The Soul as an Intelligent System

You control you when fear is defeated

“You have power over your mind- not outside events – Realise this and you will find strength”- Thus wrote Marcus Aurelius- Who was heralded as Ancient Rome’s greatest Emperor. However, there is not much to choose from regarding Tyrants who sought to enslave and subjugate other peoples under the callous boot of the then Roman Empire.

Contrary it was a slave of Rome who is better admired and remembered in the minds of ordinary people. Spartacus never wrote down his musings– Yet if he had, surely it would have been- “Live Free or die a slave” He walked his talk- rather than fight other gladiator slaves for the elite’s entertainment and distraction of Rome’s bloodthirsty citizens- He, Spartacus decided it better to fight for freedom.

After sending tremors through the elites of Rome- It is ironic that the military leaders who eventually defeated Spartacus- Crassus, Pompey and Caesar all met inglorious ends.

Crassus, Rome’s richest citizen having molten gold poured down his throat in mockery of his love of wealth and power by the Parthians he had sought to conquer.

Pompous Pompey was beheaded in Egypt by Cleopatra’s brother, co regent and rival after seeking military help to beat Caesar and Mark Anthony who were hot on his tail after defeating his army.

And finally, Caesar was stabbed to death by conspiring senators.

Spartacus also did some terrible things and there are many versions of the truth.

But people love a good story- a hero or indeed heroin- a freedom fighter.

We often wear rose tinted spectacles to colour truth to our liking. Yet stories inspire- I believe because we all want to be the hero of our own story- our life. As David Bowie sang “We can be hero’s just for one day” I say yes but not just for one day but forever.

Real hero’s often go unsung- My Dad was my hero when I was a child- always fighting for the underdog yet gentle by nature and a lover of people and animals- always seeking the best in others- He was only five foot two and half inches tall yet stood up to brawny bullies putting them in their place and also putting me right when I was wrong- No books have been written about him- There are no Hollywood blockbuster movies of my Dad’s story- He would laugh at the thought of it.

No one is in control of any in reality- All can say No- All can rule themselves be self-sovereign- They can kill your body, but you must know that your soul- who you are in reality is immortal and this life is but a flash in the pan- so what is there to fear.

They the elites killed Spartacus the body, but they could not kill the idea of Freedom from slavery- this is why common folk love his story.

People are ruled by fear, but fear faced melts away. You- your soul existed long before you were born on Earth and will continue to exist into Eternity. And there is way to prove to yourself what I speak of- not in a way of religion or mysticism but simple common sense- I intend to explain this in future writings . . .

The Soul as an Intelligent System

Whether dreaming, awake or any other state of being- we are always conscious. For example, you can be conscious you are dreaming, conscious you are dead and in another realm of being.

Magnesium: Chicken Soup for your Immune System

Magnesium has a strong relation with the immune system. We all know that vitamin D3 plays an essential role in our immune systems. But any conversation about Vitamin D is incomplete without a discussion of the mineral magnesium.

Soul as an Intelligent System

Your body is a temporary system containing many other supporting systems. Your immortal soul, you, the conscious you, that which tells you, you are you, is also a part of a greater system, a greater consciousness.

When I was child, before I could articulate feelings into words and could only gurgle, laugh or cry, I had an experience that others have also spoken of as having.

“The power or faculty attaining direct knowledge or cognition without evident rational thought and inference-immediate apprehension or cognition -quick and ready insight.”

The Soul as an Intelligent System

“What a beautiful gift it would have been for all of us, if we hadn’t had our thinking done for us, mostly before we were born- If we therefore didn’t know what we are supposed to think, or to believe- If our minds had not been conditioned or caged but allowed to fly free as a bird.”

If you’ve ever received an Amaryllis bulb in a box for Christmas, you know what a delight those big, beautiful blooms are in the middle of winter. But have you ever wondered if you can make it bloom the next year?

The Soul as an Intelligent System

Life seemingly arose within nothing, from nowhere. But “nowhere” like “nothing” truly exists. Nowhere being a place unknown, a place yet to be discovered.

Radioactive waste: Placating a Phobia

You’ve heard it all before: not in my backyard! No nukes in Illinois, California, etc… But how many lives are being saved? Are there any bold heroes we should thank for standing up to the nuclear boogeyman?

The Soul as an Intelligent System

Many “Creation” myths, when deciphered, beyond their archaic context and without viewing them literally but by viewing them intuitively. Speak of order emerging from chaos, in the form of a Conscious Higher Intelligence.
