To repeat myself, "The Age of Aquarius puts the individual in control.  If we look within, we might be in for a surprise about who we are. Adding to my vision of myself, Gaia Community's Victoria on January 31, 2008 posted her blog, http://www.WantToKnow.info/080131globaltransformationfable

Once upon a time in a far away corner of the universe in the outer reaches of a medium-sized spiral galaxy, there was a beautiful blue-green planet whose inquisitive inhabitants named their world Earth. Many different peoples inhabited this planet teeming with abundant lifeforms. They had come to learn the many difficult, yet rewarding lessons of exploring in physical bodies what it is like to feel separate and disconnected from their own divine essence and from all around them.

The collective consciousness of all people on Earth greatly affected everything that happened on this revolving planet. Yet because of their explorations into separateness, the vast majority of these people - or humans as they called themselves - were unaware of how their collective will formed their world. In order to learn the deep wisdom of this Earth school or Univers-city, these humans had chosen to forget how in their deepest essence they were all interconnected and how every individual played an essential role in what happened on their planet and to their people as a whole.

Over the ages and through thousands upon thousands of revolutions of this jewel of a planet around its shining golden sun, the people of Earth explored, developed, and expanded their awareness through many rich, beautiful, and sometimes even painful experiences. Through the rich drama and challenging lessons of many ages and lifetimes, they several times grew close to the point of feeling again their deep interconnectedness with all beings. Yet each time they came close, that awareness then contracted and was eventually shut down by their collective fear of losing individuality and uniqueness.

After several cycles of this expansion and contraction, at one point in a new expansion phase, the collective mind grew so intelligent as to permit humankind for the first time to soar beyond the gravitational confines of Earth in shiny, metallic spaceships. The collective knowledge of the physical world in which they lived grew so deep that certain individuals began to see visions of a major transformation leading to physical paradise on Earth. At the same time, many others greatly feared that these new mental abilities and sophisticated technologies would be used by the militaries and greedy elite to destroy the very life and world in which they lived.

As their collective hopes and fears grew like never before, many humans dedicated to global transformation joined together in a deep prayer about their lives and world. So for the first time in the planet's history, a powerful collective call was sent out to the universe requesting help and guidance for the struggling planet and its people to move beyond separation, selfishness, and greed towards loving, empowering transformation and integration. For the first time, humanity as a whole opened to connection and help from the great universe beyond the physical confines of their world.

Here's a way to bring the individual to the place of most importance.  http://www.WantToKnow.info/inspirational

The man behind the latest YouTube sensation has spoken out for the first time about his global cuddling controversy. Serial hugger Juan Mann describes the free hugs he hands out...as fast-food emotion. His cuddling campaign received an international dose of publicity today, after http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vr3x_RRJdd4showing his public displays of affection won a coveted front page spot on the video sharing website. An American television audience of millions also watched him at work, when the video was broadcast on the prime-time breakfast program Good Morning America yesterday. Today, the hugger was at it again, brandishing his "free hugs" sign in the busy pedestrian thoroughfare, and having quite a few people take him up on his offer. "It's a way to make people smile," Mann said. "For every person who gets a hug, you see five walk past with a smile on their face." But his efforts to spread the love became a little too popular for some people's liking, according to a blurb on the YouTube video, which said: "As this symbol of human hope spread across the city, police and officials ordered the Free Hugs campaign BANNED." Undeterred, Mann collected more than 10,000 signatures on a petition he presented to the City of Sydney council. Demands for a halt to the hugs petered out shortly after, and the end of the clip shows Mann hugging an official. City worker Elly Mitchell, who handed out a few free hugs on her lunch break today, said she was inspired to organise [an] event after seeing the video online. "We're going to hug the city," Ms Mitchell said.

As the saying goes, when in Rome you do as the Romans do. In other words, you don’t go to the temple and turn over the moneychangers’ tables. Jesus was crucified. And then there is Martha Stewart. She listened to establishment lawyers and lied. Your government gave Martha a prison sentence as a lesson to you.

As the untrustworthy run for election, it is time this election year that you know the whole truth about who you are voting into high office. It really doesn’t matter who wins, you’ve got a government juggernaut bent on taking every right you have.

I didn’t lie. I gave the IRS all the rope it wanted. The IRS hung itself. However, I can only speak for myself. I beat the all-powerful IRS, and as well the Palm Beach County Property Appraiser, and and well West Palm Beach City Hall, on my own, without a nickel’s worth of legal help. Notwithstanding all the government lawyer-lying, notwithstanding 18 federal judges looking the other way in my tax case, I got justice by telling the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth about your mindless government.

I’ve told you about Washington Mutual Bank. Like government, this giant bank is as mindless as a slug. Like government, this bank relies on power. Here we go again. Washington Mutual takes no responsibility for sending my MasterCard statements to the wrong address. The bank is currently demanding that I pay their late charge of $39. Were it 39 million dollars, it would be no different. Hell will freeze over before I’ll pay the charge.

Suppose, as the bank claims, the Post Office misdirected the bank’s computer. The bank misdirected the credit card statements. They were mailed to the wrong address by the bank, not by the Post Office.

The IRS, as its excuse for 11 years of “mistakes” against me, mistakes that took my existence money, claimed it was their computer. Are you going to allow mindless computers to control you? I’m not the norm. I determine from my point of view. I give myself credit for having a mind that thinks. I know the absence of thinking when I encounter it. I know raw power when I see it.

The world I see in nothing like the mainstream. It all comes together the way that makes common sense, as distinguished from lawyer sense. Most people try not to think about the things I spend most of my time thinking about, the things that need fixing. The way our authorities tell it, we, the common folks, are less than we are; authority is more than it is, especially legal authorities. Where they get their nutty ideas is beyond me. Give authority an inch and it takes a mile. Turn the other cheek and authority will leave you stripped of your rights. The United States has made that clear in its all out effort to bring the American people under its control.

Centralized control is being accomplished by government entitlements, which got started during a time in the United States when a third of the workforce was jobless, when President Franklin D. Roosevelt, through his “Fireside Chats,” talked the American people into going along with a government duty to the individual. The Great Depression ended with World War II. Everyone had a job. So what was the government’s duty to the individual? The government’s “Victory Tax” during World War II became federal withholding tax after the war. The government’s glorious entitlement to health care has caused the cost to go out of sight. The only thing left to do is to go for socialized health care, and more dependence on government. Our wonderful Social Security system, which became law in 1935, is pay as you go. It was great for my father’s generation. I’m ahead, too. My children will pay a lot more than they get back. They try not to think about it. I don’t understand it. It’s their sweat government is taking.

When Social Security became law, the average age was in the low 60s. It is now in the 80s and going up. When Social Security became law, the birth rate was low. After World War II, the birth rate soared.

Speaking of government’s duty to the individual, Congress supposedly kept Social Security sound by significantly increasing the cost, so Congress said, to build up a surplus for the “baby boom” years. But Congress proceeded to give the people I-Owe-Yous and spent the extra Social Security funds. After paying the increased cost of Social Security, the taxpayers will pay, also, the I-Owe-Yous. Why haven’t the American people thought about it?

Government doesn’t have a duty to the individual who earns his own keep. Government has a self-serving duty to keep building its power base at the taxpayer’s expense.

Government encourages borrowing to keep the economy strong. As public and private credit soars to new heights, as personal bankruptcies grow, with home foreclosure blighting whole neighborhoods, the encouragement continues stronger than ever to borrow. What’s the thinking? The American people try not to think about it.

Mid East authority envisions an all Muslim world. The United States and Europe are angling for world bankruptcy and socialism—authority going for total control over the individual.

One step at a time, first comes the acknowledgment to self that you can cope, second, then act. Let me tell you, it is not easy. Between my former wife, who was suing for divorce, and the IRS, the two of them conspiring against me, my wife, the recipient of a large check made out to me, cashed it. The IRS froze my $5,000 tax refund and called me a “Fifth Amendment freak.” Where would I have been if I had tried not to think about it? I was on the street. What did I have to live for? Others don’t think about it. You read about atrocities and wonder what made them punish the innocent.

The Palm Beach Post: “Euringer said the IRS is not allowed to withhold refunds pending the outcome of court cases unless the total amount is applied to taxes.” The IRS withheld $5,000 on an alleged $1,500 in tax, penalty, and interest, while I was left homeless—all of which was a mistake. As reported in The Palm Beach Post, the tax court, three years after the IRS put me on the street, ruled that I owed only $640 for 1974 and that I had been overcharged $300 in 1973, and ordered a refund. Think about it. This is your government at work. Are you proud to be an American?

As soon as the case was closed, the IRS was back lawlessly confiscating my property. The Palm Beach Post reported that Kayla Lettow, a tax auditor with the examination section of the agency’s Problems Resolution Office, said that the assessment was dropped because Oregon IRS revenue officer W. J. Manderfeld incorrectly analyzed my tax liability. This story goes on and on, one mistake after another that concerned my very existence, while the courts looked the other way. Do you want your government to help you out?

It wasn’t enough that the IRS put me on the street in 1975. In 1986, the IRS, still trying to collect the same fraudulent tax, went to my bank and took every cent in my account, giving the bank $35 of my money for the service of stripping me. That was this World War II veteran’s rent and grocery money, with the bank’s eager help, allowing the IRS to lawlessly take my property with nothing but a form from the IRS, not even signed. The bank said it had no choice. Surprise! The fraud my bank willingly participated in was published in The Palm Beach Post.

I risked my life in World War II for this outrage. At the end of The Palm Beach Post story, “Euringer said the Nov. 5 bank account levy was a mistake.” The bank could have found out the same way The Palm Beach Post found out. But would a giant bank we place our trust in lift a finger for a customer? No. Dozens of IRS mistakes that deprived me of my existence and no consequence means one thing: OBEY AND KEEP QUIET! You could be next.

I will not keep quiet. Now that I’m in my golden years, why the hell should I do anything but tell the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth? I’ve been declared a permanently disabled veteran. I’m finally getting paid for the corrupt government acts that put me on the street.

Big money goes where big money flows. I’m speaking about your tax money, folks. Those you elect are mindless parasites. Leave them to their devices and they will turn you into slaves, stripped of all rights. I fought for your freedom and got this I bring to your attention in return, this so-called duty of government—politicians buying votes with your existence money. Not only government but big business gives you the middle finger. In today’s society, you have to demand every single right you get.

It is all up to you to admit to yourselves that you’ve been taken big time. If you value your freedom, best that you demand the end of federal income tax, and demand that government inspired entitlements be totally fazed out.

It immediately comes to mind, the first time I set out to see the world it got me in a heap of trouble at home. It was something many of us think about doing and never do.  I was five when I decided to go exploring on my tricycle. The police found me three hours later chatting with a yardman two miles from home.

I was 49 when, disallusioned,  I decided to start over.  I went to sea on a sailboat I named Bold Venture. Family and friends thought I'd lost my mind.  Society doesn't give us permission to do what I did.

I came back reborn the person I was intended to be, my life worth living.  Are we individuals or hive insects?  If I were an authority, someone credited with superior knowledge---a lawyer, a politician, a college professor, a preacher, the so-called intelligentsia---I would do everything I could to convince people that I knew what was best.  I looked within for my answers.

I've a question. Is this I witness the best we can do? 

The picture is my highway to the stars.

There have been eight presidential elections since my bigger than life calling in 1974. I don't pay taxes anymore. I'm receiving taxpayer money. In any case, I have not changed my position, nor has tax law changed its position-that my challenge is the mere disagreement with the way tax money is being spent.

No way, say I. My disagreement is over the direct confiscation of my existence by the United States. I had the inalienable right to be heard in a meaningful way in a meaningful place, but only if I demanded it. The United States knows what to do with those who demand their inalienable rights, and I know better than the United States knows. My Constitution isn't a document in a glass case in Washington, D.C. to gawk at, something that existed in the past, something to get nostalgic over. It works for those believe in it. I went to the county law library, to the source. That's all it took. I willed myself to think bigger than life. Backed by the Fifth Amendment of my Constitution, in relevant part, "nor be deprived of life, liberty or property without due process of law," the United States had it all wrong. The least of us has the fundamental right to be heard BEFORE TAX LAW IS INVOKED. It was my existence the United States confiscated. The law says we pay first and then invoke our right to be heard. "The law" put me on the street on an IRS "mistake." It took me 11 years to correct numerous IRS mistakes, and no thanks to the federal judiciary. This is not the law. This is the mafia-if you don't cooperate, you will most likely wish you had.

To wit: The IRS, after 11 years of lawless acts, in its effort to stop me, was publically exposed by The Palm Beach Post. Neither the courts nor my elected representatives heard me. The president of the United States, since 1974, has tacitly supported mafia tactics that deprive low paid workers of their existence.

"The law" held for slavery until President Abraham Lincoln did away with that so-called law. It's an expedience to say a taxpayer being deprived of his existence by federal income tax can't by law prevent his being booted out of house and home in favor of tax. The IRS laughed at me. The IRS called me a "Fifth Amendment freak." The IRS maintains that the Sixteenth Amendment gives the United States the right to tax workers up to 100 percent of their incomes. I have it in writing from the Director of Internal Revenue. The IRS has no more respect for my right to exist than you would for an ant. And the American people have been voting election after election for this kind of government. You vote for taxing workers out of existence when you vote most American politicians into office. America's elected need the money to rule the world. Look within. You may want to ask your choice of political candidates if they support doing away with federal income tax and the IRS. Some do, some don't

I have a new Zaadz friend, Innerbeauty, who has something to say to us about self-realization. Notwithstanding the truly helpless, are you the wimp who thinks you can't make it without other people's help?

As simplistic as it sounds, the beginning - the 1st step - is to remove all of the "noise" from outside one's spirit. To put away the books, turn off the TV, stop asking for advice. To stop the search.

Although we often believe we are looking to find the Truth, it is human nature to also seek affirmation and support for what we portray to the world. This creates a conflict ... we desire to listen to the internal voice, to follow the path of our heart-spirit - yet at the same time, we fear being challenged about the change we know will happen. Few are those who have listened and followed their destiny from the beginning. Society trains us at an early age to "fit", to adhere to the "status quo" ... and what if our destiny takes us to a different path? Guilt, fear, and 'properness' can all serve to keep us bound to a path created by someone else.

Ask yourself this ... how is it possible for another soul to know what your Truth is?? Even more so, how is it possible for someone you've never met - an author, a talk-show host, a "psychic" - to even begin to know where your journey is meant take you?

We seek help - guidance - from outside sources because we feel we don't know the answers. We've been taught for so long to believe that we need to - or should - turn to "experts" for answers. But again, the question begs to be asked ... how can someone else - someone who is a completely different person than you in every way - how is it possible for them to be an "expert" on where your destiny lies?

It's simple. They can't. You, and only you, know the Truth. What you were put here on this earth to do. Your purpose. Yes, you know. To bring that knowledge from the depth of your soul to your consciousness is within reach of each and every one of us. It's a matter of learning how to listen to it.

Therein lies the purpose of TheSpiritWalk.

And the 1st step ... the most important step of all ... is to stop the noise in your heart and mind. To stop seeking, and to get completely quiet within your spirit. Then, and only then, will you begin to hear the Truth. It is the only way you will know.

"The First Step" speaks of the need to get quiet with oneself in order to learn to hear our HeartSpirit speak to us. The fact is that the answers we so desperately seek all lie within us ... and that all we need do is quiet the outside, and listen to that ‘still small voice' deep within our spirit. The voice of what is true. The voice of our own unique, gifted, direction.

Every day there are more and more articles - more and more philosophies & methodologies - attempting to give people direction from outside sources. Contemporary society - the age of instant media and instant answers - has taught us far too well that the answers are known only by the "experts". Again, the question begs to be asked ... how can someone who sees and knows you only from the outside, be an "expert" at finding your path and the intention meant for your life?

Yes, you have the answer. It is a guarantee from the Heavens. The Universe did not create an incomplete person ... therefore the answer is there, just waiting for you to hear it. Listen to the whisper.
The next step is extraordinarily simple ... as you hear it, do it. Yes, ‘Just do it'. A well-known and often used phrase. But one that is at the crux of following the path Life has intended for you. To find our destiny is fulfilled only in one way. By doing. If we have quieted our spirit, and listened to the whisper ... our path is revealed to us. Yes, the path often changes ... there are many roads we are meant to travel, and yes, we have many purposes - different ones at different times of our lives ... but by quieting and listening, we become aware of where we are to go, and what we are to do. After knowing, comes only one other step ... doing.

There are no other steps needed to actually find and fulfill our purpose - no more understanding or enlightenment. Yes, we can - and hopefully will - continue to grow into all that the Universe wishes for us, but the whisper has been heard, now it is time to begin. Simple? Yes. And this is exactly why it is so difficult. We have been taught not only to look outside of ourselves for the answers, but we have also been well-schooled at the institute of ‘blame'. We have become expert in finding reason to keep us standing still. They are the voices that drown the whisper. And the voices that keeps us from fulfilling our true Purpose, and our Destiny. Voices only serving to delay our journey.

"The Creator has not given you a longing to do that which you have no ability to do."
~ Orison Swett Marden

‘Just do it'. All of the answers are not needed right now ... what is needed is simply to begin. To put one foot in front of the other with what we do know. A baby has no idea of how to run, or how to leap over hurdles, or ice skate, or ski ... but he puts one foot in front of the other with intent and purpose ... he acts on what he knows.

‘Just do it'. There really are no other steps. It is a choice. And there is no one, or nothing else, to ‘blame' if a life goes unfulfilled.

The so-called war on terrorism is another holy war in the history of warfare. The planet Earth is here for the advancement universal consciousness. The second coming of Christ is based on our individual payers for peace. First, we must understand how it all comes together. That will never happen until we look within for answers. "My kingdom is not of this world." I've been sent to the Gaia Community to open for review a new, exciting chapter in human development.
Some of my rambling is understood by the members reading my blogs, some isn't.

We're taught to think solely in the space-time dimension. There are more dimensions in reality creation we are not taught. I've learned to think in the dimension of the cutting edge of science, the dimension of infinite possibility.

Light "travels" in waves in the space-time dimension. At the speed of light, time and space don't exist, indicating another dimension, or dimensions. Space-time is merely the separation of events. It doesn't take a physicist to understand quantum physics. It takes an indvidual who knows himself and purpose. The laws of physics are the same for all observers. There is only one universe, one God. The bewilderingly complex universe classical science has built for itself has now seen its best days and is heading for the scrap heap. That's good news.  We're becoming more spiritual.

The stuff of the universe-matter, motion, energy, force-"is not infinitely divisible, but comes in discrete chunks called quanta" says Ph.D. Richard Wolfson. When observed, light waves become particles called photons, tiny packets of energy, one of the least excitations of nature, an aspect of matter. There is a dimension of infinite possibility made up of the aspects of matter out of which we create reality. We're created images of God, with the authorities trying to change it to images of themselves, each authority in its divisible domain, each of which unquestionably controled for the express benefit of the division's authority: government for government, the church for the church, science for science, all of it man's doing for self-serving puposes.  

Plutarch (40-120 A.D.), leading thinker of his day, said An idea, having no form by itself, but giving figure and form to shapeless matter, becomes the manifestation. Exactly! He was talking about you. Add your consciousness to "the stuff" of the universe. Science has ever so reluctantly begun to admit consciousness to the recipe.

Why is the new reality clear to me and not to others? An event occurred in the month and year of my entrance to our space-time world. Werner Heisenberg, a physics student, published a scientific paper on the uncertainty principle in September, 1925. It was the forerunner of quantum mechanics---bad news for the authorities of divisible domains.

I was born at 4:21 P.M.C.S.T. in Houston, Texas on September 17, 1925. It places me on the astrologer's map with the sun rising on the symbol Aquarius. This time-space event says I'm Aquarius rising, whose symbol is the water-bearer to humanity. Aquarius stands for being public minded, compassionate, independent, ahead of the times.

Ahead of the times, and not a moment too soon, moreover, gifted with great perception, because of the favorable angle of Saturn to Pluto at my birth, and other astrological facts attributable to my time and place of birth, I understand the subtle workings of the universe, say astrologers. I have "vast understanding of the nature of life and of the universe," say astrologers Frances Sakoian and Louis S. Acker.

I've been able to make significant changes in my life. I see in the destiny of mankind a far more receptive being. Why should you try to understand? Says Professor Wolfson in speaking of matter at the quantum level, and quandaries solved, or at least clarified, "by quantum mechanics, a vision of physical reality so at odds with our experience that it nearly defies language," says Professor Wolfson, "relativity and quantum physics are not only profound and beautiful ideas in their own right, they are also the gateway to understanding many of the latest science stories in the media."

In the first place, the idea of life, based on myth, but myths based on truths, the truth based on history, a study of history gives us a clue of where we are at this particular point in history. During the month of my birth, the forerunner of quantum mechanics, the forerunner of the atomic bomb, on September 2, 1945, the day World War II ended, I was on the high seas heading for the invasion of Japan. On September 2, the Japanese unconditionally surrendered to the United States, after the United States dropped two atomic bombs on Japan. I can say that I was born at a crucial moment in history. Too bad that wasn't reported.

Since World War II, we've seen one war followed by another. The future of mankind depends the individual's understanding of who he or she is and purpose for being. Ignoring your own calling, taking the advice of the authorities, will leave you a forgotten memory in the world to come.

I'm reminded by the Western Christian calendar that today is Ash Wednesday, the first day of Lent and occurs forty days before Easter. Ash Wednesday reminds me that on Good Friday I departed my old life. I drove to Miami, arriving on Easter Sunday, by coincidence, for a new beginning. Isn't Jesus about new beginnings? I was the control when I started my new life. I was completely free to be what I wanted to be. I discovered the real me. Why are Christians clinging to dogmas and doctrines that started for political purposes during the Roman Emperor Constantine's rule?

In my view, most people have little idea of their potential. They don't go out on a limb where the fruit is. They remain contentedly ignorant for control purposes. Although the contentedly ignorant don't know it, the control they are under is the reason they need to be controlled.

The ancients, through enslavement, built monuments to their limited beliefs. The planet Earth is itself a monument to modern men in the know. Quantum physics has delved deeply into the makeup of the universe, and finds that matter at the subatomic level brings Einstein's relativity into focus as the origin, development, and possible future, a theory of everything that is. This new reality, rather than wishes for and promises our reality, is something we've never before done-personally account for our reality. It has always been handed down reality by authorities who know what is best for you.

Speaking of control, here we are in another ho hum election for President of the U.S. Millions of cubic yards of hot air and we know exactly what to expect from the election. More central control. Some years back, I went to a political meeting. Senator Paul Tsongas was the speaker. He was running for President. Candidate Tsongas allowed questions. My question: "When are you people in Washington going to start addressing the cause and the cure?" Tsongas: "We're not in public office to address the cause and cure; we address the symptoms."

Did you know that your representatives are in public office to feed you pain killers? Actually, they rob Peter to pay Paul. America was founded on the idea of equal opportunity, "laws of Nature's God entitle them,"not cradle to gave security by means of government entitlement.

"When in the course of human events, it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the Political Bands which have connected them to another, and to assume among the Powers of Earth, the separate and equal Station to which the Laws of Nature's God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of Mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the Separation." One person's pain killer is another person's pain.

Quantum physics explains God as an impersonal nonlocal force beyond local forces, such as gravity and electromagnetism. We are now saying what local forces are, rather than what they do. We are delving into the non-physical qualitative dimensions-states that have no boundaries. We exist, individually, in a state of conscious awareness set by ourselves. Authority's object is to keep our conscious awareness as limited as possible and itself in control. Quantum physics has opened Pandora's Box on the powers that be. The long and short of it is that we're beginning to personally account for our reality, and minus authority, connect with one another.

Everything that is moves. Everything that is, from the smallest excitation, has a beginning and an end, and the whole is bigger than the sum of the parts, the mind of man included. We are composed of zillions of parts, and a state of mind, according to The Holy Bible, in the image of God. I am that I am, the ultimate, notwithstanding our visitors from other worlds, in conscious awareness on this planet. Rather than allow the Holy Joes to set my limits by their choice of the scriptures, I set my limits of conscious awareness.

In answer to my doubts, a scientist, actually a Catholic here at Zaadz delivering his message, maintains that a quarter of the world's population being Catholic, the Catholic interpretation of God can't be wrong; that is, the quarter of the world's population under the influence of Catholic doctrine and dogma.

My opinion is based on personal experience. Indeed, was not Jesus for all individuals, regardless of his or her religion? I've faired far better since that fateful Easter Sunday I arrived in Miami. From that day forward, I started believing in myself. During my two years at sea, I saved seven souls from a watery grave, myself included. My friends, your savior doesn't exist in the dogmas and doctrines of the Catholic Church. My contribution for Ash Wednesday: Your savior exists in you.

This blog is being written with my friends in mind who support Obama. Obama speaks in platitudes. I note that he has really nice teeth. It makes him look great when he smiles, but  his rise to stardom has bewitched and beguiled him.  He doesn't know whether he's afoot or horseback.

The law in America provides that the poor shall be provided with health care at the public's great cost, and senior citizens with subsidized health care, no matter how wealthy they are, which costs run into the trillions. Government entitlements are of higher value than taxpayer rights. The poor are being taxed out of house and home. America's judges call it the Preferred Freedoms concept. Equal opportunity isn't good enough. I guess we have to hit rock bottom before we see the light. History is about to repeat itself.

Presidential candidate Huckabee advocates doing away with federal income tax and the IRS. Super Tuesday's vote left Huckabee trailing Clinton, Obama, and McCain, good indication that America's vote favors the Preferred Freedoms concept. That's good, since I'm a senior citizen, but bad for taxpayers. It's against my best interests, but I'm on the taxpayer's side.

I've been pointing out in my blogs a new way of thinking that will make the old way wrong in every situation you can name. By the 20^th century A.D., life's journey had taken humankind to a self-determining person responsible for his or her choices. There is a term for it: existentialism. Time waits for no man. It's wake up time, folks. You are about to learn the hard way.

Interestingly, the planets have lined up to tell the American people that this election year will be the beginning of a great disruption. Actually, the planets were lined up the same when Attila the Hun took over Rome. If I were to vote, I'd vote for Clinton, but I won't, since I'm a ward of the state. I predict that Clinton will win the presidential election, and by the year 2012 she will make George Bush look like a saint, and the choice of the American people this election year the worst any people ever have made since Sodom and Gomorrah. That's good! The American people will surely see the light, hopefully, before it is too late.

Happy go lucky people, unfortunately, don't contemplate the darker side of life. It leaves them unprepared. Being prepared doesn't mean to take a negative view of life. My ruling planet Uranus, the disrupter, leaves me with experiences I'd like to share. Uranus' disruption took charge of my life when astrology said it would, in my forties. I underwent radical change. My disruption came in 1975. I went to sea for two years and emerged in control of my life. But in the summer of 1981 I blew it. Impulsively, I took my wife Karen with me on an ill-fated second sea adventure. We ran aground in the Caribbean in March 1982. I spent the next 17 years enduring the after effects.

In 1999, Karen and I became transitory. We sold out and bought an RV. For the next 8 plus years we lived on wheels. On January 2, 2008, we bought a manufactured home. My 33 year personal disruption seems to be coming to an end. It figures. Aquarian people are ahead of the times.

Richard Tarnas, in Cosmos and Psyche, writes about the existence of constant correspondence between planetary alignments and the archetypal patterns of human history. This distinguished philosopher and cultural historian, based on 30 years of meticulous research on the movements of the outer planets and history, reunites science with religion in this critical age with a change of understanding of our universe as to consciousness.

To our great misfortune, we are consciously restricted and programmed to think about "eternal damnation, the soul's predestined fate, in the hands of an angry God, the world sharply divided between the born again and the unredeemed, between good and evil, with all the social and psychological consequences of such beliefs," writes Tarnas, it imposes on us an impregnable boundary that only the imagination can overcome. Without so much knowledge, the ancients imagined-they perceived of a universe with movement and a mind at one with our minds.

Saturn and Pluto's unfavorable angle has been present in every major disruption. The alignment was there when the U.S. dropped the atom bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki. The unfavorable angle was there when Attila the Hun took over Rome. The unfavorable angle is there in the year 2008.

Speaking of movement and mind, movement present in the smallest particle all the way up to the vast universe, given infallible laws of motion to which we are subject, my guru, Evan Harris Walker, M.D., in The Physics of Consciousness, states: "But these laws leave open a range of happenings that are left to the selection of the mind. Behind this selection is the will." Being a quantum physicist, in addition to his medical knowledge of the brain, Dr. Walker leaves us with this thought: "Beginning with the myths and superstitions of antiquity, we have followed a path of discovery into the modern age of scientific understanding."

Although accused by his less thoughtful colleagues of trying to smuggle God into physics, Dr. Walker belongs to a small but growing school of scientific thought in the more open-minded. Biologist Julian Huxley, in his essay, The Future of Man, explains the problem. "Man's exploration and control of external nature has outdone his exploration and control of his own nature." Exactly! Adding to Huxley's thought, Dr. Walker: "But it has only been with the advent of quantum theory that we have discovered proof that we exist as something more than pieces of matter. In the development of quantum theory, the observer emerges as a co-equal in the foundry of creation."

Some of the more open-minded, Astrolger James Redfield and Michael Murphy, cofounder of Esalan Institute, and producer Sylvia Timbers, in The Next Step on Personal Evolution: God and the Evolving Universe, wrote: "each of the planets have been represented by angels. . . For us, the importance of these complex symbols lies in the writers to humankind's long-standing sense that there are beings beyond the physical world with whom we sometimes interact. . . Those of us seeking a comprehensive understanding of humankind's larger potential must at least consider those leadings attributed to guardian spirits or angels."

Dr. Walker: "the tests of Bell's theorem have shown us that objective reality as it has been conceived is not the true fabric of reality. The observer interacts with matter. Consciousness, the substance of the new-found reality as it has been conceived is not the true fabric of reality. The observer has fundamental existence. It is the quantum mind that is the basic reality . . We have found ways to take the measure of consciousness, to study its contact with the functions of the brain, and to discover how the mind, through the agency of the will, affects matter and transcends the limits of space and time."

Things are moving fast and we are obviously not up to speed. With the economy on the brink of meltdown worldwide, and the ball in the U.S. court, the Fed has cut interest rates significantly and Congress is negotiating a $150 billion tax rebate package, which, hopefully, will pump liquidity into the economy in time to save the day. But no matter what the authorities do, we're flying on a wing and a prayer, with Pluto in unfavorable angle with Saturn in the year 2008. The winner of the present presidential election, in four years, may leave George Bush looking like a saint. Having voted for Bush, and the choice between Clinton, Obama, and McCain, I think I'll sit this election out. The world is primed for a great disruption and shakeup of authority.

From the school of hard knocks, I'm one who should know the difference. A word to the wise. When I was faced with the fact that my life was wrong for me, I departed and discovered the real me. When later faced with challenge, I acted in haste and paid a high price. There is a difference. Louis Pasteur said chance favors the prepared mind. Those who are prepared-instead of going on emotion, those who use their minds-sail through the challenges without a problem.

Too bad about that! Only three candidates left standing for president.  What (the bleep) do we know? With 224 blogs stating in every way I could my mind set, I'm nearing my first anniversary with the Gaia Community. For me, it has been a natural. The movement of the planets say I would have vast comprehension of the workings of the universe, and I should spend my time away from the rat race in thoughtful contemplation because I'm here to use my mind.

We note that the travesty man forces on us in rules, as to our behavior, every last time on record leave people standing when the music stops. The rules left me, a worker, standing on the street in favor of food stamps, and America's law enforcement and judges looking the other way. The only rule we need, as to our behavior, is the Golden Rule: Do unto others as you would have them do unto you. You don't look to your government for this answer. You have to look within.

I've been told that I'm living a hundred years in the past. Maybe I'm living in the future and we don't know it. In many ways, it seems to me, my life has been representative of mankind's path for the past 82 years. I was born in the month and year, 1925, that Werner Heisenberg published his uncertainty principle, which was the forerunner of quantum mechanics and the atomic age. I was in combat in Germany. After my buddies and I finished off Hitler and Nazi Germany, I was a combat infantryman on the high seas heading for the invasion of Japan when the United States dropped the two atomic bombs on Japan, which ended World War II.

Little did I know in World War II about my future, locked out and left on the street in the name of tax. The last war the United States won was World War II, and, by the way, the United States lost their war with this taxpayer. I came home to prosperity and the making of the American dream, and departed in 1975, thanks to the rules, disillusioned with life and furious at the United States. The blood lost in World War II went to the head of America's officialdom. In my view, I fought for what turned into the biggest fraud ever in the history of mankind. With all the talk about America's freedom, the United States is snatching it from us as fast as possible, turning citizens into slaves of the state. Never in history has a government gotten away with this kind of a tax fraud. And to think, we, the American people, declared our independence over the taxes the British imposed on us.

Coincidentally, the movement of Uranus, known for its disruptions, coincided with my departure in 1975. The movements of the planets, according to Richard Tarnas, who wrote in Cosmos and Psyche, "an astonishingly consistent correspondence between planetary alignments and the archetypal patterns of human history and biography," Saturn or Uranus in unfavorable angle with Pluto means worldwide disruption every time it happens. It happens starting in 2008, wrote Tarnas.

Tarnas, by examining the planetary Saturn-Pluto cycle, which resembles the Uranus-Pluto cycle found "An atmosphere of gravity and tension tended to accompany these three-to-four year periods, as did widespread epochal closure: the ‘end of an era,' ‘the end of innocense,' the destruction of an earlier mode of life that in retrospect may seem to have been marked by widespread indulgence, decadence, naivete, denial, and inflation.

"Both the First World War and Second World War began in precise coincidence with virtually exact hard-aspect alignments of Saturn and Pluto in August 1914 and September 1939, respectively. The most recent Saturn-Pluto alignment occurred in precise coincidence with the events of September 11, 2001, the destruction of the World Trade Center in New York and the attack on the Pentagon in Washington, and many events set in motion in its wake."

The world, according to Tarnas, is looking now at a nuclear apocalypse, when Saturn and Pluto are square beginning November 2008 and lasting until August 2011. In view of the coming worldwide disruption, perhaps there is a larger purpose in my blogs. If you read about my life, and where I am now, if I can make this happen, could we not all make the same happen in our individual lives? Hopefully, the disruption commencing in 2008 will lead to a more satisfying life for all, without man's antiquated rules regarding our behavior, indeed, life in a world at peace, contentment-and prosperous-the dream of everyone.

Perhaps the end of the world in 2012 the authorities predict is the beginning of a new and better world. My blog on May 1, 2007, "The Zaadz Secret," got 867 hits. It hit the Zaadz idea squarely on the head. It was about being accepted regardless of belief, about putting the individual in control of his or her life, about peaceful coexistence. From trickles come great rivers of progress. My blog was a omen. As a Zaadz embassador, I invite all to join us in our belief: Too often we underestimate the power of a touch, a smile, a listening ear, an honest compliment, or the smallest act of caring, all of which have the potential to turn a life around.

An amazing thing I learned on the History Channel. There is alleged to have been a UFO crash in Aurora, Texas in 1889, complete with the remains of an alien. The good people of Aurora, the religious, the politicians-all the authorities it seems-didn't want to have anything to do with it. Therefore, we don't know whether it happened or not. So what else is new? UFOs have been sighted throughout recorded history, and even before if we believe the pictures of UFOs on caveman's walls. More recently, millions have sighted UFOs. We still don't know if UFOs are real because it would not be good for egocentric authorities to know there could be alien visitors more intelligent than they.

Juries convict people when there is no smoking gun. An all black jury acquitted O. J. Simpson. Ninety-five percent of America's whites thought him guilty. Some trial that was! American justice is a travesty. Being guilty and being good is relative. We've got the "good" folks pitted against the misfits like me who maintain that intelligent life elsewhere in the universe makes as much sense as other than my own intelligence present here on Earth. I didn't get a comment on "musical chairs," so I'm writing this for the benefit of America's "mean and hateful." Let's talk politics.

I say the biggest part of Americans are so wrapped up in red, white, and, blue bunting, and their theory of being "good," like demanding some desirable thing, such as a fundamental right to health care-and force all the pieces to fit the notion-they don't see anything else. They don't see the working poor, like me, relegated to the street in the name of income tax to pay for all the good government does. Three cheers for the red, white, and blue! The U.S. candidates running for president who want to get government out of our individual lives and do away with federal income tax are fairing badly in the voting. America's good folks ask for a free lunch; raise the tax on the rich to pay for it. What are you talking about? The rich are in control of who runs for office.

Several years back the "good" American people in control had a brilliant thought. Since America produced so much grain that the buyer, the United States, didn't have the storage capacity for it all, they gave the starving millions in India shiploads of America's surplus grain, and for nothing in return. (It is more blessed to give than to receive, right?) The generous gift allowed the starving millions in India to live and produce more starving millions. Back off! That's not the point! The point is doing good.

Hmmm! Don't the "good" people know the story of Little Red Riding Hood and the big bad wolf? I guess not. I couldn't win an election for dog catcher. What can I say? I'm the mean, hateful person you hear about. So, bet your life that if I can possibly help it you are not going to do good at my expense.

The end result does not justify the means, folks. But go ahead and vote for our president. Vote for the guy who is going to do the most for America's "good" people. I'll go on history. The "good" people are going to see the system they put in place 60 plus years ago go up in flames, proving that you can't be good without being also intelligent. Maybe you hadn't thought about this: otherwise, to opportunists, you are easy prey.

The president of the United States can only do so much. He or she has to work with what was when he or she took office, what has been taking place for the past dozen presidencies. The world, starting with the election in November, if nothing worse, is going to see the economy go up in smoke. America's "good," during the next four years, are going to be left up a creek without a paddle. Why does it always have to be that way? The government help the "good" depended on is not going materialize. It could have been a gradual change. In the next four years, we're going to see a radical change in thinking. The mean and hateful are going to take charge, and they are going to be a lot meaner and more hateful than I.

The picture is of our manufactured home being delivered. It happened this February 13. For me, probably the last home in this life, it happened on my eighty-second February 13. What a change it will be! For the last almost 9 years, Karen and I have lived in 300 square feet on wheels. We're going from small lockers to a walk-in closet, from a cramped shower to a large shower and jet tub, and a second bath, from an 8 cubic foot refrigerator and freezer to an 18 cubic foot refrigerator and freezer with automatic ice maker, plus another 15 cubic feet of cold storage in the utility room, from a small kitchen counter in our RV to a large counter and breakfast bar, a kitchen with abundant cabinets and drawers, plus a dishwasher. All of this is wonderful, but to be sure there are compensations for giving up a luxurious home. Karen and I lived on a sailboat for six months. It was our choice to retire, sell out, buy an RV and hit the road. We've gotten a lot more out of life by being adaptable.

I was 55 when I met Karen. She was 45. Both of us had lived through miserable failures in marriage. There's nothing worse. We'd both made a hard choice: divorce. We survived. Karen is the warm, friendly type. I'm the go-it-alone independent. A three time loser in marriage, but never a hermit, our marriage has worked out well for us.

The universe is full of uncontrolled energy, exploding suns and such. However, I'm constantly reminded of controlled energy, energy that grows through consciousness and communication. "Alone we grow, together we empower." See Cosmic Gifts of the Universe

When I was 49, a vocational guidance test found me with the adventurous mind of an 18 year-old. I had tried to adjust. I'd fought the business world battle again for four years. No way! I'd been bitten by the free thinker bug. I was more than ready to return to my life at sea.

Karen was the "moss covered" Oregonian, and not what she wanted, I can tell you, not what she was born to be. Although she didn't know it when we met, I was the rolling stone who took charge of her life. Away Karen went on a living adventure. I announced one day that for our honeymoon we were going to Florida, buy a sailboat and sail to the Caribbean. All the way to Salt Lake City Karen repeated that she couldn't believe she was going with me on this lark. I was confident that she would change. In Salt Lake City, Karen announced that she believed she was doing it. As we drove up the western slope of the Rockies, she was singing The Bear Went Over the Mountain. I was right!

I knew Karen was meant for me. From the moment we met, I knew it. My lover is a cosmic gift. The greatest source of energy is instantaneous energy, beyond local forces. The greatest source is the universal mind, of which we are all extensions.

What a life our's has been!  Back where we began, our great adventure commenced 27 years ago. As you see in the above picture, our traveling days are done, and with no regrets on my part. We've found the perfect place to drop our landing gear for good, Big Valley Woods, a unique development in the tall timber 30 miles toward Portland from Mt. Hood.

Last November, Karen asserted that she hated to think about living in a trailer the rest of her life. My comment: "Stop thinking about it. We don't have a choice." (Since we sold our home and hit the road, the cost of a home has doubled.) A week after Karen's comment-that's all it took-I received a letter from the V.A. notifying me I was approved for 100 percent disability. They were writing the letter when Karen uttered her remark! The instantaneous power of the cosmos, the power that gave her to me, answered my queen's prayer.

I don't argue with the power of the universe over us. Due to a service related injury during World War II, I'm permanently unemployable. The notice was out of the blue. I was not expecting it. We could afford the home you see being delivered. My problem is my thee unsuccessful marriages. In all three cases, the cause was that I wasn't seen as the provider, the head of the house. I earned an above average income. I'd have been a millionaire had it not been for three divorces. When I was a boy, the divorce rate was a small fraction of today's divorce rate. People have not developed the idea that government was ever our individual or family keeper. The family was the cornerstone of America. I want to pass on to the young folks who never experienced the world I lived in when I was a boy that we depended on the family, not government. Divorce was a rare thing. There was only one breadwinner. My mom was there for me. Today's moms work in order to pay for other people's keep. It's flat out wrong.

The difference in Karen and my former wives, as far as I'm concerned, is that I trust Karen; she trusts me. Why should we trust government? Government doesn't trust us. As it usually happens in marriages, things have not always worked out well for Karen and I. We've experienced some really depressing disappointments, although our love for one another made the bad experiences much easier to bear. I've learned the hard way that the secret of our good life is faith in self and determination. Don't give up. Things will work out. Surely, all of us have guardian angels. We aren't listening.

This brings me to an important point, and the reason for this blog. I'm still on an adventure in mind. There is an unresolved problem I want to discuss here. At my age, I'm consciously aware that I'm atrophying, but at the same time consciously aware of our increasing purpose in life. It is that which gives me a jest for living. My responsibility is greater than self. I've a bigger than life calling.

I'm speaking to the young who are fully capable. The presidential candidates getting the most votes are knocking themselves out telling everyone how much they will do for us if we vote for them. They are not talking to the young. They are talking to me. While I'm deeply grateful for the American people's generosity, I want my fellow Americans to know that government's true purpose is not to help the individual.

I've a story to tell the young. When I needed a leg up, my government put this low paid worker on the street in the name of federal income tax. It is all recorded in court documents. So, I thank the American people, but it makes no sense to me that government took my God-given right from me when I needed a helping hand with one hand and now gives me the means to buy a home with the other. People make government. You would not ask your neighbor for a handout. Why do you ask government for your neighbor's sweat.

Government is mindless. We, the people, are the government's mind. For everything the political campaigners say they are going to give us, it means taking from someone. The vote should not be about giving to some people and taking from others. How on earth can someone in Washington, D.C. know what over 300 million individuals in America need? Government is not meant to be our keeper.

Another thing I want to point out to my young friends, my Webster's College Dictionary defines liberal as, (1), favorable to progressive reform, (2), designating a political party advocating measures of progressive political reform, (3), based on views advocating individual freedom of action and expression. Conservative is defined as disposed to pursue existing conditions and to limit change. By definition, there is not the slightest question about it, all of the successful candidates for the presidency are conservatives. Those candidates who want a progressive change for the nation's young, for our future, the elimination of federal income tax and the IRS, are losing. If you believe in yourselves, my young friends, you must support those who are looking out for you.

There is no difference in the basic philosophies of Clinton, Obama and McCain. All three are for big, central government. To my young friends, say I, know that the rich go where the money is. All three of the top candidates, in order to remain in office, depend on the rich. All are for no change that would in any way adversely affect the status quo, making dependents of the masses, which is anything but social security. It takes food off of the working poor's table and gives his or her wherewithal to the rich to pay their country club bills. Furthermore, Social Security is anything but insurance. It arbitrarily takes the fruit of every worker's labor.

The tax America's struggling youth pay reminds me of the mythical Greek siren's song. They sang melodies so beautiful that sailors passing by couldn't resist getting closer to them. Following the sound of the music, the sailors would steer their boats towards them or jump in the water to get closer. Either way, it always ended in disaster on the rocks.

To America's youth, say I, federal withholding tax took my rent money. I came home from my night time job. It was midnight when my key didn't work in my one-room apartment door. The lock had been changed. I was relegated to the street-homeless-and nobody heard me. Nobody spoke for me. I can't forget that. The politicians in control of America are frauds.

Things have changed quite drastically in America since Social Security became law. The longer it remains the law, the more the cost, the less the return for those who pay. Social Security is the granddaddy of immensely popular federal entitlements. Say I: "We don't need government entitlements."

Speaking to the young, I ask: Who are the future taxpayers going to vote for when you are ready to retire? Are future voters going to vote for someone who supports Social Security, a program that will take two dollars from the taxpayers for every dollar it gives back? I don't think so. I pray that any authority give me anything in the law in practice, or court decisions, that protects your government entitlement. I've been in every court in the land. America's judges are frauds. If you've recently entered the work force in America, you are dreaming if you think Social Security will not be replaced long before you retire. For you, Social Security is a tax for incumbent politicians, and nothing more. To the young, say I: Don't forget that America's makers and keepers of the law protected the owners of slaves. And keep in mind, too, that King George wanted the American people to pay tax for his grandiose plan.

When in Rome, one does as the Romans do. I do sincerely thank the American people for my new home, but once again advise that if you believe in yourself and your natural rights, you don't vote to be kept by the taxpayers. You vote for the candidates for progressive change.

The truth of the matter is that the makers and keepers of America's law don't mind spilling your blood for their own aggrandizement. I didn't risk my life in World War II for this. I'm a disabled veteran who says America's control has to go if you, the young, expect a life worth living.

As sure as the rising sun, the year 2008 is the year the greatest disruption of all time commences, and at the very time I'm fully involved with the new manufactured home in the picture. Karen and I purchased it on January 2, 2008. I'm guessing that a manufactured home, which is a third cheaper per square foot than conventional, and on a rented site, will depreciate far less than a conventional home in the coming big bust in home prices. The downward spiral has just begun. I predict that the value of a home will go half of its present value. A quarter or more of all homes will go back to the lender, and ultimately to the government and taxpayers.

Home building is basic to the American economy. More other businesses are involved than any other business, and especially so with us. We've been full time RVers for the past nine years. Our only home has been the one on wheels. We don't have a stick of furniture. We're buying furniture, appliances, and accessories, and adding a carport, decks, and landscaping-on borrowed money.

We Americans borrow more than anyone else in the world, and our homes are where most of the borrowing occurs. Presently, the American economy depends on an astronomical and growing debt. All eyes are currently fixed on home building. It must be kept healthy or the whole American economy goes in the tank.

We, the American people, have taken the path of least resistence. We're living on hope and doing everything we can to bring on despair. Add Karen's and my personal experience to the present scenario. Our manufactured home was purchased from Santiam Homes, an Oregon manufactured home dealer, whose slogan is "Building the American Dream." Santiam referred us to their mortgage broker and their contractor. Said contracter was to build our carport, a storage shed, and the decks. Santiam was to deliver the home, set it in place, put the two halves together, connect the water, and repair the damages in shipping.

Santiam's mortgage broker did not proceed with the paperwork in a timely fashion. She allowed the home to be delivered to the site before the loan had been accepted by a lender. Santiam's contractor welched on his written agreement. (He did not mean what he clearly wrote.) What could I do? I fired him.

Santiam asked their mortgage agent for a draw on work performed and discovered that there was yet no loan. Santiam refused to complete its work until the loan had been completed. Fleetwood, the home manufacturer, closed down its plant a few days due to slow business. Note that everyone we're involved with in our home purchase has dropped the ball. We should be moving in our home this February 24 but it sits incomplete.

This experience is a prime example of what is wrong in today's America. Santiam doesn't realize that their failure to perform, with the economy teetering and the money supply rapidly growing, means, with high inflation looming, Santiam is helping to make it happen sooner. No, I would not say at this point that Santiam is one whit of help in building the American dream. Santiam is giving the American people nightmares.

High inflation kills home building. First inflation, then depression, then revolution-that's what we're looking at in this election year, with the usual run of politicians speaking in platitudes, viscously attacking the opponent. What a shame! It's the blind leading the blind. Oh well! I've got a new contractor hired. The loan, a conventional mortgage, is about to be competed. In a few weeks, Karen and I will be in our new home, at least for a time, before the revolution, perhaps, even the rest of our lives.

I do see a bright future on down the line. This has been my message all along. It's all about personal will. We, the people-never the authorities-will make it happen. After going through another cycle of despair, a wiser, better educated individual will emerge. We will find personal power we never dreamed of. We will cross the threshold to a far better future than the one I see just ahead.
