The Peacemaker

When I was born my moon was in Virgo. We read in Meenakshi's post in "The Power of Light:" "The soulful, peacemaking Pisces Sun opposes the scientific, nature-based healing Virgo Moon. . . Virgo understands the oneness of all life through the physical realities of cosmology, mathematics and physics. In Virgo's world, holiness is achieved through transcendent embodiment, and from this state of embodied awareness one can heal almost any malady. . . Virgo understands the oneness of all life through the physical realities of cosmology, mathematics and physics."

I invite you to my Profile Page. Gaia says I'm connected. I say I'm the peacemaker. In my profile, you read how I'm connected and why we are all connected.

P.S. I read in my Astrologer's Handbook that "Pisces is a sensitive sign and those born under it are extremely responsive to the thoughts and feelings of others. They unconsciously absorb the ideas and mental outlook of those around them."

"They desperately want to do the right thing, but as a rule they do not have strong willpower. Therefore, they are easily influenced by external factors. They must learn to stand alone and face the unknown with simple faith."

It's a must that Piceans read my profile. One of these days they could find themselves in a world they don't know.

An Afterthought:

And now another thought comes to mind. I've been made aware that there are growing numbers of extraterrestrials here, and they like hanging around the U.S. military's nuclear facilities. The military doesn't talk about it. We have corroborating eye witness reports on the military's hidden hardware of aliens, as well as alien bodies. We have reports on how the military has cleverly slipped alien technology into America's production facilities, items such as microchips and fiber optics. There are numerous reports of inexplicable livestock mutilations, numerous reports of alien abductions. Add up all the evidence and it is easy to suspect there is wheeling and dealing going on with aliens, of course, for the nation's security. It reminds me of Congress and the Administrations of George Bush and Barrack Obama, Wall Street, Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac, and the banks doing their best to help the economy grow. It all connects with Pisces, the age of authoritarianism and weak willed populations easily influenced by external factors. We are leaving that age-moving into the Age of Aquarius.

I was born with Aquarius on my ascendant. I'm Aquarius rising. Here's what Astrologer's Handbook says about Aquarians. "Individuals born under the sign of brotherhood and fraternity have as their symbol the water-bearer, who spills out to mankind the life-force and spiritual energy. Since the planet Uranus rules Aquarius, friendship and companionship are extremely important to Aquarians. Those who Aquarians befriend have their unswerving loyalty. Born under a fixed sign, Aquarians have eccentric temperaments and are determined and stubborn. They sometimes feel that those who are listening to them are unreceptive and incapable of comprehending their ideas, and they tend to become annoyed when people fail to understand them." WOW!

The Proverbial Bridge to Nowhere (Continued 3)

http://inlink.gaia.com — Wed, 18 Mar 2009 20:37:22 GMT

I decided to discontinue writing blogs and spend my efforts on discussion groups. I posted the following thoughts on The Power of Light group.

"Helping others help themselves is the reason I'm a member of the Gaia Community. With this in mind, "Everything begins in the mind," you can't beat experience. I've been around 83 years. My education has been in the school of hard knocks. I've found my bliss. If life could be any better, I don't know how."

"Many of my Gaia friends call themselves progressives, the idea being that we've progressed since the founders of American principles wrote the Constitution."

"Indeed, we have progressed, in fact so much that we don't need authorities to direct our lives. The proof is there of how it all comes together. The idea behind the Constitution goes back to the Roman jurist Cicero."

"In his De Legibus, Cicero, identifying "right reason" with those qualities of human nature whereby "man is associated with the gods," he assigns the binding quality of civil law itself to its being in harmony with such universal attributes of human nature. Cicero asserts that "we are born for justice, and right is not the mere arbitrary construction of opinion, but an institution of nature. (This thought comes from The ‘Higher Law' Background of American Constitutional Law.)"

"There are some principles that don't change. It is fine to be progressive as along as you keep in mind that you can't change the laws of nature."

"Not many understand quantum physics. Quantum physics takes the universe apart and examines the pieces. We are forced to admit that in the mix you cannot leave out consciousness. Says quantum physicist, Evan Harris Walker, in The Physics of Consciousness, under "A God for Tomorrow," "We have discovered proof that we exist as something more than pieces of matter. In the development of quantum theory, the observer emerges as a co-equal in the foundry of creation."

"Therefore, if you say we've progressed beyond the principles written in the Constitution, you are really limiting yourself to the past authoritarian ages. I refer you to Genises 1:26: "And God said, Let us make man in our image." St. Augustine said: "Distinguish the ages, and the Scriptures harmonize." The progressive order of the universe, and how it deals with humanity, leaves us with increasing purpose which runs through and links together the ages, from the beginning of the life of man to the end in eternity. (This thought in the introduction of my Scofield Reference Bible.)"

"Existentialist Nietzsche wondered if God made a mistake in man or man made a mistake in God. If you think there is no god, you are denying that you exist in a state of limitless awareness. Reverend Scofield in the introduction to his Bible wrote: ‘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.'"

"If you look to the authorities for help, whether they be religious or secular, you are helping them, not yourself. When I was age 49, I decided to ignore the authorities and help myself. From that point on, when everything should have gone wrong, everything went right."

I've since not been able to post anything to The Power of Light group. My posts are not accepted. Could it be that someone doesn't like my thoughts?

My Comment on "The Age of Aquarius: Are You Ready"

"Would you like to hear my tale about when the moon is in the Seventh House? Interestingly, when I was born, Aquarius was on my Ascendant, the point at which the eastern horizon intersects the ecliptic. (In astrology, everything is Pythagorean geometrics.) Aquarius is in my First House, the "I AM THAT I AM" house, the God-self house, if you will. In this location, it is called my "rising sign," when the sun rose on my life on planet Earth. In that the sun travels across the surface of Earth at approximately 900 m.p.h., in order to know my rising sign, an astrologer must know where I was born and the exact time of my birth. I was born in Houston, Texas on September 17, 1925 at 4:51 P.M.C.S.T. No question about it. I'm Aquarius rising."

"Out of eleven signs, one for Fire, one for Air, I've five earth signs, meaning practicality, and four water signs, meaning psychic quality. I've two Cardinal Signs meaning realistic grasp of the situation. I've four Fixed Signs, meaning perseverance, and five Mutable Signs, meaning flexible. My Sun was in the sign of Virgo when I was born. My Sun, Mars, Moon and Mercury were in my Seventh House when I was born making me a double Virgo. Also, in that the Seventh House is the house of partners, partners would be most important in my life. Unfortunately, Neptune was on the cusp of my Seventh House. This would make for misunderstandings in partnerships. After three unsuccessful marriages, after I found my real self and my path of destiny, mysteriously, when the moon was in my Seventh House, my soul mate for life appeared. In the song, Aquarius,

When the moon is in the Seventh House,
and Jupiter aligns with Mars,
Then peace will guide the planets,
And love will steer the stars."

"We note that peace will guide us, not the planets. Love will guide us, not the stars. What guides the stars? Love and peace are aspects of our human nature, the immaterial essence of our being, our animating principle or actuating cause of life: our souls."

"Given the way I view my world, it so happens that in the month and year of my birth, Werner Heisenberg published his uncertainty principle. Heisenberg was the father of quantum mechanics, and Hitler's atom bomb builder. I was born at the dawn of the atomic age."

"At the time of this writing, with Saturn in its worst aspect with Pluto, meaning "a widespread sense of epochal closure: ‘the end of an era,' ‘the end of innocence,' 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." This says Richard Tarnas in Cosmos and Psyche.

"You can guess that I would hold it very important at this scary time to understand the real meaning of progressive, as distinguished from political progressive. "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. Augustine said: ‘Distinguish the ages, and the Scriptures harmonize." Rev. C.I. Scofield wrote this in the Introduction of The Scofield Reference Bible.

"Speaking to the political progressive, biologist Julian Huxley, in his essay, The Future of Man, explains our increasing purpose with ,"Man's exploration and control of external nature has outdone his exploration and control of his own nature." Look within for your answers. You can see from my chart that any notion that we are mechanical men, and that we can be taught to jump through authority's hoops, would set me off. Nero fiddles while Rome burns. For shame, America!"

"An examination of my astrological chart has amazed me. There are too many coincidences to be called coincidence. My examination further finds that I did not for the first 49 years of my life adhere to the positive aspects in my chart, by reason that my ruling planet, Uranus, was opposed to Mars when I was born. I was one of the victims of circumstances blaming my bad luck on other people. By the time I was in my 40s, Uranus had transited to a position opposite its position when I was born. I would be under pressure to change. And change I did. When I was 49, with my business career on the rocks and my second wife divorcing me, this God-self departed from my old life. I went to sea on a small boat. There was nothing but the sea, the heavens, and me. At the same time, a tiny speck, I was the only living entity in the scene. I learned the power that existed in me. The inexplicable occurred during my time at sea."

Wouldst thou know the secret of the sea?
Only those who brave its dangers,
Comprehend its mystery.

Henry Wadsworth Longfellow

"A couple of years before my departure, heading for my rebirth (I've now the soul of an Aquarian), I had a "bigger than life calling." I determined that federal income tax, as it was being implemented, was unconstitutional. My determination got me an IRS audit. Interestingly, in 1925, the year of my birth, the IRS was authorized to examine personal income records, a first step in making us all tax slaves. Now wouldn't you know that the IRS examination of my income records found that I was cheating? They took my bate, hook, line, and sinker. I was ready for the IRS. Their audit resulted in an 11 year legal battle. The U.S. income tax code is so ambiguous and deliberately corrupt that if the IRS chooses to it can find any taxpayer cheating. In the end, the IRS admitted on the front page of the Local Section of The Palm Beach Post that it had illegally (and unconstitutionally) robbed me of my property in the interest of the government's redistribution scheme; that is, a New Deal of cards off the bottom of the deck. I was kept out of sight out of mind while the IRS did its dirty work, while judges looked the other way. So much for transparent government."

"The United States admitted to the world that it deliberately and unconstitutionally robbed me of my property for 11 years. (They called it a "mistake.") And there was not a peep from anyone. Why? Because taxpayers know very well that the courts look the other way when government abuses the taxpayer. You people of color can tell us that we cannot expect to be free when we don't demand our rights."

"We should all know that government is not our keeper; it's our taskmaster. Once the horse is out of the gate, as history records, out of expedience, there is no telling what government will do. We are now witness to the United States placing an astronomical burden of debt on generations of future taxpayers. Next, out of expedience, it will be concentration camps. As history records, government will not give up control until forced to."

"Interestingly, on July 4, 1776, the day the representatives of the American people signed the Declaration of Independence, thereby signing their death warrants if England's King George ever got his hands on them, the United States was born under the sign of Aquarius. The sign of Aquarius says, ‘Don't fence me in.'"

"In view of the direction the United States is steering the ship of state, it is interesting to note that we are now moving from the Age of Pisces into the Age of Aquarius. The symbol for Pisces is two fish swimming in opposite directions. The symbol for Aquarius is the water-bearer of humanity. As previously mentioned, at this particular time, starting in the month and year that Barrack Obama was elected president of the United States, November 2008, Saturn went into its most unfavorable alignment with Pluto, and at a time when the world is sitting on a powder keg. In this connection, in the month and year of my birth, September, 1925, Werner Heisenberg published his uncertainty principle, the forerunner of quantum mechanics. Heisenberg was Hitler's atom bomb builder. Iran will soon have the atom bomb. I was born at the dawn of the atomic age. It could all soon end with humanity history written in the rocks. America is heading for the proverbial Battle of Armageddon."

"But take heart, my Gaia friends! Every cause produces an effect. There will be a contraction in government, a conservative reaction the likes of which the world has never before seen. This will be followed with a crossing of the threshold into the Age of Aquarius. All of the customs, laws, and religions will succumb to the "Higher Law" of nature and nature's "God.," For-When the moon is in the Seventh House, and Jupiter aligns with Mars, Then peace will guide the planets, And love will steer the stars. Aquarius! Aquarius!

I joined the "Now I Can See the Moon" discussion group. I introduced myself with this:

"In my chart, My Sun, Moon, Mars, and Mercury are in my Seventh House, the house of partners. It makes partners the most important in my life. In the song Aquarius,

When the moon is in the Seventh House,
And Jupiter aligns with Mars,
Then peace will guide the planets,
And love will steer the stars."
"With Neptune on the cusp of my Seventh House, it means I would be susceptible to misunderstanding in partnership matters. When I departed Flower Mound, at age 49, I was divorcing my second wife. The divorce trial was on September 8, 1975. I did well. We had just passed the new moon in the Seventh House, which correlates with legal action. That was a positive for me. My Sun in the Ninth House was a positive. My astrologer named other positives. But the big plus for me was "the part of fortune in my chart." My astrologer told me this indicated that there is a potential to gain from people who are secretly working against me.
During my time at sea, I married my first mate. She wasn't meant to be my mate ashore. She left me. Two weeks after she left, my fourth wife appeared. When the moon is in the Seventh House love will steer the stars. In other words, our consciousness is in touch with cosmic consciousness, which steers the stars. By the way, my transiting Jupiter opposed Venus in my Eighth House on April 4, 1976, the day I met my third wife. My astrologer had warned me to guard against that. Venus represents a women I might meet on April 4th. It's a minus, he told me."

On the first date with my fourth wife, a hike in the mountains near Mt. Saint Helens, on May 18, 1980, we were sitting on a log chatting when Karen said. "I want our's to be a platonic relationship." At that very moment, we were made aware of the eruption. I think of it as a symbol-after a calamity, hope and renewal. Later, I asked Karen why she said that. She didn't know. "It just popped out."

"Fifteen years later, a friend gave Karen an "Astrological Compatibility" printout he had produced from a program in his computer. In it I read, "Your relationship with Karen, the platonic thing was there from the start, and there is a sense of the brotherly and sisterly between you. Even if lovers, you will always be, first and foremost, good friends." The moment I met Karen, I had the feeling I was meeting an old friend I'd not seen for a long time."

"Believe or disbelieve that we're directly in communication with cosmic consciousness. It isn't any wonder to me that I can say if life could be any better, I don't know how?

God bless you

I was invited to add more of my input, so here's what I added to "Now I Can See the Moon."

"Yea, I see the moon, but let's discuss our guilt trip. When we look at the moon, we're looking at a body reflecting the sun's light. When we zoom out, we see the moon circling our water planet, a living organism; it allows life as we know it to flourish. So, let us zoom in on Mother Earth. By the sun's light, we see that Mother Earth is ill and we're the cause."

"We know how we make our lives happen. When I reached the age of sexual awareness, my parents handed me a book that said if I even thought about sex I was committing a mortal sin. This idea comes from the story in the Holy Bible of Adam and Eve. When they ate from the Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil, they looked at their naked bodies and were ashamed. They covered themselves with fig leaves. The result: We are born in sin. How outrageous can we get?
In one of Aesop's Fables, we learn about the old woman who killed the goose that laid the golden egg. Fables teach us morals. The story of Adam and Eve was told by ancient authority, which wanted to control us, rather than though reason and logic, through guilt. How often do you do something, or not do something, out of the guilty feeling you know you would have if you did or did not do it? Think of the times you were titillated to do something forbidden that you knew would make you feel guilty. When I was fourteen, I lost my virginity. If I'd have gone to the church authority, by God's grace, I could have been forgiven for committing a mortal sin. I forgave myself and continued having sex every chance I got. Too many of us, all because of authority's efforts to control us, forgive ourselves and assume the freedom to do all manner of wrongs. The human beings I was using for my own pleasure were none of my concern. What I was doing was legal. If the girls I used let me have what I wanted out of love, that was their problem. What does it tell us when the President of the United States has sex in the Oval Office? Look at the representation we have in Washington, D.C. and weep! What if we were educated to be aware of the very real consequences of the freedom I gave myself? I was lucky. I could have gotten myself into a heap of trouble."

"In the introduction of my Scofield Reference Bible, I read this: ‘All of the connected topical lines of reference end in analytic summaries of the whole teaching of Scripture on that subject, thus guarding the reader against hasty generalizations from a few passages or proof texts. 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.' A moral pertains to principle-the right thing to do. The guilt trip pertains to an attempt play on the emotions for the purpose of external control."

"Poor old Mother Earth! The story of Adam and Eve was put in the Bible as a misrepresentation for the purpose of control. Religious zealots reading isolated passages of Scripture rationalize their murderous acts and start holy wars. The winner is more holy than thou. Because we refuse to admit the truth of the matter, we are heading toward making ourselves history written in the rocks-killing the living organism cosmic consciousness put here for our growth and development.
A more complete understanding of the workings of the universe tells us there are immutable laws of motion, but there are happenings as a result of cosmic consciousness, of which we are capable of being aware. Such awareness makes us self-governed; we don't need self-serving external authority directing our lives. It's the guilt trip that makes us victims of external control. The world's authorities merely address the problems they create. Mother Earth is sick.."

"We find now that Mother Earth is moving away from the Age of Pisces, an age of authoritarian control, and into the Age of Aquarius. We Aquarians are independent, resourceful, self-reliant, and personally responsible. This is a transitory time. I'm pleased to report that we are heading toward the realization of our full potential."

The Moderator, KES said "We are not talking of the moon literally. It is an analogy. I may move this thing written as this section is introductions. I will read and decide where to put it.
I know I am going to move this conversation and will write to you personally." After reading my piece, KES said: "Talking of sex and dead moon I couldn't think with the intention and generalities and moved this here if you care to explain. Otherwise we run a very clean ethical group and I keep it that way."

KES called my piece, "talking sex and dead moon," this thing, as though it was a piece of stinking, profane garbage.

My reply: "Now I can see the moon," is not a monologue, is it? I mean, we all see the moon in our own way. The substance of ethical is that it be sanctioned, or at any rate not forbidden. How can we at the same time be "very clean;" that is, ignoring evil, and be "ethical." ‘I couldn't think?' Isn't that the problem? If you could be more explicit, perhaps I could better explain my intention. Otherwise, "we" (the general population) can assume ‘very clean' means we live in La La Land, something on the order of the Garden of Eden. We dare not partake of the forbidden fruit. One of these days, millions of people are going to wake up, and like children put out on their own, find they are living in a world they don't know. Look within and ask yourself, "Am I one of those?"

KES: "Very well put. Just know we have teens on this site and it is up to the group to set a good example. Thanks so much for the understanding. Just looking at the elephant from all of our own viewpoints, hm... some are different and that is ok. My viewpoint is in La La Land LOL!!! Thanks for bringing that out. We still regardless do have a moral code and ethics for this site and as mods reserve the right to have in this group what we feel is also all right for the greatest good of the group."

"We feel!" We don't think. What is unclean or unethical about what I wrote, or something teenagers should not read? Millions, like KES, are living in La La Land, looking to self-serving authorities to lead their way. Because they are afraid and clinging to the past, the world has passed them by, left them in a cloud of dust. And like Pied Pipers, the feeling, non-thinking people, living in La La Land, lead children on a Bridge to Nowhere.

KES put me on the dark side of the moon. I've a question for Gaia's management. If you click on Gaia in the upper left corner, Gaia's mission appears on your screen. What is it in my philosophy, as far as Gaia is concerned, that puts me on the dark side of the moon?

The Proverbial Bridge to Nowhere (Continued1)

http://inlink.gaia.com — Fri, 13 Mar 2009 17:41:35 GMT

Circumstances made America's Founding Fathers closer to Nature's God than today's American. "To assume among the Powers of Earth," published in Congress in a declaration on July 4, 1776, "the separate and equal Station to which the Laws of Nature and of Nature's God entitle them"-the American people, rather than government entitled, were entitled, in the beginning, according to the Founding Fathers, to the Laws of Nature and Nature's God. Today it is man's law, the same as has been throughout recorded history. It has always, in the final analysis, gotten back to that.

We are now leaving the Age of Pisces, the symbol of which is two fish swimming in opposite directions (not unlike the present plight of the American people). We are entering the Age of Aquarius. By the way, on July 4, 1776, the birth of America was under the sign of Aquarius, the symbol of which is the water-bearer to humanity, a far cry of where we are at this point in America's history. Hardly the water-bearers of the world, we've lost sight of America's values and principles.

Putting it all together, material abundance has diverted the American people's, and their representatives, attention from the principles held by America's Founding Fathers. Indeed, it is now held by the U.S. Supreme Court that the people's Constitution should be interpreted "in light of today's needs," according to our judges, in spite of the fact that those principles held by the Founding Fathers predated history.

Where has our judges' interpretation of the people's Constitution gotten us? There is no hope left for the individual under the present authority. We're on the bridge to nowhere. Material abundance has diverted attention away from symbols the world's greatest prophets have employed to predict the future. The September 11, 2001 destruction of the World Trade Center and the loss of thousands of lives should stand as a meaningful symbol of what is to come, the battle to end all battles, the Battle of Armageddon. Instead, the event has been twisted and distorted so it has no meaning. America, as we knew her, is a sinking ship. Who knows where the fickle finger of fate will point next. I'm guessing China. At the present rate, America will be a slave state, her people under the control of a ruthless dictatorship.

In Cosmos and Psyche, authored by Richard Tarnas, distinguished philosopher and cultural historian, we read that when Pluto and Saturn are in unfavorable alignment, "an atmosphere of gravity and tension tended to accompany these three-to-four-year periods as did a widespread sense of 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." Pluto and Saturn went into unfavorable alignment in November 2008, the month Barrack Obama was elected President of the United States.

Going back to Nature's God, in that we are created with intelligence and love I can tell you there is no reward in life as great as loving and being loved. God so loved us that he gave his only son. The cross is a symbol the dogmas and doctrines of the church have corrupted. In John 1:5-8, Jesus said, "I am the vine, ye are the branches: He that abideth in me, and I in him, the same bringeth forth much fruit: for without me you can do nothing. If a man abideth not in me , he is cast forth as a branch, and is withered; and men gather them into the fire, and they are burned. If ye abide in me, and my words abide in you, ye shall ask what ye will, and it will be done unto you."

I'm a believer in Jesus, not the church. The church is bricks, mortar, and power seekers who want us to feel guilty if we don't do religion's bidding. That's the meaning of the September 11^th event. That's the meaning of war. Wars are fought to gain power over the individual. Speaking symbolically, to cast out Jesus makes you a branch that withers and men burn. The symbol Jesus left the world remains alive. In my life, everything is in divine order. Jesus is the symbol of peace and good will.

In Evan Harris Walker's The Physics of Consciousness, under "A God for Tomorrow," we read, "Mankind has traveled a long way in the search to understand reality. We have looked deeply at ourselves, and our religions, and at our science. We have looked at what we are made of and looked at our origins. Beginning with the myths and superstitions of antiquity, we have followed a path of discovery into the modern age of scientific understanding, and we have helped to open the door to new realms of science."

"We still hunger to find some god that we can know. . . Is God a personal god? Was there a resurrection of Christ? And where is the soul? " I know I've been reborn the person I was meant to be. America is on a bridge to nowhere because America is in denial.

Says Walker: "We find that what we had thought was an independent and objective physical world is in fact contingent on the observer, on our combined consciousness, in a most basic way. And it follows that the God we find must be a personal God."

"But it has only been with the advent of quantum theory that we have discovered proof that we exist as something more than pieces of matter. In the development of quantum theory, the observer emerges as a co-equal in the foundry of creation. . . 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."

In spite of our technology, we've failed to advance in our thinking. Speaking of symbols, I was born on September 17, 1925 at 4:21 P.M. C.S.T. in Houston, Texas. Look me up. You will find that this makes me Virgo with Aquarius Rising. Aquarius was on my Ascendant when I was born. Four of my planets were in my Seventh House, the house of partners, which makes partners the most important thing in my life. In the song, Aquarius, When the moon is in the Seventh House,
and Jupiter aligns with Mars,
Then peace will guide the planets,
And love will steer the stars.

An amazing thing in my life. I was led to my soul mate. It was like meeting an old friend I'd not seen for a long time. On our first date, a hike in the mountains near Mt. St. Helens, on May 18, 1980, Mt. St. Helens erupted, the symbol of which is after the calamity, hope and renewal, the same for the September 11^th event, the same for the crucifixion of Christ, and the same in my own life.

We were sitting on a log chatting. Karen said a strange thing. "I want our's to be a platonic relationship." Karen doesn't know why she said that. Fifteen years later, a friend gave Karen an astrological compatibility printout he made from a program in his computer. In it I read, "The platonic thing was there from the start, and there is a sense of the brotherly and sisterly between you. Even if lovers, you will always be first and foremost, good friends." How could that be? Karen and I are spiritually united, connected with the superconsciousness of the universe. .

In Jeanne Avery's, The Rising Sign, under "Aquarius Rising," "he may be the person to bring back information that has been lost to civilization for centuries. 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 the 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."

While we find Saturn now in unfavorable alignment with Pluto, we find in Astrologer's Handbook, authored by Francis Sakioan and Louis S. Acker, that with my Saturn trine Pluto when I was born, "This trine gives the natives the ability to understand the laws by which subtle forces are organized, enabling them to see these laws consciously or unconsciously. They are able to work slowly and make fundamental and irrevocable changes in their own and others' lives. Often there is a sense of destiny or a peculiar karmic mission which they must fulfill. This is one of the most profound of aspects."

Astrologer James Redfield, author of The Celestine Prophecy, for $25, sent me an informational audio tape on my astrology, as follows:

"We are going to take a look at two key aspects of your astrological data, your Sun sign and your Moon sign. "We are going to talk about them archetypically. The emotional issue is pointed out by your Moon sign-how this feels as you go through life-talk about your Sun sign-again archetypically-how you naturally uplift people, to give you some good information as you try to find out what your spiritual mission is."

Speaking archetypically, "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."

Speaking archetypically, my Mercury is in Virgo. In Astrologer's Handbook, we read, "Mercury in Virgo is the sign of its rulership, a position indicating an analytical mind and great practical reasoning ability."

Speaking archetypically, when Uranus, my ruling planet, had transited from my birth to a position opposing itself, this indicated a change in my life. In March, 1975, I departed from my old life. I went to sea on a 37 foot sloop I named Bold Venture. When it was only me, the sea, and the heavens, I found my path of destiny.

In Numerology and The Divine Triangle, by Faith Javane and Dusty Bunker, for my "life lesson number," I'm given the number 7. "You are here to use and to develop your mind. . . 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." I've been the "rolling stone that gathers no moss," but I've finally found the perfect home in the tall timber 30 miles east of Mt. Hood, Oregon.

For my "path of destiny," I've been given the number 7. "You psychically separate the true from the false and can discover and reveal some of the mysteries of life to a waiting world. You should become the thinker, the philosopher, the scientist, the mystic or the religious zealot whose destiny is the mind."

Archetypically, we exist in a state of awareness, and unlimited. In Genesis 1:26, 27, we read, "Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth. So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them." In the introduction of the Scofield Reference Bible, we read that we are here with increasing purpose. Saint Augustine said: "Distinguish the ages, and the Scriptures harmonize."

Going from one point to another is both quantitative and qualitative. The Bridge to Nowhere is quantitative: external. Unfortunately, both quantitatively and qualitatively, the American people are getting nowhere. Biologist Julian Huxley, in his essay The Future of Man, tells us, "Man's exploration and control of external nature has outdone his exploration and control of his own nature."

Having learned life's lesson myself the hard way, looking at our future, I predict that the individual will emerge sooner or later Aquarian in nature: independent, altruistic, and spiritual.

The Proverbial Bridge to Nowhere (continued)

http://inlink.gaia.com — Mon, 09 Mar 2009 16:05:51 GMT

According to Linda Brady's Discovering Your Soul Mission, this generation's soul pattern is Aquarius; that is, the thing we are here to overcome: too detached and detracted, too oblivious, too intolerant, too repressed and impersonal, too irrational to move ahead. Brady gives this generation's soul potential Leo. Leo is the most dominant, an extravert with a grand manner. Leo is the monarch, the king of the beasts, the lion. America struts its stuff around the world, heading us to the Battle of Armageddon.

The ancient Mayans were astronomers. They knew the sun was at the center of our solar system hundreds of years before Galileo proved it with his telescope. The ancient Greeks knew Earth was a sphere. They knew Earth circled the sun and the reason for climate changes. They knew the smallest building block of the universe was the atom. The ancient sages of India reasoned so is the microcosm, so is the macrocosm. For thousands of years man has known that the cosmos tells us about our human characteristics.

There is much evidence that extraterrestrials have been either visiting planet Earth for thousands of years, or perhaps here long before we were here. We could have been genetically engineered.

It is estimated that there have been two million alien abductions. It is inexplicable that we are the only life form on the planet with the capability of knowing far more than other life forms about how it all comes together. Interestingly, the ape is the only animal that can look in a mirror and know it is looking at itself. I would think that in order to be aware of very much, it would be pretty important to be aware of self. Self-awareness is the basis of being human, and it is not limited.

The Mayan calendar is like the odometer on your car. When all the numbers are at the number nine, the odometer goes back to all zeros. As we move forward, the process begins again, and unlike anything you've ever known before. The cutting edge of science, from its study of the smallest excitations, has found that there are many dimensions that go to make the universe. There is a dimension of infinite possibility. That which we observe becomes our reality. Our reality is limited to how much we observe (and how fearful we are of change).

All things considered, the American people are here to overcome being too detached and detracted, too oblivious, too intolerant, too repressed and impersonal, too irrational to move ahead. The American people now have a government, for one thing, keeping secret, as much as possible, the undeniable fact that U.F.O.s are real. For another thing, in this transient period, the unwillingness of government to give up control-the Picean influence-there is an urgent drive, through redistribution of America's wealth (to help the needy)-to keep the American people as dependent as possible on government-and for as long as possible-with excessive indebtedness.

Too bad, so sad. At the end of 2012, we all begin again-the same as before, all with an equal opportunity, but not with equal results. The odometer goes to all zeros in 2012, coincidentally, at the end of Barrack Obama's term of office. People say, "give Obama a chance." All things considered, not only am I on the bridge to nowhere with my arguments, America is on the bridge to nowhere.

P.S. Having said this, on a more pleasant note, now I'm going to practice my music. After the calamity my life had become, I found hope and renewal. At this late date, I've found my bliss in the tall timber 30 miles east of Mt. Hood. According to my stars, I'm where I'm supposed to spend the rest of my days.

My daughter gave me a guitar. I've learned to play it and sing to a background of my keyboard songs I've recorded. I'd like to share some of my music I've posted on isound.com., and especially for you, Whispering Hope.

Correction

http://inlink.gaia.com — Fri, 06 Mar 2009 19:58:45 GMT

From Linda Brady's Discovering Your Soul: How to Use Karmic Astrology to Create the Life You Want, I made a mistake on Barrack Obama's soul pattern. It is Aquarius, the same as mine. One's soul pattern is from a former life. I was wrong to say Obama betrayed his soul pattern.

Barrack Obama was born in a generation whose soul pattern was under the sign of Aquarius. His soul potential was Leo. Those born in my generation, the same as Obama, had the soul pattern of Aquarius when born. The same as Obama's generation, the soul potential in my generation was Leo. The soul pattern in the sign of Aquarius has the following energies: overly logical, too detached, too detracted, oblivious, intolerant, meddlesome, remote, repressed, impersonal, radical. The karmic mission is to overcome these energies. In one's soul potential, the energies for Leo are as follows: whimsical, self-confident, leader, dramatic, generous, fun-loving, courageous, commanding, exuberant, inspiring, dignified, influential, willing to act. Obviously, Obama has lived up to his soul potential far better than have I.

Obama's Mercury is in Cancer. He sees the world through the eyes of an emotionally sensitive cosmic nurturer and mother. Obama is a sensitive listener, always paying close attention to his emotional environment. If what he hears doesn't match with his emotions, he often ignores. There are moments when Obama can lose his emotional identity because of his highly developed empathy to others, leaving him contradictory.

Obama comes from a generation in which Pluto was in Virgo. Brady says Obama was a God-like healer, well ordered and structured. Everyone needed Obama. He could do no wrong. Obama's mission was to be a perfect healer, but one day he did something imperfect. He made a mistake that cost someone his life, someone who had placed his trust in Obama. Terror in making a mistake, no matter how small, keeps Obama overly cautious. Guilt also creates a strong need to do service, but he does not derive any satisfaction from it unless he performs flawlessly. Poor Obama! His Mercury is in Cancer.

My Mercury is in Virgo. I perceive the world through the eyes of an organizer. I consider myself the right person to create a systematic environment. I want to maintain high standards through reason, logic, and methodical analysis. I'm exacting and seek to bring coherence to the world. Although my soul potential is Leo, I'm not trying to grab center stage. That's the way it is. Each of us have our strengths and weaknesses.

My Mars is in Virgo. This means I need to establish order and high standards. I would be efficient in logic, with the ability to analyze.

Mars in Aquarius gives us the desire for independence. There will be a trend in unusual and unorthodox courses of action to achieve universal truths. Those born on May 4 and lasting until November 6 in the year 1971, an extended period of time due to the retrograde motion of Mars leaves a number of people born during the period. This group of souls, with the special abilities of Mars in Aquarius, and trine to Uranus in Libra, will spearhead a new way of life.

During the above mentioned period, my transiting Uranus, my ruling planet, had moved into a position opposed to its position at the time of my birth. This would come as a strong need to change my life. In 1975, I departed my old life, seeking a new, more fulfilling life. When I went on my own, I mentally joined the special group inspired to produce a balance of social concepts and the action necessary to implement them. Many others are joining this group of world-changers. In our future, it will not be the Leo influence that directs our lives. Coercive government will be replaced by perfunctory government. Cooperative associations through a network economy will be the principle way a worldwide society of advanced beings will at last bring the world to its intended course.

The Proverbial Bridge to Nowhere

http://inlink.gaia.com — Wed, 04 Mar 2009 13:38:22 GMT

I awakened this morning with the realization that I'm on the bridge to nowhere. The bridge to somewhere is globalization and socialism. In early 1975, I determined that the bridge to somewhere was not where I wanted to go. It has been an interesting journey.

It started with a repeating dream. I dreamed that I was on the back of a giant bird flying through a narrow, winding canyon, terrified. I was unable to see what was around the bends. Not long after those repeating dreams, I departed my old life. I went to sea for two years, went where the wind took me on a 37 foot sloop I named Bold Venture. There was nothing but water, the heavens above, and me. Inexplicable events occurred while I was at sea, which left me with the feeling that a force in me existed I'd not known. Miraculously, while I was at sea, I saved seven lives from a watery grave, including my own. I left the sea with the feeling that I had a greater purpose in life than me.

By chance, I met Karen in Portland, Oregon. She is my fourth wife; that is, my soul mate. It was like meeting someone I'd not seen for a long time, perhaps someone from a past life. On our first date, May 18, 1980, on a hike to Multnomah Falls, not 50 miles to our northwest Mt. St. Helens erupted. So many inexplicable events had occurred in my life since I departed and went to sea that I took this event as synchronistic correspondence with the Higher Law, a symbol of calamity, hope, and renewal, and the same for the September 11, 2001 event, when Islamic extremists took down the World Trade Center in New York City.

My birth on September 17, 1925 was a symbol of things to come. In September 1925, physicist Werner Heisenberg, Hitler's atom bomb builder, published a scientific paper on the uncertainty principle, the forerunner of quantum mechanics. Heisenberg's heavy water plant was bombed. It gave the United States the chance it needed to beat Hitler to the building of the atom bomb. I was on the high seas heading for the invasion of Japan when the United States dropped the atom bomb on Japan, ending World War II. I came home to the bridge to nowhere.

In 1925, in the year I was born, the United States made it law that the IRS could examine personal income records. Never before had the United States been allowed to do such a thing. In the chaos theory, a meteorologist determined that the flapping of a butterfly's wings can cause a hurricane. As the consequence of the authority to examine personal income records-the flapping of butterfly wings-in 1973, I wrote a letter to U.S. Attorney General William Saxbe informing him that the Internal Revenue Code was unconstitutional. He forwarded my letter to the IRS. The IRS sent an auditor to examine my personal income records. It led to an eleven year legal battle between me and the IRS, which went to the U.S. Supreme Court. My case was never heard. I went to the press with the court record. An investigation found that the IRS had "mistakenly" confiscated my property for eleven years. I remained on the bridge to nowhere. Not a peep from anyone.

At the moment of my birth, the sun rose on the sign of Aquarius, the water-bearer to humanity. The United States was born under the sign of Aquarius. We are moving into the Age of Aquarius, an age when mankind will be more spiritual, more independent, more altruistic. President Obama has the soul pattern of Aquarius. He is a socialist, someone out to control us, someone to tie us to the past for generations, an enemy of the new age. He is anything but an agent of change. He has betrayed his sacred soul.

In keeping with this new age, quantum physics is about to learn, not only how it all comes together, but why it all comes together. The movements of the heavens long ago told star gazers that the end of the world comes in 2012. Concerning the bridge to somewhere, Saturn and Pluto went into unfavorable alignment and we experienced the September 11, 2001 event. The same unfavorable alignment occurred in November 2008, in the month and year Obama was elected president, and will remain causing "a widespread sense of epochal closure: ‘the end of an era,' ‘the end of innocence,' 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. Profound transformation was a dominant theme, as with the Uranus-Pluto cycle, but here the transformation was through contraction, conservative reaction, crisis and termination," wrote cultural historian Richard Tarnas in Cosmos and Psyche: Intimations of a New World View. The book was published in May 2007. It's a prophecy of exactly what is now taking place.

An astrologer told me my astrological chart has the configuration of the most notable psychics in the world. I've been asking myself if I'm not on the bridge to nowhere. I dreamed, this morning, March 4, 2009, that I'd had my old car overhauled and was out for a test drive on a road I knew to be twisting with steep climbs. I came to a steep climb. The pavement had been removed. Road construction was in progress. As I proceeded, the climb became much steeper. It was obvious that I'd taken a road to nowhere. I awakened and realized that I'd had many similar dreams. It was a message. My spiritual guides were telling me my mission, the messenger, is complete. I'm on the bridge to nowhere. Blessings to all of you. The future is anything you want it to be.

P.S. Mars in Aquarius gives us the desire for independence. Now revving up, there will be a trend in unusual and unorthodox courses of action to achieve universal truth stemming from those of you born in the year 1971. Mars was in the sign Aquarius beginning on May 4 and lasting until November 6 due to the fact that the motion was retrograde and therefore stationary during this extended period. This group of souls, with the special abilities of Mars in Aquarius, and trine to Uranus in Libra, will spearhead a new way of life today's world cannot imagine.

Straight Talk about Printing Press Money

http://inlink.gaia.com — Tue, 03 Mar 2009 13:44:15 GMT

We've left the Age of Pisces, whose sign is two fish swimming in opposite directions, symbolizing the plight of today's America. We've entered the Age of Aquarius, whose sign is the water-bearer to humanity.

Having referenced the above signs of the times, this water-bearer says if you think you need big government, your wish has come true with the election of Barrack Obama. The national debt he plans to heap on taxpayers is beyond comprehension, but never fear, Obama has a plan for you. He has a magic printing press that prints money. He plans to print money and hand it out to the voting constituencies who think they need big government.

This printing press money simply says the bearer promises to pay all debts public and private. Have you ever thought about that? As Obama hands out his Monopoly money-nothing to back it, we've an astronomical debt---the money in circulation will be watered down. At first, the phony money will stimulate economic growth. But then workers will see their pay checks not buying as much. They will cut back on their purchases. Those who owe a lot of money will be paying off their debts with cheaper dollars. That's good, but think again. That also applies to government, the redistribution agent. It's the same as tax. Obama plans to cut the deficit in half by making the dollar worth half as much-in two years. What if the worker owing a lot needs all of his watered down money to buy essentials; he has none left over to pay his debts? Not to worry. The government will print enough money to help its friends. Indeed, you can bet that Obama is going to have a lot more friends than he now has. America's producers, if they are not already, will be begging for help. We know that Obama is not going to allow industry to shut down. He is going to continue bailing out industry. The money he gives industry will have strings attached. Hitler had what he called National Socialism. Stalin called it Communism. But not to worry. In America, we've got democracy. It is not socialism. It's compassionate liberals helping out those in need (in George W. Bush's case, compassionate conservatives helping out those in need).

Back in the 1960s, I lived in Dallas, Texas. Dallas' fat cats, the one's who controlled local government, got the bright idea of making the Trinity River a canal that would allow Dallas to be a seaport. It would be great for Dallas' economy. Said fat cats went to Washington for the money. It would be great for the politicians in Washington to help out Dallas. Everything was looking good. Said fat cats bought up all the land in Dallas bordering the Trinity River real cheap. It was a flood plain. Every spring the Trinity River covered the land.

Alas, a kill-joy in Dallas exposed the fat cat plan to make millions on the flood plain when it became a sea port. Making the Trinity River a canal was not economically sound. Said kill-joy was elected Dallas' congressman. He killed the "earmark" for the canal. He also killed the "earmark" for an unneeded Federal center in Dallas. You can imagine the anger he generated in Dallas' fat cats. They financed Dallas' mayor to run against this kill-joy congressman. He served only one term. But the "cat" was out of the bag. Neither the canal nor the Federal center materialized. That was then and now is now. The situation reminds me of a giant rocket, after launching, zooming out of control.

"The self-fulfilling prophecy is, in the beginning, a false definition of the situation evoking a new behaviour which makes the original false conception come 'true'. This specious validity of the self-fulfilling prophecy perpetuates a reign of error. For the prophet will cite the actual course of events as proof that he was right from the very beginning." Robert K. Merton

Money goes where money flows. There is a correlation in Obama's election and big money. He raised, by far, more campaign money than anyone else. That money did not all come from the meek and the poor wanting a cut of the pie. Now it's payback time. There are over 9,000 earmarks in Obama's economic stimulus package, 40 percent of them Republican. Guess who is going to wind up in total control your life? They say the root of all evil is money.

Barrack Obama and America

http://inlink.gaia.com — Mon, 02 Mar 2009 12:02:39 GMT

Since joining Gaia Community in February 2007, and writing hundreds of blogs, while learning much about myself, I've frightened away my readers. Am I an ogre, a fairy tale monster? If you read my profile, you find that I came to this life a messenger. I envision the future as being beyond present day imagination. Everything known is going to be trashed. For Gaia Community, the idea must be like jumping into a black hole.

I have come to believe in astrology. There are too many coincidences in the events of my life and my characteristics to think anything else. In Linda Brady's message, Discovering Your Soul Mission, we find that Barrack Obama and I share Aquarius in our soul patterns. When you think about that, it's unbelievable, isn't it? The soul pattern is one's greater calling in life. It is very interesting that Obama's mentor is Abraham Lincoln. Lincoln's sun sign is Aquarius. His rising sign is Aquarius. America was born under the sign of Aquarius. We're entering the Age of Aquarius. My rising sign is Aquarius. Both Obama and I have Aquarian soul patterns. The most outstanding characteristic of Aquarius is independence. Obama and Gaia Community are swimming against the current of change. I would like all of you Gaia astrologers to point out to me where I've gone wrong, and also where Obama is going wrong.

Obama's Mercury in Cancer matches "liberal." Obama sees the world through the eyes of an emotionally sensitive cosmic nurturer and mother, wrote Brady. It's a match with Gaia. Brady wrote that Obama would be a sensitive listener. This is a match with Gaia. But Gaia can lose her identity, as can Obama, in his empathy to others, Brady wrote. Because of this sensitivity, Gaia and Obama are lacking in objectivity, says Brady.

Obama's Mercury in Cancer, along with Gaia's orientation, is very interesting when you compare this Aquarian soul with that Aquarian soul. Matching "conservative," my Mercury is in Virgo. I perceive the world through the eyes of an organizer, wrote Brady. I seek to maintain high standards. I'm exacting. I seek to bring coherence to life. You bet! I can be judgmental. A true liberal is never judgmental. I further agree with Brady in that I can be obsessed by details. There is a difference in being obsessed by details and obsessed by trivia. I'm into quantum mechanics and the discovery of how it all comes together-through the study of the smallest of excitations. My question: Which is more important, knowing how to screw taxpayers, or knowing the why of it all?

Would you believe that both Obama and I share Mars in Virgo? Mars in Virgo, according to Brady, "manifests itself in your need to create order and high standards, in your ability to analyze and discern. Your positive characteristics include being scientific, discriminating, industrious, dependable and conscientious. Your challenging characteristics include being too obsessive, too result-oriented, nervous, hypochondriacal, perfectionistic, judgmental, and critical."

Judging myself, I'd say I'm obsessive, results-oriented, judgmental, and critical. I don't see any of these negative characteristics in Obama. Neither do I see any of the positive characteristics. He has set his course for La La Land.

Brady says, "You project the impossibly high standards you have for yourself onto others. But you are also methodical, practical, organized, and thorough. You seek a perfect blend of mind and body, and you support that pursuit by being studious and exacting in your search for information."

With this astrological information in mind, we see that Obama's spending plans aim for dependence in big government. His spending plans hogtie generations with tax to pay for having a government that is emotionally sensitive to the "needs" of the individual, as is Gaia Community. Obama says he is about remaking America. I hope he fails. It isn't the image I've known America to be.
Obama, we find in his chart, excels in sensitivity and empathy. He is the Gaia hero of the day. He's one of the greatest charmers who ever sought to become president of the United States. It appears to this Aquarian that Obama is merely a figurehead; that he does not control anyone, including himself. It's payback time now. Those of the liberal persuasion scream: give him a chance! No way!

The millions spent to get Obama elected are due to become trillions paid back to the special interests who paid for his election. And don't forget that of those 9,000 "earmarks" 40 percent are Republican earmarks. All members of Congress agree that in order to remain in office one has to pass out pork to his constituency. This is understood when one decides to run for public office. It's "bipartisan."

So here we are, my Gaia astrologer friends, moving from the Age of Pisces, an age of authoritarian control, into the Age of Aquarius, an age of individual independence. Before Obama ran for President of the United States, it was tacitly agreed that he would not break ranks. Obama's duty is to keep America under the control of Washington's liberal control freaks for generations to come. Has Obama not sold his Aquarian soul to the devil? I'm with Rush. I hope Obama fails. To liberals, it means that I hope America fails. Liberals don't have the foggiest notion of what America stands for-nor what their lives stand for. Time will tell who is right and who is wrong.

On my post "No Way is Obama's Plan the Right Answer," this comment, on February 26th:

just love the Republican way of thinking,.. the past 8 years they implemented more Tax and spend complete with PORK than the last 3 Democratic presidents combined! and NOW they put full blame on people that acquired loans that they thought they could pay back but find they now can not, oh sure they mention the bankers that made the loans but the part of the blame directly on the republicans that no one will admit is this: I retired after 25 years working for a municipality and was a teamster and a IBEW member. Under the Republicans and their anti union ways we have seen the lowest raises in over 12 years! while the cost of living shot up over 30 percent we barely received (IN 12 years) 13.5 percent in raises. Why is that important? Well factor the Bush anti union choke hold and if we had gotten fair wage increases(Just to match inflation) those very same people now in trouble would of had the money to stay afloat and pay the additional 6 percent they now need to not fall behind. and all the while corporate big wigs got FAT bonuses for finding ways to screw the working class stiff...In the republican way.... Gee what happened to Haliburton? OH thats not important you say?,..BS...What are we going to do about Cheney?. Let us all look into the friends and follow the money trail and see who is telling the truth,all the whiney FOX 5 reporters are still blasting Obama and it has only been 1 month...Now nuts Like Bill Oriley are attempting to tone down one of the most desgracefull cartoons in NY post history...I dont get it! Well thats all I have to say..They want to help..get on board. we did not allow Madoff and the several copycat Ponzi boys to pull of the biggest ripoff in history, The republicans and power house special interests did... PS Bill Clinton had the Federal deficit under controll, Bush (It is alleged) created the crisis by ignoring a premptive strike on Twin towers and allowed it to happen. Pay back for Daddy? I dont know...But one thing that was proven is NO WEAPONS OF MASS DISTRUCTION FOUND> and all he had to say was " OOps My Bad!" Sorry,...That OOPs cost the USA everythin!..Money,Lives and the respect of the world stage. and triggered the losses to the working man in so many ways that all had a direct impact on the current economic crisis. Now It took a comedian to give us a real stimulous package that would of worked, (Trikle up economics) instead banks,and loan institutions and auto manufacurers all bailed out but the drive train (The working man) is again left out, If the money went to individules and they aquired loans for autos from banks, or to refinance a home then those auto dealers and banks would have to compete for the business of the dealer or bank? every one comes up a winner....Yet instead, Banks that took bail out funds held and are still holding the (Your Money) bail out funds and will not make loans. We are all screwed! unless someone makes direct funds to small business and gets people back to work.

My questions: Do two wrongs make a right? Are we like spineless jellyfish floating on the tides? What is it that makes us human? This isn't my America. I grew up in a totally different America. My message: You better believe this America is not long for this world. America's liberals are going to be left in a cloud of dust.

A Lesson in History

http://inlink.gaia.com — Sat, 28 Feb 2009 16:29:01 GMT

Continuing with the Higher Law, and common sense, the progressive liberal mind-set envisions the kind of a world it wants. Does it make common sense? It differs in my mind-set in that instead of starting at a beginning and building toward an end, the progressive liberal believes in forcing all the pieces to fit. In other words, the progressive liberal believes the end justifies the means. I'm not like Rush Limbaugh. I don't hope Obama fails. I'm dead certain Obama's idea of the world is not what I want. On the other hand, to the progressive liberal, "Obama's cool. Give it a chance to work." Sorry guys! It is impossible to comprehend eight trillion dollars. I'm an ant looking at an elephant.

One month after Obama took office, angry taxpayers are marching in the streets. It's all "boring" to the arrogant liberal Democrat Senator Bob Graham. It is not arguable that since Obama took office the division in America has increased. A house divided cannot long stand. Maybe that's what the progressive liberals want, an end to the America we know and revere. Did Obama really "inherit" a problem or is he addressing a symptom of the problem Roosevelt created. I'd like to make clear that the progressive liberal poses no threat to me. I'm government entitled. I've retired from the big city and high crime. I'm far away from the open border with Mexico. Turning loose killer terrorists isn't my problem. They are not likely to set off a dirty bomb near me. I've retired to the tall timber.

Nothing takes the place of experience. I've not been reeducated in a modern school of higher learning. Young people have no idea of what my world was like in my youth. I lived through the Great Depression. Franklin D. Roosevelt, Obama's mentor, was president for 11 years of depression. He didn't end it. World War II ended the Great Depression. Before the Great Depression, the Federal Government was a small fraction of its present size-something way out there. Roosevelt brought the Federal Government into everyone's living room with his Fireside Chats. Millions of desperate people placed their hope in Roosevelt. Millions of desperate people today place their hope in Obama.

In those days long ago, it took only one worker to support a family. My father was never without a job. We were not desperate when I was a boy. I didn't know the meaning of the depression. Obama calls my early life experience a "catastrophe." I disagree. I call Obama's plan for us a coming catastrophe. The family was the cornerstone of America. Workers paid no tax on their incomes. We didn't have government entitlements. When the money ran out, the old folks came to live with us. When my aunt's husband died, leaving her with three children, my dad gave her money to help out.

In my youth, we didn't have homeless people standing on the street corner with signs. We had homeless people knock on our door offering to work for something to eat. My mother always fed them. We called it faith, hope, and charity. It never occurred to us that anyone was government entitled to living expenses and health insurance the taxpayer paid. Until Roosevelt took office, we never dreamed that the government was duty-bound to keep us. As it turns out the fraud of everyone's future, every generation receiving less and paying more, get over the idea that the money you pay is there for you, all you have is government I.O.Us, add to Obama's eight trillion dollar notes of indebtedness, he's going to hand out, and you get the picture. What happens when the nation's debts can't be paid. America becomes another banana republic.

During the terrible depression days, my mother was a member of the Parent Teacher's Association. She was always there for me. My school was well disciplined. You got paddled if you got out of line. The crime rate was a fraction of today's crime rate. The divorce rate was a fraction of today's divorce rate. When I was a boy, I was taught respect for authority. Politicians didn't have the money to buy the multitudes' votes.

Whenever anyone looks deeply with focused investigation, significant fraud and abuse is observed. Justice Jackson: "It will be a sad day if the good will of the people toward their taxing system is frittered away in efforts to accomplish by taxation moral reforms that cannot be accomplished by direct legislation." In Missouri, Kansas & Texas Ry. Co. V. May 194 U. S. 270, Justice Holmes speaking for the Court, "A tortured construction of the Constitution is not to be justified by recourse to extreme examples of reckless congressional spending which might occur if courts could not prevent expenditures which, even if they could be thought to effect any national purpose, would be possible only by action of a legislature lost to all sense of public responsibility." The American people sat in the bleachers and allowed all of this to happen.

Roosevelt's legacy wound up letting the horse out of the gate. Personal dependence on government has been growing like Jack's beanstalk. Being free has taken on new meaning: eight trillion bucks in deficit spending. You bet! "Something has to be done." Imagine that! Buying the irresponsible's vote becomes tax slavery for those to come. It tops all that has gone before. Where's the beef? Indeed, I've lived and learned. Obama may be cool, but pray tell me, is there any reason left to respect authority? In my day, Obama would have been judged a slick con artist selling snake oil remedy.

Government spends and prints money. The economy produces wealth. We've now a government managed economy. The money printed is notes obligating the taxpayer, a growing liability. When I collect my government entitlement, government's hand is quicker than the eye trick, which allows me to purchase my needs, the notes government gave me become a taxpayer liability. Besides watering down the money supply with printing press money, the same as a tax, those cool cats in Washington give me cost in living increases. It's nice work if you can get it. Oh! By the way, government entitlements are pay as you go; that is, you pay me more than you are going to be paid when you become government entitled. Thank you very much. Government entitlement is a pyramid game. Think on it-eight trillion dollars of borrowed money to be distributed by your government according to whim. It's far more than all the money the so-called rich could pay back if every cent of their incomes were taken in tax. How would you like to see your government take 95 percent of your pay? Face the fact that your federal representatives are egomaniacs. They belong in the nuthouse.

We've gone through age after age of authoritarian control. The universe, we now learn, besides being immutable laws that govern movement, Sir Isaac Newton's contribution, has within it an element of uncertainty, Werner Heisenberg's contribution. Heisenberg's uncertainty principle was the forerunner of quantum mechanics. When you want to know how something works you take it apart. That's what quantum mechanics does with the physical universe.

We now know for sure that there is more than one dimension in the universe. By observing a dimension of infinite possibility, science has discovered, we create reality. If we don't observe ourselves, but allow others to observe for us, thereby creating their reality, then would it not be correct to say we rob ourselves of what is rightfully ours' to use as we please? In my view, we were created with the intelligence to take care of our own needs. What's the difference in asking your neighbor to help you financially and asking our agent, the federal government, for help.

What makes Obama capable to determining what every man, woman, and child in the United States should have? You Obama supporters are heading the world to a self-fulfilling prophecy: The Battle of Armageddon.

On the Higher Law

http://inlink.gaia.com — Fri, 27 Feb 2009 16:44:39 GMT

Following up on "The State of Being," the "Higher Law" is the "letter of the law," the form of the law, and the "spirit" of the law, when we talk about "spirit," we're speaking of man's soul. "Legal," the form of the law, "legal" is a construction of the law. Without a foundation, namely, the "spirit" of the law, you've got a house built on sand.

Webster's Collegiate Dictionary defines soul as our immaterial essence, our animating principle, or actuating cause of life. Our cause of life, associated with unlimited awareness potential, has progressed over the ages. The ages are associated with movement, astrologically defined as the movement of star constellations. We're now moving from the Age of Pisces to the Age of Aquarius, an age of high tech, an age of rapid change, an age of uncertainty. In the physical universe, what comes around goes around. In the Age of Aquarius, we, individually, choose what is to be. Anything is possible.

With anything is possible in mind, getting back to the law, America's courts, in keeping with today's rapid change, have changed the Constitution from its original intent to "in light of today's needs;" that is, naturally, the people's needs, not the needs of the powers that be. As it turns out, it's the fox watching over the henhouse. Mention natural law to a politician. It's like throwing holy water at the face of the devil. Case in point: In Flast v. Cohen, 392 U.S. 83 (1968)

Flast at 98: Chief Justice Earl Warren for the Court: "As we understand it, the Government's position is that the constitutional scheme of separation of powers, and the deference owed by the federal judiciary to the other two branches of government within that scheme, present an absolute bar to taxpayer suits challenging the validity of federal spending programs. The Government views such suits as involving no more than the mere disagreement by the taxpayer ‘with the uses to which tax money is put.' According to the Government, the resolution of such disagreements is committed to other branches of the Federal Government and not to the judiciary. Consequently, the Government contends that, under no circumstances, should standing to be conferred on federal taxpayers to challenge a federal taxing or spending program. An analysis of the function served by standing limitations compels a rejection of the Government's position."

Chief Justice Warren was speaking to the case of some taxpayers who petitioned to be heard on the constitutionality of the State of New York expediently forking over taxpayer money to church schools, allegedly in violation of the principle of separation of church and state.
Flast at 99: "The fundamental aspect of standing is that it focuses on the party seeking to get his complaint before a federal court and not on the issues he wishes to have adjudicated. The ‘gist of the question of standing' is whether the party seeking relief has ‘alleged such a personal stake in the outcome of the controversy as to assure that concrete adverseness which sharpens the presentation of issues upon which the court so largely depends for illumination of difficult constitutional questions.' Baker v. Carr, 369 U.S. 186, 204 (1962)

Flast at 105: "We have noted that the Establishment clause of the First Amendment does specifically limit the taxing and spending power conferred by Art. I, section 8. Whether the Constitution contains other specific limitations can be determined only in the context of future cases. However, whenever such specific limitations are found, we believe a taxpayer will have a clear stake as a taxpayer in assuring that they are not breached by Congress. Consequently, we hold that a taxpayer will have standing consistent with Article III to invoke federal judicial power when he alleges that congressional provisions which operate to restrict the exercise of the taxing and spending authority. The taxpayer's allegation in such cases would be that his tax money is being extracted and spent in violation of specific constitutional protections against such abuses of legislative power."

The taxpayers in Flast were granted standing, due to something that might be determined in future cases. Their cause was ruled against by reason that the amount of money, when spread out over all of New York's taxpayers, was not enough of a violation to warrant the Court's rejection of the tax. The Court recognized that we don't have perfect justice. The court can't be asked to judge on every penny of tax money spent. What about every single taxpayer being wronged by the tax collector? Should every wronged taxpayer be heard? Perhaps not, but how about all taxpayers? What if all taxpayer are being unconstitutionally robbed of thousands of dollars, simply because not one is being heard?

When Congress and the President pass legislation that will cost every federal taxpayer thousands of dollars, and said legislation will reward the irresponsible and penalize the responsible, not only do the taxpayers have standing to challenge taxing and spending, but the letter and the spirit of the law assures them of justice. The trouble is that not all taxpayers are demanding justice, and the one demanding justice is not being heard.

In my case before the Supreme Court, the Commissioner of Internal Revenue lied. My case was not heard. It was heard by The Palm Beach Post. A front page story appeared in which the IRS admitted that for 11 years it had lawlessly confiscated by property. I got what was mine back but in the meanwhile the IRS put me on the street. The taxpayer is automatically guilty as changed.

I don't jump through authority's hoops. One and all, in my view, authorities are placing the public's needs secondary to their own. If this is truly a government of the people, for the people, it takes personal involvement. I spent an estimated 2,000 hours in legal research on my taxpayer case. I'm not a lawyer. I was guided by those who came before me. After the fact, after my cause was brought to the attention of The Palm Beach Post, I was proven right and the tax collector wrong.

America's future is up for grabs. I'm no longer a taxpayer. I'm 83 and one of the government entitled. This is no longer my fight. I'm offering a little of what I learned about the law for whatever use the taxpayers may find in it.

The State of Being

http://inlink.gaia.com — Thu, 26 Feb 2009 14:06:02 GMT

Following up on "About our Souls," we are witnessing the economic effects of a lacking in government regulations. Greed has taken over in the public and private sectors. But, hey, America is a government of the people, for the people; that is, groups of people, some progressive liberal, some conservative. There is a great division of thinking at this time. President Obama says he is everyone's president. Some of what he says is for progressive liberal groups, some for conservative groups, in other words, double talk. A house divided cannot long stand. One could assume it would be better if we were all of the progressive liberal mind-set, which is the majority view, the assumption being that with everyone thinking alike, President Obama's economic stimulus package would work. Think again!

My question: What put us here? Movement. Everything in the physical universe moves from its beginning to an end. A state of perfection would not move. Therefore, perfection does not exist. We are here to make things better. Since we're here for only a brief moment, we can do only so much. What if we mess up? What about Hitler? Did Hitler get off the hook when he killed himself, or does Hitler now exist in a state of eternal torment? Not if God loves his creation. I would think God would give Hitler the chance to right his terrible wrongs. The word for this idea is Karma. Since there is no such thing as perfection, I would say we all come back to correct our wrongs. But who am I to say? Who is anyone to say?

Who is anyone to say who or what God is? The argument is the single-most cause of suffering and death on this planet. Based on movement-we are moving from the Age of Pisces to the Age of Aquarius-moving from past ages of authoritarian rule, from wars, death and destruction, as though we were immature and needed to be told what to do, moving to an age of self-government. I maintain that we are going to discover who we really are. If we could look at our future, I say we would be astounded. We would find that we are capable of being anything we want to be. We would cease making ourselves victims of circumstances in need of help from authorities. If we knew who we really are, we'd be part of the action. We'd never look to external authority for our personal answers.

These are my thoughts. They are based on my personal experience. They are not shared by many Americans. Most want to remain in a government created hothouse. Most Americans fear letting nature take her course. They want government intervention. Coincidentally, I was born at a time and at a place that made me an Aquarian soul. When I was age five, I set out to see the world. The cops found me three hours later talking with a yardman. For the past thirty-four years, I've been a rolling stone. I've finally come to rest in the tall timber thirty miles east of Mt. Hood, Oregon. I spend much of my time now in contemplation.

According to astrology, I was placed on Earth at this particular time with a message. I take it that now is the proper time to deliver it. I've nothing better to do with my time. I've been provided with a computer and the Internet. While the world's authority is leading us to annihilation, millions of individuals are being connected through computers and the Internet, keeping in mind our purpose in being here is to make things better.

We've finally arrived at the Age of Aquarius, an age that will see us taking charge of our personal lives. Little wonder that this is a time of turmoil.

Speaking in terms of the predictable; that is, in the time-space consortium, this period will last three to four years. So much for the present unfavorable alignments of the planets. We live in a state of being-without limits. We may vote ourselves into oblivion. The universe would not miss us. After all, we're a mere speck of dust on the outer edge of our galaxy. There are hundreds of billions of galaxies. It is all up to us wether we remain physical. In any event, we would keep our eternal state of being. Who knows where our next physical appearance would be.

With everyone for himself, we are sitting here at the threshold of lives we cannot imagine, afraid to move into our next phase of evolvement, just sitting here with the sword of Damocles hanging over us. What is it going to be, history written in the rocks or self-made images of God? I can't believe that the planet Earth, a million-to-one odds of being supportive of intelligent life, after the millions of generations of life it took to get us to this point, that we are going to just sit here and let mindless, self-serving authorities bring an end of us. I believe we, as individuals, are going to close ranks.

Do you vote to let your children and grandchildren pay for your extravagance? This is not due process of law. It is legalized robbery. Don't forget that the U.S. Constitution is the people's constitution. We, the people, had the guts to stop black slavery. Do we have the guts to stop tax slavery. We, the people, must now use our Constitution to stop this madness.

About Our Souls

http://inlink.gaia.com — Wed, 25 Feb 2009 18:19:03 GMT

President Obama's speech last night informed us that he is aware of our economic woes, and that we can overcome the problem. He spelled out his plan. Obama is like Moses leading the Children of Israel. It reminds us of the story of Adam and Eve and the Garden of Eden. The almighty authority, like President Obama, provided Adam and Even with all of their needs. They were not to eat from the tree of knowledge of good and evil. They were to live with the protection of God's love. They were disobedient. The almighty authority placed a curse on Adam and Even and all who followed them. The only way out of the curse we learn as children is to confess our sins and live blessed lives in the love the almighty authority bestows upon the obedient. I don't believe a word of it. I look within for my answers.

When I was a child, I was taught this prayer:

Now I lay me down to sleep
If I should die before I wake
I pray the Lord my soul to keep

How nice it would be if we could simply recite a little prayer and life would wonderful. I wasn't born to believe it. I was born to question everything, for I've an Aquarian soul. Since Adam and Eve, we've gone through the twelve ages of childlike obedience, jumping through authority's hoops. We've left the Age of Pisces, which began with the birth of Jesus. You recall that authority crucified Jesus.

The Age of Pisces has for its symbol two fish swimming in opposite direction. It reminds us of present day America. Alas, I've questioned the American establishment ever since I can remember.

It won't work for children and immature adults who depend on authority, but I have a plan that will work for present day adults. We've entered the Age of Aquarius, the symbol of which is the water-bearer to humanity. My plan, coming from an Aquarian soul, and I'm far from alone, calls for beginning now to make everyone personally responsible for his or her life by reducing the size of government to a fraction of its present size. Rather than put money in government's pocket to buy the votes of those dependent on big government, my plan would put money in the individual's pocket. My plan calls for the reestablishment of the free market economy. Let the law of supply and demand work without government interference. Whereas President Obama's plan for the immature would spend us into poverty, with money in the individual's pocket under my adult plan, the individual would spend his way into prosperity. Incidentally, isn't it ironic that President Obama sent his Secretary of State to Communist China to beg for money to finance his plan? Birds of a feather flock together.

The Aquarian nature: inventive, spontaneous, original, unique, independent, the forerunner of style setting, discovering new methods, and bringing back information that has been lost to civilization of centuries. The Aquarian is a chance-taker. He knows where the fruit grows. He's not one to hide his light under a bushel. As we are now aware, we are great in number.

President Obama's plan merely addresses the symptoms of the problem. The first step for a cure is to do is to do away with the income tax and the hated IRS. The income tax has outlived its usefulness. It is corrupt. It is now a tool to rob the poor and aid the rich. The income tax should be replaced with a tax on spending. The second step for a cure, simultaneous with the first step, is to entirely faze out government entitlements. Those joining the work force should not have one dime withheld from their wages for government entitlements, nor should they receive government entitlements, for the simple reason that they should not be encouraged to depend on government. No one paying for government entitlements now should receive government entitlements before age 70. Within 30 years, government entitlements would be history.

Government entitlements haven't been around that long. When I was a boy, the family was the cornerstone of American life. Think of life without government entitlements. Mature adults know how to teach their children. When I grew up, I had a caring mother at home to guide me. Government entitlements should be replaced with a structured environment for anyone who either will not or cannot meet their adult responsibilities. Immature adults, now increasing by leaps and bounds, thanks to government entitlements, should be made wards of the state. They should not have the privilege of the vote. It makes no sense to allow immature people who depend on government the privilege of voting into office politicians who rob the responsible in order to buy the vote of the irresponsible. President Obama's plan calls for placing an enormous tax burden on future parents. It's the old shell game. The responsible know that future adults should be left with the fruits of their labor to properly care for their children. Under President Obama's plan, future parents will be tax slaves, their children, as well.

Speaking from the soul of an Aquarian, President Obama's plan is bucking the tide of change. It is a hopeless waste of America's energy.

On Love

http://inlink.gaia.com — Tue, 24 Feb 2009 16:35:39 GMT

Love is an often used word in the Gaia Community. It means profoundly affectionate.

It is said that God loved us so much that he sacrificed his only son. In the Book of Job, we find that Job was prosperous, had a wonderful family, had everything a man could want. Job was tempted by Satin. He gave up everything he held dear for his love of God. Why would an intelligent man do such a thing? In the book of Genesis, Adam and Eve disobeyed God, after which they saw their naked bodies and were ashamed. Why would intelligent people be ashamed? They covered their "private parts" with fig leaves. God saw them wearing fig leaves and knew they disobeyed him. Strangely, God placed a curse on them and all the men and women to follow. The moral story of man, The Holy Bible, is filled with holy wars, all over God's will. Does this God love us?

In Greek mythology, Prometheus loved man so much he wanted man to have something no animal had. He stole fire from the gods, which brought the wrath of Zeus down on him. Does God not like his creation of man? It seems in these stories that God wanted us to be like animals, without morals.

I guess I don't know God, but could I love anyone else if I didn't first love myself? In 1973, I had "a calling." I found a cause to fight for bigger than my own personal desires. I claimed that the fruits of my labor were first for taking care of my needs. The IRS had the idea that the fruits of my labor was their's for the taking. The IRS' cause was to take from me and give to others.

Lack of love of self comes out as envy and hate for those who have. These folks vote for politicians who advocate taking from those who have and redistributing it to those in need, the takers thinking of themselves as good and loving, those who have greedy and hateful.

The problem we face in America is looking for external fixes, failing to explain the nature of people. Consequently, America is fast turning into a nation of goof-offs, without the foggiest notion of the cause or the cure. Politicians address the symptoms of the problem they created. They can't take enough from the taxpayers to hand out so Secretary of State Hilary Clinton went to China with her hand out. Who would have thought the greatest nation on earth would be going to China for help?

A Gaia member who, in her message obviously fears death, thinks we may be about to become physically never to die. Quoting Deepak Chopra, she wrote that Karma is being replaced by Grace.

Deepak Chopra, pointing to the wisdom of the ancient sages of India,

As is the microcosm, so is the macrocosm.
As is the atom, so is the universe.
As is the human body, so is the cosmic body.
As is the human mind, so is the cosmic mind,

and to the "the totality of what is,"our place in the creation of the universe:

I am Spirit.
This moment is as it should be.
Uncertainty is part of the overall order of things.
Change is infused with non-change.
Entropy holds no threat because it is under the control of infinite organizing power.

I'm under the control of infinite organizing power. To correct the wrongs of a past life, I was born Virgo with Aquarius rising, the water-bearer to humanity. Astrologer Jeanne Avery says I may be the person to bring back information that has been lost to civilization for centuries.

Karma is the idea that we come back to correct the wrongs of a past life. Grace is God's forgiveness for our wrongs. Looking back, I found a bigger than life calling. I cut loose and went to sea. After two years at sea, I returned captain of my ship. A very strange thing happened. By chance, I met my fourth wife, Karen. She was like meeting an old friend I'd not seen for a long time, perhaps from another life. For the first time in this life, I found love. By cutting loose, everything should have gone wrong. Everything has gone right.

Astrologer James Redfield, author of The Celestine Prophecy, for $25, sent me an informational audio tape on my astrology, as follows:

"We are going to take a look at two key aspects of your astrological data, your Sun sign and your Moon sign. We are going to talk about them archetypically. The emotional issue is pointed out by your Moon sign-how this feels as you go through life-talk about your Sun sign-again archetypically-how you naturally uplift people, to give you some good information as you try to find out what your spiritual mission is."

"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. You grow in a Virgo way. Virgo is that part of us that is oriented toward conscientious work. 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."

"The Vigo ego integration with higher self, and the higher self perspective is going to be defined along the lines of the Virgo archetype, which is, of course, our need for organization: to be effective, to be conscientious about making things better."

"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."

It seems that we keep coming back with a mission. If we don't look within and find ourselves, we could end on that bridge to nowhere, our lives wasted.

P.S. Let's be the change that changes the world.

On the Current Economic Meltdown

http://inlink.gaia.com — Mon, 23 Feb 2009 18:38:09 GMT

The dean of American economists, Milton Friedman, a firm believer in the free market, had a big problem: Keynesian adversaries. Lord John Maynard Keynes, openly homosexual, a British aristocrat, an economist, who was widely acclaimed by America's intelligentsia, wouldn't you know had an alternative idea of the way things ought to be, government intervention in monetary policy to mitigate the adverse effects of recession.

A most amazing story! I came home from World War II to America's boom times. We were on the road to the American Dream. But God forbid America from going back to a free market economy. Don't you know that it was the free market economy that caused the Great Depression? The intelligentsia knows so much more than people like me. The idea was firmly intrenched that it takes government intervention in monetary policy to mitigate the adverse effects of recession. After the war, government grew by leaps and bounds. People became more and more dependent on government. The American Dream fizzled.

Free market advocates maintain that it takes a strong central bank to properly regulate the flow of money and keep full employment. Keynesian advocates thought it took strong government intervention to keep the economy going. By the 1970s, Keynesian policy had given America double digit inflation. The Nixon Administration invoked price controls, which left thousands of small business either taken over by the giants of industry of closed down. Clearly, government intervention was not working.

By the 1990s, even left-of-center politicians, like Clinton, came to respect the central bank's mastery of the money supply. Clinton didn't go for government intervention. By the end of the Clinton Administration, government was taking in more than it spent. The 9-11 event had a disrupting effect on the economy. In order to avoid a recession, Bush, one of the intelligentsia, intervened. Bad news for the economy, Bush had weekly conferences with the Fed's chairman. By the end of Bush's second term, he had doubled the national debt, and had put excessive pressure on the Fed to keep a sound monetary policy. While Bush was at the helm, lending went hog wild. When the cat is away the mice will play. The discombobulated Republicans got exactly what they deserved, but did the American people in Obama? Did Obama lead the American people down a garden path?

Lenders make their money by lending. Their greed is an outrage. In order for the central bank to keep the money supply flowing smoothly, it takes more than printing money. It involves credit, which the central bank does not control. While Bush was out to lunch, the economic balloon burst. Banks quit loaning money. People quit spending. Unemployment soared. Why bail out the banks? Why not let the free market take control?

With a free market economy, very painfully the situation would return to normal. President Obama says his government intervention answer is not perfect but better than nothing; it's a chance we have to take to avoid an economic disaster. Why don't we wait and see if it works? Why would it work now when it never has worked before? Why is it better to let our children and grandchildren pay for today's mistakes?

Leaving it to the Pisces mind-set-the Gaia management mind-set-based on external authority, the majority of the American people dependent on big government, this time of disenchantment, the end of an era, the beginning of the Age of Aquarius, in my February 21^st post, "U.S. Government Money Management," you learn how a growing minority is thinking. We are not going leave a Pisces legacy of poverty and tyranny to our children.

In the external world we're leaving, what comes around goes around. Not so in the Age of Aquarius. The immutable laws that control the physical universe, in our future-internal and all based on living experience-left open to create, we, the people, with the soul potential for humanism, individualism, for granting equal opportunity, tolerance, broad-mindedness, imagination, our world will make a quantum leap forward. Our children will live beyond the Pisces imagination.

Let No Child Be Left Behind

http://inlink.gaia.com — Sun, 22 Feb 2009 16:35:45 GMT

Quoting Franklin D.Roosevelt, the instigator of "New Deal" law, "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 balance of power between the three great branches of the Federal Government has been tipped out of balance by the Court in direct contradiction of the high purpose of the framers of the Constitution. We have reached the point where we must take action to save the Constitution from the Court."

Justice Brandeis and some of his brothers, saviors of the Constitution, would reason: "property is only a means. It has been a frequent error of our Court that they have made the means the end." The means is justified by the end-is that not leaving America's children behind?

In The Palm Beach Post, Monday, December 1, 1986, on the front page of the Local News, this headline appeared: "Taxpayer wages 11-year feud with IRS."

Due process of law means that before government may take a person's property, he shall be heard in a meaningful way in a meaningful place. The Federal Government has expediently given the Internal Revenue Service the authority-often mistakenly-to take a worker's property and leave him on the street. The only recourse the worker has is to petition the U. S. Tax Court, or file a complaint in the U.S. District Court. It takes years to be heard. The tax code is thousands of pages of ambiguities. It's lawyer gamesmanship.

As for the due process clause of the Fifth Amendment and my petition to the Tax Court, my complaints to three U.S. District Courts, my appeal to the U.S. Court of Appeals, and my Petition for a Writ of Certiorari in the Supreme Court of the United States, quoting The Palm Beach Post, "Holger Euringer, IRS public relations officer in Jacksonville, said last week that the agency had been wrong all along and that Smith soon would receive a letter of apology from the IRS district director. . . We're very sorry and we apologize. We did not intend in any way to harass or intimidate him, but I can see why he might have that impression." The IRS mistakenly put me on the street in the name of tax. The courts refused to hear the case.

Quoting The Palm Beach Post, "On Nov. 5, the IRS issued a notice to Barnett Bank of Palm Beach saying it wanted the $960 in Smith's bank account because he owed $961.70 on his 1974 return." This was money I used to buy groceries and pay rent. Quoting The Palm Beach Post, "Euringer said the Nov 5 bank account levy was a mistake." For eleven years, in spite of my asking to be heard in a meaningful way in a meaningful place, America's system of justice allowed the IRS to take a worker's property by mistake. Is this not leaving America's children behind?

Before New Deal law, the Supreme Court's test was whether the right at issue was "of the very essence of a scheme of ordered liberty," by reason that neither liberty nor justice would exist if such a right were sacrificed. Not so now. Quoting Chief Justice Earl Warren in Flast v. Cohen (1968), a taxpayer case, "Additional uncertainty exists in the doctrine of justiciability because that doctrine has become a blend of constitutional requirements and policy considerations. And a policy limitation is ‘not always clearly distinguished from the constitutional limitation. Barrows v. Jackson 346 U.S. 249, 255 (1953)"

"The ‘many subtle pressures' Poe v. Ullman, 367 U.S. 497, 508 (1961) which cause policy considerations to blend into the constitutional limitations of Article III make the justiciablity doctrine one of uncertain and shifting contours . . ."

Did you know that by policy the makers and keepers of the law in the United States have given themselves the authority to freely grab a person's property. There is no recourse. The courts refused to hear me. The IRS walked into my bank with a printed form. It didn't even include a signature. The IRS handed the form to a teller. The teller gave the agent every sent in my account. No question was asked. I was not informed. I had no chance to challenge the seizure. It's all in the record. By court policy, is the United States not leaving America's children behind?

Thomas Paine stated in his pamphlet Common Sense (1776): "For as in absolute governments the king is law, so in free countries the law ought to be king; and there ought to be no other."

With Paine's thought in mind, America's forefathers wrote the U. S. Constitution, including the so-called Bill of Rights, measures essential for the preservation of a scheme of ordered liberty-"of the very essence of a scheme of ordered liberty" (332 U.S. 456,65 n 28 quoting 302 U.S. 319, 325). In the Bill of Rights, under Amendment V, "no person may be deprived of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law." Without due process, the individual's rights have no practical meaning.

America's economy is melting down. With credit exceeding the limits, although admittedly not the perfect answer, the American people are being asked by their government to give a trillion dollar bailout, a new debt heaped on old debts, a chance to work. Are we not being asked to leave our children and grandchildren behind the eight ball?

Is it simply a matter of who won the election? I don't think so. In West Va. State Board of Education v. Barnette, 319 U.S. 624, 638, "The very purpose of the Bill of Rights was to withdraw certain subjects from the vicissitudes of political controversy, to place them beyond the reach of majorities and officials . . ." In Flast v. Cohen, Justice Warren: "As we understand it, the Government's position is that the constitutional scheme of separation of powers, and the deference owed by the federal judiciary to the other two branches of government within that scheme, present an absolute bar to taxpayer suits challenging the validity of federal spending programs. The Government views such suits as involving no more than the mere disagreement by the taxpayer ‘with the uses to which tax money is put.' According to the Government, the resolution of such disagreements is committed to other branches of the Federal Government and not to the judiciary. Consequently, the Government contends that, under no circumstances, should standing be conferred on federal taxpayers to challenge a federal taxing or spending program. An analysis of the function served by standing limitations compels a rejection of the Government's position."

The taxpayers in Flast v. Cohen were judged to have standing to challenge a federal spending program. The gist of standing is whether the party seeking relief has a personal sake in the outcome (Baker v. Carr, 369 U.S. 186, 2043). The taxpayers in Flast were not seen to have a personal stake in the outcome.

The Fifth Amendment has not been repealed, but as far as the ordinary taxpayer is concerned, it has been expediently sidetracked. Despite all of our wisdom and knowledge, our children are being left behind. Due to an excessive tax that forces both parents to work, children don't have the care, attention, or schooling I received in my youth-before New Deal law. Today's children don't have the personal responsibility, the self reliance, or the incentive to succeed. Their God-given rights have been politicized. They don't have the good schooling I had. They are being left with a tax burden they will not be able to pay. For shame, America.

"The Zaadz Secret"

(My original post, May 1, 2007, views 1,162)

I've a big mouth. I love to expound on quite provocative stuff, just asking for a fight. My Zaatz friends have made me more aware of our inner connections, one with another, have made me aware of our protective love for one another. What is international terrorism but people who have lost their love of humanity? What is our message but self acceptance?

First, we must accept ourselves. I marvel over how much my Zaatz friends have convinced me that my thoughts, although they may differ with others, are accepted. I'm accepted! What a change! What a change it would make in the world if people could only feel accepted.

We know people who don't feel accepted. If we invite them to be one of us, we are not asking them to join a doctrinaire organization. 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 you think about it, its an amazing thing. I've volunteered to be a Zaatz ambassador. I can still expound my beliefs, and the Zaadz belief.

What Zaadz is doing, actually, is proving my position, albeit expanded. Put the individual in control of his or her life and the world will thrive in peaceful coexistence. External authority controls when we don't feel inwardly in control, when we feel our individual thoughts are not acceptable. The media, part of the authoritarian establishment, brainwashes people into the belief that they are not capable of controlling their lives. We at Zaatz have a powerful means, of one on one communication, to push our view of an individually acceptable human fully capable of controlling his or her life.

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.

This from a young Indian woman to this octogenarian American by email. "You inspire me. You are so young at heart. I look within you, praying to see my own reflection. I invite myself to be the beautiful aliveness I witness in you. Thank you for being here where I can witness a glimpse into your journey."

As a Zaadz ambassador, I say to the American people, and to all the world, we invite you to join us, to believe in our Zaatz creed: Too often we underestimate the power of a touch, a smile, a listening ear, an honest compliment, or the smallest act of caring, all of which have the potential to turn a life around.

I've not changed my views since May 1, 2007, but it is obvious from the number of views of my blog that the Zaadz view has significantly changed. What a difference 22 months has made in the membership's willingness to let the future take care of itself.

U.S. Government Money Management

http://inlink.gaia.com — Sat, 21 Feb 2009 19:00:01 GMT

Not many people, from the looks of things, seem to know that the same as with all external authority, religious, government, scientific, opposing internal authority; that is, my personal management, we can't eliminate the Higher Law of the universe.

From time immemorial, survivors have looked, not externally for their answers, but within.

In real estate, the pros have this rule: caveat emptor-buyer beware, in light of the circumstances, most interesting. To their great financial advantage, mortgage brokers, lenders, and politicians teamed up to con the home buyer. They devised a scheme to put people who did not have the down payment in a home. The idea was to artificially run the price of the home up. The buyer would then have the down payment. Barney Frank was all for it. The poor would be in a home. George W. Bush was all for it. The economy would get a boost. The resourceful would be asked to bear the burden. America's leaders encourage Americans to do unto others before they do unto you. We Americans are so lovable. Why doesn't everyone want to be like us?
Alas, somebody had to pay. Those who saved for their down payment on a home saw their savings shrink due to inflation, and the rising price of homes made them always out of their reach. Now that the balloon has burst, the above named political do-gooders and colleagues who managed the scheme are scheming to bail out everyone involved, again at the expense of those who saved. TThere are taking us coming and going. They want to keep the artificially priced homes high. Consider the message they are sending.

The schemers' ace in the hole is printing press money-workers' promise to pay. Workers promise to work to pay all debts public and private. For political reasons, elected representatives print money, hand it out to non-workers, and tax workers. This is what you call "pay as you go to the dogs." Again for political reasons, elected representatives print more money than work pays, to water down the money in circulation. They give non-workers cost of living increases. Once again conning workers, they pay a hidden tax in their watered down money.

If you are indebted, your debt remains the same. Your watered down money pays your debt. It's an incentive to be in debt, but not so much that you can't pay. Money is paper representing workers' promise to pay. The United States has now run indebtedness up to a point that future workers can't pay the debt. This means more and more printing press money, more and more government assistance. We know from history what happens. First anarchy, then tyranny.

How do we avoid the inevitable? If you think you are going to lose your freedom, you are right. If you look to the future, "Them that's got shall get." Communication between computers, the relentless connecting of everything is causing sudden shifts, ripping apart established ways of creating wealth, preparing the way for the emerging economy. Called jelly beans, billions of specks of thought are being implanted into everything we make. We are also connecting them up. Most manufactured objects will be linked by infrared and radio, creating a wireless web vastly larger than the wired web. All of this put together means more and more for less and less cost. A success explosion in a network economy is the Internet itself. Indeed, my thoughts here are going into the minds of people all over the world. Think of the vast difference in just fifty years ago.

In the past, the momentum of an innovation marked its significance. Things are moving very fast now. The significance of the innovation now precedes the momentum. Success is infectious. It feeds on itself. Lower fixed and marginal costs and rapid distribution all make the new emerging economy vastly superior to anything we've experienced in the past.

The very best gets cheaper each year. This rule of thumb is so ingrained in our contemporary lifestyle that we bank on it without marveling at it. But marvel we should, because this paradox is a major engine of the new economy.

Who could formerly stay in business and give away its most valuable product? Microsoft gives away its Web browser, Internet Explorer. The average worker today lives better than royalty did a hundred years ago. Why do you feel that we need redistribution of the wealth?

The fate of individual organizations is not dependent entirely on their own merits, but also on the fate of their neighbors, their allies, their competitors. If we're not in this together, forget it. What wrong with free enterprise? New niches pop up. Competitors sprout beneath you and gobble your spot up. One day your are king of the mountain, and the next day there is no mountain at all. Workers in the new economy are all entrepreneurs. All transactions and objects will tend to obey network logic. The new economy is turbulent. Rather than trying to optimize solutions, our ability to solve our social and economic problems will be limited primarily by our lack of imagination in seizing opportunities-by submitting to tyranny.

The United States, in desperation, is using the taxpayers despitefully in its attempt to cling to the past. With friends like these, who needs enemies?

A Lesson in History

http://inlink.gaia.com — Fri, 20 Feb 2009 15:44:50 GMT

Historians give George Washington credit for being America's number one president. He won American independence from England. At the time, the majority of the American people were loyal to England. Being independent changed the way Americans thought about themselves. Historians give Abraham Lincoln credit for being America's number two president. At the time, there was great division in America. Lincoln is known as the Great Emancipator. He, too, gets credit for changing the way Americans think. Historians give Franklin D. Roosevelt credit for being America's number three president. Roosevelt took office during America's Great Depression. Roosevelt gets credit for rekindling hope in America. That's not the full story.

Before the Great Depression, Americans demanded that government stay out of personal lives. Roosevelt caught Americans at a weak moment, when pain was acute. He convinced the American people that government had a duty to the individual. Roosevelt: "While it isn't written in the Constitution, nevertheless, it is the inherent duty of the Federal Government to keep its citizens from starvation." Roosevelt: "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."

The Supreme Court's test as to a right, before Roosevelt, was whether the right at issue was "of the very essence of a scheme of ordered liberty," by reason that neither liberty nor justice would exist if such a right were sacrificed. A Roosevelt appointee to the Supreme Court, Justice Brandeis, had this to say: "property is only a means. It has been a frequent error of our Court that they have made the means the end." Keep Brandeis' idea in mind.

After Roosevelt's election, for eleven years America remained in the Great Depression. Her unemployment rate was higher than Europe's. America's depression ended with World War II. The American people were put back to work building weapons of war. In the interim, while there were public works projects, there was redistribution of the wealth-the duty of government to help the needy with individual grants in aid. Dependence on government was building throughout the depression years.

I came home from World War II to a booming economy. The duty of government prevailed. Redistribution of the wealth continued and grew to astronomical proportions. The right to property was replaced by dependence on government, the engine of enterprise diminishing, and all the time the power to control the individual growing with elected representatives. Power is mindless. The current economic crises is the consequence of mindless power.

The answer the Federal Government gives the American people, based on Roosevelt's duty of government philosophy-the "inherent duty of government"-is the biggest government spending of all times, the Federal Government content with letting the future take care of itself. We're looking at tax tyranny.

What's the answer? Quit giving full attention to the symptoms of the problem Roosevelt created and look at the cause, the government stealing the individual's independence. Look at the cure, George Washington's and Abraham Lincoln's legacy-individual independence.

The economy produces wealth. Government spends. It's a gross distortion of the truth to say Barrack Obama's "economic stimulus package" is to create jobs. The prime motivation is to increase dependence on government.

Am I right or wrong? What was the Court's position when Roosevelt told the American people the Court was in direct contradiction of the high purposes of the framers of the Constitution? The court's position: "A tax to promote the general welfare cannot be wrested out of its setting and legalized by ignoring its purpose as the mere instrumentality for bringing about a desired end." US v. Butler. Justice Brandeis: "property is only a means. It has been a frequent error of our Court that they have made the means the end." Thus, Roosevelt's philosophy: The means is justified by the end. Is that right? It's the philosophy of every tyrant who ever lived.

In Cooley's Constitutional Limitations, he identified due process with the doctrine of vested rights drawn from natural law. The father of modern law, Cicero, made his distinction in "right reason"-common law-in, "We are born for justice, and right is not the mere arbitrary construction of opinion, but an institution of nature," hence his statement: "the laws are the foundation of the liberty which we enjoy; we are the laws' slaves that we may be free." Is Roosevelt right or is Cicero right?

In the "Bill of Rights," in Amendment Five, we read that the individual may not be deprived of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law. From Roosevelt's legacy, the powers that be have granted the IRS the authority to take every cent of the worker's property-leave him on the street. The only recourse the worker has is to prove the IRS wrong in court. I attempted that. I was told I was a "Fifth Amendment freak." No court in America would hear my case. The Palm Beach Post took my case. The IRS admitted on the front page that it had been mistakenly taking my property for 11 years.

We constantly hear about the need of government to do something to avoid an economic disaster. Why don't we hear about the case of the worker being deprived of his right to exist on the fruits of his labor? We're being brainwashed. Roosevelt's legacy is a virus eating away at independence, personal responsibility, and self-reliance. Someone once said, the price of freedom is eternal vigilance. I suggest that you read my yesterday's post "The light at the End of the Tunnel."

The next great change of thinking, now in its embryonic stage, is known by myself and a growing number of people all over the world. Roosevelt's legacy is prefaced on external authority. The change will be from external to internal, to our internal source of power. All things are subject to the Higher Law-We create our reality.

The Light at the End of the Tunnel

http://inlink.gaia.com — Thu, 19 Feb 2009 15:39:59 GMT

Humpty Dumpty fell off the wall and all the kings men and all the kings horses couldn't put Humpty Dumpty back together again.

We're leaving the Age of Pisces. I read that "Understanding is a most appropriate keyword for this gentle, affectionate sign. Easygoing and generally accepting of others around them, Pisceans are often found in the company of a variety of different personalities. Their willingness to give of themselves emotionally lends to an aura of quiet empathy."

We're entering the Age of Aquarius. I'm Aquarius rising, with a message. I read that I may be "a forerunner in setting style, discovering new methods, and showing the rest of humanity the way." I may be "a chance-taker . . .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." Little wonder that the end of Pisces would be in conflict with Aquarius. Gentle, go-with-the-flow people hate change. Obama's change is the same old deal, the "New Deal." Only Obama's is double time.

The light at the end of the tunnel is the scientific understanding of how and why it all comes together. It's just about to be discovered. But the big news today is Piscean tunnel vision. Let us discuss it. A couple of thoughts for those gentle, affectionate, easygoing and generally accepting folks. "Judge not lest you be judged." "Let him who is without sin cast the first stone." Is this the right way to think? This thought: "Go the extra mile." Hey guys, you don't continue down a road that leads to your demise. Something is missing here. Someone is not thinking.

This thought: If you look like a duck and walk like a duck, you are a duck. No way! Be kind to our web footed friends. Ducks make duck sense. If you look like an imbecile and talk like an imbecile, you are an imbecile. Nobody in government has ever thought better than you for you. The door swings both ways. It's always better for the one doing the best thinking.

Case in point: The 1,100 page "economic stimulus package" just signed by Barrack Obama, to avoid an economic "disaster," said Obama, was printed up, handed out at midnight, and voted on a few hours later-before anyone had read it. Many times Obama has said he wants transparency during his administration.

We are told the said stimulus package is not perfect but better than nothing, meaning we dare not try to make it any better. Three Republicans, all imperialist nabobs of Northeast, voted for it, saying, "This is the best we can do." Right! We must avoid economic disaster (at all costs. The package is loaded with liberal pork) Under the New Deal, it's pay as you go. We leave it to the future to pay. My father paid a total of less than $400 for his old age security. He received a monthly check for 27 years, a 4,000 percent profit on his investment. Today's investors in their old age security will realize a negative return on their investment. Who is doing the best thinking, the taxpayers or government?

Let the facts speak for themselves. We are entering the Age of Aquarius. Man was created with unlimited conscious awareness, and placed in an environment that demanded expanding awareness. We are about to discover the how and why of everything. In the meanwhile, the train has left the station with the biggest con game of all times. Being Aquarian, were I not to make a negative judgment on the Democrat's spending package, I'd be an imbecile. Were I to make a positive judgment, I'd be an imbecile. If I were to make no judgment, I'd be an imbecile. So much for judge not lest you be judged. If you are Picean, lagging in Aquarian awareness, if you are not already, you are certain to become a runt sucking hind tit.

The Missing Link

http://inlink.gaia.com — Wed, 18 Feb 2009 19:22:16 GMT

The astrological zodiac has Earth at the center of the universe. Galileo proved that incorrect 500 years ago, or did he? Until recently, it was believed that the Milky Way galaxy was the whole universe. Today, there are hundreds of billions of galaxies. Our star, the sun, is big enough to hold a million Earths. There are more stars in the universe than all the grains of sand on all the beaches in the world. Within each grain of sand are millions of atoms. An atom consists of a nucleus and electrons surrounding the nucleus. Within the nucleus are quarks. It is theorized that within quarks are "strings." A string, microcosmic to the microcosmic, is indivisible. A string, like a violin string, vibrates.

Every single "thing"(string) in the universe has its vibration. An atom is 99.999 percent space. Why is anything seen solid? The reason we touch a solid object is because the electrons surrounding atoms resist each other. Einstein's basic formula for the universe was: energy equals mass times speed squared. Great! Numbers represent vibrations. Ancient astrologers used numbers and geometric patterns to determine both the characteristics of people and the aspects of matter. Where did Einstein learn this basic formula.?

What we see and touch is nothing like it really is. Einstein proved that light is the ultimate speed. At the speed of light, time stands still. Through telescopes we see the light of galaxies thousands of light years away. We are looking thousands of years into the past. There are "black holes," where not even light can escape magnetic pull. Everything surrounding a black hole is pulled in and ceases to exist, at least as far as we know in our space-time consortium. Science has proved that there are time warps. Time and space are not fixed. You can be at one time here, another time there. Science has now proved, in Bell's theorem, that photons, once connected, remain in instant communication even if light years apart. The universe is more than the sum of its parts.

So, from the astrological zodiac, astrologers have pegged me. There are too many coincidences to call it coincidence. Based on the movements of the heavens, Nostradamus is famous for having predicted the future. The Mayan calendar, based on the movements of the heavens, along with other prophecies, predicts the end of the world in the year 2012. Richard Tarnas, distinguished philosopher and cultural historian, demonstrates in Cosmos and Psyche the existence of consistent correspondence between planetary alignments and the archetypal patterns of human history. Looking within, I'm at the center of the universe, in touch. Looking externally, I'm an insignificant speck.

In "World Wars, Cold War, and September 11," Tarnas writes, "while the Uranus-Pluto periods consistently coincided with widespread revolutionary upheaval, intensified emancipatory impulses, and radical cultural innovation, the successive quadrature alignments of the Saturn-Pluto cycle coincided with especially challenging historical periods marked by a pervasive quality of intense contraction: eras of international crisis and conflict, empowerment of reactionary forces and totalitarian impulses, organized violence and oppression, all sometimes marked by lasting traumatic effects."

"Both the First World War and the Second World War began in precise coincidence with virtually exact hard-aspect alignments of Saturn and Pluto. . . The most recent Saturn-Pluto alignment occurred in precise coincidence with the events of September 11, 2001 . . ." The facts don't back the establishment's ideas. According to Tarnas, the next hard-aspect Saturn-Pluto alignment began in November 2008, and would remain an influence for the following three to four years. The prophecies tell us that the end of the world, at least as we know it, occurs in 2012, wouldn't you know while Obama is president? At a time like this, the best we can do is to elect Barrack Obama. His term of office will end in 2012. Obama has stated many times that he intends to remake America. From his Harvard image, continued in South Chicago, the most corrupt political climate in the United States, Obama's so-called transparent government has not started transparent, not with an eleven-hundred page package costing $800 billion, every dime of it borrowed, and no time given to read it before passage. Hello! What happened?

At this particular time in history, science is close to knowing what the universe looked like at the moment of its birth, close to finding the missing link. We can predict that the missing link will make everything we know now obsolete. Good riddance!

Astrologers maintain that at the moment of our birth, we are given certain characteristics. The right-to-lifers, based on religious teaching-that is, blind faith-say that we are humans from the moment of conception. A house isn't a house when the foundation is in place, is it? There's no house. Take the props away and it falls flat on the ground. It's no house, is it? At the moment of my birth, Saturn and Pluto were in their most favorable alignment, a "trine." Astrologers say that when Saturn and Pluto are trine (quoting from Astrologer's Handbook ) it means the natives have "the ability to understand the laws by which subtle forces are organized, enabling them to use these laws consciously or unconsciously. . .They are able to work slowly and make fundamental and irrevokable changes in their own and others' lives." The faithful above mentioned, those who insist we are human from the moment of conception, with no basis, would say this is nonsense.

Quoting Astrologer's Handbook under "Saturn trine Pluto," "Often there is a sense of destiny or a peculiar karmic mission which they must fulfill. . . In the chart of an average person this aspect will not be strongly marked unless Saturn or Pluto is angular and unless other planets tie into the configuration in a significant way." My astrologer said the configuration of my chart matched the most notable psychics in the world. You are invited to check me out. Looking at my chart, dated July 28, 1975, Birth Data: Date: September, 17, 1925; Time: 4:51 PM CST; Place: Houston, Texas; 29N46, 95W22; Sidereal Time 16:15:24. Were my characteristics determined at conception my characteristics would have been different. They would not match who I am.

The events of my life line up with astrological predictions, not with the faithful. One of the faithful told me God never speaks to physics. Another told me I was a secular humanist, someone who promotes human values without specific allusion to religious doctrine. I say do unto others as you would have them do unto you. If you knew the story of my life, you would know that I found the real me at sea. You would know that my life now is as good as it gets. I look within for my answers. The faithful look to dogmas and doctrines.

At the moment of my birth, the sun rose on me in Aquarius. Astrologers say I'm Virgo with Aquarius rising, a voice of the future. America was born Aquarius. Abraham Lincoln was born Aquarius with Aquarius rising.

In America's Declaration of Independence (from England), it is written, "That to secure these Rights (my God-given rights), Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just Powers from the Consent of the Governed, that whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these Ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Governments."

When the Declaration of Independence was written and signed by America's forefathers, the vast majority of the American people were satisfied to remain under England's rule. It was at great sacrifice and determination that the few who wanted independence from England won America's independence. I believe that man is the lord of his own thoughts. If we all believed that, we would live together in peace. There would not be any wars.

This brings us to the current hard-aspect alignment of Saturn and Pluto, Barrack Obama, his so-called stimulus package, and the end of the world prediction in the year Obama leaves office. We are in a transitory period, according to Tarnas, on page 209, at "the end of an era: ‘The end of innocence,' 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."

We are entering the Age of Aquarius. Jeanne Avery, an astrologer and member of the International Transactional Analysis Association, which promotes a sophisticated theory of personality, motivation, and problem solving, in The Rising Sign, under "Aquarius Rising," wrote: "Aquarius is the sign of the water-bearer to humanity. When this sign is on the ascendant, the individual has a unique approach to life that makes him somehow ‘different' from other people. . . He becomes the water-bearer by walking to the beat of a different drummer. He may be the person to bring back information that has been lost to civilization for centuries."

As I mentioned, the vast majority of the American people were loyal to England (that would have been largely the people of the northeastern United States) when the Declaration of Independence was written and signed by America's forefathers. At the time, in imperialist England the aristocracy advocated government control over the economy. Coincidentally, the three Republicans who voted with Obama's, Pelosi's, and Reid's economic stimulus package, the intelligentsia of the Northeast, who think in terms of government control over the economy, they said, "This is the best we can do." In other words, they know better than we, the people, know how to spend our money.

In America's beginning, she was the envy of the world. People beat a path to her shores, asking only for an equal opportunity. The intelligentsia wants a welfare state. The missing link is the Higher Law, background of America's Constitution. The replacement is law in light of today's needs, which began with the election of Franklin D. Roosevelt, who is claimed by the intelligentsia to be the third greatest president, following George Washington and Abraham Lincoln. Little do they know. This folly will end with Barrack Obama. The new beginning, to quote my guru, Evan Harris Walker in The Physics of Consciousness, is when it is known that in the fabric of reality, "matter, objects-a physical domain exist that is governed by immutable law. But these laws leave open a range of happenings that are left to the selection of the mind. And behind this selection is the will. . . Within the power of our will lies the power to do essentially anything. . . This is the collective will of all sentient beings with the power of determining the state of all events . . . a unity of nature, all things being aspects of the mind." In Washington D.C. is the wise in the ways of the world (after me, you come first).

I call them redistribution freaks. They called me a "Fifth Amendment freak." Do we need these all-wise people leading us? Heaven forbid! We are not meant to be trained animals jumping through hoops.

On Awareness

http://inlink.gaia.com — Mon, 16 Feb 2009 20:49:53 GMT

It takes a mind to be aware. "A mind" is really a state of awareness. "A state" does not have boundaries. We limit our state of mind. We hear only what we want to hear. Recently, I experienced a lengthy power failure. Were it not for my portable generator, I wouldn't have had lights. I ran an extension cord from the generator into the house. I had a light and TV. I couldn't cook on my electric cook stove. My generator soon ran out of fuel.

I live five miles out of town. I didn't have chains for my car. There was a foot of snow on the road. I couldn't eat out or buy fuel for my generator. A neighbor came to my rescue on the fuel problem. I lived on munchies for a couple of days.

The inconvenience made me think about America's pioneers. They had to provide for themselves. Until we're left without, we don't think about how dependent we are on society. I'm 70 percent deaf, retired, and living on government entitlements. What would I do without my entitlements? I can't get a job. I wouldn't be able to pay the mortgage on my home or buy other necessities of life. I depend on the taxpayers. The present taxpayers depend on future taxpayers. How convenient! Let the future take care of itself.

I was self-employed. My pay was not withheld. I had to write a check for the taxes I owed. Some years I made little profit. Some years I made a lot of profit and paid a lot of tax. I would have preferred to have saved the huge tax I paid for my retirement on the years I made a lot of profit. I didn't have the choice. The majority vote was for redistribution of the wealth of the nation.

I could have lived a modest life and saved until I could pay cash for everything. Credit was made made very easy for me. I borrowed and lived well. Government taxed me (the rich) more, borrowed from the people, and gave to the needy. The needy naturally grew in number as did need. Borrowing kept the pot boiling, especially on homes, and borrowing increased.

Requirements for a loan fell to nothing down. Incomes were not checked. Lenders were making a killing in fees. They told people to lie about their incomes; the price increase on their home would take care of everything. Politicians applauded the fact that people who could not afford a home were literally given a home.

Tomorrow could take care of itself. The price of homes skyrockeded until the day of reckoning arrived. The money ran out. The price of homes fell. People couldn't pay their mortgages. The taxpayers were forced to bail out irresponsible lenders. Help is on the way for those who can't pay their mortgages; that is, help from the taxpayers. To be fair about it, why doesn't the government just pay off everyone's mortgage. It wouldn't cost as much as is going to be spent in the so-called stimulus bill.

America's voters have not been thinking, not since Franklin D. Roosevelt became president-Roosevelt, who historians rate just behind Abraham Lincoln! Before the Great Depression, America's rate of unemployment was the lowest in the world. For every year that Roosevelt was president, America's rate of unemployment was higher that Europe's rate of unemployment. Roosevelt's answers for the Great Depression didn't work. World War II ended the depression. Based on Roosevelt's answers, the Democrats, led by President Obama, have now obligated the taxpayers with the biggest government single bill of spending of all times. It's aimed at stopping an economic decline and growing unemployment.

Who is this Barrack Obama so many trust? From his own auto-biography, he's someone who did not know who he was in his formative years. Although he came from a dysfunctional family-white mother, black father who deserted him a couple of days after Obama was born-raised by his white grandparents, he decided to be an "Aftro-American." He'd never lived like an Afro-American. It's like me, a native American, deciding to be a Chinaman. Obama's grandmother financed him to a Harvard ducation-Harvard the intellectual capital of the world. This nobody from nowheresville, now an intellectual, Obama continued his education in South Chicago, with Reverend Wright's vituperation against whites for guidance. Obama has disowned all of his former cronies, and now claims to be everyone's President. He pushed his 1,100 page "stimulus" package, got it passed without being read, and calls his administration transparent.

From a campaign of platitudes-nothing definite-in less than a month after taking office, he has unified the Republicans against him, most economists say his plan will not work, his support is leaving him, and he and his fellow Democrats say his plan is not perfect, but better than nothing.

"Better than nothing," the usual Democrat's chant; better in the short term; let the future take care of itself-hey, we've got to do better than that. Five hundred years ago, western authority placed Earth at the center of the universe, and themselves as God's vicars. The people had nothing to say about their fate. Presently, we've got the kind who either can't or will not think for themselves, and Obama, thinking himself at the center of it all. We've got Obama, the caretaker. We're turning back to the Dark Ages.

Our world is becoming too fast-paced for the self-serving thinkers in control of America. In short order, America will find herself at the bottom of the heap.

The light at the end of the tunnel is the cutting edge of science. Within the next five years, a new telescope, soon to be rocketed into space, is going to prove that intelligent life must surely exist on millions of planets in the universe. We've learned that the timespace universe is not fixed. There is such a thing as time warps. Furthermore, if it were possible to travel through space at the speed of light, one could depart, travel for a thousand years without aging a day, and return to Earth a thousand years later. Without time and space there wouldn't be a future and a past. Science now theorizes the universe is multidimensional. There is a dimension of infinite possibility. What we observe becomes our reality. Science expects to soon know what the universe looked like a few nanoseconds after the "Big Bang." Instead of knowing what is and how it works, we will know why it is and why it works. It will radically change our lives.

Getting back to the subject, our self-imposed limited awareness-taking it all for granted-we can't any longer afford it.

I'm told that Pakistan and Mexico are the two most unstable nations in the world. Mexico could be taken over by drug cartels, Pakistan by the Taliban. We are not about to win the war on terror. It's getting worse, for a very good reason. The United States, the most powerful nation in the world, prides itself as being the moral authority for the world. It comes from America's Judeo-Christian heritage. My moral authority comes from within. I know right from wrong. Do unto others as you would have them do unto you. You can do whatever you want as long as you don't impose on my right to do the same. I presume Jesus would have said the same.

Christians came later. Like George W. Bush, Obama's a Christian. With that in mind, is it good for the nation for Obama and the Democrats to look for and kill Osama bin Laden in the mountains of Pakistan? Most Pakistanis loath and despise the United States.

Did America's moral authority know best when it claimed that black people could be owned by white people, the same as cows and mules-that God cursed black people? And how about native Americans?

We're talking about America's authorities, of course. America's pioneers looked within for their answers. America was the most admired nation in the world. The current moral authority-America's intellectually elite claiming to know what is best for us-is not necessarily so.

In the October term, 1980 (Case Number 1570), in the Supreme Court of the United States, opposing the Commissioner of Internal Revenue, on Writ of Certiorari to the United States Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit, I, Joseph W. Smith, Jr., Pro Per, appeared to claim: (1) the taxing authority was so arbitrary and wanting for classification as to question whether the exaction was not simply a confiscation of property under the guise of tax; (2) whether the court below neglected its judicial function in summarily affirming the United Tax Court's decision, having disregarded the questions put to it in a manner in conflict with applicable decisions of this Court; and departing so far from the accepted and usual course of judicial proceeding when two parties are in equity before the law; and having so far sanctioned the departure by three lower courts-their erroneous decisions pursuant to 26 U.S.C. 7421 and 28 U.S.C. 1346, and pursuant to State v. Rossi 43 A 2d 323, 71 RI 284; (See Reasons for Granting Writ), and regarding respondent's conspiracy to defraud petitioner, pursuant to the provisions of 26 U.S.C. sections 6213, 7605(db), 6402(a), 6512(a) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1954-as to call for an exercise of this Court's power of supervision.

In more simple language, the IRS was lawlessly taking my property. Without a word, the U.S. Supreme Court dismissed me.

In The Palm Beach Post, Monday, December 1, 1986, on the front page of the Local News, this headline appeared: "Taxpayer wages 11-year feud with IRS."

"Holger Euringer, IRS public relations officer in Jacksonville, said last week that the agency had been wrong all along and that Smith soon would receive a letter of apology from the IRS district director. . . We're very sorry and we apologize. We did not intend in any way to harass or intimidate him, but I can see why he might have that impression."

After the Supreme Court dismissed me, I filed a complaint in the U.S. District Court (my third complaint). The court ordered the IRS to refund, with interest, the money confiscated. I was paid five months after the court order, and one day before the court was going to hold the United States in contempt of the court's order.

"On Nov. 5, the IRS issued a notice to Barnett Bank of Palm Beach saying it wanted the $960 in Smith's bank account because he owed $961.70 on his 1974 return. Euringer said the Nov 5 bank account levy was a mistake."

Under "Reasons for Granting the Writ," quoting Roosevelt, "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 balance of power between the three great branches of the Federal Government has been tipped out of balance by the Court in direct contradiction of the high purpose of the framers of the Constitution. We have reached the point where we must take action to save the Constitution from the Court."

"Justice Brandeis and some of his brothers would reason: "property is only a means. It has been a frequent error of our Court that they have made the means the end."

The means is justified by the end. Too bad for taxpayers. The Supreme Court didn't want to hear otherwise.

In my case against the Commissioner of Internal Revenue, Under "Property Rights, a Higher Law in Question":

"This Court's test as to a right is whether the right at issue is ‘of the very essence of a scheme of ordered liberty,'" by reason that neither liberty nor justice would exist if such a right were sacrificed. . ."

"A tax to promote the general welfare cannot wrested out of its setting and legalized by ignoring its purpose as the mere instrumentality for bringing about a desired end." U.S. v. Butler, 297 U.S. 1, 61 (1936)

The question remains, and is still unanswered. Does Barrack Obama have the authority to wrest the general welfare of the American people out of their Constitution and legalize his spending bill as the mere instrumentality for bringing about a desired end, keeping the IRS in mind and its lawless operation?

If there is anyone left in Washington representing the American people, let him step forward and tell it like it really is. We've legalized a mafia type of government.
