What interests me the most, is a persons mind.
Their stories, their thoughts. The memories. The secrets that lay dormant in their head, waiting to be told. I find it so interesting. Cause I have been through a lot. And I am just fascinated by other’s struggles. Everyone has their own struggle. I love learning about someone’s life. How they came to be the person they are today, why they act or talk the way they do. It’s just very interesting.

Who else is deeply interested in matters of the mind? Psychologically or philosophically?
I’ve always been fascinated with the nature of human behavior. Along with the inner spiritual workings of a person (or lack thereof)

This video breaks my heart. I know its probably pretty old but I just saw it today. It amazes me the ignorant racist bullshit that comes out of peoples minds. I wish they had paid attention in their world history classes about what really happens in this country & how it became the way it is. We are all immigrants technically speaking. This country was not America since the dawn of time. There were native americans living in the New World before Christopher Columbus came mistakenly thinking it was India…hence the politically incorrect slanders for Native Americans. Indians. & once the spaniards came they killed, enslaved, and raped the Native people thus creating Mexicans. Mexicans have been so looked upon as societies burden or scapegoat. But that has not always been my cultures existence. I want to educate people on the mathematics and technology they brought. Or how everyone is obsessed with the Mayan calendar & the whole 2012 issue. These beautiful cultures that no longer exist are roots and stems from which Mexicans come from. And the romans they talk about. Women were not citizens and if they want to bring back that political system then sure. Lets have someone who will keep themselves in power until HE gets assassinated by his own government.
As much as what has been said & how heart breaking it is I cant hold them accountable. This is the environment that our youth grows up in. This is the racist lies that are feed into our minds from the time we can even form a though, the truth isn’t taught to us. I do wish history was taught to us correctly and that people would interpret it with an open mind.
I can not even watch this whole thing. The point that our youth has gotten to is so unbelievably fucked up and ignorant. Where did they even learn this shit? Their parents? Because it doesn’t sound like they have the “facts” either. Pretty much all I’m getting from this is “Hello, I’m ignorant and hateful & would love to broadcast it to the world.” I am almost bothered to say I’m living in the same country as these young, misguided minds (and the many more like them). The only reason I stay is to hopefully spread as much love&light as humanly possible (it’s needed) to hopefully continue spreading such. Something’s gotta give, and I’m hoping to be a player in the great shift.
*Oh, and you can’t exactly blame these youngsters anyways. They obviously grew up with a lack of commonly needed things (morals/values/love/wisdom/etc) in order to grow into a decent/caring/loving/OPEN human being. They are all missing such an important element to their life, all I can feel is sympathetic. I certainly hope that change is possible for them (as most things ARE possible), but as we all know also- we humans can be so STUBBORN!

By day, in my graduate studies, I was being taught a psychology that seemed to me to cover only a small fragment of the mind. As I’ve noted earlier in this book, I felt as if I were studying physics with teachers who had no idea that electricity, atomic power, and television existed. I would listen, take notes, ask appropriate questions, and try to appear as if I were not dumbfounded by the tiny little nibbles my instructors seemed to assume were the whole of the apple of knowledge.
