I´m glad you appreciated my article ¨The Silent Mind.¨ Thank you very much. Blessings . . . Ruel
I just managed to browse your blog, attracted by your recent post on “Truth.” I don’t have time to read deeply now, but I certainly find that your philosophical influences and the themes that you choose to address resonate with me.
Hi Michael. I´m glad to hear from you. Thank you very much for the appreciation. I hope we could find more time to compare notes once in a while. Best wishes to you and to your worthwhile projects. I likewise deeply appreciate them especially those in the area of education. My best wishes. . . . . Ruel
while browsing i came across to some of your articles and it came to my mind that you can make all of your ideas as one series of literary piece to be published and be the best selling book. i am proud to have a kuya like you who has broad ideas with regards to writing. God bless you more and more.
RE: The Global Spread of the “Virus of Fear”.
Excellent essay.
There are those whom are seeking to implement a culture of total dependence.
There is much profit to be made, and power to be gained in that total dependence.
The culture of complete dependence.
I remain astounded that in the “covid-19” narrative, whilst there are numerous lessons to be learned, the official promulgated narrative is greater dependence.
Our food is heavily polluted.
Our waters are heavily polluted.
Our air is heavily polluted.
Our soils are heavily polluted, and becoming increasingly deficient.
Seriously compromising our health.
Yet it’s “The Virus” we’re told to fear.
In the U.S., where mask mandates are widely in place, one can go buy cigarettes, but must don “The Mask” in order to buy those cigarettes, in order to “protect” their health.
A lesson in complete absurdity.
Sewage sludge (aka human excrement) is increasingly being dumped on farmlands, on crops, and used as fillers for publicly-purchased “soils” and “composts” often for use on home gardens, but :The Virus” is what we’re told to fear (despite the historical consequences of using that “night soil”).
Most of our consumer-available “vitamins” are being synthetically sourced/created from byproducts of the gas, oil, mining, and refining industries.
They are poor substitutes for naturally-produced vitamins.(which often come from the interactions of microorganisms, enzymes, and such).
But we’re told to ignore Nature, and become more dependent on Big Science (patents for profit).
Globally, some 50%-70% of all pharmaceuticals are based on & synthesized from natural allelopathic compounds, compounds available freely and often in abundance from plants/vegetation.
Yet we’re told & forced to become dependent on Big Pharma.
The world needs a swift return to D.I.Y. ethics.
The world desperately needs more personal independence (where you have dependence, you lack independence).
And much more development of logic, reasoning skills, the greater use of fact-based empirical evidence, and other higher-order cognitive functions.
The world desperately needs a new Enlightenment.
An escape from what is quickly becoming the Dark Ages of the 21st century.
Thank you very much for your appreciation and for expanding the topic discussion. You’re absolutely right, “The world desperately needs a new Enlightenment.” And yes, the 21st century is heading to another Dark Ages.
Yes, we need “much more development of logic, reasoning skills . . .” but it’s like a given reality that human beings are generally prone to be more attracted by anything that appeals to their feelings and emotions. It’s normal to have feelings and emotions but to totally set aside and ignore reason and facts spells disaster. This reality explains why the world is heading to the dogs, so to speak.
