"A WORK IN PROGRESS"
the triumph of reason-what was it after all that saved us from covid 19-thankyou God for reason.
"THE NORMAL MAN" (or woman) by DAVID NIELD
​
​
THE CREATION OF HAPPINESS IN MAN BY REASON ALONE.
PLEASE SEE ALSO ATHENA'S MESSAGE NO 74 AND BLOG 37
THE NORMAL MAN DOES NOT SEEK HAPPINESS HE BRINGS IT WITH HIM
please note happiness based on reason is quite different to that based on the scriptures alone.
REASONISM is a " religion" based on reason and a love of god for his creation
.
YOUR SEEING THE IDEAS AS THEY ARE MADE , I WOULD NORMALLY LEAVE OUT -THE RAW Material OF THE CREATIVE PROCESS.-IVE LEFT IT THIS TIME SO THAT YOU CAN MAKE YOUR OWN DETERMINATION OF WHAT IT MEANS -INTERACTIVE IN OTHER WORDS. " a work in progress"
​
you do not need to seek happiness it is already within you
THE NORMAL MAN IS WRITTEN AS THE IDEAS
PRESENT THEMSELVES , WHAT IS WRITTEN IS THEREFORE BASED ON REASON WITHOUT REFERENCE TO ANYTHING ELSE.
THE BLUE PLANET ITSELF
ALL THINGS BEING EQUAL IT WILL ALWAYS MAKE YOU HAPPY ON A SUNNY DAY ENJOY A PICKNIC ESPECIALLY IF YOU ARE HUNGRY , YOU CANNOT BE HAPPY ON AN EMPTY STOMACH !
REASON IS A GIFT FROM OUR CREATOR -IT IS THROUGH REASON ITSELF THAT YOU CAN FIND HAPPINESS IN FACT ITS RIGHT UNDER YOUR NOSE.-FEELING GOOD AFTER A GOOD NIGHTS SLEEP.
THE UNIVERSAL MAN
ONCE HIS BASIC NEEDS ARE MET -FOOD WATER ETC , THE NORMAL MAN IS NO LONGER DEPENDENT ON HIS ENVIRONMENT=LIFE ITSELF IS HIS HAPPINESS, SO HE CAN SURVIVE ANYWHERE ON THE PLANET HENCE THE NORMAL MAN IS ALSO A UNIVERSAL MAN.
in practical terms you don't seek happiness you bring it with you- providing your basic needs are met - it is no more ,no less than life itself you don't get higher than that.
THE KEY TO UNDERSTANDING HAPPINESS IS REASON ITSELF -IT IS GOD GIVEN AFTER ALL IT CERTAINLY DID NOT CREAT ITSELF.
YOU MUST NOT EXPECT OUT OF LIFE MORE THAN THE HAPPINESS YOU GET FROM LIFE ITSELF IN OTHER WORDS BEING ALIVE -this is the key to understanding the nature of the normal man
WHAT THEN IS UNHAPPINESS AS EXPLAINED THE NORMAL MAN CAN BE MADE UNHAPPY A SPECK OF DUST IN HIS EYE WILL DO IT , BUT ONCE ALL THE BASICS OF LIFE HAVE BEEN MET FROM THE BATHROOM TO THE BED THEN THE NORMAL MAN IS A HAPPY MAN ,IT IS THE MODERN ENVIRONMENT ITSELF WHICH THEN CAN MAKE HIM FEEL UNHAPPY BY A WHOLE RANGE OF TEMPTATIONS VIA THE MEDIA.
CAN THE NORMAL HAPPY MAN BE MADE UNHAPPY THE ANSWER IS IN FACT- NO- BEING NORMAL IS A PERMANENT HAPPY STATE -LIFE ITSELF IS A STATE OF BEING HAPPY
I RECENTLY LOST A DEAR FRIEND AND I WAS VERY UPSET , I DONT NEED TO CHANGE MY WAY OF LIFE- A HAPPY PERSON CAN BECOME UPSET - IT ALL DEPENDS ON WHAT HAPPENS.BUT WHATEVER HAPPENS YOUR LIFE IS ON SOLID FOUNDATIONS BECAUSE LIFE AND THE BLUE PLANET WERE CREATED BY GOD THEY ARE PERMANENT 'TILL DEATH DOES US PART SO TO SPEAK.
god made man a hunter gatherer , in a modern environment this means he must seak to provide for himself or is family a good diet -warm clean surroundings and transport and opportunity for recreation , you cannot be a normal man on an empty stomach or if you a shivering in your living room in the evening .so everything starts with good quality shopping -until your fridge is well stocked you very little can happen !
​
BUDDISM
THE BUDDIST ARGUES THAT HAPPINESS CAN ONLY BE FOUND IN THE MIND ITSELF ,NOT BY ATTACHMENTTO THE WORLD WHICH IS CONSTANTLY CHANGING NORMALITY
I AGREE WITH THAT ARGUMENT , BUT DIFFER BY ARGUING LIFE ITSELF IS A STATE OF HAPPINESS
YOUR LIFE ITSELF AND THIS BEAUTIFUL BLUE PLANET DIDNT COST YOU A PENNY THE BEST THINGS IN LIFE REALLY ARE FREE , A WALK IN THE COUNTY , MAYBE A PICKNIC IS ALL YOU REALY NEED FORGET WHAT THE MEDIA KEEP TELLING YOU KEEP IT SIMPLE , KEEP CLOSE TO NATURE AND SHE WiLL KEEP YOU COMPANY.
​
IT WAS A BEAUTIFUL MORNING THE AIR WAS SHARP AND CLEAR ,I WALKED A FEW MILES FOUND A BENCH AND TABLE DRANK A CUPASOUP EVEN HAD A ROBIN FOR COMPANY .FRESH AIR , EXCERCISE , SOUP WAS ABOUT 75P CHEEP BUT WHAT YOU ARE REALLY LOOKING AT HERE IS GOLDDUST.NOT A RADIO OR TELE IN SIGHT.your blue planet at its best ,we take it for granted -look at the other planets dead hostile places hostile to life .
.being a normal man pre history meant being a hunter gatherer .all our ancestors time was used for survival - life itself was central they lived to survive , it is onlyin modern times that this central value has been lost and all kinds of pleasure have replaced it but they are false pleasures because they always fail in the end -your must expect no more out of life than being alive -enjoy yourself of course-the gift of life itself is all you should want or need
there is no need to seek happiness it is already within you
reason like gravity is time free it never ages it is a timeless force and we all have it
to be normal you will need people -no man is an iseland, eg how do you remove a rotten tooth !etc.
happiness is life itself ,it is happiness because it is permanent and that is why being normal is also being happy , you cannot get happiness from things that are temporary when they are no more you suffer - the result o false happiness.THERE IS ONLY ONE SOURCE OF PERMANENT HAPPINESS -LIFE ITSELF A GIFT FROM YOUR CREATOR ,you were therefore born happy -look after the basics of life and you will remain happy , you will have your troubles in life but ,permanent happiness is within you ,it will continue when the troubles pass something you will not find in mans material world constantly changing.,after all to want more out of life than life itself when you see the suffering in the world is well selfish isn't it.
there is permanent happiness that comes from within ,and temporary happiness which comes from your surroundings ,permanent is by far the best.
enjoy your unique individuality providing you do not harm others.
one of the best places to see happiness is in the animal kingdom well fed animals like nothing more than a nap ,at peace after a good meal ,our ancestors were the same after hunting and gathering all day and a good meal at night just a camp fire In modern western culture we have spare time , and the media are constantly telling us of things we need ,we all have an intellect unique to ourselves and need to find interests to fill this spare time ,always remember happiness is life itself whatever you do it is small compared to this.
there is a bond movie "the world is not enough , well ive got news for mrBond life itself is happiness and the best things in life are free - if he does not agree i suggest next time he visits the moon -the air is dead .the ground is dead and all he will have for company are asteroids.AND A UNIVERSE OF DEAD WORLDs THAT IS THE TRUE REALITY
.our living planet is a miricle as is the life on it , the air we breath and the warmth of the sun and they did not cost us a penny -beat that mr Bond.
IT FOLLOWS THAT YOU DO NOT SEAK HAPPINESS IN YOUR SURROUNDINGS YOU TAKE IT WITH YOU WHICH IS THE OPPOSITE OF THE WESTERN CULTURE WE NOW PRACTICE.- THE NORMAL MAN BRINGS HAPPINESS WITH HIM , WHEN YOU GO ABOUT THE WORLD ENJOY YOURSELF BUT DO NOT TAKE BUT GIVE. HAPPINESS MUST ALWAYS BE WITHIN YOU QUITE INDEPENDENT OF YOUR SURROUNDINGS ONCE YOU HAVE PREPARED YOURSELF FOR THE BASICS OF LIFE ITSELF AS ONCE ACHIEVED AND YOU HAVE TO DO IT ALL DAILY YOUR A FREE MAN OR WOMAN OF COURSE NOT DEPENDENT ON YOUR SURROUNDINGS FOR YOUR HAPPINESS BECAUSE IT IS WITHIN YOU,
SCIENTISTS WRONG AGAIN :
so they used reason to explain the the world not the scriptures or the bible , sure enough their version is clearer but they have completely missed the point and it is staring them in the face , they used reason and reason did not make itself man as gained understanding of creation by using reason -knowledge remains not the work of man but the work of god , reason remains the key to understanding the world ,a gift from god.and it did not cost a penny
ELEMENTAL MY FRIEND ELEMENTAL
you cannot be free or happy if you are hungry
it is quite extaordinary what we take for
granted in western culture.-shops full
of food. -keep your values on tract ! good food and clean water without them you would not have any problems because you would be dead !
'to my nieces Siobaun Collette Sian and Lauren
your globe trotting the world and i am sitting in paddington station drinking coffee as happy as the everlasting paddington bear - do see the film-its london that makes the world go round.
POLITICS BASED ON REASON ALONE ALONE why not?
​
YOU MIGHT SAY WELL I'M NORMAL BUT STILL UNHAPPY
Well there are limits to permanent happiness , you are as happy as your hunter gatherer ancestors ,things can go wrong in the environment causing dips in your emotions .these will always pass because the underlying happiness of the normal man is permanent.
3 RELIGIONS AND HOW THEY DIFFER ON Happiness-IVE CALLED" REASON 2A RELIGION FOR ARGUMENT PURPOSES ;because of its divine origin
​
REASON puts life itself as the source real happiness as exlained above
BUDDISM focuses on the soul as the source of true happiness
CHRISTIANITY -happiness comes from living a christian life
on the basis of reason i do believe all men are created equal , but i dont agree only Christians go to heavjen but i do agree Jesus changed the wold with simple words divine in nature(see picture 8 ).i dont agree we have dominance over the animals only because of our intellect we are able to be so.
