Intro

It was about time to move on to developing this blog for a higher purpose with nothing to gain other than the satisfaction of knowing that those who browse the words on these pages would benefit in some way and would be triggered to ask further questions and increase their desires to seek awareness and knowledge of matters pertaining to psychology, philosophy, cognitive behaviour and belief systems of how we perceive the world around us.


This site also touches on spiritual and religious matters and also has links to conspiracy theories, or alternative thinking as I like to call it, not necessarily with a view to believing their credibility or discounting them for that matter, but to raise awareness and to help develop our own thought processes to think 'outside the box' and discover how other peoples perceptions differ from ours.
The information collated here is from my own work related research and the subsequent websites and books that I perused to increase my knowledge. Things aren't what they always seem and the answers often lead to more questions. You are encouraged to follow through on the links for further detailed information and conduct your own research that will inevitably help you to make your own informed decisions. Enjoy - Ed

Belief - Quotes from The Hogfather

Death: Humans need fantasy to *be* human. To be the place where the falling angel meets the rising ape.
Susan: With tooth fairies? Hogfathers?
Death: Yes. As practice, you have to start out learning to believe the little lies.
Susan: So we can believe the big ones?
Death: Yes. Justice, mercy, duty. That sort of thing.
Susan: They're not the same at all.
Death: You think so? Then take the universe and grind it down to the finest powder, and sieve it through the finest sieve, and then show me one atom of justice, one molecule of mercy. And yet, you try to act as if there is some ideal order in the world. As if there is some, some rightness in the universe, by which it may be judged.
Susan: But people have got to believe that, or what's the point?
Death: You need to believe in things that aren't true. How else can they become?

[Susan is reading the fairy tale "Jack and the Beanstalk" to the children]
Susan: And then Jack chopped down what was the world's last beanstalk, adding murder and ecological terrorism to the theft, enticement and trespass charges already mentioned, and all the giant's children didn't have a daddy any more. But he got away with it and lived happily ever after without so much as a guilty twinge about what he had done. Which proves that you can be excused just about anything if you're a hero, because no-one asks inconvenient questions.
