Questioning the Acceptance of What Is

When I think about the idea of ..consciousness.. and how Human Beings think in patterns and how the Human thought patter transforms and grows as we evolve as a society I think about certain phenomenon such as why people find things such as Kewpie dolls and Cabbage Patch dolls appealing on such a large scale. I find them ugly and strange, yet I like looking at chubby Asian kids because they remind me of health and a happy family. Are there correlations between the look of chubby Asian children and Kewpie and Cabbage patch dolls? I see some similarities. I hope I..m not offending any of my Asian friends but I happen to correlate some common appeals to people with deep rooted comforts of some sort and I feel this is why these dolls were such a hit. This is the strange kind of stuff I think about while driving ~

What I would like to see are some traditional toys played with by children which have been found at archaeological sites, Native Indian, African, Chinese, Greek, Russian, East Indian, Italian, Roman, etc. ~ a celebration of childhood around the globe.

When you think about how American society viewed things in the past versus as they do today, I want to say that we all have some shared thought patterns and it may seem so in this Country but what about people in other countries? How do only a select few, such as Einstein and Galileo step above the collective? My experience has been that the availability of information is the biggest catalyst. This is why I wish we provided better support in information to our children. We developed the internet and only (maybe) 1% actually USE it for information that is constructive. You can find more junk information than you can good stuff! Its just a big gossip, propaganda line!

What I find amazing about people and what I enjoy studying are things such as techniques, management ideologies ~ then VS now and how that information has changed over the years, how the information was acquired and applied or translated, how the information was offered VS now and how we viewed each other then VS now. Such as spiritual ideologies ~ why do ghosts always haunt indoors? Why are we not haunted while walking down a sidewalk or while golfing? Why are there no dinosaur ghosts? Human Beings have died on probably ever square inch of this planet! I mean, we find them frozen in the Alps after 20,000 years or in snow banks from plane crashes 80 .. 90 years ago. My Dad once read that there is not one drop of water on this planet has not been consumed, processed and expelled at least at some point. (Or so it has been calculated.) Yummy!!

Every ounce of information and fact that we use today is the result of some interpretation by some person or people ~ interpreted information fed to us and called fact. Fact can sometimes change according to your perspective, something that Einstein postulated. So as far as I am concerned, all things are open for contemplation by anyone and should be contemplated!

For instance, in my blogs I refer to matter as atomic or molecular and not one person has even suggested elemental particles (which are by far, some of my favorite things!!).
