Intention is Cause!
Posted in Philosophy on December 20th, 2007

Have you ever in your life felt that you had a so strong intention that you just know that nothing can stop you from achieving or reaching a certain thing?
In the elite organization I worked in during 1999-2004 we received mental training how to achieve this mental state. I will give you some examples that […]


24 Qualities That Geniuses Have in Common
Posted in Philosophy on December 20th, 2007

I am reposting here an excellent article that I first read about 5 years ago. It was first printed by the National Enquirer in 1980 and later reprinted and re-distributed by L. Ron Hubbard (with permission). I have read it many times since then and I feel I just need to share it, it has […]


Life As a Game of Chess
Posted in Philosophy on December 20th, 2007

You might have seen in my earlier essays that I like to see life as though it was a game. Now I want to compare life as if it would be a game of chess. I think of it as I am representing the white and black is what I have to overcome in order […]


My Philosophical Beliefs
Posted in My Philosophical Essays on April 13th, 2007

I met some trouble recently trying to explain my philosophical standpoint as there are no term in the field of metaphysics nor philosophy that would properly describe it.
The closest I get is “supernatural libertarianism” but who understands that? And it is still not a good term to use for my view of the world.
So I […]


Why Do I Believe in the Human Spirit?
Posted in My Philosophical Essays on January 22nd, 2007

How come a rational guy like me believe in spirits (souls)? Actually I believe more in the fact that the human spirit exist than the sun rises tomorrow. I believe that you are your own spirit and you control your body like a tool and that you reincarnate when you need a new body.
Why?
Before I […]


Self-employment the way to go
Posted in General, My life, Tips For Success on July 25th, 2006

I have just read one of the recent articles by Steve Pavlina:
10 Reasons You Should Never Get a Job
I really recommend it but I want to say that it is not as simple as it might look like. Steve is talking about making a living out of blogging and I can tell you right now […]


You are able to earn 10K in one hour work
Posted in General, Philosophy on April 24th, 2006

You don’t need anyone’s permission to believe you can come up with an idea that you can implement in less than an hour that will earn you an extra $10,000. Such ideas are naturally plentiful, but you won’t notice them until you adopt the right mindset.
That’s right. Adopt the right mindset.
Quoted from: How to Earn […]


Interesting article on the value of time
Posted in Philosophy on March 6th, 2006

This article is not written by me but I like it and post it here.
Article source: MoralStories.net article 120

Imagine there is a bank that credits your account each morning with 86,400. It carries over no balance from day to day. Every evening deletes whatever part of the balance […]

Every aspect of your life comes under two categories: things you are at cause over and things you are the effect of.

Who is potentially your greatest enemy? Terrorists? Bad bosses or bad employees? Unfriendly drivers on the freeway?
Actually, none of them.


What one Dianetics book did in Siberia
Posted in Dianetics on December 18th, 2005

This is an incredible true story of what one single book could do in Siberia.
It is some interesting reading.


What is freedom?
Posted in My Philosophical Essays on December 12th, 2005

Do you know what real freedom is?
Does anybody know what it is?
Is it possible to know it?
Well, let’s discuss
From my own philosophical studies on this subject on works written in 1954 by Mr Hubbard (golden essay Trapped) I came to understand this subject much better and I would like to brief about it.
First […]


Double intelligence, how would it be?
Posted in My Philosophical Essays on December 12th, 2005

Some years ago I remember that I had to get some inspiration for my sci-fi writing. I was kind of surveying some friends of mine who also studied philosophy about how a being with the double intelligence of man would operate.
How would a being with let say 350 IQ operate?
I was mentioning means of communication, […]


Poem: Something Special
Posted in Philosophy, Poems on December 4th, 2005

There was a very special matter and some special supreme forces.
Something happened and the matter exploded.
The supreme forces then evolved the exploded matter into systems of an infinite amount of shining balls.
Some of these shining balls were more special than others and there were especially one that came to have a very special meaning.
This particular […]


My Viewpoint on Trust
Posted in Essays, My Philosophical Essays on December 4th, 2005

“On the day we can fully trust each other, there will be peace on Earth.” - L. Ron Hubbard, Writer and Philosopher
What is trust?
What is the definition for this very often sensitive, unspoken subject?
The Longman dictionary defines it the following way:


What is time?
Posted in Essays, My Philosophical Essays on December 4th, 2005

What is time?
Often the immediate concept that comes to mind is a clock, watch or a calendar, but what really is time?
This is perhaps a very confused subject and you often hear: “I have no time.”, “Time is money.”, “I need to be on time” and so on.
And for example the Einstein theory of relativity […]


Theory on How to Become a Genius
Posted in My Philosophical Essays on November 25th, 2005

EDIT: April 30, 2006:
This essay was written by me in a day 2 years ago. It was never modified or revised and it contains errors in the english language. It is also highly influenced by Scientology, a religion I then was part of but I have partly left that since then. A proper revision of […]


Jims’ Three Laws of Logic Behind Looking
Posted in My Philosophical Essays on May 3rd, 2004

As it starts to be a tradition for a great Sci-Fi writer to have established their own three laws, (Asimov, Clark etc.) I have done the same.
As I am a philosophical fiction writer, my three laws are about the logic behind looking.

What is true is that which you have seen yourself.
In order to have […]


Insight on Purpose
Posted in My Philosophical Essays on April 23rd, 2004

I recently realized something about purpose that was very nice for me.
I saw that behind everything you do there is a purpose, a purpose behind that exact action.
There is nothing done for no purpose, you can always find out the purpose behind something being done. The purpose does not always have to be rational but […]


My Dream
Posted in Essays, My Plans, Philosophy on January 29th, 2004

It is in my belief that creation, imagination, future-speculations and demonstrations concerning the deep philosophical questions are a much higher activity of man and I consider it one of his superior virtues.
That field is Science Fiction - and that is why I am a Sci-Fi writer.
If man would spend some more time communicating and being […]
