Calmness

by Instructor Stephan Pacheco

Who grants peace: You do, no one else can give it to you.

What we seek: Emptiness, Stillness, Peace.

When do we seek it: Now, always now, always in the instant, constantly. Why: Through the pursuit of emptiness we can bypass the illusions of the mind that distract us from truth. Meaning, we gain the ability to turn off the psychological defenses that we use to seek approval, comfort and control.

Note: Any disturbance or discomfort we feel is the root of something negative (like insecurity, fear, anger, hatred, loneliness, etc.) within ourselves, not "bad", but negative to our perfect lives. From a point of silence we can learn to guard our minds and ease the suffering we bring to others and ourselves through the negative use of the wanting ego. How to: (In a group it is easier to utilize spiritual energy, because it is naturally shared among the participators. Plus, people naturally want to adapt to their surroundings.) We focus inwards. We remove the focus of consciousness from the forehead and eyeball area. It is good to rest the focus into the stomach, but avoid applying pressure to the physical system; meaning, keep it light, the spiritual consciousness is light energy, it does not require force, it is relaxed. Focus on stillness. If a thought arises, perhaps this is a sign to go deeper. More still. Present. If one feels despair or anxiety, perhaps this is a sign to feel the emotion, do not think of it, feel it and let it dissolve. Let it lead you deeper as you relax it. We can also direct our minds within this meditation, because we have separated ourselves from the mind and are now more able to control it, so, we can utilize the technique of the Inner Smile. The Inner Smile is a sense of happiness that we can draw across the void of nothingness/stillness that we are seeking. We must focus on our body as an empty shell. More and more empty. More and more into the void. Trusting all along that there is no danger in doing this. Focus more and more that the world around us is an illusion, and we are an empty shell within the illusion. We know that we are doing this correctly because our tension will become less and our sinuses will clear. What this does for us: Brings us peace, and lets us stop making war with others to prove that we are right and that we are in control. We are able to not fear losing control. And when we are very still we can see that all around us is the same stillness from within ourselves, it is simply masked by the hectic ego that fears. Note: If you feel yourself becoming sleepy, open your eyes a third of the way and look to the tip of your nose or at a random point in the space in front of you. Do not look at an object. Or, focus more deeply on the empty shell and energy should enter your body. One should not feel sleepy if this is done correctly.

Abortion

By Philosopher Stephan Pacheco

An unborn child is a consciousness, a consciousness with no reflex to survive. An unborn fetus will not flinch or defend itself. No lone consciousness fears death. To be human you realize that the world can hurt you. Kill you. And soon you realize what you think you can lose. To be alive you have to know that the world can and will hurt you. If you never enter into the world you won't know about survival, and so it is fine to free that consciousness. It will go somewhere else. And all people that have had near death experiences know that once you are dead there is instantly no more fear. And a consciousness will not know fear in that brief embodiment. And now there is a recyclable use for abortions; i.e. stem cells. Recycling is always good in this world that produces waste just by existing. Those that support a ban on abortion only fear the loss of their own lives. They only do not understand what the soul is, that's why they'll fight so hard to keep you from seeing their lack of faith. Because they can't believe what they're saying. And in every pressure against their beliefs "believers" either collapse in screaming desperation or murder to keep proving that they are right. Their Pride is strong. People cave into them because the illness of habitual insecurity when embodied is so disturbing to see. The extremes are the signs of not being able to accept death. We are not entitled to live, we only can. Life is not eternal. And the fear these particular human's have that makes them attempt to run from death at every turn has made an oppressive society that is being criticized out of the Right to Reason. By the time I run for office you'll know where I stand. And you'll be able to see the Reasons for my actions are better than the Reasons of any opponent I have, and I'd tell you if my opponent's were better. I am not addicted to any image of what I want you to see me as. You'll be able to trust me. And I won't have anything to gain from you. Look at what we are doing? A movement swings forth. May we be free of Puritans' oppression. We are all going to feel better.

To my Courageous HumanKind,

The Deserving

Escaping Heaven and Hell and War

By Philosopher Stephan Pacheco

The Deserving worked so hard and wanted so much. They sold out to please anyone that could help them have more. They feel that they have suffered immensely. They know what they deserve and will always want and try for more. Deserving is the backbone of our Great Dark Society. They feel that life is full of so much suffering that they will sacrifice their living souls at work, away from their loved ones, to keep a barrier between them and life and the truth of their non-permanence on Earth. The mindset of the Deserving is developed through their religions. They justify everything in the name of God. They use the name of God to prove that their decisions are correct and all others are wrong. It makes them fight hard, this lie. They control many organizations that control the Free People of a Dark Society. This is what Pride does. It seeks power. This is what came from the Dark Ages. This is what was shipped to this occupied piece of unowned land in Puritan boats. They believe that they deserve so greatly that they even created a false heaven where they are superior and have every want fulfilled. Those that walk in Darkness that cannot see past their own fear to see what they actually are will never have what they think they deserve. They will not. They will always want more, this is the nature of want. They will die and be forced into the equality of existence that lives beyond a physical world. All their rank, and their place, and their worshiped societies, and their salaries, their enslavement of others, and the achievements of their children will be lost. This is a false world. The world they created in their own selfish, genocidal, comfort seeking, authority presuming oppression will end in death. And, it is my belief (based on research!), that since the deserving were so attached to this world with pride, since they justified it so much, clung to it with such unknown fear, they will return again and again, and never stop that suffering they are running from. They will give to much credit to the nightmare and not be able to fully awake. The Deserving will never know heaven and they will never know peace, or freedom. Nor will they see the irony of obtaining what they truly deserve from turning their backs on those that suffer around them. This arrogance, the cruelty and blindness that fits so well into this selfishly styled society lets a person know that the murderer deserved his execution. This supremacist attitude builds vengeance easily into its fear of not having control or a feeling of threat. It refuses to have compassion. It refuses to have tolerance. It creates huge penalties for defying its holy law. With the loss of compassion and tolerance with the rise of deserving and needing what they have, a free society faded quickly from the horizon, as friends leave friends that are trying much harder than them to change the suffering...they let them fall. Every light fades in the darkness that envelops the true sins of life, veiled by a shaky belief in personal salvation. They believe you deserve to die, if you didn't give away your life like they did, so long as they don't have to see it with their glazed over eyes. They say fade, for you didn't buy your right to exist. Our right to exist lies in the fact that we do exist, it is inherent to life. Not all of us are cowards willing to be slaves, willing to assume the place of judgment and authoritative opinion. So willing to sell our time and everything we claim to care about that we create a "good" reason for it. Maybe, "It's my job...", or some other basting pride. Or some other justification for superiority. Religion uses the accusation of "sin" to mask its own sin. This "sin" is what it has repressed with shame and what it naturally becomes addicted to, because we become addicted to that we repress. It is there constantly, trying to be controlled and forced back down. It is never surfaced and released. We are stuck with it, because we lack the courage to face it. Thus lies the unfortunate mostly uncontrollable obsessions that fall upon the presence of alter boys. The "religious", all religious from all religions, have placed themselves at a point of arrogance so great (because they believe they are the "chosen ones") that they have ceased to evolve. It is within every religion with a Heaven and a Hell and a penalty for not believing that insinuates that man's system carries on even into death. This dysfunctional system of abuse and stature does not carry on into death. No matter what people believe, it does not change the Truth. But they will not listen to outside opinion. False "faith" blinds them, as a result, they lose the ability to listen. Evolution occurs when many minds with many views come about, especially the humble minds, those that can hear the whispers of the holy spirit. The humble are the hardest to hear and understand. But the "religious" will crush every view because it is different. Because the religious believe they are right. They must believe they are right. And everything they have ever done is right. And it is sanctioned by GOD. The ultimate in justification to pursue greedy self satisfaction. It is the worship of the ego, Pride, utter Blackness, it has nothing to do with the spirit. It justifies all cruelty and all gain and they think it is forgiven at confession...Let the Dark Age philosophy go. No religion with a Heaven or Hell should be followed. It is false. The mere fact that there are so many proves it has been used for power. And we have nothing to fear, especially with the death of the supremacist deserving mind that cannot follow us into our own demise. The only to way to escape another world war that pits all people that think they are right against all other people that think they are right or escape yet another American genocide on a Free People is to change yourself. We reach towards silence in meditation so that we can see that we are not this mind. It is malleable. And from the point of silence, with our defenses for survival hushed, with no need for glorification, we see the similarity of all people in the equality of the present soul. This is the root of Compassion. This is how your enemy is your friend. This is the pathway to Freedom and the fading of the supremacist mindset that causes all war. This is the technology of spirituality and Existential Psychology. This is the way to peace without power.

To my America,

The 1960's, 70's, and 80's and the Result: Generation “whY?”

By Philosopher Stephan Pacheco

It is true that we pose a revolution against the Initial Reaction, to calm the instinct of fear; that which establishes power in an attempt to survive and against fake meaning, which is any meaning that falls into cynicism at the waning of life. Our great advantage over what those of the 1960's began to establish and quickly dilute, (dilute because they thought everyone had the answer, but that made the answer selfish,) is that we believe in Capitalism and what our minds may be able to manifest in it. This is the influence of the free West Coast where we are going to be applying Compassion amongst Capitalism in a clear attempt to more freely and easefully apply what regulations are placed on us in the concern of scientific Public Safety. We are a Generation that has been born into a series of screaming sides. Blacks, Whites, Moms, Dads, Gays, Insecure, Establishing, Children, Brothers, Grandfathers, Mattering, With Money, Without Money, Control against Freedom, Debt and Value, Owing, Imagining Sensations through False “permanent” Realities, Forcing, and Easing...and it will be fading into the background...dissolving to nothing; a note to us of what we may consider. We see the blasphemous and the non-blasphemous dying in the same way, with a familiar and equalizing despair. None of them sure where their souls are. No side worth choosing. No fake Pride worth having. Since inferiority fought to matter while losing itself to dissent and pride, sharpened by the reasons of the concept of “winning”, well we see the equality of the nastiness that everyone hides behind a smile, and we establish ways to not lose the true prize of the revolt, our own Spirits. And we see that the reason for love to not break was love standing against it. And we see the reasons that turned to hate, blasted far behind by love, before the cause became serious, before impending death made life seem dire. And we will have the sympathy of everyone who succeeded financially but failed morally by becoming what they hate; the generations just behind us. We attempt to deny what people think is undeniable and that it is a matter of time that the view becomes tiny and dark. We shall not be burdened by the continuous thought patterns that must re-justify hate, to keep it, to have it and think it constantly to keep the cause, and thus become it, and thus becoming what is hated. The path towards becoming part of the inevitable war will be over for us. As we keep contact with those that we have seen without the veil of survival, those from the past, kept with us by technology's massive web. We will survive in a Beautiful World because it is ours to Become; changing ourselves, before we change the world. We are the Generation that considered its vast application. And if what is offered is a trap, then keep it. We'll come around, as all that sought control die. Using the old methods of damnation and salvation, society: dead or alive, will die. Because we won't take it. We have proven it by the attempt of who was here first to manipulate us into lifelong slavery and servitude by over increasing Real Estate prices. Humans using us. We are a generation hardly afraid of suicide, but we fully understand its irrelevancy and lack of will to reason, and often, we are well aware of what we can take and where the limits of our lives are. We will beat the shame that the others could not, because reasoning against what it is here is a waste of time, when we simply don't need it. Reasoning for what is about to break and break free, from ourselves, and so resolvable in the instant that makes sense. We break free from the minds of the past, but maintain the strength of what our Grandfathers bled for and were forced to protect from other people's children, and refute the sensation that they deservedly felt when many ideas, and many young people took their Freedom away from them, by believing in themselves. Well, we have seen them rise to equality and try to convince us that there is some kind of difference in what we clearly know is all the same. This is the path to Freedom, Compassion and Success. We simply choose to have the principals in the plan of our lives and we simply integrate our plan with people we can create with. If you are looking at what people felt and did and how it built us in other times, you are missing out on the time you are in. Gently approach the line of society and peer far across it, until in the mist breaks the image of yourself, still untouched by it, still the hub of the reason that moved you to simply live.

Uncovering the OverMan

A Ballad in Prose

by Philosopher Stephan Pacheco

Introduction to the Father's book, as transmitted by the Priest,

Existing, A Present Solution Book 3 in the Holy Series.

The OverMan has overcome all doubt. He acts when he wishes and never when someone wants him to. He acts without fear of persecution and persecutes no one, but those that persecute. His mind does not strive for power. He is 100% complete from the moment of birth. His image is unimportant, he is what he dreams to be and doesn't need to be anything else. He does not think of these things. He is these things and these words are only figurative illusions that the non-OverMan will think he understands, but will not. The OverMan will not read this. And if he does he will laugh at it. Or smile at it. Because happiness is his nature, even in despair. This cannot be understood by one that is not an OverMan. He will not be concerned that he is a she, he is not so insecure. He will not think it is sexist to call it an OverMan and not an OverWoman. He or she is over the concept of Man and any insecurity triggering a reaction to it. He does not need to have pride for anything. He is calm. He is free from all of it. His life is real, fleeting, and constant. If you try to tell him to be something else, he is free to destroy you, or let himself be destroyed. He can choose anything at all times. Want does not control him so he can want anything or not want anything. He is controlled by no psychosis. He is free. He is still calm, even if you are charging at him. He is not controlled by fear. He is not controlled by rage, but he can have it, but it is not real. He knows this. That every emotion he has he can let go or manifest further, or forget about. He needs to cling to nothing. He is changing and is free to. Regardless of what anything thinks he should be. He is not controlled by words of power, like duty, or taking orders, or faith or damnation or salvation. He does not need to believe in anything. He is present, that he knows. For every discomfort that may have been programmed into his mind or his genetic code, he has faced it, he has quelled it, he did not run from it or believe it was what he was, and he never felt guilty of bad about it, but he knew he could get rid of it, and sometimes he did. He knows that he is not this mind, this body. Because of this he can be anything. He is unowned, even in shackles. At any time he can fight and die or live. He holds no grudge against circumstance, even if that circumstance is deliberately caused by someone else, for the weak minds of those that surround the OverMan are circumstantial, unlike the ever flowing mind the OverMan uses to think with. He can have a hundred thoughts or no thoughts at all. He is in control of his mind, because he is not afraid of losing control of his mind. The OverMan realizes he exists with or without his mind. He seeks no power and no control, he has no fear so he does not need the vices of weaker men that fear their own inferiority. He will not coddle or praise, you must already be at peace to truly befriend him. He will not cotter to those that need him, he likes what needs nothing, and appreciates it, and still he will always help until you have proven your selfishness, and still he can choose to. He can think for all HumanKind, or he can survive, and have no regret to doing either. He can be sad, he can be happy, he can be angry, and he is none of these things. These are only things he is doing, like burping or smelling. He realizes in his wisdom that he must do, but also that he doesn't have to do anything. He has had every thought for something, and every thought against it, and so, when he is confronted with fearful doubt from weaker minds he is free to not be affected by what someone else has pridefully thought had to be right because they thought it. The OverMan sees through the reasons people create to manipulate other people. He does not need to be right. He does not need to be told he is right. He is always neither right nor wrong. He is. It is unimportant what that may or may not be, but it will always be greater than what you are. He knows this without pride. It is as circumstantial as the wind or the rain, and just as vital. You can not please him, he does not need to be pleased. You can disappoint him, but he does not need to remember you for it. He will not tolerate hypocrisy unless he knows it's not important to you what you are, but you had to have considered it. He respects only what doesn't need an image. Only the OverMan can understand his glory and his irrelevancy. He sees through every mind at once because he doesn't have to cling to any. He can know you in an instant, hear your thoughts, your fears and your wants from him, because his mind is that open. He can be a part of any group or reject everyone. He does not join, but he can be joined, and still not above belonging. He can believe in himself, always knowing that what he is will never stay the same. And he is free to let himself change. He is free to never need to remember what he was, although he can. And if the OverMan forgets you, he will be happy to know that you are fine with that. He does not need to please. The OverMan is always free and will always be stronger than everyone that seeks strength. He is immovable and he moves freely, unaffected by the doubts and hopes and fears of those that walk or yell near or at him. He is unimprisonable. He is rarely impressed, but can be by those that have faced what he has. He knows how hard it can be. He is Over and Beyond everything you could hope and dream for. He is everything you really want to be, and the only thing that can be and be and be. He is the permanence that those that seek permanence, that try to hang on, will never be. He needs nothing, and will not be corrupted or arrogant by having everything. He is how Freedom defines itself if Freedom wanted an embodiment, which it doesn't. The OverMan will appear to be a contradiction to anyone that needs to be something. He never uses pride. He is freed from all sin and any sense or condition of damnation. You can't hurt him, but he can cry. Just as he is free from heaven or any condition or reward of approval. Everything is equal, just as he realizes the true nature of the only real reality is, which just happens to be, his own. He uncovered the truth of what he really is. He uncovered the OverMan that he had always been. Without doubt the OverMan whether alive or dead or dying or killing or ending or beginning himself he will continue to be that, and it will not matter if he is not. And yet this definition is incomplete just as his unfolding life is. He is finished, but will never stop beginning. And he is free to know passion and free to love deeply. Because he is not afraid of his own vulnerability or losing what he has because he knows he can never really own anything. He does not have to appear strong or great, even though he is. He cannot be programmed. He cannot be warped. And the weak will resent him for it, because it means they cannot be strong, and they will doubt their own greatness. He sees the truth beyond manipulation. He sees how the weak try to change people to justify their own reasons for greed, for power, to feel good about their crap. Though he can have he has been without, and needs nothing, not even life, that which you manipulate for. He does not need to be justified. He is the cure to suffering. The cure to oppression. It is the duty of all people to cure it in themselves. If happiness is the goal of all human life, this is the way towards it, unaffected by resentment or judgment. He does not reason towards his OverMan ways, he explains what he has become by telling you what he has always been. He is the confidence that others use faith to fake. He will not join you because your cause is the same as all others, and so he may fight against you, and others alongside him, but choice must be individual not a mob's. The OverMan is individual and unpredictable by any way of defunct science or fake religion. He has overcome the reigns of pattern. He cannot be stopped, and so this is his beauty. As he creates he realizes its naturalness, because it is the spring he as uncovered for anyone to taste. Though few will, all can become him. That is why he came. That is why he gave birth to himself. Unaffected by opinion, his hand is always open, and when you take the fruit and scurry backwards, you will see that he has not hurt you and fearlessness will lead to his love, though he will tell you not to love him. He expects a positive response and is sad when you give him selfishness, but he is forgiving when you just show him true kindness without expectation of gain. The OverMan sees that the weak minds of the doubting people will believe in anything that they are told, so long as it is laced with the hope of winning. The OverMan does not need hope. He is hope. He is telling you that no one needs to be saved, so there is no one that you must worship. or follow, or pay, or kill for. The OverMan is constantly at peace, even when his body chooses to survive and prolong his current situation with the release of reflex and adrenaline. He has never been a coward, although he has lost, and he may lose again, and he may choose not to fight. He can love within his striking rage, he is not trapped by the doubts of duality. And as he does, he knows the simple enormity of all that lives and dies and exists and ceases. Everything that may damage you, does not damage him, though it can make him see beyond his own reason and possibly consider something new, this is why the OverMan has sympathy for your weakness instead of malice, and also why he will not tolerate it near him. His time is precious, and short, and usable, and his own and it cannot be had or purchased or taken or apologized for. The OverMan does not think or dream that he will be great like a god, he is beyond such want, and wouldn't waste his mind for something so dying. He is himself. And his echoes ring across lifetimes in the trickling impact past to generations that may know humility and strength without the need for power. What Nietzsche predicted, what Shaw knew, exists now. The path has been uncovered and beneath it was the steady truth. And Freedom for all of HumanKind. www.LibertyCore.org

How to Plan an Effective School Shooting

by Philosopher Stephan Pacheco

Dedicated to the Angry and the Rageful

When planning a school shooting we must consider some very important things. Who is our enemy? If you are having thoughts about a school shooting you are obviously intelligent. You see that you do not want to be ingenuine. You do not want to be a person of false image, hiding your weakness. And most importantly you have risen in courage, pushing yourself beyond the fear of consequence and death. You have let go of much. You choose to stop those that have assumed power. Assumed it only because life has been easy for them. They have feared not having what they have, security and comfort, so much that they have condemned you. Damned you. Taken away your right to have an opportunity because they were so afraid of not having their own. Their fear has created a mindset that would make you its employee, its slave, so that you serve it. They want to matter. And you are disgusted because you don't matter. You would do anything to matter, to matter like they do. You would do anything to prove to them that they don't matter. You will use the means that are available to you, just as they have. Both of you driven by the same fear of being insignificant. You want the same thing your enemy wants. In truth, you want power. You want Pride. In truth, now look deep, you want to be everything you hate. You want to be them, safe and stupid. You have seen far, and your rage is a sign of it. You hate power. Do not become it. Not for them, not for me, not even for you. Do not become it for the cause. The cause to not become what you hate. The cause to no longer be afraid of not mattering. Why do you need to matter to the ignorant? Recognize it. Recognize the fact that the anger that quells up in you is the same anger that they persecute everyone different than them with. To have the arrogance to judge, to take a life, to imprison a life, is the height of it. Please calm yourself. Calm your raging ego. For when you clash with rage and hate and brave war against insurmountable odds, odds you know you will not return from, you only raise more fear, more ego, more condemnation against all that see that this image towards power and superiority is false. You are not alone. Your mind is strong, it sees what the truly fearful won't let themselves see. They won't let themselves see that they are meaningless. Accept that you are meaningless and begin the true war. A war against the enemy that so easily becomes like them, those that sought power from fear. A war against yourself. A war to stop actual suffering. A series of battles in your own head, against the thoughts that control you with anger, that damn you, for the belief in a simple Reason. Stop needing a response from others to justify yourself. Don't you think that they, your enemy, have a Reason? A defining point that makes them think the way they do. Of course. It is the same as your Reason. You are not alone. You are full of fear beneath rage. Fear is always beneath anger and rage and judgment. Always. The only way to win the war is to stop the war from ever happening. To cure yourself from the disease that makes everyone around them suffer. The disease of the controlling parent, the manipulator of the image. The war against the self-righteous can warp you into blindness, and it will not save us. It damns us all. Blazing guns breed the ego. Disarm it. When you begin to calm yourself you must proceed with caution. Gently. Gently to disarm your rage, never forcing, never repressing, never being ashamed of your justified thoughts, or your ego will rebel against you, in you, in your own head, and you will become more and more like your enemy. Your ego will rebel against you just as other egos in other people rebel against you when you fight against them. Let it fall away, all of it, see what exists when nothing has to be anything. There is freedom in not wanting to be diseased. Be free from their mind of suffering. Free everyone around you from the fury of your own arrogance. Do not replace their's with yours. Give up, and then keep living. We need people that have seen this far. We need people that got over their own minds. We need people that have found peace beyond the rage that traps us all in justification. Do not rebel by being like the enemy that assumes authority over you with their views that they believe are facts. Overcome your own facts. And have compassion for the suffering that spins their cruel minds into believing they have the right to judge you and that their judgment moves even beyond the bonds of life. It does not. There is no Hell waiting for any of us. There is only the freedom of being without a body and a mind that needs to survive and do any matter of cruel things to make it happen. Do not be so concerned with its loss. When you are existing without the body you will laugh at how seriously everyone has taken this life. If you can realize that you are not this body and this mind and that you will surely be without it one day soon, then you can let go of what you believe defines it. Your rage, your hate. And you can be freed. And by example, and by the passage of time, our revolution will be a true success, because those that have will see the real way to appreciate everything they are trying to hang on to in their fury of living that makes them ignore it. Open the heart friends, it is a harder way. Turn away from the Pride that weighs on you. Do not drink from their Pride, from their cup of want. It will only make you thirstier. More insight on our human condition can be found at www.libertycore.org, including a Meditation Manual that can give you access to a cure for the physical world's damnation. Also, seek knowledge in the upcoming book, The Girl, A Journey in Memories through the Self. This book can be pre-ordered at www.libertycore.org too. Take care friends, and go further than the second level of enlightenment, the surface of rage. Enter into the true war, against becoming what you don't want to be. This is a war against all power, especially your own. All Reasons can be justified, all reasons are to protect your living body and place it into superiority in whatever way is available to you, so you must not have so much avarice faith in your justifications. Do not seek a Place to be, just exist where you are and gently move forward towards the change that occurs as you become more by being free from yourself. Change yourself and the world around you will change naturally. Become what you want your enemy to be. This is a real battle. This is a true victory. There is wisdom beyond your intelligence.

To my America,

The Betrayal of Martin Luther King Jr.

By Philosopher Stephan Pacheco

The majority of what has become known as the all encompassing "Black culture" grows more and more deeply into the roots of American culture. The Black culture gains strength, power and pride. Meaning, the Black culture is getting money. The Black culture is earning its reparations that people they never knew suffered for. Money is power. Power is money. Greed and Lust cares nothing for color. The sins of man, meaning desire, are accessible to everyone. I do believe that the drive to succeed, to have power, will make the black man the predominant power on this planet. (This is also a prediction from the Healer Nostradamus, not that that matters, or that it is relevant, it's just interesting that a 16th century psychic, in the time of slavery, said that.) This drive comes forth due to the expansive ego and willingness to do what is necessary to have power. Want absorbs the people of the United States. It divides us. It creates one man above another. Anger. Fear. False information. It consumes us. The willingness to profit from our color segregates us more and more. The mood to pursue power escalates because black entertainment pushes the idea that whites hate blacks, and blacks hate whites. The idea is marketed to the masses; in my experience it is a lie. Most black people and most white people and most anyone else don't care. Most do not care about color or culture. Most have no reason to waste their time on it. Persecutions are not something that blacks suffer. That is fully ignorant and fully ingrained in the lies of the black entertainer that profit from the idea. It is the Poor that suffer. It is the Poor that the wealthy use to propel their fortunes. And let me fully assure you that poverty doesn't care about the lies of color either. What is marketed as the “Black culture" has betrayed Martin Luther King Jr. because we are not walking hand in hand, love for love like we should be, equal and caring. Spite and foolish pride attempt to push one person, or group of people ahead of another. Power is what the visible Black culture seeks. It seeks to be the master that it fought to forget. Too many Black people want superiority not Equality. Conquest and Power. To hustle for validity. To be important. But, just like White people, the British descendants, not actually White People, are just the same; the visible ones seek the Power. We must notice the humble kindness of what’s invisible in this Full Culture. It has to stop. There is no holiness in the pursuit. There is only a betrayal of golden icons that have been glorified and warped beyond what they should have ever meant. Martin Luther King would not win the battle to persuade love today. He did not win it while he lived. The Black Panthers won. The Black Supremacist side of the Muslims won. The Neo Nazis won. Malcolm X won. The warped Catholics won. Hate and power won, because they are easy to follow. And the corporations use whoever is winning to perpetuate their money. They don't care who is winning, they will pay the winners for their momentary endorsement in an ad. It is fine if you don't want to follow Dr. King, but don't pretend to, just because you think you have to because of the color of your skin. And don't use his ideals to betray his philosophy of love and absolute Equality by assuming power over others. Know what he stood for before you quote him.

To My Courageous HumanKind,

Why Buddhist Monks Don't Dream

By Philosopher Stephan Pacheco

In meditation I have been instructed to "be", Be "present", and to "Silence the Mind". To many people throughout the world and especially in the United States silencing the mind seems very difficult. I have heard from many intelligent, yet ignorant, people, "I don't think I could ever silence my mind." I have often found that I have had countless, constantly spawning thoughts and also music arise and fall in my mind while attempting to harness silence, and this is very common. It is not easy at first, but it is simple in the actual doing of it. These ideas and techniques of this simple meditation are presented so abstractly that people's minds become stunned at the shear impossibility of attempting this silence. These objections to silence are made even harder by the many ways the mind's imagination can present fears of non-existence, and no-thought. It is in the complexity of the teaching, the mind's initial understanding and the abstractness that the absolute simplicity of what we are attempting to do is lost. I have had many teachers that declare many types and sources of bliss that can be reached through mediation. However, I have learned the majority of bliss is a manifestation of the mind, the very part of the mind that one is attempting to silence. The very part of the mind that is expelling energy for the creation of words for this very article. The exact part of the mind that I hear inside my head reading over what I have written. One of the reasons I have pursued meditation so diligently is because my mind, my imagination, my third eye as the Easterners call it, is highly overactive, far more active than most people's. It makes me very creative, but it can be difficult to deal with, especially if I thought it was real or important. Fortunately, when I had a near death experience at the age of fourteen and all thought and illusion vanished from me I lost the illusion of my mind's own importance. Although my image producing area of my brain is more active than most, all minds are trapped by this production of illusions and hallucinations. It is because of this common loss into the imagination by many spiritualists that I have often been forced not to follow gurus with direct and unwavering faith. I have carried out most of my research into meditation myself. While sleeping, I have recently found myself experiencing moments of full consciousness and I am completely aware of the normal passage of seconds and minutes and of the exact position of my body. The first time I experienced this I was not sure how it happened. It happened instantly when my mind and body converted to the sleeping mode. I thought to myself, very clearly, "Am I asleep? I can feel pressure on my arms. That's right, I am laying on my arms, on my stomach," I pulled on my arms and thought, "I cannot move them. I am asleep." I knew exactly how I was positioned in sleep. I have been able to lay perfectly still while sleeping for several years, since the age of about fourteen; a self training so I wouldn't roll off cliffs when camping, so perhaps subconsciously I have always been aware of my exact position. But this was certainly different, this was very conscious. I have learned to observe my body with precision and detail using my mind. It is something that I have been practicing for many years. Transferring my consciousness out of the eyes, out of the imagination point (The Third Eye) and down and throughout my body. Paying close attention to what each individual area of my person was feeling like in whatever position I happened to be in. I believe that this has aided my new discovery. It is a technique one can learn through the study of stillness and silence. These two words "stillness" and "silence" are both part of the same technique, meditation itself. While in this state of conscious sleeping, I don't think I can over emphasize the point, that my thoughts were as if I were completely awake. I heard the voice in my head thinking of the position of my body, reasoning out the sensations and pressures I could feel on certain parts of my body, i.e. my arms. At this point, I realized that I was fully capable of thinking, and then a dream started. I stopped it. I made it whatever I wanted. It was as simple as imagining it. From time to time, throughout my initial experience in this dream state I lost control of the dream, I lost control of my observing consciousness, and a normal dream would happen. In dreams that I have been in trouble in, for quite awhile, I instantly pull myself from them. I am instantly aware that I am in an illusion. And I have the option to awake. My eyes can be forced open. It is always hard to force them open. The weight of sleep is very heavy. But it can be done. When I was younger. Much younger. A boy. I could notice I was asleep in a nightmare, but I could not leave the hallucination of dreaming. But I could scream. I would scream so loud in the dream that the sound would stop. And my body would know that I could wake up. I would trick my mind, because it knew that I should be screaming, and it would realize the illusion. And then I would pry my eyes open, or force myself to sit up. While I am coming down from major hallucinogenics, such as alcohol, I have often found my third eye out of control. It can be vicious and cruel. My imagination is very powerful. My imagination used to be able to force the exact thought that I did not want to have into my brain, this happened because I was focusing too greatly on not having the thought that I naturally thought it. When I first began smoking marijuana I would get lost to the imagination and experience "bad trips". But these "bad trips" were only my mind trying to figure out complex philosophies that I have always studied. By using the drugs, the pursuit of these philosophies could become much more visual and challenging. It is because of this reaction I have that I smoke marijuana today. It is an essential part of my meditation. However essential it is not necessary and most people would find themselves becoming more lost to illusion by using drugs, at least this is true to what I have observed. It is enjoyable to reach silence while in the current of hallucinogenics. It has often times drove me deeper into my physical and spiritual consciousness. While returning to my normal, sober state I can find it very difficult to sleep. My mind simply won't shut up. So, I begin to meditate. It was in a circumstance like this that I discovered why I could control my dreams. Before I simply did it. The first time I basically stumbled into the experience. I was not sure why. I have often heard that Buddhist monks don't dream, but I could not figure out why. I thought it was the silence of their minds, and indeed it is the silence of the mind, but more specifically than was ever explained to me. I have often heard "silence your mind," but have never been given exact instruction to do this. I knew the basic techniques, focusing on breathing, etc, but it has always been vague. For the first few years of my meditation I thought that I was not going far enough into the silence, because what I was doing seemed too simple and it seemed as if the people around me were having a much harder time of it. I thought I needed to shut down more to reach more silence, but I have come to find out now that I was on the exact path when I was first starting out at the age of fourteen and gurus I sought only complicated my path by over mystifying a simple action of my body. What I am doing in meditation is silencing the illusions my perpetual imagination can constantly produce. I am relaxing my Third Eye and then using it when I desire, because in these instances the imagination is not controlling me, but my true self, that is separate from the mind, is controlling the imagination. I have always began dreaming even before I was fully asleep. I have always dreamed throughout the course of my entire sleep. I have been told that this is impossible, people don't dream all through the night. I have also been told some dreams that I think last two hours only last a few seconds, but I know this now to be fully wrong. I am completely conscious of the passage of time while in these silent states when I can control my dreams. I have also been told that people cannot read in their dreams. I have always been able to read in dreams, since I was a child. I have read street signs, newspapers, and once, and only once I read an entire novel that does not exist. The story was well written and completely logical. I know that my overactive imagination is exactly as I perceived. Trust in yourself and you will far exceed the limits people place on themselves and everything around them. All the answers to peace and silence are kept directly inside of you. I know that my overactive imagination is exactly as I perceived. A lifetime of science cannot dispute a simple fact, especially in the realms of meditation where the laws and limits of science can be greatly surpassed, but for the existence of absolute and factual simplicity, like "I am laying on my arms". Men are gods only of themselves, they do not understand their futility in the control of the outer (physical or social, non-mental) world. If you seek freedom from your slave driving mind I will tell you what I have always been told. "Be", be "Present", and "Silence the Mind". If you do these things, that are all the same thing, and you stay constantly devoted to humility, so that you can avoid the exaggerated illusions of the mind that lead to self-righteousness, you will find simple, unbiased, dreamless nothingness. And while in that nothingness you will know that you are still there, in the form of the Simple Silent Truth, more full and more in control than you could ever think. If you want to take this further focus on the body as an empty shell. This is severe meditation that can yield heat in your belly and offer many advantages if you pursue the Spiritual Arts. (Read the Six Yogas of Naropa for much more knowledge on this.) When finished, refocus yourself in the here and now by remembering you are present now, right where you are. Or else, it may be hard to think and remember certain things, but don't worry they will not be gone, you just need to ground yourself.

Meditation I

The Trap of Bliss

There are many techniques to meditation. Nearly all techniques focus on reaching the goal of bliss by reaching a point of non-thought. Non-mind-based-thought. A point of Nothingness. Where there are no fears or biases controlling the person in meditation. It is a way of examining what it is like to be without the traps of the mind and through practice this freedom can spread throughout a life. It is possible to not be trapped by fears, and to be free. However, a common trap of this meditation that hinders a great many people’s lives is the trap of this bliss destination. All religions are fear-based retreats that shelter a person from facing the possibility of non-existence or insignificance. The Existential ideal of "no religion" can also be a fearbased retreat as well. Bliss is a goal in many existential practices. In Hindu-style meditation and Buddhist-style meditation one continually must ask themselves what they are not willing to give up and why. The goal is ultimately to find that the reason one does not want to give up certain things is because they are afraid of losing various things, such as control, identity, and a few other things are truly fleeting. When one realizes that they truly do not need to be afraid and there is something of them that exists forever, this thing that they truly are. As one is freed one by one of these fears that have bound that person, one finds bliss. Most people stay within the bliss. Most people retreat to the bliss as this great all answering conclusion that they have found. Most people become trapped by bliss. One must ask the question, "What am I not willing to give up?" For most meditation junkies the true answer is bliss. To be truly existential one must leave bliss. One must transcend bliss so that one may go deeper into themselves and the universe. Cowards stop at bliss. The weak are consumed by the sensation this freedom. The true existentialist will feel bliss, love bliss and then let it go like all things. Do not be ruled by bliss. It will hinder many great majesties of life. Bliss, like most things, is a fleeting thing. What is there when there is no more bliss? Still just existence. Still nothing. Accept that. Do not be afraid. It exists whether you are afraid or not. We are subject to a many other physical realities, from eating and drinking to something weaker dying for something stronger or merely larger to live. That is the course of physical existence. To ignore the violent, dying reality of human existence by retreating into bliss is cowardly and limiting. Freedom lies in accepting all reality. Every bloody, orgasmic, creative, blooming, rising, dying part. Be free. From the good and the bad. Go completely beyond good and evil.

To my America,

Obama Racism, Ownership, and Slavery

There is a great flaw in all societies that trickled down from the British and Portuguese empires and sects made in that cruel image. A ripple effect through all of time that followed as a system was created to define and create a perpetual entity of Ownership. Ownership. The idea that one person can be indebted to another person. The idea that an individual soul's time, their life, can be purchased and used, as someone else profits from it. And the pittance you gain lets you believe you are profiting too. So you keep coming back. Each month your pay going to the basics of sweating out a life; rent, food, toiletries. These concepts are a strong violation of Natural Law. It is 100% factual that no individual soul can be owned or indebted to any other independent soul, or collection of souls. Therefore, all ownership is false, and based on a false contract. The dent left in proper evolution by this is clearly seen in the damage left on the mind's of African Americans. The racism and constant doubt that all European American people are out for themselves and don't care about any African American is the disease of Pride and selfishness that is seeped through the realities of those Black people that control these African American's popular opinions. The fact is, the absolute fact, is that the society is not against African Americans. It is not even close to that. That's a lie and it was made up because of the want for the power that European American's have. The fact is that it is hard to be poor. It is hard to be a slave. To be a working slave, paid this or that, giving time that you owe paying the debt that won't ever ever end, until you're dead, this is hard. I am a European American, and I feel hatred and irrational contempt because of the color of my skin. When any person joins a group and becomes the mindset of a People, Pride has been chosen and truth and rational fall away and thus it becomes nearly impossible to reach the point of tolerance and actual understanding. Only when Pride is turned from, only when one group doesn't want to own and influence and rule another will the veil of the image of "what we want to be" fade back into a gentle waving calm that allows us to look into each other's eyes as we pass on the street, and only then will we be able to see the equality of every struggling human trying to matter in a world where we have no value at all. We are all water. We are all dirt. And we are Unowned, because power slips out of all of our dead hands. Turn away from shiny Want and look at all people smiling. I have nothing to gain or loose in the situation of Reason, all sides are wrong, choose no power. The world doesn’t owe any of us anything, and never could.

Meditation II

The Search for Silence

By Philosopher Stephan Pacheco

Often times in meditation you are told by a teacher to "silence the mind." What I have discovered is that the mind can be relaxed to a point of silence. The relaxing of the mind to this degree can be quite peaceful. However, the muscle of the brain has to be exercised to be strong. In several instances I have witnessed, and have directly experienced myself, the mind becoming less coherent using this style of meditation. The brain becomes weaker. When living in the world one still needs the mind, to sustain life, or to play the fun game of physical existence. It is not the silencing of the mind that must be accomplished. This is a physical thing that has to do with the brain. (It is a useful technique to now, but it is not enlightenment.) What must be done in this process is that the searcher of peace must find the moment in the mind that is silence. The moment before thought. What provokes the mind to have a thought? What is the force behind the mind? That thing exists without the mind. What is it that we really are? It is silent. It has no voice. It is still. It is calm. It is not silence itself. It is there, it simply has to be noticed. Once it is noticed it can be focused on again and again in common meditations and it can become the center from which you view the world and it can live fully while not killing the mind. The mind can be overcome, but this is not the root of meditation. It is a misinterpretation by the West and many in the East. The mind is powerful and can be used to guide the search for enlightenment in images and imagination. I have attained the full silence of the mind at age seventeen. I can promise that this is not enlightenment. Many times you will think you have something of enlightenment, but you are often mistaken. You often times only have another step inward on the path to enlightenment. The longer you travel the path with infinite patience in yourself and your mind and all that is around you the closer you will come to actual full peace that is untouched by anything. Thus far these are my observations, but always search for yourself. To read about something is not to understand it. Remember, although we are not destroying the mind in this mediation, it is not the mind that understands what I am talking about here. It is a different thing that understands. If you find that thing that can understand, you will find what is silent. You will find your Self. And then this article will be meaningless to you. Good Journey.

The Belief in Kindness and the Human Acceptance

By Philosopher Stephan Pacheco

What primarily instills the faithful belief in altruism, kindness, and other "humane" practices of the world? Is there true honesty and full life in the majority of believers' actions? What do these beliefs show us about the view of death in the world?

There are many people whom assume the guise of kindness. There are many people whom practice the art of self deception. The believers of such faiths, all faiths that portray loving innocence and unquestioned kindness, deny themselves truth. The Vegan who cannot kill a dog to eat its flesh, or pick the apple to eat its flesh to carry on their life does not do so for kindness, nor by the grace of bliss, but for fear of pain, death, and so the fear of life. The believer projects their fears of pain and death upon other living things. They incorporate a reality that exists solely from themselves onto all that surrounds them because they will not face nor accept the truths of life and death. The Vegan is the first example, but so is true within all faiths. One cannot kill because they fear pain themselves. One cannot rape because they fear pain themselves. They are attached to the world. They have given the world a series of rules that make it appear good and kind through their eyes because they cannot handle the reality of living. They cling to an illusion just as any capitalist or authoritarian has. The illusion of control and comfort. When what must be done is the surpassing of these limits and all other limits on life. And what must not be done is the clinging to of comfort and lies that dilute the experience and joy of life. It is not up to one person to inflict kindness on another. It is not. It is up to the individual person to achieve non-attachment and inner peace so that no matter what is inflicted upon that owned self, be it kindness or rage, truth is always known in the depths of existence. Be there Heaven or Hell around the individual, joy and happiness and all other techniques of existence may be used freely, without fear and hindrance, or even concern for those that have achieved peace, or those that have not. A master was once asked, "Is it possible for an enlightened person to hurt another?" The master answered, "Yes. But he wouldn’t know it." Or, though he might know it, he would not be burdened with it. The master, as all masters, understood the irrelevancy in the infliction of pain on another, for he understood the concept of eternity and life and death, and pain. Besides, aren’t all paths to god, or bliss, or truth…in time? Wouldn’t one merely hinder another by creating another illusion to cling to? For example: If someone were to approach me and cut off my ear, I would let my ego react to this brutal attack by cutting of the attackers hold on his life (if possible). But I would hold no grudge. I would hold no grudge if the attacker killed me. I would fly onward. But I would not be afraid to live in the moment. However, in all randomness, I may choose to laugh and walk away, holding my severed ear. It is my choice, because I know truth. I am not ruled by either action. I know that there is no truth, but one. Existence. In all purity. Let me lay forth another example of the human lie. The Guillotine. A device that severed the heads of those whom the "authority" at the time randomly decreed wrong doers. A large blade weighing 88 pounds, with a 45 degree angle, for maximum penetration, was raised fifteen feet into the air and dropped upon the neck of the suspecting condemned, flinging the head into a shoddily made basket in less than a thirtieth of a second. It is quick and it is bloody. It has been halted because it was thought to be "inhumane." But it was not halted because of the blood. No. No. Many died on the Guillotine for centuries and centuries by merely walking up to the device and having there heads sharply severed. Many people came to see it. Many people accepted their fate and/or the fate of whom they came to watch. At the time, it was thought to be the most "humane" way of killing someone. But the debate of it’s humanity rose up from time to time. The debate arose once with kicks, and screams, and the surfacing of all the great fears in one woman, one of Henry’s naughty wives, I think. The crowds came out that day. They came out to see the show. But they didn’t like what they saw. They didn’t like all that fear they saw. They hated it. Because of this event, because of the terrified blood curdling screams of the woman, the Guillotine was not used quite so often anymore. Not because of the blood, but because the crowd could only condone the peaceful death of someone. Hell, it was family event. They could not face the non-peaceful death of someone. It began a great deal of debate about the death penalty in general in France. The "humanity" randomly stuck to the Guillotine is still debated, since its use was effective up to 1971, but the debate was on how long the person retained conciousness after the severing. Again, the watchers didn’t want to stared at by the newly dead, with their condemning, bulging eyes of twitching doubt. Today, the US kills with lethal injection. Very clean. No screaming. Very easy to watch. It is considered the most "humane" way to kill another person, or a puppy for that matter. There is little debate on the method, at least for supporters of the death penalty. It is all considered very humane, but it is not for the person who is dying, the humanity is for the people that are watching. The pain, the doubt, the fear, the terrible war that rages in the mind and heart of that condemned body is Hell itself (for most men, being unenlightened. Even Jesus wanted to know why his father condemned him.). But once that person dies, that ego that found all that Hell, dies too. It’s all quiet on the egoic front. And, most importantly, it offers nice clean-up for the watchers, in the death room and in their minds. Regardless of the cause of death, to kill someone or to die yourself, is always humane. It may be painful, but all humans die, making it humane. All acts committed by the human on Earth are humane, for they come from humans. Though the two examples given are drastically different, and one portrays the sparing of life, and the other the taking of life, the point is the same. The illusion of humanity is a shroud, a belief, that creates the guise of comfort and righteousness, both nasty diseases to truth. Again, although in a much different thought of light, we see the lie, the fear, the illusion of kindness or humanity, keeping people from facing themselves and keeping people from living in the joys of Heavenly things and Hellish things. We are human. We are human so we kill. We are human so we die. We are human so we war. We also love. We also save. We also set free and imprison ourselves and others. Can we live at peace? Not as one commonly thinks peace is. There is no physical peace, nor is there mental peace. There can be non-movement and there can be silence, but there is always action, and so we are always of war, death and rebirth. But we can be deeply and concretely of peace in our true existence. Well, we always are, but rather, we can realize it, and so we can truly live, and truly die, and just as importantly we can let others live and let others die, without the illusionary burden of worry or sadness that comes as natural reflex in acting "humane" and "kind". Death and consumption are as positive as birth and creation in the system, we only put the illusion of "good" and "evil" to them and to all other things. The existence, the final concrete thing, is the only thing that cannot die. Knowing this we can live, and most importantly in this statement we can let others live, even if their way might impose on us physically (killing) or mentally (a far worse type of death for people). It is right and it is pure and it is all too natural to live and to effect and change all life and living that is around us. That is the most intriguing and stimulating part of life. The trick of life is to find the knowledge of peace in yourself, so that you don’t need to take life so personally. It all exists, and not for you or against you, it just exists. All will always die, and all will always be in a type of pain. It would not be joyous without the experience of pleasure or pain. It was never designed to be taken personally. That is the illusion of humankind. A lie. A great lie. How might I know these things? How did I know I reached silent bliss at the age of seventeen? How do I offer any truth in my words? How is it not just philosophy? Simple. I have learned by the only true way to learn. I experienced it. I did not sit and think for hours, or days, or years on a question, so there was no possibility of improper deduction. I was presented with the answer. I have every answer to questions of pure existence and I can see all hindrances, or blocks, in people that search for truth or do not search for truth. I know these things because when I was fourteen I faced death, I felt it, I knew what existence was without my egoic interacting in this world. I became my philosophy. I understood death, and so I understood life. I understood what is real and what is a game or an experience in life. I understood the fleeting nature of this physical world, from histories, to love, to hate. Through simple living, while relating living back to my knowledge in death, I also learned what it was to believe in love and hate, and histories, and other things, while not being attached to them, knowing that they could never really touch me. Over the years following the facing of death I meditated constantly. I would close my eyes and see images, or have thoughts, that I knew were only fleeting and nearly random, and so I pushed my way through them. I reached the full silence that I felt in that moment of death, at age seventeen. I proved to myself that it was possible to reach it while alive. To understand all of existence. Since then I have learned what living in the full ego is like. I learned of madness. I learned of pain. I learned how nothing still touches me unless I wish it (but once you find truth it is a harder technique to let the world touch you than to not let it touch you). I learned how to raise and lower emotions and physical responses in my body. I have learned life and death. But there are so many other techniques I have not yet learned. I cannot levitate, or walk on water, or fix a brake system on a car…yet...but these are only techniques. This is one question I thought one might have. So I answered it. It is words. It is a series of words provoked in me, from the mental games I have been playing due to the texts of the Upanishads, the Bhagavad-Gita, Siddhartha, and others. But all I have read has only been a portrayer of a game to me, a fanciful joy of painting answers that I already know. I thoroughly enjoy it. In final conclusion to all who might ever read this: Always acknowledge Heaven and always acknowledge Hell. And never be owned by either illusion.

To my Courageous HumanKind,

Good and Evil

By Philosopher Stephan Pacheco

One great trick to living free is understanding that Good and Evil are the same thing. Both are only labels given to random things or actions that actually have no bearing on Good or Evil. These things or actions are not Good or Evil. Evil is a label given through the bias of fear to something that a person is afraid of. Notice that the "Evil" thing will always have the potential to harm the person inflicting the object with the bias label. All that is "Good" is also a fear based label. This is deeply important to understand. A thing or an action is given the illusion of "Good" when it is beneficial to a person, when it does not have the ability to harm. All that is "Good" is beneficial to the human. It is fear based because it is seen through a bias of not being harmful. Both are illusions manifested through fear. If a freedom searcher sees Good and Evil, the searcher is not free. The person has made no grand progress. The person sees life through lies, through a veil of fear. It is fully possible to deduce what is a threat to your physical body and what is an advantage to your physical body, this is the technique of rational; but it is a trap, a disease, and a hindrance to true freedom to love or to hate the illusions of what you think are "Good" or "Evil." To see through such fear is a warper of rational, of wisdom, and freedom. If there is Good and Evil in your life you are trapped by fear. You have not gone into the depths of yourself with honesty to free yourself. The free person has moved beyond Good and Evil. The free person is not so afraid as to give such shallow labels to anything, but maybe as an amusing tool. Here is an example of the illusion: A man sets forth to battle a tyrant regime that has sentenced his daughter to death. This man strides forth to save his daughter without concern of what may happen to him. Is this Good? No. He is a criminal that is challenging the law with force and violence. He challenges the social fabric. Without order there is no freedom. His daughter committed a crime according to the law. She deserves to die. Or so the government would say. So is the government "Good?" No. Are they both "Evil?" No. Both would call the other Evil. Both would call themselves Good. But both names, given from both sides, are fear based illusions. And be sure that it is not wrong to do either action. If either action were "wrong" that would be the same sort of biased label given by "Good" or "Evil." Both actions are committed as mere actions. Pure actions. The label is given through lies. Both sides have rationalized the actions committed. They have lied to themselves with the illusions of "Good" and "Evil" to feel comfortable and justified in the action. But both sides are fear based and are not free. If the man went to save his daughter without the illusion of "Good" and "Evil" he may well be free and he may well be playing the game of life (the dance of the egos), but it is rare, and in this imagined case, it is not true. Here is another example: A man walks through a park. He greets everyone he walks by with a "hello" and a smile. He helps a young boy retrieve his boat from a pond. He offers a homeless man twenty dollars for a room and food for the night. And the Evil man killed thousands and thousands of lives on that walk. He stepped on thousands and thousands of organisms, ants, roaches, doodle bugs. He is a mass murderer. But do all these dead and the relatives of the dead call this killer "Evil?" No. Is he "Evil?" No, of course not. And if a giant strolled through its own park and crushed thousands and thousands of people would the giant be "Evil." No. Of course not. Though many cowards would call the innocent giant such. This is a world of death. All that lives...dies. There is no illusion about that. If it breathed, it will one day not breath. This must be accepted to be free. You must accept that you are a killer of things. If you exist here on this planet you are a killer. From walking and crushing organisms, to breathing and inhaling microbes that cannot be oxygenated in your nose, to taking medicine to murder a virus, to cutting off the head of an earthly enemy, you are a killer. The fear of death and of harm must be understood and overcome. The only way that I have found to do this is to find the fear in yourself through the honest search in meditation. And then to engulf yourself in pain, so that you can feel it, and know its fleeting irrelevancy. And the best way, if at all possible, if you have the courage, is to come as close to death as possible without dying and feel the irrelevancy of all that truly does not matter, as it slides away from your existence. However, if the gift does not present itself by near death, it can be reached in meditation. But it must be honest and brutal and you must not get trapped by what feels good to you. You must also not be trapped by what feels painful to you. You must push through all that you cling to. Even before you move fully beyond Good and Evil you must be pushing yourself through fears and pleasures knowing that Good and Evil do not matter, and that they are lies. If true freedom and true strength is what you will become, you must move beyond Good and Evil. You must. And then, and only then, can you dance through life without the suffocating illusions brought forth by fear. You will be wise. You will be free.

To my Courageous Humankind,

Silence

By Philosopher Stephan Pacheco

There is a sound deep within the annals of the Universe. The sound startles so deeply. I know few that have ever faced it. I know none that have lived the same after hearing it. The sound is so hard to hear. It is not something often listened for. But still it never ceases with its noise. Perhaps you have heard it. Perhaps you have jumped at the surprise. Perhaps you may listen now. Perhaps you must perk your ears. Maybe you must lean in to where it may come from. Maybe this is pointless. For the sound is all about you. The sound is within you. The sound has never stopped. You can’t direct yourself to it. You can’t steal it or force it. But it is there. It is covered by the accepted noise. So sit back. Relax yourself. Listen. Seek with your heart. Hear it. Search out the sound of Silence. Silence. You thought you were so brave. But listen. You thought were so good. But listen. Is it what you really are? Listen to you. Listen to the echoes in your righteousness. Your righteousness is empty. You may be one who tries so hard to help all others save themselves, but in fact you forget of your own salvation. If the void in the self is not filled you can surely help no one else fill theirs. If you are not at peace your gifts of peace are stale and misguided. You have nothing to actually give, but the rot of gaping love. Fill in your holes. Thus is shown the hidden hypocrisy of the holy. Thus are those who give love a bad name. The judges. Intolerant of all whom are not as pious as they. Blinded to full love by their fears of what might harm them. Deaf by the clutter in their minds. They cannot truthfully love themselves so they fish for it. They become fishers of men, of men's affections that they cannot have for themselves. They must listen to their hypocrisy. They must see their true motives. The changing of humanity starts in you, without the infliction of it upon others. Peace, love, freedom, cannot be forced. They must be taken by free will, nurtured, adored, and absorbed. Silence the judgment. You must Silence your infliction upon others. You must absorb them as yourself. Judgment must be Silenced, then can you love without painful infliction. Then can you inflict upon others without seeking the infractors damnation. Avarice will be Silenced. Your help is pure when there is no thanks for you or gratitude wanted. You don’t judge those who don’t care for your type of help. This is part of Freedom. This is a piece to the Core of Liberty. It doesn’t bind you to some fake ideal of who deserves help or what help should look like. This is but an example of seeing hypocrisy. Be honest with what you find as you let your lies be Silent. Let the lies of the world cease. Listen to yourself. Listen for yourself and face what you discover. Listen. Fight on. The Silence is there. Enjoy the strength it can grant.
