according to myth, or cartoons, great ideas come in the form of Thomas Edison's lightbulb

"Idea Man"

WHERE GOOD IDEAS COME FROM

"There are no innate ideas.
Ideas are images that represent physical and mental things."

John Locke

Individuals thinking on a mystical level fall swiftly into the trap of the egocentric bias when the originality of an idea is revealed through revelation.

Individuals believing they are thinking on a rational level may still fall into the trap of the egocentric bias when and an epiphany descends.

The truth is we all believe that the thoughts we have are uniquely our own.

Ideas well up from a ground source as we combine the information at our disposal to come up with a new idea - a concept.

If others have the same information they will have the same ideas.

These concepts are formulated in the language of the culture composing them and they take on the cultural life of the people formulating them.

To those within the cultural box the concepts within the culture wear the different colored robes of the cultural colleges whereas concepts from alien cultures appear dressed in gaudy or hideous circus costumes.

Those who believe that only they have experienced - the light bulb coming on, experienced an epiphany, had a revelation, communed with God, were struck with a vision or had a mystical experince - they are mistaken.

Something deep in your subconscious finally wormed its way to the surface of consciousness !

The Creator and Sustainer lifted the Veil of Cognitive Blindness and pulled the splinter out of your mind's eye freeing you for an epiphany.

"By passing on ideas through social interaction, by means of language, records, images, symbols, gestures, and sounds, our development has proceeded far more rapidly than by encoding particular types of information in genes. The information that can be passed on by these behavioral and cultural means is of a type that cannot be transferred by genetic inheritance. It enables learning, teaching, and knowledge to accumulate. Whereas information transfer by genetic means is limited to inheritance by the offspring of an individual, the influence of ideas and culture is limitless in its potential range. Favourable adaptations can be spread through the population very rapidly. An idea, like taking physical exercise or avoiding unhealthy food products which can be seen to enhance the chance of survival, can become a common possession almost overnight, once propagated by corporate media. Cultural transmission allows detailed information about the local environment to be passed on quickly, and is essential for survival in an environment that changes more rapidly than the time interval between successive generations." - John D. Barrow

"If nature has made any one thing less susceptible than all others of exclusive property, it is the action of the thinking power called an idea, which an individual may exclusively possess as long as he keeps it to himself; but the moment it is divulged, it forces itself into the possession of every one, and the receiver cannot dispossess himself of it. Its peculiar character, too, is that no one possesses the less, because every other possesses the whole of it. He who receives an idea from me, receives instruction himself without lessening mine; as he who lights his taper at mine, receives lights without darkening me. That ideas should freely spread from one to another over the globe, for the moral and mutual instruction of man, and improvement of his condition, seems to have been peculiarly and benevolently designed by nature, when she made them, like fire, expansible over all space, without lessening their density in any point, and like the air in which we breathe, move, and have our physical being, incapable of confinement or exclusive appropriation. Ideas then cannot, in nature, be a subject of property." - Thomas Jefferson

an is defined as:

Ideas are modes of thought - plans, schemes, methods, opinions, convictions, or principles expressed with images, symbols and words.

ideological abstractions

"The idea that man can do everything he wants at the expense of the non-man elements is a ignorant and dangerous notion." - Thich Nhat Hanh

"The perversities of transexual triumphalism are related directly to the falsehoods of Federal Reserve trans-monetarist triumphalism, and all parties are subject to the matrix of racketeering that has taken the place of plain dealing in goods, money, and ideas in this society - especially ideas grounded in reality." - James Howard Kunstler

Ideological hegemony may not require the kind of corporate conspiracy that Karl Marx envisioned but may arise naturally from the evolutionary behavior of Wetiko memes endeavoring after their own survival.

"Americans adopted the notion that acting on principle, standing up and fighting for what one believes in, is virtuous, while changing one's mind, even on sufficient evidence, is unprincipled flip-flopping and unseemly. This surely has its foundation in the American addiction to ideology which places greater value on belief than on knowledge. Since no prominent person, especially one holding elective office, wants to be labeled "unprincipled," people are loath to change their views even when they know those views are wrong. Once they have decided that being "principled" is more important than being right, they have no inclination or desire to question the validity of their views by seeking the truth." - John Kozy

"Washington has always needed an "ism" to fight against, an idea against which it could rally its citizens like lemmings. First, it was anarchism, then socialism, then communism. Now, it's terrorism. Any whistleblower who goes public in the name of protecting human rights or civil liberties is accused of helping the terrorists." - John Kiriakou

The Psychology of Ideology and Religion

This web site is not a commercial web site and is presented for educational purposes only.

This website defines a new perspective with which to engage reality to which its author adheres. The author feels that the falsification of reality outside personal experience has created a populace unable to discern propaganda from reality and that this has been done purposefully by an international corporate cartel through their agents who wish to foist a corrupt version of reality on the human race. Religious intolerance occurs when any group refuses to tolerate religious practices, religious beliefs or persons due to their religious ideology. This web site marks the founding of a system of philosophy named The Truth of the Way of Life - a rational gnostic mystery religion based on reason which requires no leap of faith, accepts no tithes, has no supreme leader, no church buildings and in which each and every individual is encouraged to develop a personal relation with the Creator and Sustainer through the pursuit of the knowledge of reality in the hope of curing the spiritual corruption that has enveloped the human spirit. The tenets of The Truth of the Way of Life are spelled out in detail on this web site by the author. Violent acts against individuals due to their religious beliefs in America is considered a "hate crime."

This web site in no way condones violence. To the contrary the intent here is to reduce the violence that is already occurring due to the international corporate cartels desire to control the human race. The international corporate cartel already controls the world economic system, corporate media worldwide, the global industrial military entertainment complex and is responsible for the collapse of morals, the elevation of self-centered behavior and the destruction of global ecosystems. Civilization is based on cooperation. Cooperation does not occur at the point of a gun.

American social mores and values have declined precipitously over the last century as the corrupt international cartel has garnered more and more power. This power rests in the ability to deceive the populace in general through corporate media by pressing emotional buttons which have been preprogrammed into the population through prior corporate media psychological operations. The results have been the destruction of the family and the destruction of social structures that do not adhere to the corrupt international elites vision of a perfect world. Through distraction and coercion the direction of thought of the bulk of the population has been directed toward solutions proposed by the corrupt international elite that further consolidates their power and which further their purposes.
