The Inteus Editorial

If you are one of my Facebook friends, you will recognize "Inteus" as my chosen nickname for my profile. It is simply a Native American name meaning, "No Shame."

For nearly five years, I have posted on Facebook, everything from my family, to what I do, where I have been and my thoughts and opinions. I want to eliminate my thoughts and opinions on Facebook and keep it simple for now on, with less information there.

Generally Facebook individuals, don't care to read much beyond anything more then a paragraph. My post often exceed that and are more like a Facebook Note.. Thus, one of the many reasons I am returning to writing and publishing a blog is to be able to express my thoughts and opinions on various subjects here, and with a bit of more freedom, then there.
Furthermore it's difficult to put them in a single paragraph as the post, and at times, I utilize quite a bit of comment space, for a continuation of the post. This should be the end of that!!

I have published several blogs before, but only one that went on for a few years. It was originally called the "Athens Independent News."
 Most of those posted articles are now archived in Google Blogger, under the title of Joe Black blogs..

My intended purpose here is to write each day or every other day, my thoughts particularly on the subject of individual sovereignty, the Spirit of the individual, and our Oneness as humanity.
It is not my purpose to convert individuals but simply to offer opinions that might inspire others to think for themselves and to consider perhaps viewpoints a bit out of the box of their already conformed thinking.
I say conformed thinking because we have been since an early age, been taught to see, perceive and evaluate things in only a certain way. We fear to have a change of mind about much of anything that we believe and have believed for a very long time. We especially fear thinking outside of the status quo, as we fear being or made to feel as an outcast out of the greater group of humans around us everyday, our family, our friends, and in general our culture and society altogether. We also fear more then anything, that we could possibly be wrong or have been wrong in what we have believed..
It leaves us with a very scary feeling, our psyches are anchored in our beliefs..

To have a new paradigm view is threatening to our ego. It has to be exposed, made completely naked all over again, and willing to take in new information perhaps that in former belief, we have told our self it was wrong, error or incorrect, yet without ever examining those very same beliefs ourselves for possible truth.

I hope at the end of my blogs, people will feel free to comment, in a positive note, as to if what I have written, may have pricked just a bit of that wanting to be courageous and possibly think about things in a new way, then ever before..  to at least have taken from what I have written with them, perhaps something new, that might be possible and turning it over in their own minds.
To be inspired to themselves to be bold and courageous and step outside of the box even if for but a moment.. and toss it around in their head and in their hearts.. and just see, if my opinion might have some validation within their own logic and experiences.

Anyway, I hope you will read my blog and follow it, even if you never ever comment, but it would be nice now and then to let me know that you do.. at least I will know if I should even continue writing one or not..  liked or not liked.. if you read it, at least I will know the effort made by me, to express my thoughts and opinions have some value to you. They always have value to me, if but anything as self therapeutic.

May love and peace be with you always,

Joey Black  aka " INTEUS"
