Resources for self empowerment & understanding this direction
Editor's note: Until we move to our own site, and whilst this project is small, this section will contain a basic introduction to this train of thought, and how it applies to Nexus Media. A more thorough, holistic education program will be built in the future. For now, if you're new here, try to follow this media in order, as it has been constructed in the hope of first giving you fundamental tools with which you should be able to extract a much richer understanding of information presented later on. If you feel anything is missing, please email us with your suggestions.
So here is an introductory 'course' if you will, assembled only in the order which I feel best to follow - of course you can choose what you do and do not investigate. At this stage it's unclear if I feel it necessary to create too much of my own material as there is simply so much out there that is under viewed and under-rated. What I feel is really needed is a generalist education, something not provided by an education system that will us only to be obedient - so that we cannot see the wood for the trees.

The Myth of Myself
Who am I? it seems like a good place to start
Who am I? it seems like a good place to start
We do not "come into" this world; we come out of it, as leaves from a tree. As the ocean "waves," the universe "peoples." Every individual is an expression of the whole realm of nature, a unique action of the total universe. This fact is rarely, if ever, experienced by most individuals. Even those who know it to be true in theory do not sense or feel it, but continue to be aware of themselves as isolated "egos" inside bags of skin.' - Alan Watts
Information as a life form
Peter Joseph explores the nature of knowledge and information in human terms
There is no such thing as the origin of any information. I view knowledge as a life form in and of itself. There's no empirical source; it evolves and multiplies just like any other organism, utilizing the vehicle of our collective human experience: transference. And like the biological evolution it is self correcting. Any false [non-adaptive?] thought will.. eventually be seen by the environment and selected out by the collective awareness or "group mind." - Peter Joseph
The Language Matrix
A good introduction to the language monster...
A good introduction to the language monster...
"Man acts as though he were the shaper and master of language, while in fact language remains the master of man."
a phenomenon affecting both children and adults in 'industrial / westernised' societies, and increasingly, globally.
Now - what does this all mean?
Though vastly more complex - generally, this mixture of phenomena help explain the established social / economic order we see before us - the most fundamental element of which, is explained in this excellent documentary: Money as Debt
