What was I saying?

Neurofeedback

Biofeedback

Feedback

This is how we learn.  Sure it can seem mystical, the first two at least, when explained in scientific terms with all this machinery and gadgets it looks so ominous. Omnipotent even. 

But it is exactly what the last thing says.....feedback. Just feedback. 

Think of a dog. You take him to the scene of the crime and rub his nose in it and tell him, no. Never again. Don't do this again. Some dogs learn in one lesson, some dogs seem to never learn. It boils down to the consistent feedback really. People are fallible. 

This is why raising up a child is such a crucial and monumental thing. The years when they are absorbing the world, when we are learning the only way we humans know how, by observation and feedback, by trials and errors. It's so important to get those errors fixed by people that not only provide adequate feedback but they (most importantly maybe) model this behavior they are trying to teach. Otherwise we learn truly bad lessons, lessons about hypocrisy and hate, violence and betrayal (to name a few); lessons we would be hard pressed to change if ever. 

I'm writing a book and one of the aspects of what would be in essence the "perfect world" (to me), is that the world is comprised of different geographical and topographical landscapes and there are many inhabited areas each ruled by a different deity or religious leader. A person decides where to live based on the philosophy of that particular land. Most go by the same basic principals but have minor differences. The most basic and unifying principals are that all townships have four main focuses. 

1) agriculture (food is concidered sacred) and the main farmer/horticulturalist is greatly revered and celebrated for nourishing the entire city with beautiful and plentiful crops (which bring health and well being to its citizens). 

2) Living in truth, all people at all times. This means that laws and religion morays do not constrict people from doing what they want. People can get married to one person or a million people in one lifetime. Divorce does not exist. Only love and truth exists. People understand that life is neither fair nor unfair, it simply is. That all things have a season, a coming and going and there are no steadfast "families", no one set of parents, no one set of rules. You love who you want to love when you want to love them (if and when, they want to love you too) and if not you move to the next love. And life is full of love. All around. If you don't close your self off to it you'll see it's always there, ever present, in every roll. Child sexual abuse and incest would not exist, as children would not be schooled about sex until they were each individually ready to learn about it. Adults who were raised this way themselves would know better than to encroach on children, they would know not to lean in on a child's natural curiosity and innate trusting.  They themselves would know true reciprocal sexual adoration and love, never having learned anything but and would not want to impose their desires onto another without enjoying the thrill of their mutual desire and complete understanding.  Places of orgy would be common place and full of sumptuous luxurious delights. While houses would be communal mostly and some singular. With everyone mixed in everwhere, the nomadic to the ancestrials. 

3) school would be a place children did not have to go. The entire city took an active roll in the cultivating of the children.  With different people teaching different things. Each person imparting their own strong suit onto the children. With learning done individually but still in groups (a tiny bit like that Tokyo kindergarten with the open air racetrack setting), except completely open to the public and children to come and go as they pleased. With no child ever being in direct danger as all people strived to ensure each other's success at all times, in all stages, whether known or unknown to each other. 

4) art would be a daily and continual mainstay. With the center of town being a monument to the arts. With music and dance, visual, every art that can be thought of brought to life. For art adds life and color to our lives and what does art do if not give us joy or show us the truth. Artists are the last great truthers. The orators, writers, painters, musicians, do they not reach into our very soul with their creations.  Yet it is not their creation truly. It is our universal soul speaking through the one individual. It is tapping into our selves, our true selves, the one that connects together, that binds us. 

Long cut.....

Anyway. This is why school is important. This is why it needs to be personalized and why it goes beyond school. A child from birth to about 16, when one can fully rationalize on their own, needs continual positive reinforced feedback and truth shown to them. 

Honestly, I wish we took the time as a world to truly live life with the beauty and truth of a child. They are the ones that should be teaching us. We should be so lucky to spend days with them, listening, looking at the world as they do, truly seeing the lights come on in their eyes. Moment by moment, day by day. Truly enjoying the time we have to be a part of who they will become, how they will see the world. What a great honor is that?  To make such a huge impact on the fate of the future. Instead we send them to toil their days in a polishing machine. Where they are all pummeled with the same information, in the same format, with the same agenda, pushing the right buttons, to ensure the right results. Pawns in a corporate and bureaucratic game. 

If we took the time to provide the right feedback to children from the very beginning, individualized, loving feedback, the world would be a completely different place. 

They talk about the world being overpopulated. About factions in power wanting to annihilate the majority of humans for its own gain. Ok. Maybe. But how does chemtrails push that agenda without harming the whole?  How does infecting our entire food chain with deadly poisonous chemicals and solvents not create a problem everywhere?  Wouldn't a much easier solution be to provide free, non invasive, uncomplicated birth control?  Like a tea for example. Birth rates would almost instantly plummet. Isn't it something like 70% of pregnancies are unplanned?  I know that doesn't mean they are unwanted, but I am sure a good portion of those (if an incredibly easy, quick, painless, readily available remedy perhaps even without killing a child already conceived where available) would more than willingly take it.  I try to see the logic in things, as much as I can, knowing I am still constantly learning things. But some things to me seem so obvious, too obvious. I simply can't imagine living in a world with such selfish, poor-sighted idiots.  

Anyway. Where do you start to build a new world, full of real love and pure truth?  I venture to say the only real way to go about it is to start with oneself.  The only real way to affect real lasting change. So maybe if we all keep an open heart to the feedback we are getting in life, maybe that is our own personal polishing to make us our perfect selves after all.

Mother Nature's wrath

We Homo sapiens think we are so great. The most intelligent of all animals. The rulers of the world.  We save, destroy, coral and impose our own whims and desires on any species we see fit to.   For the greater good of whom exactly?  For our survival and/or selfish pleasure?  How do we think we can be deserving of this honor when we have a penchant for destroying everything in our wake?  

What other animal on earth destroys its own habitat?  What other animal lives according to its own "ideology" and not in synch with the cycles and tempests of the earth?  What other animal is so idiotic as to believe it can do as it pleases, when it pleases, consuming, wasting and destroying its own resources and not suffer any consequence?  

For being so supposedly smart we are by far one of the most ignorant and selfish animals there is.  Doomed to annihilate ourselves with our own consumeristic, opportunistic, violent and underhanded ways. I for one, see the turmoil the earth is succumbing to as mother natures wrath against us. Why shouldn't the earth try to eradicate itself from the cockroaches and vultures that we are to it? Or is that being too mean to cockroaches and vultures to compare ourselves to them? After all, they only do as their nature tells them to do. They play the role they are meant to play. 

It is us, in our latest greatest version that plays a false roll. That plays it as if we ruled the earth and it must succumb to our reign and regime and not vise versa. Mother Nature is a much better, kinder, fairer ruler than we humans will ever be. If we learned to once again be malleable to it, to the earth, to our true instincts and animal nature then maybe we could see that for ourselves. 

By for now we seemed to be destined to live in the elaborate mazes of our supposed civilized masks with our backs completely turned to nature and sadly to our very own beautiful animal nature.  And unless we learn to be at one with our own souls and connect to Mother Earth again as the mere animals we are we will never find that which makes us truly humans; not our brains but our humanity.
