DreamTime Here I Be 
|
Okay, so I was sitting around doing some thinking and I wondered why there were sayings like: "Only the good die young" or "the nice guy always finishes last" or "no good deed goes unpunished." What's up with those sayings? If there is Karma, then those sayings should not be true or even be said, and if there isn't any Karma then maybe we all need to get greedy, selfish and mean to get ahead. What a sad world that would be - oh wait - isn't that how it is now? I guess I need to get with the program.

Another saying I think that is strange is "you can’t have your cake and eat too". Why can’t you? People do it everyday. People have cake and eat it.

One I like is an ancient Greek saying pertaining to the quality of things which ARE CHEAP...That which is expensive is cheap, and what is cheap is expensive. Refering to the fact that if we buy something cheap we are bound to replace it due to fast-breakdown or fast-wear. Thereby having to replace it time and time again. Had we instead outlayed a bit more monies initially to obtain the higher quality 'item of equivilence' then it would NOT suffer such premature deaths thereby saving us from having to replace/buy it time and time again. At first, this saying seems strange, but when thought out it makes sense. If there is Karma, then those sayings should not be true or even be said, Karma is true DT but people are impatient. She often takes her time in making sure that her majik makes proper and most impact on the perpertrating subject. I feel that because people don't see her action a problem immediately that they feel she has failed, so hence such contradictive sayings and terms. But I know from experiance that in this life, ALL things are payed for before we depart. Karma makes no mistake nor does she play dice. For instance... she seems to have forgotten to act against subjects like the illuminati, but we should remember that they have lifespans that far exceed ours. In due course, before their natural days are over 'be it one way or another', when she deems it appropriate her glory shall make no mistake and will envelop them all. One fine day.

Nicely written Andrew, the problem with karma DT is it does not work on your action it works on your intention and reaction to the action, therefore those who are greedy, nasty and mean don’t hold a moral sense like you and I would, this is why you see others that seem to not be affected by the energy of karma, however like Andrew says it does eventually catch up to them, and usually in an emotional way. Once the thought has already entered your mind and you are outplaying that thought into action, the karma has already been received because karma is the energy of pre-thought – it is your individual intention. When you say to get ahead do you mean financially?

Well I sure hope that you are right, Andrew, because there are a few people who really need a 'karma check' in my circle. I just hope I see it before I depart.

DT, while on the subject of "confusing sayings" have you ever thought about the nursery rhymes and children's stories. Cinderella's mom died and left her with a stepfather and 2 mean stepsisters who treated her like a slave. Snow White had to deal with a wicked witch and poison apple. Jack and Jill ==Jack fell down and broke his skull. Lullaye "rock a by baby" the bough broke, the cradle fell and down came baby cradle and all. Wizard of Oz, Dorothy had a wicked witch and a tornado to deal with. Also had no parents, just Antie Em. Poor Little Red Riding Hood had a big, bad, wolf. I could go on but you get the picture. This society starts the negativity and fear at a very early age.

One night, many years ago, I thought I heard Bush say "War is peace"....  ... um, Mr. Bush - that doesn't make any sense.

Yes, Blue Moon, those are some scary things for kids, but kids do not find those scary any more. They have bigger and better things to be scared of. And, come to think of it, I never found those scary either. I don't remember what I did find scary, but it must have been bigger and better.

BlueMoon , Most older nursery rhymes were originally political jabs and jingles etc. How they ended upin the nursery is left up to the imagination perhaps.

I don’t know if this goes for everyone, but talking about the nursery rhymes made me think that when I was a kid, I would do just about anything to be scared, I would actually look for it, or put myself in positions where I would be frightened and then my friends and I would laugh about how scared we all were, but as adults we avoid being scared at all costs, thoughts anyone?

Children stories, songs, etc. can be programming techniques. Children stop reacting to them because they are desensitized but the fear and negativity are always in the subconcious. I just can't think of any other reason why nursery rhymes and things geared to children are not happy stories without violence (watch their cartoons).....???????

BlueMoon, The original nursery rhymes as I mentioned were political satire and/or comment. At the time they originated most people neither read nor wrote. Thus the tradition of bards/storytellers. Like all master/slave situations information is controlled. Those working class/peasants who had access to information needed a way to to convey to the masses the info, issues ,conditions etc. at hand. I would think a few were coded to an extent but they weren't specifically designed for programming such as we have come to know it. To be sure I know of one or two that were later ,in the 20th century, used in specific programming. On another note it is a positive thing to be conscious of what and how often we expose our children or are exposed ourselves to. You might be surprised at who allow their children to do or have just what they have criticized publicly.  This is my issue with the understanding of programming as many who visit this website(no fault of this site) have come to view it or understand it. It leads to ,and IMO deliberately so, a degree of paranoia and fear that keeps the individual off center and thus easily controlled. IMO it would greatly benefit folks to do a study of herd /family behavior in cattle, sheep, wolves etc. Any species that is social . I can assure you that the programmers have done just that and even some have even spent a great deal of time working with such critters.

AJ: I don't know about everyone, but I still like to be scared. Guess that's why I like horror movies - but not the slash and gore ones. They are just gross, not scary.

DT, Why do you think that you like being scared? What makes us want to be frightened? It is an interesting subject, do you think it is the after affect of actually being scared that we look for?

I hate being scared. I used to get so tense watching horror and deeply intense (example--Silence of the Lambs)mind game movies, that I completely stopped watching all of them. A couple bothered me for days. AJ, your theory is a good one but I don't think it applies to me. The after effect of being frightened is disturbing for me.

I don't know why. I don't know why I like disaster movies either. I always tell Richard it is because I like to learn how to survive different things - and you know what - I think that is why I watch those movies. Maybe?

Bluemoon, Yes you are right, I believe there are two types of ‘after fear’ the ones who laugh after being frightened and actually enjoy it, but then there is the other ‘after fear’ that can make you angry, or more scared before you actually got a fright, your heart beating a hundred miles and the picture of what scared you remains in your thoughts. my daughter has an incredible fear of spiders and please we live in the country where spiders are as big as your hand, I also do not like spiders but I have tried to work on her overcoming this fear, she is getting better and not afraid of small ones, just the big ugly ones, but the ‘after fear’ is fear like you have never seen, the scream just rips through your whole inside, it is like she is going to die, and like you say very disturbing. DT, Do you think disaster movies create fear? They usually have a good ending and the US is always the country that saves the world, I can understand your answer and it makes sense to me, but they are not horror are they?

Oh yes, AJ, I do think that disaster movies create fear in people. I think it creates the basic fear in all of us. The fear of something you can not control - nature. But, I also do like regular horror movies as long as there is not too much blood and guts. I like more psycological horror. Oh and BTW: I also HATE spiders. I think I would really freak out at your house.

I remember freaking out at a disney movie at young age, pluto was playing around some place and he was walking along. Something was following him, and as he reached a mirror a big angry tiger stared back at him I got seriously spooked. So did pluto and he walked on while the tiger started to sneak up behind him, I remember the tigers eyes scared me a great deal And sharks, always had a fear of sharks It has calmed down since getting access to animal planet though..Sneaky creaturesIs it not the same thing as with rollercoasters, exitement?
