spacetime continuum distortion times two

the universe is not expanding; it is, in fact, bending itself by way of a force produced by the density of parallel universes "behind" ours. they stretch it, bending it around their focus of tension, creating distortions in the spacetime continuum of our universe, determining that what is perceived as either a constant or variable speed at which the celestial bodies apart from / gather with each other may not have actual relation to either space and time at which they appear. that is because not only the massive bodies generate distortions in the spacetime continuum inside the universe, but also because further spacetime distortions to the universe come from its peers outside itself. it is expected that this universe itself influences the other universes in its horizon of events.

The Strength of the Risen

What is your deepest thought?

The question may seem shallow or void of any sense and purpose, but within the effort you put in understanding it you have me accomplishing my goal. Don’t worry about the out coming answer. It is as right or as wrong as you admit it to be in the thought behind all the other thoughts crossing you mind this instance.

Which purpose am I talking about?

Well, first of all the believing process innate to every man and woman. My goal is challenging you to believe. In what?, you are asking. In whatever feeling you perceive as good. The scope of emotions tremble by the feeblest thought of doubt crossing your mind, as doubt is no emotion, although you may tend to intellectually react to it as if you could already feel the anguish and fear it inputs in your mind and body. Doubt, however, is a thought on its own and it does not depend on the circumstances of your surroundings, but on the perspective and intensity by which you look at them and let them having you influenced.

But I am sure you read it all in some book. In some spiritual or living guidance manual. I read them too. I devoured them as a rushing impulse for physical and psychological tranquility. Being sure that is also your case, I’ll leave you there, with no other introspective phrases or questions… no other, apart from this: what is your deepest thought?

Tell me your thought, your deepest thought about everything, anything. The most truthful true lying behind all your questions, fueling your dreams and doubts, nurturing your hopes and fears. Repeat it to yourself whenever you have a question: “What is my deepest thought?”. And you’ll be surprised by how frail and distorted the perception of yourself is.

The difficulty, as I am sure you have figured out by now, is the amount of questions racing your mind every second of every hour of everyday and the enormous, untamable speed they trail after each other. How can you know what you are truly after when your focus spreads like butter over hot bread?

When the old preached “truth” above all other values and virtues they were not referring on having you being truthful to others. Being truthful in your relationship with your peers occurs as a sub product of the real object to which you must keep truthful all the times, at all times: you.

Truth will set you free. I’m also sure you’ve heard this one before. But what meaning did you extract from it? Was it referring to you telling everyone else what your “lies” have been (strong word, lies, sounding almost like sin)? Certainly you have already confessed a small lie to your friend, one line such as “I had to tell him I was sick so I was not going out that night”, but probably this attempt to exonerate your guilt (another strong word) did not manage to, somehow, restore your feeling to its potential for permanent joy. You’d probably be feeling much better if you had told directly to that person “I am sorry, but on the other night I lied about being sick because I was not really in the mood for going out with you” and, in response, you’d get something like “Don’t fret about it. I totally understand it and I was feeling the same way, but I was afraid of letting you know”.

So, what is it one is truly after? Is it giving truth to others or, instead, receiving comprehension and forgiveness? The trick here, however, is that only those who cannot forgive and cannot comprehend themselves try finding forgiveness and comprehension on the outside world - on a person, on an action. The truth in that case is that you have betrayed yourself at some point, you have betrayed your deepest thought about a certain situation and as you do not realize it you cannot assess that the one who needs to forgive you is, in fact, you.

Truth will set you free seems now to be a rather incorrect statement, because when you’re truthful to yourself and to your deepest thought, the thought behind all other layers of thought, you can never, ever, become a prisoner craving for release. Truth does NOT set you free, but it is otherwise your very own guarantee of freedom.

Sabe a diferença entre um foguetão espacial e um míssil balístico?

Apresentarei três cenários:

Cenário 1: cidadão A trabalha, ou seja, paga IRS (espera-se!), ou seja o Estado recebe;

Cenário 2: cidadão B reforma-se e deixa de trabalhar, ou seja, o Estado passa a receber menos IRS (porque a taxa é tendencialmente inferior) e, simultaneamente, passa a gastar mais (mais uma reforma a ser paga - e, diga-se, devidamente!);

Cenário 3: cidadão C reforma-se, mas continua a trabalhar. Não só paga (potencialmente) mais IRS (sobre a pensão e sobre os rendimentos "extra"), como fica também com mais rendimento disponível para despender, ou seja, rendimento para aplicar directamente na economia ou em poupança (sim, a poupança também é, grosso modo, um método de financiamento indirecto que, na maioria dos casos, compete aos bancos - "receber depósitos e conceder financiamento"). O Estado paga uma pensão, mas recebe, adicionalmente, mais receitas pelo trabalho "extra" do cidadão C, quando comparado à falta de actividade pós-reforma do cidadão B.

Analisados estes cenários, qual destes cidadãos está, afinal, a prestar maior serviço ao país?

A questão subjacente ao artigo a que respondo, parece-me, não se encontra no facto de um cidadão ser mais ou menos activo em termos economico-profissionais após o momento em que lhe seja reconhecido o direito a uma reforma.

A questão é outra e bem mais profunda, alicerçada num postulado ético do direito ao trabalho. Um postulado que deve verificar-se sempre que haja uma relacção entre pessoas (quer laboral ou não).

A pergunta que se coloca é, pois, a de saber se o trabalho ou serviço que aquele cidadão C continua a prestar encontra legítima e justa correspondência no rendimento que dela advém.

Um dia, há alguns anos, perguntaram-me a diferença entre um foguetão, desenhado para lançar os nossos satélites para o espaço, e um comum míssil de guerra, ao que respondi negativamente.

Pois a resposta a esta questão, disseram-me, é só uma e universal para qualquer questão sobre o Homem, incluindo a de saber se o cidadão C deve continuar a trabalhar.

Pois tanto o míssil de guerra, quanto o deslumbrante foguetão são em tudo semelhantes... excepto no seu propósito e intenção.
