1. The Philosophy of Exotischism Listening To Your Heart 68 Happy Days and Magic Crystals Many years ago people would often talk about unlocking the secrets of the mind. Many people were also fascinated by the

2. The Philosophy of Exotischism Listening To Your Heart 69 psychological research that was going on at that time. Today, when we analyze the reasons for why there have been so few spiritual and psychological

3. The Philosophy of Exotischism Listening To Your Heart 70 advances made over the past few years, we have to wonder if maybe there are not too many more advances that need to be made. A lot of people have already decided that most of the major advances in spiritual and

4. The Philosophy of Exotischism Listening To Your Heart 71 psychological research have already been made. And these people have already begun to turn their attention to using what they have learned to help them in their daily lives.

5. The Philosophy of Exotischism Listening To Your Heart 72 Unfortunately, many of the people who have been applying what has been learned from the research are the ones who are the most afraid of the results of that research (and are the ones who have the most to

6. The Philosophy of Exotischism Listening To Your Heart 73 lose if people start to pay close attention to the findings of the research). They are the ones who take pleasure in taking advantage of other people spiritually and psychologically. They take

7. The Philosophy of Exotischism Listening To Your Heart 74 pleasure in hurting other people psychologically by doing unfair things to them or saying unfair things about them and then denying that they have done anything wrong. By doing this, they are able to tie other people in

8. The Philosophy of Exotischism Listening To Your Heart 75 psychological knots from which they cannot escape. As the period of spiritual and psychological advances came to an end, it became apparent that there were two basic types of people who

9. The Philosophy of Exotischism Listening To Your Heart 76 had been damaged by society and who were beginning to become an embarrassment to society. (These were people who were not totally comfortable with the inconsistencies in our society and who had been in

10. The Philosophy of Exotischism Listening To Your Heart 77 one way or another damaged spiritually and psychologically by the stronger members of society.) The first type of person who had been damaged by society basically liked the superficiality in the

11. The Philosophy of Exotischism Listening To Your Heart 78 world but just didn't know how to be tricky enough or dishonest enough and for that reason had been taken advantage of by other people. These people thought that the goals of society were basically good,

12. The Philosophy of Exotischism Listening To Your Heart 79 but that they personally were not adequate (or not worthy). These people were thought of by the stronger members of society as "good people" who had a bad streak because of the fact that they were weak and not

13. The Philosophy of Exotischism Listening To Your Heart 80 really autonomous (or not totally together). The second type of person who had been damaged by society liked to act rebellious. They prided themselves on not being superficial. But these people could not hide their secret

14. The Philosophy of Exotischism Listening To Your Heart 81 admiration for the stronger members of society who were able to get away with things. These people were thought of by the stronger members of society as "bad people" because they did not accept society's

15. The Philosophy of Exotischism Listening To Your Heart 82 superficiality (and also because they were not really autonomous [or not totally together]). But many people felt that these "bad people" had a good streak because it was obvious that they secretly admired many of the

16. The Philosophy of Exotischism Listening To Your Heart 83 stronger members of society (the ones who were able to get away with things). Over the past few years the people who are a little bit more spiritually and psychologically vulnerable than the two groups

17. The Philosophy of Exotischism Listening To Your Heart 84 described above (the "good people" and the "bad people") have been unintentionally working together with the stronger members of society to help lift up and encourage those people who had become an

18. The Philosophy of Exotischism Listening To Your Heart 85 embarrassment to society many years ago when the major advances made in spiritual and psychological research were made. But it has not been easy for the people who are a little bit more spiritually and

19. The Philosophy of Exotischism Listening To Your Heart 86 psychologically vulnerable to do this (and they have not done it voluntarily). Whenever one of the "good people" started to embarrass the stronger members of society with their weaknesses, the stronger

20. The Philosophy of Exotischism Listening To Your Heart 87 ones would encourage them to increase their feelings of spiritual power by attacking one of the people who was more vulnerable than themselves spiritually and psychologically by doing something unfair to them or

21. The Philosophy of Exotischism Listening To Your Heart 88 saying something unfair about them and then denying that they had done anything wrong. This increased the spiritual power of the "good person" at the expense of the person who was a little bit more spiritually and

22. The Philosophy of Exotischism Listening To Your Heart 89 psychologically vulnerable than themselves. In a similar way whenever one of the "bad people" started "acting up" (or started acting disruptive), the stronger members of society would in a very obvious manner start

23. The Philosophy of Exotischism Listening To Your Heart 90 to make life unpleasant for (or "lean on") one of the people who knew the "bad person" and who was a little bit more spiritually and psychologically vulnerable than the "bad person" was. Whenever the strong

24. The Philosophy of Exotischism Listening To Your Heart 91 members of society did this, the "bad person" would see what was happening (no doubt finding the situation to be "delicious") and would be able to increase their feelings of spiritual power at the expense of the person

25. The Philosophy of Exotischism Listening To Your Heart 92 who was a little bit more vulnerable than themselves. The more vulnerable person would not like what was happening but they would have no way to stop it. The "bad person" would gain a sense of

26. The Philosophy of Exotischism Listening To Your Heart 93 importance as it became clear to everyone watching that, while the "bad person" might be bad and weak, at least they were better and stronger than the person who was being forced to take the blame for them when

27. The Philosophy of Exotischism Listening To Your Heart 94 they "acted up" (or were disruptive). The stronger members of society knew that they could not discipline the disruptive person (the "bad person") because that person would not be able to handle the discipline

28. The Philosophy of Exotischism Listening To Your Heart 95 (because they were too weak), so they disciplined someone else instead (someone who was a little bit more spiritually and psychologically vulnerable than the "bad person" was).

29. The Philosophy of Exotischism Listening To Your Heart 96 A lot of people have tried to "make sense" of some of the things that were going on in society during the years following the era in the last century when the major

30. The Philosophy of Exotischism Listening To Your Heart 97 spiritual and psychological advances were made. There were idiotic TV shows and movies being produced that depicted life in the past in a very inaccurate (and a very over-glamorized) way. A lot of people shook their heads

31. The Philosophy of Exotischism Listening To Your Heart 98 trying to figure out why so many people seemed to find so much enjoyment and so much meaning in these silly excuses for entertainment. Some people at that time refused to even have a television set in their

32. The Philosophy of Exotischism Listening To Your Heart 99 homes. They wanted to make a statement to the world that they did not like (or understand) what was going on. What people failed to realize at that time (it is more clear now looking back) was that these TV shows and

33. The Philosophy of Exotischism Listening To Your Heart 100 movies may have actually been a way to disguise the spiritual power transfer that was taking place at that time between the "good people" in society, who had become an embarrassment to the people who were spiritually strong,

34. The Philosophy of Exotischism Listening To Your Heart 101 and the people who were truly vulnerable spiritually and psychologically. It appeared to a lot of us that these "good people" loved this type of entertainment because it somehow made them nostalgic about the

35. The Philosophy of Exotischism Listening To Your Heart 102 past. But actually, they were gaining real-time feelings of spiritual power coming into them from those who were spiritually and psychologically weaker than themselves during this period of time. They were

36. The Philosophy of Exotischism Listening To Your Heart 103 gaining this spiritual power by doing unfair things to people who were more vulnerable than themselves (or saying unfair things about them) and then denying that they had done anything wrong. That was

37. The Philosophy of Exotischism Listening To Your Heart 104 probably a large part of what was making them feel better about themselves. It was not just the memories of the past.

38. The Philosophy of Exotischism Listening To Your Heart 105 The Spiritually Weak and Vulnerable The Spiritually Good (Happy Days) The Spiritually Strong and Powerful The Spiritually Bad (Magic Crystals)

39. The Philosophy of Exotischism Listening To Your Heart 106 There was something else going on during the years following the period of major spiritual and psychological advances that had a lot of people confused. The same stronger members of society who had been encouraging

40. The Philosophy of Exotischism Listening To Your Heart 107 the "good people" to get lost in nostalgia were starting to "look the other way" when a lot of the "bad people" described above started getting involved with drugs. It was generally thought at the time that the

41. The Philosophy of Exotischism Listening To Your Heart 108 stronger members of society were looking the other way when it came to the subject of drug use because they knew how important it was to be socially accepted. What we failed to realize at that time was that society's

42. The Philosophy of Exotischism Listening To Your Heart 109 apparent acceptance of drug use at that time may have actually been a way to disguise the spiritual power transfer that was taking place at that time between the "bad people" in society, who had become an embarrassment

43. The Philosophy of Exotischism Listening To Your Heart 110 to the people who were spiritually strong, and the people who were truly vulnerable spiritually and psychologically. It appeared to a lot of us at that time that these "bad people" loved drugs in part because of the

44. The Philosophy of Exotischism Listening To Your Heart 111 feelings of social acceptance they felt that they gained from using drugs. But actually, they were gaining real-time feelings of spiritual power coming into them from people who were spiritually and psychologically more

45. The Philosophy of Exotischism Listening To Your Heart 112 vulnerable than themselves during this period of time. They were gaining this spiritual power by "acting up" (or acting in a disruptive manner) and then being rewarded for their actions when the stronger members

46. The Philosophy of Exotischism Listening To Your Heart 113 of society punished another person for what they had done (someone who was more vulnerable than themselves). Whenever they did this, spiritual energy was taken away from the more vulnerable person and that

47. The Philosophy of Exotischism Listening To Your Heart 114 spiritual energy was given to them. That was probably a large part of what was making them feel better about themselves. It was not just the drugs.

48. The Philosophy of Exotischism Listening To Your Heart 115 The spiritually weak and vulnerable people described above like to imagine that someday these "good people" and "bad people"

49. The Philosophy of Exotischism Listening To Your Heart 116 who they have unintentionally been helping to become stronger are going to maybe in some small way repay them for what they have done (or at least stop trying to drain them dry). But when one of

50. The Philosophy of Exotischism Listening To Your Heart 117 these spiritually and psychologically vulnerable people tries to explain the above described situation to one of the "good people" in an effort to hopefully reduce the amount of spiritual power that is constantly

51. The Philosophy of Exotischism Listening To Your Heart 118 being drained out of them, the "good person" will very likely claim that the weaker person is being unkind (that they are trying to tear down [or stop contributing to] a spiritual structure that they themselves have willingly

52. The Philosophy of Exotischism Listening To Your Heart 119 helped to create). And when one of these people makes a similar plea to one of the "bad people", these people will respond by once again "acting up" (or acting disruptive), knowing that when they do so, the

53. The Philosophy of Exotischism Listening To Your Heart 120 stronger members of society will once again reward them by giving them some of the more vulnerable person's spiritual power.
