Propaganda arrests?
Are the arrests of Saddam Hussein in 2003 and Julian Assange today picture-based propaganda? Why does Assange all of a sudden have the same look as Saddam Hussein when he was arrested? Or is it just a coincidence?

Facebook was designed for addiction
Facebook was right from the beginning designed to abuse a vulnerability in the human psychology. It is highly effective in making us all addicts and creating money flow from corportate businesses and other propagandists in the new awareness economy.

Why I Love Depeche Mode
When I was a teenager my father once asked me: “Why do you listen to that crap?”
Why the media makes you stupid
It seems to me that 99 % of all the money and work in the media industry goes into making content that makes you stupid: numbing entertainment and propaganda-based news. They call it journalism but it really should be called something else. Or we need a new word for truth-seeking journalism.
The wars on terror are based on a conspiracy theory
Since 9/11 we have had the wars on terror. The war on Afghanistan. The war on Iraq. And now the war on Syria. Next we will have the war on Iran. Or Russia. Never ending war. Unless we, the people, wake up and demand peace!

9/11: The day the laws of physics did not apply
On 9/11 two planes crashed into two scyscrabers in World Trade Center in New York and made three (3) scyscrabers collapse. The third building (Building 7) was not hit by any plane and collapsed several hours after the plane crashes.
Wake up with Building 7
Do you wonder why the war on terror seems to go on forever and ever? Can you find a little bit of curiosity to think outside the box? Do you have a feeling that the media may not always be telling you the truth?
War and peace: What is really happening – and why?
In these times it can be difficult to find trustworthy sources of information about war and peace. Most regular media are filled with propaganda that provides a distorted view of reality. But I can recommend The Transnational if you want to know what is really going on in Syria etc.

What to call it instead of tantra?
Tantra is a misused concept in the West. I suggest that we simple stop using the word ‘tantra’. Here are my alternatives.
If you refer to the true tantra please call it tantric hinduism or tantric buddhism. And know that it has nothing or very little to do with sexuality. In my experience only about 0,001 % of those that think of themselves as tantric are true tantric yogis.
Call it mindfulness instead of tantra
If you by tantra mean mindful sex then please just call it that: mindful sex. There is nothing wrong with sex. There is nothing wrong with mindfulness. It is actually a really nice combination and it does not include misuse of terms. Mindful sex includes energy sex.
If you by tantra mean mindfulness of sensuality in a broader sense then why not just call it that? Mindful sensuality or mindful sensing. Mindful eating is included in that category and it is a general mindfulness practice to come to our senses.
Being mindful means to be aware in a nonjudgmental way. Right mindfulness is when your awareness is combined with loving-kindnesss. Mindfulness is ethical and healthy. It is not just to live in the moment like an animal.
In conclusion: I suggest that ‘mindfulness’ replace ‘tantra’ in the way that we seem to want to use ‘tantra’ in the modern culture.
The secrets about The Secret
The Secret or The Law of Attraction is a popular new age believe that thoughts can change the world directly. It became popular from a documentary movie and a following book by Rhonda Byrne. During the years I’ve met a lot of people that based their lives on this “secret”. Mostly women. This is what I have learned.
The real secrets about The Secret
Secret #1: It creates bad karma
The Secret is basically a modern kind of abuse of the buddhist principle of karma. The Secret teaches that material desire is a good thing whereas buddhism actually teaches that this desire is a root cause of existential suffering. Just based on my personal live experiences I think there is some truth to the concept of thoughts, ideas and intentions create manifestations in the physical world. But this is actually something to be handled very consciously because this craving is the main cause for human suffering. Especially now in the modern world. And from a Buddhist perspective craving more material things and money actually creates bad karma that will backfire on you in this life or your next rebirth.
Secret #2: It makes you passive
Thoughts don’t actually become things in the way The Secret teaches. It mostly creates a dream world where you sit and think instead of going out and doing something real. The real secret is that thoughts and intentions become actions which change the physical world. I have personally experienced women who never get any succes in life because they base their life on The Secret bullshit with thinking instead of action. Wake up and do something! That is my recommendation for real power women.
Secret #3: It prevents political protests
The Secret believers who want world peace and social political change sit and visualise the perfect world instead of opening their mouths and taking the rightful indignation to the streets. This is a perfect way for the powers that be to eliminate protests before they begin. Believers of The Secret actually think that it will make things worse if they engage in real political work because “thoughts become things”. The Secret is The Perfect Bullshit Storm for those that want to continue with all the unjustices, frauds and wars. If I was a conspiracy theorist I could argue that The Secret was actually invented by capitalist war mongers so that they can go on with their dirty business.
Penis care: Three ways to a fit penis
Penis care is an overlooked and taboo subject within holistic health, so it is worth getting to light. Here are three of the extra things (besides water and soap) I do to care for my penis.
Don’t let health dumb you down
Physically and mentally healthy people that don’t care about politics are socially and globally unhealthy. From a holistic point of view their total health is actually low. Awareness of politics includes awareness of the often hidden powers that are pushing you around.
Remember the four dimensions of holistic health:
- Physical health: your body and physical functions
- Mental health: your thoughts and feelings
- Social health: your relations to other people
- Global health: your relations to the global world
Health as indirect political propaganda
Increasing the focus on physical health, lifestyle and mental wellbeing can be a political method to decrease the focus on social and global health. Who could be interested in that? Well, maybe those that just want you to be a healthy working slave for capitalism. They want to keep your physical health as high as possible (so that you can work, produce and pay taxes) and your global health as low as possible (so that you don’t wake up to the deep injustices of the world).
Sustainable health
I would like to launch a new concept: sustainable health.
Sustainable health is:
– Healthy changes in diet, exercise and lifestyle, which the individual can continue (ie behavioral sustainability)
– Healthy changes in diet, exercise and lifestyle, that do not overload the environment at the same time (ie environmental sustainability)
– Healthy changes in the perception of weight and body making us better at carrying and caring for the body (ie bodily sustainablity)
– Healthy changes in mindfulness, which the individual can continue (ie sustainability of mindfulness)
Let us work together for much more sustainable health.
Dieting is a part of the problem
Dieting is a part of the problem of obesity and not a part of the solution.
This is how it goes:
1. Something makes you fat
2. Being fat makes you go on a diet
3. Dieting fucks up your natural body weight regulation
4. You gain even more weight
5. You go on an even stricter diet
6. You become even more fucked up
Sorry for the language. 🙂
The stress eating response
Eating is probably the most widespread method to reduce stress in the modern world. Eating to reduce stress can be done both with and without awareness. Most frequently it is done automatically in the modern world environment with easy access to both stress factors and delicious food.
The stress eating response is natural. Stress increases the craving for food because eating reduces stress. Foods with a high content of sugar, fat and pleasureful taste is especially effective in reducing stress through various biological mechanisms.
I recommend these steps to manage stress eating:
Step 1: Become aware of your stress eating. Accept that it is that: eating to reduce stress. Reflect on the meaningful effects that drive your stress eating. It is not just a bad habbit.
Step 2: Become a mindful stress eater. Accept that stress eating probably will contrinue to be a part of your life. So why not enjoy it? Try also to notice when you have reduced your stress level sufficiently and stop eating at that point.
Step 3: Manage your life stress directly and notice how that reduces your need for stress eating. Practice simply being mindful of stressful feelings, thoughts and situations and let the stress pass by itself.
Don’t skip step 1 and 2. They are necessary to reach step 3.
Weight loss and happiness
Myth: Weight loss makes you happy.
Reality: Joy and happiness makes you lose weight – or stop wanting to lose weight.
Let’s get happy – NOW! 🙂
