Simplify the intellectual and intellectualize the simple. Confuse yourself and then you can figure out your confusing self. You are not that much different than the next moron that we call people. Sometimes the easy way is the best way. It's just hard to tell what the difference between what is easy and what's hard. What's right and what's wrong? Questions answer questions. Answers are simply reasons. Reasons are only as good as the perception of reason itself. A man walks on a tight rope because of his belief of his own balance. Beliefs are the balance of reason and the rope is simply an obstacle that is only surmounted without reason. Justice is only as just as the reasoning of the righteous. Justice doesn't need reason. Justification is an opinion of what reason is chosen by individual belief. Make believe is a made up reason of being; an individual perception unique to each person. These beliefs are considered to be reality. This reality is made up by our own beliefs. Change is possible with an open mind. With an opening you can make believe. Make believe reminds us of childlike innocence and often perfection; to achieve happiness and to believe in the make believe that you have dreamed to be. All you have to do is believe in yourself that you have the power to make believe this life to become the greatest you've ever imagined. Fear is the cause of broken hearts and lost dreams. Doubt keeps us giving up and society crushes our hope of the fairytale and leaves the happily ever after only a myth.

Happiness is a perception. Perfection is an opinion. Magic is simply a belief in something that makes us happy. What are we? How can we feel this way and what is the answer to our soul? Magic! We are all capable of making magic because we are a work of magic ourselves. Man cannot create consciousness without the miracle of conception. This conception is of such nature that science cannot define with any just reason. Consciousness has no scientific solution or chemical makeup that can be created by manmade machines. (I am unaware to the contrary.) The only thing that man has ever come close to this is in a dream that which anything is possible and creativity is endless. We are a miracle of an unknown origin. That means every time we create a new human life through the miracle of reproduction we create magic. Magic creates man. Man must surely be capable to create magic. We use only a small amount of our brains and that seems like a waste. The human is capable of things that we may never know. I believe in the power of mankind. The answer is inside of every one of us. Inside of us is the miracle that we each truly are. As a child we believe in things that we learn by our peers that we are not capable of as we move toward adulthood. We believe in our limitations. We settle for less than our childhood dreams. Knowledge is limited to what we are allowed to learn. We only know what they allow us to know. We are governed by a fear that society presents in behaviors and we adapt to our surroundings. We settle! We follow the rules that they made for fear of punishment or death. We know so little of ourselves and the less we know the easier we are to control.

Knowledge costs money! Conformity is considered normal and delusional is considered insanity that is only defined by a perception that has been programmed by society. Human evolution is about evolving for the better. Peace is the goal. Happiness is what we want to achieve. Limited by a belief system that has seemingly evil altering motives driven by power and greed have us censored by a government that our peers are puppeteers’ by to feel obligated to discourage abstract ideas and to place taboo images on the unpopular acts that they fear from a misunderstanding perception of what they are told is right and wrong. Told to fear the very God that they are told to follow in a footsteps that are impossible to achieve and calling it a sin to be how you are threatening a life after death that is called hell.

Also, by saying that there is only one almighty judge and then sentencing men to death by an appointed judge that we seem to feel is a justifiable exception to this rule. We all judge. We all must live and learn by these morals that have been created inside each and every one of us by such judgment formed morals. Society dictates our beliefs. We can only know what we are able to comprehend through our trials and errors in this life that teaches lessons; lessons that are opinion based and contradictory. Loop holes are today's lazy attitude that one sided rules only make it okay for you to bend the rules and not them, an attitude that is contrary to the fact that you are them to them; leaving us all feeling like the exception to the rules and entitled to break them when it's convenient for us.

Speaking of us, we are often more focused on me, and we is all too often I, and the team only works together when we can personally benefit from them. We step on the toes of our so called friends that we talk bad about behind their back and then use their ideas to get ahead in life without remorse because we feel justified by the way the world works. In mysterious ways is the act of the man who pretends to be picture perfect and better than the very people that they used to be best friends with until the socialites finally accepted you into their inner circle on the condition you stop associating with the lower class (friends). Virtually lowering your class in the process and feeling guilty when you remember the time when you were feeling down and out and he was the only one there for you.

I'm sorry for myself because I am part of this cycle too. Whether I like it or not, I live in this society of my understanding, that you create an all too grim picture of with the poor old me wishing to be someone else attitude. Rich folks typically worked hard for success but we are all too quick to bad mouth them because it's the way we view the upper class. They are people and like us they are here on this Earth for the same reason. Divided by circumstance we place labels on people with spiteful motifs. Jealous of his, we tend to de-humanize the rich, as if they got rich just in spite of our misfortune. We treat them as if they owe us, and for what? The poor look upon the rich as if they are greedy savages and then turn around to beg them for money.

The rich feel like they worked hard for what they've earned and the government wants to tax them more so that the poor can collect more welfare as the small business owner files bankruptcy because he couldn't compete and the middle class vanishes into a cloud of traumatized foreclosures that they rent out to a family of 6 that live paycheck to paycheck and live in a financial hole that will only get deeper and deeper as a face appears of bitter truth that they will work until the day they die because the thought of retirement is like thinking that my writing will actually change the world and people will one day realize that the answer to this entire existence is inside of each and every one of us and the only way to truly know the potential we possess is to unite with one another and to simply believe. Hope is the answer. Strength is in our belief. The belief is in the magic that we truly are capable to create. The outcome will be a miracle that we have all been waiting for our entire lives.

It's simple because it's easy to find. The trick is getting past the fear. The fear is doubt. Society is the obstacle that we must overcome. The imagination is the key to unlocking the image of truth. The truth is inside of us and the truth will set us free. Alone we are only as strong as our dream. Together our dreams are the magic, that if we can simply believe in each other, then together we will all create the miracle together. You are the magic that when we all combine together we create the miracle that has been our life long goal that if you believe in your gift and in each other our life long search for life's true meaning will finally be revealed through the power of the collective consciousness. It's as simple as making a wish and believing in a miracle. You are the miracle. Together we can set the table of life and feast forever from the freedom that can only be experienced through the miracle that is mankind. I am serious, if you haven’t caught that by now. This is all about Ambivaliss: The Mint-Mental Society!
