			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Well, as the 2 readers 16 bots and 98,765 spammers who frequent this blog have no doubt noticed, I took a long pause between posts for the last few months.</p>
<p>The process of starting a very demanding job again in the cubicle forest, as well as going through the process of becoming a dad for the first time and not forgetting the 41 videos we now have FINISHED and are ALL UP (see <strong><a href="http://www.wayofsystema.com" target="_blank" onclick="pageTracker._trackPageview('/outgoing/www.wayofsystema.com?referer=');">www.wayofsystema.com</a></strong>) for the <strong><a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/1460925874/ref=as_li_qf_sp_asin_tl?ie=UTF8&amp;tag=gfilotcom-20&amp;linkCode=as2&amp;camp=1789&amp;creative=9325&amp;creativeASIN=1460925874" target="_blank" onclick="pageTracker._trackPageview('/outgoing/www.amazon.com/gp/product/1460925874/ref=as_li_qf_sp_asin_tl?ie=UTF8_amp_tag=gfilotcom-20_amp_linkCode=as2_amp_camp=1789_amp_creative=9325_amp_creativeASIN=1460925874&amp;referer=');">Systema Book</a></strong> all took a toll. (What?!? you haven&#8217;t bought one yet? Hurry, Amazon put them on special giving $20 off for Xmas. Dunno how long they will do this for though as I have no control on their pricing and marketing strategies. So if you want one go <strong><a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/1460925874/ref=as_li_qf_sp_asin_tl?ie=UTF8&amp;tag=gfilotcom-20&amp;linkCode=as2&amp;camp=1789&amp;creative=9325&amp;creativeASIN=1460925874" target="_blank" onclick="pageTracker._trackPageview('/outgoing/www.amazon.com/gp/product/1460925874/ref=as_li_qf_sp_asin_tl?ie=UTF8_amp_tag=gfilotcom-20_amp_linkCode=as2_amp_camp=1789_amp_creative=9325_amp_creativeASIN=1460925874&amp;referer=');">HERE</a></strong>.)</p>
<p>Something had to give and after doing 13 hour days at work, trying to keep up training and working every week-end for the last 4 months to get the videos out despite many, many issues, the blog suffered.</p>
<p>But it&#8217;s all done now, and we have done some 41 videos instead of the original 30 promised, so we hope the long wait was worth it.</p>
<p>In other news, my little daughter is great and we could not be happier with her, she laughs already and she really is the most amazing Christmas present we could have wished for.</p>
<p>May you all have a loving Christmas and a very very happy New Year, and may 2012 truly be the end of all the bad worlds any of us may have carried with us for years. Redhead Girl, our Little Princess and I all wish you the very best.</p>
<p>Love to all,</p>
<p>G.</p>
<p>Christmas 2011</p>

<p>Welcome my little girl. Born today 11.11.11 and despite the worst efforts of several morons, healthy, smart and already grabbing my finger and only suffering face bruising from the foreceps. Redhead girl is the bravest person I know and basically whatever flaws the females of the human species may have in regards to logic or anything else, they definitely are the better of the two. Nothing a man might ever do can even begin to compare. Going to sleep for a bit before I return to my girls.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: justify;">Sometimes in life, the subtlety of miracles truly does show the hand of a benevolent creator behind the tiny and busy details of our lives. This post is about just such a time. Working ridiculously hard so that even lunch is a mere rushed affair of only a handful of minutes, you rush back to the office and as you reach your floor you realise that sushi and latte do not mix. You walk briskly to the gents and almost bump into a gentleman just leaving who smiles and greets you magnanimously. Upon entering the toilets for this floor however, the stench of putrefied faeces hits your nostrils like a sledgehammer. Disoriented, you reel towards the <em>pissoir</em> reflexively as you realise this is only bringing you deeper into the sensation of actually having your head inside the bowels of a co-worker. One with death in his colon apparently. The first spam of a stomach about to wrench itself from your body hits. You try to hold your breath as your watering eyes seek escape. As you rip the door from its hinges trying not to think about the fact that you have some of those molecules on your mouth, you escape.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Only to realise the stirred up sushi-latte now requires urgent expulsion. You rush two floors down. No other toilets. Cramping you go back up then climb one floor. Nothing. And another. Still nothing and you have no more floors to explore! There must be another toilet. Armed with the courage that can only come from an imminent ass explosion, you make your way past the front office of a firm of solicitors as if you owned the firm.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">You walk down a long corridor at random and then turn and&#8230; Then you see it. Divine Intervention. God loves you.</p>

<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://saltydroid.info/" target="_blank" onclick="pageTracker._trackPageview('/outgoing/saltydroid.info/?referer=');">Scourge of Internet Frudsters</a></p>
<p style="text-align: center;">&nbsp;</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #000000;">My route to becoming a qualified hypnotist (insofar as anyone can lay claim to that dubious title: Qualified &#8211; Keep in mind any certificate to this effect is issued by an organisation that has absolutely no checks and balances on it whatsoever. Sort of like banks really. Or government. And you <strong><em>trust</em></strong> your government don&#8217;t you?) was a strange one and I was extremely lucky in that I learnt the basics from a guy who is without a doubt excellent at teaching how to do hypnosis. Beyond that, it was my own obsessive nature that prevailed in making this skill really useful and more importantly, NOT DANGEROUS for my clients and other <del>guinea pigs, victims,</del> good friends</span>. A hypnotist that actually has the ability to hypnotise and does so indiscriminately can cause serious damage to people. This is not discussed much in the hypnosis world, because well&#8230;you don&#8217;t want to scare off prospective meal tickets do you? Fortunately, as with my martial arts, I never required to make my living from hypnosis. <span id="more-1786"></span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">I do it because I enjoy it and because it is a truly useful skill to have in order to help people who really want to change some aspect of their life they may be struggling with.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">The path to learning hypnosis however is a rather difficult one. Danger in the form of snake-oil salesmen lies at truly every turn. If you do manage somehow (more by luck perhaps than any particular skill) to come through unscathed and learn the skill well, it does open up a fascinating world to you. Religion and sects lose much of their distinctions one from the other and you begin to see them as two sides of the same coin. Fraudsters and confidence men become more obvious and plentiful in everyday life as they become far more visible. And so do the number of deluded people leading others into further delusion.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">The blind leading the blind if you will. As time passes you begin to truly despise the circumstances that get the original idiots to buy into the scams and then go on to perpetuate them themselves. After a while you even stop caring if people who scam are aware that they are scammers or not. Because sad as it is, some of the scammers are so fully invested in bullshitting themselves as well as you, their potential client that they are, like many peadophiles, both victims and abusers. Of course, just as with the pedos, in my mind, it&#8217;s generally been fine to hang them all and let &#8220;god&#8221; sort them out.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">There is a distinction though, between the consciously evil scammers and the merely deeply brainwashed ones. There is also, I have concluded, a very real piece of information that is the only sure-fire proof against the scammers in the main. It&#8217;s a powerful belief in self. A conscious understanding and trust as well as a very deeply ingrained unconscious belief in yourself as the best arbitrer of what is ultimately best for you. It is rare. It requires a fundamentally powerful loving presence in childhood from your parents that is stronger than anything life throws at them or you. I was lucky. I had this. Even then, bad things can still happen. You could be violated at a young age and the damage this does is so deep it also damages that deeply engrained self-esteem. Again, I was perhaps lucky in this regard. I never suffered such attentions from the unfortunately high number of perverts that roam the planet. Partly, I think, because the first effect was so strongly embedded in me that I have no doubt even as a small child, if I had fallen prey to a molester, I would have had to be killed to be kept silent.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">These may seem like disjointed points, but bear with me reader. Internet marketers and generally bulshitters who try to sell you pipe dreams are a corrosive presence on the planet we share that are in their own way just as bad as battery acid. Slowly but surely they corrode the human parts of us if you allow them to filter in.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">I have written before about the desperate snake-oil salesman that inhabit the <a href="http://www.gfilotto.com/hypnotic-articles/puas" target="_blank">PUA culture</a>, and the <a href="http://www.gfilotto.com/would-you-rather-be-rich-and-famous-or-feel-good-about-yourself" target="_blank">self-help culture</a> and also the internet marketing culture. And in each of these cases I use the word culture, more in its biologist&#8217;s sense, that is a putrefying bio-mass of bacteria feeding on the corpses of dying cells and producing so much excrement that later gets consumed by others.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">I have, in general, been rather a lot more kind to many self-help gurus and PUAs and so on. In part this is because human nature is fallible and I try to give people the benefit of the doubt, but that is not to say I would so much as have a cup of coffee with any of them. I have met a few of the people I write about and while I have <a href="http://gmanvox.wordpress.com/2010/02/17/geeks-on-steroids-are-colombian-scammers/" target="_blank" onclick="pageTracker._trackPageview('/outgoing/gmanvox.wordpress.com/2010/02/17/geeks-on-steroids-are-colombian-scammers/?referer=');">no qualms calling a fraudster a fraudster</a>, I do not honestly have the time to dig all that deep into any of their miserable little lives. Luckily though, someone does. Salty Droid. I strongly suggest before you buy anything related to selling things online, you go and visit salty droid&#8217;s site. His style is brutal and harsh, but if you read a few of his articles you will get the jist of it and return to read more. Eventually you will even laugh out loud for real at some of his sentences. He definitely tears the scammers a new one. And I only wish we could clone him and build a much wider net of honest citizens that ferret out the weasels. But it&#8217;s not as easy as you think. Here&#8217;s a test that should wake you up a little.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Try googling for anything bad on Tony Robbins. It&#8217;s not as easy as you think.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">That&#8217;s right. Self-made billionaire (or is it only multi-millionaire?) Tony &#8220;big-assed teeth&#8221; Robbins. You think at least a couple of articles about him on the websphere might be critical right? I know first hand I had some not-good experiences with his organisation, and personally know others who had similarly negative experiences. I went to some of his events, which are by no means free, and in one a young kid, who I happened to know through his dad who I had also met at a similar earlier event won a Harley Davidson motorcycle in a raffle. Do you think that kid ever actually go that bike? Dream on. I corresponded with his dad for years on it and he never did get it. This is just a tiny incident, but really, aside from a <a href="http://forum.rickross.com/read.php?12,77450,80464" target="_blank" onclick="pageTracker._trackPageview('/outgoing/forum.rickross.com/read.php?12_77450_80464&amp;referer=');">forum that deals with LGAT</a> (Large Group Awareness Training &#8211; or if you prefer, brainwashing 101 for large crowds) there is precious little on the net telling you anything bad about Tony. Because he&#8217;s such a nice guy surely. Right? Yeah&#8230;sure&#8230;believe it. Also: The government loves you, the cheque is in the post and I&#8217;m only going to rest it there a little without pushing.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">As it happens anyone writing anything meaningfully real about Tony that does not meet with his PR machine&#8217;s approval gets a cease and desist letter and a threat of a lawsuit it seems. You know; allegedly.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Go visit <a href="http://saltydroid.info/" target="_blank" onclick="pageTracker._trackPageview('/outgoing/saltydroid.info/?referer=');">Salty Droid</a>. It&#8217;s entertaining and educational. And as such it is a sad reflection of the state of our 1984 reality  that it has to be hosted on a special server that aggressively defends the right to free speech. Go figure.</p>

<p style="text-align: justify;">Frank Frazetta passed away almost a year ago. Luckily, his work will live on for a long time. Forever I hope. I have always been a fan of his work and read the novels of Edgar Rice Burroughs mostly on the strength of the art that so often coloured the covers of his books. Frazetta did many book covers over the years and his art has always had a dynamism to it that made me wish I was born in a pulp novel with spaceships, ray gun and scantily clad females. Sadly only one of those three things is normally available on this planet, but I suppose it is the better one of the three. I am working on the zap gun though. And the spaceship is sure to follow.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">I have always had a secret wish to be able to draw well. In truth I am not completely inept at this, but I am nowhere near what I think is passable. Mostly because I gave up at a young age when I thought I was not gifted for it, which in fact was not really the case. I just didn&#8217;t realise the amount of practice one required. Later I never had the time, but I still hope maybe in old age, if I ever make enough to retire, I will be able to pick it up.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">One of the questions I ask people sometimes is if they had the possibility to pick three skills they would like what they would be.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">One of mine would be to be able to draw and paint like Frazetta. What would yours be?</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: justify;">I have been busy with a new job and various other things, among which the creation of Videos for the Systema book, which after many tribulations, I have concluded is just going to happen easiest and best if I do them myself and forget about trying to rely on other people I had contracted originally. It seems the world of media people and I have different ideas about a lot of stuff concerning deadlines and agreed rates and so on. ANY-WAY&#8230;</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Here is something cool for you though:</p>

<p style="text-align: justify;">The tales of the Gold Monkey was a show which I saw only a couple of episodes of when I was a kid  in the early eighties, but I was sorry the series (or more likely the reception, as we lived in Botswana then) went off air shortly after it started. I always remembered it though and looked for it online from time to time. FINALLY some genius has put it on DVD, the whole series too!</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Now, I did read some of the reviews on amazon before buying it and I was worried that like so many other things from my misspent youth this would have aged badly and I would not enjoy it at all.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">I am glad to report this was not at all the case. The show is indeed quite &#8220;over the top&#8221; but in the same way that Indiana Jones is. In other words, in a way I quite love. And it is a PERFECT show. The violence is somewhat theatrical, yet present, the acting is quite B-class but just kitch enough to make it brilliant and with some genuine moments of inspired B-Acting, and the plots&#8230;oh the plots&#8230;they basically make this the best damn birthday present I have bought myself in along time. The Gold Monkey has it all. Nazi nuclear bombs, lost Egyptian tribes, anachronistic elements that don&#8217;t really fit together and B-movie acting. It&#8217;s perfect. Truly a work of wonder. It has 22 episodes in the DVD pack but I am miserly with them as I fear running out of them. If you ever saw the original show you will not be disappointed if you get this. And if you never saw it before get it. Trust me&#8230;B-style films never get this good again. This is like pulp film. Brilliant. It&#8217;s right up there as one of my all time favourite film things, and probably at number one for TV series, right up there with NCIS and Dexter though these are two very different shows.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">So yeah, while I avoid telling you about my life (not much new there) and work (lots new there but it&#8217;s for a wealthy and semi-famous client and he likes his privacy so he shall have it from me), be grateful I share this gem of cinematic genius with you. More than 24 hours of excellent entertainment. Not many blogs point to that today. It&#8217;s pretty cheap too at about 25 bucks. So if you are stuck for something good to see on TV, now you know what to get.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">One last little bit of info&#8230;this series came out in 1982 but in it (although in classic B-cinema style) there is a semi-accurate representation of the fact that the Nazis had more advanced atomic bomb technology than the Americans. Something that is still not widely recognised today and only became public in 1992 with the release of certain documents under the FOI act. How Don Bellisario knew of it (or guessed it) before then is not known, but it just goes to show. All good B-movies really tell the deepest truths. At least about Nazis. You know it.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.gfilotto.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/08/parallel-multi-verse.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-1762" title="parallel-multi-verse" src="http://www.gfilotto.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/08/parallel-multi-verse.jpg" alt="" width="500" height="375" /></a></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">I have been reading rather thick tomes of physics since a young age. I suppose if you added them all up they would probably come close to the number of books on the subject that someone that wanted to get a degree in the subject might digest. In fact I suspect I have read enough of these to come closer to a Master&#8217;s, but that&#8217;s sort of beside the point, because I doubt the books I picked would form part of any specific curriculum. The point is that all that physics has served me well in many other spheres of life. For one, it fit very well with my actual choice of subject in tertiary education, which was civil engineering, but perhaps less obviously, it has served me well in practically every job I have ever done.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span id="more-1761"></span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Having a good appreciation for the laws of physics has a tendency to solidify reality for you in rather specific ways. It was impossible for me to study business economics for example, because it involved two completely abstract subjects, one being economics itself, in practically all its guises, and the other being accounting, at least as it&#8217;s taught in universities rather than the honourable and ancient profession of keeping track of funds which is really little more than balancing two columns of numbers, no matter what anyone tells you.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">I simply could not bring myself to accept on any level of reality the complete nonsense that so-called &#8220;economists&#8221; and other people who say they practice such &#8220;arts&#8221; spout; or &#8220;sciences&#8221;, or whatever else they claim economics actually is (besides the flight of common fancy that it is). The fact that such completely fabricated realities as the theories of these proto-humans (economists, like several other creatures of the so-called &#8220;social sciences&#8221; should not really be confused with actual humans) affect large portions of the population of this planet is in one sense a very clear indicator that fabricated realities, absurd though they may be and completely arbitrary as they may be, do in fact, impinge on us in very real and material ways.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">In a very round-about way, it could be said that the various economic crises that befall us periodically (and which seem to come to a head more recently on a global scale) are clear evidence that realities of pure thought, that is, essentially created in nothing much more than some people&#8217;s minds mostly, do in fact have the power to derail the entire human race in very meaningful ways.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Keep that thought in mind while I mention the idea of multiverses, which essentially boils down to the concept that there are an infinite number of universes in which every alternative, every choice and every possible outcome for any event is actually manifest. Sort of. The idea of multiverses is familiar to any 10 year old who reads decent comic books, but the reality of how multiverses may actually function is a little more complex than what any comic book I read on the subject has ever explained. In fact, I have yet to come across a decent physics book on the subject that interprets how multiverses work in what I consider to be the &#8220;correct&#8221; way. And by correct I mean MY idea of how it works. You must know however, that I have not reached this idea haphazardly or quickly.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">I have considered the concept of multiverses at the very least since my early teens. And I have been testing my theories actively for at least the better part of the last 7 years or so, but really began experimenting several years before that, probably really getting into it actively in 1993.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">This process of wanting to test reality has led me down many strange paths and it has been a very interesting journey. One of these paths has been hypnosis, and it has been invaluable in testing some of my theories. Simultaneously, I have also got a rather wide view of most religions and spiritual belief systems, as well as a pretty extensive grasp of the history of humanity. Not necessarily as recounted in various history books, but in the more laborious, but also infinitely more satisfying way, of reading old documents from various periods and cultures, translated into a language I can read today.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">It has been all very fascinating and in time I also came across some rather brilliant if unorthodox men and their physics theories and concepts. And today, being as it&#8217;s my birthday, I am going to share with you my thoughts on the matter.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">It would take too long to justify every piece of evidence I will present here as a basic premise, so I apologise if I do not give you extensive footnotes or other research materials, but this is mostly because to do so would literally take me several days even if I were to give only cursory research notes. There is a lot to go through and besides, it <strong><em>is</em></strong> my birthday, so I&#8217;ll do it the way I want and works easiest for me.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">The premises are these:</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">1. Aether science theory was prematurely &#8220;discounted&#8221; at the turn of the 20th Century and has in fact a lot more merit than most people think. Read up on Nikolai Kozyrev in this regard, and Burkhart Heim. Scientists whose work was classified for many years, yet is proving even now, to astonish and amaze all the physicists who are becoming familiar with it.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">2. Any theory of reality that ignores consciousness as a component of the universal laws or rules which may exist is necessarily incomplete.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">3. Deep states of hypnosis actually seem to have a tiny but perceptible effect of actual reality. That is, not just the reality of the subject, but the objective universe around that subject. You need to read through a few thousand pages of Milton Erickson&#8217;s work on this point and discover the secret experiment he did in secret for some 40 years and only wrote up towards the end of his life. Or alternatively, you need to place yourself (and others) into deep trances (without the use of drugs) and in certain specific contexts, in order to come to similar or identical ideas as Erickson himself reported on. I have done both, starting first with experiments on myself, then on others and only later did I discover Erickson had achieved similar results, though using a far more methodical approach than my own.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">4. Human DNA, in fact, possibly and probably ALL living things, (and by extension therefore all matter to some degree) have some capacity for the warping of reality. In a simple way this is obvious as living things can and do alter their environment, but in the case of humans, their higher level of consciousness and more specifically, their DNA, has the actual capacity to alter reality or in some way enmesh with it and then alter it. The bridge between this and hypnosis as well as repetitive thinking patterns is clear to me. In a sense, human DNA seems to be anchored in time and space much like a particle in quantum physics that has a superpositional quality. That is, on some level it can be anywhere at any time. Humans may not be able to &#8220;teleport&#8221; from say Earth to Mars, like John Carter of Mars did in the Edgar Rice Burroughs novels, but as you will see below, we may be doing something just as amazing as that, and we may be doing it all the time, without realising it.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">5. The aether theory of physics is related to the idea of multiverses.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Finally, let&#8217;s postulate, just for fun if you like, that the theory of multiverses is actually true. In other words a infinite, or at least very, very large number of universes does exist or can exist. There are in fact reasonably good reasons to think this is the case and in fact not a few very smart physicists have concluded that this is actually the case and mathematically at least, some have also gone so far as to prove it.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">But so what, right? I mean how does this help you pay your bills or get more of that freaky sex you so desperately crave? (Don&#8217;t deny it, I know my readers&#8217; demographics, you filthy little perverts!).</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Well, the thing is, that given the premises above, there is one last final piece of the puzzle that I have been testing for a few years that seems to me to actually be correct, and this is that there is essentially a kind of &#8220;leakage&#8221; between the various universes. In effect, there might in fact only be one universe, or there may be many, or just a few, but regardless of this, there are an actually essentially infinite number of possibilities for any of these universes to unfold.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">For the sake of simplicity let&#8217;s say there is only one actual universe, but even this being the case, there is actually an infinite number of possibilities in which this universe can unfold. In such a situation, the most consciously aware beings (humans in our case) have the ability to &#8220;control&#8221; the flow of these possibilities. Normally this is boiled down in various self-help crapola as being &#8220;as you think, so you shall create&#8221; and so on. The sort of Joe Vitale, Tony Robbins, semi-multi-quasi-lots-of scammy bullshit that sounds good but does not help when you&#8217;re broke, homeless and trying to survive the next day.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Please try to follow my theory. It does not have much in common with these new-age mumbo-jumbo types.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">By control the flow of possibilities I mean that our DNA and minds are somehow superpositionally placed in this universe and have the ability to effect outcomes of reality. The way they do this is pretty much unconsciously and may well be somewhat or even fully &#8220;genetically locked&#8221;. That is, you may go around thinking &#8220;I&#8217;m a millionaire&#8221; all day, trying to brainwash yourself into this belief for years, wasting thousands on motivational seminars and books on scammy NLP written by scammier NLPers, but nothing much will change.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Firstly, the level of superpositionality of your DNA may not be controllable by you consciously. It may just be mostly the result of your genes and an unknown mixture of factors which are mostly due to random chance. But even supposing you do have the potential ability to affect the flow of reality (and my own experience and experiments suggests this is not just probable but likely) the fact is that you first have to understand how and under what circumstances you might be able to do this.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Here we enter the first difficulty, which is that there is no adequate language to try and explain what I have discovered and tested for several years now. Nor is there an adequate scientific method that comes close to being able to measure this with the kind of precision that normal science requires in order to make a hypothesis become a theory. The work is long because it is so refined and subtle, and the measurements are also tiny. A great deal of statistical work is required and in any case most of it would be inadmissible in a scientific study because it is primarily of a relatively subjective nature.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">How, for example, do you measure happiness? Yet, it is true that if you ask anyone, how happy are you today compared to 5 years ago, unless they are brain damaged, they will be able to answer quite clearly. Even if no real material change in their objective conditions has manifested. That is, they may still be doing the same job, earning a similar pay and living in the same place, and be in the same relationships, but even with all of these factors being essentially the same, they can have great shifts of consciousness and thus personal sense of happiness. Not on a ephemeral scale, but on a large, gradual and permanent level, or at least one that lasts for many months before similar gradual shifts potentially increase or lower it again.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Nevertheless if after several years of performing certain tests one can conclusively say that his or her life measurably increases in happiness when certain practices are undertaken, stagnates when they are not and actively worsens if the reverse of these practices are taken, then it is a relatively safe thing to say that for that person at least, whether you believe him or her or not, it is hardly going to be relevant to them. Their life experience will have essentially convinced them of the validity of their views.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">There are certainly very clear physical parallels to this and they are not hard to imagine. Say you drink a lot regularly, it is more likely your life will suck in the long term. Say you stop drinking and pursue an actively healthy lifestyle instead, it is again, relatively likely that your life will improve in quality, or at least suck less than when you are an alcoholic. Experimenting with being a drunk for a period after being healthy for a period would probably soon convince you of this fact if it were not for the increasing number of dead brain cells you accumulate.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">What I am discussing is essentially analogous to this process but does not actually involve any drugs. It seems to me that it is possible, to actually change your view of reality in such a way that your entire life actually &#8220;shifts&#8221; universe. Given that there are an infinite number of possibilities and given that your &#8220;teleporting&#8221; from one universe( or possibility) to another universe (or possibility) happens mostly unconsciously, even if all humans had this ability, none of us would notice it. Even if you did manage to shift yourself to an idyllic paradise planet, you would not know it. To you, reality around you would have gradually changed until peace on Earth, free love and the lack of venereal diseases is just a fact of life. Everyone you know too would have been gradually affected. It is here that we enter the realm of the possibility of an infinite number of universes. If there are indeed many alternative universes and if the &#8220;leakage&#8221; between them permits us to shift between them, then there may well be a whole bunch of other mes living in much nicer versions of Earth, and if so, unless I personally shift to such a universe, I will never know about it.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">If however, the universe we have is really only one, but with a cloud of infinite possibilities all hovering about us at all times, then my shifting to such a better reality would to some degree or other, also be impaired not just by the difficulty of the process itself, but also by the actions and thoughts of all other humans on the planet (mostly unconscious and thus all that more difficult to influence). The only advantage in such a situation would be that if I did gain some level of mastery over the process of creating such shifts in reality, I would be more likely to affect reality in a specific direction than any other individual who had not reached the same level of control over this process. Overall though, I would be hard-pressed to notice any shifts at all, because the overall &#8220;average&#8221; of the &#8220;unconscious humans&#8221; would probably create the reality around me that we all perceive as being generally the same one we share with everyone else. At least, it would seem this way, from day to day. Over longer periods of time, certain trends might be noticed however. Probably not so big as to shift the whole planet into a better situation, but maybe enough to improve your little corner of the world so that possibly you have a good circle of friends, a nice situation concerning your personal relationships, a healthy life and a good way of earning a living.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">If such shifts were possible, even if relatively mild or modest, it would still be a very valuable skill to develop. And furthermore, if such a skill were possible to develop, it is unlikely one person alone would do so. Others invariably would, either consciously (as is the case I am proposing here) or perhaps, as always happens in every sphere of human endeavour, at least some people would have a natural knack for doing whatever &#8220;magical&#8221; set of things one needs to do in order to gain such control over the shifts of reality one wants to create.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Fear is a very relevant part of this. People in fear are essentially incapable of exercising any control over their unconscious processes, and on some level, all humans are living in some state of fear. Or at least, let&#8217;s say a great number of them are. A very close second emotion besides fear, if we were to classify those humans who do not experience fear as their primary unconscious motivator, would be what we could consider as &#8220;thirst for power&#8221;. Maybe you prefer the word ambition, or perhaps a certain striving, perhaps fuelled by a little fuel called anger, or determination or even rage.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Think about this for a little while. How many humans are truly free of fear? And for how long? Even if a person is essentially unafraid on any given day, how permanent is that condition? What if they lose their job? Their health? A loved one? Fear is literally just around the corner all the time. But now let&#8217;s assume we are looking at that sector of the population that is not afraid for long periods of time at a stretch. Who are these people?</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">In the main, they are the those who are too busy to be afraid. They are so busy doing, or trying to do, certain things, that they literally do not have time to feel afraid. Even these people are rare, because most of the most ambitious humans you might be thinking about are in fact motivated ultimately by fear anyway. Fear of not being good enough or smart enough, or successful enough, or rich enough. Either that or they are compensating for some other lack. They are too ugly or unpopular, (or they think they are) and so work harder than ever to be accepted (even if just from themselves or their own internal demons). And are these inadequacies, perceived or real as they may be just another form of fear? So do not make a mistake. Indeed even the ambitious workaholics are mostly just more scared humans.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">So who does this leave?</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">The truly ambitious, motivated by thirst for power for its own sake, or greed for its own sake, as opposed to power to compensate for some fear, or greed to fill an actual gaping emotional hole beyond greed itself. And the natural scientist.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">There is a reason you see that we respond, as children as well as adults to the classic comic book paradigm of the evil villains bent on world domination and the good, honest, but ultimately humble hero with a big brain and a big set of balls too, because remember, smart is not enough, you have to be lacking fear to be counted in the group of those who have the power to shift reality consciously.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">The greedy thirsty for power types tend to outnumber the natural scientists. Roughly in the same ratio that apparently ambitious and greedy people (but really just fearful people) outnumber apparently natural scientists (but in reality just another version of human that though perhaps more curious than his cousins, still has too many fears to be considered a true (and fearless) natural scientist).</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">The natural scientists have only one advantage. They are the single group most likely to understand that they are shifting reality consciously. The ambitious types, let&#8217;s call them the &#8220;Truly Ambitious&#8221; to differentiate them from the merely fearful ambitious types, are in the main unconscious about their reality shifting powers. They may be very conscious of it in a physical, material sense, but they do not, for the very vast majority of cases have any idea of the actual mechanics behind the processes that DO allow them such vast control over large sections of the human population. They perform and produce their huge shifts in reality, affecting them and many others much like idiot savants, without any real understanding of their ability, merely a kind of superior instinct of how to go about shifting things.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">The natural scientist however is unique. And as such may be the only creature able to counter the mostly unconscious work of the truly ambitious. The truly ambitious are not necessarily &#8220;evil&#8221; as such, though human nature at large is not very likely to reassure us on this point. Consider: What are the chances that a random human, given infinite power to change the world would not do so at the expense of others even if there was no need to make anyone suffer?  If you are still reading this far in, not only are you probably alone in this endeavour, but you are also beginning to see the degree and importance of the problem of unconscious actions by now.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Acting as they do, that is unconsciously (at least with respect to their ability to shift reality) the truly ambitious create changes in the world that have far reaching consequences, and not all of them are good. In fact, few of them are. Mostly because the view we have of reality could be said to be the average of the average humans&#8217; views, and as you know by now, those are very fearful views. So the truly ambitious, even if lacking fear themselves, operate as if they were in a world full of fear (because it is such a world) and they actions, normally geared towards getting more personal power, are invariably going to have a number of victims.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">In effect, they are sort of villains by default rather than necessarily by choice.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Enter the natural scientist. In one way, the True natural scientist, (let&#8217;s call them Truly Natural Scientists, to differentiate them from mere scientists that still have fear) is somewhat immune to the vicissitudes of the truly ambitious. That is, even if they do figure out how to shift reality, they are less likely than most other humans to then become power-hungry megalomaniacs. Mostly because in order to be a true natural scientist, by definition, one has to already be free of fear. And if this is the case, and one also lacks the ambition of the truly ambitious, it is quite unlikely that they will suddenly develop it. Generally, the true natural scientist lack the ambition displayed by the truly ambitious not because he is missing a specific gene (though it might be the reason too) but because he or she has already considered a philosophy in which that level or type of ambition has already been rejected as not viable.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">I believe a relatively small number of such true natural scientists (if they existed, and if they could become aware of each other) acting in concert and toward a common goal, that ultimately is so simple that I think it is very likely ANY true natural scientist would automatically be working towards it as soon as they realised they have the ability to shift reality, could affect the direction of the shared reality of the rest of humanity by huge degrees of magnitude.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">In effect, although this theory is wholly mine and unique as far as I know, an analogous situation to  the one of a hypothetical  group of true natural scientists trying to shift reality for the whole of humanity, has possibly already taken place once before. At least something like it has been suggested as having already happened once in history. However those few  true natural scientists, a number of individual said to number only of a few dozen men, were then suddenly imprisoned, tortured to death or executed, all in the space of a very short time, and their organisation disbanded and destroyed, limiting and slowing down human evolution from a spiritual (reality-shifting) point of view by several centuries.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Indeed, if human beings have these reality shifting powers, surely they have been used before, and in this respect, the study of ancient civilisations become far more interesting. Metaphor become important, as do stories, but even more so are those Cyclopean constructions, such as the creation of entire mini-cities, separated by kilometres, built apparently exclusively for the purpose of lining up certain features so as to create huge and very advanced (because accurate due to the scales used) astronomical observations. Why would the ancient inhabitants of the Americas have built entire cities (in locations by the way which today cannot really support even small communities due to the changes in climate and vegetation available) just to make some astronomical observations? Of course one can look at any odd thing in the past and try to make it fit any theory at all, but in my view, the link between astronomy and the powers of shifting reality are closely linked.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">One has to be able to see the eternal in order to affect it, and what better way to do this than to look up into the night sky?</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Telepathy and many other supposedly &#8220;impossible&#8221; things, such as precognition have now been proven scientifically to such a degree that although still not popular to discuss, can no longer be denied, even by the most rigorous critics using the most stringent scientific methods (don&#8217;t take my word for it, do a google search for a meta-study on precognition done by Honorton and Ferrrari or get yourself a book called <a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B002WOD8XI/ref=as_li_qf_sp_asin_tl?ie=UTF8&amp;tag=gfilotcom-20&amp;linkCode=as2&amp;camp=217145&amp;creative=399373&amp;creativeASIN=B002WOD8XI" target="_blank" onclick="pageTracker._trackPageview('/outgoing/www.amazon.com/gp/product/B002WOD8XI/ref=as_li_qf_sp_asin_tl?ie=UTF8_amp_tag=gfilotcom-20_amp_linkCode=as2_amp_camp=217145_amp_creative=399373_amp_creativeASIN=B002WOD8XI&amp;referer=');">The ESP Enigma</a>, which has plentiful references from scientific papers or watch the video of Micheal Persinger called No more Secrets, freely available on youtube).</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Consider these things in conjunction, and the idea that we may have the ability to shift reality consciously does not seem so fantastic after all. In fact, I can tell you personally, that I have tested this hypothesis to the point that I am pretty convinced it is more than just a theory.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Now, don&#8217;t you wish I was going to tell you just how to do it? Well, I would, but there are a few problems.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">First of all, it&#8217;s not easy to translate the process required into any language, because many of the concepts just do not have names and so it would be required to write a very lengthy explanation of each aspect, then keep all of those concepts in mind all at once while you do certain things. And most people who started this blog post did not get anywhere near the end of it, so that alone is going to be an issue. The MTV generation does not make wizards or Jedis, no matter what Harry Potter fans might think.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Secondly, even if I did all of that and you took the time to learn it and practice it, there is no guarantee you would not try to use such ability purely and mostly for personal gain, with which there is not a great deal wrong, except that, as you know, power corrupts and absolute power corrupts absolutely, so unless you came to this already clear of any thirst familiar to the truly ambitious, it would not be a good thing to teach you such things.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">And thirdly, not everyone can do this. It takes a certain type of persistence of character over long periods of time in addition to the other qualities. In short, I am still researching this last point, but I think there may be some kind of natural failsafes that prevent the skill or ability from becoming conscious to most people excepting perhaps a very small number. This is not all that unusual in the natural world, especially given the survival/extinction benefits/risks involved.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Nevertheless, I do hope that some young and sincere true natural scientists might one day stumble across this long blog post and read it, and perhaps, it will encourage them to continue their search and work, as well as point them in the right direction with regard to where to look.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Exploring this field is truly a lifelong work, but it is as inevitable for the natural explorer/scientist as it is for a duck flying south with the change of season. Unlike those ducks though our destination is far more elusive and the road is long. It might be more akin to the trip taken by those types of butterflies or moths that take several generations to migrate to a specific location on Earth, where they return periodically, even if it takes four or five generations to reach it.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">If you are one of us, I can only wish you the best of luck in your search.</p>
