well being. Should we be able to assume theoretically that no uncertainties or surprises we will meet in this time, entire predicability is planned / foreseen. With these factors in line a scenario will arise when we see as clearly as we look along the train tracks at nothing, that complete emptiness of any illness or a bad situation, leaves us stranded but happily stranded maybe completely remote from everyone else, lost in another world of beauty and fun, the elusive Utopia, a mythical Atlantis, mentally lost drifting through a Nirvana, Paradise forgotten. Can we then transmit this world of amazement we have glimpsed to another body a mind outside our own, where brain is built similar but does not follow our rules and paths, and must decide for itself. If transmission without loss in originator can be made to involve another on the journey, then they themselves, seemingly lost to certain chaotic and random futures aligned and divided into possible illnesses and bad situations, can flatten the mountains of complexity and troubles and start to build the tracks of their own nothingness / emptiness and look into a future direction of happiness where the value of the moment is understanding of the value of the time they have left.

Hypocrisy, War & Protest
It is not my business or care to create controversy. I try to keep away from political discussions, which quite unfortunately due to everyone’s belief that their opinion is the most important, seems only to stir up non-rational and unnecessary anger and hate in even the most usually calm and relaxed personalities, quite often out of nowhere at the drop of a hat. I am not bothered about this side of peoples personalities, which is boring, predictable and is not clever. So I must now go against my own rules and possibly cause controversy, tempting you to react as above, and bring anger and hate towards my name and this blog. You may ask why I would bother to do this, it doesn’t seem logical. The only explanation I have is that perhaps it is important sometimes that we should break our own rules, as the hypocritical is surely part of human nature. So here goes an article I wrote a while ago.
The Hypocrisy of todays world was no better illustrated than this Saturday 3rd Jan 2009. Israel has been bombing the Gaza Strip for over a week, trying to destroy the government and stop them firing rockets, over the border onto civilian settlements. So Hamas the government may be linked to terrorism and funded IRAN and SYRIA two countries both seen as axis of evil by the USA and Western governments. However as grown ups you should understand that by abusing your power over people less stronger than you, for this example kids, you are most probably creating a whole another problem in itself. Kids grow up, sometimes people never forget, like witnessing your parents and sisters and brother being blown up by laser targeted bombs or dying in the back of a school bus targeted by a suicide bomber. Wars should not be fought amongst the kids and family’s of this world, but among the men on battle grounds using respectable and honorable tactics where everyone is on a level playing field, such as sports like darts or touring car racing, where disputes would be decided by chance as in some football matches e.g. penalties, or by skill like a Maradona or Pelé goal, or in by a manoeuvre such as Nelsons at the battle of Trafalgar. The Hypocrisy is Israel bombing civilians, because Hamas is bombing their civilians, and Hamas to complain about it because they took on a better equipped and more superior country with a better army and better weapons. The other hypocrisy is that this war has just erupted and got all the worldly attention it may or not deserve, where as in the Congo, DRC, Zimbabwe, Chechnya, Darfur, Nigeria all these wars are forgotten, they are dropped, like they never existed. This is just my impression of what I notice, perhaps this is not the case, and I am wrong, but I feel it is the most disturbing aspect of our culture at the moment, this is worthy of a real protest. If we rate news stories on the number of dead then Israel or Hamas war wouldn’t get a shoe in.
What annoys me is the protest that happened all over the world in particular London, thousands of people turned out to support the over use of force by the Israelis on the Palestinians. Where are all the other protests for all the other genocides, Africa, China, Tibet, Indonesia, Iraq. I’m not against protests, I think they are very important, but please have some respect for the other stories you have kicked off the front pages. We are just all so selfish and believe our story or crisis is more important that another.
It is important to understand that I abhor all forms of violence and we should never condone any acts, no matter what the circumstances. It is unsophisticated, barbaric and intolerable that the Human race has risen from such basic animalistic levels to the achievements and levels of today, in such a short time period, but yet most people are still so pathetically feeble in mind and most notably just wrong in their beliefs that violence or the use of force will solve a situation or put things right. I don’t care for the counter arguments, they are all crap, I just wait patiently it seems with those of a few, but which I do hope is those of many for the awakening of most peoples minds to the clarity that the genocide of our own people is not right and never will be, no matter which government or organization, no matter in the name of any religion, no matter in the name of any ideal or any belief or misguided understanding.

Why Technology won't work
Technology has no:
Texture
Smell
Feeling
Warmth
It doesn't reflect any care or have any heart, and has no love, or will ever replace the truly human qualities we posses and create in life, naturally on canvasses, on paper, with an instrument in time and space. Which can be unique emotional and careful. Technology is not instantaneous there is a process for everything, there’s no spontaneity or mistakes, or interesting unusual combinations created by chance. Everything has to be thought of before and created. The revolution is coming and its not in government / religion or any major idea its in need and demand for human originality and interest. George Orwell was onto it and so am I.

Justify Religion
Why do we try to always find a way to justify religion? For so many to feel this way must make this inherently a human characteristic. Notably an evolutionary or biological scientific reason underlies the actual understanding of religion. So the very ideas inherent to religion that contradict the laws of science, are those themselves existing and the system of religion, on the basis of science. Therefore perhaps religion is the feedback and allows us to question our science; a sort of natural checking and doubting feature.

A sickness that infects
Like the sickness that infects our minds, the waves of innocence that flood our thoughts full of errors and mistakes and false information not sorted or understood, we end up seeing things we should not like or want to believe in, we come to a point of disturbance. At this end we see the resounding belief that we cannot control what shall happen, but only try to comprehend the consequences of our inevitable actions. In the revelation of such frailty and and insignificance it is easy to devalue our existence in favour of an all encompassing overall plan, but such thoughts are the double vision of a clear-less non-analytical fool, intent on converting a noble but less autonomous and fragile population to a rule, series of orders, bound by devotion and bullshit, there has never been a more un worthy and serious crime on such a large number.
It is better if we make our own decisions with out anyone else's misguided and deliberately deceitful and unhelpful guidance, we should work out the answers ourselves to reach our own understanding of our minds place in this strange world.

Originality
How did we make the first right angle? How did we make the first wooden plank, flat and straight? With out these initial discoveries and more, we don’t arrive at a product like the houses of today. So everything we live in or use today has evolved from a primitive form, initial discovery and therefore we are tied/connected to history, even the very modern. Not even the most abstract creation of today can exist with out the history of before.
Ponder this when you create something original and new. Unfortunately your originality is limited more than you know.
To truly reach a state of originality, not influenced by previous pasts and history. We could invent an idea, but this idea would need to not be created by us or known to us, so we must not make the idea, but imagine that if we did make one what this could possibly be, this difficult situation would be represented by what we know and this would be imagined in our world images and ideas, but it is not to be associated with any of these ideas or images, we merely use them as a facsimile for pure construct, but the new things are non existent shapes. This imagined idea, would take the form of a world, and on it would shape our very original thought using the very things we wish there to be there, but can not vision, only are able to imagine the idea. Here our seeded idea and originality would take shape and be truly safe until the start of its very existence, as soon as we make the possibility of it in the world we have lost its originality, but we can at least say we put it into existence as original thought, it would not keep its originality as by making it we create the start of the history and then for all future it is the key, with all that arrives from this time onwards would be related to it.

Clothes
Every day getting dressed, women and men, choose outfit to benefit others. Probability that some will like the outfit and others will not. Each person must take a chance every day they get it right because a series of possibilities later could result in spectacular rewards. Not saying that an error of clothing judgement one day will necessarily damage your later life possibilities and reality, but it might do. Never has choosing an outfit in the morning been so critical. The reality is if you spend an hour every day of your life getting your clothes right, this equates to about 2.5 years.
So you have to spend some time getting ready, if you can make it in 30 mins but still achieve the same results you could be spending 1 year 3 months more on eating breakfast and not skipping an important meal, unfortunately if this seems like an necessarily extra cost fear not (total for this would be £8581 based on if you eat on average a croissant and banana and some juice, 5478 meals, at £1.3 per meal considering croissant £0.5, banana £0.3, juice £0.5, accounting for inflation rate mean of historical 200 years of data 1800-2000, of 2.39%) because it depends on whether you intend to increase you daily calorie input. If we consider to keep calorie input the same by reducing eating quantity at lunch and dinner, having three balanced meals this way the cost of eating breakfast can in fact be seen as zero net increase in cost. So in this way there are no financial costs with taking a little breakfast and reducing your dressing time.
What if we say that every extra minute after 30 minutes gives you no extra chance of a positive reward for the time spent on getting dressed, and also having breakfast can put your mind into a mode of relaxation before you venture out into the visible world, there by giving your self conscious less to worry about, keeping any thoughts of your personal reflective vision in a distant world, where entrances into momentarily reflective reality are blocked by the current state you have occupied.
How much does your life mean to be overly worried about the dress / suit? If the log curve is dipping any way so does our preparation not dip and our mind wander? I am talking about efficiency here, I am not implying strict timekeeping measures. For sure one day you will be so nervous getting ready for your first date, have an interview, or that important dinner, that you should possibly consider taking a break, sitting down and taking that extra 30 minutes, certainly don’t have breakfast before a dinner, but the morning is still a good idea, certainly don’t fast all day. Come dinner all you’ll want to do is engorge in what I am sure you can imagine is not attractive or particularly sensible reward seeking fashion. Getting dressed in the evening for a second time in a day is not counted in my argument, but please understand that I am not against extra preparation sometimes. I am no fascist dresser, it is not a bad thing to spend your time, but it could be a hinderance in your life, even a disadvantage. Not to mention you could miss out on the biggest prize because your mind is not aware only your image to this world. In the end of the day (or should I say beginning) both your appearance and your state of the mind are important, but the later becomes more so in a world full of copiers and clones.

Do we matter?
I am waiting for a miracle to happen, but i’m not sure which way to look.
If I have no idea what it is going to be, and no idea from which direction it comes, then I may miss it all together. You can then say it never happened, it did not exist because no one witnessed it, but this is not true. For science to be correct it doesn’t have to be witnessed, even replicated or proved, but merely suggested in an assertive way and be backed up with lots of reason. If humans did not exist, would science not still continue?

Her gaze
I leave the place but will be coming back.
She looks at me with a gaze I’ve never seen before.
The complexion of face and colour of her eyes unspoilt.
What messages and meaning passed between us in that split moment?
I think that a gaze like this could last an infinite time. There is a split second of infinite possibilities. It’s like looking through a black hole and suddenly seeing where everything goes, the world behind this nothingness, and its beautiful as your mind can possibly imagine.
You pass through the eye journeying deeper on your quest. You’re searching as a bird migrates, in a general direction that you’re 100% certain of, its somewhere in this sea, this expanse of newness and vastness, a blinding light warmth absorbs through your every body and now your swimming. Ahead it is resting there ashore, the white beach approaches and for a split second you see a faint image walking through the surf, it’s you disappearing into the dense jungle. The waves lap the shore but you drift and float gently away, as stars sparkle and joy and energy feels all your senses. Suddenly speed pulls faster than you can resist and you know you were close to a magnificent discovery. Now you are desperate to find out what lives there undiscovered. Impatience and a burning passion fills your body in waves of chemically charged particles and vibrations. Was that you entering, a different person all together or just your imagination?
Not yet you tell yourself but not long before you will journey back. The gaze drops, time restarts, humanity the universe can breath again, cue the sighs. I smile. She smiles. Can I do it? She acknowledges that here is the possibility of a real champion, a suitor of consequence, a challenger, to take on the adventure and at last succeed.
