Thoughts on Humanism, Robot take over, and visualization

I think out loud:  Humanism could have been a good thing, but it went hey wire.  We do have power inside of us to do great things.  But we are not God.  Do not limit God. 

Humanism: an outlook or system of thought attaching prime importance to human rather than divine or supernatural matters. Humanist beliefs stress the potential value and goodness of human beings, emphasize common human needs, and seek solely rational ways of solving human problems.

A neurosurgeon once taught me to visualize my greatness. So, I stand in the superman pose to receive my greatness. I envision my awesomeness, I claim it, and my brain creates paths to achieve such greatness. I am a super, with a super power that many people do not comprehend. The thing that Amelia Shepherd and I know is that that super power is within each and everyone of us. We have the power to envision and create a reality that we feel very passionate about. Whatever is in the essence of your being needs to come out. Circumstances of life that hurt us, however, becomes our kryptonite. Hurt leads to unforgiveness, which leads to seclusion, which leads to depression. Why? Because we are many members in one body. We are all connected and we need other people to survive. There is power in communication, there is power in vocalization, there is power in forgiveness, there is power in relationship, and there is power in love. This power is in each and everyone of us. Everyone is a Super, which means no one is special, which means we should respect the genome.





I am getting ready to write a paper on visualization, a paper that no one will really read and a paper to which I can not write what I really want to write about. It is the paper where I have to argue if visualization is “pop psychology” meaning, is it mysticism or is there real scientific research to support that it is real. I scream at my computer and the idiocy of the question. Everything is real if a person believes that it is real. Therefore, if you get more than one person to believe something is real then the force of that vision becomes stronger. If you get a larger group to believe that something is real then that force becomes even stronger and the growth of that vision becomes reality as each mind is focused to achieve that vision. You must believe it to receive it. So, science friends, it doesn’t matter if some one can observe and or prove the existence of a thing, it is the people who believe it that matters. The people will always create what they believe in and therefore it manifest itself into reality. Anything is real. Any thought has the potential to be real. This is how power of the mind works. But I can’t write this in a paper, although I know it in my spirit to be true. Phenomenology without observable proof is frowned upon in science. However, my stance is justified by faith.





Oh visualization, you are my friend. I pray to God that this world doesn’t have too many crazies over the saints that will visualize the end of the world and the robot take over. Yes, I did say a robot take over, I will explain this later. This is where we are headed if the saints do not speak up for what is right. The sacredness of the son and the kingdom should be what we pray for. This should be what we collectively believe in, trust in, visualize and bring about. This is the mystery that is in each and everyone of us. Part of God’s plan is in you. You are not a god, you are not God, instead you are the carrier of his love. Hence, you are a carrier of his love message. You my friend are part of heaven’s plan to save his people, all people, and all spirit.

Notes on Humanism

I would like to suggests that today's Humanism has taken an ugly turn. It is the evaluation of the self, the cultivation of ego and ego's mad rush for power and notoriety. We have entered into a time where valued and promising ideas of what could be good, are stolen, mismanaged, and appropriated for the campaign against God. Humanism today would love to promote self and the human position against the obvious existence of the creator. And so the scripture is true where it says people will become lovers of themselves and they will worship the creature over the creator.




Humanism has not always been against God. This I suggest is a manipulation of thoughts to position the new order in a prominent spiritual articulation of what it means to be enlightened. The perception today is to be whatever and whoever you want to be; do who ever and whatever you want to do because it doesn't really effect our spiritual nature in a way of great importance. Humanism today proposes that we create our own world to which we each have our own perspective and values. Hence, we should adhere to the calling of self, the inner consciousness, and the path to enlightenment.  There is the idea in today's humanism that one has the power with in himself to give more, do more, be more, accomplish more for the benefit of humanity. The biggest problem with this perspective is suggesting that there is an alternative way to receive what your spirit longs for other than a relationship with God. Ancient teaching tells us that there is only one way, and few find it. I have a strong belief that the way is found when one is truly seeking for it. When one truly seeks for the only way, his eyes are opened to the great efforts made towards the blocking of the way. The noise, and the distractions become more and more obvious as tactics to keep people separated from knowing Jesus Christ, truly, personally, and intimately.



In the historical overview of Humanistic psychology one would find that it is the examination of the human being and his experience that raises the curiosity for further study. The humanistic perspective was recognized as a relevant discussion in the field of psychology through the classical interpretations of knowledge and knowing as presented by Socrates and Plato, to the enlightenment of the 17th and 18th century, and then traveling into the turn of the twentieth century (Schneider & Pierson, 2015). Thought leaders such as Edmund Husserel and Martin Heidegger paved the way with raising awareness of phenomenological mindfulness (Felder, Aten, Neudeck, Shiomi-Chen, and Robbins, 2014), while Maslow wrote the manifesto of self actualization catapulting Humanistic psychology into a relevant framework for even further discussion (Schneider & Pierson, 2015). However, it was noted that the turn of the 21st century Humanistic psychology did not gain as much notoriety in the academic arena due to its focus on personal growth and the reemergence of biological perspectives of understanding consciousness through cognitive science and neuroscience (Scheneider & Pierson, 2015). It is at this point where we see a shift of humanism being rejected by academic standards but welcomed by a world craving encouragement for better living and personal development. The movement of mindfulness, while connecting to ideas of mind-body-spirit, has threatened traditional western thinking about healing, well being, and consciousness. The threat to western culture and thinking is welcomed when speaking from a Christian perspective, however the implications of such a movement means that prophesy has entered a new phase of it's revelation. Due to the use of mindfulness practices to treat chronic pain (Felder et al., 2014), and the cultural relevance that it has taken to address stress, burnout, and depression; the world has leaned over to natural healing and concepts of spiritual awakening. Unfortunately, the movement consistently and contagiously leaves out the most important factor of such natural healing; God.




Oh, malfunctioned Humanism and your disfigured intentions . . . how did such a good idea turn to destroy the minds of so many people?




"Oh, East is East, and West is West, and never the twain shall meet, Till Earth and Sky stand presently at God's great Judgment seat."
