Frockman Philosophy Part 2
Look ahead of you, look who or what is behind you, what is standing in your way. Either they are there to lead you, follow you or they or it needs to get the hell out of the way.
Understand you are in charge of your own destiny, people you meet on the internet, people you are friends with, institutions you belong to, what you buy, what you promote, how you express yourself, all determines on the outcome.
Artificial guidance can most of the time be the best intelligence over human intelligence, for remembering human intelligence is always jealous of artificial intelligence and technologies which are new to the world, for they like the old and want to keep it conservative, less work for adaptation.
Be independent and critical in thought, free thought and in a free spirit. Spiritual beliefs can be free, spontaneous, universal and all can be applied to modern spirituality to fit one's life.
Be prideful, but not conceited and self-centered. Never be self-righteous or fanatical about anything. Free your mind and the rest will follow.
Be a good listener in a two-way conversation or debate and not overbearing, it is not to win it, it is to meet in the middle to solve the issue, there is no right or wrong answer, but solving according to both parties compromise. In business this is called negotiations, agreements to better each others agenda.
Learn to motivate yourself and others, but do not force it on them, for only they have to make the change, you are only there to elevate them to a higher level of conscience, but that is up to them. Same goes with you when others do so.
Again, lead, follow or get the hell out of the way and the same for oneself, Do not be a doomsayer or stagnation.
Have a strong will and do not be swayed easy, for it will attract con artist and money grubbers, users, and fanatics to you. Be your own person according to your values, ethics, and morals, without harming others in this process.
Be positive in thought, works, and deeds for your success is important. Also, your peace of mind and wealth and health which comes in many forms.
Don't stay bogged down to long in situations, when you know you or it is going nowhere, and nothing to solve it is being helped by others, for maybe it is their agenda and not yours.
Research, question, analyze, calculate before going forward for regret is a bad feeling and will eat on you as does past failures, but that is learning, getting knocked down and keep getting up, resilience
Try in your life not to age too quickly, knowing what are antiaging techniques, through nutrition, supplementation, and herbal remedies. Eastern ways are better than western, but again, all things are universal and interchangeable in life with an open mind and free thought.
Keep your sense of humor, for if you can not laugh at yourself, you might be the problem or be your own problem in living life to its fullest.
Never run out of ideas, keep the mind cranking at all times one day at a time.
Be quick to put others at ease, stay calm and cool, collected, in anger, nothing is thought out clearly anyway.
Stay refined, always trying to get better at what you do and how you live.
Be gentle with those who are weaker than you, younger than you, and be strong-willed to stand up to those or things that would suppress the weak, vulnerable, gullible and those who do not know why or comprehend what they are going through in their sufferings. Be their strength, in the same bring them to a higher level to help themselves and to change who they are, again, only they have the ability to do so, you are just giving them the tools to do so.
Most important, stay away from control freaks, fanatics, extremist, prohibitionist, con artist, money grubbers, and toxic people who hinder your movement forward and manipulate your freedoms, well being, and self-esteem.
Part 1, Frockman Philosophy
Money matters, it is what fuels the fire along one's journey, but greed and conning pollutes it.
Don't tread on other's freedoms if they are not harming no one or pushing their own agenda on someone else.
Be mysterious in your ways, for only you know you, the truth and your journey's path in life.
Regenerate quickly, but get away from what is holding you down or back, toxic people, environment, etc.
Radiate yourself in being happy so others can observe and wonder why and ask
Be excited and a visionary unto yourself and what life has missioned you so others can see the example
Never be bored, always occupy your brain with something, but find time for yourself to gather in all in a quiet place or a place to be alone to gather your thoughts and plan ahead. Too many times, there is no time, and we lose our way without finding self-time by being driven by others.
The past is your reference, you must live the fullest for the now and plan ahead by using that past reference not to repeat the same again, for the situations you found yourself in the past, were lessons.
Be realistic, logical, reasonable, a listener and always give feedback in breaking down a problem in life or looking upon issues in the world, in balance, not too far right or too far left, for this is fanaticism and extreme being overwhelmed by one philosophy.
It is all about the mind and where it takes you in finding yourself and in directing your path, but do this with the flow, for it is impossible to know all, control it and keep up with it all.
Be astute to practical matters, keen in thought, piercing in your drive towards achieving what you want, malicious and bad if you have to, to counteract what is holding you back or someone trying to control your path in life and goals.
Communication is important, but never overbearing to one side, both sides must listen to the other, it is called debate, noncensorship and freedom of thought that made countries great and people.
Be in deep thought, free thought, know your enemy as did Patton with Rommel on the battlefield, for Patton re his book, room for reconsideration, and keep an open mind to new ideas.
Keep big heart for those with less than you do and not greedy and looking down upon them, for you are degrading their condition that one day might find you there, but to learn from them why they are there so you may never get there.
Find time to spend with nature for it is where you originated from and you are still a part of in a modern world.
Keep up with current events and issues in the world, but don't over think and saturate your mind with information that you can't take in, time must be found to expound on knowledge but in time, in the best setting or time alone without distraction.
The sky is the limit in your life, not being boxed in without knowing the possibilities outside the box. For if others control you, institutes control you, issues or spending too much time on them, you are limited in ever knowing what if.
Love your music, for sometimes it will talk directly at you, relax you, make you happy, make you think and undull the senses. Sing with it and put yourself in with it if it says who you are or what you think about in the issue of the song, the meaning and the meaning to you.
Feel your way around issues or what is fed to you in thought, philosophy, influenced or manipulated towards. Investigate it yourself through research, analyzation, remember, "question more for yourself, for as a human, you were never meant to be programmed by any source in that matter.
Give it you're all in everything you do, but don't burn out in the process, not good for your health.
Stand your ground, once you have researched an issue, learned from it, reasoned with it through logic, before debating it so the input and output are high quality in the debate or solving the problem with a team. Don't shoot from the hip and waste time and ammo.
Respect others cultures, religions, philosophies, beliefs, where they have been, what they are going through, what they can and cannot help, for you don't what it is like to be them and vice versa. There is a reason you are where you are, either through lesson or mission not with your greed and self-centered ways.
Beliefs and life are practical in practice, involving, in action to one's own ethics and morals, in dreams or goals one might have avoided being steered in other directions by manipulation of others or being conned into for their benefit. Adapting to the direction being formed by you, being worked and planned by you, for it is you not them in maintaining yourself that you know best to help others in your journey of lessons and lessons you teach others but not to control which way they are going, You are a sponge and critical thinker as they are, remember this, an if you have experienced what they have and they have not but knowing you have been, they will listen and learn as you have.
Be diplomatic and don't fight the issue, for diplomacy is cheaper, takes time but is less destructive than war without fallout or backlash.
Set your own standards, ethics, morals according to where you have been, what you have been taught, your roots of where you are from, stay within the boundaries of your civilization of laws though, when in Rome, do as the Romans do in law, for that is one element to stay away from if you wish to remain free. Live with your morals, ethics, and morals in solitude, for they are your standard not to be infringed upon others unless these standards, ethics or morals are the same as one other that matches your, in this aspect respect others standards, morals, and ethics.
It is your journey and no one else's, nothing forced to learn, not one controlling you, if they do, resist. It is your likes and dislikes that make you who you are learning in process of the negative and positive people, the choices in media, friends, subjects, the market, what you buy, for the whole world is and market and it should be free to spread choice around the world ever forming all good and bad but always fine-tuning back to the middle.
Freedom of expression and opinions should not be suppressed in any civilization, by the government, institution, prohibition, monopolization, oligarchical programming, fascism, socialism. A free market, free medium, free world, and democracy will determine that in any form.
Desires and passions should be attainable without hindrance from others, institutions, fanaticism, prohibitions, extremisms or fanaticism. What sells is acceptable according to a free worldwide market.
Let your conscience be your guide and adapt to change accordingly.
Be of good nature and good cheer in the right moments.
Backup plans to back up plans. Always think ahead, plan ahead for the what ifs, nothing in life or how you live it is guaranteed, by anybody, anything, or any group.

'This is going to be devastating': GOP strategists panic as their party is getting badly outspent by Dems
'This is going to be devastating': GOP strategists panic as their party is getting badly outspent by Dems: Republican strategists across the country say they’re seeing a “green wave” of money boosting Democratic congressional candidates — and they’re preparing for what could be a brutal election night in November. Talking with the Associated Press, GOP strategist Terry Sullivan said that conservative donors have been holding back cash because they already believe saving the House is a lost cause. “This is going to be a devastating election for Republicans across the ballot,” he said. …

Eastern Thought The Middle East
EASTERN WISDOM (VI): ISLAM, ARABIC CIVILIZATION From the 8th to the 12th century the Islamic Empire, made up of many peoples, extending from the Pyrenees to the limits of China, preserved Hellenic science, enriched it with borrowings from Persia, India and even China, and finally transmitted it to the Latin West. Expelled from Europe by the Christians, driven from Asia by the Mongols, subjected to the Turks in Egypt, the Arabs lost contact with the Persians, the Syrians, the Christians and the Jews whose presence had played a vitalizing role in Arab culture. Thrown back upon themselves, they sank into a long torpor from which they were not aroused until the 19th century and the coming of the peoples of the West. How is this sleep of Islam to be explained? It was due to the fact that the Parsees, the Christians, the Jews and the Pagans who accepted the religion of Islam had done so more to be free from various onerous taxes than from any real conversion. The scholars who constituted the “Arab Miracle” were for the most part Syrians, Persians and Spaniards, peoples who were not Arab by blood, and had nothing of the Arab spirit. Once these alien elements were eliminated, the Islamic masses again fell under the yoke of their fanatical imams. From 1200 on, a theological reaction swept through Islam. There were no longer philosophers – the word itself became synonymous with ‘infidel’ – and only occasionally was there a scholar like the historian Ibn-Khaldun. The Turks, devoid of any critical and probing spirit, imposed their heavy yoke on Islam; and Islam, returning to its sources, paralyzed inquiry into a formula which brooked no answer: “Allah aalam” (God knows best what is). The traditionalism of Islam is incompatible with the spirit of inquiry and the idea of progress. For the Muslim, all truth worth knowing is contained in the Koran, at once a dogma and a code of faith, whose prescriptions regulate the smallest details of life. Whatever happens is the will of Allah. All is preordained; the only thing to do is to submit without complaint. This fatalism is destructive of effort, of any manifestation of personal will. It expresses the atavistic resignation of the nomad before the emptiness of the desert. Belief in another life, full of sensuous delights, of houris and fresh meadows, consoles the faithful for present tribulations. This mentality rules out restlessness, dissatisfaction with self, that constant drive to improve which is the ethical mainspring of the internal life of Western man.
Eastern Thought India
EASTERN WISDOM (V): INDIA After an honorable start, India failed to attain through its own efforts the level of technical and scientific competence of the West. As with China, the failure was traceable to a different way of looking at the world. East and West started with the same pessimistic assumptions: the human condition is precarious, painful and fleeting. Theories of Megara, Simonides of Chios and the Greek tragedies all passed judgments on existence fully as bleak as Buddha´s. But the responses were different. In the West, they suggested actions to improve the situation; in India, evasion. Western man sought to remedy the misery of his condition by mastery of the world; the Hindu sought to escape the world by mastery of self, of the internal life of the spirit. The Western mind believed in the reality of the external world and undertook to impose upon it the power of man‘s will; the Hindu regarded the external world and the idea of Ego as illusory, and sought to submerged personality in the quietude of the impersonal and timeless „Self.“ The highest wisdom was to escape from the wheel of rebirths by the technique of depersonalization, to be had through the mastery of knowledge of Samkhya or the psychosomatic methods of the deliverance of Yoga. The purpose in both cases was to enter in an ecstatic fusion with the Absolute (Brahma), who in his positive form is Being itself, and in his negative form is Nothingness, the Nirvana. To this metaphysics, with its denial of the wish to live, must be added a compartmentalization of Hindu society which prevented the invigorating circulation of elites that alone can keep a society healthy. There was no possibility of rising from one caste to another; there was no „social ladder“ to climb. Nothing was done prior to 1950 to change this situation.
Eastern Thought China
EASTERN WISDOM (IV): CHINA (conclusion)
Such mentalities (Confucianism, Taoism) made progress of the Western sort a theoretical as well as a practical impossibility. Prior to the arrival of Westerners, China was a closed society which regarded itself as perfect, as having nothing to learn from foreigners.
Withdrawn behind an intellectual and moral “Chinese Wall,” the Middle Empire could not develop until the arrival of the barbarians, the European and American “devils.”
Chinese mathematical thought was profoundly arithmetic and algebraic, but unlike the Greek mind it never developed an axiomatic and deductive geometry.
Failing to conceive the idea of natural law, the Chinese did not develop the fundamental sciences until after the arrival of the missionaries from the West. Nature was a symbolism to be deciphered, and for this purpose a number of pseudosciences were constructed – numerology, astrology and physiognomy – all of which were incompatible with the discovery of physical laws.
The Chinese never rose to the abstract idea of a homogeneous and isotropic space such as Euclid conceived and could express in geometric terms. Their physics remained caught in the metaphysics of Yin and Yang, the five elements, and their symbolic affinities. Hence their science never got beyond the pre-Galileo level.
Joseph Needham, perhaps the greatest authority on Chinese science, observes:
“When we say that modern science developed only in Europe and only in the time of Galileo at the end of the Renaissance, we are trying to say that then and then only were laid the foundations of the structure of the natural sciences as we know them today; that is to say, the application to nature of mathematical hypotheses, the full understanding and systematic use of the experimental method, the distinction between primary and secondary qualities, the geometrization of space and the acceptance of a mechanical model of reality.”
Taoism
EASTERN WISDOM (III): TAOISM (Taoism just another form of escapism?) Taoism, anterior to Confucianism, stands in sharp contrast to it. However, its results were even worse, for Taoism negated logic and encouraged evasion. Lao-Tse attributed all misfortunes to man’s departures from the state of nature when he tried to control his destiny. The social virtues praised by Confucius – justice, good manners, wisdom, and kindness – were regarded as conventions and obstacles to the natural order of things and deserving only of contempt. Laws merely multiplied the number of thieves and bandits. For Confucius, the good sovereign was one who did everything possible for his people; for Lao-Tse, the best sovereign was one who saw that he could do nothing and let matters take a natural course. Man must return to his original state of innocence. Through asceticism, life could be prolonged; immortality itself was possible for him who could absorb himself in the ecstasy of Tao, an indescribable reality which was everywhere, which had no definite limits and was the origin and supreme law of things.
Eastern Thought
EASTERN WISDOM (I) The habit of contrasting the crude materialism of the West with the spiritualism of the East needs to be revised. The great Asiatic civilizations developed in a pre-logical era; the mind groped for truth through intuition, symbol, magic, and mysticism. It was irrational. It refused to see the external world as an autonomous reality capable of being shaped and adapted through an understanding of its laws. The West, thanks to the Greek genius, succeeded in rising to the level of rational thought, founded on respect for a principle of no concern to the Oriental mind, the principle of contradiction. By associating the Hellenic Logos with the Roman Law, Europe realized a synthesis which, despite many tribulations, is still the most miraculous accomplishment of the human adventure.
Confucianism
ASTERN WISDOM (II): CONFUCIANISM The Chinese were an industrious and practical people. They excelled in map-making and meteorology; they created the science of seismography and were pioneers in civil and hydraulic engineering. To their ingenuity the world owes the first mechanical clocks with escapements and balance wheels; powder, which they used for fireworks long before making hand grenades; the compass; paper; silk; and printing with movable letters. Nevertheless, they did not apply this inventiveness to their industry, which remained essentially unchanged over the two thousand years between the accession of the Han and the fall of the Manchu dynasty. Why not? Because the Chinese were interested in a different set of values from those which preoccupied the West. Instead of trying to dominate nature, the Chinese sought to adjust themselves to a cosmic environment, natural and human. The two essential problems of concern to the Chinese were the search for good government and the art of finding contentment in the midst of poverty and adversity. The first problem concerned Confucius. He regarded man as essentially social, and he took as his personal mission the saving of a world which seemed to him to be in full decadence. His solution involved the restoration of five essential virtues: good manners, distributive justice, kindness, filial piety and wisdom. Confucianism, at once a theory of government and a theory of ethics, produced strong patterns of social ritualism, and the written language of China helped maintain this conformity. The immobility of words, formed of monosyllables, tended to stereotype thought and to freeze social life. Confucius and his school recognized this when they insisted that the remedy for the disorders of the times was to be found in the “rectification of words”. To assure good government, everything had to be identified by its true name, and everyone had to conduct himself in accordance with the correct designation of his function. The incorrect use of words was a semantic sin leading to social disorder. It was important, therefore, that public functionaries be recruited by examinations based on their knowledge of classical books, named and written in an ancient language very different from that in contemporary use, and requiring the mastery of tens of thousands of characters. For two thousand years, the institution of the Mandarins attracted the best minds into the services of an administration whose primary concern was to maintain a static social order, in harmony with and dependent upon an unchanging cosmic order.

About the White South Africans and Reverse Prejudice or Racism Happening Now
That land should be redistributed. That these whites are responsible for what has happened in South Africa's history. That this genocide is justified. That stories of these tragedies of murdered white farmers should not make the world news headlines I say.
Land should not be distributed to people who did not inherit it or work for it or accomplished the ability to buy it. Present day whites are not responsible for what past ancestors did in a time they know nothing about and the circumstances involved. These white farmers have nothing coming to them, this is just an example of how a majority suppresses a minority in which comes in many colors. Media, government, religions should not censor anything in a market of free choice in which one has the means to own and buy it with them setting the parameters as long as no harm is being done to others.

Why Is Diversity Mainly in European Based Democracies
Why is diversity the best investment according to most investment firms? Why do Jews run the world? Why is American pop culture popular around the world? Why do we have so many different kinds of religions, music, foods? Why do our freedoms always override monopolies or attempted oligarchies? Why does America run world trends? But all this is changing in an experiment that did not work in the world 1919-45 during prohibition, isolationism, protectionism, a lesson forgot in time is being learned again, but without an open mind, will be learned the hard way again, with suffering again, this time with nucs. So less get depressed again, go to war again, and learn again.
