The Myth of Intelligence: Most of what is applauded as intelligent in modern societies is merely the linking together of socially approved and *audience flattering* cliches.

Most of what is applauded as intelligence in modern societies is merely the clever linking together of strings of socially acceptable cliches.
Most of what is applauded as great intelligence in modern societies is merely the linking together of socially approved and *audience flattering* cliches.
You don’t think so? Analyze the speech of any greatly admired civic leader or political figure.
Meanwhile, the truth and real intelligence lie uninspected and overlooked… requiring as they do, a certain letting go of the comfortable blanket of ego into an arena of the fearfully unexpected.
An arena fertile with the life energizing aspects of real self and of rebirth into authenticity..
But there are actually none among us who travel outside of the comfort zone of the familiar into the wisdom of insecurity, without being prodded by pain and discomfort … sometimes the discomfort of the familiar having become soured and sapping of life….
Bottom line:
People think folks are intelligent who enable people in their desire to wither away in the cesspool of ego pleasuring.
Actual life renewing truth is overlooked and relegated to the pool of the Unapproved and Hidden, both in cultures and in ourselves.
And that’s why God invented pain.

Take comfort: Ninety percent of the horror you see are merely projections from repressed traumatic experiences you had at birth and in the womb. Stop giving them energy by believing in them.
Posted by sillymickel in books, Experience Is Divinity, Falls from Grace, Funny God, God, Michael Adzema author, pre and perinatal psychology, Reality, spirituality, Wounded Deer and Centaurs on October 25, 2015

A good friend asked me, today:
“I’m a little confused and no one close to homes seems to understand my take on this … I would appreciate yours.
“I have come across ideas that when we die, pass over, death, whatever one would call it, that we are met by false light and guides, etc, and tricked into being reincarnated back to earth … we keep recycling to continue the slavery as energy, etc.
My response:
first, don’t believe that stuff….
i know that of which i speak….. plus, many others have been where i’ve been and will tell you the same thing…. not to mention, the spiritual literature throughout the ages….
second, it is common as hell for folks to project their horrors onto the unknown … it is the most common thing in the world…
indeed, if there is one thing i want to share in my writing it is that i’ve found out that those negative, often horrific, views of life and the afterlife are not true in reality … indeed, they are rooted in traumatic events that we all experienced in the womb and at birth….
they are common fears, but they are not true in reality ….
third, i, myself, and others like me have found that those kinds of views go away as growth continues … the farther along one is, the more it is that Reality is seen as perfect and wonderful….
lastly, to get an idea of the way stuff like you mention happens, just take what you said and take away the idea that someone, some evil or dark entity, is doing that …. well, then it says nothing more than that some of us reincarnate and some of us don’t….
what is left out is that whatever happens to us is meant to happen to us…. and it is not like there is even an Other making these decisions … it is our higher self (or selves) and ultimately it is God…
my books, Experience Is Divinity and Funny God, and especially Falls from Grace, tell how and why that stuff happens … that is, why we have those horrific thoughts …. and what is actually true and real….
i recommend them to give you peace of mind… it is the peace of mind that i have that i wish to share, if at all possible, through my writing. though personal growth is the only corrective in the long run, my works can help to the extent that one can be helped by having a different conceptualization, a different map of reality ….
some people have told me they are helped in exactly that way … they feel more hopeful and less fearful and more optimistic when viewing reality through the lenses i provide … which explain everything … all the important things … but show how they are part of a divine plan, one which we can all surrender to and take comfort in….

“You are invited to a return to unity with Nature and a harmonious understanding of our role, perhaps our destiny, in the grand scheme of things”: A re-visioning of humans in Nature
Posted by sillymickel in anthropology, book, Nature, planetmates, Planetmates - the Great Reveal on October 24, 2015
The idea that humans are rational is now a joke. The idea that we are “God’s chosen species” and magically endowed with the senses and quality of those perceptions to see reality better than any other species that we even know of … well, that would be a joke if the inherent arrogance in that were not so un-funny.
This book goes a long way toward overturning these and many other biases we have — self-congratulatory prejudices humans have in looking out at Nature. You will be challenged and confronted to think differently about many things you thought were certain. Attitudes and habits of thought are undermined.
But what remains is something stronger. You see humanity in a new light. It is one that opens a door on a reality greater than the one humans have contrived for their benefit alone. In doing this, you are invited to a return to unity with Nature and a harmonious understanding of our role, perhaps our destiny, in the grand scheme of things.
Central to all this is an acknowledgement and understanding of how we have come to set ourselves against Nature and all life on this planet. That is the starting point for a re-visioning of humans in Nature: We must begin with looking at the consequences of our estrangement. Certainly, as in any other process of revelation, seeing clearly allows an opportunity for transformation, whereas staying stuck in counterproductive habits of thought leads only to increasing stagnation of life process and a slow, though feverish, slide to death. Beyond that, vistas of larger possibilities for humanity abound. One might very well see their own destiny and future within them.

“lives are at stake…. including yours… but mostly it’s about the innocent ones… the planetmates and the children…” (a message to the critics of those of us working on the environmental crisis)

“I won’t be wasting my time with you.”
You know, i just don’t have the time to explain to you why i work so hard. And, actually, i have at length… in the past.
i understand, i understand… that if you were doing something like i am, it would be all out of ego … and for some gain….
i know that you are that way and you don’t have a clue what people like me are like on the inside.
you don’t understand. you just don’t understand what i see. you don’t understand how i feel, how i care, and how much i love…
so your criticism and your insults are just a waste of time… i can’t slow down to address you… i have to hurry forward…
lives are at stake…. including yours… but mostly it’s about the innocent ones… the planetmates and the children…
and i know you don’t understand that…
and compared to that, to them, you’re not so fucking important, are you? Now, surely, you must be able to see that….
but i’ll give you this. i do believe if you knew what i knew and knew how it was going to directly affect the lives of your family, you, too, would have your arms waving all over the internet to avert it, and you, too, would stand in front of the horror approaching….
but you don’t understand, you just don’t understand…
and if i waste time with you, i can’t get to where i can be actually helping … not just wasting my time with you…

On the brink of ecocide AND humanicide (the suicidal killing of our species) as we are, ought we not re-vision “man”kind’s vaunted “civilization”
Posted by sillymickel in apocalypse, Apocalypse Emergency, Apocalypse NO, books, ecocide, humanicide, Michael Adzema author, Planetmates - the Great Reveal, progress, Wounded Deer and Centaurs on October 3, 2015
“Will “Progress of Man” Be Humanity’s Epitaph?
“But all of these developments, these increases of control over Nature, are traditionally seen as the “progress of man,” the advance and evolution of humans. On the brink of ecocide and humanicide as we now are as a result of these developments, we have a unique vantage point for re-visioning these changes. Are these vaunted human “achievements” so great if they lead to species annihilation, species suicide, and ecocide as is becoming increasingly likely?…”

Egotistical and arrogant, patriarchal “heroes” see no problem in straying over lines to get what they want. We see it so much on TV, we turn our heads at atrocities and injustices perpetrated by our own.
Posted by sillymickel in books, Culture War Class War, Funny God, hero, Michael Adzema author, Patriarchal culture, War on October 2, 2015
Egotistical and arrogant, patriarchal “heroes” deem they know better than anyone what is right and what is wrong — the Manichean separation of the world into absolutes of good and evil, you see. So they see no problem in straying over lines to get what they want. We see that element in virtually all tales of patriarchal heroes. It is so much a part of our thinking we fail to notice any problem when the tough guy police officer on the silver screen beats a confession out of the supposed bad guy or gets him to offer up the location of his buddies, the bomb, the body, or the loot by using what amounts to torture. The cops can blow things up, crash cars, kill people in crossfires, and more, because it is all in the service of “the good,” we are led to believe. We see that plot portrayed thousands of times over the course of our lives and never question it. In the same way, we turn our heads at Abu Ghraib.
Guantanamo is justified because we have a War on Terror, and patriarchal heroes, followers of the Perseus way, are especially gifted in the knowledge of what is terror — that the suffering they perpetrate in the world, through their wars and torture, are not terror but that the enemy’s actions are. This is no different from the cavalry knowing damn well sure that the indians are savage and so having no problem performing a genocide of them. Similarly, in full knowledge of the supposed rightness of his actions, Perseus is able to pressure and trick old and feeble women to do his bidding, with no sense of conscience.

“We call it “growing up” to be impassionate, to be morosely, meekly obedient: Educators exhort us to deny emotion; Doctors prescribe pills; therapists counsel us to be less alive
Posted by sillymickel in adulthood, books, child-rearing, consciousness, Experience Is Divinity, Funny God, Michael Adzema author, parenting, Reality, spirituality on September 22, 2015
“We call it “growing up” to be more insensitive, less spontaneous … to be impassionate, and morosely and meekly obedient. Our educators exhort us to deny emotions; our doctors provide pills to suppress them; and our therapists counsel their clients, helping them to be less alive. Like suburbanites paving over everything with asphalt and with manicured lawns in which any weed has been assassinated out of existence, we are terrified of anything unpredictable in the Divine, anything emotional. We want to control Divinity.
“Yet, this kind of going to the opposite extreme of emotion … worshiping nothingness, emotionlessness … does not give us a picture of Reality. It only gives us a picture of a defense against what happened to us. The problem is that God is *more*, not *less* of what is Real. Divinity is not Reality devoid of the Real, of real experience. But that is what, out of fear, we have come to wish for….”
