The document discusses lying and deception. It begins by providing results from studies on lying, finding that community members lied in one-fifth of interactions and students lied in one-third. Most lies were small deceptions or exaggerations. While some lies damage relationships, others fulfill important social functions like smoothing over awkward situations. The document examines the prevalence and social functions of "white lies" and discusses the consequences of lying, including damaged trust between individuals.
Political Correctness (PC) has reached levels of insanity and inanity. Although we laugh and making fun of the absurd aspects of PC there is a sinister force behind it that threatens the very fabric of our society.
The document discusses the failure of philosophy and economics and the corruption of other fields. It argues that reality precedes knowledge, and truth reveals reality. It claims that adopting an ideology prevents listening to reality to inform knowledge. It discusses how to live with virtue rather than commandments, and asks why we are experiencing an ethical crisis. The document suggests our cultural defaults regarding ethics are obsolete, and examines how empathy and caring are natural human capacities that can be overridden by ideas.
This document summarizes a presentation given at the Social Marketing Conference on changing behavior through communications. The presentation discusses how opinion polls are a poor measure of public opinion, and frames shape attitudes and responses. It also notes that development organizations often promote frames they are trying to move away from through their language and communications, unintentionally suggesting who has agency. It recommends prioritizing credibility, studying language use more carefully, and evolving communications models to encourage deeper public engagement over time.
Take charge of the political narrative by knowing your values and framing the debate. Presentation discusses George Lakoff's framing principles discussed in the book"Don't Think of an Elephant!"
The document discusses critical thinking and its importance. It covers 7 standards of critical thinking: clarity, precision, accuracy, relevance, logical correctness, and fairness. It also discusses the benefits of critical thinking in classrooms, workplaces and life. Barriers to critical thinking include lack of information, poor reading skills, bias, and close-mindedness. Critical thinkers think independently and understand the value of critical thinking, while uncritical thinkers tend to follow group opinions without criticism.
This document discusses ethics and provides some background information and questions. It begins by asking the reader to consider themselves as an "ethical person" and where their ethics come from. It then discusses that most ethical principles are learned from a young age and are influenced by one's upbringing. The document poses several questions to help readers reflect on their own ethics and provides some general concepts about ethics in business and society. It concludes by outlining "John's Five Action Principles" which advocate telling the truth, knowing absolute truths exist, and that ethical principles do not change depending on the situation.
The document discusses personality development and Generation Z. It defines personality and explains how personality traits are influenced by both nature and nurture. It then contrasts Generation Z with Millennials, noting that Gen Z is more technology-dependent but also more individualistic and self-reliant. The document also outlines the Big Five model of personality traits - Openness, Conscientiousness, Extraversion, Agreeableness, and Neuroticism - and provides examples of characteristics associated with high and low scores on Openness and Conscientiousness.

The Pearl by John Steinbeck follows Kino, a poor pearl diver in Mexico, and his family. After finding a large pearl, their lives are turned upside down. Greed emerges in the doctor who refuses to treat Kino's son until learning of the pearl. Trackers also pursue the family to steal the valuable pearl. Despite Kino's efforts to protect his family, tragedy strikes as their son is killed in the violence surrounding the pearl. The family comes to see the pearl as the source of their misfortune and throws it back into the sea.
The document discusses ethical dilemmas and perspectives. It begins by defining a dilemma as a difficult choice between undesirable options. It then discusses five ethical perspectives groups may take when facing dilemmas: rules-based, virtues-based, outcomes-based, principles-based, and care-based. The document provides examples of classical ethical dilemmas, such as scenarios involving runaway trolleys and helping an injured elderly woman. It also addresses avoiding dilemmas through rationalization and changing language.

Write

In what way did the other person understand it? What did the person really mean? Do you think that the misunderstanding was intentional? What were the consequences of the misunderstanding? How might the situation have been better if the person had practiced the principle of charity? Finally, are there areas in which
you
could do more to understand others favorably? How might you be a wiser person if you did so?

1) The document discusses how influential figures throughout history have used emotional rhetoric and propaganda to manipulate people into making decisions and taking actions. It provides examples of how Goebbels and ISIS have effectively used emotional appeals, crafting narratives, and new media to influence large groups of people.
2) The key to effective influence is understanding human psychology and how to provoke certain feelings with words, surroundings, and appearances in order to justify immoral actions. Influencers create alternative worlds with stereotypes that shape how people perceive situations.
3) With new technology, the power of influence is even greater, as demonstrated by ISIS's use of high-quality propaganda videos and magazines distributed via social media to appeal to emotions like pride

1. The document discusses the theory of mind (ToM), which is the ability to attribute mental states to oneself and others and understand that others may have beliefs, desires, intentions and perspectives that are different from one's own.
2. It evaluates evidence for ToM in animals like chimpanzees through experiments on self-awareness, empathy, and comprehension of cues. While chimpanzees show some abilities, alternatives explanations are possible.
3. In humans, ToM develops gradually from infancy through childhood and allows for behaviors like deception, communication, and building shared goals and plans that depend on mental state attribution.
The document discusses how 2010 marked a watershed year in which new technologies empowered activists and journalists to speak out against repressive governments and push for greater respect of human rights. It suggests that repressive governments now face the real possibility that their days are numbered due to technologies that allow information to spread more freely. The summary highlights how new technologies have given voice to critics of authoritarian regimes and represent a threat to governments that try to strictly control information.

Analyzing the megatrends in society that affect the way people think, behave, live their lives, work with their elected officials, deal with capitalism, etc. The comparison of the first Renaissance vs. the New Renaissance is very telling. Most people do not fully understand the impact of the New Renaissance as we all suffer from the boiled frog syndrome.
We are only at the initial phase of the New Renaissance. Things will dramatically change for everyone in the next 20-50 years. The New Renaissance is a lot more than just another label to describe the Digital Age.

Lucid Dreaming: Understanding the Risks and Benefits
The ability to control one's dreams or for the dreamer to be aware that he or she is dreaming. This process, called lucid dreaming, has some potential risks as well as many fascinating benefits. However, many people are hesitant to try it initially for fear of the potential dangers. This article aims to clarify these concerns by exploring both the risks and benefits of lucid dreaming.
The Benefits of Lucid Dreaming
Lucid dreaming allows a person to take control of their dream world, helping them overcome their fears and eliminate nightmares. This technique is particularly useful for mental health. By taking control of their dreams, individuals can face challenging scenarios in a controlled environment, which can help reduce anxiety and increase self-confidence.
Addressing Common Concerns
Physical Harm in Dreams Lucid dreaming is fundamentally safe. In a lucid dream, everything is a creation of your mind. Therefore, nothing in the dream can physically harm you. Despite the vividness and realness of the dream experience, it remains entirely within your mental landscape, posing no physical danger.
Mental Health Risks Concerns about developing PTSD or other mental illnesses from lucid dreaming are unfounded. As soon as you wake up, it's clear that the events experienced in the dream were not real. On the contrary, lucid dreaming is often seen as a therapeutic tool for conditions like PTSD, as it allows individuals to reframe and manage their thoughts.
Potential Risks of Lucid Dreaming
While generally safe, lucid dreaming does come with a few risks as well:
Mixing Dream Memories with Reality Long-term lucid dreamers might occasionally confuse dream memories with real ones, creating false memories. This issue is rare and preventable by maintaining a dream journal and avoiding lucid dreaming about real-life people or places too frequently.
Escapism Using lucid dreaming to escape reality can be problematic if it interferes with your daily life. While it is sometimes beneficial to escape and relieve the stress of reality, relying on lucid dreaming for happiness can hinder personal growth and productivity.
Feeling Tired After Lucid Dreaming Some people report feeling tired after lucid dreaming. This tiredness is not due to the dreams themselves but often results from not getting enough sleep or using techniques that disrupt sleep patterns. Taking breaks and ensuring adequate sleep can prevent this.
Mental Exhaustion Lucid dreaming can be mentally taxing if practiced excessively without breaks. It’s important to balance lucid dreaming with regular sleep to avoid mental fatigue.
Lucid dreaming is safe and beneficial if done with caution. It has many benefits, such as overcoming fear and improving mental health, and minimal risks. There are many resources and tutorials available for those interested in trying it.
The Revelation Chapter 7 Working Copy.docxFred Gosnell
John witnesses the sealing of God's 144,000 witnesses, and he hears the crying out or shouting of an unnumbered multitude of those who have been saved during the great tribulation.
This is an intermission scene before opening the seventh seal. We have seen six seals opened revealing of the events that would shortly occur. The first 4 reveal what was to occur in the great tribulation during the destruction of Jerusalem by the Romans in AD70.
The fifth seal reveals the question from those slain as to when the Lord would avenge their death. The sixth seal reveals the answer to them from the One on the throne and of the Lamb which would be the punishment of their persecutors and accomplices. John sees four messengers/angels holding back the four winds of the earth & keeping them from blowing on the earth, the sea or any tree. In this figurative language, these are not heavenly messengers/angels. These represent those who are trying to restrain the word of God everywhere. Their efforts are restrained by the messenger in verse 2, preventing them from holding back the 4 winds, the spread of the gospel of Christ by His messengers/angels. These 4 winds stand on the four corners of the earth, Rome’s worldwide influence to stop its spread. But the gospel will be preached in all the earth. See the study for the Bible passages that support this. John hears the commands given relating to the sealing of the servants of God and the figurative number representing them. John sees a great multitude standing before the throne of all nations and kindreds and people and tongues who are clothed with white robes. All the messengers/angels stood around the throne and the elders and the four beasts fell before the throne and worshipped God. One of the elders asks John what those were that were wearing white robes. John said he knew and the elder identifies them. The chapter ends with his explanation.
PHASE-IV
The very deep experience of silence helps to expand from the 3 - dimensional awareness of the body to all pervasive awareness. The bed of silence becomes deeper and more expansive - an ocean of silence with waves on it merge into complete silence called Ajapa state of the mind. This silence is the source of Creativity, Power, Knowledge and Bliss.
PHASE V
From this deep ocean of silence in the heart region, let one OM emerge as an audible sound which diffuses into the entire body and the space all around. Enjoy the beautiful vibrations.
Blink the eyes slowly, gently open the eyes and come out of meditation.

The Book of Revelation, filled with symbolic and apocalyptic imagery, presents one of its most striking visions in Revelation 9:3-12—the locust army. Understanding the significance of this locust army provides insight into the broader themes of divine judgment, protection, and the ultimate triumph of God’s will as depicted in Revelation.
Astronism, Cosmism and Cosmodeism: the space religions espousing the doctrine...Cometan
This lecture created by Brandon Taylorian (aka Cometan) specially for the CESNUR Conference held Bordeaux in June 2024 provides a brief introduction to the legacy of religious and philosophical thought that Astronism emerges from, namely the discourse on transcension started assuredly by the Cosmists in Russia in the mid-to-late nineteenth century and then carried on and developed by Mordecai Nessyahu in Cosmodeism in the twentieth century. Cometan also then provides some detail on his story in founding Astronism in the early twenty-first century from 2013 along with details on the central Astronist doctrine of transcension. Finally, the lecture concludes with some contributions made by space religions and space philosophy and their influences on various cultural facets in art, literature and film.

Lição 12: João 15 a 17 – O Espírito Santo e a Oração Sacerdotal | 2° Trimestr...OmarBarrezueta1
Esta lição é uma oportunidade para discutirmos um assunto multo mal interpretado no contexto cristão, que é o fato de algumas pessoas pensarem que o conhecer Jesus é ter a nossa vida mudada em todas as áreas, como se Deus tivesse o dever de transportar-nos deste mundo para um outro mundo onde muitas coisas maravilhosas que desejamos seriam reais. No entanto, a nossa fé não nos tira do mundo após nos convertermos; ao invés disso, permanecemos vivendo sob as mesmas circunstâncias. O propósito de Deus não é nos tirar do mundo, mas nos livrar das ações do maligno (Jo 17.15), Sendo assim, a vida eterna não significa estar fora da realidade deste mundo, mas conhecer o único Deus verdadeiro (Jo 17.3).
God calls us to a journey of worshiping Him. In this journey you will encounter different obstacles and derailments that will want to sway you from worshiping God. You got to be intentional in breaking the barriers staged on your way of worship in order to offer God acceptable worship.

2. First, We Must Understand That:
We are all brainwashed for years by:
Our parents Some of it was done
Our teachers and professors intentionally and
some of it was done
The academic world unintentionally
The intellectuals and philosophers
Our religious leaders and religion itself
Our Leaders
The Media
Society at large

3. The Degree Of Brainwashing Affects
Who One Is
Brain Power
Openness
Free Thinkers – open to accepting some
Mild
paradigms that make sense (no agenda)
Liberals or Progressives – open to all new
Fair paradigms (as long as they fit a personal agenda)
Independents or Moderates – open to
Moderate most new paradigms
Conservatives – stuck in certain paradigms,
Serious open to some new paradigms
Fundamentalists and Cultists – closed to
Severe new paradigms and hating all changes

5. No, It’s Not Funny
Brainwashing is
actually one of the
most serious things as
it affects one’s life
thought patterns,
cognition ability,
mental models,
decision making, and
even Enlightenment
Laertis Copyrighted 2011 5
6. Clarification
There is a huge difference between telling other people
things one believes to be true (that later on are proven
to be false or wrong) and telling lies and fibs on
purpose to influence other people’s minds, decisions
and outcomes

7. Some Famous Lies
Three American Administrations lying about our
involvement in Vietnam. It took Daniel Ellsberg to
expose the truth
Andrew Jackson claimed that "the Indians in general,
receding farther and farther to the West, have retained
their savage habits.“
George H . Bush proclaiming that he will not raise
taxes with his now infamous speech of “Read my lips!”

9. Reality: We Have A Culture Of
Lying
We have Lobbyists (= professional liars and mind
manipulators)
We have Propaganda Ministers /Spokespersons for
each political party and each major corporation
We have tabloids (= professional liars and rumor
mongers)
We have a Political Talk Show Hosts (= professional
liars and spin doctors)
We have Political Correctness (= to sugarcoat ugly
truths and hide or mask obvious flaws or defects)

10. An Interesting Article
The National Culture of Lying: A Problem with the National Vocabulary
By waywuwei - May 3, 2008, 12:54PM
It was discovered recently that the "McCain family Recipes" posted on the McCain website were in fact
lifted verbatim from the food network. A tempest in a teapot for sure, but in the aftermath of the flap,
a staffer was fired for doing this. Clearly, John and Cindy McCain knew from the start that these were
not family recipes because they did not provide them to the staffer in question. So they knew,
assuming that they had knowledge of their own web site that the whole thing was a lie to begin with.
It is clear that in Washington and in the broader American culture, lying is the business of the day.
There is in the whole culture a confusion of truth with PR. The media culture that has honed the art
of creating illusion is in fact a culture of lying. Truth has nothing to do with it.
The recent media flap about Hillary and Bill's lie about the events surrounding Hillary's trip to Bosnia
underscores again, the pervasiveness of the Culture of Lying. In an AP news article, the headline is
"Clinton misstates wife's Bosnia Tale". Note the word "misstates". They didn't say lie. Look around
and see how often the word "lie" is used in the media. People "misstate" things, they even "misspeak"
at times. They never lie. The word "lie" has been effectively expunged from the national vocabulary. If
there is no word for an untruth, there are no untruths and if there are no untruths, there are no
truths. It is all a game to see whose propaganda is more effective. The truth is what you can get
away with. No wonder the American people have lost their way. We have a culture of national secrecy
so extreme, that even the people elected to represent us really have no idea what is really going on. To
conceal their own inability to find the truth, they perpetuate the culture of lying.

12. Conclusion: It Is Hard To Know
What Is Real and True. We have a
Truth Crisis
Laertis Copyrighted 2011 12
13. Here Is An Example
It is not just a crisis re:
Global Warming; it’s a
crisis regarding truth.
Do you know the truth?
Laertis Copyrighted 2011 13
14. Key Realization
One cannot find Enlightenment when surrounded by
lies, wrong theories, false prophets and prophecies,
bad science, garbage statistics, fanciful philosophies,
questionable beliefs, tainted history, one-sided stories,
far-fetched myths, manmade legends, sham
mysticism, hazy or distorted views, and problematic
dogmas, codes and doctrines. The problem stems
from the fact that we all believe that none of these are
afflicting us. They only afflict the other folks
Laertis Copyrighted 2011 14
15. The First Step Towards
Enlightenment
Empty your mind, clear your thoughts, decouple your
self from your beliefs and axioms, get rid of rigidity
and narrow-mindedness
Laertis Copyrighted 2011 15
16. Unlearn In Order To Learn
This is one of the hardest
things to do in life and this
is why we have so few free
thinkers and even fewer
enlightened individuals
Laertis Copyrighted 2011 16
17. Next Step Towards Enlightenment
Then read, reflect, question, challenge, hear and
appreciate the “other side”, judge, evaluate, and
rethink everything
Become a free thinker
Laertis Copyrighted 2011 17
20. Consider These:
You don’t really own a home. You are renting it from
the government. Property tax is your rental fee
Working in the office or factory is new form of slavery.
There are no whips or chains, but there are rules,
regulations, codes, procedures, policies, processes …
and cameras
We still have Barons and Lords. We now call them
CEOS and Chairs
We still have pirates. They don’t have swords, but they
have diplomas from fancy universities
Laertis Copyrighted 2011 20
21. … And These:
Justice is not blind
Equality is a noble cause and feeling, but it is not
reality. The reality is we are very different. Trying to
put us all in one bucket hurts those that are gifted,
intelligent and unique in some many other ways. This
is not an elitist view, but a pragmatic view
The US is losing more freedoms with every passing
year. We accept totalitarianism for the sake of safety
and security. We are stuck at the basic human needs
New Age is promoted by fundamentalists, not liberals
or free thinkers
Laertis Copyrighted 2011 21
22. Some Key Questions/Challenges
Is Capitalism and Consumerism great systems that
apply to all people?
Is democracy a great system to govern large and
complex societies?
Is Organized Religion geared into dividing people,
rather than uniting them?
Is homosexuality a threat to society?
Is marriage necessary?
Is polygamy a man-made sin?
Are there sins at all?
Laertis Copyrighted 2011 22
24. Key Realization
Most people do not have the guts to probe those type
of questions deep enough because they are afraid of
the answers
What if the answers are opposite to what one believes?
Believe it or not most people cannot handle the fact
that they have been believing BS all their lives.
Enlightenment takes strong individuals to be able to
accept the truth and move forward. Weak-minded
people convince themselves that are strong by hanging
onto their BS beliefs --- very distorted thinking

26. Here Are Some Things That I
Changed My Mind About
I thought Daniel Ellsberg was a traitor. Now I see him
as a hero and an enlightened individual
I thought Nixon was a patriot and a savior of America.
Now is view him as a paranoid lunatic
I thought that Government was infallible and caring.
Now I see our politicians as fumbling buffoons
I thought my personal God was the best and only God.
I now realize that there are no personal Gods --- only
one God for all
Laertis Copyrighted 2011 26
27. Here Are Some Things That I
Changed My Mind About (cont’d)
I thought The Knights Templar, Rosicrucians, Cathars,
Illuminati and other such groups were bad (because
my church said so), only to find out a whole another
truth about them
I thought Gnostics were bad people and heretics
(because my church said so), only to find out that they
understood Christ and Christianity better than the
fathers of my church
I thought that we needed a Head of the Church. Now
I realize that we don’t need anyone to believe what we
believe
Laertis Copyrighted 2011 27
28. Clarification
Understanding The Cathars, The Gnostics and the
rest of them doe not mean that I agree with everything
they have said or believed. It only means that they
have expanded my Gnosis and Consciousness well
beyond what my own religion did
The Cathars , Gnostics and the rest have said many
outlandish and outright ridiculous things. That does
not detract from the fact that they had some very
valuable perspectives about God and Christianity.
They have contributed greatly to my Enlightenment
Laertis Copyrighted 2011 28
29. Next Step: Relearn
Relearn based on solid understanding of new
paradigms, new ideas, new knowledge/Gnosis, new
trends and new views

37. Enlightenment Is About:
Seeing things in a new light (like never before) and
understanding things at a level of depth that does
make a difference in the way one lives and enjoys life
Obtaining and applying profound knowledge (called
Gnosis)
Recognizing certain truths as being eternal and life
shaping
Knowing that you’ve been lied to … and forgiving the
liars

39. Here Is The Essence Of My
Life has nothing to do with what we are doing for a
living, or supporting our families, or achieving self-
actualization. The “hierarchy of needs” only exists for
people that live at the animal level
Life has to do with what we are --- spiritual beings
enjoying the journey on this planet. It has to do with
love ---giving and taking love. Loving the ones
around us, especially our families, provides us with the
ultimate joy. Knowing that you are loved by those that
matter the most, matters the most.
Laertis Copyrighted 2011 39
40. Here Is The Essence Of My
(cont’d)
Happiness and enjoyment of life is not derived from
doing things or obtaining and accumulating things, or
using things. It is derived from fulfilling your destiny
and realizing your real bliss
So, do you know your Destiny? Do you know your
bliss? They are not hard to figure out. Just remember
your first dreams, inclinations and attachments.
Think of what made you happy. I certainly know what
makes me happy. I now know my destiny. It fits with
my bliss
Laertis Copyrighted 2011 40
41. Here Is The Essence Of My
(cont’d)
Choosing arbitrarily a profession or career may bring
you money, glory, fame, and power, but it won’t bring
you what matters the most: You being you, fulfilling
your destiny. It is the fulfillment of your destiny that
brings you the ultimate contentment, peace serenity
gratification and self-actualization
Laertis Copyrighted 2011 41
42. Here Is The Essence Of My
(cont’d)
One Buddhist friend of mine told me once that: “Life
has nothing to do with what you are doing, and
everything to do with what you are being.” However,
my Enlightenment has shown me that if you are
doings are aligned with your destiny, then doing and
being become one. And that my friend is the ultimate
way to live your life. This is true Gnosis. This is true
Enlightenment
Laertis Copyrighted 2011 42
43. Key Question
The previous four slides mentioned several very
profound statements. Do they make a good reading or
do they affect one’s life?
The answer to this question underscores the difference
between understanding and “knowing”. Knowing
leads to drastic and life-changing decisions and
actions because knowing without doing (= taking
action) is just a theory or conjecture
Laertis Copyrighted 2011 43
44. Key Realization
There is a Zen proverb that says: “Before
Enlightenment chop wood carry water, after
Enlightenment, chop wood carry water.” The
consciousness has changed but not the tasks. Read
this article at:
http://www.interluderetreat.com/meditate/chop.htm
to get the gist of the difference of before and after
condition. However, it would be even greater if the
man would focus on his bliss (such as carving wood)
and make a living that way
Laertis Copyrighted 2011 44
45. Knowing Is Also This:

60. The cosmos itself represents the
breath of God or The Force.
Each exhale represents a new Big
Bang era, and every inhale
represent the new Big Crunch era.
Every breath you take represents
the birth and death cycle.
Black Holes destroy and create
stars and entire galaxies. They too
breath in and breath out.
How interesting it is to understand
breathing!
