The Universal Jig

This blog is not about announcing any truths or untruths, but rather to ask questions about all those 'truths' in life that we accept and assume with such confidence to be realities. Such dogmas are frequently shamelessly espoused, often ignorantly, by so-called leaders whom are found lurking in all facets of life. They usually expect you to dance to their discordant tunes and arrhythmical beats. I question the explanations of reality as well as vague concepts such as the UNIVERSE, GOD, LOVE, SACREDNESS and SPIRITUALITY by so-called 'leaders', 'experts' and 'specialists' who do not hesitate to use subterfuge, conjecture, suspicions, opinions and deceit, for the sole purpose of bolstering systems in which they themselves may be heavily invested.

    A simple life means a life in which there are firm bounderies and a solid foundation, even if there is not much material abundance. It all becomes exceedingly complex, once those references dissolve. ...

    Sometimes it seems that we idolize the material things in life that gives meaning to our existence. As an excuse for this misplace adulation of our "domains", we seem to attach them to the gods that we pray to. These gods are usually innocent bystanders. ...

    We humans have a peculiar way of making ourselves feel more important than the next guy. It is purely synthetic and make-believe though, and the true distinctions of character seems to have little effecton social status. The social structures found in symphonic orchestra seems to be a good example of such constructs. ...

    The killing game has become so commonplace and a natural part of life, that we have established a complete semantic regimen around this activity so that we need not feel guilty about our direct involvement in it. We have given it a uniform and raison d'etre. ...

    A short one. A mother giving birth to her offspring is a very special and wondrous occasion – whether it is a human birth or one of the planets or many other wonderful species. Thereby I do not imply that the alternative reproduction methods of creatures like Amoeba - which simply split into manifold versions of themselves – or birds and reptiles ...

    Is reality structured on perceptions of fear and uncertainty? Research into strange events in past years have lead to some curious explanations by debunkers as well as whole belief systems by people who become leaders and prophets of social cults and groupings. Are these 'strange' events purposely made interjected into consciousness to manifest foc ...

Spirituality

Around this blog, the term 'spirituality' refers to anything that addresses man's problematic relationship with his beingness. How do we make sense of our existence? Where do our thoughts and perceptions come from, and where do they lead us? How do we rationalize what we do, and why is rationalization necessary  at all? Why are we seeking for answers, and why is there the need for answers at all?

Spiritual growths appears to be - at least to me - the degree to which a person's perceptions, explanations, and attitudes seem to make sense of it all to another group of humans who are faced with similar conundrums. That such people attract the attention they do - even to the point where it can serve as impetus to the formation of a creed, religion or similar social coherent group - is understandable, especially if one's own answers are less sophisticated and have greater shortcomings.

On the other side of the scale it also seems human nature that some might find it attractive, and will aspire, to becoming a leader who can lead others to a promised land. It brings rewards: his or her ideas are validated and given the credentials of group support, but it also gives him or her many social benefits: sexually, materially, in status and often a degree of exemption from common social restrictions, rules and laws.

There are a few subcategories under this main topic but these may change and grow larger as we progress.
