  • The Balanced Path To Enlightenment

    by

    A balanced state of being is key to a proper mode of functionality. If one tilts too far into either extremes of chaos or order, then peril is sure to ensue. Too much orderliness then leads to tyranny which becomes the predominant driving force. On the other hand, if one delves too much into the realm of openness, then nihilism becomes the accompanying mode of being that drives the individual into a abysmal state of being.

    This concept of balance can be found within the teachings of both Christ and Buddha, as well as many other belief systems. And it is this way of balance, or middle way in Buddhism, that is a prerequisite to achieving a higher state of enlightenment.

    “And everyone who competes for the prize is temperate (balanced) in all things. Now they do it to obtain a perishable crown, but we for an imperishable crown.”

    I Corinthians 9:25 NKJV

    Avoiding both these extremes, the Perfect One has realized the Middle Path; it gives vision, gives knowledge, and leads to calm, to insight, to enlightenment and to Nibbana. -Buddha

    Even Christ Himself when teaching His disciples how to move mountains, (that which many believe to be a figurative notion, and yet Christ is speaking of a literal, physical mountain in the vicinity of Himself and His disciples) He claims that in order to achieve such a feat one must adhere to the practice of prayer, or properly put that of meditation, and fasting.

    “So Jesus said to them, “Because of your unbelief; for assuredly, I say to you, if you have faith as a mustard seed, you will say to this mountain, ‘Move from here to there,’ and it will move; and nothing will be impossible for you. However, this kind does not go out except by prayer (meditation) and fasting.””

    Matthew 17:20-21 NKJV

    Prayer, the stillness of one’s consciousness, is symbolically represented in the form of chaos, or better put, that of an inactive state of being. And yet, fasting, that is the act of sacrifice, is symbolically represented as a state of order, or an active state of being. It is only through the conjunction of these two modes of being working together that leads one to ascend to a higher state of consciousness. It is the working together of both inactivity and activity; chaos and order that helps an individual achieve another level of enlightenment.

    “Do you see that faith was working together with his works, and by works faith was made perfect? For as the body without the spirit is dead, so faith without works is dead also.”

    James 2:22, 26 NKJV

    Again, we see the same unifying dichotomy being exemplified in the book of James wherein he speaks of faith and works working together to help one achieve a higher state of perfection. His claim is that it is neither by faith alone nor works alone that one achieves ascension, but rather through the utilization of the two together that produces the fruit of the spirit and helps one ascend to greater heights. Faith here being represented as the inactive state of chaos, whereas works is represented as the active state of order; both of which are necessary in one’s ascent within their God given calling.

    On final note, this balanced and ascended way of life is not a simple, linear path as one might think in our modernized and rationalized western minds today might perceived, but rather it is an continual adaptive way of being that is best depicted within the middle way of the Yin Yang represented previously. The middle way here is represented in a snake like pattern to help the observer better understand that the way of life and the way of an ascended, balanced path is a continuous adaptability between the manifestation of chaos and order as they present themselves at each passing moment. This notion, of course, also suggest the present awareness of the individual in the moment as they combat, learn and adapt to what God presents them with at any given moment in the passage of time. And this adaptability is also what helps one grow, mature and ascend overtime.

  • The Fallacy and Toxicity of The Fat Acceptance Movement

    by

    The fat acceptance movement (Cooper, C. 2008), a developed trend beginning in the 1960’s, and a faction of the body positivity coalition, is the promotion of the overweight and obese population in America. This reprehensible movement seeks to negate the negative effects of being obese and overweight by downplaying the severe health consequences both short and long term,  including heart disease, diabetes, cancer, impaired cognitive functions, reproductive problems and more (Cafasso, J.,  Bell, A. 2022). According to the CDC (2020), approximately 74% of Americans are either overweight or obese, and the American obesity rate among the adult population is at a staggering 42.5% with a surmountable climb from 31.4% just 20 years ago (Fryar, C., Carroll, M., Afful, J. 2020). The acceptance and promotion of being overweight and obese is not only fallacious, but is detrimental for both individuals and society as a whole.

    Just recently, Sports Illustrated featured an obese model, Yumi Nu, on their cover to help promote varying body types, and yet the famed psychologist, Jordan Peterson, called them out on their propaganda of trying to persuade the general population into redefining beauty by attempting to make being obese not only acceptable, but something to admire. This same attempt has been seen on various fitness magazines, TV shows, and commercials as well. That which is deemed a modern day conventional norm does not necessarily make it a correct and proper mode of being, especially if it is harming and ending the lives of both youth and adult population. What is being played out here is nothing but a mere attempt at playing a game of identity politics wherein everyone has a group in which they identify, regardless of its detrimental and catastrophic effects on the individuals that make up the group. The promotion and celebration of an unhealthy lifestyle and body composition is but mere wishful thinking, and is a direct pathway to a dystopian future for many generations to come.  

    Some of the contributing factors to the overweight and obese epidemic over the past few decades in America are quite clear. Over this time span there has been a dramatic increase in sedentary lifestyles among the general population (Yang L, Cao C, Kantor ED, 2016), and an increase in overall market place portion sizes that coincide with the increasing weight issue (Young, L. R., & Nestle, M.  2002). Alongside these two factors there has been an increase in the level of stress among the general population that has a strong link with weight gain and obesity, as well as many other various ailments (American Psychological Association, 2018). Moreover, increased stress levels can lead to overeating, or “stress eating,” which causes one to consume more calories than they are able to burn off and in turn leads to more weight gain.

    The issues contributing to the overweight and obesity epidemic in America that have been addressed thus far are deeply tied in with the modernization of society as a whole. With convenience at the touch of a button, and where comfort and entertainment consume the masses, alongside the ever increasing portion sizes, it is no wonder why we have a weight problem. Americans have become obsessed with constant entertainment, becoming easily distracted by sitcoms, social media, YouTube, and video games, all while neglecting their overall health and well-being. Most of what the general population digest, technologically speaking, are designed to “hook” the individual and rewire the brain so that the individual seeks to reward this new neural system each time they open the apps or turn on the TV. This addictive behavior is causing individuals to become more sedentary as they sit for hours bingeing their favorite show or playing games with little to no physical activity (Fotuhi, M. 2020). This bingeing behavior is not only sedentary in nature, but also manifest all sorts of other issues, including lack of proper sleep, increased cortisol levels, and often times social isolation, all of which help contribute to weight gain.

    America’s infatuation with convenience and constant stimulation, along with an increase in sedentary lifestyles, food consumption, and stress levels, are the culprit of America’s overweight and obesity problem. What can people and society do about this? First, do not accept or promote the acceptance of being overweight and obese. The acceptance approach is fatal for both the individual and society as a whole, and the more people promote this problematic idea, the more weight and health issues will continue to rise. This is not to say that people should be scorned for possessing a weight issue, but for one to promote it as both acceptable and beautiful is not productive for the individual or society. A society functions and progresses best when the individuals within the society are functioning properly and progressing towards better health both physically and psychologically. Second, people should rather be promoting health and wellness while encouraging others as they move along their journey towards freedom from severe ailments and immobility. The more people seek to enhance their lives by changing their pattern of behavior by moderating their consumption of technology and food, and begin to spend more time outdoors and active, the more they will improve their health and well-being. This improvement within an individual’s life will then touch the lives of others by helping influence the behavioral patterns of those around them, and thus improving the health and well-being of society. And the accessibility, thankfully, to an almost infinite source of information on improving one’s health and well-being are at the touch of a button on the same technological device the general population endears so much. A gradual, progressive transformation of the individual by utilizing one’s resources at hand is what progress is all about, and not an acceptable, stagnate mode of being as the fat acceptance movement promotes.

    Proponents of the fat acceptance movement seek to make their case by proposing the idea that it is the individual’s body and their choice to do with it as they will. Although this may be true, if one really did care about the well-being of others, they would not suggest and promote stagnation in a state of being that is detrimental to that individual and their descendants. This claim is not progressive in no way shape or form, and yet a progressive philosophy is that which they claim to possess. Another argument made by the fat acceptance movement is that some body types are different from others, such as people being “big boned.” This is a weak argument as it suggests that there is some correlation between a certain body type and being overweight and obese, and yet this is not the case. Some individuals can look thicker than others and not be overweight or obese, so this argument lacks any support for its claim. It is not strictly how someone looks, but rather how they feel and act in the world. Being healthy physically and psychology is the goal, and not necessarily how one’s appearance. Another argument promoted by the fat acceptance movement supporters is that modern culture’s focus on weight loss is essentially a means of controlling deviance. What is quite strange about this argument is the sheer fact that most of the fat acceptance movement advocates are generally politically liberal and shun the stigma of conspiracy theory, and yet this is precisely what they are proposing. They are promoting the idea of control from sources higher up in the political and social sphere, that which they claim is a bigoted proposal of the far right. Moreover, although some of weight loss programs are but mere rubbish, there is a wealth of diet programs out there seeking to help people live healthier, more productive lives, and that are scientifically supported to not only help individuals lose weight, but to help their over health and well-being. Certain diets like plant-based diets, the Mediterranean diet, and intermediate fasting are excellent examples of healthy means of achieving weight loss and better overall health (Raman, R., Kubala, J. 2022).

    While the fat acceptance movement seeks to push the acceptance of unhealthy body fat percentage and overall lifestyle, the evidence is stacked against them. With approximately 74% of the population either overweight or obese, and with much of this damage transpiring within the last few decades, it is easy for one to see that there is a problem that needs to be addressed rather than accepted. Moreover, the number of health effects one sustains when overweight or obese, including heart disease, cognitive impairment, respiratory problems, diabetes, cancer and more, it should prompt the general population to seek to encourage each other to live out healthier lives for the betterment of the individual and society as a whole. And there are a wealth of information in the palm of one’s hand to help them progress and improvement their overall health and well-being, and to be a source of influence and information themselves for others. With all of the fat acceptance movement’s arguments being addressed and resolved, one can conclude that their movement is but a weak attempt to live out the modernized life in the most comfortable of ways. And this type of promotion of laziness and cowardliness is but mere wishful thinking and a reprehensible attempt to convince others to stay in their unhealthy state, and to discourage them and direct them away from any type of transformation or progress. Not only should this movement be ignored, but it should be done away with along with its corrupted ideology. Health and well-being should be promoted for the betterment of the individual and the society in which the individual inhabits.

  • Redefining Success

    by

    The proclivity for people to relate success to that of wealth or fame can be demonstrated through surveys and the sheer willingness to nearly worship individuals that fall within this stratum. And yet, is this a proper way in which to define success? Webster’s dictionary defines success as a “degree or measure of succeeding,” or “the attainment of wealth, favor, or eminence.” Although this definition is part and partial of what defines success, there is still much more to it. The proper definition of success can be broken down into the utilization of five different factors, including IQ, personality, health and well-being, charity, and influence. When each factor is utilized properly, and then examined altogether and not in isolation, this overall summation is and should be what constitutes success.

    If we solely examine an individual’s wealth attainment or career success, this can only shed light on what would be constituted as isolated success and not the full scope of overall success. When one examines the factors of wealth and fame, it can be easily concluded that these factors are but mere byproducts of an overarching configurations of other factors embedded within an individual’s being that are utilized properly and have produced other attractive surface features that are indicative of success. And thus, a thorough examination of each factor is key in understanding not only what success is, but how one may go about achieving it in their life.

    When one seeks to utilize and maximize their potential regardless of what level within the IQ domain they dwell, they can do wonders within their careers, family life, and the lives of others by exemplifying how the maximization of their ability can do, and this is one of the key factors in what constitutes success. In our modern culture where sensitivity is part of the higher calling of the “greater good,” most desire not to speak of such things as IQ. And yet, this measurable feature of psychology is of great value for both the individual and society as it helps guide the individual to a proper domain of expertise tailored towards their particular level of IQ that is both not too challenging, as to destroy their perception of self-worth, but not too effortless as to drive one into stagnation and depression. This finely tuned tool of guidance not only benefits the individual utilizing it accurately, but whenever the individual is thriving so does the society that the individual makes up. This sensitivity to IQ measurements in which our modern culture cling onto is but a misperception of what IQ can do for the individual and society alike. With some benefits already being presented here, there is also the benefit of one utilizing their IQ regardless of the finalized measurement.

    Personality is the next key factor in attaining success when an individual seeks to utilize their personality type by using the Big Five model; openness, conscientiousness, extroversion, agreeableness, and neuroticism. This personality assessment, alongside their level of IQ, can help situate an individual, not only in a particular domain that utilizes their IQ, but it also helps narrow the scope of expertise even further by placing the individual in a specific area of interest that correlates with both their personality and IQ level. This helps maximize their potential even more, and ultimately benefits themselves and society as a whole. This again is a vital factor of the constitution and attainment of success.

    Next, one needs to utilize their overall health and well-being to help them operate effectively and efficiently at their career, family life, school, leisure time, etc. Regardless of what type of ailments one may possess, it is of vital importance to utilize one’s health as much as possible through proper diet, exercise, meditation, and other forms of activity that promotes good health both physically and mentally. Seeking out and discovering various ways to tap into an individual’s physical and mental potential can help maximize chances of progressing further in whatever endeavor one engages in, and thus contributing to their overall pathway of success.

    Charity is another important factor that makes up the definition of overall success. The type of charity that is being referenced here is not accomplished solely through the means of financial contributions, but is also attained through the practice of kindness and love by helping others with certain duties or crisis situations. One can also seek to partake in relief programs, mission trips, and volunteer at a hospital or homeless shelter. Even little gestures of charity such as opening the door for others, helping someone that dropped items, acting politely towards others in public spaces are all acts of charity. Establishing relationship with others is another means of charity as one engages with another in an encouraging and supporting manner, which then helps regulate each person’s nervous system and emotional state of being, and thus act and function efficiently in the world. These acts of charity help others operate properly in the world, and thus helps society operate efficiently and effectively do to an individual’s acts of charity which contribute their overall success and the success of others.

    The final factor of success is that of Influence. As one puts together the previous factors mentioned, and they climb up the ladder of success, the potential for greater influence over others increases. With this increased influence, an individual can utilize its potential to help contribute to the greater good of humanity. There are various ways of accomplishing this utilization, and much of this depends on how much and what type of influence one possesses, and thus it will take some research and contemplating to maximize the efforts. In a generalized perspective, ways of influence can be accomplished through means of simple gestures, or more complex acts such as speaking events or books. Everyday people are influenced in one way or another by others higher up the dominance hierarchy through means of TV, books, articles, etc., and these influences often make an impact on the recipient that encourages them to move forthrightly into the world and make something of themselves. This action towards success for the recipient is not only attributing to their success, but for the perpetrator, too.

    Each factor contributes to one’s overall success when utilized and maximized properly. These factors not only help the individual orient and move towards success, but also to surrounding persons and more. By utilizing these factors, one is maximizing their potential instilled within them and projecting it out into the world to make a difference, starting with their own home to their community and beyond. And this well rounded approach of the utilization and maximization of one’s potential along with its effect on others, is the proper definition of what constitutes success.

  • The Antidote To Tragedy

    by

    With the much desire for change, that which the left believes should be accomplished at the gun control level, is but a simplified analysis and solution to the problem. The root of the issue is embedded within the culture of society and the heart of the individual. What we have been and are witnessing is the trend of an atheistic/nihilistic worldview that promotes meaninglessness, which, of course, promotes reprehensible acts as what has been displayed this week and numerous other times.

    If people so desire change as they claim, then seek to teach your children about Christ, and instill within them the values that support a sustainable society instead of what gender or sexuality they so desire with little conscience choice. Teach them to value life, and to love and respect others as having intrinsic value.

    What we have witnessed thus far is the result of the aftermath of the secularization of western culture beginning in the 1960’s, and it is only becoming worse. Christ is the antidote, and only a society and culture that humbly bows before him will reap the benefits. God bless all those affected by this tragedy and the numerous others that preceded it.

  • Directed Potential

    by

    Potential is deeply embedded within your being, and this potential also interacts with the potential that is embedded within our space-time continuum we inhabit. Both potentials exist within a wave-like state, and both are only activated into a particle-like state, that is of a tangible fabric of potential contention, through the act of conscious observation; that is the act of attention.

    This bizarre potential/observational activation sequence is evident within quantum theory, wherein experiments have revealed that the existence of reality as such is not activated except through the active observation and interaction of a conscious observer. Through this observational/interactive mode of being, the universe begins to manifest itself, and the potential future becomes a momentous reality.

    If you seek to activate your own potential into an objective state of being, you must then gaze your attention away from the distractions that disconnect you from both your potential and the actualization thereof. And rather you should seek to put forth full effort into our attentive conscious perception to harness the divine power of potential into prospective, habitable order.

  • Covid-19, Abortion, Choice, And The Adoption Of Responsibility

    by

    ,

    Proponents for abortion and Covid-19 vaccination seek to criticize those who use the term, “My body, my choice.” But are they the same thing and do they produce the same results?

    Abortion deaths: 44 million annually worldwide

    Heart Disease deaths: 18 million annually worldwide

    Covid-19 deaths: indirect deaths worldwide-1.8 million annually.

    Where does choice begin?

    Abortion: at the moment of conception, and not the choice to murder babies.

    Covid-19: everyday healthy living, and not being forced to breath in your own bodily fluids or take a bio-engineered vaccine.

    What is the difference between Covid-19 vaccine choice and abortion choice?

    Choice for Covid-19 protection begins by taking care of yourself properly; getting enough sleep, exercise, sunlight, antioxidants, etc. Choice for the abortion issue begins at the choice to sexually engage with another. And what right do you have to terminate a potential hero of the future because of your uncontrolled hormones? The diversion from responsibility does both the individual and the society the individual makes up no good.

    Choice is what an individual initially chooses; the foundational choice, if you will. Having sexual relations with another person with the foreknowledge of the possible outcome is the choice that abortionists seek to skip over. Ending a life out of your own selfishness is reprehensible beyond belief.

    Choosing to not live out a healthy lifestyle (the natural preventive measure) is a personal choice that an individual will have to live with along with its repercussions. Regardless of Covid, living an unhealthy lifestyle makes an individual susceptible to many life threatening issues, including that of heart disease, of which claims approximately 18 million lives annually. And yet, where is the demand from vaccine proponents to mandate people’s food consumption and lifestyle choices? 

    The issue for both the vaccine and abortion lies within two areas; that of responsibility of the individual and the desire for the utopian society. Both of these areas are the real pandemic. 

    Individual Responsibility:

    78% of Covid related hospitalizations are obese. Nearly 95% of Covid related deaths were obese. And as many as 80% of Covid death patients were found to have low vitamin D levels. So why should I have to get a bio-engineered vaccine that has already claimed over 13,000 lives with the possibility of much more than that? 

    These same people make the astounding claim that a person’s health and size shouldn’t matter as it is deemed offensive to confront people on an issue as such, and yet Covid and heart disease say otherwise. Too many contradictions among the pro-vaxxers and abortionists. 

    The question at hand here is, “Why should I risk my own health, that which I seek to enhance each and every day, being subjected to something that is bio-engineered in a lab, as well as a mask that suppresses my immune system for people that chose to deteriorate their own health willfully?”

    The argument to the previous question is that the vaccine helps stop the spread, and yet studies have shown that the vaccinated are spreading it more than the unvaccinated. Even with the vaccine people are being hospitalized and dying. And even with a decrease in symptoms while being vaccinated is no excuse to put something bio-engineered into your body.

    What is a vaccine? An engineered preventative measure. And yet, there are natural preventative measures as well as mentioned at the beginning of this article. People who live healthy lifestyles are subjected to less noticeable symptoms and less likely to die from Covid.

    And of course, at this point many like to point out when someone with no “underlying” conditions die, but that is not what I am referencing here. When someone is said to have no underlying conditions, that just means they have no underlying serious conditions that contributed to their death, and does not necessarily mean that they are healthy, at least not in the sense I am advocating here; what they consume, exercise they get, sunlight exposure, etc.

    Most pro-vaxxer proponents seek to bypass individual responsibility for a quick fix solution such as vaccines. And of course this argument is also the same as pro-abortion proponents; skip responsibility at the fundamental level and end someone else’s life in order that it doesn’t interfere with your own. And for those that claim the rape/incest abortion rights, those of which only make up 1% of abortions, need to really revise their argument.

    Am I saying that vaccines and other preventive measures unnecessary for the immune suppressed and elderly? Of course not, as my wife and I have our own personal experience with immune suppression during our daughters cancer treatments. But did we ask others to be vaccinated for our daughter’s sake? No. Did we ask them to be mindful when visiting? Yes. The rest was up to us and our faith in God; nothing is perfect and never will be until the return of Christ. Does this mean we should not do what we can to protect ourselves? If this question is still in question at this point, then I highly advise starting from the beginning to obtain your answer.

    The Desired Utopia:

    Beyond the uncanny devotion to dismantle individual responsibility, pro-vax mandate and abortion proponents alike seek to dismantle the idea of individual responsibility as apart of the tyrannical patriarchy, all while seeking to build a tyrannical utopian society filled with low IQ, thoughtless humans that are led about by their more primitive instincts. How safe is safe?

    My age bracket for the CDC Covid related deaths in America is from age 25-34, wherein a total of approximately 2,500 people died in the first year of the pandemic. Now let’s compare that statistic with death by car accidents within the same age bracket; annual deaths from car accidents in the US from ages 25-35 is approximately 10,000. My age bracket total annual deaths between the novel Covid-19 virus and car accidents is 4 times greater.

    Now, why would I get a bio-engineered vaccine? It stops the spread? No, vaccinated individuals have actually increased the spread of the Delta variant, and they are not only infecting un-vaccinated individuals at a rapid rate but their fellow vaccinated teammates.

    If health and safety is of such concern to pro-vaccine politicians and their followers, then why don’t we stop driving cars and walk and take public transport, instead? Why don’t these overseers and their minions demand stores and restaurants provide only healthy options and force people to exercise more to help combat the heart disease pandemic? Because it impedes on freedom of personal choice? Isn’t that what people who refuse the vaccine claiming as well? Why don’t these same people tell obese individuals to start slimming down or they will be forced to do so? Again, impeding on individual freedom and highly offensive? And yet they are quick to tear someone down for not taking a bio-engineered vaccine for a virus that is mostly killing off those that are elderly, immune suppressed, or obese. See the contradictions?

    What are the goals of most these proponents? As far as I can tell, Disney World. They are seeking a utopian society where everyone gets along and thinks the same, where no one questions anything, and where the dwarfs who follow secretively meet their demise. Conspiracy theory? Perhaps. And yet with much of biblical prophecy being fulfilled; the call for force vaccinations or one cannot travel, buy or sell; the World Economic Forum’s call for a Great Reset that has Marxist ideas embedded throughout; and sheer will of the people to blindly follow these overlords, the evidence seems quite compelling.

    How many measures need to be taken to be safe in this world? How many more “safe places” need to be built to help shield an individual or group from someone else’s opinion? How many more people will be shutdown online for voicing their opinions that differ from the Big Tech overlords and their devote followers? How many more words will be ripped from the dictionary and people’s own mouths and minds before everyone is safe? How many more innocent babies should be sacrificed to the god of self desires and pleasures? Could the proponents of this utopia give an answer? The answer is ongoing and never ending because what they seek will not be found within the power of the elites nor anyone else on this earth, but only through one man, Jesus Christ and His coming kingdom. Without Christ there is no hope.

    The real solution to the problem? Get healthy, help those that need help, take responsibility, trust in the Lord, and continue in prayer.
