THE STORY OF JOHNNY WHOOPER SWAN We go to school trusting our parents. We meet a teacher there who stands up front with a big desk, and a pointer. She or he trains us in an authoritative manner. We attach mentally to a life long need for authority in order to live lives successfully. Right so far? In my case, at the age of 25 I was ready to enter the practice of law where I hoped for success and a happy life finally. Very shortly, very shortly, I became anxious. There was a foreboding. I was made more uncomfortable with each experience. Law work is nothing like what I was told it would be. The system is corrupt. But I still cling to my expectation that career success is necessary to my happiness as a man. Each day my grasp of what the fuck success amounts to after all becomes more clouded, murkier. I hear songs on the airwaves and at concerts which describe my life as the life of a fool. What am I becoming? I want to rip off my business suit to run naked in the street with my hair on fire! But I am too afraid. In strange, weird (weird comes from a word meaning wise), fragmented steps I go about a journey of my own believing myself to be the first man to have failed in such a total way which journey works so as to break up my career, end a marriage, and start an entirely new way of relating with my two children whom I love deeply. Almost magically I meet a woman who is a career counselor who asserts a beautiful message that I am made to be joyful in my work everyday and at all levels. This understanding sets me on a completely new course. It is no longer a world of systems to me but an undivided one of unlimited beauty. It reminds me of a painting. A true masterpiece. I am drawn from within to learn the truth about my identity and nobody else can teach me that. From this point onward I will use thinking capacity for mastering mechanical processes and follow my heart, which includes my whole nature, which includes your whole nature and that of every human being for all the rest. I’ll go by the name Johnny Whooper Swan who does not explain itself to anyone. By my fruits shall I be known. Watch me soar!

AI


More and more people are becoming aware of AI. Artificial Intelligence…which thought that creates it is telling will be upon us soon on this entire planet in such a powerful way it may well put an end to human beings as that term is understood today altogether. It is thought: robots which those of us still live will serve will absolutely decide our every move. If we consider seriously what effect technology has had already upon the human race through computers and hand held devices it will not be difficult to predict how awful the world can become, all of the misery made by thought itself. From there it becomes apparent. We, the great mass of individuals who have adapted our lives to the demands of the technological rage which cannot be slowed or stopped except by a turning within by each one, alone, to face its awful, destructive power squarely in total conscious awareness of what we have become-and the fact we have done it to ourselves-finding in that the enormous courage and vast intelligence within every human to end it absolutely now! The human brain in your head is constantly under rating itself.


See that we as modern humans are also robots whose thoughts are the perpetrators of AI. Look. Thought first put together an image and taught you to call it “I” that answers to “You”.  It is not AI that is to blame, oh no, AI is but a pawn in a game human thinking has created out of a sense of insecurity and a drive for power over others and a fear of death. Life without love, in other words.


You says,
“I want a job. “ and  “I want the government to keep me safe from hunger and disease and old age and death and to identify and kill my enemies for me”. The government, knowing your thoughts, makes up a system to make you believe it will do all this for you since you, as you are made, are incapable of leading a fruitful and satisfying life. One government system is based on an ideal of private ownership of property and building of fictitious businesses to grow wealth enough to hire many employees to offer products and services and convince people they “need” them. The wages and profits from business and property is taxed to afford systems for education, military strength, medicine, and old age pensions. Is this anything other than AI? Examine it. There is not one bit of natural, living truth involved in it. Even the criminals in these systems are robots of the systems. Even the rebels are the same. Rebellion always replaces one form of authority with another. So, it follows the robots built by any system are bound to do the same. 


The simplest way to put it is to point out that thought has and always must divide people from each other in complete defiance of the truth that the entire Universe is one, inseparable whole. The past and the future are contained in the present but we are but the dead ashes of yesterday. Shallow thinking got us into this mess and only an intelligence born out of love for each other can take us home. 


Together, as one, completely, we are capable of crossing the river of ignorance born of shallowness to the other shore where peace at last will reign.  There, if one eats all eat. Look. Nobody has to tell you you are hungry. There is hunger and you control it not. In such humility and awe approach a new life. What gives hunger will feed you. 


Nobody wanted a personal computer. Nobody wanted a mobile phone. Nobody wanted a light bulb. Henry Ford had a sickness in his stomach, it is told. On watching a kid eat a hamburger Henry said “I would give all my wealth to eat a burger like that young boy!” Rather than stopping here let the truth of the matter carry your consciousness deeper and deeper and deeper for every day life brings.
