This is the sad truth of humanity. Mankind should speak truths not lies; seek love and hope not be willing to despise and hate; at the heart of all men should be peace not war. There should not be a desire for others to fail which is shown in the way people denounce one another. In how people are jealous of others and are willing to judge on impulse without knowledge or understanding. There should always be room for LOVE!!!

Who mourns for Heron of Alexandria?
Who mourns for Heron of Alexandria?

People have often said that we use only a fraction of our brains this only goes to show the limited understanding that humanity has of nature. They refer to the Appendix as an appendage that has no purpose and exists as redundant material that once had a use but is now superfluous. Once more there is no surprise that with this thinking the popular idea occurred that we use only 10% of our brains. This idea seems to be widely accepted throughout many societies. Although science has proven that this is nothing more than a myth. The “10% myth” is so wrong it is almost laughable says neurologist Barry Gordon, at Johns Hopkins School of Medicine in Baltimore, Scientific American, February 7th 2008. The Myth still exists to this day.
So why is there such a lack of understanding as to how nature works?
It starts with the way Humanity perceives the world within which it lives. It is as if he is a man that sees the sea and does not look below it and in his belief that there is a solid mass in front of him tries to walk on water only to find that he sinks beneath to its depths. So why cannot a being as capable as humanity not have a truer understanding of his environs?
“One small step for man one giant leap for mankind” Neil Armstrong on stepping foot on the moon.
So often man takes small steps not realising that he is more than able to take giant leaps. Humanities understanding of his world is an example of this.
But this does not mean that we are a species in decline it just asserts the fact that over many years and centuries we have not educated ourselves to be as creative as we should be. At different intervals through the centuries from the beginnings of recorded history to modern day humanity has shown that such a being does not appreciate the true extent of its abilities and so those abilities remain latent and unused.
When Heron of Alexandria a Mathematician in the 1st century of the 1st millennium a.d. invented what was an aeolipile a steam-powered device. It was an incredible leap forward, especially if he had been its original designer, though there are those that believe such an idea came from an earlier time. If Heron had also developed pistons to his machine he would have created the first truly powered steam engine almost 2000 years before the industrial revolution began.
Is it too difficult to imagine that someone as intelligent as Heron did not realise the potential uses of and power of steam not to make what would have been a leap of monumental proportions. People have often sited that at the time such a development was unnecessary, as that society used slaves to do the tasks required; but anyone who understands science realises that this laboured reasoning is out of context with the mind of someone like Heron. Curiosity would have driven him to experiment further to realise the potential of his device. So why then did he not proceed to what would have been a logical conclusion? Who was it or what was it that prevented him from such an advancement?
One logical answer is that he thought there was no further potential for the device and that he had taken it to its final conclusion. I discount this attitude as I feel that someone such as Heron with an imagination as rich, varied and productive as his would have perceived that further advances from his machine were capable.
Perhaps Heron was negatively influenced by those who harboured a jealous resentment for his brilliance that he never drove other ideas forward. Jealous pride has curtailed many an advancement in history.
So how does this tie in with my initial thought, that of the myth that we use only 10% of our brain. It is to show how humanity need not take small steps but can take giant leaps that enables him to evolve to a higher level. That certain beliefs are untrue and are only adhered to because of a lack of understanding.
The truth of my analogy is this; there have been many occasions when humanity has merely seen the surface of the sea and thought it to be land to walk upon where man has not seen or realised what are obvious truths.
People have an understanding that so much is achieved by a step by step process that the giant leap is not often taken because it is believed not to exist. In fact it is almost encouraged not to exist through a mixture of wrong thought and corrupt ideology that ideology of wanting to see others fail.
How many times have people felt provoked to diminish others out of jealousy, pride and pure narcissism. How many times have you heard the cliché ‘you, you can’t do that.’ And yet all around people are capable but are led to believe that they are not.
We live in a world and a society that enjoys ‘dumbing down’ the individual to what is a level of submissiveness so that they become nothing more than institutionalised slaves or slaves to their social group. Whether that is through the worship of celebrities or through a misguided belief in figures who have been afforded power and authority; not through their knowledge and wisdom but through the fortune or misfortune of being born to it.
The hypocrisy that has prevented so much good from occurring has evidently been around for thousands of years.
Look around and you will see there are so many struggling to do right for their community but are held back from doing so as they believe they are incapable. People are so used to diminishing people whether from an underprivileged environment or not that in their jealousy and pride they will often say that others do not have the ability to be creative when in reality they are saying that others do not have the right to be more creative than they are. This again is offensive and is a form of bigotry that has been ongoing for thousands of years. In the case of Jesus “Nazareth can anything good come from there.” John 1 v46. Such ideas as believing people are not capable because of their history are as rampant today as they ever were.
Perhaps someone turned to Heron and said of his device; why don’t you build something useful instead; and being discouraged, simply put down his mechanism and got on with something else. Or perhaps they saw its potential and persuaded him to stop working on it so that they might devise something themselves but where he was capable they proved incapable. And that jealous pride prevented humanity taking that leap forward. And if Heron had been disgruntled for not being aloud to proceed with his experiment he would have been ridiculed for his behaviour.
Usually people lay the claim on those who are unsatisfied with their lot that they have ‘a chip on their shoulder;’ or that they are just ‘bitter twisted’ individuals. Well of course they are resentful such people have been unjustly and mercilessly treated by those who are the first to complain should they have been treated similarly.
People cover up their hate of others by charging them with being the cause of it. Exceptional people do not have to be few and far between people can be nurtured to become extraordinary and one day society will realise that it has missed so much and been content with so little. An orchard is not an orchard if only one or two trees are able to grow fruit in it.
So why is creativity limited?
It is the environment; media, social groups, etc people grow up in. I cannot abide the cheapness of hate and the great expense given to love; by that I mean I cannot abide the way people are willing to hate each other quite freely without even realising it, and keep love only to themselves; this thinking is quite bizarre.
If people would just love others the way they would wish to be loved what a difference there would be. If you were compassionate instead of dispassionate, if you were merciful instead of merciless and if you wished the best for others instead of hoping they would fail then we would face a different world.
The question to ask is; what can be achieved with just a little more understanding of the world we live in? So let me illuminate you with another thought, people invest so much time in hating others that humanity has missed great opportunities. Opportunities that could have propelled him forward to such places that are still only of the imagination but if people are willing to come together monumental achievements can still be made; it just takes a simple belief. You can make a better society a better community if you are willing to believe in unity, in encouraging one another.
If you do not believe how difficult this task of unity is then ask yourselves how many times a day you judge others and are judged by others probably too many; in a world that should be by now tolerant understanding and elevated there is still too much condemnation, too much bitterness, too much selfishness where there should be love.
I would now like to take you back to the myth where people thought only 10% of the brain is being used. And that there is a lack of understanding of how nature works. Once more let me illuminate you with an idea about how nature works. This is my theory and should not be taken as fact. There is something that I have called a generational memory, an almost generational brain you can see it in nature, when ants cross a river they build a bridge from their bodies; when monkeys use tools they are taught to use them, perhaps this can be applied further; when plants and animals develop natural defences, natural toxins they are past down through adaptation and through the generational memory - the generational brain of the animal or vegetable. In the same way humanities brain has the capability of storing up generational information not just characteristics as held within its DNA, but stored memories held within the subconscious mind that might be buried deep within that only surface when they are triggered. The human brain may be the keeper of generational memories. Since all are connected it becomes possible then for any to be a genius like Heron.
That is why I ask who mourns for Heron of Alexandria because since that time, there have been many people like Heron who had the ability to take that leap forward but were discouraged from doing so.

Bigger Tree Wood
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_569ZGSDvok&feature=plcp
Bigger Tree Wood is a Euphemism for the Bigotry in our world and you do not need to guess who the monkeys are. There are many types of Bigotry one of the worst kinds is class bigotry it is as pernicious as racism and all come under the umbrella of Hatism.

A Hoody's Paradise

There is an entire social group who being uncared for since birth have never known the goodness of life. They do not know love and feel anger resentment and bitterness and they do not understand themselves or why they are so alienated from society. And society all societies everywhere are inhibited not understanding the need for compassion and love that these groups and within them individuals need and it is for this reason such groups and people remain isolated. There is a greater need today for love than ever before so I have one thing to say to you Love others the way you would wish to be loved by others xx

Will You Dare To Dream
We live in an age where only a small number are educated to a higher degree
That is a waist, a waist of human potential, each and everyone of you are capable powerful spiritually impregnable but you do not see it. Instead there is a large majority who in their rush to be the highest are willing to stoop to the lowest. Instead of encouraging exalting promoting one another you promote yourself and those close too. And those called strangers you treat as alien as though they are disconnected to you. The world does not turn by the few but by the many. The more educated a society the more that civilisation becomes a greater more unified nation; only states in their infancy cannot realise the benefit of mass opportunity. If you allow a few to control the desires of the many, then the many become fractious, combustible this has been proven throughout history and should have been a lesson learned. When the pyramids were raised they were raised by the many but who took credit for them do you hear people praise Egypt or the Pharaoh Khufu and throughout history people rather than nations or states are revered; would you hear of Rome without Caesar or of Greece without Alexander, Achilles, Agamemnon. Would you here of Britain without Shakespeare, Newton, Churchill. It is through great individuals that great societies are made your society needs you. You who others have made small are not small but mighty indeed. You can achieve dreams imaginings beyond what you or others perceive of you. First you must believe and not let discontent for what you were made into reign over you. Instead strive in the arts, in education, in the sciences, to build a better world not just for yourself for everyone. Let me enlighten, illuminate elevate you so that which has been kept from you is kept from you no longer. You can be an achiever without deception or intrigue you can accomplish most anything. Become the next Leonardo De Vinci, Michael Angelo, William Shakespeare, Isaac Newton, Albert Einstein, Steve Jobs, Mark Zuckerberg, Sir Tim Berners-Lee; the list is immense as are you; it is a grave misfortune that others instead of making you capable try to make you incapable. Every time someone diminishes you they are acting not for the good of the community but for their own personal self-interest and until such people realise the damage they cause their society they will always bring that society down. This often occurs in the home where those that have the authority to make a better individual serve up a platter of malcontent. There should be within every social group self-belief self-confidence self-determination. This is a modern forward looking world not a backward one. At this time societies should not be judgemental, intolerant, disunited. We are all connected one to the other. You are part of a universe of wonders and you are a wonder in that universe. You could be the person that cures cancer. You could be the greatest artist philosopher writer there has ever been. There is a creator in everyone but you must believe through the trials the adversities the failures that in the end you shall succeed. I believe in you, I believe you can make a better world. The world is less without your efforts. You have touched a Titan and you can reach farther still. You just have to understand that all those people that achieved greatness had a connection to you. And you have a connection to them. All things are built through dreams, and though people say do not make dreams your master or do not deal in dreams everything that has been conceived was a dream achieved. So be elevated illuminated inspired.
Thank you for listening.

Elitism or Love
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7q3w4Qk6RjA&feature=plcp
Elitism or Love asks the question are you an Elitist. In principle any that have their own personal agenda are behaving in an elitist manner. For what are elites, but closed shops that cater for only the priviledged few. They are not so secret societies where people conspire for reasons of self-interest. They can be found in your own home or even your neighbours. So the question is do people really dislike an elitist society because they are not a part of it? Or do they dislike it for how primitive it truly is? You need to ask yourselves why and who have you closed your doors to recently, and whether or not you closed those doors as an act of elitism? Do people live in Elites out of Love or because of a lack of it?
