An economics professor at a local college made a statement that he had never failed a single student before, but had recently failed an entire class. That class had insisted that Obama’s socialism would work, and that no one would be poor and no one would be rich – a great equalizer.
The professor then said, “OK, we will have an experiment in this class on Obama’s plan.”
All grades would be averaged, and everyone would receive the same grade – so no one would have to fail, but no one would be able to receive an A.
After the first test, the grades were averaged and everyone got a B. The students who studied hard were upset and the students who studied little were happy. As the second test rolled around, the students who studied little had studied even less and the ones who studied hard decided they wanted a free ride, too, so they studied far less. The second test average was a D. No one was happy.
When the 3rd test finally rolled around, the average was an F.
As the tests proceeded, the scores never increased – but bickering, blame and name-calling all resulted in hard feelings and no one would agree to study for the benefit of anyone or everyone else. All failed, to their great surprise, and the professor explained to them that socialism would also ultimately fail for exactly the same reason – because when the reward is great, the effort to succeed is great, but when someone (government) takes the reward away, no one will try or care enough to strive to succeed.
Couldn’t be any simpler than that.
Please pass this on. And, remember, there IS a test coming up, we can’t afford to fail in 2012

"Fair enough thought and observation, Raymond. Just one thing. If you’re talking about merely a linear, material scenario in a world of scarcity, I would agree with you. But consider for a moment a different “reward”, and motivation for contributing one’s best to the welfare of all humanity. If everyone gives of their best to one another, out of gratitude to their Creator for life with meaning, then we can release the training wheels of interest-bearing money and fractional-reserve banking – drop the money-changers from sullying the temple of life and controlling humanity through fear – and move now into a new era. Not the New World Order planned for us by those puffed up by pride and power; but a stage of synthesis of all that has gone before, into a global society of brothers and sisters living closer to the ideal of their Creator.
"One Planet – One Humanity – One Destiny. On a higher level than that planned for us by those holding the power strings today, out of ignorance of, and denial of, their true Source.
"Love them, too; and they’ll come around. But don’t wait for that to happen, while you usher in the new in your own life. Do it for its own sake. Not out of a sense of a reward for doing so. And if we do, then ‘all else will be added unto us’. In abundance."
We really need to get away from thinking in terms of reward for effort via money. Money - the money system currently in vogue - needs to go. And I'm not talking about communism as its replacement. Communism is merely a horse of a different colour: Humans thinking to rule humans by force and fear. I'm talking about our releasing the role of 'profit' in human endeavour. Thinking to make a personal 'profit' on some activity. When the answer to the future is to do things, and think of things, as a benefit to humanity - us - as a whole. To do unto others as we would have them do unto us. Knowing - really getting - that as we do to others, so do we do to ourselves. Because beyond the realm of separation - outside of the matrix that we are embedded in - We Are All One. So we are doing literally to ourselves as we do to others.
Otherwise, the role of profit in giving individuals an incentive to do things will continue to lead us astray, and down such roads as the road to a dystopian, police-state future - the road planned for us now, by our human/moneyed/erstwhile Masters, and down which we are proceeding, seemingly at an accelerating pace.
Item. Vaccines that are causing infertility - on purpose. (Especially the HPV vaccine, and the flu vaccines.)
Item. GM foods, by which humanity can be controlled (patented seeds); and thus, towards which humanity is being herded, by such measures as the state outlawing access to the foodstuffs of private, organic gardens. Can't have that; that's independence, and health. Need dependence, and ill health, so that people can be controlled more easily. Case in point: the current e-coli scare in Europe, with a superbug that has all the earmarks of having been engineered.
Mike Adams, of Natural News, has written and videoed well of this appalling matter.
My response to one of his articles on this subject:
(Mike Adams:Forensic evidence that e-coli superbug engineered as germ warfare)
[19/6]
"Thanks, Mike, for this info. Yes, there is still an outside chance that there were enough antibiotics as water contaminants that they somehow resulted in 8 classes being resisted by this e-coli strain. But that chance begins to pale against the other current factors that you mention.* Taken all together, the most likely answer is what you suggest. And that means that the PTB are getting to a very serious stage of their agenda to cull and control the human populace by any means possible. And P.S.: Vaccines cause the immune system to be suppressed. So what a clever tool: seed superbugs into the environment, and then create vaccines for more and more illness & disease conditions, which then suppress the immune system, making more and more people susceptible to illness and death...these erstwhile Controllers are a perfect example of what happens when Man loses sight of his basic nature, and purpose, as 'spiritual beings having a human experience'. ('Without a vision, the people perish' - in more ways than one.) The PTB need to be deposed from their positions of power, and stat."
* Such factors as how the U.S. Congress recently passed a 'food safety' law that was really about curtailing the public's access to fresh, organic foodstuffs, and putting the public thereby further in the hands of the likes of Monsanto - who were obviously unhappy with Spain's voting to keep the EU GM-free; and one thing leads to another in life, and in this case, Spain's food exports dealt a deadly blow by being 'advertised' as responsible for the e-coli superbug outbreak in the EU.
All of which brings up the matter of the HIV pathogen, and the considerable evidence that it, too, was engineered; and on and on, in the murky matter of pathogens stalking humanity, to keep the populace controlled and sickly. A humanity needing now to break out of its controlling matrix.
The moneyless society will take care of this controlling factor in one fell swoop. Since there will be no more 'incentivizing' to make money off dealing with people as sheep to be sheared - without the carrot of 'profit' motivating the activities of the individuals in the society - the only activities that will take place will be those that enhance life, and living; in alignment with our higher natures, as 'spiritual beings having a human experience'.
And not a moment too soon.
Humanity: Tear down this wall that is keeping us from expressing our higher natures, for the sake of doing so; not for an expectation of personal gain.
The wall that is made of money.
The wall that IS money.
Interest-bearing money, with its companion piece, fractional-reserve banking.
Time, and counting, for it to go.
And a new world to be gained from its passing.
A far, far better world than we have known heretofore.
On this plane of existence, at least.

There's Gold And Then There's Gold...
Title of article on conservative byte, 16/6:
'Tidal Wave of Gold Demand Coming: WGC' (World Gold Council)
India and China are going to increase their percentage of gold holdings, as the world economic outlook looks bleaker and bleaker, and the system creakier and creakier. Greece, Ireland, Portugal, Spain...and the keystone, the U.S., so hopelessly in debt that it can't possibly come out from under the load, without defaulting, and throwing the whole global system into chaos.
Sounds terrible; right?
Well. Not necessarily.
Sometimes things have to get worse before they can get better.
Part of my answer to this current dilemma, as a comment to the above article:
"I trust people are beginning to understand that as more and more people 'go to gold' they will still be at the mercy of the PTB because the PTB, who have instigated this collapse of the world's economic system, are already there, having staked out their position long ago. So 'sound money' isn't the answer: the PTB will still control that, too.
"To paraphrase FDR: When something happens in the political and financial realms, you can bet that somebody planned it that way.
"Why would they jeopardize their own wealth? Because they are playing a longer game. They have known for years that the one thing that is standing in the way of their New World Order is America, with its Constitution. And that the only way to get rid of the Constitution, and merge the U.S. into their global [police-state] system, is to create conditions for Martial Law to be declared and imposed - because of 'a state of national emergency' - and massive powers to be delegated to the executive. And it doesn't matter to them whether that erstwhile dictator is from the 'right' or the 'left', because they control both sides of the nominal two-party system.
"So what's the answer?, if not gold??
"The answer is what they would also like to impose: electronic money. But just not the e-money that they want. They still want an interest-bearing money system, because that puts The People in perpetual debt to the money barons, ie, the perpetrators of this whole charade.
"It is time for the money changers to be sent packing from the temple of life on Earth, and The People uniting in a system based on Love, not profit; circulating goods and services, and giving of their best to one another, out of the crowning motive for human interaction: out of gratitude to our Creator for life with meaning. In a New World Order, all right. Just not the one planned by the little gods on the planet. Who have actually been doing God's work, 'His wonders to perform' - taking humanity so far into great Crisis that it has allowed great Opportunity. The Opportunity to move above the level of the problem, onto the level of the solution.
"The only solution possible. Well, there is chaos and violence and destruction possible, yes; involution into the animal part of our nature. That's free will for you. But the only viable solution, now, is to go neither left nor right, but Up. And on a planetary level.
"So thank you, PTB, for driving the historical process to a globalized level - a state of Synthesis, in hegelian terms. The People will take over now, thank you very much. And create a higher level of civilization than ever heretofore, for being worldwide, now. On dear old Planet Earth, sorely needing us to get our act together, and stop fouling our abundant nest.
"One Planet - One Humanity - One Destiny. That's the ticket to the future. The true, higher-road future. Not the dystopian future of Orwell's '1984' scenario. That's such a pitiful approximation of our human potential. Thank you, no thank you, that one. I for one will take the road less traveled by, And meet you on the Mountain Top. Or not. Your choice."
What am I talking about. I'm talking about a system similar to a LETS system, where the 'money' is simply a medium of exchange; a balancing of credits and debits. Where we give service to each other out of Love; out of the gratitude that I referred to above. And if we do - when we do - all else will be added unto us...
Why will people move into this new paradigm, this higher level of consciousness?
Because it's time to. Because we have pushed ourselves up to the limits of the current level of consciousness; and can either collapse terribly into chaos, or evolve.
And the key element that will help us evolve to that higher level of consciousness is the understanding of the truth about reincarnation. That we have been playing parts - now prince, now pauper; now male, now female - to learn lessons. To grow in consciousness from the life experience. To gain wisdom And now it's time to leave the role-playing behind - step mindfully off the stage - and engage in the real thing.
Which is the awareness that We Are All One.
And it is time to head back to that Unity of Being that is our real state of being.
Not these separate selves, that have become too fastened on the drama, on the Play, to realise what it is, and has been.
For long enough now.
Time now for the real thing.
Which is living in the awareness that life is an illusion.
Is a school. And the purpose is to graduate.
Join the procession.

'What Is The New Way?'
Recent items in the news:
* 'Research links big bonuses to risky takeovers' - The (Glasgow) Herald, 19/5. ("Bankers who are paid big bonuses for completing acquisitions are more likely to engage their banks in risky behaviour, according to a new study...")
* 'Anxiety keeps the super-rich safe from middle-class rage' - op-ed by Peter Wilby, the Guardian, same date. ("The pay gap at the top should change the terms of political trade. But the squeezed middle must first learn to look up...")

* 'Slow death of the dollar' - article in the Business section of the London Times by Iain Dey, 29/5. ("The greenback remains reserve currency of the world but China's renminbi is starting to draw followers...Big investors around the world don't want to stuff all their savings into an asset that everyone expects to fall in value.

* 'Options and futures: the speculators playing with our daily bread' - article in the Guardian, 3/6. ("In the final part of our series, Felicity Lawrence looks at the link between rising food prices and poorly regulated commodities markets.")
As to this issue of poor regulation, consider this, from an article by Russell Targ carried on realitysandwich.com & posted on 31/5:
"Traditionally, banks lend money to homeowners for their mortgages and retain the risk of default, called credit risk. However, due to twenty-first centurey financial innovations, banks can now sell rights to the mortgage payments and pass on related credit risk to other banks and securities dealers through a process called securitization. Until 2000, the Roosevelt era Glass-Steagall Act prohibited banks from offering investment, commercial banking, or insurance services. But the Republican driven Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act of 1999 allows commercial and investment banks to consolidate and create securities out of their junk mortgages. That is, your local bank can now wrap up hundreds of worthless home loans in tinfoil, tie them with a ribbon, and call them securities. A bank no longer cares whether or not the boorrower will ever pay back the loan, because it wil soon be bundled and sold to someone else. These are called 'ninja' loans - no income, no job, no assets. This new 'originate to distribute' banking model means credit risk has been distributed broadly to investors around the world, with a series of consequential impacts. Economist have criticized Texas senator Phil Gramm's deregulation Act as a principal contribution to the on-going subprime mortgage financal crisis, arguing that the 'bail out' amounts to corporate welfare for financial institutions and a moral hazard that will make taxpayers pay dearly - $700 billion so far..."
Shades of the Savings & Loan scam and scandal of a couple of decades ago. These people are nothing if not insistent. And predictable...
Enough background. Sufficient background, to my concluding comment on this blog.
From a Comments thread on an article, entitled 'Global Revolution by Winter', by business critic Gerald Celente, appearing on the 3/6 e-newsletter Before It's News, originally appearing (on 27/5) at business insider.com:
Led on May 28 [spelling & punctuation as original]
"we need a new way. the Spanish are right. so are the greeks and arabs. The left and the right each have their flaws and people can finally see them. We are all unhappy. we are all getting screwed no matter what party gets in. the middle class is forgotten. we need a new way. this old way hasn't worked for a long time. The middle class reached it's peak in the 60s and 70s and its been downhill ever since.
what is the new way?"
kibitzer - June 8 [me]
"The new way, Led, is to stop looking linearly - Left or Right - and look up. To a new paradigm of life on Earth. Characterized in particular by a lack of money as a motivator; and getting to fundamental basics about life.
Consider. Either there is a 'God' - something more than Man; a reason for life, beyond just in and for itself only - or there is not. If there is not, then nothing really matters anyway, and one might as well live one's life exclusively for oneself - independent of the effect of that pursuit on others - as not; for the end of the closed system of life can, then, as easily be seen as that as anything else, a presumed evolutionary advantage in cooperating with others, or whatever. (Dinosaurs don't care about the future.) If there is, however, then certain things follow.
It follows for one thing that there is Plan in and Purpose to life; that life has meaning, beyond just in and for itself. And there you have your answer to your question: the new way is to recognize this reality - really. And when we do, people will exchange goods and services between themselves, and give of their best to one another, out of the highest motive there is: out of gratitude to their Creator for life with meaning. And if they do, then 'all things will be added unto them'.
Including the creation of a level of civilization operating on a higher level of consciousness than now.
Just waiting for us to look up. See it. And get there.
And I'm not talking about 'religions'. I'm talking about spirituality. About the recognition of the whole of the life experience. Which involves higher dimensions than just the material level. Which is all that is recognized by atheists. Also known as Flatlanders.
Ignorance may be bliss. But it's a drag. Especially on human social evolution."
And them's my thoughts on the subject for tonight.

A Sign of the Times - Updated
(1) At a Way of the Council evening (26/5) in the Upper Community Centre of the Findhorn Foundation, to the question posed by the moderator, ‘As a male, what do I see as my role in the current crisis’, I said something like:
(to the fellow next to me on the cushions in the inner circle - with the females, after their own council sitting, acting now as witnesses for the males - who shared how he saw his role to do with worms, as in composting in the garden, and to bring joy into his work) “I like the specific nature of your sharing. I can get very philosophical about this sort of question - and I will, now - but my heart is in it as well.
“I see my role as a male in this time of crisis as taking the responsibility to help humanity see the way through the Crisis, to the Opportunity on the other side. And it is a big Opportunity. Big Crisis creates big Opportunity. And I’m not going to talk about the glass being half full or half empty. I’m talking about THE way to go, to get to that better world on the other side of the divide from here. I’m talking about what we called, in the ‘70s here, the New Age. A time of major change on the planet.
“And the way to get there is to do away with money. Especially interest-bearing money; which has been in the way, from time immemorial, for us to be brothers and sisters on this planet, creating community.
“And if people say, ‘It’ll never happen,’ I can only say; ‘Sorry; that’s the way to do it. The way that it is going to come about. The only way that it WILL come about.’
“And if they say, ‘But how do you motivate people without money,’ I reply: ‘With the highest motive there is. That people will exchange goods and services, and give of their best to one another in all that they do, out of gratitude to their Creator for life with meaning.’
“So yes, people will have to believe in that. But that’s part of the consciousness-raising that needs to happen” (nodding across the circle to an elderly Wider Community fellow who had used the word in his sharing).
“And we males have the responsibility to bring that world about. Because we created the Crisis.”
(My thought before the sharing itself was to phrase it something like:
‘I see my role as a male in the current crisis as to take the responsibility to help suggest the way to get through the crisis to the great Opportunity on the other side/to to make a suggestion, or suggestions, about how to get through the crisis to” - etc.. I’m pretty sure that in the event I dropped the word ‘suggestion’, and, by that, made my comment a little stronger. More in keeping with my sense of need for movement on this front.)
If I had to do it over, I would add the words, at the end of the statement about ‘gratitude for life with meaning’: “Knowing that we are all One anyway.”
(2) At an Elders meeting on 31/5, in a circle of Foundation members coming up to retirement age (or, in my case, already there) with some members of the Foundation's 'Spiritual & Personal Development' (Personnel) department, we were asked to look, in a meditation, down the road to 10 years' time, and open ourselves to our High Dream of what it would look like here in the Foundation Community, particularly in relation to this question, and growing issue, of retirement. My response:
We were there. In the new paradigm for humanity. Functioning in a moneyless society. And so the current question, of how to finance retirement matters, or allow for them in some way, was moot. We were living in a resource-based economy -
like the Zeitgeist Movement envisions for humanity. Except with the missing element to their vision, of and for the future, in place:
The vertical alignment.
With Spirit.
Breathing into the situation we are faced with the piece of the picture that gives it wholeness.
Whereby the answer is to go neither Left nor Right but Up.
To a new, higher level, of consciousness.
And thus, the reason why there is so much frustration in the body of humanity at this time.
Because too many people are looking for the answers on a two-dimensional, strictly linear level.
Lift up your eyes, unto the hills, we have been advised from days of old.
Precisely.
To the sunlit hills of a world functioning on the application of love; not the pursuit of profit.
Where and when we will have moved from the love of power to the the power of Love.
It's (r)evolution time.
(to the fellow next to me on the cushions in the inner circle - with the females, after their own council sitting, acting now as witnesses for the males - who shared how he saw his role to do with worms, as in composting in the garden, and to bring joy into his work) “I like the specific nature of your sharing. I can get very philosophical about this sort of question - and I will, now - but my heart is in it as well.
“I see my role as a male in this time of crisis as taking the responsibility to help humanity see the way through the Crisis, to the Opportunity on the other side. And it is a big Opportunity. Big Crisis creates big Opportunity. And I’m not going to talk about the glass being half full or half empty. I’m talking about THE way to go, to get to that better world on the other side of the divide from here. I’m talking about what we called, in the ‘70s here, the New Age. A time of major change on the planet.
“And the way to get there is to do away with money. Especially interest-bearing money; which has been in the way, from time immemorial, for us to be brothers and sisters on this planet, creating community.
“And if people say, ‘It’ll never happen,’ I can only say; ‘Sorry; that’s the way to do it. The way that it is going to come about. The only way that it WILL come about.’
“And if they say, ‘But how do you motivate people without money,’ I reply: ‘With the highest motive there is. That people will exchange goods and services, and give of their best to one another in all that they do, out of gratitude to their Creator for life with meaning.’
“So yes, people will have to believe in that. But that’s part of the consciousness-raising that needs to happen” (nodding across the circle to an elderly Wider Community fellow who had used the word in his sharing).
“And we males have the responsibility to bring that world about. Because we created the Crisis.”
(My thought before the sharing itself was to phrase it something like:
‘I see my role as a male in the current crisis as to take the responsibility to help suggest the way to get through the crisis to the great Opportunity on the other side/to to make a suggestion, or suggestions, about how to get through the crisis to” - etc.. I’m pretty sure that in the event I dropped the word ‘suggestion’, and, by that, made my comment a little stronger. More in keeping with my sense of need for movement on this front.)
If I had to do it over, I would add the words, at the end of the statement about ‘gratitude for life with meaning’: “Knowing that we are all One anyway.”
(2) At an Elders meeting on 31/5, in a circle of Foundation members coming up to retirement age (or, in my case, already there) with some members of the Foundation's 'Spiritual & Personal Development' (Personnel) department, we were asked to look, in a meditation, down the road to 10 years' time, and open ourselves to our High Dream of what it would look like here in the Foundation Community, particularly in relation to this question, and growing issue, of retirement. My response:
We were there. In the new paradigm for humanity. Functioning in a moneyless society. And so the current question, of how to finance retirement matters, or allow for them in some way, was moot. We were living in a resource-based economy -
like the Zeitgeist Movement envisions for humanity. Except with the missing element to their vision, of and for the future, in place:
The vertical alignment.
With Spirit.
Breathing into the situation we are faced with the piece of the picture that gives it wholeness.
Whereby the answer is to go neither Left nor Right but Up.
To a new, higher level, of consciousness.
And thus, the reason why there is so much frustration in the body of humanity at this time.
Because too many people are looking for the answers on a two-dimensional, strictly linear level.
Lift up your eyes, unto the hills, we have been advised from days of old.
Precisely.
To the sunlit hills of a world functioning on the application of love; not the pursuit of profit.
Where and when we will have moved from the love of power to the the power of Love.
It's (r)evolution time.

bin Laden is Dead - Or Was He All Along??
Today a friend emailed me - knowing of my interest in all things socio-econo-political (& especially with a suspicious cast to it) - a link regarding the story about the 'taking down' of Osama bin Laden. My response to him:
"Hi
"(1) You sent me a Facebook link to an 'Osama Shot Down Video', but the only thing I can get out of it is a picture of supposedly his face - a picture that other sites have shown is a picture that has already been shown on the internet, at the least back on the 13th of April. And those other sites have also had comments, from Photoshop experts, that it has been created, is not the real thing. Precisely like Obama's supposed original-form birth certificate recently released. So this would all appear to be disinfo. Am I not linking to your site right, and is there an actual video involved??
"(2) There are shots on the MSM of a group of people with Obama looking on in the White House as a live feed from a Navy Seal's helmet camera at the take-down scene shows a shooting. But there is no proof that the person being shot is Obama. Indeed, there are many reports from the internet that he died years ago; some say of kidney failure quite soon after 9/11 (which he never took credit for, indeed said he had nothing to do with it - except on phony/doctored videos with a stand-in), and some others say at a later date. (Benazir Bhutto, the former woman PM of Pakistani who was assassinated, said on camera to David Frost in 2007 that Obama "had been killed" previously, by one of the men she suspected was behind the first assassination attempt on her life.) So 'they' could have kept him on ice for a perfect, opportune time to play theatre, and give somebody - either George W. or his successor in the presidency, from the power elite's stable of players - some great PR.
"Especially with all the cover-up regarding Obama's bc (& other documents), and the recent heating up of that subject, it would appear that that sort of "perfect, opportune time" just came up, for the perps of this whole disgusting affair to 'show and tell': "Look here, at what we want you to look at. See the pictures?" What I see is: images. Either picture or image: looks can be deceiving. Especially with experts playing their Mind Control games these days. These interesting times we live in..."
These 'interesting times' include a lot of this sort of thing. Images. Mainstream media material for the masses. Material that can more accurately be described as bumf. As in 'bum fodder'.
The pharmaceutical industry in particular plays this game to a 't'. No wonder they have wanted - and in the U.S., succeeded - to be able to advertise their products directly to the public. Just so are they selling the public on their latest goodies, with pretty pictures of nature scenes and smiling faces. I say 'smiling faces' because it's all image. It's based on the success of the advice of the first great PR propaganda expert, Edward Bernays, who sold the American public on a number of attitudes and products, including fluoridation of its drinking water supplies; the latter by getting an obvious scientist type to stand up there on the tv screen and play the role of shill, er, expert. And that particular sell job has lasted down to this day. No matter all the evidence that has accumulated since that this cumulative poison is doing major damage to our bodies and minds. If it's on tv - on 'the screen' - it must be true. And just so was the take-down of the World Trade Center towers sold to the American people, and the world, as what it purported to show, as interpreted by 'experts' on that atrocious day.
We are, in short, too wedded to image. And that's why, eg, the so-called 'birthers' need to stick to their metaphorical guns and never waver from their determination to get to the answer to their stubborn question: 'Where's the birth certificate?' Not some easy-to-manipulate image on our tv screens. But the real, original, thing.
- and that needs to be scrutinized by (the people's) experts, too. Because these are big stakes these people who would be our masters are playing for. For precisely that reason. Not so much Masters of the Universe. They'll take just a bite out of that apple, and settle for being Masters of the World.
And even that is a bridge too far. And won't be allowed them. Because there is justice in the universe. And this Earth will continue to be a place where the souls that incarnate here can grow, and learn from their lessons. Not be stifled by our erstwhile masters, who would take away our free will, and make us be, simply, obedient little robots, supporting their best-laid plans; totally subservient to their will.
Won't happen.
Would I force the issue, in taking away their free will to act thusly?
No.
I'll trust the awakening consciousness of The People, to do the right thing.
But they really do need to wake up to what is going on in their midst. And stop taking in just the images that they are presented with, to play games on the screens of their minds. But to look beneath the surface of such things; and realise that an artful agenda is being played out on them. A very clever agenda. But one getting a bit too clever, out of the arrogance of the perpetrators' success so far. Which will be their downfall.
Just as greed is proving to be the downfall of the capitalist economic system.
A bridge too far...
My message to the mass of humanity, slowly, slowly being herded into the corral already set up for them, just waiting for Der Tag to spring the trap:
You have been given free will to do with as you will. But I am here to help wake you up to your potential to do as highly as your Most High Creator wills for you to do. And if you will do that, together we can create on Earth a literal Garden of Eden.
Let's get to it. The sooner, the better. The longer that decision is put off, the deeper into trouble we are going to go, for being so out of alignment with our true Purpose. Which is to ascend in consciousness; firstly to a higher level than we are currently occupying.
Which level leads to such phenomena as phony pictures projected onto our minds, and sold - attempted to be sold - as the real thing.
Don't ever buy a pig in a poke.
Even one - especially one - with lipstick on.
P.S. Why do i say, your 'Most High Creator'?
Ah. Well. That elucidation is for another time. This time is just to draw attention to illusions, within the larger Illusion. Also known as our school. Wherein the purpose is to graduate.
Not to get stuck in the lower grades.
Along with lower grade, photoshopped, images...
...ironically mimicking (mirroring??) our own, of our selves.
Our true selves.
Just waiting to be born.

Where Angels Fear to Tread
One of the conservative e-newsletters that I take (in counterbalance to the various liberal sites I also peruse, to get a feel for the whole range of the political dialogue going on in my home country of the U.S.) has a particular Christian bent to it. A discussion was going on there recently into the appropriate role for a Christian to take as regards an "unrighteous" government - whether to 'render unto Caesar what is Caesar's' obediently, because the state is in the role of the sovereign; etc. Both the Old Testament and the New Testament were brought into the debate; and at times it was getting rather heated, and accusatory, along the lines of who was the better Christian. To my taste, it was beginning to appear like an argument regarding how many Angels can dance on the head of a pin; and I couldn't resist weighing into the forum. The particular blog was headed 'The Right to Petition the Government For a Redress of Grievances', by one Gary Demar; my contribution:
"This issue should be very clear in this country, from the Declaration of Independence through the Constitution. It is the right, nay the duty, of The People to throw off oppressive government, since the government is and was to be one 'of, by and for the people' - not a ruling monarch, be that secular or clerical. The first step in such a cleansing would, of course, be by the power of the vote - vox populi, in the setting of a republican form of government, ie, of elected representatives. But if an injustice has taken place, and the Congress fails to act on it, the people can, indeed, petition that body for a redress of grievances. And if that body will not yield to the express wish of the people, then it can be dissolved by the power of the people, from whom it derives its power, and a new such body of representatives of the people be installed ("in a time certain"). Now obviously, that dissolvement should best be by non-violent means, since violence begets violence [and thus simply leaves matters on the same level as the problem]. And that spirit, of non-violent means, is what is contained in the term 'civil disobedience', which is a legitimate form of political discourse, especially in such a specifically-delineated body politic as pertains in the crowning achievement of the experimentation in self-governance, America." And then I took it out of simply the realm of theory into specific hypothesis:
"Let's say that it turns out that serious question arises as to the eligibility of an elected president of the United States to hold that particular office, and he (or she) not only fails to authorize release of the documentation that would clear the matter up, but actively intercedes in keeping that documentation from the public. Let's say that members of the public then try to take the matter to the judicial branch of government, but are thwarted in their efforts for 'disclosure' on the judicially-determined technical grounds of not having 'standing' in the matter; and they find, subsequent to that attempt to achieve justice, that the party that has the legalistic 'standing' is Congress. Then let's say that members of the public try to get Congress to act on the matter; the matter of their legitimate grievance - very far from legitimately to be considered a 'frivolous' (although certainly 'vexatious' to the defendant) grievance; especially as the office in question is also that of the Commander in Chief of the country's military, who are oathbound to uphold the Constitution through their military chain of command (and therefore certainly should by rights have 'standing', and the right to 'disclosure' in a court of law; but that's another grievance).* And let's say that what they get for their efforts is an invitation to go fly a kite.
"Grounds for civil disobedience? You bet.
"What can The People do in such an event. They can take the advice, and lump it. Or they can march on Washington - preferably peaceably, for a redress of their grievance - and remain there until the person who has 'asked' the American people to buy a pig in a poke for their presidency either establishes - to their satisfaction - his eligibility, or vacates the office; and if the latter scenario unfolds, The People can remain until the sitting Congress dissolves itself, for not having upheld its duty in the matter. Perhaps helped along in its deliberations by statements from the several State legislatures, in the spirit of the 10th Amendment to the Constitution. The whole process engaged in under the spirit of the 9th Amendment - the spirit of the whole American exercise in self-government.
"But whatever you do, don't let anybody tell you - and get away with it - that you have to abide by the dictates of an unrighteous government, in the exercise of your free moral agency. That has been a ploy that has been utilized by tyrants - both secular and clerical - for far too long, in the checkered history of mankind. And is well due for a change.
"Tell such would-be leaders: Checkmate. The People will take over now, thank you very much.
"As part of a general cleansing of the Augean stables of humanity. But that's for another discussion."
Now. A question arises; especially given the context of this matter, whereby it would appear that some very powerful people - powerful financially and politically - are engaged in a scenario of gaining total power over The People, in order to further their ends, which would appear, from the record, to include not only population control but culling; and so those people, that cabal, could reasonably be expected not to look favorably on anyone who might try to rock their boat. Am I, for one, in short, afraid for my life? especially given these stakes??
What do I have to say to that question.
Simply this:
No one can really get away with anything. The Creation is a Creation of inherent justice. It allows for progression; and in order to allow for progression, it has by necessity to allow for regression. But ultimately, all souls will return to a state of Unity. Because 'God is Love', as the expression has it. Meaning, there is the quality of Love behind the whole exercise. Allowing for the Prodigal Son to go exploring; and to return home, when he has finished all his explorations, and accepts, and understands, the ultimate reality behind the whole exercise. And knowing, that he is already forgiven for all he has done in his explorations. And just has to forgive himself, to complete the process.
In this regard, I like the words of the playwright Christopher Fry, in his 'A Sleep of Prisoners':
"Affairs are now soul size. The enterprise is exploration into God."
I also, in this regard, like the words of the poet T.S. Eliot:
"We shall not cease from exploration, and the end of all our exploring will be to arrive where we started and know the place for the first time."
And - to give Eliot his total dues - this final word on this subject, at this time:
"You are the music while the music lasts."
Let's see what kind of music YOU can make; to drown out the lesser music of others. And together with the greater music of others.

Terrance Lakin, who is in prison for exercising his right, nay duty, to confirm the eligibility of his orders, via the eligibility-check attempt on his Commander in Chief to ascertain that person's right to hold that position of authority and responsibility, and thus to issue legal orders down the chain of command to him on the front line of duty.
"This issue should be very clear in this country, from the Declaration of Independence through the Constitution.

A Sign of the Times - Updated
Today's 'Natural News' e-newsletter contains an article, by its founder, Dr. Mike Adams ('the Health Ranger'), that brings attention to a stealthy move of major significance to today's world. It is a report on how the TSA and the DHS are planning a massive rollout of mobile surveillance vans ("with long-distance X-ray capability, eye-moving tracking, and more") on the American people. To protect them from terrorists. Conveniently excluding themselves from the category..
My comment:
"Good one, Mike. Thanks for this. I'm not sure how many Americans understand that the federal government's legal rationale for all this is the 'war on terror' that it declared - at least the executive did, and the legislative branch went along with it - thus, in its mind, pre-empting constitutional niceties, and putting the country under a state of 'national emergency', just short of declaring martial law and eliminating the Constitution totally. This turning of the country's form of law upside down - from a default presumption of innocence to one of guilt - needs to be tested in the courts; that, or Congress needs to be forced to own its responsibility in the matter, as the only legal entity capable OF declaring a state of war. And let's get this whole thing out in the open, that The People can clearly make the decision as to how they want to be governed. Not let it fall to the executive to be calling all these sorts of shots. The direction it is taking is pernicious, and needs to be stopped forthwith. (Note that it's the same push for mandatory vaccinations. Too bad about questions about their safety, or about the safety of everybody being X-rayed willy-nilly. The state is all-powerful, because it has declared itself to be...If ever there were a time for push-back, this is it - while the people still can, without too much fuss.)"
I have noted this article as having occurred in the same week that I came across information about 'somebody' stealing fresh water from Lake Mead in the southwest and the Great Lakes in the northeast of the U.S., and shipping it to China (to help them replace drinking water for their people lost to damming for electrical power creation), in return for fluoride (in toxic waste by-product of industry form; also a people controller/pacifier) for U.S. cities; a campaign that 'coincidentally' is being heated up. Not only in the U.S., but in Canada, the UK, and Australia, to my knowledge, and perhaps further afield.
Let's add up the dots. 'Things' would appear to be heating up. All manner of initiatives are being put in place to prepare for major public unrest. There may be a false flag op to kick it all off (shall we note the fact that the CIA bankrolled al-Qaeda? And has fingerprints all over the 9/11 atrocity in the U.S. and the 7/7 one in the UK?? And some intelligence service was involved with the 'underpants bomber' caper??? etc. ad nauseam), but the bare fact remains that The People are being set up, and conditioned, for a police state operation. When The People should be running the show.
As they are starting to do in the Middle East.
So they can't be given too much slack in the reins. Or they may start running with their newly-gained freedom. Out of control. And the Powers That Be can't have that. Because they might lose their power. And then where would they be.
Where they need to be.
Out of power.
Because they have abused their power.
And it's time for The People to take over now, anyway.
Because
it's time.
So people subsets like the Democrats in the U.S. are going to have to realise that it's not good enough to want 'the government' to run many things - the public education scene, mandatory vaccinations, abortions, health care in general, 'equality' legislation, all 'environmental issues' - just because 'the government' will bring a liberal attitude to bear on it all. Not just because 'progressive' people simply have to stop trying to force by law others to behave the way they want them to, in a socialistic way; but because if they fall out of power, out of their statist mentality they will have set up 'the government' to run the way people subsets like many Republicans want it to run, ie, for them, in the way of 'middle-class welfare', and weakened regulatory oversight, so that bankers and businesspeople and pharmaceutical companies and the like - the 'corporate world' - can get away with murder, and sometimes literally. I'm saying that the old paradigm is over, of the limited-consciousness dance between 'the left' and 'the right'. It's over, because it's time to be. And for a new era to be entered into.
The era of The People inheriting their full responsibility to be self-governed, and not relying on 'the state' to give them power. And with that sense of self-responsibility - as free moral agents, with a maturity to attain to - humanity can then do away with money (especially the separation-creators of interest-bearing money on the one hand and fractional-reserve banking on the other), and start operating in harmony with one another (with cheap energy from 'the universe', ie, the creation). Providing one another with goods and services, and individual ingenuity, out of gratitude to their Creator for life with meaning.
Not, you will note, humanity's lesser creators. Who have been running the historical scene from behind the scenes - through their human placemen - long enough. I mean the Most High.
With which we are all One.
Now facing our time of return.
Or continued strife, as illusory individual entities; each out for ourselves.
Which will it be for you, Citizen.
Choose wisely. For I've got news for some of you (apparently).
That is, that we are all phototropic beings. We grow towards the Light, however we are planted. Sooner or later, we fractals of the Light will blend again with the Light, in Unity. You can count on it. And you can work towards it. Or not. It will happen.
Join the movement. And then watch us grow.
My comment:
"Good one, Mike. Thanks for this. I'm not sure how many Americans understand that the federal government's legal rationale for all this is the 'war on terror' that it declared - at least the executive did, and the legislative branch went along with it - thus, in its mind, pre-empting constitutional niceties, and putting the country under a state of 'national emergency', just short of declaring martial law and eliminating the Constitution totally. This turning of the country's form of law upside down - from a default presumption of innocence to one of guilt - needs to be tested in the courts; that, or Congress needs to be forced to own its responsibility in the matter, as the only legal entity capable OF declaring a state of war. And let's get this whole thing out in the open, that The People can clearly make the decision as to how they want to be governed. Not let it fall to the executive to be calling all these sorts of shots. The direction it is taking is pernicious, and needs to be stopped forthwith. (Note that it's the same push for mandatory vaccinations. Too bad about questions about their safety, or about the safety of everybody being X-rayed willy-nilly. The state is all-powerful, because it has declared itself to be...If ever there were a time for push-back, this is it - while the people still can, without too much fuss.)"
I have noted this article as having occurred in the same week that I came across information about 'somebody' stealing fresh water from Lake Mead in the southwest and the Great Lakes in the northeast of the U.S., and shipping it to China (to help them replace drinking water for their people lost to damming for electrical power creation), in return for fluoride (in toxic waste by-product of industry form; also a people controller/pacifier) for U.S. cities; a campaign that 'coincidentally' is being heated up. Not only in the U.S., but in Canada, the UK, and Australia, to my knowledge, and perhaps further afield.
Let's add up the dots. 'Things' would appear to be heating up. All manner of initiatives are being put in place to prepare for major public unrest. There may be a false flag op to kick it all off (shall we note the fact that the CIA bankrolled al-Qaeda? And has fingerprints all over the 9/11 atrocity in the U.S. and the 7/7 one in the UK?? And some intelligence service was involved with the 'underpants bomber' caper??? etc. ad nauseam), but the bare fact remains that The People are being set up, and conditioned, for a police state operation. When The People should be running the show.
As they are starting to do in the Middle East.
