Self Science

We need more science
Increasing on the ratio of
One plus the square root of five
Divided by two
Science is golden.

A selfology thought experiment
Is one in which we try to put ourselves
Inside the skin of our neighbors.
The science of self
Can not be put on a shelf.

We had better write verses
For such specific researches
Though our inner searches
May be longer trips
Than those with other four dimensions
Or ten universes

In the end you will not
Read this poem but yourself
Including between the lines
And between the words
Poems are more effective than swords

It turns out
I heard
That freedom is not only for birds
But also for those who can fly in their minds

Self science
Is all about finding
Where are your wings.

The Ethics Code

"In the heat of the moment" is the perfect excuse. Some people may think that they actually are guilty, while some assume they are innocent. Everyone acts according to their own choices, no matter whether these choices are bad or good. The world needs attention, yet no one is actually willing to change. That happens because we are not being correctly taught on how to choose.

Ethics is the biggest Wisdom Science that should be more studied in many schools. In my Communications degree I had my first opportunity to know about Ethics. In class, the professor would bring us real cases of unethical stories printed on newspapers that eventually would lead someone else to think that someone innocent was actually guilty. The reports were exaggerated and the innocent person suffered with the accusations. These sad stories were used to impress in us the sense that every choice we make is suppose to bring out its outcomes. So we need to balance every story by understanding it from different points of views, and then calculate the proper outcome of each situation and report properly to the public.

It is, therefore, an important decision to write anything. Writing down important ideas is a proven and successful way of generating the necessary energy to put them into practice. This post's function is to write a code about Ethics. But not a moral code, just like the many religious leaders of the past did with very impressive outcomes, yet with no real solution in terms of tolerance and mutual respect. Then what kind of code? A logical one, something that would make sense in any computer or in any mind out there that is good enough to understand the importance of Ethics. Acting with an ethical code upon any situation it is possible to pursuit happiness and maybe even longer lives, better health and a lot less suffering.

Ethics function is a loop one. The condition is while breathing equals true. I choose breathing for many reasons, the most important of them being the fact that the gospel of John points out that from the Verb, that is, from the vibrations of particles, just like in the Big Bang, came the Light. Breathing is all about movement and Ethics is all about movement. While we move, that is, all the time, Ethics should be running, just as long as we live. This is the most important thing.

It turns out that choices precedes actions. Therefore the choice function needed result is zero. The choice function accepts as argument an array of inputs plus the object wisdom, which is the accumulation of Knowledge and Intelligence that helps the next iteration of choice. Wisdom is incrementated each time the function choice is iterated and Wisdom is always used again as part of the arguments to the choice function. This means that Wisdom is, at all times, the game-changer, the cosmological constant that leads to equilibrium. Input is an object which contains opinions, logical and empirical data, experience, memory, creativity, intelligence and the decision data, that could be represented as a metaphor, a symbol, a situation, an action and so on. The function choice in Ethics must always return 0, which represents balance. Any number below or above 0 means a choice without equilibrium, that is, a bad choice that could lead to your advantage, positive number, or the advantage of others, a negative number. The function returns 0 only when equilibrium is achieved, that is, a choice that is actually positive for both sides of the equation. If it is not, it returns a complex object, containing the choice score number and all the input of the latest decision. This data will be used by the next iteration of choice, leading to equilibrium in the end of actions. In the Life part, we are making only balanced decisions. When we make an unbalanced one, we then have to go the next choice with not only the new input and wisdom, but also with the old output object, which will help us balance our next choice even more.

So here is the code. Share it and it may become a solution to our struggling world. Enjoy the Ethics Code and run it! You might get some Truth out of this.

Ethics Code:

while breathing = true # main loop, called Life

var outcome = choice(new input + wisdom)
while outcome != 0 # this section is called Struggle.

outcome = choice(new input + outcome + wisdom)

The world in crisis

The world has never been in crisis

The world has always been in crisis

Crisis is opportunity

Opportunities have risks

Risk is crisis

The men have these crisis

They write warpy in warped lines

In spite of that, men never correct themselves

And then crisis repeats itself.

That's why the line must be straight

And what is written must be rare

And every goal has its arrow

Its spot

All it needs is a shot.

Crisis is and always will be about vanity

Pretentious or clear

From the ambitiously immoral

That makes the mixes

Awaiting reactions

Of good with evil.

The good thing about crisis is that it ends

Even though it repeats itself

It doesn't correct itself

And all it needs is a shot

It could seem different

It is not.

Not rarely, crisis is

sadly necessary

to create a genious out of the ordinary

or to create History

which, if thoroughly studied

would advise:

Crisis needs more memory.

That would be wise.

The current state of affairs

It turns out the world isn't exactly going the way it should be. This could be a massive lack of consciousness that is leading the world to a stream of bad decisions. But what is consciousness and what is choice? These two questions are pretty much the same ones as "who am I?", "where do I come from?"

Whether these questions are the matters of neurologists, psychologists, religious men of all sorts or you and me doesn't matter. What matters now is more what we need to do and think from now on, a proposal of a new consciousness, which should lead mankind to the next step.

The tools are out there. This article couldn't be written it it were not for all the readers that can pass by this. Inspiring enough, this new Age of Knowledge is about to comprise exactly that what Knowledge is: the perfect mix of Intelligence with Wisdom. So far mankind has been improving n intelligence, but not in real Intelligence, that leads to Wisdom.

The newest theories about the energy of particles or the new discoveries about how the body can heal itself should be inspiring the leaders of the world out there to heal the economy and then create new ways of financing the people. There are at least two or three Nobel prize winners that could inspire leaders from Europe and the USA to follow and create solutions for the future. About the particles, it seems that what was impossible happened, scientists detected neutrinos going a littles faster than photons. This is to show us two things: we need to get to know more of ourselves and more about our nature. Even though these results could be wrong, this teaches us the second lesson: we will always be trapped by our consciousness, unless we create and use a real Collective Consciousness that would lead all the unbalanced souls back to the Equilibrium.

Eventually a lot more about this collective consciousness that I am talking about here in the article will be part of the future of robotics and other tools that are now unfamiliar to most of us. My theory is that all of our neurological system has some part in this consciousness, which lead to the sensation of being conscious. What leads to this? The mix of sensations and senses, that is, information. Information itself is not Knowledge. Knowledge is the comprehension of information, while also doing the necessary Wisdom is the accumulated experience of all of the mankind. There are Intelligence Sciences and Wisdom Sciences and both should be known to everyone, which currently is not happening in our world. Yet it is in our hands and minds the necessary tools to promote Change and achieve the next level of Collective Consciousness. And this is about to happen.

I wish you (i. e.) The Vows

I love poems and I love translating poems as well. I speak native portuguese, but in my own personal will to write in English, I decided one day that if I could translate poems, then I could tell I'd know English. But that was just after I dreamed in English, and I used to say that the day I dreamed in English would be the day I'd be fluent in it.

So far I figured that maybe what makes a person fluent in English in the 21st century is the probably the same reason the french René Déscartes had to know Latin in his time to be well versed in the texts available to him at the time.

And so I decided to share a new translation, of a new poem, that I recently got in contact with, and wishing that it finds a place in your soul as well. And it will.

The translation will improve with time and, of course, with the help of you who are visiting this page. The original follows below too for those who enjoy reading in other languages. These are certainly wise words, so save them well.

Happy new year!

I wish you (i. e) The Vows
by Sérgio Jockymann
translated by Leonardo Dias

First I wish you that you love
and that, loving, be loved as well
and if you are not, forget it soon.

And if you forget, let go the sorrow.

I wish you, then, not to live like this,

but if you do, know how to do it without despair.

I wish you friends as well

even those mean and mindless

that are brave and faithfull,

And that you have at least one of them

that you can trust without a doubt.

And because life is like this,

I also wish you to have enemies.

Not too many, not too few,

but the exact amount so that you can, once in a while

ask yourself about

your own certainties.

And let at least one among them be fair

so that you can not be too safe.

I wish you to be useful,

but not unreplaceable.

And that when bad times come,

When nothing rests anymore,

this usefulness will be enough to keep you up.

I also wish you to be tolerant,

Not with those that makes little mistakes, because this is easy,

But with those that do it a lot and irremediably,

And that making good use of this tolerance

Let you be an example to other people.

I wish that you, being young,

do not be in hurry to be mature,

And that being mature, do not insist in getting younger

And that being old, do not dedicate yourself to despair.

Because each age has its pleasure and pain and

we must let it flow off us.

I wish you, by the way, that you be sad,

Not the whole year, but only for a day.

But that in that day you find out

That the daily smile is good,

The usual smile is dull and the constant smile is insane.

I wish you that you find out

with maximum urgency

Above all and in respect of everything, that there are the oppressed,

The unfairness and unhapiness around you.

I wish you that you nourish a cat

and feed a bird and listen to it

singing exultantly its morning song

because then you would be happy for nothing.

I wish you that you plant a seed,

no matter how small,

and that you watch it grow,

so that you know from how many

lives are made a tree.

I wish you, also, that you have money,

because it is necessary to be practical.

And that at least once a year

You put some of them

in front of you and say "This is mine",

just to keep clear who owns who.

I also wish that no one of your beloved ones die,

For him and for you,

But that if someone die, that you may cry

Without being sorry and suffering, without being guilty.

I also wish you that, being a man,

that you have a good wife,

and that being a woman,

that you have a good man,

and that you love each other now, tomorrow and in the following days,

and that whenever you are tired and happy,

I wish you that there will be love to start over.

And that if all of these things happen,

I will have nothing else to wish you.
