THE ILLUSION OF THE SPECTACLE

  THE ILLUSION OF THE SPECTACLE https://www.spreaker.com/episode/the-illusion-of-the-spectacle--72183382 Are we truly building power, or are we just put on a show for a world that profits off our consumption? The ancestors told us long ago: "A heap see, but a few know." Right now, our culture is highly visible, but visibility without ownership is just a gilded cage. We look at the flash, the trends, and the status symbols, thinking we’ve arrived, while ignoring the machinery running behind the curtain. We are text-booking the illusion of inclusion while missing out on the actual ledger of power[cite: 1, 9]. True prosperity is a collective harvest, but we have spent too much time over-cultivating fields that do not belong to us. The tension is real: to build up our communities, we don't need to add more burdens or chase more systemic accolades. We need to look at what we must subtract to get back to our potent center[cite: 5, 7]. Call to Inaction "He who empties his ...

"Your Lever Is Long Enough"

I know that this sounds strange but the idea came to me as I was doing research and found a Greek philosopher by the name of Archimedes. Archimedes was quoted to have said "give me a lever long enough and a fulcrum on which to place it, and I shall move the world". In this modern time a lever and a fulcrum big enough to move the world has been presented to us all. The lever I'm speaking of is the internet. This lever if it is used properly can help you move your business, your personal life, and anything else you want to move. Through the social network aspect we can set up support networks for just about anything that we want, and leverage the information and inspiration that they provide. We can seek out information that just 10 years ago would have belong to a rare few, and use it on a daily basis to bring success, peace, and happiness into our lives if we choose to. The fulcrum in this idea is the devices that have been developed to experience the internet....

Positive Thinking Is Not the SECRET

Positive thinking/ Is only a small part in/ Building a great life/ Talk Nerdy To Me by Cara Santa Maria Click the link above to check out video that inspired this blog: There was a recent study that shows that positive thinking can actually be harmful to people using it. This video focused on the movie "The Secret" as well as self help gurus like Tony Robbins, and Eckart Tolle. The study states that positive thinking basically does not work, and is a form of avoiding the truth. This can be very harmful according to the study especially to people with terminal illnesses. Now I am a big supporter of science, but I will share my concerns. The issue is not that positive thinking does not work. The problem is that the scientist only studied positive thinking which is only a part of the process. Although the Secret movie stressed positive thinking, they also spoke about other steps necessary to make the process work. Now I will admit that the Secret movie als...
