To be made useful :: Marco's code = 1- 2 - 3 principles

1- Happiness is intelligence leaving the body.

2- Intuition is an effigy of your secret identity turned into language.

3- Fight with the heart of a lion.

==============

If all person's are meant to be made useful is it not the same as to be made of use. This is what Plutarch suggests? If all people are meant to make themselves useful, than is it not the same as being put to 'good' use. If all this follows: the idea is to make use of oneself, then it contradicts the nature of purpose. What is our purpose if it is not meant to be? (Our personal destiny). Rewind = to make use of oneself is above all else an enigma. What then justifies our actions on the basis of making use of ourselves. What governs our actions if not aware of our method in questioning. Questioning = what is of use?

My point is there are varying degrees of thinking how useful we are in terms of what we ask ourselves IS useful. I can be a cook. Not a good enough cook to be a chef. But I pretend to be a cook? (According to Plutarch.) My logic suggests being a cook at McDonalds is of use. Unless my virtue dismisses someone else who does not think this way. The way I think of this: is that a McDonald's cook is worth something of use.

False pioneering Complacency: growing old again

 November 12, 2009

I love the sight of a shooting star, because I can believe at that moment in time, I am the one to have witnessed it - only. Perhaps, that is the same way most people would attribute, defining the moment, which is too hard to miss since it is so much faster than you are to have seen such a light. I also suppose so much is true, that nothing is geometric, before you realize the world we live is looking down on us?

I've had no problem integrating my sense of consciousness through a different kind of awareness, that type of thinking which goes against modern convention.

I find it harder each day to reveal what may be my purpose in life, it has it's beginnings and in another manner of speaking, there is no end in sight. I suppose it is an internal will that I've allowed myself to explore, after a real kind of self-interest takes shape? There is so much that I see happening, which most people fail to realize, is undoing my belief's of unchanging principles.

I am not a creationist per se, but what I am aware of after finishing this article in self-examination, that I anticipate? Before we arrived on this planet, as humans have evolved, there was nothing but energy which somehow transmitted itself into what we do have today. Most of it hasn't manifested into a perfect form of energy, but an imperfect majority of plants and animals we use in our environment. It points me to one thing: that I am not psychological in my silent nature, I am neglected indicated from an intention that many are not attune to. It is a way of emitting what is lost must be found in some true explanation of a cerebral value which no material entity can survive. It is a braver archetype of intense outcomes dealing with freedom.

Irrelevance Day is every November 11th

 Got to love how Remembrance day is commodified into the mass subconscious when the reality of it is brain washing how the avg citizen is suppose to fall over for what the human condition actually is accordingly. Since when does a war that is the catalyst of the industrial revolution suppose to make me thankful. Fuck the hell off with that shit. 

 

That is what we are celebrating - a branding of how we celebrate war as if it equates to freedom. 

 

Got to love how the avg. person fails to decide that for themselves, but latches onto the mythology of soldiers fighting for freedom in the name of god - when nothing about it is sacred whatsoever.

 

Think about it. The US Army is the epitome of rational divide and you care to enable that?? Is how we react to differences in the global mosaic supposed to signify hope and symbolize peaceful practice or participation.

 

Pass this on.

 

(Or feel free to be blind to all of what you just read.)

===========

I have a very different idea of myself in the global mosaic, but I can appreciate what I read when it comes to reminding me of what is important. I do not believe in death as a mortal coil that we must personify if I am to live a life of freedom. True freedom in my eyes is if I have afforded my own prejudice at no cost to anyone else or protecting myself from discrimination before it reaches its height shows tolerance - that is what I take pride in.

Facebook

Why are you calling them assailants? Assailant is defined as one who attacks or is hostile. They weren't protesting. The guy is a 5 year veteran there to be part of the ceremony. We should respect the sovereignty of their nations and respect their flag. Natives fought along side our canadian troops wars going way back as allies.

There is no procedure here either. Police are not allowed to just remove and arrest people in silence in this country. What is this, Egypt?? There was no offence in the video, and even if there was, an officer is obligated to inform a person of the charge if they ask. These officers just say silent and remove someone from the public for what seem like political reasons. That is not a free democracy and a violation of our rights.

===============

Did I call them assailants. No, what I did was defend them as potential assailants. Huge difference. (Because that is exactly how the officer treated them!!) My point is assailants can be victimized which in this case the victim IS being treated as an assailant. If that logic seems twisted to you - then I am a monkey's uncle. That is my reasoning (which you are allowed to disagree with.)

In terms of procedure, Jeff, I agree with you. I took a position as the Crown would have to administer. (Therefore I use the term assailant.) In the eyes of the court, that is how they would be treated, as though a mock cause.

I am on your side, Jeff. Read it again.

I have to make it clear - I do not use the term assailant without just cause - it is the very reason I used the term- to defend them. TO DISPROVE it. If the court were to characterize them as assailants, then they have to prove their guilt. Once the precedent is set that they are not assailants, it takes my clever tactic to ensure the crown is acting in good faith.

MY dissertation is a theoretical device. If I were a lawyer it is exactly how I would draft my proposition.

To tremble in fear

 The precursor for reality.

It is something that fuels me.

As reality in my mind would suggest all that is normal.

Becomes some kind of effigy in terms of shock value.

Drama in the courtroom?

What of it?

That trial and error that runs through your mind.

The mind of all your weaknesses, 

that you lack self esteem and have insecurity of.

To tremble in fear.

Like you are the best player on the field,

everyone watching your every move.

How does this make you react?

This is an inferiority complex as I would have it

- though no one wants.

Is it that obvious to the audience?

That my inferiority is a symbol.

A symbol.

To mock the world with,

with my incredible sense of guilt.

To process and presume the justice of purging my senses.

Into a fascination of some other world.

Some other dimension in time.

Rewind. . .

Fast forward.

Rewinding, recording every movement,

every thought.

Each memory wiring the past into visions of a future,

and what it might hold.

Perhaps, perhaps this time around. . .

I will have found.

Found that precious action I must have made in life.

The right action to have taken my life in a different direction.

Yet, not feel like a suicide.

As I said before, 

suicides are like an inferiority complex gone.

Gone to the birds.

So it is there I am.

I fly.

Fly to distant shores of my youth cradled into one.

(I write to record what may have been.)

A destiny unlike any other word ever seen before.

The world make-believe's itself to be true.

And the greatest of virtues is a logical transposition of mind.

It takes genius to find.

 As an avid fan of Russel Crowe, he will be passed on winning an Oscar for his role in Nuremberg. (If only because he has won it before.) But - I'd be happy to see if Crowe's performance lands him his 2nd Oscar, because ironically this is Crowe's best work since his last best actor nomination since 2001 'A Beautiful Mind' = which Denzel Washington won that year. I look at movies from the perspective of an actor and what esthetic it offers based on the same merit from the acting involved. Crowe nails this.

I find the subject matter riveting, as I focused on the pivotal performances/interaction between Malek's portrayal of a psychiatrist in this film and Crowe.

In my personal experience, the acting is on point, however it is that Hollywood adaptation which begs for more.

I can't blame either Malek or Crowe, not mailing in their work, for the same reason that a psychiatrist/patient relationship does not move that fast in ordinary time. Therefore, to compound this into a fictional sense does not give the impression for more. What I mean is, there's a dynamic to be had between patient and a doctor, which if the dynamic is so quickly made just seems counter intuitive to the degree it suggests. This dynamic I speak of just whistles through. So as an objective observer, I don't know how sincere this doctor/patient relationship is.

That is how this movie would have benefitted. If it was a film that centered in on the relationship between Crowe and Malek, which seems glazed over to make it a more dramatic unbelievable piece of cinematic history. This film deserves the Oscar. No one is the wiser.

The act of being Canadian

Any chance rationalizing another countries fascism can only be caused by the same stupidity made up in their sad ironic minds.  I don't feel sorry for anyone travelling to the US.  Canadians need to stay out of the US. Period.  Boycott.  Boycott. Boycott.  

I have zero respect for people (even I know) that travel there knowing how hostile their president is.  It's disgraceful for any Canadian to go into the US.

And you know something else.  My point is I live in a country with no double standards.  If an American cares to come here, by all means, do.  I want a mosaic.  Not xenophobia without a culture for all.  Basic standards of decency seem to be lost in the chaos.  Not populist.

Canadian woman, 20, outraged after being banned from flying to see her grandparents in Florida

Story by Sonya Gugliara For Dailymail.Com

A Canadian woman has claimed that she was barred from entering the US because customs officers unjustifiably flagged her as a suspicious traveler. 

Julia, who chose not to share her last name, had been looking forward to her six-week-long trip to Orlando, Florida, to visit her grandparents. 

The 20-year-old is on a break from her studies until the spring and is unemployed, so she figured now would be the perfect time for a vacation. 

But she told CTV that her plans went terribly awry when she approached US Customs and Border Protection (CBP) Preclearance at Pearson International Airport in Toronto. 

What was supposed to be a standard round of questioning allegedly turned into an interrogation, and agents brought Julia into a separate room. 

'I was starting to hyperventilate a bit, because I was nervous that something was going to happen. Then I’m told I’m denied entrance into America,' she claimed to CTV. 

Julia alleged that she was held back from boarding her Porter Airlines flight because the agents believed she was attempting to move to America illegally. 

'I have no interest of ever living in America,' she bluntly told the outlet. 

Disappointed and confused, Julia said she was sent home from the airport with nothing but a checklist indicating why she was barred from entering the US.

Officers claimed Julia failed to provide proof of a return flight to Canada, but CTV reviewed her itinerary and her return flight booking. 

US Customs had also requested proof of either employment or schooling, Julia said, both of which she was unable to hand over because she does not have a job and is not in school. 

'It felt like a bit of abuse of power, honestly,' Julia's distraught mother, Kate, told CTV. 

Julia, who traveled to visit her grandparents in February with no hiccups, said she is worried that she will run into similar travel issues in the future. 

Although she was fully refunded by Porter Airlines, her mother is furious and wants other Canadians to know that they run the risk of being blocked from entering the US. 

'It can have financial repercussions, as well as emotional. If our story helps any family avoid it, that would be great,' Kate told CTV. 

'I think a lot of people are boycotting travel to the US, and after this experience, I’m all for it.'

Julia's experience is far from unique, Immigration lawyer Heather Segal told CTV. 

'US immigration takes their orders from the top and when there’s a more anti-immigration sentiment in the country, they have all the tools to use at their discretion in a negative manner,' Segal said. 

'Some of the politics between Canada and the US play out at the border.'

The attorney said that in recent months, she has heard of an increasing number of Canadians facing extensive questioning about the purpose of their trips.

She also alleged that US Customs agents have been demanding to review more documents from travelers. 

The Daily Mail has reached out to CBP for comment. 

Social commentary to the world's hypocrisy isn't everyone's cup of tea.  As if speaking only debunks a dogma.  This through unsuccessful negation, as it does not nullify the main premise (harmony) following use of false antecedents.  Nor does this watered down model codify, what acts validly quantifiable.  Purifying the world is not about fairytale's to some magical island. 

What agrivates me personally, is much the same philosophically inquiring what results, for example, what informs punishment vs reward as westernization to that end.  Philosophy should be meant as remittance to our grievances.

In conclusion, on what planet would Werner suggest harmony be?  Where hostility, chaos and murder are refuge to a greater version of Hegelianism.  If you read this and don't see the difference, than why bother believing a word that Herzog implies.  Herzog is selling us what we are blind of.  I get it.  But this exercise in submission is to quote a fragile loser.  Which is to read it, and subvert it.

- Marco

So suggesting Werner creates a character where the fictional element offers a protagonist. The protagonist lets say for sake of argument, has been done before. We can use James Camron's 'Terminator' as our example to that effect. My point is: if the same social commentary has been done before. Herzog is having his say, albeit looks different. In Terminator the protagonist is a machine exhibits chaos, hostility and murder. There is nothing that motivates the human mind more than the average inferiority complex we place upon ourselves as a mirror to the world view we possess in others. That is harmony. Our human condition. (Let's not bullshit here.) Herzog is either commiting theft of an idea without further investigation or we can call it, see it, for what it is. A fabricated lie. Show me something that tells me about the human condition such as in philosophy, demands challenge. That is a clear issue for the audience to personify. Herzog stirs emotion typical of a topic that's been beaten.

Cognitive Consonance Theory

 Recent neuroscience reveals a fascinating truth: attention shapes reality more than perception does. Your brain doesn’t act like a camera recording every detail—it actively edits experiences to match what you focus on.

When you concentrate on certain aspects of your environment, your brain amplifies those details and filters out the rest. This selective processing helps you navigate the world efficiently but also means that what you notice and remember is influenced more by focus than by objective reality.

This has powerful implications for learning, decision-making, and even emotional wellbeing. By directing your attention intentionally, you can improve memory, enhance productivity, and even shape your emotional experiences. Conversely, distraction or negative focus can amplify stress, anxiety, or cognitive biases.

Mindfulness and deliberate practice are key tools to harness this principle. Training your brain to notice what truly matters allows you to “edit” reality in a way that supports growth, creativity, and clarity. Essentially, controlling where your attention goes gives you the power to influence how your world appears and feels.

============

Whether the theoretical framework related to focus with attention is true or not. Our cognitive faculties are wired to assess the environment. These instincts we have are to shape what action we take apriori of that action itself.

This is neurological in its most basic understanding of the processes our brain goes through.

It is the same as undergoing a scientific hypothesis to reach a conclusion. = Trial and error. We go through a series of how we think the world functions and is programmed to behave, if it matches our expectation of a certain outcome. If that prediction does not qualify as specific match, do our brains wire. It is a circuitry we undergo and the better aware we are. The more we focus on what may have happened. The attention to details is that effect we have if what dictates terms, such as language we write. Once language is processed. It reveals something we never thought we knew as possible.

In conclusion: If predictions were made in order to rewire our understanding of the world, then we wouldn't regulate our actions. We would continue in doing the same thing over and over again. Without ever correcting what we may have thought, if good or bad, such as what governs our behavior. Think of it as cognitive dissonance vs divergent thinking.

Physicists in Copenhagen have observed a phenomenon that seems to bend time itself. Experiments show that particles can change their past state depending on how researchers measure them in the future. This paradox, known as retrocausality, suggests that cause and effect may not always flow forward.

In the experiment, a photon traveled through a set of detectors. The decision of how to measure it was made later, yet that choice influenced the photon’s earlier state. It’s as if the universe anticipates the choice and adjusts history accordingly. Scientists describe this using quantum superposition: until a decision is made, the past remains undefined. Once a choice occurs, the past seems to “fill in” to match it.

This challenges our everyday understanding of time. Particles do not separate past and future; they exist in a state where all moments are connected. If retrocausality is real, then every decision we make might be shaping history itself, not just responding to it.

Skeptics remain cautious, but the findings open the door to one of the strangest possibilities in physics: the past is not fixed until we decide what it will be.

°•○●☆••

So if we cheated or deceptively practice our way through life. What if all we are doing is chasing rainbows without thinking about our fateful destiny's? It sounds more if I personally do not do enough. Enough to change. Change, as in order to alter my course in life. If I look into my past, then the past decision is to blame. If I summon the strength and courage of being at fault. Therefore, my current actions will result in the past. The past informing my decision. My personal decision making becomes a sign of past performances for human error. Human error stood as failure. That course in time, during which the period (unit of time) became a me. The me. Me being me. A factor in time that irony seduced me, the me, the same me - that caused human error. This informs my unconscious me into a conscious I. The I, I program and participate.

I participate in learning what my me transferably traded once, before anything took precedent.

In conclusion: the I acts as a participle in reason. Reasoning of a psychologically manufactured I. The me is me instead of my past motivated influence over the I. The I which transcends all thought as if you are a felon from birth. Only you correctly interpret it by connecting the past into future outcomes. What once made me a felon. The future dictated my course of action. Now my past having acted as a felon is freed from future actions.

Actions attached to the past, made in the past, now morph into a redefined more enlightening set of actions. Actions before you know they happen.

 A TREE IS KNOWN BY ITS FRUITS AND A TECHNIQUE IS KNOWN BY WHAT IT ACHIEVES.

From: Osho, The Invitation # 21. Thanks to Rajiv Singh

 In your honest opinion, what do you think is the main cause of ADHD?

Cause? What cause. We make difficult things for most people that don't have ADD, only because ADD people make things effortless. It's non ADD people that take a default position, and don't want to be made inferior. When you get the inferiority complex as the main element, to that effect, your awareness is enough to compromise how the game is played. Most ADD types have revolutionary DNA in their genetic makeup. In today's day and age self regulation of ADD types, also means that while we pretend not to know better, everyone else is stuck using crayons. We take crayons. They break them. We create. They cheat. It's all allowed. The presence of an ADD mind is to subvert the pattern. We are not normal because the normal we play is an inconvenience to those without an ADD mind.

I guarantee you^ = an ADD mind is process this in one manner. "Yep. That can't be true." But sitting there knowing it is. As I said, it is an inferiority complex that your higher self must abduct and convert in a conscious effort. I have learned in my time as having been since diagnosed, that the signs are all there.

We are talented beyond the average mind.

Jennifer Aniston's Boyfriend Jim Curtis Has A Beautiful Advice For People Seeking Love in 40s!

Jennifer Aniston just did something that sent the internet and all her fans into a frenzy. She hard launched her beau, Jim Curtis, on Instagram. Yes, Jennifer Aniston did that. The one who made headlines decades ago for her marriage to Brad Pitt, and who for years has remained Hollywood’s most eligible (and most beloved) single woman. For fans who secretly rooted for a Jennifer-Brad reunion, especially since Brad’s separation from Angelina Jolie, today’s post was a joyful surprise. No cryptic captions, no soft hints, no leaks. Just a confident, glowing 56-year-old Jennifer Aniston embracing this new chapter with authenticity.

So, who is Jim Curtis, the man who has brought love back in Jennifer’s life? Jim isn’t from the Hollywood - he is a wellness coach and hypnotist, someone who’s been vocal about emotional healing, personal growth and the power of love. In a recent Instagram Q&A, when asked how to find love at 42, Curtis’s response felt refreshingly grounded - “Same as you do at 22 and 32, but with more confidence, more experience and more authenticity.”

He went on to say something that resonated deeply with people - “First love yourself and recognise that you are the perfect age and that life is not over at 42. When you are 62 and 72, you will look back at 42 and wish that you were that age.” There’s something beautifully real about that advice, especially in a world that often equates youth with how desirable you are. Jim’s words and Jennifer’s choice to share their relationship publicly feel like a quiet rebellion against that narrative.

Finding love after 40 has long been painted as a near-impossible task. By then, most people have gone through their fair share of heartbreaks, grown professionally, perhaps raised kids and learned a few lessons about what they don’t want. The idea of opening your heart again can feel daunting and even indulgent. But maybe that’s exactly when love can feel the most meaningful - when you meet someone with clarity, not chaos.

Jennifer’s journey is also somewhere a reminder that timing is everything and sometimes, love blooms best when you have stopped searching for it. Her relationship history has always been under the world’s microscope, yet she’s never let that define her. Through it all, she has kept her humor, her grace and an almost meditative focus on her own well-being, something that explains what attracted her to someone like Curtis.

So yes, Jennifer Aniston has found love, not the dramatic Hollywood kind, but something real and calm. And in doing so, she’s given everyone who has ever thought it was 'too late' a reason to smile. Because, as Jim says, “When you love yourself, you will magnetise more love to you.” And clearly, that’s exactly what Jennifer has done. So if you are looking for love in your 40s or 50s, let's begin with an affirmation that Curtis often speaks about - I release resistance, restore resilience and radiate renewal.

Marco Almeida

You don't fall from grace at 20.  Not even in your 30s.  When you learn to be the person you want, you're an untouchable.  That is how - how most people fake their way through life, without realizing or near effortlessly spending the first 40 years in life [their] self awareness is plastic.  (i.e. superficial) Everything that each generation goes through is all branded into "earning-a-living" per se.  Not to search for what is normal, or rather, what acts as best for ourselves personally.  Truth, is a symbolic gesture when looking into oneself.  The pursuit to some other kind of functioning ideal.  This is in fact non-existential.  The crisis is not as this article plays itself.  How things work out in the end, if you know how to trust your self-made inhibitions, is about mystery, faith and sacrifice.   - Marco

Guilt by demonstration

Do we have an ability which is to see things as they are = to act. (Psychological::courage)

[Or]

Do we see things that we know to be true or not as we see them = to observe. (Empirical::wisdom)

Signs in curious dismissal

 What is more important:

1- the actions you see

2- the actions you take

The absolution of (a) sin (b) confession (c) intent

 Random thought: will a confession absolve guilt, in your opinion?

°●●°●°●°●°°▪︎▪︎°▪︎°

That is a great question. Confession in religious context is a consent of sin not that which absolves guilt, because in practice you are admitting to a cause of personal intent. If you're an idiot, you admit to murdering someone. But if done in private you no longer need to be absolved? The result of confession is to meditate on forgiveness. If you have the courage. Then do you reset. And you admit to the act.  

Such can be said. Said for a varying degree of guilt and intent.

If you are in reservation of having been racist, for example, to that end - not as foul as Murdering someone. But to purge oneself into admitting their wrongdoing, confession is the ultimate test of will.

- Marco

°●°○°○○°○°○°

 I suppose my educated understanding is we all already would agree that murder is wrong. However, when under the confession of guilt, does what I infer as the element of confession whereby the intent is to purge ourselves of fear, remorse, shame or guilt actually rid us of the evidence we are at fault. If we are at fault or not stems from a personal virtue which I would call on as arriving at all degrees of logic. What one would forbid themselves to do may not be a connection to their guilt. In fact, the truth is in only what, as you've stated, is a point of direction to something we don't know. I like to think of myself in that sense, that I don't know what direction I am heading. Many words come to mind. Such as rules based theory, where if I break the law. Where is the moral code broken if I object, where my objectionable conduct under rules based theory falls to there being a reason for my actions. This takes on a personal self reflection altogether.

Friedrich Nietzsche warns you, saying:

"Do not fall victim to excessive idealism and believe that telling the truth will bring you closer to people. People love and reward those who can soothe them with illusions. Since ancient times, humanity has only punished those who speak the truth. If you want to stay among people, share their illusions. The truth is spoken only by those who are ready to depart."
