Le Messie
Le Messie is the uber brainchild behind the phenomenal FALSE brand and it's network of subsidiaries. He loves the smell of freshly cut grass and dark rainy days but despises flying in planes and conversations on the phone. In an alternate reality he is also 1/3 of the band Japanese Cartoon.

Attributes Of A Creative Mind
September 17th 08, 1:19
Attributes Of A Creative Mind
Life magazine ran an article in July of 1994 about a group of nuns that were in their 80’s, 90’s and centenarians. All of these women were alert, articulate and showed no signs of Alzheimer’s disease or any other form of mental degeneration. Why? They said they loved to do puzzles every day. They exercised their minds daily. This article focused on the fact that we thinkby creating dendrite connections in the neural pathways of the brain. Neurologically this is called “use dependent plasticity.” If we don’t continue to create new neural connections, the brain will begin to atrophy. This is the onset of senility.
Most of us have formed definite neural pathways of thought. We use habitual methods of thinking to approach life’s challenges. In this way we have created deep ruts in our brain. We have truly hard-wired our mechanism for thought, the brain. If we accept the concept that mind is created by consciousness acting upon the brain, we can see that we need to createflexibility in the brain to have flexibility of mind.
Not only is doing puzzles daily an excellent way of keeping the mind sharp, but different puzzles exercise different portions of the brain. Some puzzles stimulate the left brain, some the right brain. There are also different types of thinking; logical, analogical, and lateral are a few examples. These different modes of thinking apply to solving different kinds of problems. Most of us were educated in the public school system and our logical left brain habits were specifically targeted. Reading, writing and most forms of arithmetic use structured sequential thought. Reasoning is also an attribute of left brain thinking. Developing our ability to reason is an art that results in wisdom.
Learning to access and stimulate the right brain is done with art, sports, music or other forms of holistic, spatial and audio forms of training. You can also stimulate the right brain by using your mind to solve spacial orientation, pattern recognition and analogical puzzles. The rightbrain is thought to be the seat of insight. Opening pathways in the right brain allows us the ability to facilitate insight. Insight is that sudden knowing of the answer. By nurturing and exercising our capacity for insight we have opened up the potential for genius to emerge. We are offering a variety of puzzles here, presented daily, that will stimulate the left brain, the right brain, and also generate a whole brain entrainment. Whole brain thinking is akin to intuitive thought, and contrary to common knowledge, it can be taught and exercised, thereby strengthened.Developing our ability to reason with clarity and listen to our insights will further unify the brain and allow for creative genius to be common in our lives.
HUMOR, Laughter is the best medicine. Science has proven that laughter massages the internal organs, enhancing digestion and circulation. Humor also releases endorphines in the brain that give us an overall sense of well being. Children are most susceptible to humor and can readily accept itunder even difficult circumstances.
What is humor? Humor is the ability to recognize the absurd in any situation and to accept it. Humor is the ability to not take oneself or others too seriously. Light heartedness is the essence of a joyful and creative life. A sense of mirth helps relax the mind and make it more flexible. This site hopes to instill humor and laughter in each day’s experience. Each daily puzzle will be prefaced by a good joke or silly anecdote. In today’s stressful world a good joke to start the day will lighten up everything that comes our way.
If you study the great genius’ of recorded history, most of them had an excellent sense of humor. Examples are Einstein, Pablo Casals, Albert Schweitzer, Leonardo Da Vinci, Shakespeare, Goethe, and the list goes on.
Humor can also be cultivated and developed. As one’s creative abilities increase you will be able to sense the absurd in any situation. Doing this allows for freedom of thought. INSPIRATION, Inspiration is another element that fosters a creative mind. It helps to start each day with an inspiring thought or little story left behind by the creative genius’ of the past. These parables and thoughts will uplift you and guide you through the day, keeping your mind in a lofty place. The soul is lifted by noble reflections from minds and hearts that have soared beyond the norm. When your soul is uplifted your ability to grasp and perceive in creative ways is greatly enhanced. Your desire to reach beyond your present boundaries is stimulated. This is the essence of a creative attitude, the desire to reach for new horizons. A creative mind needs the resiliency and flexibility that results from inspiration. Inspiration reminds one of a childlike attitude of exuberance and acceptance of life. This can be felt in the expression of a happy toddler. Start your day with this feeling and everything that comes your way will be sweetened. Creative solutions will become obvious to even life’s most difficult challenges.

Recommended Reading: Physics of the Impossible by Michio Kaku
September 15th 08, 20:30
Nothing is impossible…
“Kaku deals with such far-fetched ideas as invisibility and teleportation in a completely scientific manner. He divides impossibility into three classes: Class 1 for concepts our present technology can’t make manifest, but which don’t actually violate any known physical laws; Class 2 for concepts beyond our technology that also challenge our interpretation of those laws; Class 3 for concepts that outright defy known physical laws and would demand huge changes in our understanding of how the universe works.
Surprisingly, the third section is the shortest. Only two of Kaku’s topics are impossible in this sense. Perpetual-motion machines and precognition, the staple of storefront psychics, come much closer to true impossibility than constructs familiar to us through cinematic special-effects, namely Class 2’s time travel, faster-than-light spaceships, and parallel universes.”

Some beliefs are like walled gardens. They encourage
exclusiveness, and the feeling of being especially privileged.
Other beliefs are expansive and lead the way into wider and
deeper sympathies.Some beliefs are like blinders, shutting off the power to choose
one’s own direction. Other beliefs are like wide gateways
opening wide vistas for exploration.Some beliefs weaken a person’s selfhood. They blight the growth
of resourcefulness. Other beliefs nurture self-confidence and
enrich the feeling of personal worth.Some beliefs are rigid, like the body of death, impotent in a
changing world. Other beliefs are pliable, like the young
sapling, ever growing with the upward thrust of life.-Sophia Lyon Fahs

It’s busy Season here again at the FALSE camp, it’s actually been busy this whole year! In between juggling Slam work along with the new partnership Fallacy Of Rome and not forgetting a very surprising FALSE Season 6 and diy refurbishing the false home and about 21 other things, i’ve found new ways of allocating time and making time work for me instead of the other way around…..
which has allowed me the Time to think that it’s about time i brought back my think pieces to the blogs, i’ll be posting some of my favorite quotes of all time that have gone up in the past… starting with my all time fav:
We’re all looking at the point of view of our own reality tunnels..and when we begin to realize we are looking at the point of view of our own reality tunnels we find it is much easier to understand where other people are coming from.. Or the ones who don’t have the same reality tunnels as us do not seem ignorant or deliberately perverse or who are lying or who are hypnotized by some mad ideology, they just have a different reality tunnel and every reality tunnel might tell us something interesting about our world… If we are willing to listen..
-Robert Anton Wilson (1932-2007)
