When the Picture Doesn’t Look Right

Book Cover Full Size.pngEvery so often, a set of numbers comes along that tells a story louder than any headline. You don’t need a Ph.D. or a government grant to understand it. All you need is the same thing every rancher, schoolteacher, and café regular in this country was born with: a built‑in sense for when something just doesn’t look right.

Here are the figures that have been making the rounds:

Jeffrey Epstein’s death — only 25% of Americans believe the official suicide story. Half the country calls it murder, and 70% think the government is hiding something.

Building 7 of the Twin Towers — just 21% accept the fire‑collapse explanation. A full 52% suspect controlled demolition, and the rest are stuck in the uneasy middle.

The JFK assassination — 29% believe Oswald acted alone, while 65% say there was a conspiracy, especially among the folks old enough to remember where they were that day.

Now, you can stare at those numbers all afternoon, but they won’t make sense until you look at them through the lens of Natural Law. That’s where the truth starts to show through the fog.

Nature equips every creature with a simple gift: the ability to recognize threats and opportunities in an instant. A bird doesn’t need a lecture to know when a shadow overhead means trouble. A child doesn’t need a briefing to know when a story doesn’t add up. We are all born with that same “What’s wrong with this picture?” gauge. It’s not fancy, but it’s reliable.

Over the years, life has a way of dulling that gauge. Too much noise, too much distraction, too much running from reality. But it never disappears. It just waits for the moment when something in the picture tilts sideways.

And that’s what these statistics are telling us.

There is simply no way—under Natural Law—that so many millions of people would reject an official explanation unless something in the story was crooked. Folks don’t need engineering degrees to know a skyscraper doesn’t fall like a sandcastle. They don’t need forensic training to know Epstein didn’t tie that knot. They don’t need a history seminar to know Oswald didn’t pull off the crime of the century with a cheap rifle and a lucky afternoon.

When the public rejects a story this overwhelmingly, it’s because the story isn’t true.

Now look at the moon landing. Ninety‑four percent of Americans believe it happened. Why? Because nothing in that picture sets off the internal alarm. The story fits the world as we know it. The facts line up. The instincts rest easy.

What troubles me is not that people doubt these other stories. Doubt is healthy. Doubt is natural. What troubles me is that so few seem bothered by the fact that they doubt them. A nation can survive bad actors. It can survive corruption. But it cannot survive a shrug.

I haven’t yet figured out why the disbelief is so widespread while the concern is so scarce. But I do know this: admitting you don’t know is the first step toward finding out. There’s a strange kind of wisdom in that. It opens the door for answers to walk in.

And sooner or later, they always do.

Natural Law Begins With What We Don’t Know

 Foundations for a Fantasy‑Free View of Life

Book Cover Full Size.pngNatural law begins by understanding and internalizing what we don’t know. We will never know these things, and that fact itself is part of the law we live under.

Why are we here? Plain and simple, we just don’t know. Explanations abound. Some are religious, some are scientific, some are poetic. Still, no one knows.

We don’t know the origin of life. Some say God. Some say that life began when dead chemicals miraculously combined in such a way that life generated itself. The theories are many. The facts are few. We just don’t know.

We don’t know what life is. We can describe how to stay alive, how to measure vital signs, how to repair a body. We can write textbooks about biology and medicine. Still, we don’t know what life is. We just don’t know.

We don’t know what death is either. All we really know is that what we call “life” ceases at that point. Since we don’t know what either life or death actually is, we don’t know which is better. It seems like life is better, but that is a feeling, not knowledge.

We all have the will to live. We feel it strongly. We act on it every day. Yet we don’t know its source. We don’t know why we cling to life, only that we do.

We don’t know what consciousness is. Is it something outside of living things that we tap into, or is it contained entirely within the body? We can talk about brains, nerves, and signals, but the simple truth remains:
we just don’t know.

We know that there are no experts on God. We also know there are no experts on there not being a God. On this question, everyone stands on the same ground—no one knows.

Finally, no matter what we are doing or thinking, no matter what kind of expert we are, there is always more that we don’t know than what we do know. That imbalance never goes away. It is built into the human condition.

“To understand that there is no security is far more than to agree with the theory that all things change…
The principal thing is to understand that there is no safety or security.” — Alan Watts

Natural law starts right here: with the honest admission that our knowledge is small and our ignorance is vast.
Once we stop pretending otherwise, we can begin to see how the world actually works. This is the first step in
a longer journey—one that will take us from the unknowns we must accept to the lies of life we no longer have
to fall for.

 

 

Natural Law Doesn’t Lie: Epstein “Killed Himself” Is the Dumbest Story Ever Told

Book Cover Full Size.pngLook, if you understand even the basics of natural law, the official story collapses in about three seconds. Nature wired every creature on this planet with an instant read on risk and reward. A dog hears gunfire once and bolts for cover. Expose him to it as a puppy and the fear fades, but the wiring is still there. Humans? We’ve spent centuries training ourselves to ignore that wiring and believe whatever the guy in the suit tells us. But the wiring never fully dies.

That’s why the Epstein “suicide” narrative is dead on arrival for anyone who still has a pulse.

The Propensity to be Loyal

The propensity to be loyal to what a person is born into…. and most all of what he is familiar with – is instinctive. Folks are loyal to their alma mater or any school they might be attending. They are loyal to their town or neighborhood. The list goes on.

The propensity to be loyal is a human instinct. Such an instinct has been necessary because, over eons, it has been necessary for the survival of the human species. In the modern world, such an instinct can and often does work against the welfare of the individual. Life and history move rapidly – while instincts take eons to change and accommodate sociological changes.

One might be asked. Are you a loyal American? In today’s world an interesting answer might be, “My loyalty is conditional.” When using natural law, people and institutions are treated according to how they function, and not according to how they are defined.

The United States is defined as a republic. Does it function as a republic? To what extent should an individual be loyal to an institution which is not what it is deemed to be?

Clues to Direction of AI

There aBook Cover Full Size.pngre two questions. What an entity knows?, How well does an entity use what an entity does know? In doing AI searches, I have noticed that an inquiry that asks a completely non-controversial question, gets a genuine, sometimes extraordinary answer. Ask a question that threatens the existing power structure and a non-threatening, often ambiguous answer is generated.

Thinking in the light of reality allows one to see what is obvious. One thing is for certain. AI is already being used to manage the thought, understandings and opinions of the public.AI is apparently quite inept with respect to abstract thinking and genuine human nature.

The Imaginary Incentive to Serve

The world we live in is governed by the laws of dominance and subservience. There is no way to escape the system until our tenure here is complete.

Most people are unwilling to entertain the idea that most of what we do in aggregations of people is instinctive and that we have inborn propensities that are always present. `

Two of the instincts are to exalt our species and exalt ourselves as we interact with others in in the various aggregations we belong to. Because we are so important and special to ourselves, it is normal to expect that others view us in a similar light.

What Is Most Relevant In These Trying Times

Are Americans  crazy? I say no. What we can see is mal-adaptive behavior. As
previously mentioned the evolution of free markets and democratic systems, in terms of
economics is of greater influence than the invention of the wheel.

What we are seeing worldwide are populations consumed and absorbed in instinctive behavior. The emergence of free markets and democratic principles changes the way mankind reasons intellectually. It does not change the adherence to instinctive behavior.

The Game of Dominance and Subservience

The Game of Dominance and Subservience  PDF

Would it not be nice to have a board game called Dominance and Subservience? Perhaps if enough people played the game, it would come to light that life exists in a system of dominance and subservience.

It is the job of each species to dominate and make use of as many other species as possible. Dominate all of the other species and have them serve mankind. They don’t all get a bad deal. Dogs volunteer to be dominated and get a decent deal in return. Dogs end up trading freedom for comfort and are content when able to do so. Continue reading

Why Folks Suffer

Suffering is not a punishment — it is a portal. It is neither the result of wrong decisions nor merely fate. Suffering is the cosmic trigger that awakens the dormant parts of your soul, compelling you to break illusions and transcend limitations.

If suffering was solely due to wrong decisions, life would merely be a cause-and-effect game. But the cosmos operates on Karmic Alchemy, not mechanical logic. Every suffering you endure is an alchemical fire — burning away false identities, toxic attachments, and unaligned desires. It is not a punishment, but a purification. Continue reading

The Beginnings of Language

The Beginnings of Language. PDF

Spoken and written language are the two most common forms of communication …. although it is often assumed that with respect to communication that is all there is. Formal language is only one form of communication.

Human beings communicate in many different ways and formal language was the last to develop. Other types are ongoing but usually not within a person’s awareness.

Research shows that lower animals broadcast and receive mental images. Human beings do the same thing but have lost so much of that ability, that the impressions are very faint and usually explained away as anxiety or something else. Regardless, as a person walks about , he broadcasts his state of mind to the world and to all he encounters.

What is charisma? Charismatic people broadcast an image that appeals to a lot of different people. Karma may very well cause the reaction by others due to the state of mind being broadcast. Someone who is lonely broadcasts a lonely state of mind and ends up being avoided as a result. Positive thinking gets good results, because that is the state of mind being broadcast.

If nature has provided such an efficient way to communicate, why would spoken and then written language develop? Don’t forget that our existence is a game of dominance and subservience. There are peaceful corners of the world where people live and interact but on average life is completely brutal. Humanity today is more civilized than at any time in history. There was a time many thousand years ago when there was no peace. Everything was taken by force.

When caveman A planned on attacking and robbing caveman B and transmitted that image, caveman A put himself in danger. Caveman B would carry out a preemptive strike. Over time , communicating with mental images waned and verbal language became more sophisticated. In modern times, communicating with mental images is so subtle, all but a few deny that it occurs. But, it does.

As mental transmission decreased, the lie as a tool for survival was born. Without the need to lie for purposes of survival , language would have never developed.

Love in the Light of Reality

Love in the Light of Reality PDF

Love in the light of reality is different than love as it is explained in society. In the world of reality, love in a romantic relationship is far less common than it is popularly perceived. A wedding takes place. All who attend do so on the basis that the couple has fallen in love and are joining together in life on that basis. Such is not often the case, although it does happen.

Young folks, of course, are compelled by nature to pair up in marriage and other types of relationships. Both girls and boys feel incomplete when they are unable to do so. Neither, in the beginning, are looking for an individual to devote their life to. Instead, each one is looking for a resource that will serve their personal interests. Continue reading

What is Time? The Quillian Theory

The time we know is based upon measuring the revolution the earth makes around the sun and then how the world turns during that time period. If we lived on another planet, Neptune for example, time would still be time but we would measure it based on different orbit and different planet spin.

I am not a physicist – but I am a fan of people who are physicists. Physicists talk about things like time dilation for fast moving objects. How much time goes by depends upon how fast you are moving. Even though I am a fan of physics and physicists and admit that they are all smarter than me, I disagree with what they believe about time. I have every expectation that this theory will be quickly debunked. Nothing would make me happier. Then I would no longer be distracted from thinking about things I actually do know something about. On the other hand , if it turns out that this can’t be debunked and I am actually right ….then I should get the Nobel Prize in physics. Of course this idea is so simple, that there is a real good chance others have thought of the same thing.

Regardless, through fantasy free thinking, it is natural to find issues with the basic assumptions on which a theory is based. For example, Keynesian economists imagine a certain entity into existence which simply does not exist. This is the concept of a straw man. His entire general theory depends upon the presence of a completely imaginary creature. There is no point in learning the complexities of Keynesian economics if the most critical assumption it is based on cannot be found anywhere in nature.

I am suggesting that what Einstein and others have been observing is not actually time. Time is independent of the speed of light and objects moving around the universe. Really smart people have trouble noticing simple things.

Here is my argument:

For the sake of the explanation – let’s assume that it is possible on various planets around the universe to communicate instantaneously.

There is a human on Earth, a being on Neptune and a 3rd creature in a different galaxy. Each being has a bell. They all agree to ring their bells simultaneously and do so. Based on earth time alone our guys’ bell will be rung now (1:00 pm for example). The being on Neptune will ring his bell at now plus 223 light minutes according to earth time. The creature in another galaxy will be ringing his bell at now plus his distance in light years, Earth time also. Regardless, all of the bells ring simultaneously. Allowing for small margins of error, all of the bells will have been rung at the same time. Next , the beings agree to ring their bells in sequence rather than simultaneously. Earth will ring first. Neptune will ring second. The being in another galaxy will ring third. There will be a short pause between rings. It will be ding ding ding. The pause between the dings is what time is. Physicists are measuring objects, waves and such moving around the universe. Time is independent of all of that. The Earth bell rings. The being on Neptune taps a foot a few times before ringing his bell. After the Neptune bell rings, the distant galaxy creature taps his foot before ringing his bell. There is time between each ring. This is time passing and it has nothing to do with the speed of light. The Earth guy will have one measurement of how much time passes. The other two ringers will decide how much time passed by using their unique time systems. There is no known method of measuring the time that I just explained. Physicists are studying the dynamics of waves, objects and anything moving with respect to one another. These efforts are to be applauded but they are studying something other than time.

Why Some are Rich and Others Poor

Why Some are Rich and Others Poor PDF Version

Fairness is not a natural part of our universe. Our species is born with a sense of fairness between ourselves and others, mostly on an individual basis. In society overall, self interest is our only significant incentive. The rich know how to succeed financially. The poor lack that skill.

Those of us who think in the light of reality know these things automatically. This amounts to possessing an advantage – The Fantasy Free Advantage. What is true is true…. whether we like it or not. Society as a whole fantasizes to avoid reality because in its raw form it is so daunting. Laws of dominance and subservience govern our world, Fantasy is a more pleasant notion and it replaces the gravity of our entire existence.

Notice that Jesus never tried to challenge the overall scheme of things in the world at that time. Instead, while being charitable to the poor, he never suggested a means of eliminating poverty. Sometimes what is not written in the bible is as important as what is clearly stated.

Accept reality as nature presents itself , and peace magically follows as disappointment wanes. Even if we can’t eliminate poverty, we have peace. Peace is worth a lot.

 

The Game of Dominance and Subservience

The Game of Dominance and Subservience  PDF

Would it not be nice to have a board game called Dominance and Subservience? Perhaps if enough people played the game, it would come to light that life exists in a system of dominance and subservience.

It is the job of each species to dominate and make use of as many other species as possible. Dominate all of the other species and have them serve mankind. They don’t all get a bad deal. Dogs volunteer to be dominated and get a decent deal in return. Dogs end up trading freedom for comfort and are content when able to do so.

Human being are the dominant species living in the world today. Humans not only dominate all other worldly species, they also dominate and make servants of each other. Dominance and subservience are such an important part of life, the process is sometimes hard to notice. Subservience is almost always voluntary as with dogs.

Early in life, humans gain some knowledge of what they are capable of and who and how many people they can influence. Decisions are made to serve in exchange for comfort, mostly when individuals have concluded in their own minds that it is in their best option for survival. None of this is spoken.

Some are more successful at the game of Dominance and Subservience than others.  What becomes of the most successful players of the game? These folks become presidents, congressmen and CEOs of huge corporations. The very most successful are private citizens who control enough wealth to dictate policy to government. World leaders are among the very best at dominance and subservience. Power and money are the rewards.

Where is the game of dominance and subservience played? It is played everywhere but the greatest contests go on in and around government. Democracy turns out to be a predator’s playground. Government’s primary activity turns out to be that of those with enough power getting what they want through government and having others pay for it.

Ordinary citizens fall in the trap of believing elected officials are motivated by ideology and are trying to improve the country. Governments have never operated that way.


 

An Early Goodbye

An Early Goodbye. PDF Version

Who knows what the future holds? It is no secret that I have been extremely sick for at least 6 years. I am at the point where mortality is seriously knocking at my door. Back in 2022, after my original site was purposefully destroyed, I restarted it under the jamesquillian.com URL and began a second one fantasyfreeadvantage.com.. At that point, I promised a loyal reader, that I would continue posting, even if only he, and my family ever read it. Today, neither blog has achieved the level of vibrancy it had prior to being purposefully destroyed, However, my comeback has been substantial, so i am happy I have followed the path I have.

This is not a goodbye immediately. I .do feel the need to provide an explanation, should I suddenly be called home,

To all who are interested, I honestly have broken the code. My technique is so simple, folks have trouble taking it seriously. If I get more time, I intend on teaching moreof my techniques. Basically, I teach others to think in the light of reality.

The issue that makes it difficult is that reality itself, is not a normal human human condition. It starts by recognizing that we are all born into an ongoing power struggle. History shows that this is true. Because of the harshness of reality, the mind replaces it with fantasy, Fantasy then replaces our natural inborn sensibilities.

With my passing, my sons plan on keeping the site up indefinably. When my time comes, one son will make a post explaining my demise and explain plans for the future of the sites.

Over the years, my role has morphed into one of teaching. It is mostly, all that matters to me these days. I hope others will give my sons the encouragement they will need and appreciate.

Reality is the path to genuine peace even though, at first it seems to be just the opposite,

God bless each of you. The coming days will be difficult for all. Those of us who will be here, not in the sunshine, but the shadows will be sparred any ensuing hardships.
