The above foto is of Karen aboard Bold Venture II shortly before we ran aground on a reef in the Caribbean. The world knows only my behavior, the part of me I expose. No one knows what I experience inside. Before I left my old life, I turned against the establishment. My first overt act was to attack federal income tax. Most would agree that it was a crazy thing to do. I wrote a letter to then Attorney General William B. Saxbe. He forwarded my letter to the IRS. The IRS came after me. I had my "bigger than life calling." The IRS turned out to be a paper tiger. They lost.

Before I beat the IRS, I went to sea for two years and experienced an unknown inner power. I was sailing off the Palm Beach, Florida coast one day. I heard voices crying out for help. I scanned the surrounding sea with my binoculars and seeing nothing proceeded on my course. But something compelled me to come about and sail in the direction of the cries for help. I sailed straight to three scuba divers who were drifting on an ocean current miles from their dive boat. Strangely, I never heard from the scuba divers again and my sailing companion never mentioned the event again, which tells us that we don't think about the things we don't understand.

Before my change, I lived an enviable country squire life on a 30 acre spread in a large home. For many years, frustrated and dissatisfied, I was possessed by acquisition of the material. I'd acquired a lot. I had a bigger than life calling. The above related event, and other inexplicable events that occurred during my time at sea, changed the way I think. My life significantly improved.

We are taught to look at wealth as power. On my own, I accomplished more than money could buy. I cut loose from the establishment. A hidden power showed itself.

In that the things we don't know about receive little of our attention, are we not brainwashed? The world calls such experiences as mine anecdotal; they will not stand up to conventional examination. What could be as great a service to mankind as the power to save lives. The establishment is the fox watching over the henhouse.

To the utter dismay of my family, I left my country squire life in search of a better life. Road blocks were put up to force me back to the herd. After two years at sea, I returned to conventional life. Two weeks after wife number three walked out, I found my soul mate. All of this took place within seven years of my bigger than life calling. When everyone thought I'd flipped, when everything should have gone wrong everything went right. Others don't have the benefit of my experience.

Murphy's Law says that if anything can go wrong it will. We don't know the law that says when everything should have gone wrong, everything went right.  After my return, my job didn't work out. I quit in frustration. The sea, once my redeemer, called me back. I returned to the sea, this time with my soul mate, Karen. The second time I went to sea, sharply in contrast with my first sea adventure, if anything could go wrong it did. We ended on the rocks six months after setting sail. My bad luck dogged me for 18 years. I was in several businesses. None were successful.

My health was failing and so was Karen's. We decided to retire, sell out, return to square one (Portland, Oregon), buy an RV, and travel. No one can say why, but everything started going right for us. Our health improved.

Why three failures in marriage? I was living high on the hog's back and possessed with financial worries. My business of 25 years failed. Why? Why all the bad luck? The second time I went to sea the circumstances were entirely different than my first departure. My life with wife number four was good. The second time I went to sea money was no problem. Going to sea was not a well thought out decision. There was no valid reason to depart.

Several years ago I read an article on quantum mechanics that picked my interest. Since then I've made a study of quantum mechanics. My intuition on the substance of the law and the substance of space coincides with quantum reality. It connects with astrology. If you go so far this direction and so far that direction, and so far a third direction you come up with a mathematical equation. In a right triangle, the sum of the squares of the sides equals the square of the hypotenuse. Pythagoras was an astrologer. He said figures represent human characteristics; numbers are representative of things.

Subatomic particles are the characteristics of matter. In lab experiments, proving Bell's theorem, quantum physicists use the Pythagorean theorem. Under Bell's theorem, there are other dimensions than the space-time dimension. It used to be called matrix mechanics, standing for the matrix that goes to make up space, time-our physical reality-the same as the matrix that goes to make computer language. I'm speaking of a scientifically proven god convention doesn't buy. I buy it and my life is better for it. You could call it coincidence, but you don't experience my joy, my pain.

Karen and I traveled in our RV from April 1999 until April of 2001, when we dropped our landing gear in Shady Cove, Oregon. Karen got a part time job in our RV park's office. We remained living in our RV in the Shady Cove area until August 2007 and then moved to our present location in the tall timber 30 miles west of Mt. Hood, in Big Valley Woods near Sandy, Oregon. Why the location in the tall timber? Karen found it quite by accident.

Shortly after my first departure, by chance, I ran into an astrologer who created my astrological chart. I'd never believed in astrology, or ever thought about it. After being exposed, I found significant connections in the events of my life and the alignments of the planets. My life changed to fit the destiny my chart assigned to me.

From numerology, I've learned about the mid-life crises, when many of us make a drastic change in our lives. I was 47 when I had my bigger than life calling, 49 when I departed. Numerologists Faith Javane and Dusty Bunker, in Numerology and The Divine Triangle gave me the formula to to determine my "Life Lesson Number." Mine is the number 7. The Life Lesson Number 7 means "you are here to use and to develop your mind. Your words should be full of wisdom when you decide to talk. . . You should learn to spend time by yourself in the woods or by the seashore where you can get in touch with your inner self and your deepest thoughts because your destiny is to use your mind." Karen's discovery lined up with my bigger than life calling, when I made the unconscious choice of following my destiny and departed my old life. Now that I'm in the twilight of my life, in my contemplative years, according to the stars, I'm where I was meant to be.

I'm a disabled veteran of World War II. We'd been parked in our RV in Big Valley Woods three months when Karen said, "Joe, I hate to think about living in this trailer the rest of my life." Her statement must have been on the very day the decision at the Veteran's Administration was made to approve of my application for 100 percent disability. A week after Karen's utterance, we received notice in the mail. My disability meant we had the income to buy a manufactured home and place it in Big Valley Woods. Karen plays an essential roll in our action.

According to some quantum physicists, we are co-equals in creation. Based on what I'd been taught, I created a frustrating, dissatisfied life. Bell's theorem tells us objective reality is not the true reality of our lives. We each have different experiences, different destinies. The observer interacts with matter. A universe of unimaginable proportions exists within the mind of man. Once I became subjective, hidden powers emerged. My life took a turn for the better.

Millions of sightings of U.F.O.s should tell us they are real enough. For security purposes, the U.S. military has hidden all hard evidence. The U.S. has a policy of "need to know." Very few know the full truth about U.F.O.s and "extraterrestrial biological entities."

When he wanted to gut the U. S. Constitution, President Franklin D. Roosevelt said, "we have only fear itself to fear." Now we have confiscatory taxes. We are born in sin, you know-you and I. We crucified Jesus. We've been living on that guilt trip generation after generation. Taxes and our guilt trip saps our personal power. We are taught to fear eating the forbidden fruit of the Tree of Knowledge. We should fear the power of the gods. So, according to the Scriptures, I'm Satin.

How would we react if we knew there was extraterrestrial life on this planet a million years ahead of us in their technology? Indeed, is there not a need to know? There is abundant evidence that UFOs and EBEs are real. Can we trust our establishment leaders? I don't think so.

I'm Aquarius Rising, according to astrology. Rather than Satin, I'm the water-bearer to humanity. Noted astrologer and transactional analysis professional Jeanne Avery says our Rising Sign is that part of us we allow others to see. It tells others about our personality and how we act. So, Satin or the water-bearer? Let us take a look at this Aquarius Rising from Avery's perspective.

"The person with Aquarius on the rise can be very avant-garde. He is a forerunner in setting style, discovering new methods, and showing the rest of humanity the way. He may be especially enlightened, metaphysical, scientific, and inventive. He can be like a rolling stone, gathering no moss. He is a chance-taker. He is willing to let go of the trunk of the tree to walk out on the edge of a limb. He knows where the fruit grows and where the spotlight can hit. He is not one to hide his light under a bushel. The need for constant variety and freedom can bring fascinating experiences into his life, yet he can be unpredictable in the extreme. His life will never be boring, as there are always exciting new experiences and discoveries for him to investigate."

To sum my experiences up, following my 49^th year of life, given a new lease on life at sea-along with the inexplicable-I have this sea experience to connect with astrology, numerology, and quantum physics. I'm living my destiny, according to the stars, and now in the Gaia Community. Hope this helps you find your hidden selves.

You must first hold a thought before you can communicate. First, where do you hold your thoughts? It is thought that you store them in your brain, that you can't think beyond what you have inside your skull. There is yet not a particle of evidence that this is so. You are more than flesh and bones. The thought that you are limited is because of a branch of philosophy-epistemology-that investigates the origin, nature, and methods of everything, and limits human knowledge.  The establishment is compartmentalized so we can be brainwashed.

In order to reduce an incomprehensible universe to the comprehensible, we humans invented language, which limits us.  We can't think and know the infinite and everlasting because we are lacking the language to express it. We've a word for it: supernatural---above and beyond what is natural and explainable, the biggest con of all times.

John 1:1: In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God, describing the deity of Jesus Christ-the supernatural. The word logos defines the Christian's divine word or reason incarnate in Jesus. In ancient Greek philosophy, logos defined the rational principle that governs and develops the universe-two different thoughts on the same word. Where's the logic?

Bell's theorem adds a new dimension of understanding we do not yet have thoughts or words to express. Science has now discovered faster than light speed in communicating subatomic particles, the basic building blocks of the universe. Everything we think is about to be replaced.

One of our words-phenomenology-the study of everything, is about to take a great leap forward. We had an age of enlightenment after Galileo proved the earth and other planets orbit the sun. Before the age of enlightenment, it was forbidden in the West to think anything the Pope didn't think. We are now entering a second age of enlightenment, when the limit of what we know is totally removed, when thoughts are allowed to exist in a state without boundary, when the self within us is seen as infinite and everlasting, when the spiritual part of us will overcome our preoccupation with the material, when the universe is seen as more than the sum of its parts, when there is no limit of our awareness.

When consciousness is seen as fundamental to all that exists, the ages of authoritarianism will come to an end. (Gen. 1:26) "Let us make man in our image, after our likeness; and let them have dominion!"

We've got the one-day-at-a-timers, the poor mes, the doomsayers, those who take the path of least resistence, and my friends at Gaia. Either I'm learning to simplify extremely abstruse theories, or my readers are getting up to speed, or perhaps some of both. The comments I'm getting from my Gaia friends are gratifying, and comforting. It is more than coincidental that we've come together. Being as we dig each other, I've this to report.

My thoughts today were stimulated by a newspaper story I read entitled "Tax break for the wealthiest." The reporter talked with a couple of Oregon bureaucrats who were crying in their beer about lack of funding. They blamed it on the rich "who don't need the money." That's the easiest thing to think, and also mindless political talk. This newspaper story deserves a lot more thought. There is nothing morally wrong with striving to be financially successful. The moral wrong is in government favoring some at the expense of others. We note that the rich are getting richer and the poor poorer, while essential services are without funding. There is a reason.

Today, my sermon is one you will never get from religious or secular authorities, keeping in mind that I don't claim to be an authority. I'm a committee of one looking out for me. So, take the following thoughts for what they are worth to you.

"And God said," in Chapter 1 of the Book of Genesis, "Let us make man in our image." This statement sets the theme for the book of man. The Bible does not say that man is disobedient to God's will, or that we are born in sin. It's an interpretation of authorities for less than honest purposes. America's most popular Bible, The Scofield Reference Bible, bears me out. Wrote Scofield in his Introduction: "The saying that ‘anything may be proved by the Bible' is both true and false-true if isolated passages are used; utterly false if the whole divine revelation is in view. . . .The Dispensations are distinguished, exhibiting the majestic, progressive order of the divine dealings of God with humanity, ‘the increasing purpose' which runs through and links together the ages, from the beginning of the life of man to the end in eternity."

The increasing complexity of life gives us increasing purpose, requiring a much broader outlook than the authorities take. By listening to authorities, we are living in the past. If we're to change the world, first we must realize our image is not objective. We are all subjective. We have minds of our own, which requires a balance of power the authorities never ever willingly give us. It is a constant battle.

There came a time in America when the people's image of themselves was weak. The economy went into the tank. A third of America's workforce was jobless. The fight for independence was replaced, thanks to Franklin D. Roosevelt. Roosevelt took office in 1933, at a time when America was looking to Washington for answers. Roosevelt, America's savior, was thinking subjectively when he told the nation, "While it isn't written in the Constitution, nevertheless, it is the inherent duty of the Federal Government to keep its citizens from starvation."

After America's savior and the liberal Democrats had threatened to double the number of justices on the bench with their activists, so their individual grants in aid, later known as entitlements, would pass constitutional muster, Roosevelt proclaimed: "The balance of power between the three great branches of the Federal Government has been tipped out of balance by the courts in direct contradiction of the high purposes of the framers of the Constitution. We have reached the point where we must take action to save the Constitution from the Court." And what was the action? Activist Justice Brandeis, a Roosevelt appointee, was heard to say, "property is only a means. It has been a frequent error of our Court that they have made the means the end." A weak willed people allowed subjective politicians to create our image. Republicans, seeing that's what the American people wanted, joined with Democrats. Consequently, we live in a hothouse with subjective authorities pulling levers and twisting valves. Washington, with the biggest redistribution of resources ever in history, is not that loved by the world at large. It's now payback time and guess who is paying the price for Roosevelt's folly?

To wit: In the spring of 1975, I set out on a serendipitous journey to find a more complete answer for my life. My plan was to buy a live-aboard sailboat and sail the South Atlantic Ocean for a couple of years. My business career of 25 years had been replaced, like the mom and pop grocery store. Government played a role in that change. My marriage was on the rocks. Since property has become the means for subjective authorities to make the means their end-we look to Washington for our answers-by no coincidence the divorce rate has gone up to more than 50 percent. The sacred institution of marriage is under serious question. But back to my story.

At age 49, I was going to start over. It was without the blessings of family and establishment. I left my Texas home and drove to Miami, Florida, arriving on Easter Sunday. By mutual agreement, my then wife was to mail me a check for the sale of some stock I owned prior to our marriage. My plan was to look for a job while I waited for my land, by mutual agreement, to sell. On my third phone call, I landed a job in a boatyard at near minimum wages, and a good thing. My then wife did not send the check for the sale of the stock. She forged my name and cashed the check. When I received my first paycheck, my gas gauge was on empty. I knew first hand what hundreds of millions know every day of their lives. I went hungry. I had no money to buy food.

My then wife was to have signed a joint federal income tax return and send a check for the tax we owed. Instead, she filed a separate tax return, paid half of the tax, and sent the joint return in with only my name on it, minus a check. She did that on the advice of the IRS.

I'd written the attorney general of the United States that the income tax was unconstitutional. What a reaction! An IRS agent called me a "Fifth Amendment freak." The IRS billed me for the full tax. They did not take into consideration that my then wife paid half of the tax we owed. I had filed a claim for carryback losses. I had a tax refund of four times as much as the tax the IRS claimed I owed coming to me, and I was without food. Instead of sending me the difference, the IRS lawlessly froze the refund. I'd filed a petition to the U.S. Tax Court. The IRS' lawless deal: if I'd withdraw my petition they would send the balance of my refund.

I worked the night shift at the boatyard. I arrived at my one room apartment after midnight to find that the lock had been changed. I went across the street and called the police on a payphone. The police got the new key from my landlord. My landlord had failed to go through the legal procedure for evicting me. For two hours, though, I was homeless. What if I'd not known to call the police? Do you ever wonder if U. S. citizens live on the street because their take-home pay will not buy a roof over their heads or food? Uncle Sam's income tax leaves people helpless beggars.

Two days after I was locked out, my lawyer called to say that my then wife had repudiated our property settlement agreement on the ground that I used duress to force her to sign the agreement.

I returned to Flower Mound, Texas and got a court order that forced my then wife to pay my expenses while I awaited the trial. At the trial, the court ordered that I receive all of the land and all of the improvements. The court ordered my then wife to vacate my property within 30 days.

Coincidentally, Charles D. Suit, an astrologer, shortly before my divorce trial, pointing to a symbol on my astrological chart, said it was one of the 36 Arabian points called a part of fortune. "Then in a similar sense," said Suit, "the Venus and Jupiter indicates a fortunate area of your chart. Planets that interrelate to it along the bottom line of this triangle here, how in you can gain material things, primarily, it's right on your ascendent. It's in your 12^th house. This indicates a potential to gain from people who are secretly working against you."

Everything Suit told me came true. He made me a believer. The property settlement agreement my then wife signed gave her the home, the barn, and 5 acres of land-several times as much in value as I was to receive in land. My then wife told the court that she should be given everything because I had deserted my family and was planning to sail away. The court didn't see it my wife's way. Because I was unemployed, the court set the child support low.

In that my then wife was given custody of our son, I generously offered to let her keep the home and the 5 acres if she would pay me in cash for the land I was to get in the property settlement agreement. I did not want my child to suffer because of  the greed of his mother. She borrowed the money and paid me the market price on my land.

I passed the first test. I was soon on my way back to Florida to purchase my dreamboat. There was still the unconstitutional income tax question. The point of this account is to show how much government is involved in our private lives. Keeping in mind that it is not written in the Constitution that government has a "duty to keep us from starving," at a time when I needed a leg up, the government gave me the boot.

My tax case went to trial in the U. S. Tax Court. The IRS was forced to correct its "mistakes." The tax court does not have jurisdiction on constitutional questions. As soon as the case was closed, the IRS illegally grabbed $2,500. The IRS is permitted to make limitless mistakes. For a second time, I took the IRS to court, this time in the U.S. District Court. The court ordered the IRS to refund the money it lawlessly snatched. Being permitted to make limitless mistakes, after that case was closed the IRS went to my bank and took every cent I had in my checking account-my grocery money and rent money. The Court, according to a Roosevelt appointee: "Property is only a means." What's the difference in tax slavery and black slavery? Uncle Sam, by hook and crook, owns everything in tax a body can produce.

Give the IRS enough rope and they hang themselves. I went to the Palm Beach Post. They printed a front page story, the IRS admitting that for 11 years they had been mistaken on the amount of tax I owed. Clearly, the United States is lawless. While leaving the tax collector free to make unlimited mistakes against taxpayers, Washington conveniently entitles others. How many are living on the street because of it?

The all-powerful United States has cards up its sleeve. When you think about the news media, think about how few the number of people there are in control of the news, and how rich and powerful they are. Five oil companies are being allowed to wreck the American economy. The world's only superpower is the world's biggest fraud. It goes with the territory.

The Bible tells us to make man in our image. Don't count on the authorities to help any. We, the people, are the economy. Federal income tax and the IRS should be abolished. Federal entitlements should be phased out. Based on help for the economy, a new taxing and spending system placing the individual and his resources first should be established.

.

I entered "FDR and Liberal Democrats" in Gaia's search, and found my blog, "Let Us Make Man II," and one other blog: "Why Democrats Should Become More Libertarian," which prompted me to write today's blog.

I believe the majority of the American people share my belief. We are not of common mind that strong central government and dependence is the way to go. I believe most Americans think it is possible for ordinary folks to start poor and end rich. As an ordinary American, I think most folks fear big government and oppression.

Franklin D. Roosevelt and the Liberal Democrats gutted the Constitution. During hard times, the American people felt it was necessary. The nation has been moving more and more toward big government and less personal responsibility ever since the change political activists foisted off on the American people. (Activists interpret the Constitution "in light of today's needs," of course as they see it. It's a con game.)

I'm reminded of an email I received from a Ugandan who said he wanted to be my grand son. Why? He wrote that he is helping needy Ugandan children. Uganda doesn't have a prosperous economy, nor the ingenuity, nor the capital America has. Yet Ugandans are people with the same basic essentials to cope as Americans. It amazes me to see people on the street in America begging for a handout. What possesses these people? They are totally devoid of logic. How does it help them to hand them money? Who ought to do something about it?

The Liberal Democratic ideology is to tax the rich and give to the poor. Several years back, the United States gave starving Indians shiploads of surplus U.S. grain. It enabled them to produce millions more hungry babies. The give-away only succeeded in worsening India's problem.

Liberal Democrats, who came into power with the Great Depression,  have worsened America's problem. World War II brought an end to America's Great Depression. Factories cranked up to build tanks, airplanes, ships, and guns. Everyone had a job. It was all on borrowed money. There is a great difference in borrowing to give handouts and borrowing to help the economy. I returned from World War II to boom times. FDR and the liberal Democrats did not end the Great Depression. Instead of assuring jobs for everyone, they created government entitlements, robbing Peter to pay Paul. They do not understand a free enterprise economy. They think of freedom as being free as birds. Liberal Democrats do not know personal responsibility and self reliance. They think in terms of social responsibility. They believe the rich and greedy take from the poor and needy. Wrong! Government is our servant, not our provider. The idea of mixing government entitlements with free enterprise is like mixing oil with water. Liberal Democrats don't go on common sense. They live in mindless La La Land. Their goals come from the heart. They are killing the goose that laid the golden egg

America's free enterprise economy is the source of America's wealth. America's ingenuity made the American people prosperous. The American people's resourcefulness created the capital with which the economy grew. Under liberal Democratic philosophy, the United States is borrowing against capital with printing press money in order to hand out money to millions of individuals. And, unfortunately, me-too Republicans are no better than the Democrats. I would not vote for either. Mindless, vote pandering politicians handed my wife and I $600 to help the economy. What's the difference in the wage earner spending the money he earns and the government entitled spending the money? It has a negative effect on the economy to hand out money. Money is worthless paper we are entitled to use to purchase goods and services. For no one's benefit, other than self-serving, power-seeking politicians, free printing press money is driving the nation deeper and deeper into debt.

The Republicans say that cutting tax helps the economy. Common sense tells us better. Without equal cuts in spending, tax cuts hurt the economy. We are not going deeper and deeper into debt to create jobs, folks, at the same time giving more and more grants in aid to individuals. It's insane.

More or less the same thinking caused the Great Depression. If you were to read the facts of what caused the Great Depression, you would find that America's self-serving powers that be ordered it. In so doing, they ordered the rise of Hitler. They ordered World War II. Drunk with their power-with no common sense-they have succeeded in destroying the balance of power the U.S. Constitution gave us. FDR and the Liberal Democrats replaced inalienable rights with a federal dictatorship. This heartfelt folly has to end, and it always does with loss of individual independence.

The immature American people are entering a new age. Nothing they have been thought in the past will work for them in the future. We need to know how it all comes together-in the latest scientific terms. Get over the idea that there is place called Heaven. There is no Almighty out there-no one out there looking out for you! A new image is in the works. To mature, we must feel that we are on our own, feel that we each have a God-self. Everyone is subjective. If we but look within, the right answers are there. Life doesn't get any better for me. If it works for me, it can work for you.

At the same time that you insist on your child's obedience, you teach your child personal responsibility and self-reliance. Otherwise, you will likely find your child a personally irresponsible adult. What has government done for you in this respect?

Raising children is a full time job. You can expect your child to react badly to lack of proper supervision. What do you know about outside supervision? Is your child getting the individual attention he or she needs? Whose interest comes first, your child or the supervision's personal interest. Small children act aggressively because it works. They don't like taking orders. They need lots of individual attention. You could not pay enough to give your child the attention he or she should have. Yet federal income tax is so high that it takes two or more income earners in an average American family to provide a decent existence. Parents get no transportation to the job deduction, nor for other job incurred expenses. The payoff for federal income tax is personal irresponsibility. What could be worse for a society?

Millions of entry level workers struggling to get a foothold are taxed on their meager incomes. What could be worse? Federal income tax started as a tax on the very rich. During World War II, a federal withholding tax was imposed on working people, called the Victory Tax. This is not what I fought for. During the Great Depression, FDR and the liberal Democrats changed the Constitution to allow for it. As it turns out, nothing could have been more unfair and costly to the American people's freedom. The politicians currently running for office don't mention it, but instead of personal responsibility and self reliance, the masses look to the federal government for their answers.

Thanks to federal income tax, the least of the American people are left as hopeless dependents. I feel sorry for today's parents. They've got an uphill battle.

Republican presidential candidate John McCain, in a press interview, called for taking care of "those in America who cannot take care of themselves." He did not elaborate. He left much unsaid. 

McCain is not always willing to use the power of the federal government to impose conservative values, he said. What does he mean? Is it conservative to want American money to take care of American citizens? From what has been publically argued,  I assume that American politicians want America to be an international haven for those in the world who can't take care of themselves because of oppressive governments. That would include those in America who can't take care of themselves due to excessive taxation; in other words, oppressive government.

Presidential candidate McCain, in his press interview, spoke of "free market purists." He didn't elaborate, but he made known that he doesn't always support them. I take it that he does not always support a free market.

McCain said he would hesitate to unleash American military power for moral reasons. He didn't elaborate. Is it immoral to use the military to protect America's interests first, last, and always; within America's borders?

McCain admits that we're in a situation today where all comments "are diagnosed and looked at for whatever effect they might have. We have to feed the beast, the hourly cable shows, the instant news in the blogs, and all that," says McCain. The presidential candidates are not speaking to you and I. If they had a mind of their own, you would not know it from what they say.

What you see now is what you are going to get in the future from government. That's why I say look within for your answers.   Humpty Dumpty had a great fall, you know, and all the king's horses, and all the king's men could not put Humpty Dumpty back together again.

My post on May 1, 2007, "The Zaadz Secret," got more than a thousand hits. My post on July 12, 2008, "To the Dumbed Down," which was on the subject of child obedience, got 12 hits. Surely, my readers don't want to find that out; that my message might apply to them; that they don't want to be told. Tell me that is not so.

I'm stating my philosophy based on my experience and what I see taking place.  As a matter of fact, my experience goes back to a time when the divorce rate in America was 3 percent and moms didn't work.  There was a reason.  We've seemed to forget over the years. Our values have changed.  

When I was a boy, my father earned an above average living. He paid no Social Security tax, no income tax, and my grand parents on my mother's side lived with us. My father's earnings took care of 7 immediate family members, and this included financial help to my widowed aunt and her two kids. When I was a boy, families depended on families. It was out of the question that government ought to take the place of the family.

My father told me that when he was a boy the federal government was never mentioned. Only once in his early life did a U.S. Congressmen make a local appearance. Now the federal government is like the head of the house was when I was a boy. And, pathetically, our next president can't speak his mind.  What a difference!  My father laid the law down.

In my July 13, 2008 post, "To the Dumbed Down II," I wrote: "McCain admits that we're in a situation today where all comments "are diagnosed and looked at for whatever effect they might have. We have to feed the beast, the hourly cable shows, the instant news in the blogs, and all that," says McCain. The presidential candidates are not speaking to you and I. If they had a mind of their own, you would not know it from what they say. The candidates are speaking to the news media and bloggers in terms they hope will win them a favorable review.

In "The Zaadz Secret," I wrote this: "I've learned here that we can retain our individual beliefs and still have much in common with the other members, from all around the world. . . When the family was the cornerstone of American life, we grew up and became personally responsible, self-sufficient, innovative individuals. With big government, big business, and media hawkers in control, optimization the controlling factor, we are made to feel immature and in need of external control. We're in a new age, folks. Innovation is taking over the world. One can be king of the mountain today and at the bottom of the heap tomorrow. You better know this and be inwardly secure. My friends, you are on your own in the emerging world, co-equal in the creation of our future."

The bottom line: If we of the Gaia Community are to avoid being the dumbed down masses, if we're to change the world, we've got to quit speaking platitudes and find out what is on our minds, and there is but one way: speak our minds.

A lot of my Gaia friends are interested in the remaking of man. The universe, we can say to avoid argument, made humans capable of coping by reason-by intelligence. It empowers me to make the right determination for me. The Bible tells us to make ourselves in our image. Morals come from how one sees himself-as good or bad. It is by another's judgement only if we allow it, only if we're dumbed down.

How do we avoid being made a sucker? Judging from my experience, if we all looked within for answers we could live together in peace and harmony. But don't take it from me. Take your own experience. Could your life be better? If it could, have you tried looking within for your answers?

When I was 49, I took a realistic look at my accomplishments. They had not brought me happiness. I decided to start over, but how? I looked within for my answers. An amazing thing happened. When everything should have gone wrong for me, according to the authorities, everything started going right. I proved authorities wrong. I became captain of my ship.

There is a rule called Murphy's Law. If anything can go wrong, it will. This reminds me of my audio tape from James Redfield, the author of The Celestine Prophecy, a story of corrupt authority and looking within for your answers.

Redfield told me in his tape, "We all start at immature levels of ego functions. We have a sense of security based on how much we feel in charge of our lives. We want to keep the idea that things are going fine. We have goals we want to achieve. We need to manipulate things to keep everything just right. We need to keep this allusion for security purposes. If new information comes in, we can act defensively. We don't want information that rocks the boat."

The immature want to be like everyone. It often comes out as wanting everyone to be like me. Many of us never leave this mode, including authorities. Many are externally influenced to do the worst for themselves. They are duck soup for authority. What would authority do without them?

Give authority enough rope and authority will hang itself. Said Redfield in his tape, "What happens is that this allusion, based on security control, has to shift to our inner connection, our God-self force that gives us a sense of well being no matter what's going on out there. We have to make that opening on the inside."

It was long after I made my decision on my own to cut my umbilical cord with my past that Redfield said, "As you get in touch with your inner energy and start to get in touch with your higher self, you will be guided into how to find that true work expression. It will be shown to you intuitively. This becomes the way you uplift everyone who comes into your life. When you evolve into your higher self you energize those who cross your path. This becomes your greatest talent." When everything, according to authority, should go wrong, according to me, according to Redfield, everything starts going right. Redfield and I are on the same wave length.

One of my favorite movies, for the moral it leaves, is Legend of the Fall. It begins with a frontier colonel resigning after Custer's Last Stand. He hated government for what it did to native Americans. The colonel bought a ranch in Montana and raised three sons. The youngest was naive. His folly got him killed. The middle son could not be tamed. He was strongly influenced by a native American ranch hand. The eldest, one of those holier than thou people, blinded by his ego, became a U. S. Congressman. Everybody loved the middle son. Is it any wonder that love never came the eldest son's way? The eldest finally saw the error in his ways. In the end, justice was done against the corrupt establishment.

It appears to me that a lot of people are on my wave length. Another of my favorite movies is Titanic. Titanic, the biggest and grandest ship afloat, attracted the wealth of the world. But she was primarily built for profit, to provide passage for thousands of immigrants to the land of opportunity, the United States of America.

Titanic is a story of exploitation, profiting on the meek with self-serving intentions. Underneath the external grandeur was authority's dishonest intentions. On her maiden voyage from England to America, the publicity agent aboard wanted the captain to set a record for the fastest crossing ever. The sea was flat. The night was moonless. Icebergs were reported on the course the ship was taking. At the speed this great ship was traveling, it would be impossible to see an iceberg in time to avoid a collision.

The propellers were thrown in reverse. The wheel was as far over as it would go. Slowly the ship began to turn, but not enough to avoid sideswiping an iceberg. The ship was supposed to be unsinkable. It had compartments that could be sealed remotely by large doors. The iceberg split open the ship far enough back that the entering sea lowered the bow enough for the water to rise above the forward sealed compartments. The bow went down and the ship split open in the middle, the bow dragging the aft down with it.

There were half enough lifeboats for passengers and crew. The crew locked the immigrants below in order that the wealthy might board the lifeboats. The lifeboats were lowed with plenty of space for more people. After the ship went down, with the lifeboats standing by half empty, hundreds of people were left to die in the icy water. More than 1,500 people perished.

This graphic portrayal of might is an eye-opener. Power is a drive; it doesn't require intelligence. Are we Americans going down on a sinking ship?

Since man ate the forbidden fruit and learned about good and evil, we got us a Bible, the moral story of man. The story gives us a heavenly authority representing good and a devil below representing evil, which we can take as literal or as a manner of speaking, but the reality is the same. We've got a moral problem in America.

What makes my morals better than your's? This happens to be the view of the U. S. Supreme Court. Justice Black made this statement on TV. I heard him say, "The Constitution is what we say it is." A female genitalia is looked upon by the Court as freedom of speech. I never saw one speak. My reason tells me that when it is used for exploitation, it can be for evil.

In my view, morals are based on behavior that is best for us and behavior that is not good for us, like slavery, which the Tanney Court sanctioned. Why is external authority passing laws that deprive us of our internal power, our sense of reason? Reason, by the way, is fundamental to the law. The U.S. Supreme Court is out of touch, and always has been tacitly against the law, the U. S. Constitution.

While it is true that what is good for me may be bad to you, as long as I don't do to you what I would not have you do to me, we're on a level playing field. I'm not my brother's keeper no matter what.  I don't owe anyone for what others might have done. Equal rights means my rights "are not capable of being surrendered or transferred without the consent of the one possessing such rights. Morrision v. State. Why do we need external authority to determine who is entitled and who is not? It seems to me that external authority is determined that we do not look within for our answers.

With external authority, it is might makes right. However, In Legend of the Fall, in Titanic, in The Celestine Prophecy, in the story of my life, might makes wrong.

For the past seven years, I've been thinking and writing for publication my thoughts. They have been read by thousands. It is most encouraging. It amazes me what exercising the mind can do, how one's conscious awareness is expanded.

Coincidentally, my mind adventure fits with what numerologists Javane and Bunker write in Numerology and The Divine Triangle for my Life Lesson. "You are here to use and to develop your mind. Your words should be full of wisdom when you decide to talk."

Pointing to my favorable alignment of Saturn with Pluto, Sakioan and Acker in The Astrologer's Handbook, under "Saturn trine Pluto" say, "This trine gives the natives the ability to understand the laws by which subtle forces are organized, enabling them to use these laws consciously or unconsciously. It favors those who work in such fields as physics. . ." I dig the latest discoveries of quantum physics.

Jeanne Avery, in The Rising Sign, under "Aquarius Rising," speaking to me, said, "The person with Aquarius on the rise can be very avant-garde. He is a forerunner in setting style."

Thus, keeping in mind my favorable alignment with Saturn and Pluto, and that I'm a forerunner in setting style, Richard Tarnas, distinguished philosopher and cultural historian, author of Cosmos and Psyche, wrote that 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."

Exactly! What comes around goes around, but what comes after the three-to-four year cycle we are entering now? As far as I'm concerned, there is too much that connects to call it mere coincidence. In my view, like it or not, everything we think we know now is going to be replaced. Are you prepared?

In today's news, we learn that stock markets all over the world are going down. California's largest thrift bank failed. There is fear of bank runs. The dollar is setting new lows. The price of oil went up today. Iran is beating the war drums. Have a nice day!

In November 2008, Saturn and Pluto will be in unfavorable alignment. Distinguished philosopher and cultural historian Richard Tarnas spent 30 years studying the archetypal patterns of human history and the alignments of the outer planets. He found a consistency. He predicts that for the next 3 to 4 years we should expect turmoil in the world.

Medical doctor and quantum physicist Evan Harris Walker tells the story of elementary particles-how they answer questions of what consciousness is. He maintains that Bell's theorem shows that we, as observers, play a major role in the structure of the universe-"we have discovered that every path we have taken to learn something of the structure of the universe comes around to the same result. Whether to understand the interconnection of will, to understand the most basic facts in quantum theory, or to discover the beginning of the Big Bang universe, each path leads to the fact that there must exist a supreme Consciousness out of which everything springs."

Think about the world today compared to the world 5,000 years ago-how little we knew about our reality. We are born in the space-time consortium, but there is a dimension of infinite possibility waiting to be observed. Our observation as individuals, as societies, creates our reality. Isn't it interesting that the outer planets' alignments and the archetypal patterns of human history coincide? Like I've been reporting, everything you think you know is going to be replaced.

I was born a Virgo with Aquarius rising. Prophet of the future H. G. Wells was Virgo with Aquarius rising. In astrological terms, the sun rose on me at the place where I was born to make the part I allow others to see Aquarius. I was born at a time in history when great changes would occur. I was placed before you as a messenger.

What does the future hold for you world changers? You have no idea of your power potential. If you believe what the authorities are telling you today, you will be left in a cloud of dust. If you believe in yourselves and the stars, you will lead the world to peace and harmony.

In a conversation with my new neighbor, I mentioned that I enjoy the UFO stories on the History Channel. Her eyes changed, as though she was in a trance. I was then informed that she used to live on Mt. Palomar, where the big telescope is. She had gone to check on her cattle a few minutes from home. She saw lights in the sky nearby. They couldn't be from a helicopter. There was no noise. The lights were colors-red, blue, yellow. She didn't know what they were, but when she returned to her home, it was 3-1/2 hours later. She couldn't have been gone more than 15 or 20 minutes, said she. She doesn't know what took place and doesn't want to know. But she knows something mysterious took place.

UFO researchers estimate that more than 3 million alien abductions have taken place. Millions have seen UFOs. There is much evidence of livestock being butchered in fields, body parts removed and not a drop of blood. It is thought the parts were removed by laser. UFOs are being sighted in the areas where the mutilations occur.

The United States has a policy, regarding UFOs, of the need to know. Even the president is not thought to need to know everything. Who makes the decisions? I presume the one's who know it all. We, the people, are told it is a matter of national security. It is for the security of the authorities in control. If the technology of advanced beings is available, it should be for everyone's benefit. The authorities in control are making deals with EBEs (extraterrestrials), something for something, and we, the people are paying a price. As long as EBEs can use this world's authorities to their advantage, they can do their thing with impunity, it is better than creating havoc by revealing their presence to the general public.

My neighbor doesn't want to know what happened. I didn't ask her why. There is much evidence pointing to extraterrestrials being here thousands of years. If they had intended on taking over our world, they would have done it long ago. If it were known that extraterrestrials were here in large numbers, and abducting us, some people would think the end of the world was near. Others would look at EBEs as angels. Still others would deny they are real. But for sure, everything we thought we knew would be wrong. I've been writing that this is going to happen; that those who refuse to face the new reality are going to be left in a cloud of dust.

When the time is right, when it is no longer to their advantage to hide their presence, the extraterrestrials will reveal their presence to the masses. I look forward to the time when people start looking within for their answers, when they become fully aware that the state of mind is without boundary.

A reminder that my astrological makeup has me the water-bearer to humanity. As it were, through government entitlements a paid consultant to we, the people, I dare say it wasn't planned that way. I'm supposed to be a government dependant.

Furthermore, what I know and impart here did not come to me from the blue, nor has "God" revealed what I know. It is as it should be. My nature led me to what I know. I'm what we call a nonconformist, a person who refuses to conform to established customs, in the old days, a protestant. But who says I must conform to any religion?

When one is comatose, where is he? The only thing that remains of him is living, breathing flesh. A hive insect doesn't have a mind of its own. An out of body consciousness drives the hive insect to do specific tasks for the sake of all of its kind. A conscious human being has a mind of his own separate from his body. We don't think about breathing. I AM THAT I AM.

I'm intrigued by the latest scientific findings; that is, ideas that cannot be proven by the usual means. It takes a mind to know a mind. The mind does not reside in a place. It has no dimensions, no weight. We don't think breathing. The mind, separate from the physical body but very much a part of nature, our mind is our immaterial essence, our actuating cause of life. Utimately, the mind can't be separated. Everything, ultimately, is in one mold.

I can't say it any better than quantum physicist Evan Harris Walker in The Physics of Consciousness, in Chapter 18, "A God for Tomorrow." As Dr. Walker points out (he was also a brain doctor), "man has traveled a long way in the search to understand reality. Beginning with the myths and superstitions of antiquity," says Dr. Walker, triying to open new doors to understanding. His colleagues say he tried to smuggle God into physics, because classical physicists try to compartmentalize science, in my view, allowing religion to get away with creating false gods. A god we could all believe in, as Dr. Walker defines God, is a supreme Consciousness of the universe.

Dr. Walker recently passed a way, so I'll speak for him. What if we all believed that our advanced life started from elemental particles which exist in a state of infinite possibility. This universe is growing more vast than anyone ever dreamed. Is there any end of it? At the same time, this universe is growing smaller and smaller. Is there any end of it? We exist in a state of consciousness, without beginning, without end. There is nothing supernatural about it. The only image of God is man. As the Bible tells us, let us make man in our image. You don't need to be a quantum physicist to understand that.

Beauty is not for its own sake. A hive insect is attracted to a flower for its life-giving property. I'm attracted by the beauty a flower. What would my life be without beauty, a quality in me that brings pleasure? My life also has the quality of mental suffering. How much joy in my life, how much suffering I experience is up to me. Human consciousness is the most in consciousness this world knows.

Taking what antiquity has handed to the present age, consciously or unconsciously, from my experience and openness to new ideas I can tell you that understanding who we are opens the door to a world we never dreamed. We've been through age after age of authoritarianism. Will we make the quantum leap toward the beings we were intended to be in this generation-with galactic consciousness? Earthly authority would lose its hold on us. There would be no misplaced fear. We'd be on the same level with the EBEs. There would be no advantage in confining themselves to the authorities.

We're not all mathematicians. I take Dr. Walker's word. He wrote, "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 this new-found reality that defines the observer, has fundamental existence. It is the quantum mind that is the basic reality." We must look within to determine our individual reality.

Since the dawn of history, the masses have been behavioristic; that is, observed to be subject to being led down a garden path by medicine men, shamans, priests and princes, and more lately, politicians. Never yet have we, the people been led by our own observations. Throughout history, might has been right. The meek have not yet inherited the earth. It's against the higher law of nature. Quantum physics claims that we observe a dimension of infinite possibility and that becomes our reality.

Going back, in Time-Life's Time Frame AD 1500-1600, The European Emergence, The Church Divided, The Conquest of the New World, Elizabeth's England, Russia's Ruthless Czar, The Ottoman Zenith, The Moguls Ascendant, this revealing book begins with, "On foot and on horseback, a steady stream of peasants and villagers crowded the rutted roads into the small German town of Juterbog. They Appeared to be going to market, and it was true that they had scented a bargain. But it was not livestock or farm produce that they were coming to buy. The celebrated Dominican preacher Johann Tetzel had set up in the marketplace a rostrum surmounted by a great cross decorated with the arms of Pope Leo X; Tetzel's credentials, a document of authorization from the pontiff himself, lay on a gold-embroidered cushion. And beside the rostrum, a representative of the Augsburg banking house of Fugger superintended the chest into which the credulous would be invited to deposit their florins."

"‘As soon as the coin in the coffer rings, the soul from purgatory springs,'" ran the catch phrase attributed to Tetzel. His sermons employed a harsher rhetoric: ‘How many mortal sins are committed in a day, how many in a week, how many in a year, how many in a whole lifetime? They are all but infinite and they have to undergo an infinite penalty in the flaming punishment of purgatory. Yet in virtue of these confessional letters, you shall be able to gain, once in a life, full pardon of these penalties.'"

I cannot say why we fall for this kind of nonsense. I weigh what people tell me and ask myself: Is this better for the person trying to sell me than it is for me? It saves lots of money for the things I need.

I had no choice but to pay for government entitlements when my needs exceeded the needs of those entitled. Now I'm entitled. When you are in Rome you do as the Romans do, but we know what happened to Rome. Attila, the Hun, and his kind took over and ruled Rome.

Cultural historian Richard Tarnas claims such disruptions as the fall of Rome happen every time Saturn and Pluto are in unfavorable aspect. Interestingly, in November 2008, when the next president of the United States is elected Saturn and Pluto go into unfavorable aspect.

But getting back to what was known as indulgences, the money paid for the forgiveness letters would , Tetzel promised, instantly remit punishment due for sins committed, or to be committed in the future. And this applied not only to the subscriber but also to his dead relatives. Such a deal! The people paid as though Tetzel and the Holy Catholic Church were God himself.

"Among Tetzel's audience on that day in April 1517 was Martin Luther, a thirty-three year-old lecturer in biblical studies from the nearby University of Wittenberg. During the course of his training, Luther had become convinced that the sale of indulgences had no basis in the teaching of Christ. Six months after hearing Tetzel, Luther's anger was to burst forth in a letter of protest, addressed to his archbishop, in which he set out ninety-five theses directed against the concept of indulgences. . ."

So, we see, Luther was a nonconformist, just like me, who questioned what other folks claim. Here this! Pope Leo had authorized Luther's archbishop to keep half of the proceeds of the indulgences. The archbishop was in debt to the banking house of Fugger. He had borrowed the money to pay Leo for dispensation allowing him to hold three bishoprics at once. At the bottom of it was greed and a mindless drive for power.

Frederick, the head of one of the largest states within the Holy Roman Empire held conventional religious views. He was persuaded by his chaplain, a close friend of Luther, to give Luther shelter from the wrath of the Holy Catholic Church's officialdom. As it happened, Maximilian I, the Holy Roman emperor, died in 1519. Fredrick's status went up. The pope was reluctant to antagonize Frederick. When Charles V was elected emperor, Luther was condemned, but too late. With Frederick's help, Luther's books transformed him from an obscure religious teacher into a national celebrity. The educated clergy and the wealthy in Germany had much to gain by reform. Lutherism gained strength. After Fredrick's death his successors supported Luther.

With the glory of the Roman Catholic Church diminished, along came Galileo and the earth changed from the center of the universe to another planet in our solar system. The universe continues to expand, but not only expand, it gets smaller and smaller. It depends on one's position. I'm finding the microcosmic to be vastly more revealing than the macrocosmic.

History's account of mankind is overdue a new chapter. We've been sidetracked by materialism. We're now at the threshold of an evolutionary leap forward, the masses afraid to take the plunge. The things we worship are not giving us answers. A change is being forced upon us at a time when new scientific understanding of the world of the very small brings us proof that we are more than flesh and bones.

The individual is due to become subjective, to place himself first. In the development of quantum theory, the individual interacts with matter. The observer becomes co-equal in the creation. The mind, the immaterial essence and actuating cause of life, a basic reality of the universe, each of us is here in physical form with a different purpose. It's written in the stars.

It has taken 600 years-since Luther nailed his 95 thesis on the church door-to come to the conclusion that there is no such thing as objective reality. What has come around though hundreds of generations of humans is not going around anymore. The ages of authoritarianism are at last coming to their rightful end. We invite you to join the new age movement, a move up in human evolution.

There is no question about it. Conservative radio talk shows and cable news are far more popular than liberal talk shows and broadcast television. We can expect, says cable news consultant Dick Morris, that if we elect Obama president the powers that be will force changes in management and ownership of cable news and radio. Broadcast television and newspapers are dominated by the liberal left and so will be all other sources of the news, with the exception of blogs like mine. Don't sell one on one communication short. It may be the only thing that saves your freedom to be you.

Assuming that 30 people, on an average, read each of my blogs (over 4,500 have read my profile), and assume that 2,000 people have read at least one of my blogs, what if as many as 10,000 members of the Gaia Community have as much or more than my influence?  Multiply that by a million to account for the trickle down effect, influence the powers that be can't control.   It is influence that helps empower the individual.

Lincoln's government of the people---people who don't trust themselves or anyone else; they demand that everyone do as they say, government for the people who want cradle to grave security handed to them on a silver platter, government of the people who demand to be independent and self-reliant, today's America is every bit as divided as she was in Lincoln's day.  Something is very wrong with America's lead. Let's see what it is.

Morris also points out in Fleeced that a President Obama would write a lot of checks to the middle class-give everyone a government check, thus assuring that the liberal agenda will never be repealed; taxpayers will be always in the minority.  President Obama is for big government and dependent subjects.

We don't have to dig for answers, says Morris. Obama is telling us what he would do. Indeed, and does anyone take seriously that we are born in sin? I don't think so. Does anyone take seriously what Obama says? He has nice teeth and a pleasant smile. McCain looks like he's smirking. We're bewitched by Obama's mild, friendly mannerism, elated that at last we are willing to allow a black to be president-pure idealism. We refuse to see Obama as the most liberal senator in Washington. A leopard doesn't change its spots.

In a national poll on what Americans worry about, 35 percent said the economy. Only 2 percent worry about terrorism. Unbelievable! If elected president, Obama says he would gut the Patriot Act. It's against the civil rights of minorities liberals have fought hard to win.

Just as surely as those religions founded by Abraham sidetrack our native intelligence; they go on faith alone, does the liberal agenda with its ideological dreams. In both instances, it is a dangerous game we play. So, is it really "there but for the grace of God go I?" Are we really meant to be "all heart.?"  We are created with reason and logic. That's the only thing that keeps us alive.

While true that some Islamic radicals are engaged in a holy war against America, it is wrong to suspect them unless it can be clearly shown that they are engaged in some activity that endangers the American people, so liberals say. It is not good for the liberal cause that we fear terrorists. In a foiled terrorist plot to bring the Brooklyn Bridge crashing into the river, The New York Times took the position that it was a "pathetically amateurish and unthreatening" plot. The evidence says otherwise. On the foiled terrorist plot to blow up Kennedy Airport, The New York Times wrote that it was a "less-than-mature terrorist plan." The New York Times, we can presume, would have written same about the 9-11 attack had it been nipped in the bud. Give the government credit where credit is due. The evidence on the plot to blow up Kennedy Airport was strong. In the foiled terrorist plan to drive into Fort Dix with automatic weapons and kill all the troops possible, the mainstream press wrote, "would-be terrorists . . .leaderless . . .with no rigorous military training." On the terrorist plan to set off a dirty bomb in an American city, the Washington Post: "an unlikely attacker, a small-time crook with a grand plan." The evidence said otherwise. We've a choice: listen to our own common sense answers or be victimized by the various self-serving spins of authorities.

White Wolf reports that he read The Spontaneous Healing of Belief by Greg Braden. White Wolf speaks of a blend of quantum physics and spirituality. Actually, he's talking about looking within for answers. We've finally been allowed by the latest scientific discoveries to use our God-given faculties, knowing that America's authorities, be they religious or secular, are playing God Almighty.

.

Early America was known as the land of opportunity. Today, the makers and keepers of the law insist on our Constitution being interpreted in light of today's needs-mind you, as they see it. And they are backed by the vote.

In a land of equal opportunity, the fundamental premise in America's constitutional law, and that does not change, the individual is expected to take full advantage of his or her opportunities. Society is not responsible to the individual.

Whenever government gets involved with the individual, equal opportunity is replaced with government entitlements. Personal responsibility and self-reliance are replaced with government guarantees, by and through redistribution of income, currently in a tax on income. Slouches are treated the same as the resourceful.

We have the choice of voting for a Republican or Democrat for president, both of whom are of an establishment that calls for government dominance over the individual. It is simply the degree of dominance for which we vote.

According to the current interpretation of the income tax, all income is government money. Government, composed of people with the same drive as you and I, find it to their advantage to give the wealthiest loopholes in the income tax, allowing the richest among us to pay a lower percentage of their incomes in tax than the middle class. Moreover, the wealthiest, knowing human nature, hire lobbyists to push their causes. Lobbyists and politicians scratch each others backs. They are all big buddies with huge egos. Not only do the rich get tax breaks, they get multibillion dollar government contracts. This includes nations against American principles. America's sweat is going to finance them. It's all a big money game.

The little guy gets the bill. However, would I refuse to accept government entitlements, which allow me to live a good life? Would the giver of my good life turn against entitlements? No to both questions. We are forced to do what our better judgement says don't do.

Democrat Obama wants to double the capital gains tax and at the same time give a lot of government money away to the middle class-his means of redistribution of incomes, of course to his advantage. Is it to the American people's advantage? Hardly. The middle class invests in businesses and stocks. If they profit, they pay a tax. If they lose there is no refund of tax already paid. If inflation means they sell at double the price they paid and the dollars they receive buy half as much, they still pay the capital gains tax on the amount of dollars they receive. Common sense tells you that doubling the capital gains tax is a disincentive to invest. Past experience tells us that doubling the capital gains tax will bring in less revenue. Candidate Obama knows this. He wants to be in control and this is his means of control. Anyone running for president is bound to have a colossal ego. That's why our Constitution was designed to balance our individual power with the high and mighty. There is no question about it. We've got a tyrannous government and courts in control of our lives. They interpret the Constitution for their express benefit.

President Franklin D. Roosevelt, to use his words, declared, "While it isn't written in the Constitution, nevertheless it is the inherent duty of the Federal Government to keep its citizens from starvation." The very worst thing Roosevelt could have done was to give individual grants in aid. It put government in control. At the time, America's debt was relatively low. After Japan bombed Pearl Harbor, the American people were perfectly willing to go deeply into debt to protect our liberties. With good leadership, we would have been willing to borrow in massive public works projects to do the same as World War II caused us to do. During World War II, every American who wanted to work had a job. The Great Depression that persisted throughout Roosevelt's administration, ended in a snap of the fingers. After the war, I came home to boom times. There is no question about it. America took a wrong turn a long time back and now the truth of it is coming out. Faced with fiscal and moral bankruptcy, we're playing the blame game and getting nowhere.

Egalitarianism is a French word that goes a step further than equal opportunity. It means all people are born equal and therefore should be treated as equal under the law. Some people are brighter than others and usually more aggressive. They are more materially rewarded. The egalitarian believes that is unfair. While equal opportunity doesn't say that all people should share and share alike, the egalitarian believes they should. The question arises as to who should do the redistribution. In the communist Soviet Union, those with the power lavished themselves and left the masses in poverty.

We are not Christ-like. In America, somehow, with a Constitution that gave everyone equal opportunity, the American people insisted on the enslavement of people of color. And now, just the reverse, many want everyone to share and share alike.

Most American politicians cater to the not so bright and the least aggressive. The disincentive to the bright and more aggressive is bringing down the economy while politicians lavish themselves. Already, those on the receiving end are often times living better than those paying the taxes. Pitting those paying taxes against those receiving is a sure loser. It is certain to bring social disorder.

We Americans need to go back to the drawing board. Our national debt is out of control and growing by leaps and bounds. Good leadership would call for doing away with federal income tax. Replace it with a tax on spending. Modern technology makes it possible to work. We have the means to of allowing for a standard American existence-a median priced home, a median priced automobile, unprepared food, health care, etc, tax free. In addition, an allowance should be made for personal savings. Entitlements should be fazed out. If one has the money to buy a multimillion dollar yacht, he should pay a king's ransom in tax. Without all of us, they would not be rich. The wealthiest among us bear a social responsibility. That isn't socialism. It's common sense.

The polls say that only 14 percent of the American people approve of the way our politicians are handling things. Why don't our political leaders not see the folly of their ways? Why do they allow the CEOs of five oil companies to shoot down the economy? Is it because the American people like the convenience of going where they want when they want. Is it because we believe in free enterprise? No. This scam has nothing to do with free enterprise. It is because America's politicians are bought and paid for.

There will always be those, no matter what, who refuse to take personal responsibility for their lives. They should not be in control. Here's where those with the colossal egos should be put in charge. Freedom is a privilege, not a right. As long as I'm not interfering with others' rights, I value the freedom to do my thing without government interference. But let me qualify my stand. I don't believe anyone should be relegated to the street. Senator Obama speaks to the irresponsible who don't share in the prosperity free enterprise allows us. They should be in his kind of structured environment, not by choice, but by law. Never should they have the choice of living on the street and begging.

As for illegals, of course under the terms I propose, I would open America's borders to all who value their freedom to do their thing, and are willing to abide by our laws. Mexicans are great workers. They are an asset to America. It used to be that the world beat a path to America's door, where they had an opportunity to get rich. By placing the individual in charge of his or her life, most of America's problems would vanish like mist in the morning sun.

What a pity the American people don't see things my way. Perhaps they do but with the one sided news media we've got who would know it? Be advised that the left in control of the news media have the idea of forcing more conservative talk radio and cable news to change ownership to more liberal oriented management.

Neither Obama nor McCain see or speak reality. Their heads are in Washington's cess pool. Our light at the end of the tunnel: There is a dimension of infinite possibility. By observation, we make our reality, individually, as a society.

I wrote egalitarianism in my Gaia search and learned something I didn't previously know. Investigation finds that same sex relationship is more egalitarian. There are fewer differences. The deep-rooted biological differences in men and women don't exist in same sex relationships. The differences in men and women are how responsibility, power, and authority is shared. As proven by same sex relationships, we don't live today in the same world the creators of our moral values lived.

In my case, the first three women I was married to looked at me as the breadwinner. I looked at them as being in charge of domestic matters. In sexual matters, I was the one who initiated it. My first three wives were prone to start discussions over our problems when I suggested sex. They were angry about the tasks I expected them to perform. It disgusted me. There were outbursts of temper that left both of us deeply resentful. I had the feeling of being put upon. It finally got to the point that I didn't take it any longer. I'm a one-woman-man, but marriage imposed unfair restrictions on me.

I now learn that in same sex relationships these differences don't exist. Arguments are usually resolved without outbursts of temper.

Coincidentally, in my fourth marriage, having learned the hard way, I've not let age-old tradition spoil a good thing. I've made a conscious effort to be less dominating. My fourth wife has responded by relying on me to make the important decisions. In sex, I'm not always the initiator. It never results in a list of complaints.

My fourth wife has been more the breadwinner than I. She's not much into cooking. In self defense, I've become the cook. Our relationship, like in same sex marriage, is more egalitarian.

In the social case, egalitarianism-sharing and sharing alike-doesn't work because government is the dominant party. It passes laws that forces sharing. The answer is in individual understanding of the higher law of nature.

We humans are created with the capacity to observe vastly more than any other life form on the planet. We've become consciously aware of a vast universe, and more lately of the microcosmic, which promises to reveal vastly more about the makeup of everything, as well as the meaning of it all. The "collapse of the light wave"-when wave becomes particle in lab experiments-leads science to imagine a "dimension of infinite possibility." Where would we be without imagination? First comes the possibility, then the probability, and finally the reality. A dimension of infinite possibility is separate and apart from the space-time dimension. Imagine a layered computer screen and you get the whole picture.

Although we don't see the layers of the picture, in lab experiments, Bell's theorem proves that particles communicate instantly, once connected, no matter if they are removed light years from each other. By observing, we make reality. We are co-creators. The more we observe, the greater our conscious awareness, the bigger our creations.

There is no limit in our consciousness. I spent two years at sea. Imagine 360 degrees of horizon all the same and 180 degrees above all the same. You are the only moving entity. Sooner or later you are going to reach land, a place where there are people and responsibilities other than to yourself.

My sea experience broadened my perspective. Upon my return to land, my life became more meaningful, more satisfying. I found the right mate for life. Currently, if it gets any better, I don't know about it. If it works for me, it can work for you.

What I didn't know until this very moment is that we're natively here to share and share alike our spiritual values. However, it begins in you and I, not in man's civil laws, not in "God's law" as told by "God's vicars." The cutting edge of science says to look within for your answers and you will find that we're all out of the same mold, merely projections of the supreme consciousness of the universe.

We're not here because we're here, but for a unique purpose. As we pass through the cycles of our lives, we are challenged to end with love for all and a desire to apply our energy to universal service. Our work is complete in this life only when we can bring the joy of living to others.

Consider that this Aquarian messenger has been thinking and acting on my ideas since 1975, when I had my bigger than life calling; that is, when I concluded that I was put here to think and act for more than my own benefit, which started with my objection to federal income tax. My then wife suggested that I see a psychiatrist. My purpose today is to ask my readers this question: do you think I'm crazy for attacking federal income tax as unconstitutional?

This nonconformist appreciates and understands the Gaia Community, bearing out my stand that mainstream America is far different than the picture the leftist press paints. I have only to read the thoughts of people all over the world posting to the Gaia Community. The posts are heart-felt and generous to the rights of others.

I can't believe that the poles I see represent the American people. The liberal left asks questions that produce the answers it wants, as presidential candidate McCain phrased it, what the "beast" wants. "To invest the law then with authority is, it seems, to invest God and reason only; to invest a man is to introduce a beast, as desire is something bestial, and even the best of men in authority are liable to be corrupted by passion." Aristotle.

Desire and bestial are associated with power, a mindless juggernaut sweeping over America. To invest the law with God and reason brings another question to bear. Is God a mistake man makes or is man a mistake God made? My friends, God is not a manmade contrivance. God is represented in nature's constancy. You get a changing form of law called "legal" when you give ambitious men the privilege of making and enforcing the law. Hitler was legal. To invest God and reason only is to predicate the law on certain principles of right and justice which are entitled to prevail, altogether regardless of poles and politics. Cicero, the father of modern law asserted, "We are the law's slaves that we may be free."

It isn't reason, which is fundamental to the law, that the driven employ to control the masses; it is lust and greed-the beast in the powerful that I challenged. I demanded to be heard in a meaningful way in a meaningful place. There is no such place in America for a taxpaying worker. I was turned down by the U.S. District Court, the U.S. Court of Appeals, and the U.S. Supreme Court, all of whom go on "legal precedence;" in other words, the form of law the powers that be decide will be the law. The Supreme Court is empowered to make the law whatever it says is the law. It is no different now than when the Taney Court decided that black slaves were property, the same as mules and cows.

The legitimacy of my case is proven by the fact that I was heard by none other than the liberal left Palm Beach Post. This newspaper printed my challenge to federal income tax on the front page of the local section. There was zero response.  Nobody in his right mind challenges federal income tax. The story pointed out that the IRS makes numerous mistakes and the taxpayer is powerless to do anything. So now you know.

The liberal left makes a big play on civil rights. It wants to gut the Patriot Act, which protects the American people from extremist Muslim terrorists. The liberal left, by the way, is silent on "extremist Muslim terrorists," an undeniable fact, and on the "lawless IRS," which deprives workers of their right to exist on the fruits of their own labor, an undeniable fact. Germany's Jews wondered why nobody did anything to save them from being slaughtered by Nazi butchers, an undeniable fact.

You can't depend on the powers that be to protect your freedoms. The bottom line: you must look within for your answers. God answers those who know and employ their God-given power. If you've been reading my blogs, you know that it is a miracle that I'm even here. I count my blessings. In 2008, I can honestly say that life is good. So, now I ask you to speak your mind. Are we aware of the power we have within us? Or, am I mentally unbalanced, a threat to peace-loving folks? What more can I say? Are we not equipped to cope with the evil forces of lust and greed?

From my blog, "The Making of Man":

"Common sense and fundamental principles of law inform us that we are born free to do our own thing. It is, indeed, by doing another's thing where trouble begins. Natural law does not come from thou shalt nots. Shalt nots assure us of wrong doing. With everyone in control of his or her own life, with the expansion of conscious awareness, we reach out for the universe's energy, open channels of communication that have been blocked. For the good will and welfare of all concerned, the self-directed individual is in touch with higher law and is grateful for the good life the God of all gives us."

From my blog, "The Making of Man II":

"Five oil companies are being allowed to wreck the American economy. . . The Bible tells us to make man in our image. Don't count on the authorities to help any. We, the people, are the economy."

I've mentioned in my blogs a number of times that I'm living a charmed life. We sold our home in 1999, bought an RV and traveled. During our travels, the price of a home tripled. After 9 years of RV living, the wheel of fortune landed on the right number for us. We've moved into our new home. It is everything we could have dreamed. The Veteran's Administration came through in November. I'm now designated a 100 percent disabled veteran. How do I reconcile my position of not counting on the authorities for help?

The number 1 stands for beginnings, the beginning of the universe, the beginning of our lives. Uranus, my ruling planet, was opposing its position when I was born, indicating a time of change, when I was in my forties. I was 49 when I made a great change. I cut my umbilical cord with my past and started over with a higher goal than my own selfish needs.

In my early life, I was ruled by my worldly education. In my new life, internally ruled; that is, by my stars, which are ruled by a pattern represented by numbers. In my new life, I've been more in harmony with the higher law of nature. Please allow me to explain. The number 9 represents endings. I'm 9 x 9 plus 1 year on this planet, 1 standing for beginnings-beginning after living through 9 nine-year cycles. Life is good because I've lived and learned.

Nature doesn't reveal all of her secrets, but enough that we can do the accounting and get answers. Pythagoras, an ancient Greek mystic, was educated by Egyptian priests, the Persian sage, Zoroaster, and in Judea, by the Kabbala. He is known as the father of mathematics. Pythagoras maintained that numbers represent the characteristics of human beings, figures the aspects of matter. In keeping with Pythagoras' observations, the cutting edge of science finds that light waves, when observed, become tiny particles of energy. When observed wave becomes particle, how can that be?

How can a light wave become a subatomic particle called a photon? Photons enter our brains through our eyes and we see a moving picture. Similarly, subatomic particles, called electrons, directed on a TV screen give us a moving picture. We can now see a moving picture of the world in action. We don't think about observing light waves turning into particles. We don't think about accounting for it by figures, nor of ourselves made by a pattern of numbers. Indeed, the modern world has caused us to become preoccupied with the material things in life.

In the "mind's eye," we put the building blocks of the universe, subatomic particles, together to create things. We're co-creators, the making of man in our image (Gen 1:26). Currently, the problem is the quality of life. We can have an enormous quantity of things and live unhappy lives. The cause of our unhappiness is the beast that remains in us, the drive for control. We don't want information that demands change.

There are many who want to be free to do whatever they please. Unfortunately, there are disciplined people who tend to prey on those who love their freedom to do their thing from moment to moment. A carefree, undisciplined life leaves them with little. It leaves them dependent on others.

A new image of man is on the horizon, an image of what it means to be a human being, how to think of ourselves as evaluating and understanding how it all comes together. The nomenclature of the heavens, according to astrologers, was such at my birth that I would have "the ability to understand the laws by which subtle forces are organized," from The Astrologer's Handbook; and that I would be the water-bearer to humanity, that I "may be the person to bring back information that has been lost to civilization for centuries," from The Rising Sign.

Pythagoras talked about the music of the spheres. Music reduces to vibrations, which are represented by numbers. As a musician, I know that each note has a frequency, the number of vibrations per second. An octave change is the doubling of vibrations. C above middle C on a keyboard has 512 vibrations per second. One octave up has 1024 vibrations per second. "Discrete numbers" are where your number is always a single digit. For example, 12 is 1+2=3, 3 being the discrete number for 12; 1024 (512 x 2) is 1+0+2+4=7, 7 being the discrete number; 2048 (512x4) is 2+0+4+8=14. 1+4=5. In discrete doubling, 1=1, 2=2, 4=4, 8=8, 16=7, 32=5, 64=1, 128=2, 256=4, 512=8, 1024=7, 2048=5, forming a pattern to infinity of 1-2-4-8-7-5. When you add the numbers 1 to 9 together, you get a total of 45. 4+5=9, the highest number. In a circle you have 360 degrees. 3+6=9. In half a circle, you have 180 degrees. 1+8=9. In a right triangle, you have 90 degrees. 9+0=9.

Using discrete numbers, mathematical logarithm gives you the above picture of a sphere. If you place iron filings on a piece of paper and a magnet beneath you get a similar picture, a magnetic field, graphic illustration of the whole of things up to the universe, or an accounting of harmony and symmetry, as Pythagoras said, the music of the spheres.

The highest number being 9, the least number being 1, 1 representing the least quantity, the smallest excitation of a quantized vibration or field, as in a photon. We see the light, which can be reduced to vibrations, which can be reduced to numbers, the characteristics of human beings, figures the aspects of matter.

Now called quantum mechanics, it used to be called matrix mechanics. We take for granted the matrix of numbers that makes computer language. We take for granted the numbers that go to make sense to we humans. Quantum physics has at last recognized consciousness as essential to mass, energy, force, and movement.

Much time alone has made me see vibratory energy being transmitted from person to person, syncing us with the collective consciousness of the universe. Coincidentally, we are moving from the age of Pisces into the Age of Aquarius. America was born under the sign of Aquarius. Early Americans were chance takers. They were determined to change conditions.  Until one is on the Aquarian's wave length, he may think of this individual as spaced out. Abraham Lincoln, Thomas Jefferson, and Daniel Boone were of the Aquarian influence.  

One thing about the Aquarian, he will never be overlooked. He's willing to fight for what he wants. He uses his energy to tap the highest universal energy.  Like I say, nature has her secrets and I have my evidence. So, yes, my government entitlements have allowed me this fine home-and the time and space to bring you the Aquarian message.  Everything is in divine order. I'm where I was meant to be, doing the thing I was meant to do.  

The flawed Supreme Court of the United States

The U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit has declared "one nation under God" unconstitutional. First, let it be known that we do not have a Supreme Court of America. The U.S. Supreme Court is silent on America's Pledge of Allegiance.

Second, let it be known that at the Nuremberg trials, where Nazi war criminals were prosecuted, the Nazi excuse of merely following the German government's law, was not accepted. Therefore, it is a contradiction of the higher laws of mankind to say that a pledge to God and country is unconstitutional. The law in practice in the United States does not stand with the theory of law-that there are certain principles of right and justice which are entitled to prevail of their own intrinsic excellence, altogether regardless of the attitude of those who wield the physical resources of the community. These words come from Edward S. Corwin's The "Higher Law" Background of American Constitutional Law. Law professor Corwin's famous essay holds with the tradition behind the "higher law."

Political justice in the United States is out of sync with man's sense of rightness, but would I or anyone else receiving government entitlements give up any of the money on the idea of fairness? Empathically no! There are more Americans receiving something from government than there are taxpayers. We are asked to remain loyal and faithful to the United States and its laws, tax laws that took the product of my labor and put me on the street. My guess is that this government's entitlements will end when they mean the enslavement of the taxpayer.

We humans are the ultimate guardians of the overall plan for this world, and soon to become generally aware that coercive government is no answer.

Third, let it be known that the universe is hostile to life. Out of the enormous destruction in the universe emerged the planet Earth, and life, and finally life consciously aware of vastly more than all other life on the planet, to life capable of witnessing out of the destruction the beauty of nature. One of the most beautiful places I've been is Crater Lake, Oregon, which came from one of the most violent of volcanic eruptions. My first date with my wonderful wife was nearby the eruption of Mt. St. Helens. A higher law of nature: out of calamity comes hope and renewal.

What do you make of this from The Physics of Consciousness by medical doctor and quantum physicist Evan Harris Walker? "A physical domain exists that is governed by immutable laws. But these laws leave open a range of happenings that are left to the selection of the mind. Behind this selection is the will. The will works much like a communications channel that links all of us to a common control center. . ."

"A universe that has only matter cannot have consciousness and cannot have will. The picture painted to explain the material world, orderly but without God, has failed to work. The closer conception of a Spinozan universe, matter that is ordered into a divine-like creation, is also a flawed philosophy. It does not have the machinery to account for its order, and it does not represent the real universe in which conscious beings dwell. Einstein could see the print of God's hand on creation extending to the edges of the cosmos, but he failed to see us there, he failed to see the implications of mind for physics, and he failed to see anything but the shadow of God."

How could consciousness of a God-self be hidden in the atoms of the universe? Man has finally found the hiding place. Our universe is in the mind of man, the mind of God. An examination of the aspects of matter finds that observation turns the universe's vibrations into our reality. We are the making of man in our image. We are the creators of ourselves and our world. Everything is here for our enjoyment. It is up to us as individuals, as communities, to make the most of it. Therefore, we must protect this wonder of the universe, not through coercive government, but by and though one on one relationships. Welcome to the Gaia Community.

Dick Morris, in Fleeced, makes the point, statistically, that we, the people, are far more concerned over our health than in educating our children. We spend $500 billion educating them and $2.2 trillion on our health care. Morris' answer is that we're not giving school administrators enough authority to give merit pay increases, nor the authority to weed out the bad teachers. Teacher's unions demand equal pay. There isn't enough money to give all teachers an increase in pay. The public is unwilling to pay more for mediocre education.

What all of this means is that the better teachers are leaving the teaching profession and taking jobs in private industry where management has the authority to hire and fire and give merit pay increases.

But what about this enigma? We've allowed professional health care providers to charge all the traffic will bear, apparently realizing that in so doing we get better health care. There are good doctors and not so good doctors. We have the freedom of choice. Not so in our children's education. We don't have a choice.

The statistics do not tell the full story. In colonial times in America, the word spread that a certain wagon builder built sturdy wagons. He got more orders than other wagon builders. Along with big business, came big government, labor unions, and big tax. Where big money goes, goes big power-and accordingly, lobbying for various interests. Banks, for instance, contribute generously to the political campaigns of the party that favors banks, teacher unions to the party that favors unions. Our children's education is under the control of teachers' unions. Over a period of time, all governments become too big, too powerful.

In that I'm retired, and government entitled, I've the time to think, and more importantly, a place on the Internet to communicate to thousands, the Gaia Community. Were I a school teacher and children told me I inspired them, I would be the best that I could be. And likewise here, the Gaia Community encourages me to be the best communicator I can be. What's the answer for big government?

Let us imagine the reverse process-entitled from the beginning to be the best that we can be, and grateful to parents and teachers for inspiring us. The benefits to cost, when comparing my senior citizen entitlement , would be a thousand to one. I can only speak for myself. Nothing in my early life encouraged me to be the best that I could be. For the most part, I was discouraged. When I was a young child, my parents told me I asked too many questions. What if they had said, "What do you think?" Would I not have been encouraged to look within for answers? Consider that my parents and their parents were encouraged to think little and follow customs and traditions dating back to antiquity-rules of behavior that no longer apply.

I became so disillusioned with government, and life in general, that I cut loose from the herd at mid-life and proceeded on my own. As I look back, that was the best thing I could have done. I learned in the school of hard knocks. Once a businessman, and then a vagabond, a gypsy, and open to other kinds of people's ideas, captain of my own ship, steering myself out of my former shoals and reefs and onto a safer course, what a pity that our leaders continue leading the nation into treacherous waters.

People fear God (authority). We are taught to believe we are evil, sinful, and selfish, thereby instigating the wrath of God (authority). I instigated the wrath of the IRS by demanding a right to the fruits of my own labor. We hunger to find a God we can know, in a universe of uncountable heavenly bodies, which keeps getting bigger and bigger. No way is God watching over me. There is either no such thing as God or God resides in me. I'm conscious of the fact that God helps those who help themselves. I can be anyone I want to be. In fact, I'm where I want to be doing the things I want to do.

I know there is no such thing as objective reality. The latest science tells me the conceived reality is not real, that the observer interacts with matter; my reality is in my mind. Modern marvels have brought me closer to the truth. Nothing could be further from the truth than that material things bring us happiness. We've been bewitched and beguiled by the material, the very thing that could lead us to our reward. Everything we've learned comes down to the fact that universal consciousness runs the universe, and us if we allow it.

We're getting there, and there is no quicker way than to watch the whole system go up in smoke. According to cultural historian Richard Tarnas, the planets Saturn and Pluto are moving into unfavorable aspect. We're going into a period of world-wide disruption.

As for the individual, I recommend that we thoughtfully read the following:  "We have a new image of what it means to be a human being, how to think of ourselves as growing, evaluating, understanding, that we can connect with our God-self energy. At first unconsciously-and everyone has a different way of reacting-the object is to bring into consciousness the reactions and determine whether or not the reaction is mature or immature-when we can step back and look at our higher self, when need becomes strength."

"We all start at immature levels of ego functions. We have a sense of security based on how much we feel in charge of our lives. We want to keep the idea that things are going fine. We have goals we want to achieve. We need to manipulate things to keep everything just right. We need to keep this allusion for security purposes. If new information comes in, we can act defensively. We don't want information that rocks the boat."

"What happens is that this allusion, based on security control, has to shift to our inner connection, our God-self force that gives us a sense of well being no matter what's going on out there. We have to make that opening on the inside."

"As you get in touch with your inner energy and start to get in touch with your higher self, you will be guided into how to find that true work expression. It will be shown to you intuitively. This becomes the way you uplift everyone who comes into your life. When you evolve into your higher self you energize those who cross your path. This becomes your greatest talent."

Time waits for no man. Would you believe that the above thoughts are those of James Redfield, the author of The Celestine Prophecy? Get ready for the greatest change ever in human history. Here is another piece of evidence that we are more than matter. About 20 years ago, Redfield sent me this message on an audio tape. It is his reading of my astrological data.

Note-  My daughter, a high paid office manager, quit her job to become a school teacher. Just today, my daughter, Holly Myers, a child expert, a student of Marie Montessori, sent me these quotes:

Absorbent Mind

1. The developing child not only acquires the faculties of man: strength, intelligence, language; but at the same time, he adapts the being he is constructing to the conditions of the world about him. And this it is that gives virtue to his particular form of psychology, which is so different from that of adults. The child has a different relation to his environment from ours. Adults admire the environment; they can remember it and think about it; but the child absorbs it. The things he sees are not just remembered; they from part of his soul. He incarnates in himself all in the world about him that his eyes see and his ears hear. In us the same things produce no change, but the child is transformed by them. This vital kind of memory, which does not consciously remember, but absorbs images into the individual's very life, has been given a special name by Sir Percy Nunn, who calls it the "Mneme." (p. 62 The Aborbent Mind).

2. The child doesn't just live in his environment, it becomes a part of him. ‘ He absorbs the life going on about him and becomes one with it ...The child's impressions are so profound that a biological or psycho-chemical change takes place, by which his mind ends by resembling the environment itself.' (p.110 Montessori, A Modern Approach)

3. The child absorbs knowledge from his environment simply by living. As we said in Chapter VI "...we adults acquire knowledge with our intelligence, whilst the child absorbs it with his whole psychic life...The impressions not only penetrate into his mind, they form it; they become incarnate." We may remind the reader of the example there given of the remarkable way the child's mind, unconsciously, absorbs his mother tongue - in all its complexity of grammar, syntax and the most subtle nuances of pronunciation. (p. 263 Maria Montessori, Her Life and Work)

4. If, on the other hand, the material be insufficient, and the primary auto-exercise incapable of leading the child on to that maturity which causes him to ascend, there will be no explosion of that spontaneous phenomenon of abstraction which is the second stage of an auto-education advancing in infinite progression. The same fundamental phenomenon of absorbed and prolonged attention which leads to repetition of the acts, guides us in determining the stimuli suitable to the age of the child. ( p. 79 Spontaneous

Activity in Education.)

5. This illustrates one of the fundamental differences between the natural laws of work for children and for adults. A child does not follow the law of minimum effort, but rather the very opposite. He consumes a great deal of energy in working for no ulterior end and employs all his potentialities in the execution of each detail. The external object and action are in every case of only accidental importance. There is a striking relationship between the environment and the perfecting of a child's inner life. A man who achieves sublimation is not preoccupied with external things. He only uses them at the proper time for the perfecting of his own inner life. In contrast to such a man, one who is leading an ordinary life is preoccupied with some external goals and he pursues them at any cost, sometimes to the extent of losing his health or even his soul. P. 197 Secret of Childhood).

If anyone has a message to my daughter, please leave it here and I will forward it to her.

Should we revere what the ancients left us with or our own thoughts based on current experience? Speaking for "the Lord" (Deuteronomy 32:32), "For their vine is of the vine of Sodom, and of the fields of Gomorrah: their grapes are grapes of gall, their clusters are bitter. (33) Their wine is the poison of dragons, and the cruel venom of asps. (34) Is not this laid up in store with me, and sealed up among my treasures? (35) To me belongeth vengeance and recompense; their foot shall slide in due time: for the day of their calamity is at hand, and the things that come upon them make haste." What about "sealed up among my treasures?" Should vengeance be thought of as a treasure to seal? This thought comes from ancient Beduins in the harsh environment of the Sahara Desert. In representing "the Lord," can the like minded not feel justified, for instance, in taking down the World Trade Center?

We find in the New Testament that God reinvented himself. From the Sermon on the Mount (Matthew 5:3) "Blessed are the poor in spirit for their's is the kingdom of heaven. (4) Blessed are they that mourn: for they shall be comforted. (5) Blessed are the meek: for they shall inherit the earth. (6) Blessed are they which do hunger and thirst for righteousness: for they shall be filled. (7)Blessed are the merciful: for they shall obtain mercy. (8) Blessed are the pure of heart: for they shall see God. (9) Blessed are the peacemakers: for they shall be called the children of God."

According to the story of my life, as written in the stars, God has once again reinvented himself, this time not in the form of "the Lord" of humans, but as the supreme Consciousness of the universe, which has placed man in charge of the planet Earth (Gen. 1:26). People are all to prone to replace man with external authority. In my view, God is internal and cannot be removed, only sidetracked. Unfortunately, only a few people allow conscious awareness the freedom of limitless expansion. Few, indeed-seeing themselves as drops in an ocean-in the likeness of their Creator, allow man to make man here on Earth-with the power of God-allow man to be anything he wants to be, and leave vengeance to the representatives of a God that reinvented himself long ago, leave the kingdom of heaven to the representatives of a God that has once again reinvented himself.

Frankly, I don't know "when this life is over." I don't know "the sweet by and by." "Christian soldiers marching as to war" turns me off, as does a place called Paradise where people who kill Christians and Jews go. The here and now is all I know.

Keeping "for the day of their calamity is at hand" in mind, as the story of my life goes, there was a time when vengeance left me on the street, followed by a time when vengeance paid a high price. This was left out of the Bible text: when the calamity my life had become was followed by hope and renewal. Came the time when I was richly rewarded with a soul mate for life. Actually, as the story of my life goes, I reinvented myself-removed the shackles that held me captive of the status quo.

In "the temptation of Eve," and "the fall of man" (Gen.3:6), "And when the woman saw that the tree was good for food, and that it was pleasant to the eyes, and a tree to be desired to make one wise, she took of the fruit . . ." Just as the stars predicted, I gave myself the freedom to grow in awareness. I disobeyed "the Lord." Once again we find the all-too-human "Lord" was flat out wrong! I partook of the forbidden fruit and was blessed.

Miraculously, when everything could have gone wrong, everything went right. I count my blessings. I can only speak for myself. Just as predicted-it was all recorded before it happened-I found my path of destiny. Miraculously, I'm where I want to be, doing the things I want to do.

From my experience, when in sync with the God of tomorrow, the story of my life-after the calamity came hope and renewal-perhaps the story of my life could be the story of everyone's life.

On the subject of the mind, after years of thought, backed by much experience, I'm convinced that, depending on how unrestricted one is, the mind of man makes one aware of the way it all comes together. Not so with man's convention. The high and mighty lead us on a snipe hunt; they speak in riddles; they babble platitudes.  

If we are ever to get where we want to go, it all comes down to beginnings, and everything that begins ends---we would hope good, but all too often not so good. The closer to the beginning we examine, the sooner the end, and visa versa. In the microcosmic, the beginning and end is in nanoseconds (one billionth of a second). In the macrocosmic, the beginning and end is in billions of years. Time and space are really one, the time it takes to get from here to there. The closer we move to an object, the larger the object. Time, space, and movement are really one state-a state of mind. It's all allusion.

If one exists in a state of mind, that is, without boundaries, then one really is in the image of God. Einstein thought about this. He called it the unified field theory-the elements and forces be written as a single field---in other words, God. His colleagues talked him out of it. My mentor, quantum physicist Evan Harris Walker, wrote about it in The Physics of Consciousness. He proved a force higher than the forces of gravity and electromagnetism through Bell's theorem. His colleagues claimed that he was trying to smuggle God into physics.

If one were consciously aware that he was made in the image of God (in the Holy Bible, God said, "Let us make man in our image," in Gen. 1:26, imagine the effect of being conscious we are at one with God, what a drastic effect it would have on the scheme of things. Imagine how it would affect the power structure. The same as in the physical universe, it begins in our minds, where atoms and mind interact, were we whatever we wanted to be, doing whatever we wanted to do, the world's building blocks coming from the individual, the way I view it, we would all be part of the supreme intelligence of the universe.

The allusion that we are merely cogs in mechanical wheels would be replaced by we are co-creators of our world. The allusion that we are born in sin, and must beg forgiveness to be saved, would be replaced by I AM THAT I AM, that which God told Moses. The allusion that a devil makes us do bad things would be replaced by I am my brother's keeper. I would never do to my brothers what I would not do to myself. I would be at one with God. My friends, would God avenge himself? Unfortunately, allusion brought down the World Trade Center. The establishment would just as soon we didn't know that. But we've got minds that think!

Being at one with God, with the intelligence of the universe-no intelligent being is "extraterrestrial," or terrestrial; we exist in an unrestricted state, without time, space, or movement, the establishment would just as soon we didn't know that.

Unidentified flying objects (UFOs) are identified by the state of our existence. The establishment would just as soon we didn't know that. Einstein identified UFOs when he discovered that at the speed of light nothing exists, speaking in terms of the physical. I repeat, speaking in terms of the physical, we've now discovered that although the laws of physics are immutable there are other happenings in the universe that make our reality. There is a dimension of infinite possibility.  Einstein  wouldn't admit it because he didn't want to be ridiculed by his colleages.  He let power and prestige deprive him of God.

Instead of attempting to employ man's laws to stop, for instance, illegal drugs, and all that goes with that, this brings me to the question: What is a newborn's state of mind? Why do our children take drugs, knowing they can ruin their lives, or even kill themselves? From their education, they couldn't think very much of themselves. According to child expert, Marie Montessori, the child has a different relation in his environment than the adult's. "He incarnates in himself all in the world about him that his eyes see and his ears hear. In us, the same things produce no change, but the child is transformed by them."  Prolonged attention to man's mechanisms, holding the child in tow, leads to generation after generation of repetition-and the denial of God's will-the drive for power---that we be the making of ambitious men's wills.

We are at last beginning to see the light. According to Montessori, the fundamental differences between natural laws and man's law-the child doesn't work with minimum effort, he employs maximum effort to every detail-man's external objective is of accidental importance, the child's inner life is being perfected. Turn it around and the child is an accident of nature. Man's law, contrary to natural law,  unconsciously does its utmost to make the child a tool of the high and mighty of this planet.  It is not up to authority, it is up to us to straighten out our thinking.

I'm a messenger of a new way of thinking. I would not be telling you these things were it not true for me. I'm where I want to be, doing the things I want to do. If we are truly here to make man in our image-in God's image-it begins with the individual. Nothing could be as important as the proper education of our children. First, we must reeducate ourselves. Nothing is as it appears to be. We observe and that becomes our reality. God's will is really our will. We are each creators.

Yesterday, I asked who are we and what is our purpose? My answer was that we observe and that becomes our reality. God's will is really our will. We are each creators.

According to star gazers, the world is going to repeat a disruption. From the looks of things, I'd say they are right. According to star gazers, I was put here to use my mind. They were right. From the looks of things, I'd say the majority lets their heart rule. I see a connection in that and the disruption. It raises a question: was man created with the conscious awareness of his creator, or was such awareness granted to selected authorities? People of the Muslim faith danced in the streets when the news broke that people of their faith took down The World Trade Center and killed over 3,000 people.

My question is answered by the facts. Selected authorities are given credit for having the conscious awareness of the creator of man. Actually, from the facts, we should have determined that God is really manmade, and responsible for growing disruption, bloodshed, and destruction. Factually, the world keeps producing many manmade gods, not only in religious faiths but in civil faiths, such as America's civil rights. To America's civil authorities, it is more blessed to release known religious killers to kill again than to keep them under lock and key for an indefinite period of time. This idea comes from the idea that it is better to turn a thousand criminals loose on society than to risk putting one innocent man in jail. God is all heart-and mindless, of course for sinister purposes.

The theories I mention have never worked, but as one newspaper editor told me, although my ideas sound good, how do we know they will work? Frankly, we don't. We've never put them to work.

America's Founding Fathers wrote a constitution based on, shall we say, "the Higher Law?" The American people "ordained" it. We, the American people, pledged to be one nation under God. We gave all people equal rights, with exceptions. There are always exceptions for practical reasons. Actually, the makers and keepers of America's laws have never created one law that did not include exceptions, and especially applicable in income tax laws. Income tax law would fill a large boxcar. It is hard to imagine equal rights and the IRS going through our personal records, an IRS allowed to make limitless mistakes. A man is innocent under America's law unless proven guilty, except in tax laws. Taxpayers are automatically guilty unless they can prove themselves innocent, which would cost in legal fees at least $500,000. But hey! We Americans can't blame our authorities. Under the circumstances, they do the best they can when we allow our hearts to rule over our better judgement. .

We've never trusted ourselves to possess God's power. The Bible starts with "And God said, Let us make man in our image." The Bible qualifies the statement. It forbids man to partake in the forbidden fruit from the tree of good and evil. The tree of knowledge is considered divine providence-that is, for those authorities other authorities choose to judge. God's earthly vicars inform us that by the first man and woman on earth disobeying God's command, all men are born in sin. And furthermore, unless we do certain things God's vicars tell us to do, we will suffer eternal damnation. Essentially, not trusting our own judgement, we've always looked to outside guidance. Unfortunately, it comes down to "holy war," attempts to determine whose god is the most powerful.

The story of my life tells a different truth. I decided to cut away from the establishment. My departure was total. I left my business, my family, the place where I'd lived all my life. I went to sea for two years, where it was only me and nature. I conquered all that nature threw at me. When I returned, to my credit, I'd saved seven lives, including my own. Would this not give you faith in yourself beyond the authorities' limited faith? When I departed I was disillusioned. If it gets any better now, I don't know it.

I can only speak for myself. You have to take my word for it. There is no other way to know. How many would take my word over the world's authorities, who have electronic marvels to trumpet their causes? I have personal experience to prove my theory-that I have within me God's power. I have scientific proof to back me. However, it is not backed by hard evidence. Take note, though,  that the authorities maintain  "circumstantial evidence" is good enough to condemn us to prison or death. Our lives are not as sacred as the laws the mighty impose. We allow all manner of exceptions for this or that reason. It does not add up to the truth. It adds up to expedience.

Like the newspaper editor said, how does he know my ideas work? To be sure, the establishment ideas do not work. In that the news media refuses to print my ideas, people have little faith in their ideas. They don't believe they are made in the image of their maker. Throughout history, we've obeyed man's corrupt lead, and, what comes around goes around.

The above picture is of our new home.

An aging neighbor, who is confined to a wheel chair, told me that she and her husband's drug cost is $645 per month. Their Social Security income is $1500 per month. They would have to pay over a hundred dollars a month for supplemental to their Medicare. Their food bill is $40 per month. (The balance is given to them by some charitable organization in canned goods and dried foods.) My neighbor pays the same fee that we pay for their home site of $550 per month. They have been living in the same site 18 years. The rent just went up $50 per month. The park management has told this couple that they must make repairs to their home, or, I assume, be evicted. They have no savings. I would not be surprised if they are forced out . They exist on a wing and a prayer.

Not many aging Americans live as well as we live. The government wheel of fortune has allowed this 82 year-old a fine new home. Both my wife's and my health care, including drugs, is free. At least for a time, we have no financial worries.

The American people have opted for cradle to grave security. The political candidates for president, with no workable solutions, are talking in platitudes and playing the blame game. It is hard for me, an entrepreneur, to imagine why so many Americans at least are tacitly opposed to free enterprise.

I was in the wholesale lumber business from 1950 to 1975. The Nixon Administration, a friend of big business, established price controls that favored big business at the expense of family owned businesses. By 1975, I was out of business. In the 1980s, I invested in rental property. In the interest of fairness, the federal government eliminated what it considered favorable tax treatment to commercial property owners. In as much as commercial property is priced according to its income, it dropped by an average of 20 percent. At the same time, my property taxes doubled. With the value of my commercial property below what I owed, I let my lender have it. There went my savings, when I was retirement age. A lot of other commercial property investors let their lenders have their properties. Most of the properties were government insured. It cost the taxpayers $500 billion.

The housing market started going up in the 1990s. With our life savings largely gone, we were saved by selling our home for more than double what we paid for it. We retired, bought an RV, and hit the road. Our thought was visit all the wonderful scenery of the Northwest, and to find a suitable location for a retired couple to land. We lowered our landing gear in Shady Cove, Oregon. The problem was that the price of homes had tripled. We didn't have the money to buy home. We remained living in our RV until the Veteran's Administration declared me disabled as a result of a World War II injury.

The point I'd like to make is that had the government not taken it upon itself to manipulate the economy, I would have retired from the lumber business at least 30 later than I did. I wouldn't have needed government help.

After my lumber business income vanished, my wife and I divorced. I went to Florida and started over. My first job was working in a boat yard at little pay. I had a net operating loss carry-back tax refund coming. Moreover, the IRS had mistakenly billed me for double the tax I owed. I had filed a petition in the U.S. Tax Court. The IRS refused to give me my rightful refund unless and until I dropped my legal action. My meager pay was not enough, after my withholding tax, to pay my rent. I was locked out of my apartment.

I informed my representatives in Washington of the IRS lawlessness. Senator Lawton Chiles wrote me that he received more complaints from taxpayers than all his other complaints put together. To this day, the IRS is free to make unlimited mistakes. Congress is free to charge taxpayers anything it wants in income tax, up to 100 percent of income. Woe be unto the taxpayer who either will not or cannot pay his income tax. There is no acceptable excuse to not pay the tax, even to a bare existence.

The Bush Administration, and the FED, have the same idea. Bush is buddy-buddy with the Fed. Home ownership is good, both reason, neither knowing whether they are afoot or horseback. The price of homes continued to soar, thanks to government ignorance. Con artists, largely mortgage brokers, allowed people who should not be allowed to own homes, because they can't afford them to buy a home. They allowed them to borrow the down payment. They allowed them to borrow their high fees. They allowed them to borrow the interest for three years. They, including the Bush Administration and FED, never asked a question. In one case I read about, the day a jailbird was released, with no job to go to, he borrowed the money to buy a home. The idea of the powers that be was that it did not matter if they lost their homes. When the day of reckoning came in three years, the value increase in the home would pay the cost. What it amounts to is willful negligence.

Actually, we don't have anyone representing us. It's every man for himself; do unto others before they do unto you. Sodom and Gomorrah had nothing on America. The die is cast. We've made too many mistakes.

"We" is you and I. The powers that be are where they want to be. Were I drunk with power, the best thing for me would be for everyone to be totally dependent on me---with no way to exist without my "help." The best way to make this happen would be to bankrupt America, morally, spiritually, and fiscally.

The real power is not in Washington. The American people don't finance politicians' hundreds of millions of dollars political campaigns. Very few determine who is elected. They are the world''s multi-billionaires. They pay lobbyists. They finance elections. They make war at will. They create linepoverty at will. They buy governments. I don't waist my time on politicians. They are puppets.

Bent on cradle to grave security, the American people have sold out for a pittance. I'm informed that observation creates reality. I observe a mindless monster turned loose on the American people.

Over the years America's income tax has become a can of worms. It finances a mindless monster. In Dick Morris' Fleeced, I read about two military people who blew the whistle on the fraudulent taking of taxpayer money in Iraq. The two were placed in solitary confinement in the same prison where Saddam spent his last days. They were deprived of food and water. They were made miserable and grilled daily, the same as terrorists. It is well known that whistle blowers on the United States are punished. Big money and political corruption have taken over. The sensible solution is the income tax replaced with a tax on spending and government entitlements fazed out. Everyone should be encouraged to revere the entrpreneurial spirit.

Instead of giving billionaires a tax break no one else gets---they invest other peoples money; if they profit they get to call their profit capital gain and pay 15 percent on income they should pay 35 percent on. Does this sound Republican. Wrong! It is the Democrat majority that protects America's biggest income producers, who are financing their elections. After the election, they will likely rant and rave about it.

I recommend that you read Fleeced. Dick Morris concludes: "The American people deserve more transparency and accountability from our leaders." I don't agree that we should email the foxes watching over the henhouse. My answer is one on one communication. An informed electorate is the only way to go.

Thanks to Gaia Community's support, I've decided to write the story of my life. I've learned a lot about my life's destiny in writing these blogs. They are an intro to The Making of New Age Man. Many thanks. May peace be with you.
