YOU ARE THE UNIVERSE (Deepak Chopra)

My best friend both in life and at work......Pat called me last week (as he had committed himself to do once a week until I’ll be back to working again) to tell that he’s been reading this new book, written by Deepak Chopra, now published and widely available (I just purchased from Amazon as the kindle, its pre-read version).

As a matter of fact I was going to talk about “free will” but as I was going to save the (barely started) text, I realized that I had made 3 posts in the past (you can make the search using the green button here on the right) even with the same exact title, I even went to read what I had written, the videos and the links in my posts done already and I decided that I have nothing to add.

So, this is what my post today is all about this book that I’m still reading (listening to), in fact the Quantum physics disease I got affected to is making me go through its pages (and chapters) thinking that modern science truly reached a crucial turning point that challenges everything we know about reality. In this brilliant book, Chopra says that we’ve just reached such a point. In the coming era, the universe will be completely redefined as a “human universe" radically unlike the cold, empty void where human life is barely a speck in the cosmos. You Are the Universe literally means what it says – each of us is a
co-creator of reality extending to the vastest reaches of time and space. This seemingly impossible proposition follows from the current state of science, where outside the public eye; some key mysteries cannot be solved, even though they are the very issues that define reality itself. Chopra he answers suggested in his book are not our invention. All of us live in a participatory universe. Once we decide that we want to participate fully with mind, body, and soul, the paradigm shift becomes personal. The reality we live will be ours either to embrace or to change. What this great mind offers is a bold, new understanding of who we are and how we can transform ourselves and the world for the better while reaching our greatest potential.

PRAYING & MIND

I realized that in my last post I said pretty much that every religion in this world is fake/man-made, however this doesn’t change the fact that to pray for some God or some other “supernatural entity” (very many) that we believe can “put it all in order” is wrong or foolish..

In fact by focusing our own mind on something important for us, what we do – as many theories say (i.e. law of attraction)

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I_2iN8GZaao

   
is to really make it happen.

My good example here is about my mother who had 3 natural miscarriages before I was born, she’s been saying (at least since I was conceived) that I’m the miracle of the “Virgin Mary of Monteberico” because “I did pray to her asking for you to be born for years”.

But no matter what I say, when or how that it’s just been her imagination that helped me be born and that it was (more simply) her own focus and (still young) intelligence/brain/mind that made her dream become true, she’s been brushing me off, simply saying that “I don’t know what this Mary can and has done for people who ask – in prayer – for something to her.

In fact is truly about this that I want to talk about today – no matter that I’ve talked about the huge and still totally unknown powers/capacities of our brain - (we still don’t even know how it’s made).

Let’s forget about the fact that we cannot locate nor explain our minds,           https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cLqjK3ddSy0
we guess that being mind and soul kind of the same entity, they must be “entangled” with the brain, I therefore we have no idea of any of the related capacities of any of them, I see (in the internet) that many state that our minds are what people say that there’s no difference between the mind and the soul, simply browse the well researched websites (8) I put below to fill out any curiosity you may have on this and forget not that you can always use the contact tool here at the bottom of the right column.

RELIGIO EST OPIO POPULI

Or, in English: “Religion is the opium of the people”. So today I’m going to say some blasphemies regarding thoughts that I’ve developed very recently (probably TBI related). This is all from my own guts. This is what Marx meant with the use of religions. In order for it to do so, it must engage in self-critique. Marx wrote that “The premise of all criticism is the criticism of religion.”

Conservative critics have accused Marxism of being a secular religion a secularization of Judeo-Christian Messianism.

Anyway:

  1.  I’ve been saying for years here to have no memory whatsoever to have met with Jesus Christ when in the coma, well then where does my very new (to me) “spirituality” come from?

  2. Why is it that almost every morning I wake up with a very clear idea in my mind of things about to happen at very different levels – from personal to “worldwide” - that often end up happening for real, no matter how good or bad?

  3. Every morning I wake up too with the dream I just had, that either predicts something in the near future or clearly explains something that was unclear or was a question I had in mind the da/night before.

  4. I also developed the idea that Jesus was NOT the incarnation of a God creator, but very simply a boy who – due to some Darwinian irregularity (just like monkeys developing into us, the men we are today) was born with a very powerful brain like we too will have sometime in the future (which explains why some are guessing that Jesus was a time traveler who came from the future).

  5. On this line I say that Jesus was very popular with women who simply adored him, in fact Jesus and had sex with plenty women, the story of Mary Magdalene, in fact may be true and I recently discovered that the “virgin” Mary (virgin because unaware of the violence of the rest of the world) had other kids after Jesus, those kids were born just like every other “normal kid”….otherwise there would be a lineage of Bach (the composer), Einstein, Lincoln, John Kennedy, Napoleon, Galileo-Galilei, Darwin, Beethoven and on and on and on….

  6. Also about the Virgin Mary, how is it that nobody knows the number of other kids she gave birth to after Jesus (many) and why weren’t they all the incarnation of our God creator?

Now, let me say that the Nicias consul not only pretty much destroyed all that was factual and objective truth about Jesus, who tried to teach to Jewish people, who – since at least 2.500 years – all believe to be “children of God”.

Well, the Nicias consul was organized by the Roman emperor Constantine I who not only was part of it, but he created from there the Vatican Empire (like I’ve been saying for several months here), the carbon copy of the Roman Empire itself.

Jesus Christ and Christianity have been the creation of the biggest and most powerful empire earth ever saw (the Roman Empire) which not only gave birth to Catholicism, but to gave to the entire “western culture”, what we call today "occidental".

All the culture, art, sciences, scientists and artists come from this Empire, just like the “faith in Jesus Christ” who was “used” or utilized by the Romans simply because every country conquered and put under their control, was much less rebellious when turned to Christianity, therefore costing to the empire much less in money and in lives for wars to control and subdue them.

As for the various miracles that Jesus did, most of them can be “rather easily” explained with his superior brain capacities, same for the “famous” holy shroud, that’s just a medieval product, it’s because every scientist who ever had it to study and test it, very likely was either of Catholic faith or very influenced by it (or by the Vatican E.), just think to the double slit experiment… Whatever you expect the result of your experiment to be – regardless how precise and sophisticated is the equipment used – the results are always what you (the observer) expect.

Quantum physics has been telling us that “in a way”, we are the real creators of this universe, and – just wait and see – in few more years we’ll “discover” the parallel ones too and you know what? There will be “aliens” in these “parallel universes” but the entire world will relax, because these “aliens” will simply be who we are….maybe ahead or behind in our evolutionary stage, but certainly NOT of other species (with tails or gills).

Of course this all comes from a brain injured guy – me - I lost my (still now) beloved wife and I’m still here (alive) for the love (strongest power in this universe) I have for my two children in addition to the additional loss of my (constitutionally protected..…I was hoping) personal and financial freedom, thanks to the very improper and ignorant application of old and inadequate neuropsychological assessments and to their related “conservatorship laws” (hahahahaha).

As I had hypothesized in a post of the past, we are all still monkeys – whenever we see something weird or unexplainable to say that “it must be an act of God” is almost an automatic and instinctual reaction. How different is this from the real monkey that - seeing a truck driving on the same path normally used to go somewhere for something – goes up the closest tree screaming? If the monkey could speak wouldn’t we hear the monkey scream “it’s an act of God”?

All I’m saying here is that we already are in the second millennium (beginning), but we know less than nothing about where we come from, who we are, how our bodies with their organs work (especially our brains) but some have convinced ourselves that by asking to some disabled individual (like me) to resolve (out of the blue and without pen and paper) elementary equations extremely challenging to resolve (given the just described conditions) cannot live a normal life anymore.

I’d say that both Jesus and my friend Iacopo the philosopher, are fully correct in saying that “the day people will know what their after-death will be like, the ENTIRE WORLD will change overnight”…..too bad that nobody cares...

Finally I feel like adding that – based on my extensive conversations and studies about quantum sciences – when we

die the electrical charges that our brain utilized while we were living our lives will simply detach (come off) from the “meat that’s the organ brain”, therefore giving freedom to our intelligence, culture, experience and logic to not only see our entire lives “just like in a movie” (as it’s been said for ages), so it’s not like all of a sudden you receive what some call “universal intelligence” or cumulative.

It’s simply our own intelligence in our brain that since it isn’t occupied by the trillions of other activities any human brain must take care of every minute while living, can pinpoint each and every time when you hurt someone else in any way shape or form, living your life.

My list of those who did hurt me – by taking advantage of all I did in my entire honest and challenging work life, after I got disabled (defenseless) is way too long to make (let me just mention my ex-wife and my sister with her husband), I just want to give the basic rule to follow in order to predict the way our souls will judge our lives (we will judge ourselves):

Gravity is a very important factor, i.e. if the “good” done is “lighter” than the “bad”, chances are that your entire soul will be “lighter” so, closer to the “infinite pleasure” of the Universal Consciousness (NOT our human soul).

Also don’t forget that we are eternal individuals/souls, so, we keep coming back here on earth to live a full new life (as Christians and many other religions say at least since the written documents/walls from the Egyptians of 5,000 years ago) which is going to be heavily affected by the life we just lived, regardless that we may have any memory of it.

ERRATA CORRIGE

This morning I received (for the 5th time) the notification from my blogger that a new comment had been posted in it, so I went to look at the post where it had been made, to discover – much to my surprise - that the 5 commentS had ALL been made to the same post – ME AT WORK – 

http://lingiaca.blogspot.com/2009/03/without-writing-resume-im-going-to-give.html

I had posted in the very far October 2015 (see link above) and that ALL were posted by resume writing companies located in India or somewhere else in that area.

I certainly appreciate the interest, however (now that I got rid of them ALL) I smile 😊 because:

1.     I’m NOT looking for a job……I’m retired (forcefully)

2.    I can write my own resume anytime I’d need to AND I’d probably write my resume way better than these qualified companies - that offer to do it for me - could ever do.

As I read my post again, I realize that it’s missing a couple of pretty important information so, I decided to add them here (because important):

·         The link to my new company I was going to manage (TEVA)

https://www.teva.com/

·         The very important info that follow:

Since

1.     The current president of Tecnica USA was about to retire.

2.    I was the “natural choice” to take his place – not only because being Italian born (language…), but also because:

3.    I had already spent working there 3 years as VP of après-ski footwear (the true passion of the owner of Tecnica)

4.    I was very familiar with many Tecnica key employees in Italy

5.    I was friend with the Tecnica owner’s (Giancarlo)  kids, one of them currently is the president of the Tecnica GROUP (Alberto)

6.    I was a “better than average” skier (kind of important)

7.    I was very familiar already with the other several distribution companies in the area (their presidents) for many other European ski brands (i.e. Rossignol, Marker, etc...)

8.    I had a very good and friendly relationship with about every single employee in the company (from the sales VP of ski segment to the warehouse mgr.)

VERY SADLY (for me) however the TEVA opportunity was irresistible for these simple reasons (in my own mind):

·         Teva/the Deckers group are based in the same State where my Queen was born (CA)

·         I was landing my new job already in the position of president, without having to wait for the few weeks it may take to retire for the current president

·         Santa Barbara town is non-comparable with Lyme, NH where we’d been living for the past few years

In example every morning in the winter time I had to guess if it was going to be possible to drive my Jeep (4wh. Drive) out of my garage, because it was very likely to have up to 5 feet of fresh snow fallen overnight.

Then the joke (with bets) was about the number (how many) of degrees below zero the temperature had gone (not important to say what the winner would receive as prize, normally ski-related stuff).

LAST BUT NOT LEAST Santa Barbara is a beautiful “little town” where the weather is indescribably good all year round, it’s filled with Hollywood stars and with billionaires, there probably are the best schools and educational system in the USA too AND is very close to the UCLA = the best hospitals in the entire world, with its medical and research centers, not to consider its University, very close – in level and distance – to what can be found on the East coast i.e. the Boston, MA area.

Therefore, based on the list of pluses and minuses I just described, who could ever say that mine was a wrong move? What’s been wrong is the fact of my accident with its (too many to list here) consequences, including the fact that I’m truly forced to keep living….Boy, what a deal I made!!!

TIME IS AN ILLUSION

Since I read both that death time doesn’t exists and that Einstein stated that past, present and future all exist at the same time, my head has been spinning really bad, mainly because I cannot make these two concepts fit together, I mean I can understand that in afterlife the time is the NOW, which makes it easier for me to understand what eternity may feel like – something that seems to last for one minute there, can take entire decades here on earth to go by, but it’s Einstein’s idea that totally blows my (already blown)  mind.

In fact he said that everything happens in the same moment and added that since we are born we get convinced that yesterday was the past, today is the now and tomorrow is the future (isn’t here yet), we are its “manufacturers” mainly because of our free-will. This is the very reason why I’m hoping that this post – with its videos and links to consistent websites - can give to you, my readers both the understanding of this “idea of time” and that someone will be so kind to get in touch with me with an explanation.

I've heard researchers, mathematicians and scientists of all kinds, stating that Einstein’s concept of time (with space) is mind-bending, can anyone explain – especially because I just explained consciousness😄 – what time is and what Einstein meant saying that it doesn't exist?

CONSCIOUSNESS OR SOUL?

OK, today I’m going to talk about my understanding of what consciousness might be and of its effect on all that surrounds us, including our universe (WOW I’m truly brain injured) in fact you can listen (or read) to some of the most prestigious researchers and intellectuals in the world (see links to prestigious magazines at the bottom) who state that nobody can tell, nor understand what consciousness is.

So, while everyone – in many different fields – scratches their heads in the attempt to understand what and where our consciousness might be, my constant solitude, silence, basic catholic education and uninterrupted ability to think and reason, I’ve came up with my own idea, that answers the question; “what is consciousness?” To get to my answer I must first give 3 “basic foundations” to support it, they are:

1.     My Cath. religion teaches that we all have our own (individual) soul

2.    Quantum science has scientifically and experimentally proven that when we die the electric charges that our brain uses to let us move, activate the necessary living functions of the body (i.e. heart beating, digesting,  seeing, etc.…) and to think (i.e. remember, plan for the future, study, learn and dream) “leave” the physical brain to "migrate" to the now called Universal consciousness

3.    In about 1790 Antoine Lavoisier famously said that “matter is neither created nor destroyed"….("matter transforms from one state into another")”

On one side I conclude that it's true that we all have a soul and on the other I deduct that since our soul is matter, after death it rejoins the universal consciousness, that (check this out..) since it’s matter (electrical matter that forms the soul), it keeps accumulating, therefore  it expands (gets bigger) which is the reason why we now measure that our universe is getting bigger/expands.

Well, think about this and decide that either my brain is truly malfunctioning or its injury has made me a genius! Please tell me...
