Respect for Nature in general since we all breathe the air, the nature of the universe. universal principles .

The Kybalion: Hermetic Philosophy

Kybalion levels, this principle states that there is no such thing as chance, but rather that chance is undiscovered law, organization in the chaos.

Ouroboros represents the cyclical nature of things, eternal return, and other things perceived as cycles that begin anew as soon as they end. (Cycles of Time)

In some representations the serpent is shown as half light and half dark, echoing symbols such as the Yin Yang, which illustrates the dual nature of all things, but more importantly, that these opposites are not in conflict.

I generally stay away from the zombie / hypnosis or mass programming box, because I would rather think for myself.
I often hear avid watchers of TV watchers say they are bored I think because TV steals their creativity away, or kept them from developing any creativity of their own.

Socrates teaches that a man "must know how to choose the mean and avoid the extremes on either side, as far as possible".

Socrates once said, "I know you won't believe me, but the highest form of Human Excellence is to question oneself and others

He believed he was a philosopher engaged in the pursuit of Truth, and did not claim to know it fully

He questioned the men of Athens about their knowledge of good, beauty, and virtue. Finding that they knew nothing and yet believed themselves to know much, Socrates came to the conclusion that he was wise only in so far as "that what I don't know, I don't think I know." Socrates' paradoxical wisdom made the prominent Athenians he publicly questioned look foolish, turning them against him and leading to accusations of wrongdoing.

inner voice that Socrates heard only when he was about to make a mistake. It warned him against mistakes but never told him what to do or coerced him into following it. guardian angel; they watched over mortals to help keep them out of trouble.

suggests that its origin is divine, mysterious, and independent of his own thoughts.

If we share similar interests etc feel free to message me, or comment on my blog, favorite me, but keep in mind I Created this profile for the purposes of keeping in touch, reconnecting with old friends, seeing how people are doing that I went to school with, or getting to know even people I've seen around school, but maybe didn’t quite get around to getting to know

Because I had way to many people added I will have to discriminate more with who I add with this profile by primarily only electing people who I went to school with at least for this particular profile, so it is not very likely to be personal to you when I very likely don’t add you , but rather based on my policy.

HOWEVER you can add me to my other profile linked below which is geared more towards the politics of health, general awareness, and things I think are important.

http://www.myspace.com/totalawarenessx

I enjoy , things that improve better life, well being, supporting positive causes, seeking truth and freedom in general.

I am very passionate about TRUE health and fitness. Physical health is only one aspect of health and ones being. Others include mind body & spirit. Health for me is about increasing my energy (enriching life) and NOT vanity, or trying to impress others

Some get the wrong impression I must spend allot of time working out, but the truth is I spend very little time working out. About 30-40 minutes only 3-4 days a week. Concentrated workouts rather then long slow ones.. All aspects of your being mind body and spirit effect your whole being, and one area lagging will bog down other aspects of yourself. I use NO supplements, but Only use natural whole foods. (REAL food instead of pills) For more info check my link below

I think it's important to have a mind of your own, be a FREE THINKER, have the ability to ask the right questions, exercise critical thinking, and problem solving.

I think different then the mainstream programming & challenge everything and don't allow my thinking to be put in a box (Extreme far Left or right) , illusion of choice, double binds, staged arguments were the winner is predetermined to sway the masses . Think outside the box and be willing to look down the middle. Stick to the issues and principles of the matter.

“All deception tends towards self deception”

http://www.psitek.net/pages/PsiTekTMKS15.html http://www.psitek.net/ 30. Ask yourself a few questions and then reverently await the response; do you not now and then feel the self with you? Do you assert this self or do you follow the majority? Remember that majorities are always led, they never lead. It was the majority that fought, tooth and nail, against the steam engine, the power loom and every other advance or improvement ever suggested. The majority is always lead and they never lead

John Hancock

Hancock (January 12, 1737 (O.S.) – October 8, 1793 (N.S.)) was President of the Second Continental Congress and of the Congress of the Confederation; first Governor of Massachusetts; and the first person to sign the United States Declaration of Independence.

September 16 (OS), 1722[2]–October 2, 1803) was an American leader, politician, writer, and political philosopher, and one of the Founding Fathers of the United States

James Bowdoin (August 7, 1726 – November 6, 1790) was an American political and intellectual leader from Boston, Massachusetts during the American Revolution. He served in both the colonial council (senate) and house and was President of the state's constitutional convention. After independence he was governor of Massachusetts. Samuel Adams Adams stated that citizens should not get too caught up in the respect given to people in high positions, or the praise given to leaders. "This has led millions into such a degree of dependence and submission".[26] He went on to say that the people should believe in the constitution, not the leaders who dictate it. "Whoever, therefore, insinuates notions of government contrary to the constitution, or in any degree winks at any measures to suppress or even to weaken it, is not a loyal man."[25]
