Is reality really real?
As Dorothy discovered when she returned back to Kansas, her friends and family did not agree that the Land of Oz was “reality”.
Conversely, gaining agreement from one’s friends does not guarantee that the information agreed upon is true or workable or survival. Agreement is not necessarily reality. Although Man seems to crave agreement with his fellows, the fact that “everyone agrees that the world is flat” or that “the sun revolves around the Earth”, does not make it a reality.
History has shown that agreements among people have very frequently proven to be disastrous.
Example: Adolph Hitler gained the complete, unabated agreement of the majority of the German population before he led them into total self-destruction.
Lots of people agree when fast food franchise advertisements tell them that cheeseburgers, fries and milk shakes are good for them. We were, and still are, told, based on “medical research” that these foods contain nutrients from all the “four basic food groups”. This doesn’t change the fact that you get fat, develop hardened arteries and die an early death from heart disease or cancer if you keep eating cheeseburgers, fries and shakes.
The unprecedented multi-billion dollar profit margins earned by the beef and dairy industry and sugar growers in cooperation with the fast food restaurant cartels have a heavy influence on “truth in advertising”. In addition, the quality of information we receive, as consumers, from the American Medical Association regarding “the science of nutrition” is directly influenced by fast food commercial interests.
Only one generation ago the Japanese people were nearly free of heart disease and cancer. In just 20 short years, since they have openly adopted the Standard American Diet (SAD)–cheeseburgers/French fries/milk shakes and liquid caffeine-filled sugar water called cola–the incidence of heart disease and cancer among the Japanese people has skyrocketed. The Japanese agreement with Western lifestyles is killing them.
Reality is often heavily influenced by the Oz Factor of agreement. Agreements influence our perception of reality. A child’s perception of his environment, his religious and political ideas and viewpoints about people are often heavily influenced by agreement with his mother and father.
Be cautious with whom you agree. Carefully examine ideas and information before you agree. Just because the preacher says, “sex is evil” or the President says, “I’m not a crook”, does not make it reality. Be careful about agreeing with Wicked Witches and Wizards who promote unworkable solutions. By your own observation decide what is real in the Physical Universe and in Your Own Universe. Your reality is based on your agreements.”

“Science fiction” is NOT “science”, but it is DEFINITELY fiction. The problem has become that people BELIEVE what they see on film, and internet in the form of “electronic media”. Visual effects technology has become so advanced that “virtual reality” has become “reality”.
“Belief” is the foundation of mind-control. It has always been basis of power for religions. There have literally been THOUSANDS of “gods” and religions in written history of Earth. Modern “Science Fiction Cult-ure” has become a new “religion”. It is often referred to as the “new age” culture or consciousness. Please remember that every “religion” is created by people, just like you and me.
A enormous library of books, films, videos, TV shows, etc. about extraterrestrials, time travel, black holes, and a vast array of “theoretical history” have become “mainstream media” mania since the 1960s with the introduction of Star Trek on national TV. Since then, a vast “UFO CULT-ure” has been created by film, television and and Youtube. The phenomena is literally “mind-boggling”.
I suggest that we not lose touch with “real reality” and allow ourselves to become overwhelmed with “virtual reality”. Take a walk outside, go to a forest, or to the beach… make direct physical and visual contract with solid objects in nature. Let’s get REAL about reality. Don’t get sucked in to the “religion” of Science Fiction.

Recently, I’ve thought a lot about the subject of “relationships”, in an attempt to live my own life on Earth. One of the most joyful and agonizing experiences in existence is the successful creation and maintenance of a “relationship”. It is easy enough to withdraw from relationships and simply give up on them because they can be painful, confusing, frustrating and a lot of hard work! In human society it is very commonly the source of turmoil, destruction and unhappiness. If anyone has any more ideas about how to have a successful relationship, I’d like to know….
Here are a few definitions that I think are the most important parts of a “relationship”, in relative order of importance:

It is possible to have Joy, and Love and Happiness and a Life going absolutely perfectly. Perhaps this is not true in the physical universe, but you can create a universe of YOUR OWN were there are no troubles, and life is going perfectly. It begins in your imagination, creating illusions, dreaming dreams and the decision that Your Illusions ARE Reality for You.
