First thoughts

Well, I'm starting a blog. Surprising! For once though, you won't find out about me - my problems, my adventures and my personal life. In fact, you need never know my name.

I, like you, was born into this world without a choice. I was brought up expected to believe what I was told, only to question within set limits, only to make decisions on the basis of an insivisble multiple-choice selection. We may not realise it all the time, but to think outside the box has become something of a sin. It results in scorn, exclusion, being called crazy... so the likelihood is most of you won't have done much of that.

The sad thing is the brain is an organic thing - your thoughts are largely the results of neurons and chemicals, and as such can be programmed and controlled by those who know how. I'm sure you are aware of the way in which the media programme you to want those new shoes/that new games console/that car - well, in happens in all areas of your life, not just with regards to consumerism. I'm talking about religion, education and all that but also subliminal messenging.

Anyway this first post is not meant to be in any way dogmatic, or to give off the "YOU'RE ALL BRAINWASHED" vibe... because the truth is, at the end of the day, I don't know. There are so many mixed messeges coming from all sides that it's hard to know which one is really right.

On the one hand we have the mainstream media, and on the other side is the underground community of people who believe the mainstream media is a load of crap. I try to take a happy medium between "logic" and conspiracy theory because it's easy to get caught up in either whirlwind - but not if you keep a strong mind.

Now, I know that "They" will know who I am, as they know everyone who writes anything within what I call the Conspiritual community. [Conspiriatual = conspiracy + Spiritual] Don't underestimate how much of your activities can be traced when you're connected to the internet. Some people, however, know this and hide their opinions, reserving them for quiet rooms and whispered conversations. Perhaps I should fear the consequences but at the moment there is no law that tells me I cannot express an opinion over the internet, and I believe in freedom of speech and justice I shall say what I want while I still can.
Just wait until I start posting for real!
