Breaking Spells We Cast on Ourselves

In one very real sense, this logic is true; if I didn’t have an unresolved problem, I wouldn’t be experiencing my symptom right now. By exclusively holding onto this fixed viewpoint, however, I am not seeing the full picture, and am entrancing myself through the reality – creating power of my own imagination. When I solidify myself as having a wound, just like a dream, where the inner and the outer are mirrored reflections of each other, the universe instantaneously reflects back and supplies all the evidence I need to prove to myself that I really am wounded, which further confirms and validates my point of view of seeing myself as someone who has an unhealed wound, ad infinitum.

To do this is to have fallen under a spell of my own making. This dynamic is at the root of generating enormous amounts of unnecessary human suffering, both in our individual lives and collectively, writ large on the world stage. We are constantly hypnotizing ourselves and falling under spells of our own making, an important feature of which is the very convincing sense that we are not under a spell, but are seeing things clearly, as they really are.

The Revolutionary Pleasure of Thinking for Yourself

YeeeHaaaaThose who assume (often unconsciously) that it is impossible to achieve their life’s desires-and, thus, that it is futile to fight for themselves–usually end up fighting for an ideal or cause instead. They may appear to engage in self-directed activity, but in reality they have accepted alienation from their desires as a way of life. All subjugations of personal desires to the dictates of a cause or ideology are reactionary no matter how “revolutionary” the actions arising from such subjugations may appear.

Yet, one of the great secrets of our miserable, yet potentially marvelous time, is that thinking can be a pleasure. Despite the suffocating effect of the dominant religious and political ideologies, many individuals do learn to think for themselves; and by doing so–by actively, critically thinking for themselves, rather than by passively accepting pre-digested opinions–they reclaim their minds as their own.

Fear my seal

What looks like an innocent pink baby seal toy is actually a deadly tazer, providing you with an element of surprise when it comes to keeping creeps and other assailants away from you.

N64 Pipe Confuses Trumpeters

Hope it has a pause button

From the comments:

That bowl is a trumpet mouthpiece. As a smoker, I salute him, but as a trumpet player, I’ll kill him if I ever meet him.

A Tiny Part of the Solution

My position is that all heads of state of all countries at all times should, when appearing in public, be showered with rotting garbage. This garbage should consist of at least 5% rancid mayonnaise by volume.

It’s not that there are no worthwhile heads of state. At any time Planet Earth may enjoy as many as two of them. But the worthwhile ones will appreciate the garbage-pelting policy and not be deterred, while the non-worthwhile ones may decide to move into a less destructive career, such as serial killer.

Build Your Own Hydrogen Fuel Cell

It’s portable, too!A fuel cell is a device that converts a fuel such as hydrogen, alcohol, gasoline, or methane into electricity directly. A hydrogen fuel cell produces electricity without any pollution, since pure water is the only byproduct.

Hydrogen fuel cells are used in spacecraft and other high-tech applications where a clean, efficient power source is needed.

You can make a hydrogen fuel cell in your kitchen in about 10 minutes.
