from the mind of critic-8/17/18

From the mind of critic: “If there’s no such thing as a stupid question, are there stupid answers? If we ask questions for the sole purpose of gaining information we don’t have, do answers seek to convey information truthfully, or do they seek to skew the questioners perceptions, by relaying false information menat to expressly benefit the answerer? Do some questions distract, while some seek knowledge? Do someansweres distract, whileothers seek to impart kn…owledge? Is there a foolpooof way to tell beforehand, or is everything a case by case basis? When we’re younger, typically we think we know eveyrhting, and don’t need or want outside input. When we’re older, typically we believe we don’t know everythinig, and need all the outside uinput we can get. I say typically, because some of us take longer or shorter stints to enter and/or get through these stages, and sometimes they aren’t even recognized, or even attempted. That said, we should never generalize, because the truth is usually the opposite. If there are folks that know more or less than us, which there always has and always will be, we must never fog the truth, because we’d be blocking information. Once we realize the word stupid is subjective, we’ll see there is no such thing as stupid questions or answers, only distraction, ignorance, knowledge and consciousness. If we’re afraid to ask, are we afraid to know? Distraction will be our downfall, truth will be our uplift, None of us are stupid, just at different levels of our journey. We’ll never know everything, but we always know something.”

From the mind of critic: “If everything happens for a reason, how do we make an informed determination? Do we endlessly over analyze every bit of information that graces our periphery, believing it’s the only way for reasons to appear? Do we see all the information we’re inundated with, but ignore it, believing reasons are always there, but will only appear if we don’t think about them, because it would inherantly change the reason’s definition? Do we believe reasons are simply subjective, which change from person to person, and perspective to perspective? Life is basically chaos, and we do what we can to make sense of it. Some of us believe there’s reasons for things that happen, others don’t. Once we realize, that whether we believe there are reasons for all things, that there are, we just might not have them or ever find them, we’ll see if we over or under analyze, we’ll always miss what we would have seen, if we had just been as mindful as our soul requires us to be. If reasons can be objective, so can facts. The moment we believe ignorance is bliss, is the moment we’re okay with being controlled. Definitions change, as knowledge is gained.” 🙂

From the mind of critic:                 “When deciphering whether it’s the beginning or the end, or the end of the beginning, how can we tell the difference? Is there a way to get a black and white answer, when deciphering if a good thing is leading to something bad, or vice versa? Are we sabotaging our search when we look for a definitive answer, because all the variables which determine that answer, haven’t fully played out? Does putting the cart before the horse, make the horse trip and fall, or does it build strength in overcoming adversity, by forcing the horse to make a split second decision to leap over the cart? Change can be hard no matter how much we prepare, but it always has and always will be inevitable. We all know our beginnings if we’re mindful, but we’ll never know our end until it arrives. The most we can do is put ourselves in the best position to succeed. We do that by remembering we go through many beginnings and ends throughout our journey. We may call them steps, stages, lessons, or infinite other terms to help us comprehend the concept. Once we realize beginnings and ends are only determined through life experience, which changes from moment to moment, we’ll see that we may picture a certain end, but that end is never assured before, only after. Change can be hard, but the only way past is through. When we consciously move forward, it’s only the first end among many. Trusting the process isn’t blind faith, it’s pure consciousness. Joy will only find us, if we consciously remember what’s important.” 🙂

From the mind of critic: If assembly requires us to read directions, was the author of the directions completely objective in their dictation? Are they steering us toward something they want, disguised as something we want? Does this wolf in sheep’s clothing make it harder to spot the game until it’s to late, and we’ve constructed the exact thing we didn’t want and have always dread? Have these continous episodes of being misled colored our thinking, sewing mistrust and cynicism, that any directions will actually construct what we want to construct? Is the key to the illusionists game part and parcel of the old Hitler line, tell somebody a lie long enough, and they’ll begin to believe it. Does mistrusting our own thoughts and intuitions cause our present day ignorance, and low self esteem? There are many things we know how to do, and many more things we don’t. The objects, events and porcesses we aren’t familiar with, require us to seek help. Sometimes this help comes in the form of directions, which can be written, typed or voiced. Once we realize many lost souls try to decieve, hoodwink, bamboozle, and downright lie, cheat and steal, but not all of them do, we’ll see that to erect our personal filter to tell the difference, we must not only know what we want and need, and be able to picture it, but also realize our humility informs us we don’t have all the answers, but we have some, just like every other human. If we’re not infallible, niether is anyone else. Trusting our intuition, means trusting ourselves. If cycnicism breeds ignorance, openness breeds knowledge. The exact reason we help our fellow humans, is so they will be willing to help us. Life requires assembly, but so does understanding.” 🙂

From the mind of critic: “Does the usefulness of our windshield wipers make us not care about the falling rain, because we can always run out and buy another pair? Does the ease of windsheild wiper procurement, make us take more risks, convincing us nothing can stop us? Are we less careful and pay less attention, when ignorance ingrains an attitude of being able to buy our way out of problems, which makes us feel more important than all the little people? When things break do we ask why, or does the ease of replacement fog over our critical thinking? Rain will fall no matter what we do, or where we live. Our reaction is based on our perception of ourselves, vs. our neighbors. If we only care how the rain effects us, we aren’t gonna care how hard it’s pounding the hell out of our neighbor. CCR asked if we’ve ever seen the rain, and who’ll stop the rain. Once we realize John Foggerty and the boys weren’t talking about physical rain, but descending darkness that will swallow us all no matter where we come from, what we believe or who we love, we’ll see the more conscious we are of what’s happening in front of our face, the more we’ll see what’s causing the rain, and that we can’t stop it, but can slow it by being windsheild wipers for each other. Ignorance is fleeting, mindfulness is everlasting. When it rains on one of us, it rains on all of us. Consciously reacting to the rain, is the first step in slowing it. Rain is important, because it makes the light shine that much brighter.” 🙂

From the mind of critic:                 “If our hotel key card doesn’t work to go in our room door, was it us that caused the malfunction? Did we have it too close to our phone or keys, which caused it to stop working? Was the key originally programmed for only a certain number of days, which we have surpassed? Did the front desk make the key stop working, because the door is presently meant for somebody else? Do we always know which doors are meant for us? Do they open easily, or do they take monumental effort? A plethora of doors will present themselves during our journey, some are meant for our highest good, some for our lowest bad, and some are meant for others entirely. Discernment is only gained through experience, because doors reveal their true meaning when we’re mindful enough. When we do determine a door is meant for us, their will be a key. A moment or an event that provides the door’s intention, letting us know if the key will work. Sometimes it does, sometimes it doesn’t, and the reasons why can be as numerous as drops of water in the ocean. Once we realize determining the right door is only the first step, and trying the key is the second, we’ll see the third step is walking through, which is only possible when we link the right key with the right door. Every door has a key, we just need to determine when we’re the keymaker. All doors have a window, but not all windows have a door. The skeleton key to any door, is our consciously, action driven soul. Keys and doors are useless, if we don’t walk the walk.” 🙂

From the mind of critic: “If we’re not suppossed to talk to strangers when were kids, does the concept wear off when we reach adulthood? Does the need for safety when we’re younger, compel us to not conversate with strangers, so we don’t get taken advantage of? Does that mutate into fear when we’re older, which compels us not to talk to strangers so we don’t get taken advantage of? Does this ingrain an attitude of always expecting the worst of everybody and everything into our soul? Does it give us a chance to throw off the shackles of our forefathers, by proving not only that not everybody is out to get us, but a lot are there to help, whose guidance we’ll only receive if we interact with people we didn’t previously know? Child like phrases help when we’re kids, because they keep our innocence as long as needed, and our discovery flowing. We run into trouble when these phrases out live their usefulness, and we’re still acting them out. Just as holding on too tightly to moments changes their inherent meaning, talking to people, sharing ideas and humanely interacting is what will save us, which we can’t do if we don’t wave at each other, let alone utter sylables. Filtering out who is to our detriment, and who is to our benefit is the key to our evolution. The intent of strangers, is only dicovered through communication. Ingrained attitudes ebb, new information flows. Strangers become less strange, when we become less strange to ourselves.” 🙂

From the mind of critic: “If bigger is always better, is smaller always worse? Is a smaller version of something inherently worse, because it has fewer features than the bigger version, which has more? Does the outside packaging determine the contents value, or are the contents the only thing that matters, because somebody could always put pretty packaging on a big pile of shit? Are there no black and white rules for anything? Size doesn’t determine value, just like functionality doesn’t. When always and never enter our vocabulary, our critical thinking escapes in favor of ignorant parroting. Led Zeppelin once said sometimes our words have 2 meanings, but there are 2 paths and in the long run, and there’s still time to change the road we’re on. Once we realize descriptions can be distractions but we’ll never know unless we check it out ourselves, we’ll see that because our perceptions create our own reality, which create our own truth, we’ll never find our truth or be able to differentiate between other’s truths, if we don’t think for ourselves. Ignorance is bred, by taking nothing with a grain of salt. Sometimes bigger is better and sometimes smaller is, we figure out which is which, when we realize “better” is subjective. Critical thought breeds critical action, critical action breeds the next revolution. Value is not determined by blindly following, but by critical thought.” 🙂

from the mind of critic-8/4/18

From themind of critic: “If a picture is worth a 1,000 words, is 1,000 pictures worth a 1,000,000 words? Does the picture to word ratio stay the same, when the number of pictures dramitcally increases? If there are an infinite number of pictures, which take an infinite number of words to decribe them, does it make the pictures indescribable? Does becoming overwhelmed by a barrage of images, conjure even more words to describe, or does it simply invite spinning out and chaos, which bring only 2 words to mind, which start with f, and ends with uckoff? Images can portray an idea in lightning speed compared to words, however, if we didn’t have words, we would never know that. Some words are better descriptors than others, and can sum up a picture in a short phrase, instead of a thome. Once we realize life is never about either or, us vs. them, or top vs. bottom, we’ll see that because everything is interconnected, our human species is only equal to the sum of its parts, not the sum of some of its parts. Words and pictures are equally important to our evolution, because we can’t have one without the other. A picture might be worth a 1000 words, but a 1000 great words will portray much more than just one picture. If language and words mean everything and nothing at the same time, so do pictures. Life becomes more describable when we stop thinking so hard, and open our eyes.” 🙂

from the mind of critic-8/3/18

From the mind of critic: “If this is the fall of our discontent, isn’t that a good thing? Does the meaning of the phrase depend on our perceptions, changing from person to person and experience to experience? Labels, like language help us reach new understanding, by describing the indescribable, and explaining the chaotic. They can also drag us to new lows of ignorance, by further entrenching our biases, and confirming our prejudices. How we tell the difference is by being as conscious as our soul allows. When we’re mindful we pay more attention to the concepts, as opposed to the language describing them. This is how we get past the false label dichotomy, by understanding that definitions and descriptions change everybody, but the concept itself doesn’t. Once we realize our discontent and fulfillment levels depend on what we say to ourselves, not what some arbitrary and misleading outside opinion says to us, we’ll see we can be as miserbale or joyful as we want, we just have to figure out what builds us up, and what tears us down. If one man’s trash is another man’s treasure, one man’s discontentment, is anothers fulfillment. Lables and descriptions help explain, but not quantify. Biases crumble, when self-aggrandizement is eliminated. When we utilize mindful thoughts and actions, we help push human evolution forward one more step.” 🙂
