"...and now, back to our regularly scheduled programming..."

It's no "secret" (pardon the pun) that most of my recent blog posts have, frankly, been off the topic for this blog, due to my intense need to stand up and declare that the 'emperor has no clothes' with respect to all this furor over the movie 'the secret'.

I even temporarily renamed this blog because I was so incensed about the lies that are being spread about the law of attraction, and I even had to write a booklet about it.

I'm not done with that subject, but my point is that I've decided to get this blog back on track for the theme I originally intended.

So I've retitled this blog to refocus and get back on course; I'll probably set up a separate blog for the purpose of setting the record straight about that *other* topic that has me - and a number of my very intelligent well-educated thoughtful colleagues - laughing at but also upset by the so-called self-proclaimed gurus of self-improvement.

Meanwhile, you can look forward to postings on this blog about the topic it was originally - and still is- intended for: helping guys to have more confidence and success with women.

Splitting Hairs? Or...??

When it comes to the nature of our consciousness, and the universe, "reality" at large or even existence itself and non-existence - not to mention the relationship between all these things - it can get pretty messy pretty quickly.

As you know, Discernment (capital D) really comes into play here.

At the core, physics is supposed to be determining the ultimate nature of reality. Coincidentally, at the core, philosophy and religion and all spiritual traditions are supposed to be doing the same.

The easiest way to think about all that, is that all those "disciplines" are map-creators.

They are making maps to describe what we cannot directly apprehend with our senses: physics uses mathematics; religion uses story and allegory; philosophy uses... whatever they use.

The point is, or rather the question is, who has the MOST ACCURATE map?? The usefulness of any map is its accuracy. That's it. If it's not accurate, we stand a good chance of getting lost or losing our way.

Now, some of these maps can be hard to read for the average person: not everyone loves math, especially complex equations of physics. Not everyone can Discern the hidden truth behind myths, allegory, or philosophical postulations.

Is there such a thing as "direct knowing"? Does that imply too much trust in the apprehension of Truth without the supporting criteria of how that Truth is Discerned? Can we trust ourselves to know the Truth - especially when it comes in through methods that are not intellectual reasoning and apprehension?

More soon....
