Worthless Background Information

This web site came into existence for the sole purpose of placing various things and such on the Internet. Perhaps, or perhaps not, others might ‘get’ something out of it all, but one can only hope not. If nothing else, perhaps the stepping stone being provided will be sufficient in order to get the engine started. Knowledgeable awareness, once started, tends to take on a life on it’s own. It’s just a matter of kick starting it into taking the long fall into oblivion, never to be seen again. It’s a worthwhile endeavor despite that fact that it means nothing — nothing at all.

Other than that, the reader may find references to various religious philosophies while cruising the web site. Please do not make more of this than necessary. All that the various philosophies can do is to light the fire which must eventually burn from within so that one can come to realize that one’s true nature is all that there is. So despite the conceptualizing thought images which may be generated while reading this web site, please remember who it is that is watching the show to begin with. Whatever one sees, whether internally or externally, is separate and apart from one’s self. Awareness means knowing who or what is that which sees the seeing.

It’s true. This could all be a step into an Oblivion in which one will come up more than empty. As a matter of fact, the fullness of one’s nature comes to be quite apparent at the very same time. Strange, but true.

The glass is indeed half empty and half full.

Be the glass and dispense with the rest. Then just be.

Questions & Answers: The Untold Story

Got a question? Or perhaps an answer? Here you may dispose of either or both and then, if you are ever so inclined to once again hold onto them, you may find them here to clutch and to hold. Ahh…. the pleasures of life.

Q: I’m confused. Your site makes mention of Scientology quite a bit and yet you also have various things about other philosophies. So what is the web site really all about? Are you or are you not a Scientologist?

Great questions. There is no one specific ideology or philosophy that is embraced here as our very nature is way above any of these ‘talking points’. In this regard all philosophies, religious or not, share the common idealistic goal of becoming one thing or another. This is not meant to denegrate any particular philosophy which someone might hold in high regard as various means appeal to various personalities. When one exceeds the boundaries, as all philosophies and routes inherently embrace, then there is absolutely no need for any support structure in any format or function. To that end there is no claimed title, any title, that would applicably denote who or what exists here.

What you will find on this website is that which was written in full knowledge, of whatever topic is being discussed. But in reality this is all meaningless as the sole point here is to reverse one’s attention to whence it came and for that attention source to understand it’s own nature, fully and consciously. It’s really such a simple small thing to ask. And so it is.

Q: Is the Free Zone really dead?

There is an amazing amount of grasping, of desiring that some thing will last forever in this universe. The truth of the matter is that this universe is built upon the principals of change, of there being a constant alteration of ‘what is’ or more correctly, the illusion of life and living. When one wishes to hold onto some thought, idea or concept then one is doomed to become the effect of that obsession. Like all things, the Free Zone moves along in time and although some would have that idea become forever cemented in perpetuity, it just isn’t so. Nothing dies because nothing is born. When it comes right down to it, rising above the cructches that one is firmly grasping is about the only thing that enable one’s spiritual freedom is take off.

That’s the idea here.

Poll: Self Reflection

Wandering through life we sometimes mistake experiential input as being our defining moment in time through which we re-evalute and re-adjust our viewpoint and thus assume a new role in continuing our life-long ambition to do some thing, to create some effect in which to find comfort and recompense. This is not always an easy concept to embrace nor do we easily make the attempt to really understand what it is that we are really doing.

Therefore, in due regard to the above, the question becomes:

How much time during the day do you actually spend on being fully and completely conscious of your thoughts, your actions and perhaps your own existence?

This is not a question about what we might like to think about ourselves but about the truth of what it is that we actually do.

After pondering a moment, select the response which most closely matches your own answer, for an average typical day.

Scientology: The Rise And Fall

One fine day many, many years ago there began an internal dialogue rooted in wonderment as to what makes great men great. What is it that elevates mortal man into Stratospheric heights of thinking and being that defies ordinary concepts and ideas? How can one capture the essence of that something ‘special’ which these great men have imbibed themselves within, fully and completely. They make it look so darn easy…

This self reflection came to be interrupted as a knock was heard upon the door. “Have you heard about Dianetics?”

It was a salesman offering his wares. It’s funny how the saying comes to be full-filled that when the student is ready, the teacher appears. After reading about two thirds of the way through “Dianetics: The Modern Science of Mental Health”, I became a convert into the science and philosophy of Scientology by taking the Communications Course at the local Mountain View, California mission. All I can say is, “Wow!”.
