Mark Hamilton's prophetic Ideas

Today it became apparent that Mark Hamilton's recent (March 20/2010) statement, "Reason is dead," is unfortunately quite accurate. People do not respond to reason. In fact, he underlined this point in a recent speech : I'll say it again, "Reason is dead."

People are in a "get something for nothing mode," if it is believed that the "right" political vote will somehow magically make things right. I feel more comfortable, personally, with self leadership.

Because reason is indeed dead, another tack is needed, in addressing the many problems existent in the world in which we are living today.

There is a grassroots movement in the USA that addresses many of the problems inherent in the current political and religious structures in that country, and that is www.twelvevisionsparty.com the greatest "get rich" program since civilization began !

Rational Thinking

Much more is possible using the rational faculty on a regular basis, and eliminating all, if not most, mysticism from one's life. Most notably, I have not read my horoscope in at least a month, nor have I consulted I Ching. I am also endeavouring to cut out sugar and coffee (two weeks without coffee, one and a half days without refined sugar). The aim of all this is not to become ascetic, or to be better than anyone else. When one believes in biological immortality (or at the very least, to live until much longer ages than what others expect - such as over the age of 120), one's approach to life and how one fills ones days necessarily changes. The goal is to to continue to live a happy, healthy, fulfilled, exciting and passionate life full of love of all kinds.

My concern about prayer is excessive reliance on it, to achieve desired results. If a person is ill, doesn't it make more sense to compile a comprehensive compendium of medical scientific research, and in consultation with a variety of health care professionals, assist the individual in that manner. An excessive reliance on god can lead to not taking full responsibility for ones actions, can leave the results up to another, 'higher' being.

Ultimately as we can only live in the now, the present, it makes me wonder whether postulating whether god exists, and the nature of that god, is a worthy or worthwhile discussion.

There is actually a direction to all this. A number concomitant ideas - and worthy actions - exist, alongside this rational, individual oriented, potentially god-less universe. More will be revealed in the March 2010 version of "Reason Magazine."
