Is it normal that i'm so angry with the truth contest explanation of life/death

I read this document online called The Present on Truth Contest's site (you can find it by putting Truth Contest in any search engine).

It attempts to explain the truth of life with the shortest, clearest, and simplest explanation. The first 3 pages summed up the truth of life and the rest of the short book elaborates on it.

I found after I read the book that I was sooooo angry and volatile. I thought a lot of it was BS. But the thing that got me is that I am still thinking about the things said in the book and it's been about a month since I read it.

And I am finding that a lot of what was said in the book I am seeing in my life as self-evident.

I'm confused. Could it be that it is the actual truth of life and my mind is wrestling with it and trying to hide it? Or, has something like this happened to someone?

    I think that article is complete non sense. There's so much of that type of stuff floating around its so annoying. For me I experimented with this stuff on and off for about a year, From July 2010 to November 2011. During quarter three of 2010 I really realized the value of currency and how much of a difference it makes. Religion which I tried in 2011 was awful and I recently realized in my opinion is a very subjective and oppressive item of propaganda from some King/Queen or ruler. Personally when I look at the sky at night and see all the blackness it makes me assume that the universe is infinite, so it really dispels all the pressure and concern those type of articles articulate. Personally I think this spiritual-self stuff derives from religion. Experimenting with Indian subcontinent religion it sounds exactly the same. Religion as I stated in my opinion is a heavily subjective form of propaganda that really promotes the obedience of subjects possibly created by and practiced by former Kings/Queens, emperors, high priests so on and so forth. So I wouldn't take it too heavily. If you look how economics work it'll be reliving because its straight forward, from there is a good avenue to see what deterrence from a typically smooth flowing economic theory or system, (in my opinion government) could attribute to issues which you notice on the earth or in general. Personally I'm in favor of pure capitalism, with one corporation. I have a post of about that lol. Hope that helped because I was semi sucked down a pretty uncomfortable path with these type of articles and assumptions, and it was economics in general that helped give me a more articulate view on things, and just general curiosity. Hope you have a nice day =).

      Interesting points. I went back to read more of The Present, especially the first chapter and it seemed to clear up more things in life that I have confirmed. So, now I'm even more confused. Because most of the things I confirmed go against things I was told not to believe all my life.

    *The operator of the truth contest site is a brain washing criminal who stalks a physics student that goes by the name 'Rog Rabbit' on youtube/G+ (Roger Gaona on facebook). Check out his music playlists and you'll often find the spam within them. Typical cheap stalker trying to take credit away from others without even acknowledging the free knowledge and twisting it to make it seem like it's not, and like they created it.*

    Well generally I do not read these "Better life" and these type of supposedly philosophical books since they tell you simple shit you can find out on your own. They promise you garenteed results if you follow certain commands. These often do not think of every possible outcome of said results or said situations and so these are often incredibly unhelpful. I do not see why you are angry since if the book is truly this stupid only an idiot would follow it.

      Yeah, the thing is that pretty much all of what I read in The Present was stuff you can find out on your own, but it explains that the mind is hiding it. And it has a point because a lot of stuff it points out IS actually self-evident, but I was shocked that I did not see it right in front of me.

        So why did this make you so angry? Are you angry because something in it was true and its something you didn't want to face?

          Yes, you have a point. In all honesty, I didn't want to face it because it means that all my comfortable illusions about life have been shattered. The part about evolution on the first page I totally disregarded because of my Christian upbringing. But the more I see in my life everyday, I see that it is obviously true.

          Seems like everything I thought I knew or was true was a lie and that's tough to deal with.

            If you believe evolution and everything was a lie what did you think while attending school?

              I just shrugged it off. Did what I had to while learning to get the grade, but didn't believe any of it. The conditioning of my religion was the key factor. Making me not even think about it as I should have.

    I haven't read it yet, never heard of this, but it sounds like something in it got to you, or you wouldn't be so angry and upset about it. Maybe the anger and month-long discomfort is a result of cognitive dissonance? That's just my impression based on your post alone. I'll go check out this "book" now and add more if needed. There certainly is a lot of crap out there... I'd be surprised if this is an exception.

      Very interesting point. I'd be really interested in seeing what others think about it. If they are on the same page as me. If any of it resonates.
