10 most Embarrassing Beauty Problems solved! Orly?

I get junk in my mailbox sometimes. Well... actually more than just "sometimes". This time it had a heading saying "10 most Embarrassing Beauty Problems solved". I was curious. I thought to myself: what would they define as "embarrassing"?
So I clicked, and found out the 10 things we should all be very embarrassed about!
1.Cold sores
2.Dandruff
3.Warts
4.Cystic Acne
5.Hairy moles
6.Bad breath
7.Bacne (acne on your back)
8.Ingrown bikini line haires
9.Bruised toenails
10.Dark armpits

Start to become embarrassed people!
I score a 3 out of 10 on this. So I should be a little less than average embarrassed but still enough to be pretty uncomfortable with myself.

Seriously, this shit is bullshit. Girls (and guys), if you read shit like this, skip it or laugh about it. There is no need to be insecure about any of such things, no need at all! Unless you desire a world where people go around judging each other and themselves constantly. Oh oops.. we already have that world.
But it doesn't have to be that way. We can change it and the best prove is by starting with yourself.
By releasing your own shame and accepting your body for what it is and stop allowing fears about other people's judgements. If they are that shallow and ignorant to judge such things, it tells you a lot about who THEY are and not about who you are.

I got dandruff since years, my dad has it, his dad has it as well. I dont use shampoo, they try to use all kinds of shit. Does it help? Nope. Does it embarrass me? Not in a million years.

We have created this world, where everything revolves around money. This system feeds off people's insecurity because that way it can sell. People will try to releave the insecurity by buying the stuff that will "cure" them and make them stop being embarrassed or insecure. And why are they insecure? Because they are told to BE insecure! If you are not trained to feel insecure about these things, if you are not around judgemental people, and around people who care about you as a living being - you will in no way develop an insecurity. Only in a society of competition, judgement, hostility and gossip will these feelings spring up.

So this money system does not only create the most obvious abuse such as hostile competition, corruption, sweatshop work, crime, poverty, starvation ... it also creates internal abuse and the feeding thereof. It uses slogans and images to manipulate the minds of young people and children. Ofcourse also adults, but these things start early  in childhood.

It is about time for a change, and a change will go gradually, starting with the Equal money system. A system based on life, respect and equality. From there on, a new human being can develop. A human being no longer brainwashed by the money machines that keeps everything in chains.

Is Stephen Hawkins going to hell?

Hawking said in an interview this week that he doesn't believe in an afterlife, and he said the notion of heaven is a "fairy story."

He told the British newspaper, The Guardian: "I regard the brain as a computer which will stop working when its components fail. There is no heaven or afterlife for broken-down computers."

22 may.
Now the rapture is over, we see how an asshole God is because he left my innocent dog here to burn and suffer in Armagedon. What did he ever do to piss off God so much? There are children running around outside, maybe God decided to leave them here to make doomsday abit more spectacular, with screaming fearfull children everywhere. A doomsday simply isn't complete without it.
I survived the rapture, and so did you.

Now let's get serious, the whole rapture-scenario again failed. We have been busy with these kinds of predictions for thousands of years. It is not hard to make predictions, you say something will happen without a specific date (or something people can read into), and then you have eternity to wait for something like that to happen. Isn't that wonderful :) When something like that happens, it doesnt even mean the prophecy came true.

Humanity has this hope for dramatic events. They like to wait and fantasize about it, but when it happens, they soon realise it is not as fun as it looked inside their mind. Because fear sets in, anxiety, pain...

We don't realise how evil we are by desiring such things. We don't realise how blind we are for believing books of religion and automaticly believe the creature in the book which calls itself "god" to be good, and then we blindly follow it and worship it. It is exactly what we do in this world with our leaders. We wait for them to change things, we hope they will change things and we blame them when things go wrong.
We place them on a higher level than ourselves, while they are just living beings like us. We place them on top because we want them to make things better for us. We always look for sheppards, so we can be the sheep. This is an abusive design, programmed within many, and easy to see for yourself.
If we do not learn to take self-responsibility and realise we are equally as powerful to change things - if we dont, then things will never change and we will remain in our loops of ups and downs. For some way more downs than ups.

So doomsdays come and doomsdays go...
Here are 10 Doomsday precitions which failed to materialize:

The Prophet Hen of Leeds, 1806It seems that a hen began laying eggs on which the phrase "Christ is coming" was written. As news of this miracle spread, many people became convinced that doomsday was at hand — until a curious local actually watched the hen laying one of the prophetic eggs and discovered someone had hatched a hoax.

The Millerites, April 23, 1843A New England farmer named William Miller, after several years of very careful study of his Bible, concluded that God's chosen time to destroy the world could be divined from a strict literal interpretation of scripture. As he explained to anyone who would listen, the world would end some time between March 21, 1843 and March 21, 1844. He preached and published enough to eventually lead thousands of followers (known as Millerites) who decided that the actual date was April 23, 1843. Many sold or gave away their possessions, assuming they would not be needed; though when April 23 arrived (but Jesus didn't) the group eventually disbanded—some of them forming what is now the Seventh Day Adventists.

Mormon Armageddon, 1891 or earlier
Joseph Smith, founder of the Mormon church, called a meeting of his church leaders in February 1835 to tell them that he had spoken to God recently, and during their conversation he learned that Jesus would return within the next 56 years, after which the End Times would begin promptly.

Halley's Comet, 1910
In 1881, an astronomer discovered through spectral analysis that comet tails include a deadly gas called cyanogen (related, as the name imples, to cyanide). This was of only passing interest until someone realized that Earth would pass through the tail of Halley's comet in 1910. Would everyone on the planet be bathed in deadly toxic gas? That was the speculation reprinted on the front pages of "The New York Times" and other newspapers, resulting in a widespread panic across the United States and abroad. Finally even-headed scientists explained that there was nothing to fear.
Pat Robertson, 1982
In May 1980, televangelist and Christian Coalition founder Pat Robertson startled and alarmed many when — contrary to Matthew 24:36 ("No one knows about that day or hour, not even the angels in heaven...") he informed his "700 Club" TV show audience around the world that he knew when the world would end. "I guarantee you by the end of 1982 there is going to be a judgment on the world," Robertson said.
Heaven's Gate, 1997
When comet Hale-Bopp appeared in 1997, rumors surfaced that an alien spacecraft was following the comet — covered up, of course, by NASA and the astronomical community. Though the claim was refuted by astronomers (and could be refuted by anyone with a good telescope), the rumors were publicized on Art Bell's paranormal radio talk show "Coast to Coast AM." These claims inspired a San Diego UFO cult named Heaven's Gate to conclude that the world would end soon. The world did indeed end for 39 of the cult members, who committed suicide on March 26, 1997.
Nostradamus, August 1999
The heavily obfuscated and metaphorical writings of Michel de Nostrdame have intrigued people for over 400 years. His writings, the accuracy of which relies heavily upon very flexible interpretations, have been translated and re-translated in dozens of different versions. One of the most famous quatrains read, "The year 1999, seventh month / From the sky will come great king of terror." Many Nostradamus devotees grew concerned that this was the famed prognosticator's vision of Armageddon.
Y2K, Jan. 1, 2000
As the last century drew to a close, many people grew concerned that computers might bring about doomsday. The problem, first noted in the early 1970s, was that many computers would not be able to tell the difference between 2000 and 1900 dates. No one was really sure what that would do, but many suggested catastrophic problems ranging from vast blackouts to nuclear holocaust. Gun sales jumped and survivalists prepared to live in bunkers, but the new millennium began with only a few glitches.
May 5, 2000
In case the Y2K bug didn't do us in, global catastrophe was assured by Richard Noone, author of the 1997 book "5/5/2000 Ice: the Ultimate Disaster." According to Noone, the Antarctic ice mass would be three miles thick by May 5, 2000 — a date in which the planets would be aligned in the heavens, somehow resulting in a global icy death (or at least a lot of book sales). Perhaps global warming kept the ice age at bay.
God's Church Ministry, Fall 2008
According to God's Church minister Ronald Weinland, the end times are upon us-- again. His 2006 book "2008: God's Final Witness" states that hundreds of millions of people will die, and by the end of 2006, "there will be a maximum time of two years remaining before the world will be plunged into the worst time of all human history. By the fall of 2008, the United States will have collapsed as a world power, and no longer exist as an independent nation." As the book notes, "Ronald Weinland places his reputation on the line as the end-time prophet of God."

Have we had enough already? Isn't it time we start to work with what is HERE on earth? The suffering that is present on our planet, created by our human installed system, and has been here for thousands of years.
If you want heaven, you will have to create heaven.
Because this world is simply the sum of all us individuals together.

21 May - The Rapture is Here!! Wait.... where is it?

According to some christian folks, the rapture is today, thats right, RIGHT NOW!
In case it's true... RIP everyone!

Here is one of the pages that claim today is judgement day :
http://judgementday2011.com/
There is another person, the host from Family Radio who sais he is 100% certain. I have tried to contact him that maybe he could donate the remaining money he has to the Equality movement, but I got no reply. To bad...
Oh but wait people, do you know why we see nothing?
Because the "chosen ones" are probably taken up into heaven and we are left to suffer a horrible death of extreme suffering. And my little nephew is still here, wonder what he did to make God so freaking angry that he nows has to suffer an excruciating end.
"The May 21st End of the World prediction only applies to those who will be saved on Judgment Day 2011 in the Rapture.  Those who aren’t saved in the May 21 Rapture will suffer a different fate, and an End of the World date 5 months after May 21st."

May 21st Judgement Day is going to be the decisive day when Jesus returns for the Rapture.  True believers will be brought to Heaven, and that will be the End of The World for the approximately 3,000,000 people will be saved, according to Harold Camping.

If people who blindly believe in a book, installed by corrupt elite religious institution, get saved and the rest can fuck off for not blindly following an idea/believe... Then I dont want to be part of that heaven in the first place. Imagine being there with people who blindly follow anything that calls itself God. Do you know how dangerous that is. Seriously, it can be a demon in disguise or an evil alien and people would follow it's every command. Thats fucking scary! Imagine being stuck with those people. Whenever you have a question like: "Hey, God why did you place those demons into pigs and make them run of a cliff? Why didnt you just... kill the demons? ". People would go like: SHUT UP YOU BLASPHEMIST! YOU CANNOT QUESTION THE ALMIGHTY.
"but...what if the almighty is.. evil..."
AAAAAAAAH BURN THE WITCH!

lol. The idea of worshipping a god is so deeply installed within us. We hear the word "god" and immediatly we connect it to something that is good and much better than us.
This is not the way we will sort out this mess on Earth. But that is what many christians dont care about, which shows what a trap religion is. It is like "don't do anything, just believe and wait for heaven and try to convert as many others in the meanwhile". It used to be a great tactic in the older days to keep the poor serving and obedient to the rich elite (which the church was part of), and to not have them go for any change and keep them numb. And well well well... it is still happening even today!

So if such a rapture commes, ask yourself if you really would want to be part of such a thing, and blindly follow a being that claims itself to be god, but is not in actions. If the rapture does come, all starving children should today be removed from the planet, will it happen?

There have been doomsday dates and scenario's for ages, they have always existed. It is time we stop waiting for these events, or imagine about them, and fix what we have done on this planet. Stop the abuse we allow every single day. Fuck an armageddon! For many people, doomsday is every single day. For the child prostitute who has to have sex with old dirty men, for the starving person who's body suffers in pain due to malnutrition and cant even whipe the flies from his face because of weakness, for the families running from bombs and guns , their houses and everything destroyed ...

Stop waiting for a rapture, let's create heaven on earth.

How To Speak Na'vi

The chances are high that you have seen the movie "Avatar" and were quite amazed with this movie and the message it brings. I can say that I really enjoyed that movie and is probably the best I have ever seen.

However... (you knew this was comming didn't you?)

There is something we have to consider. When we watch such spectacular movies, we get this feeling over us when the movie is finished - you know this "special" feelings that makes you want to be part of a world as presented in the movie. Lot's of people who saw that movie say it is their ideal planet, that it is how they would like to live.
Just check this Facebook group called: "Earth sucks, I want to go live on Pandora"

Who's fault is it that "Earth sucks"? Our fault. The Earth itself did not pop up banks and corporations that demolish life for profit, it did not pop out religious institutions that keep people blind and obedient, it didn't pop out atomb bombs and corruption... We popped all that shit out of our minds. We have created it , using the resources from Earth. With all the directions we could take with it, we chose a very destructive way of living. We didn't decide to live in harmony and cooporate, we decided to follow our pre-programming and destroy and compete. We have even destroyed entire nations with atomb bombs, we go to war for the resources of other countries so we can make money and they... we'll, we apparantly dont care about "them". They are not our family anyway right? We are pretty safe here, in our houses which look like castles to a starving person, with our pc's and tv's we spy on the world and read all the gossip. We read about poverty and crime and think "oh that is so bad :'(" , while we click the "I sign this petition" button and get on with our lives of not giving a shit.
Because giving a shit shows in our actions and what we direct our lives towards, not in our words and feelings. You can say you care, but if you don't live up to your words it doesn't mean anything.

So most of us, would be part of the humans destroying Pandora. You may not like it, but you can easily be brainwashed to agree with the status quo keepers, so you would probably stand numb at the side. "Let those on top take care of it". Those on top are on top because they crave power, why trust them if you see how the elite of the world is controlled by profit. Why do you think that suddenly they will start to work for the common good while they never did? Are they more than you, better than you? No. They were once born as babies, with their diapers and their toys and they grew up within a society corrupted by profitdrive and various other factors related.
All of us are equally responsible for this world and ourselves. It is time we stop placing ourselves as inferior because it is very easy to do that, nice excuse to not having to do anything when you can say "I am not this enough or that enough". Skills can be trained, and speaking up does not require vast amounts of knowledge. It takes your will and common sense and self-honesty.

By reading what I just wrote, you now learned to speak Na'vi, which can be spoken in any language existing. Because it is the language of the common good of all, and the protection of our planet and all living beings on it.

Join the Equality movement ! Lets create a strong base foundation of caring beings that in time, will enter the political scene worldwide, and change things. Your not alone.

Culture of Alcoholics

There was a comment recently by someone saying that alcohol should be allowed for the mere fact that people need free choice because else you live in dictatorship and that is never good.

But let me tell ya... the population is so dumbed down, and manipulated, that it is already dictatorship what people do, care about and buy. We just dont see that, it is well hidden. We cant allow abuse as long as this happens, it is not even personal freedom. And I would never for example allow "my personal freedom" if that includes the harm and abuse of the common good. We can't talk about free choice in this world, our choice is not as free as we think it is. Look at beauty, very culturally defined as I have shown in my previous blogpost. And thus money will go to the items that make one more "beautiful" considering the current culture and standards. Same with make up, it gets tested on animals, this is often hidden from the consumer. Or children, being brainwashed by cartoons to be a certain way, or make to desire new toys constantly, bombarded with commercials which will shape them as well. Why do we still believe this system does what is best for us, when we clearly see how many people worldwide are being abused within it and how often corruption happens, manipulation, and how profit is placed above life. How can we believe that that system, actually has our best interest in mind?
Common...


let me give you some facts about alcohol abuse in this world:

-Alcohol consumption by college students is linked to at least 1,400 student deaths and 500,000 unintentional injuries each year
-More than three-quarters of female victims of nonfatal domestic violence reported that their assailant had been drinking or using drugs
-Alcohol does not releave depression - it makes it worse. Alcohol is a depressant
-One third of suicides are associated with alcohol misuse
-10% of alcohol health care costs are for care of fetal alcohol syndrome
-More than 18 million people who use alcohol need substance abuse treatment
-Health care costs attributed to alcohol abuse in 1995 were nearly twice those of drug abuse-related costs ($23 billion vs. $12 billion).
-alcohol misuse costs Australian community 15.3 billion dollars each year when factors such as crime and violence, treatment costs, loss of productivity and premature death were taken into account
-over 3 000 Australians die each year as a result of harmful drinking
-Spending for alcohol ads on T.V. by the alcohol industry grew by 22%, to more than $990 million in 2002.
-Alcohol is often not thought of as a drug, yet it is a hard drug.
-One third of homicides are associated with alcohol misuse
-One half of car accidents are associated with alcohol misuse.
-Alcohol and drug abuse are factors in the placement of more than three-quarters of children entering foster care
- Some 40% of violent crime, 78% of assaults and 88% of criminal damage cases are committed whilst the offender is under the influence of alcohol
-Over 1,000 young people under the age of 15 are admitted to hospital each year with alcohol poisoning
-of those involved in acquaintance rape, 75% of men and 55% of women had been drinking or taking drugs prior to the incident.
-Alcohol causes one to be mind-possessed, oblivious to the reality we live in, and having no self-responsibility what so ever.

Drinking makes such fools of people, and people are such fools to begin with, that it's compounding a felony.
~Robert Benchley

And the Health risks:

-Extended alcohol abuse can cause blood conditions including several forms of anemia and blood clotting abnormalities. These conditions could result in susceptibility to bleeding and bruising. Prolonged alcohol use can also impair white blood cell function and thus makes the abuser more likely to become infected.
-Half the cancers in the esophagus, larynx and mouth are linked to alcohol. Additionally, intense vomiting from excessive drinking can tear the esophogus.
-Excessive and prolonged alcohol consumption can cause contribute to conditions such as high blood pressure, heart disease and heart failure.
-Osteoporosis and and some forms of arthritis can be advanced by alcohol abuse. Further, alcohol can lead to muscle atrophy, which can cause sharp muscle pain and weakness.
-Prolonged heavy drinking can cause kidney failure.
-Alcohol can reduce the amount of digestive enzymes secreted by the pancreas, thereby inflaming and leaking digestive enzymes, which subsequently attack the pancreas itself.
-Because of alcohol's affects on the brain and alcohol's effects on the kidneys, hormonal production is affected.In men, this could mean that the
production of sperm and testosterone are affected, and that can lead to impotence and/or infertility.In women, estrogen metabolism in the liver can be decreased, which boost estrogen levels in the body. These changes can contribute to menstrual irregularities and potentially infertility.
-Alcohol can damage the cells lining the stomach and intestines, which can block the absorption and breakdown of nutrients in those organs.Also make you age faster.

If alcohol has more negative side effects and higher costs than any other drug, When it gives false feelings of happyness and confidence - but leaves many drained and depressed afterwards, When it is involved with more violence, rape, accidents, child neglect and death....

Does the argument of:
"I like to get drunk"

still stand?

Some use the excuse that "a glass a day is healthy".
But so is healthy eating and not eating sugar and junkfood. But you know as well as I do that those things are an excuse for many drinkers + many people cannot hold to the standard of "1 glass a day". and if they really care about their health they would do everything to be a healthy as possible. And many of them simply dont.I know some people who say that it is "healthy" to drink a glass of wine a day. But then on the other hand, they get drunk every week, eat junkfood, are overweight, have had numerous of diseases and even blood cloths etc... It doesnt make any sense, the words dont match their reality and what they do.

Humanity at this stage cannot be trusted with alcohol, we have proven this.Some may be able to use it in moderation, but the masses abuse it extensivly.I would say ban until we are responsible.
We cant allow ana busive substance that is misused by the majority who prove they cannot take responsibility, hoping that some day they will realise and not be dumbed down and that all corporations and elite etc...will give proper education, not hide things, and create a world of value.

We will have to do that, together - so a world of responsible beings can emerge where things dont even have to be forbidden.

And why is weed banned in a lot of countries, but alcohol allowed? It is insane, given the above facts.
Alcohol does do a good job in keeping the population dumb though... So that may be one of the reasons. Oh, and money ofcourse.

And we even support this because we forgot to use our common sense. We even try to pursuade our peers into consuming drugs (which alcohol is). And may even reject them when they decline. We have become our own slave masters. Easy, then no one else has to do the dirty work.

The Hollywood Syndrome

A horrible condition where more and more people suffer from these days.
People who feel as if they are superhero’s, or feeling famous/ having the desire to be seen as famous, people who claim that the CIA is following them,  or that something evil has it’s eyes lurking at them…

Movies are specifically designed to get to the emotions and feelings connected to our desires and fears. Many people will feel “special” when they walk out of a movie theater where they saw a movie like X-men or Avatar. It creates this temporary grand feeling which gets people to feel good or special within themselves.
But it is nothing special or unique at all.

People have this desire to be famous, this desire to be seen or to be in the center of attention. The many reality TV shows give people their 15 minutes of fame. And look at the Veterans who talk about their time at war as if they are great heroes and should be recognized for that, or the old accountant who talks about his long gone football career as if it has changed the world.

And look at those who have seen so many romantic movies, making them dream of a life of ignorance, with a “perfect” male component and living happily ever after. Even copying what they have seen on TV and in the movies because it looks so nice. And of course to do that, you also need to look a certain way. Looking saggy and wrinkly is not allowed anymore. You have to get Botox and fillers and dye your hair. Because age is bad, it is a sin!

Let’s get over ourselves already.

We are not some kind of superhero mutant with special powers

We are not better than another or the Hulk because we have some muscles (while continuously thinking about how good those muscles look on us – isn’t that a female trait guys ;)? It is not so tough when you are pre occupied about LOOKING muscular).

A limousine does not show how great you are – it simply shows the size of your ego and your desire to be seen by others as successful (which is based on insecurity)

Fairytales do not have a happy ending

@Dina Goldstein

The many cartoons and films about violence create a tendency in youngsters to act upon it, and desire to be a superhero. It is portrayed as something awesome and great and masculine. While girls are indoctrinated with movies such as Cinderella and cartoons and adds about Barbie – being sweet, pretty and desiring a boyfriend.

Gender roles are created by our culture

Culture definitely aids in the determination of gender roles. Socialization in all cultures is directly linked to the final product of a human being. Culture dictates, at a very young age, how boys and girls are supposed to act, feel and respond to certain situations.

Boys and girls are separated by gender at birth. Boys are wrapped in blue blankets and girls in pink. Before a child is born, everyone close to the family wants to know what the child will be, so they will know what to purchase. This is very common practice throughout our society. Boys are taught to play with trucks, trains, male action figures, swords and guns. These items aid in defining masculinity. Girls, on the other hand, are taught to play with dolls, toy stoves or easy bake ovens, and other toys to aide them in identifying with nurturing. These factors lead to identifying gender roles by our society. Anything that deviates from this is considered somewhat abnormal. For instance, if a small male child wants to play with dolls, most fathers will immediately intervene and provide them with a more masculine toy. At the very least, he will show disapproval. Girls, on the other hand, may be labeled as a tom boy if they show interest in his truck.

These actions move through adolescence and well into adulthood. Our society is changing true enough. However, these actions are very much in line with the traditional American family.
Certain items labeled as household chores are also fitted into this formula. Boys mow grass, take out the trash and do most of what is determined to be “men’s work.” Girls are expected to wash dishes, mop floors, wash laundry and other feminine chores. Our society has seen numerous changes in these roles, yet our culture has dictated these changes and made them acceptable.

http://www.echeat.com/essay.php?t=28763

The Hollywood syndrome creates illusions of grandeur. A world of competition and inequality. Pushed into a role - primarily because it sells . Check out how gender is defined within our culture and all the various products that play in on that - so that males and females will buy it to fit into their gender definition.

For girls=
Barbie, make up, health shakes for a slim body, pink stuff, girlie and sexy clothing, high heels, beauty treatments, corsets, movies about princesses and girly girls who go after boyfriends etc..;

For man=

Action man, muscle building supplements, movies about fighting and hero's and about the man being the savior and dominator, "masculin" clothing, special deodorants, car toys, non-pink stuff etc...

The list goes on and on, these are just the first examples that I think of.

Toys are more gender-specific than ever before, according to the preliminary findings from a new study carried out by Becky Francis, Professor of Education at Roehampton University.
The study, funded by the Froebel Educational Institute, shows that toys identified by children and their parents as favourites are extremely gender-differentiated, and stereotypical.
As part of the study, over 60 parents of children aged between three and five were asked to nominate their child’s favourite toy. Many of the toys and DVDs selected contained clear messages to users that supported gender stereotypes and notions of gender difference

Dr. Vicki Panaccione, child clinical psychologist and founder of the Better Parenting Institute, agrees with Gussman’s assessment. “I have seen time and time again that young children will, primarily, gravitate toward gender-specific toys,” she says. “Put children in a room, and the boys head for the trucks, blocks and army guys, while girls go to the dolls, kitchens and girly things. I think they are probably hot-wired.”
However, she adds that it is a good idea to expose kids to a variety of toys and be allowed to choose, explore and try out different things. “Children need to be allowed to seek what they seek,” Dr. Panaccione says.

The illusion of Beauty

Did you ever question why you found some people beautiful and others ugly, and why you desire to be as , or even more beautiful - or be envious because you judge yourself to be not?
Who do you think is beautiful? Angelina Jolie? Victoria Beckham? Justin Bieber? Natalie Portman?

When you ask a group of men what and who they find beautiful, their answers will differ according to the time,place or culture they are born in.  In the past it was a sign of beauty to have a white fair skin, while now people run to the solar center to bronze themselves up. The standards in the western culture now a days are to be tall and slender  – sometimes on the verge of anorexia – while ages ago, females who had more fat and bigger breasts and bottoms were considered as beautiful. 

The concept of beauty is related to the prevailing culture which is presented and carried out by print or visual media. The effect of bombarding children and adults with the images of beauty (often fake photoshopped images), is a culture of plastics:  women and men who get plastic surgery and all kinds of procedures done to look “beautiful”, as what is the standard of beauty within their culture or the group they wish to be part of. A plastic, superficial world.

Beauty and survival

Many women want to  enhance their breasts and undergo cosmetic surgery because there is a total obsession with it. People want to attract mates, and image how the other is seeing them. Walking around, thinking about what another is thinking about them, how they are seen, what the other will judge as attractive or not about them. People do this to find a mate, someone to start a relationship with - most of the time looking for someone to have sex with.

Cultural Ethnocentrism

Ethnocentrism is the tendency to believe that your own ethnic or cultural group is the most important, and that all other groups are measured in relation to one’s own. Someone who is ethnocentric will judge other people or groups by his or her own ethnic group or culture. These judgments can be about language, customs, beauty, behavior and religion.

Relativism of culture

There is no scientific standard for considering your own group as intrinsically superior or inferior to others. We should not lift our own culture or group up, just because we are part of it. It is important to look at it with common sense and see what your group or culture supports, why they support it, and if it is really something you want to contribute to. If your culture is one who abuses animals for vanity (which happens in our western culture), does that mean you have to blindly accept this? Of course not – it is an unnecessary practice, which includes massive suffering for the animals that have to undergo those tests.
But culture does have a major influence on who and individual will become. We are not just who we are because of random chance, or because we think that we “made ourselves”. We are largly products of our own culture and those around us which were part of our upbringing (this includes TV and media).
This is one of the reasons why we at Equal Money are working on a change of the world system. Our current world system is based on profit and ego. This will produce human beings that are programmed to support this world system. Within an Equal money system, this ends, profit and ego are no longer part of the system – and true insight, self-honesty and  life education are part of someone life from the very beginning. In that way a person will not be dumbed down like what is currently happening, but will be able to see for oneself who he/she is and take self-responsibility.

Beauty in different times

To have a look at the relativity of beauty

Victorian times

the 1940’s

 

the 70’s

The future?

There is also a difference within subcultures

Beauty in different cultures

In our culture at this time, being slender, 90-60-90 measurements if possible, perfect teeth, hair and fashion  is considered to be pretty.   the means of achieving beauty are sometimes very extreme. From plastic surgery, implants, hair extensions, botox, fillers, hair colour to fitness, diet and cosmetics.  
Also extremely high heels are considered to be beautiful for a woman.

In Fiji, traditionally the body was seen to reflect the community in which the individual lived, rather than the identity of just the individual themselves. Fijian women ate as much as they want and went to lie down afterwards. A lack of appetite and thinness was seen as unhealthy and undesirable.

In Asia the standards for beauty differ from country to country..

Now a days Asia wants to join in with the west, and have adopted many of the western styles including beauty. More and more woman and going for eyelid surgery, to have more “open” eyes like western people.

Foot binding  was a custom practiced on young girls and women for approximately one thousand years in China, beginning in the 10th century and ending in the first half of 20th century. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Foot_binding )

The female members of the Kayan tribe (on the border between Burma and Thailand) are also known as “long necks”. They measure a woman’s beauty according to the amount of rings worn around the neck.

The number of rings are increased as they grow older, which makes the neck longer and longer. This ritual starts at age 5. The shoulders are pushed down due to the pressure of the rings.

Lip plates can be found used by tribes in Africa, South America and the Amazon. For some, the plate size is a measure of social or economic influence or status. But for others, the size is just a matter of how long the lip has been stretched. There are varied reasons for putting the plates, but suffice to say, these tribes see these ‘ornaments’ as beauty and status (http://www.funtasticus.com/2008/10/30/african-beauty-lip-plates/)

In India they were lots of jewellery, coloured saris and long hair.

In Africa the idea of beauty varies from one side of the continent to the other. In Ethiopia, the women of the Karo tribe wear scars on their stomachs meant to attract a husband. The scarring process starts in childhood and once finished it means that the woman can get married and have children.

In Mauritania a beautiful woman is a woman with curves…big curves. Young girls are even being force fed to fatten up. A big lady is more likely to be desirable and get a man. Divorced woman are also considered attractive, because it shows that they are liked by males.  

In the Middle East beauty is sometimes not connected with what ones sees, but with one does not see, or with what one smells or catches a glimpse of. From the head to toe black covers women wear (abaya) that sometimes revealing only the eyes, that are made up with dark eyeliner sometimes, henna tattoos, oud and coloured fabrics, scarves and jewellery.

For Polynesian women , tattooing the lips and chins is considered to be beautiful.

 

Beauty styles and standards are in our cultures used to make profit from. As long as people desire to look a certain way, they will look for those things to fulfill that desire – and when they have the money they will probably buy it. Our system exploits this, and creates judgments that people take into themselves and project onto themselves and others.
Those judgments only do harm. Is it really best for yourself to judge yourself like that? Instead of being fine with no matter what you look like? Accept your physical body as it is without needing to become a certain image that the world recognizes, or to attract males to find you attractive, have fantasies about you and desire to have sex with you? Or the other way around – males that do this so that females will find them attractive. Is this really the superficial world we have all been dreaming of? Is this what is the perfect world to you?

We also have to realize that many of those objects and items bought to enhance our so called “beauty”, are made by sweatshop workers, who work sometimes 18 hours a day for barely any money – or the make up and all kinds of beauty products that are tested on animals.

Why do we allow ourselves to look at others, and start to judge them according to how they look?  We place all value on the appearance, and become like empty bags moved by the money wind mills of the system that blows us to wherever it wants to. And we are so dumbed down to not even notice it – or to accept it as normal because it feels so normal. It is all we have ever known.
Like when I went to my grandparents after I shaved my hair off – my grandmother could not get passed my image, and even admitted that who I am is what I look like, and my inside is non important.

Is this the kind of world we want? The kind of world we want to create for the children to come? A world system that exploits in the sake of profit and ego? If you do – then that is because you have only become a product of the system and have lost yourself completely, not even knowing how much in a prison you really are.

We can change this, by changing ourselves as well as changing the monetary system. All people should have the ability to live a dignified life , to express themselves and to actually discover life. People can still discover various styles and expressions – but none of it will be for the sake of exploitation and profit making through ego and abuse. And THAT is the major difference.
Visit the desteni I process website and the equal money movement – we are paving the way for the children to come. The new world is on the way, and it is waiting for you.

Don’t miss it’s call, because you will miss yourself.

Woman gets seizure after beating from teen girls in McDonalds

In a McDonald's restaurant in Baltimore, a 22 years old white (wtf?) woman went into a severe epliteptical looking seizure, after she was beaten and kicked for minutes by 2 black (ahum) teen girls. They were both 14 and 18 years old, and got arrested. The staff was also behaving inappropriate by doing hardly anything, and even laughing while filming the event.

They assume the "blind attack" happened after a discussion in the toilets. The two teen girls suddenly started to beat the woman.

You can watch the rest in the video.

First of all - pretty racist title. It doesn’t matter whether the person is black or white. Yet they had to place this title in a way to get racist remarks to spark up - which indeed happened in the newspaper comments section. The two girls could have gone bezerk because she was making extremely racist remarks for example. This is all very unclear, but a clear stigma is placed within the article already.

Fighting and beating someone up is in no way justifiable, but it merely shows the way we raise the children of this world. We set the example as adults, which the children will copy and carry on into their future behavior. And it is not only their direct environment that has influence, but also TV shows, magazines and various forms of media.

Within a world that is driven by profit, you create beings that are products of that profit and ego driven system. Thus what do we expect? We allow animal testing for vanity, we allow movies and cartoons projecting judgment, superficiallness, ego, anger and spite, we allow gender role definitions, we allow racist undertones, we allow education to fit the profit machine which is not about realization and self honesty. This and much more, creates children, teens and adults that will blindly follow how they are programmed in this world – as what has been shown and taught to them. No self-direction, no insight and no self-responsibility. Because only when your emotions and ego totally control you, you are able to go into such extreme anger that you will be able to physically or mentally attack another person. A big button has to be pushed within you to trigger such a reaction, which you become a total slave of. And it is totally self-created. Because you allow it to consume your thoughts and direct you. And it will as well direct people to become racists, because it will make them feel better about themselves because they can blame someone else. Always pointing at another, blaming another, without having to look at self.

The world does not have to be this way, and it would be better for all if it wasn’t. But to change it, we will have to change ourselves as well, and work on a new world system that will create a better world for all. Because in that way, all of us can have the best life we can possibly have. So visit Equal money and Desteni I process, find out how you can join in the movement that is growing day by day, as the future of our world.

Gaga - more than innocent baby words

At the Met, Oprah Winfrey called Lady Gaga some kind of spiritual and cultural leader.

I agree that she is in some kind of leadership position. Millions play her music, watch her on tv and see her in the magazines. Many younger people take their "stars" as an example - many will take Lady Gaga as their example and look up to her.





But a "spiritual leader" ? In no way can I see that.
To explain I will start with a few lyrics of hers.


Lyrics from: Animal
You're a hunter feel your way
I'll do whatever you say
Hold me down and take control (mess up my hair all crazy sexual)
Do it like an animal (hot in the jungle exotic apparel)

She is singing about having sex with a man , about domination and submissions (reminding of SM). Is this the kind of example to give to people growing up? In a world already so obsessed with sex and superficialness?
Watch people dance at a party, see what songs and lyrics like these do to people's behavior, how it literally infiltrates their mind and takes them over.

Lyrics from: Born this way
My mama told me when I was young
We are all born superstars
She rolled my hair and put my lipstick on
In the glass of her boudoir

A mother who teaches her child to put on lipstick and do her hair nicely, to present a certain image to people. Why on Earth would you do that to your child? If there was one thing I would teach my child - it would be to not depend your feelings or inner worth on the picture you are, or on what other people's opinion of you is. If you limit yourself to that, your life will be a life of up's and downs, a life of compromise and giving your power away.
What do lyrics such as "we are all born superstars" really mean in a world where a child dies every 5 seconds of malnutrition? They may be "born superstars", but their life is hell. What worth has being a superstar then?

"There's nothin' wrong with lovin' who you are"
She said, "'Cause He made you perfect, babe"
"So hold your head up, girl and you you'll go far,
Listen to me when I say"

"loving who you are", but what if that "who you are" is simply a product of the culture. Why should you "love that" and accept yourself as how you are programmed, instead of being self-created.
And again, it is hard to love yourself when you are starving to death, having to work 15 hours a day slave labour, or being stuck in a small cage to be later processed as meat.
This lyrics also have a very religious undertone. Claiming that God makes everyone perfect. If that was the case than God is not doing a very good job. If this was the best he could do. And allowing millions to suffer, and the minority to live in wealth , with no ends to this abuse. For thousands of years - as all knowing being knowing how easy it is to program a humans mind. He should have known it would not stop.
And it wont unless we stop it, and stop our waiting and praying, and actually direct ourselves to create heaven on Earth, for all in Equality.

Children are often raised to become driven by money - to get rich, or be famous or succesfull - where this will dominate their whole personality, and make them become selfish, ego driven and not caring about anything else then their own pleasures and those that make them feel good.
And this is only for the priviledged ones, because a lot of children are raised within poverty situations, who have no change of getting rich or earning enough money to live a comfortable life.

We want to end this with Equal money and give everyone on this planet a comfortable life - so that you have time to express yourself, do the things you have always wanted to do without worrying about having food on your plate or if you can pay the bills by the end of the month.
The artists purely  in it for the money, will probably not do their "art" anymore - but those really passionate about music and art will keep doing it, and those who always wanted but couldnt, would then have the opportunity to do so. And people would like you and your music or art, coming from your own expression, because you enjoy to do it and share it with the world.

I'm beautiful in my way,
'Cause God makes no mistakes
I'm on the right track, baby
I was born this way

Claiming that God makes no mistakes. So horrible diseases to newborns is no mistake? Mind controlled humans who dont even know what they are doing is no mistake? A design where we have to kill to survive, feed of another lifeforce to survive, is no mistake? Being born blind and deaf is  no mistake?
Religious people would claim it all fits into "God's plan", but that is a really easily justification that you can use by virtually anything.
Religion was used for example in the 19th century, to make people acceptant to the power structure of society, to have the poor accept their poverty and the elite's wealth. The church was part of the elite and often baptised leaders, which was the sign of their approval of the leader's power - which the population obeyed to. People were kept dumb - and still are. Also they were made afraid by the punishment of hell, and various bible texts. Another one was to "give to the king what belongs to the king". But what belonged to the king - is decided by the king and the elite. Which would make God a member of the elite who does not really care about the majority.
And lyrics such as this have the same tone in it. Accepting things as how they are programmed to be, and how they are currently existing. Because of the justification that "it is all right on it's time within a plan". Whatever that plan may be - people have said this for ages.

We are all "born our way" into a certain family and culture, and this has been going on for many generations. Children have adopted the ways of the parents and those around them. We tend to accept "who we are" as how we are programmed - instead of looking self-honestly at who we are, why we are that way, and if this is best for all or is it self-intrest that we serve?
Our apathic culture of consumerism shows that it is self-intrest we have chosen.
It is time to choose otherwise - and reclaim our power.
My advice: be your own spiritual leader. Become your own power of direction - instead of using celebrities to look up to as Gods. Because that is what it virtually is, a replacement of religion.
So dont give your power away - you are stronger than this, you have a choice.
